Troubleshooting
Pump is not building pressure.
Ensure the hose is securely connected to the valve and the thumb lock is fully engaged. Check if the valve on the item is functioning correctly. Inspect the pump's hose and seals for any visible leaks or damage.
Pressure gauge is not accurate.
Allow the gauge to rest for a few minutes, as it can take a moment to settle. If consistently inaccurate, the gauge may need recalibration or replacement, though this is uncommon for minor discrepancies.
Thumb lock valve is difficult to attach or seal.
Ensure the valve stem is clean and free of debris. Try wiggling the connector slightly while engaging the lock. Some valves may require a firmer push or a specific angle for a perfect seal.
Footplate feels unstable.
Make sure the footplate is fully unfolded and resting on a flat, stable surface. Ensure all locking mechanisms, if present, are engaged.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: The foot pump is ready for immediate use. Simply unfold the footplate, attach the desired adaptor to the hose, and connect it securely to the valve of the item you wish to inflate. Ensure the thumb lock is engaged for a tight seal.

Store in a dry place, preferably in its original packaging or a protective bag, to prevent rust and damage. Periodically check the hose for cracks and the gauge for functionality. Ensure the thumb lock mechanism is clean to maintain a good seal.
