Package Contents
Verify that all components are present before beginning assembly:
- Everlast 2264G Hyperflex Strike Bag (includes punching bag, adjustable pole, and base)

Setup Instructions
- Unpack Components: Carefully remove all parts from the packaging and lay them out on a clean, flat surface.
- Fill the Base: The base must be filled for stability.
- Locate the fill opening on the base.

Operating Instructions
The Everlast Hyperflex Strike Bag is designed for dynamic training. Its flexible design allows for various types of strikes and drills.
- Striking Technique: Focus on precision, timing, and speed. The bag's rebound helps develop rhythm and reaction time.
- Footwork: Incorporate footwork drills around the bag to simulate movement in a ring or cage.
- Adjustable Flex: The Hyperflex system allows for adjustment of the bag's rebound characteristics. Refer to the product's specific instructions (if available) for detailed guidance on adjusting the flex for different training intensities or types of strikes (e.g., quick jabs vs. powerful uppercuts).
- Cardio Training: Use the bag for continuous striking to elevate heart rate and improve cardiovascular endurance.
Maintenance
- Cleaning: Wipe down the strike bag and pole with a damp cloth after each use to remove sweat and dirt. Use mild soap if necessary, then wipe dry. Do not use abrasive cleaners.
- Check Connections: Periodically inspect all bolts, screws, and connections to ensure they remain tight. Re-tighten as needed to maintain stability and prevent wear.
- Base Integrity: Regularly check the base for any signs of leakage or cracks. If using water, ensure the cap is sealed. If using sand, ensure no sand is escaping.
- Storage: Store the strike bag in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures when not in use for extended periods.
Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |

| Base leaks water/sand. | Fill cap not secured; crack in base. | Ensure fill cap is tightly closed. Inspect base for damage; if cracked, contact customer support for replacement parts. |
| Bag feels unstable or wobbles excessively. | Base not fully filled; loose connections; uneven surface. | Ensure base is completely filled. Check and tighten all assembly bolts. Place the bag on a flat, level surface. |
