Rechargeable Ni-Cd Pump General CareIMPORTANT: 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, charge pump for 12 hours at a time. In an emergency, a 2-3 hour charge will provide one inflation. Charging your pump for periods longer or shorter than 12 hours will substantially decrease the life of your battery.
To charge your pump:
1. Remove the tiny rubber plug from hole on the back of the pump. 2. Insert the charger's mini-plug in hole on pump. 3. Plug charger unit into any standard 220 V electrical outlet and let it charge for no more than 12 hours after initial 24 hour charge. To discharge your pump:
1. Open the Air Release Valve on your Aero product. 2. Remove the protective cap from the valve by turning counter-clockwise. 3. Open the protective rubber cap on the pump. 4. While supporting the open Air Release Valve cover with one hand, press the mouth of the pump into position on the valve and turn clockwise until pump turns on and locks in to place. 5. Let pump run until completely discharged.
