6. Maintenance

• Cleaning: After each use, rinse the armbands with fresh water and mild soap. Do not use harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
• Drying: Allow the armbands to air dry completely before deflating and storing. Do not expose to direct sunlight for extended periods.
• Storage: Deflate the armbands and fold them neatly. Store in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and sharp objects.
• Inspection: Regularly inspect the armbands for any signs of wear, tears, or punctures. Discontinue use if any damage is found.

7. Troubleshooting

Armbands losing air:

• Check Valve Caps: Ensure the inflation valve caps are securely closed and pushed completely into the armband.
• Inspect for Punctures: Carefully examine the entire surface of the armband for any small holes or tears. A common method is to submerge the inflated armband in water and look for air bubbles.
• Valve Seal: Check the seal around the inflation valve for any damage or debris that might prevent a tight seal.
• Temperature Changes: Air inside inflatables can contract in colder temperatures, making them appear less inflated. This is normal.

If you cannot identify or fix the issue, discontinue use and contact customer support.
