6. Solució De Problemes

• Difficulty Pumping / No Air Flow:
  • Ensure the pump head is securely attached to the valve and the Top Lock XL lever is fully engaged.
  • Check if the valve core (especially Presta) is fully unscrewed before attaching the pump.
  • Inspect the pump head's internal components for correct orientation and wear.
• Inaccurate Gauge Reading:
  • Ensure the pump head is properly sealed to the valve. A poor seal can lead to inaccurate readings.
  • Verify that the gauge needle returns to zero when not in use. If not, the gauge may require service.
