5. Operating Instructions
5.1. Power On/Off
- To power on, press and hold the power button until the display illuminates.
- To power off, press and hold the power button again until the display turns off.
5.2. Setting Target Pressure
- With the pump powered on, use the '+' and '-' buttons to adjust the desired target pressure (PSI or BAR).
- Ensure the unit (PSI/BAR) matches the requirement of your inflatable.
5.3. Inflation Process
The TPS300 features a dual-stage inflation system for efficiency and an automatic shut-off for safety.
- Connect the air hose with the appropriate nozzle to your inflatable's valve.
- Connect the other end of the air hose to the pump's inflation port.
- Set your desired target pressure using the '+' and '-' buttons.
- Press the start button to begin inflation.
- The pump will operate in its first stage (high volume, low pressure) until a certain pressure is reached, then automatically switch to the second stage (low volume, high pressure) to achieve the target PSI.
- The pump will automatically shut off once the target pressure is reached.

5.4. Deflation Process
The pump can also be used to quickly deflate inflatables for easier packing and storage.
- Connect the air hose with the appropriate nozzle to your inflatable's valve.
- Connect the other end of the air hose to the pump's deflation port.
- Press the start button to begin deflation. The pump will extract air from the inflatable.
- Once deflation is complete, turn off the pump and disconnect the hose.

6. Maintenance
6.1. Cleaning
- Wipe the exterior of the pump with a soft, damp cloth.
- Do not use abrasive cleaners or immerse the pump in water.
- Ensure all ports are free from dust and debris.
6.2. Storage
- Store the pump in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures.
- For optimal battery longevity, it is recommended to keep the battery charged to at least 2 bars and recharge it after each use, especially before long periods of storage. Avoid leaving the battery fully discharged.
7. Troubleshooting
Refer to the table below for common issues and their solutions.
| Issue | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Pump not turning on or charging. | Battery fully discharged; faulty charging cable/adapter. | Ensure the pump is connected to a working power source. Try a different Type-C cable or charger. If the battery was completely drained, it may require a longer initial charge. |
| Pump not switching to high-pressure (second) stage during inflation. | Loose valve attachment; insufficient back pressure from inflatable. | Ensure all hose connections and nozzle attachments are secure and tight. For some inflatables, applying slight pressure (e.g., stepping on the board) may help initiate the second stage. |
| Error Code EE4 displayed. | Indicates a battery-related issue, often due to deep discharge. | If possible, run the pump until the battery is completely depleted. Then, attempt to fully recharge the pump. To prevent this, avoid letting the battery drop below 2 bars of charge. |
| Inaccurate pressure reading. | Incorrect pressure unit selected (PSI vs. BAR). | Verify that the pump is set to the correct pressure unit (PSI or BAR) for your inflatable. Adjust as needed. |
