Troubleshooting

Pump not reaching desired pressure

Ensure the valve head is securely attached to the tire valve. Check that the Multi Valve head is set to the correct valve type (Presta or Schrader). Inspect the hose and pump body for any visible leaks or damage. Ensure the pedal is being operated with a stable foot position.

Pressure gauge is inaccurate

The gauge is calibrated for accuracy. If you suspect an issue, try inflating a tire with a known accurate pressure gauge for comparison. Ensure the pump has reached its maximum capacity; extreme pressures can sometimes affect gauge readings.

Hose seems loose or detached

Check the connection point of the spiral hose to the pump body. If it appears loose, contact customer support or refer to the product manual for reattachment instructions. Ensure the valve head is fully engaged on the tire valve.

Pump feels stiff or difficult to operate

Operate the pump on a stable, flat surface. Ensure the aluminum pedal is moving smoothly. If stiffness persists, there might be internal debris; contact customer support for advice on cleaning or servicing.
