8. Maintenance

• Battery Care: To maintain battery activity, recharge the pump at least once a month, especially if not used for a long time.
• Continuous Use: To protect the battery-powered air pump, do not use it constantly for over 10 minutes. Allow it to cool down before resuming use.
• Cleaning: The pump has an IPX4 water-resistant rating, meaning it can withstand splashes. Wipe the exterior with a damp cloth if needed. Do not submerge in water.

9. Troubleshooting

• Pump not turning on: Ensure the battery is charged. The pump requires a double-click to turn on to prevent accidental activation.
• Item not inflating/deflating properly: Check that the correct nozzle is securely attached and inserted firmly into the item's valve. Ensure there are no leaks in the inflatable item.
• Pump stops working during use: The pump may have overheated due to continuous use. Allow it to cool down for a few minutes before attempting to use it again. Remember not to use it for more than 10 minutes continuously.
