Package Contents
Your Dripex Freestanding Punching Bag is shipped in two separate packages. If you receive only one package, please allow 1-2 additional days for the second package to arrive.

Setup and Assembly
- Unpack Components: Carefully remove all parts from the packaging.
- Assemble Damping System: Attach the PVC absorbers and springs to the base according to the included diagrams. Ensure all connections are secure.

- The base must be filled for stability. Sand is recommended for filling (maximum 83 kg).
- Avoid using water as a filling agent, especially if relying on suction cups, to prevent potential leaks and reduce stability.
- Pour sand into the designated filling port on the base until it reaches maximum capacity.
- Position the Punching Bag: Place the assembled punching bag on a smooth, flat floor surface (e.g., tiled floor) to allow the 12 suction cups to adhere properly, enhancing stability.
Features and Operation
Multi-Layer Construction

The punching bag features a durable multi-layer construction designed for resilience and rapid rebound. It includes:
- Manual nylon stitching and machine stitching for enhanced durability.
- 2mm thick synthetic polyurethane (PU) leather exterior, resistant to tearing.
- Internal stainless steel tube for structural integrity.
- Fabric buffers and resilient EPE foam for optimal shock absorption.
Improved Damping System

Ultra-Silent Operation

Recommended Use
This freestanding punching bag is suitable for various combat sports and fitness training, including English boxing, Muay Thai, kickboxing, full contact, Karate, and Taekwondo. Its total height of 175 cm accommodates users between 120 cm and 185 cm tall.
Maintenance
- Cleaning: Wipe the punching bag's exterior with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid harsh chemicals that may damage the synthetic leather.
- Storage: Store the punching bag in a dry environment, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures.
- Base Check: Periodically check the base for any signs of wear or damage. Ensure the filling port cap is securely closed.
- Suction Cups: Ensure suction cups are clean and free of debris for optimal adhesion to the floor.
Troubleshooting
- Instability: If the punching bag feels unstable, ensure the base is filled to its maximum capacity (83 kg of sand). Verify that all suction cups are firmly attached to a clean, smooth, flat floor.
- Excessive Noise/Vibration: Check that all assembly hardware is tightened. Ensure the damping system components (PVC absorbers and springs) are correctly installed and not obstructed.
- Bag Not Rebounding Properly: Inspect the damping system for any damage or misalignment. Ensure the bag is not over-filled or under-filled with internal materials (not user-serviceable).
