Counterfeit chargers are readily available
from sites such as Amazon and eBay and
can damage your pump, as well as being
a fire risk!
Do not operate the unit while it is
connected to a charger. Doing so can
damage the battery! Always disconnect
the USB charge cable before use.
When charging, never leave Fumpa
unattended.
The ON/OFF button will glow red, even if
the battery is fully charged.
The unit may get warm during charging,
which is acceptable.
Turning on the unit
Sliding the ON/OFF switch to the right will turn Fumpa
on. The display will initially display "BAt", followed by
the charge of the internal battery (from 0-100). The
display will then show the pressure of the object that
it is connected to.
Do not repeatedly turn the unit on and
off! This can cause failure to the internal
circuitry.
Changing pressure units
When the unit is first turned on, the pressure is
displayed in psi. A quick press of the START/STOP
button will toggle the units to kPa. The display will
indicate this change by flashing indicator lights
towards the kPa marking to the right of the display:
Another quick press of the START/STOP button will
toggle the display to read pressure in Bar units. Finally,
another quick press of the START/STOP button will
toggle the display back to psi units.
Connecting the unit to a tyre
The Fumpa has been designed so that the Nozzle can
be easily connected to a tyre for inflation. Both the
Fumpa's Hose and Nozzle can be rotated about the
elbow connectors as shown in Figure 2.
The Nozzle accepts both Presta and Schrader valves
(Figure 3). Unscrew the end of the Nozzle and orient
the Insert and Seal (located inside the Nozzle) in the
directions shown in Figure 4 so that the Nozzle
correctly engages a Presta or Schrader valve.
Initially, the user may find that the Seal
feels tight around the valve. Over time, the
Seal will soften.
The Nozzle is designed to be held onto the
valve during tyre inflation.
Inflating a tyre
With Fumpa turned ON and the Nozzle engaged onto
a tyre, pump tyres by pressing and holding down
the START/STOP button. The pressure inside the tyre
is read via the display. Release the START/STOP
button to stop pumping. The display will then flash
four times after the unit has stopped pumping.
The maximum pressure a tyre can be
inflated to is 120 psi (~830 kPa or ~8.3
Bar). At this pressure, Fumpa will stop
pumping.
Fumpa is fitted with an internal temperature sensor.
When a critical temperature is reached, the Fumpa will
shut down the compressor and the display will flash
repeatedly. The user will not be able to start pumping
tyres again until Fumpa cools down.
During use Fumpa will become warm to
touch. This is normal.
The temperature sensor will limit the number of tyres
that can be inflated before the unit requires time to
cool down.
