FAQs
What types of valves does this pump work with?
The pump features a twin head hose that is compatible with both Presta and Schrader valves.
What is the maximum pressure this pump can reach?
The pump is designed to reach a maximum pressure of 200 psi (13.6 bar), indicated on its easy-to-read gauge.
Can I use this pump for anything other than bicycle tires?
Yes, the pump includes needles for inflating sports balls and air bladders, making it versatile for various inflatable items.
How do I ensure an airtight seal when pumping?
Once the hose head is attached to the valve, firmly engage the thumb lock lever. This creates a secure, airtight connection.
Is the hose detachable?
The hose is integrated into the pump design and is not detachable.
What material is the pump made of?
The pump features a strong steel metal barrel and base for durability.
How easy is it to store?
The pump has a relatively compact design for a track pump, with a wide base for stability. It should be stored in a dry place.
Troubleshooting
Pump not inflating tires
Ensure the thumb lock lever is fully engaged on the valve. Check that the correct valve head (Presta or Schrader) is being used and that the valve on the tire is functioning correctly. Inspect the hose for any leaks or damage.
Air is leaking around the valve stem
Press the thumb lock lever firmly. Ensure the hose head is seated correctly on the valve. If the leak persists, check the rubber gasket inside the valve head for wear or debris and clean if necessary.
Gauge is not accurate
Ensure the pump has been recently calibrated or compare its reading with a separate, known accurate gauge. If the gauge appears damaged or consistently inaccurate, consider professional servicing or replacement.
Handle is stiff or difficult to move
Check for any obstructions around the barrel or handle. Ensure the pump is clean and dry. A small amount of silicone lubricant may be applied to the main shaft if stiffness persists, but use sparingly.
