Safety & Usage Information – Molten / Anastasia Sport Ball

✔️ Correct Use

• Product intended for organized sports activities, under proper supervision.

• Recommended for indoor use only, on approved volleyball/basketball/handball courts.

• Do not use on concrete, asphalt, or other hard surfaces – this will void the warranty.

• Use in commercial / industrial environments (clubs, gyms, schools) only with prior approval from Anastasia Sport – Official Molten Distributor.

👶 Children & Safety

• Not suitable for children under 3 years old – risk of injury.

• Recommended for children only under adult supervision.

• Inflation must be carried out exclusively by an adult, using a proper ball inflation needle (NOT a syringe needle).

• Keep accessories (needle, pump) out of reach of children.

🧼 Care & Storage

• Keep the ball inflated or semi-inflated.

• Do not store completely deflated – this may cause permanent creases.

• Avoid:

  • Extreme temperatures and direct heat sources (sunlight, radiators, hot car trunks).

  • Excessive humidity.

  • Solvents or harsh detergents.

• Cleaning recommendations:

  • Natural leather balls: use specialized leather cleaner applied with a soft cloth. Do not soak in water or dry with heat.

  • Synthetic leather balls: wipe with a damp cloth; for stubborn stains use mild detergent or synthetic leather cleaner.

• After cleaning, allow the ball to dry in a well-ventilated area, away from sunlight and heat sources.

💨 Correct Inflation = Valid Warranty

• Always use a special rounded (blunt) inflation needle.

• Always moisten the needle (with water and mild soap or silicone) before insertion.

• Insert the needle slowly, without applying downward pressure on the valve.

• Inflate the ball slowly and evenly, to the pressure printed on the ball surface.

• While inflating, gently compress the ball with your hands to prevent overstressing the bladder.

• Do not use industrial or car compressors – sudden high airflow can damage the valve or bladder.

• Over-inflation may cause deformation, bladder explosion, and void the warranty.

❌ Loss of Warranty

• Incorrect use:

  • playing on unsuitable surfaces (concrete, asphalt, rough outdoor courts)

  • wrong pressure (over-inflated / under-inflated)

  • incorrect needle insertion damaging the valve

• Product modifications (cutting, gluing, painting).

• Cleaning with unsuitable or aggressive products.

• Failure to follow proper transport, handling, and storage conditions.
