5.2 Important Notes for Inflation

• The pump is recommended for road bikes and is not suitable for mountain bikes.
• It is normal for the pump to heat up during operation.
• Always hold the pump firmly and ensure the valve is tightly connected to the bike valve during inflation.
• The POCKET SE model does not feature a pressure gauge. It is advisable to use an external pressure gauge to monitor tire pressure.
• For TPU inner tubes with resin valves, an extension air hose (not included) must be used to prevent valve damage due to overheating.
