Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup
Your Mitre Impel One Football will arrive deflated. To prepare it for use:
- Locate the Valve: Find the small opening (valve) on the ball's surface.
- Moisten Needle: Lightly moisten your inflation needle before inserting it into the valve. This helps protect the valve and needle from damage.
- Inflate: Insert the needle of a hand pump (not included) into the valve and inflate the ball to the recommended pressure. Check the ball's surface for the recommended PSI/bar – typically found near the valve. Do not overinflate.
Compatibility
- Playing Surfaces: This football is specifically designed for optimal performance on both natural grass pitches and artificial AstroTurf surfaces.
- Age/Skill Level: Ideal for training and skill development for players requiring a Size 5 football.
Care
- Cleaning: After use, especially on wet or muddy surfaces, gently wipe the ball clean with a damp cloth to remove dirt and debris. Avoid harsh chemicals.
- Storage: Store the ball in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight or extreme temperatures, which can damage the ball's materials over time.
- Inflation Maintenance: Regularly check the ball's air pressure. Proper inflation ensures optimal performance and prolongs the ball's lifespan. Re-inflate as needed to the recommended pressure.
