Setup

1. Unpack the pump: Carefully remove all components from the packaging.
2. Attach the hose: Connect the flexible hose to the designated port on the pump. Ensure it is firmly secured.
3. Select the correct nozzle: The pump includes three different nozzle sizes. Choose the nozzle that best fits the valve of the item you intend to inflate or deflate. Attach the selected nozzle to the end of the flexible hose.

Operating Instructions

Inflation

1. Connect to item: Insert the chosen nozzle securely into the inflation valve of your inflatable item.
2. Position the pump: Place the foot pump on a flat, stable surface.
3. Begin pumping: Place your foot on the pump's base and use your hands to press the handle down and pull it up. The double-speed mechanism allows air to be pumped on both the up and down strokes, providing efficient inflation.
4. Monitor inflation: Continue pumping until the item is firm to the touch, but do not overinflate. Refer to the inflatable item's instructions for recommended inflation levels.
5. Remove nozzle: Once inflated, quickly remove the nozzle and close the item's valve.

Deflation

The Intex 68605 foot pump can also be used to deflate items, which helps in compact storage.

1. Connect to deflation port: Connect the flexible hose to the deflation port on the pump (usually marked or indicated in the pump's design).
2. Connect to item: Insert the appropriate nozzle securely into the deflation valve of your inflatable item.
3. Begin pumping: Operate the pump by pressing the handle down and pulling it up. This action will draw air out of the inflatable item.
4. Continue until flat: Continue pumping until the item is fully deflated and can be easily folded or stored.
5. Remove nozzle: Once deflated, remove the nozzle and close the item's valve.

Maintenance

• Cleaning: Wipe the pump clean with a damp cloth after use. Do not use harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
• Storage: Store the pump in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. Ensure the hose is not kinked during storage.
• Inspection: Periodically inspect the hose and nozzles for any signs of wear, cracks, or damage. Replace if necessary.

Troubleshooting

• Low airflow: Ensure the hose is securely attached to both the pump and the nozzle. Check that the nozzle is correctly inserted into the inflatable item's valve.
• Pump not moving smoothly: Check for any obstructions in the pump mechanism. Ensure the pump is on a flat surface.
• Item not inflating/deflating: Verify that you are using the correct port for inflation or deflation. Ensure the valve on the inflatable item is open and the nozzle creates a tight seal.
