2. Setup and Inflation

This sleeping pad features an integrated foot pump for convenient inflation without the need for external devices or breath. It is recommended to place the pad inside your tent or desired sleeping area before inflation.

2.1 Inflation Process

1. Unroll the Pad: Lay the sleeping pad flat on a clean, level surface.
2. Locate the Foot Pump Valve: Identify the valve marked for inflation, typically located near one end of the pad. This valve is designed for one-way airflow.
3. Open the Valve: Ensure the inflation valve is open.
4. Inflate with Foot: Place your foot or hand over the pump area and press down firmly to push air into the pad. Lift your foot/hand to allow the pump chamber to refill with air. Repeat this pumping action.
5. Monitor Firmness: Continue pumping until the pad reaches your desired firmness. The 4-inch thickness provides substantial cushioning.
6. Close the Valve: Once inflated, securely close the inflation valve to prevent air leakage.

Inflation typically takes approximately 3-5 minutes of continuous pumping.

2.2 Deflation and Packing

1. Open the Release Valve: Locate the separate quick-release valve, typically larger than the inflation valve. Open this valve completely.
2. Expel Air: Begin rolling the pad tightly from the end opposite the valve. Apply pressure to force air out through the open valve. You may need to roll over the pad multiple times to expel all air.
3. Fold and Secure: Once deflated, fold the pad lengthwise and then roll it tightly. Secure it with any included straps or place it directly into the provided carry bag.

While the pad is designed to pack compactly, achieving its original factory size may require careful rolling and compression.

4. Maintenance and Care

Proper maintenance ensures the longevity and performance of your sleeping pad.

4.1 Cleaning

• Spot Cleaning: For minor dirt or spills, wipe the surface with a damp cloth and mild soap.
• Drying: Ensure the pad is completely dry before packing it away to prevent mold or mildew. Air dry in a shaded area; avoid direct sunlight for prolonged periods.
• Avoid Harsh Chemicals: Do not use harsh detergents, bleach, or abrasive cleaners, as these can damage the fabric and TPU lamination.

4.2 Storage

• Deflate Completely: Ensure all air is expelled from the pad before rolling and storing.
• Store in Carry Bag: Use the provided carry bag for protection against dust and damage.
• Cool, Dry Place: Store the pad in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures.

4.3 Repair

A repair patch is included with your sleeping pad for minor punctures. To use:

1. Locate Leak: Inflate the pad and submerge it in water or apply soapy water to the surface to find the leak (bubbles will appear).
2. Clean and Dry: Clean the area around the puncture and ensure it is completely dry.
3. Apply Patch: Peel off the backing from the repair patch and firmly press it over the puncture. Hold for several minutes to ensure adhesion.
4. Allow to Cure: Wait several hours before reinflating the pad to allow the patch adhesive to fully cure.

5. Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues with your Hikenture Double Sleeping Pad, refer to the following common solutions:

• Pad Does Not Inflate Fully:
  • Ensure the inflation valve is fully open during pumping.
  • Verify that your foot or hand completely covers the pump opening during the downward press to maximize air intake.
  • Check for any obstructions in the pump mechanism.
• Pad Loses Air:
  • Valve Closure: Ensure both the inflation and quick-release valves are securely closed after inflation.
  • Puncture: Inspect the pad for small punctures or tears. Use the included repair patch as described in the Maintenance section.
  • Temperature Changes: Air pressure inside the pad can decrease in colder temperatures, making the pad feel softer. This is normal and can be remedied by adding a few more pumps of air.
• Difficulty Packing into Carry Bag:
  • Ensure the pad is completely deflated. Open the quick-release valve and roll the pad tightly, applying pressure to expel all air.
  • Fold the pad lengthwise into thirds or quarters before rolling to match the bag's dimensions.
