RECHARGEABLE Ni-Cd PUMP and CHARGER

IMPORTANT: PUMP MUST BE CHARGED FOR 24 HOURS PRIOR TO THE FIRST

INFLATION. Use the AC adapter to charge your new aero pump for 24 hours. For
maximum performance, be sure to fully discharge pump before recharging. After
initial charge and use, charge pump for 12 HOURS at a time. Charging your pump
for periods shorter or longer than 12 hours will substantially decrease the life of your
Ni-Cd pump. In an emergency, a 3 hour charge will provide one inflation, however,
continued charging for 3 hour periods will substantially decrease the life of your
Ni-Cd pump.

IMPORTANT: ALWAYS store pump and charger in a cool, dry place. DO NOTallow
pump or charger to get wet. Allowing pump and/or charger to get wet will void your
warranty.

To Charge/Recharge:

a) First, remove pump and charger from box.
b) Second, remove tiny rubber plug from hole on the back of the

pump.
c) Insert the charger’s mini-plug in the hole.
d) Third, plug the charger unit into any standard 110 V (or 220 V

depending on your local service) electrical outlet and let it

charge for 12 hours (24 hours on initial charge).
NOTE: For best pump performance, you must completely drain the charge from your

pump prior to recharging. For directions, see discharge section below.

Prior To Inflation:

a) Unplug the pump after it has been charged for 12 hours (24 hours on initial charge).
b) Remove charger unit from the electrical outlet and the mini-plug from the pump.
c) Re-insert the tiny rubber plug into the hole on the back of the pump.
NOTE: Pump will not run while charger is plugged into an electrical outlet.

To Discharge:

a) Place pump on valve as if to inflate product.
b) Allow pump to run until the pump motor dies down.
NOTE: When properly used, your pump will hold a full charge for approximately 90 days.

When storing pump for longer than 90 days, fully discharge and recharge pump
every 120 days. This will help maximize pump life.

IMPORTANT: PUMPCONTAINS NICKEL-CADMIUM BATTERIES.
BATTERIES MUST BE RECYCLED OR DISPOSED OF PROPERLY.
