Safety, Usage & Maintenance Information – Indoor / Outdoor | Size 7 / 6 / 5 | Product Code: B7/6/G3850

✔️ Proper Use

The Molten B7G3850 basketball is intended for school training sessions and competitions, either indoors or on outdoor courts specifically designed for basketball.

Do not use the ball on hard surfaces such as concrete, asphalt, or abrasive tartan – these lead to accelerated wear and void the warranty.

Commercial/industrial use (e.g., gyms, private clubs) is only permitted with prior approval from Anastasia Sport – Official Molten Distributor in Romania.

Use under adult supervision is recommended for children and young athletes.

👶 Child Safety

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

The ball must only be inflated by an adult using a special ball needle with a rounded tip.

Do not leave accessories such as the pump or needle within reach of children.

🧼 Maintenance and Storage

Store the ball inflated or semi-inflated according to the recommended pressure.

Do not store it completely deflated – this may cause permanent creases that affect shape and performance.

Avoid exposure to:

• extreme temperatures (e.g., car trunk in summer, radiators)

• direct sunlight

• excessive humidity

• contact with solvents or harsh detergents

Recommended cleaning:

• Synthetic leather (PU): wipe with a damp cloth. For stains, use mild detergent or a dedicated synthetic material cleaner.

• Let the ball air dry naturally in a well-ventilated area, away from heat sources.

💨 Inflation Instructions – Molten Ball

Check the correct pressure printed next to the valve. Optimal pressure: 0.49 – 0.63 bar

Steps for correct inflation:

1. Moisten the needle with soapy water or silicone lubricant.

2. Only use a special ball needle with a rounded tip (NOT a syringe needle).

3. Insert the needle slowly and carefully, without applying pressure on the valve.

4. Inflate gradually, with controlled pressure.

5. During inflation, gently compress the ball with your hands to prevent inner bladder tension.

DO NOT use car or industrial compressors – they may damage the valve or cause the bladder to burst.

❌ Warranty Voiding Situations

The warranty is void in the following situations:

• Using the ball on improper surfaces (concrete, asphalt, hard synthetic courts)

• Incorrect pressure (under- or over-inflation)

• Improper needle insertion or use of an unsuitable needle

• Ball modifications: cutting, gluing, painting/marking

• Cleaning with solvents or aggressive products

• Inappropriate storage: in direct sunlight, excessive heat, or humidity

📦 Following these recommendations ensures optimal lifespan and preserves game performance.
