3. Setup
Before using the pump, ensure you select the correct attachment for the item you wish to inflate.
- Identify the Valve: Determine the type of valve on the item you are inflating (e.g., needle valve for basketballs, larger plastic valve for exercise balls).
- Attach the Correct Nozzle:
- For sports balls (e.g., basketballs, soccer balls): Gently screw the metal inflation needle onto the pump's nozzle.
- For larger inflatables (e.g., exercise balls, pool floats): Firmly push the red plastic nozzle onto the pump's nozzle.
- Secure Connection: Ensure the chosen attachment is securely fastened to prevent air leakage during inflation.
4. Operating Instructions
Follow these steps to inflate your item using the CanDo Hand Inflation Pump:
- Insert Nozzle: Carefully insert the attached nozzle into the valve of the item you wish to inflate. Ensure a snug fit to minimize air loss.
- Begin Pumping: Hold the item steady with one hand and the pump handle with the other. Push and pull the pump handle in a smooth, consistent motion. The pump is designed to inflate on both the push and pull strokes, maximizing efficiency.
- Monitor Inflation: Continue pumping until the item reaches the desired firmness. Avoid over-inflating, as this can damage the item. Refer to the item's manufacturer recommendations for optimal inflation pressure.
- Remove Pump: Once inflated, carefully remove the nozzle from the item's valve.
