4. Setup Instructions
Follow these steps to assemble your freestanding punching bag:

- Inflate the Punching Bag: Locate the air valve on the punching bag. Use the provided electric air pump to inflate the bag until it is firm but not overinflated. Ensure the valve is securely closed after inflation.
