• Pump Body: The main cylinder where air is compressed.
• Handle: Ergonomically designed for comfortable pumping.
• Manometer (Pressure Gauge): Displays the current air pressure in the tire.
• Valve Head: Connects to the tire valve.
• Mounting Brackets: For attaching the pump to your bicycle frame.
• Valve Adaptors: Small attachments for different valve types (e.g., Presta, Schrader, Dunlop).

Setup

Attaching Mounting Brackets to Bicycle Frame

1. Identify suitable mounting points on your bicycle frame, typically near the water bottle cage bosses.
2. Use the provided screws (if applicable, or your bicycle's existing screws) to secure the mounting brackets to the frame. Ensure they are tightened securely.
3. Once the brackets are installed, the pump can be clipped into place for secure transport.

Operating Instructions

1. Prepare the Tire Valve

• Schrader Valve (Car-type valve): Unscrew the valve cap.
• Presta Valve (French valve): Unscrew the valve cap, then unscrew the small knurled nut at the top of the valve stem until it is loose. Press down briefly on the valve stem to release any trapped air.
• Dunlop Valve (Woods valve): Unscrew the valve cap.
• Select the appropriate valve adaptor from the included set if your pump head does not directly fit your valve type.

2. Attach the Pump to the Valve

• Firmly push the pump's valve head onto the tire valve. For some pump heads, you may need to flip a lever to lock it in place. Ensure a tight seal to prevent air leakage.

3. Inflate the Tire

• Hold the pump body steady with one hand and push and pull the handle smoothly and consistently.
• Monitor the manometer (pressure gauge) to ensure you are inflating to the recommended pressure for your tire. This information is usually printed on the tire's sidewall.

4. Detach the Pump

• Once the desired pressure is reached, quickly and firmly pull the pump head off the valve. If your pump head has a locking lever, release it first.
• For Presta valves, remember to tighten the small knurled nut at the top of the valve stem and replace the valve cap. Replace valve caps on all valve types.

Maintenance

• Cleaning: Wipe the pump body with a damp cloth to remove dirt and grime. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
• Storage: Store the pump in a dry place, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. Utilizing the included mounting brackets on your bicycle is an ideal storage solution during rides.
• Inspection: Periodically check the pump for any signs of wear, damage, or loose parts. Ensure the valve head and adaptors are clean and free of debris.

Troubleshooting

• Pump not inflating tire / Air leaking from valve connection:

  Ensure the pump head is securely and correctly attached to the tire valve. Check if the valve adaptor (if used) is properly seated. For Presta valves, ensure the small nut is unscrewed before attaching the pump.
• Manometer not showing pressure:

  Ensure the pump is firmly attached and there is no air leakage. The manometer will only register pressure once air starts flowing into the tire and pressure builds up.

• Difficulty pumping:

  Check for any obstructions in the pump's air path. Ensure the pump is clean and free of debris. If the pump feels unusually stiff, it may require internal lubrication (consult manufacturer if persistent).
