Troubleshooting
Pump not inflating tire
Ensure the AirTap head is securely attached to the valve. Check if the correct valve setting is selected on the head. Verify that the pump head is locked onto the valve properly. Listen for air leaks around the connection.
Inaccurate pressure reading
Ensure the gauge is clean and free from debris. If the reading seems consistently off, the gauge may require recalibration or replacement. Use a separate digital gauge to verify accuracy.
Air leaking from pump head
Inspect the grommets inside the AirTap head for damage or debris. Clean the valve stem and the inside of the pump head. Ensure the head is fully locked onto the valve.
Stiff pumping action
Check the barrel for any obstructions. If the pump has been stored for a long time, the internal seal might need lubrication. Contact customer support for guidance on lubrication.
