Introduction
The Topeak Turbo Morph G Bike Pump is designed to offer the efficiency of a floor pump with the convenience of a portable mini pump. It features a digital gauge for accurate pressure readings and is compatible with multiple valve types. This manual provides instructions for proper setup, operation, maintenance, and troubleshooting to ensure optimal performance and longevity of your pump.
Key Features:
- High-Pressure Digital Gauge: Provides accurate tire pressure readings up to 160 psi / 11 bar.
- Versatile Valve Compatibility: Compatible with Presta, Schrader, and Dunlop valves without requiring adapters.
- Efficient Pumping Design: Features a fold-out footpeg and flexible hose for stable and efficient inflation.
- Durable & Lightweight Construction: Constructed with a butted aluminum barrel and T-type dual-density polymer handle; weighs approximately 320g.
- Convenient Mounting: Includes a centerline mount bracket for easy attachment to your bike frame.
Setup
1. Unpacking and Components
Carefully remove the Topeak Turbo Morph G Bike Pump from its packaging. Ensure all components are present:
- Topeak Turbo Morph G Bike Pump
- Centerline Mount Bracket
2. Attaching the Mount Bracket (Optional)
If you wish to mount the pump to your bicycle frame, use the included centerline mount bracket. Secure the bracket to your frame's water bottle bosses using appropriate screws (not included, typically provided with bike frame).
3. Preparing the Pump for Use
- Extend the Flexible Hose: Pull the flexible hose from the pump body. This hose provides a secure connection to the valve and reduces stress on the valve stem during pumping.
- Deploy the Footpeg: Fold out the integrated footpeg located at the base of the pump. This footpeg allows you to stabilize the pump with your foot, mimicking a floor pump for easier and more efficient inflation.
- Flip Down the Digital Gauge: The digital gauge is located at the top of the pump. Flip it down into position for easy viewing during inflation.

Operating Instructions
1. Valve Compatibility
The pump head is designed to be compatible with Presta, Schrader, and Dunlop valves without requiring any manual adapter changes. Simply push the pump head onto the valve stem.
2. Attaching to the Valve
- Ensure the valve stem is clean and free of debris.
- For Presta valves, unscrew the valve core locknut counter-clockwise until it is loose.
- Firmly push the pump head straight onto the valve stem until it is fully seated.
- Flip the lever on the pump head to the locked position to secure it to the valve.
3. Inflating the Tire
- Place your foot on the fold-out footpeg to stabilize the pump.
- Hold the pump handle firmly with both hands.
- Begin pumping by pushing the handle down and pulling it up in a smooth, consistent motion.
- Monitor the digital gauge for real-time pressure readings.

4. Detaching from the Valve
- Once the desired pressure is reached, flip the lever on the pump head to the unlocked position.
- Carefully and quickly pull the pump head straight off the valve stem.
- For Presta valves, tighten the valve core locknut clockwise.
- Fold the footpeg back into the pump body and secure the flexible hose.

Maintenance
Regular maintenance ensures the longevity and optimal performance of your Topeak Turbo Morph G Bike Pump.
- Cleaning: Wipe the pump body and hose with a damp cloth after use to remove dirt and grime. Avoid using harsh chemicals.
- Lubrication: Periodically apply a small amount of silicone-based lubricant to the pump's piston shaft to maintain smooth operation. Do not use petroleum-based lubricants as they can damage seals.
- Check Seals: Inspect the rubber seals within the pump head for wear or damage. Worn seals can lead to air leaks and reduced pumping efficiency. Replace if necessary.
- Storage: Store the pump in a dry, cool place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. Ensure the hose and footpeg are properly stowed to prevent damage.
Troubleshooting
If you encounter issues with your pump, refer to the following common problems and solutions:
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Pump not inflating tire | Pump head not securely attached to valve; Worn or damaged pump head seals; Valve core loose or damaged. | Ensure pump head lever is locked; Inspect and replace seals if necessary; Tighten or replace valve core. |
| Air leaking from pump head | Improper valve connection; Worn pump head seals. | Re-attach pump head firmly; Inspect and replace seals. |
| Inaccurate digital gauge reading | Low battery; Gauge malfunction. | Check or replace gauge battery; If issue persists, contact support. |
| Difficulty pumping | Lack of lubrication on piston; Internal debris. | Lubricate piston shaft with silicone oil; Inspect for internal obstructions. |
