The TwinHead pump head is designed for easy compatibility with Presta, Schrader, and Dunlop valves without needing to swap internal parts.

1. Prepare the Valve:
   • Presta Valve: Unscrew the valve cap and then unscrew the small knurled nut at the top of the valve stem a few turns. Press down briefly on the nut to release a small amount of air and ensure the valve is open.
   • Schrader/Dunlop Valve: Simply remove the valve cap.
2. Attach the TwinHead:
   • Presta Valve: Push the smaller opening of the TwinHead (marked 'P' or with a narrower hole) firmly onto the Presta valve stem. Flip the yellow lever to the locked position.
   • Schrader/Dunlop Valve: Push the larger opening of the TwinHead (marked 'S' or with a wider hole) firmly onto the Schrader/Dunlop valve stem. Flip the yellow lever to the locked position.
3. Inflate the Tire: Begin pumping the handle up and down in smooth, full strokes.
4. Monitor Pressure: Observe the top-mounted analog gauge to reach your desired tire pressure (PSI or Bar). The maximum capacity is 160 psi / 11 bar.
5. Adjust Pressure (if needed): If you over-inflate, use the small air release button located near the gauge to slowly release air until the correct pressure is achieved.
6. Remove the TwinHead: Once the desired pressure is reached, flip the yellow lever back to the unlocked position and quickly pull the TwinHead off the valve stem.
7. Secure the Valve:
   • Presta Valve: Tighten the knurled nut on the valve stem and replace the valve cap.
   • Schrader/Dunlop Valve: Replace the valve cap.

4.2. Using Ball and Bladder Adapters

The ball and bladder adapters are stored conveniently on the pump base. To use them:

1. Retrieve Adapter: Carefully remove the desired adapter (ball needle or plastic bladder nozzle) from its storage slot on the pump base.
2. Attach Adapter: Screw the adapter onto the Schrader side of the TwinHead pump head.
3. Inflate: Insert the adapter into the item to be inflated (e.g., basketball, inflatable toy) and pump until the desired firmness is achieved.
4. Remove Adapter: Unscrew the adapter from the TwinHead and return it to its storage location.

5. Maintenance

• Cleaning: Wipe down the pump body and hose with a damp cloth after use to remove dirt and grime. Avoid using harsh chemicals.
• Lubrication: Periodically apply a small amount of silicone-based lubricant to the pump shaft and seals to ensure smooth operation and prevent wear.
• Storage: Store the pump in a dry, clean environment away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. Ensure the hose is properly docked and the handle is locked down for compact storage.
• Inspect Hose and Head: Regularly check the hose for cracks or damage and the TwinHead for any signs of wear that might affect its sealing ability. Replace components if necessary.
