Troubleshooting

Ball won't stay on the track.

Ensure you are holding the sphere level and making smooth, controlled movements. Avoid sudden jerks. If the ball falls, place it back on the nearest numbered starting point.

Ball fell off and is difficult to retrieve.

Gently tilt and rotate the sphere until the ball is visible and accessible. Carefully reposition it on the track.

Obstacles seem stuck or difficult to maneuver.

Rotate the sphere to get a better angle. Sometimes a slight adjustment in your grip or a different approach angle is needed.

The sphere feels loose or parts seem detached.

Inspect the sphere for any visible damage. If parts appear loose, contact customer support for assistance, as internal mechanisms may be affected.
