Proper label application will help to keep the label
looking its best!
• Make sure the area where the label will be applied is clean
and dry. Wipe the backboard with a clean, soft, dry cloth to
remove any dust or oils.
• For best results, avoid applying the label more than once.
• Peel the backing from one half of the label. Do not remove
all of the backing!
• Align the side edge of label 1 (where backing is removed)
with the side edge of the label area on the backboard.
• Carefully apply the side edge of the label to the side edge
of the label area on the backboard.
• While rubbing the label in place, continue to peel the back-
ing from the other half of the label.

• Position the base as shown.
• Position the upper post so that the straight end is down
and the curved end is up and facing away from the base.
Hint: For easier assembly, apply liquid soap or rub a candle
or bar soap around the bottom of the upper post (especially
on the corners) and the inside of the large square opening.
If assembling inside, place a tarp under the base to protect
the floor surface.
• Apply the remaining labels to the backboard. Labels 2-5
are designed to overlap.
• Dispose of the label backing properly.
• Insert the upper post into the large square opening in the
base and, using a circular motion, push it all the way down.

• This toy includes an inflatable ball. If the ball becomes
soft, inflate it with a standard, manual air pump with a
standard air needle.
• The ball will contain the correct amount of air when its
circumference measures about 21-22 inches (53-56 cm).
Measure the circumference of the ball with a tape mea-
sure or with a piece of string cut 21-22 inches (53-56 cm)
long. Do not over-inflate the ball.
• If the lever comes off, simply re-attach it.
• Insert the peg on one side of the lever into the hole in
the collar.
• Snap the other peg in the lever into the other hole in
the collar.
Assembly is now complete.
• To clean, use a clean, damp cloth. Be sure to remove
soap residue.
• Do not immerse this product.
Please refer to assembly step 2 to fill the base with
water or approximately 50 lbs. (22.7 kg) of sand (water
and sand not included) to keep this product stationary.
• Do not leave this toy outside in freezing weather. Water left
inside the base will freeze and possibly damage the base.
• Check all fasteners regularly to be sure they are tight. If
the fasteners are not tight, tighten them as necessary.
• Check plastic parts regularly and if broken or cracked, dis-
pose of them properly.
• We recommend indoor storage if this product will not be
