4. Setup
Before using your Pumteck Electric Ball Pump, follow these steps for proper setup:
Accessory Installation:
There are two methods for connecting the inflation accessories:
- Method 1 (with Air Hose): Connect one end of the 10 cm air hose to a ball needle and the other end to the air outlet of the pump (trachea connector). Then, fully insert the needle into the ball's valve.
- Method 2 (Direct Connection): Directly screw a ball needle onto the air outlet of the pump (trachea connector). Then, fully insert the needle into the ball's valve.

Important Tip:
After installing the accessories, it is advisable to test each connection point to ensure proper installation and check for any air leaks. If there is a leak, readjustments are necessary to ensure the pump obtains more accurate pressure, enhancing the inflation experience.
5. Operating Instructions
Follow these steps to inflate your sports ball using the Pumteck Electric Ball Pump:
- Turn On: Long press the power button to turn on the pump. The LCD display will illuminate.
- Preset PSI: Use the "+" and "-" buttons to set your desired PSI (Pounds per Square Inch) based on the type of ball you are inflating. Refer to the ball's recommended pressure, usually printed near the valve.
- Start Inflation: Once the needle is securely inserted into the ball's valve and the desired PSI is set, press the power button again (short press) to start the inflation process. The pump will begin to inflate the ball, and the real-time pressure will be displayed on the LCD.
- Automatic Stop: The pump will automatically stop inflating once the preset pressure is reached.

Tips for Optimal Use:
- Due to a possible 1 PSI error in the pressure sensor, when presetting the PSI value, it is recommended to add 1 PSI more than the expected value for better results.
- For the first use, you can test the most suitable PSI multiple times. The pump has a memory function and will save the last used PSI for the next power-on.
- Avoid accidentally touching the switch during use, which could cause the air pump to stop working before the ball is fully inflated.
6. Maintenance
To ensure the longevity and optimal performance of your Pumteck Electric Ball Pump, follow these simple maintenance guidelines:
- Cleaning: Wipe the exterior of the pump with a soft, dry cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or immerse the device in water.
- Storage: Store the pump and its accessories in the provided waterproof bag in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures.
- Battery Care: Charge the pump regularly, even if not in frequent use, to maintain battery health. Avoid completely draining the battery for extended periods.
- Accessory Inspection: Periodically check the air hose and needles for any signs of wear, bends, or damage. Replace if necessary to ensure efficient inflation.

7. Troubleshooting
If you encounter any issues with your Pumteck Electric Ball Pump, refer to the following common problems and their solutions:
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Pump not turning on. | Low battery or not properly charged. | Charge the pump fully using the provided Type-C cable. Ensure the charging indicator is active. |
| Pump stops before reaching preset PSI. | Accidental touch of the switch during inflation. | Ensure you do not accidentally press the power button during inflation. Restart the inflation process if it stops prematurely. |
| Inaccurate pressure reading or deviation. | Pressure sensor calibration needed or air leak. | Press the "+" and "-" buttons simultaneously to restore calibration (without connecting an inflatable object). Check all connections for air leaks and readjust if necessary. |
| Slow inflation or no inflation. | Air leak in connections or clogged needle. | Ensure all connections (hose to pump, needle to hose/pump, needle to ball valve) are secure and airtight. Check the needle for any blockages. |
