If you bite on the thing as you blow on it, it opens the hole inside so it's easier to do. Have fun, my baby loves hers!

You defiantly need a pump. We used our electric tire pump. Took about a half an hour to inflate.

Once it inflates, you need to purchase the CO2 re-arming kit (over $20 on Amazon) for the next use. Of course, you can blow it up manually but that defeats the whole concept. Since Amazon does not let you return this item, I would definitely check this out at a sporting goods store first. I, for one, would not buy it again.

I just inflate it with an air compressor. If you have a bike tire pump this would also work but may take a little longer

I usually have to pump it up before i use it. It seems to loose air after use.

My air tube popped out easy to blow it up. I use the air mattress pump now much easier and that might work if yours is defective. Or send it back.

I used a pump that came with my exercise ball. Otherwise its the gas station...no way I could blow this up :) Still inflated though.

When you unroll it, it inflates. You have to do this a couple of times before it fully inflates.

I truly had no trouble inflating mine...just opened the valve and blew into it. If & WHEN you do get it operationaldon't inflate it until it's taut. Leave it a bit limp. We have gotten 2 summers out of our 6, and they're still going into the pool again this summer. Good luck! If it's still not inflating, send it back...I'm sure the seller will want to know it's not working.

You are missing a plug. It comes with two. A hand held air pump will inflate it.

The pump you have is broken. The same thing happened to me the second time I tried to use my pump (it was after my brother-in-law was messing around with the pump so I guess they are delicate). However, I had purchased two balance discs (one for each foot) and each came with its own pump. I used the second pump and it inflated fine. Get another pump (perhaps at a sporting goods store or Amazon) and you should be fine. In the mean time you can take the pump needle to a bike store or service station and see if they will fill your disc for you. Your local gym teacher also has a pump that will work.

Hey Calvin, I have had the same issue, so no help here, and it won't air up my air bags over 40#'s.

I just opened mine. Make sure the pump pin is screwed on tightly and that you stick the pin halfway into the ball. I had air escaping and my husband made those two adjustments and my ball is firm and has retained its firmness.

If you have already "pulled the plug" on the air valve, use a compressor with a long attachment to insert into the air valve. It will inflate within seconds.

I recommend that you check the following: 1. Is the Stanley 450 fully charged? 2. Is the tubing properly connected to the body of the Stanley 450 at one end and to the valve that attached to the item to be inflated at the other end? 3. Are there any leaks along the tubing or at the ends? 4. Is the tubing blocked? (If the pressure as indicated on the pressure gauge increases significantly when you run the compressor, but no air comes out the end, then then there may be a blockage.) Hope you are able to resolve.

I had the same problem. You don't need to press it to hard to the surface or maybe your air compressor is up to high. Hope this helps�

Have used it to inflate t0 80psi but difficult to use at that pressure, maybe that Im a weakling
