Maintenance

To ensure the longevity and appearance of your Inateck backpack, follow these maintenance guidelines:

• Cleaning: For minor spills or dirt, wipe the surface with a damp cloth and mild soap. Do not machine wash or tumble dry.
• Drying: Air dry the backpack completely before storing to prevent mildew.
• Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use.
• Water Resistance: While the fabric is splash-resistant, it is not fully waterproof. Avoid prolonged exposure to heavy rain or submerging the backpack in water.

Troubleshooting

Backpack does not fit airline carry-on sizer:

• Ensure the backpack is in its unexpanded (17L) state by zipping up the expansion zipper.
• Avoid overpacking, which can distort the bag's shape and exceed dimensions.
• Always check the specific carry-on dimensions of your airline, as they can vary.

Zippers are stiff or stuck:

• Apply a small amount of zipper lubricant (e.g., wax, silicone spray) to the zipper teeth.
• Gently work the zipper back and forth to distribute the lubricant.
