Adjusting the Rim Height
Care
• To clean, use a mild soap and water solution and
clean cloth. Rinse clean with warm water to remove
soap residue.
IMPORTANT! Rim height should only be adjusted by an adult. Also, make sure children
are not standing below the rim when adjusting the rim height.
• Be sure to drain water from the base before
extended storage. If water freezes in the base, it
could cause damage.

• This toy includes an inflatable ball. If the ball becomes
soft, inflate it with a standard, hand-operated air pump
with a standard air needle.
• The ball will contain the correct amount of air when its
circumference measures 21 to 22 inches. Measure the
circumference of the ball with a tape measure or with
a piece of string cut 21 to 22 inches long. Do not over-
inflate the ball.

upper post and push the lever into the slot at
4' or 5'.
• To raise the rim height: simply lift the upper post and
push the lever into the slot at 5' or 6'.
