Maintenance and Care
Cleaning Instructions: Use a damp cloth and mild soap to wipe down the nylon boots and hip attachment. Ensure the integrated hosing and zippers are free of debris. Do not machine wash or submerge the control unit in water.
Battery Management: To preserve the lithium-ion battery life, avoid leaving the unit in extreme temperatures (such as a hot car) and charge fully between extended uses.
Hose Integrity: Ensure the integrated tubing is not kinked or pinched during storage, as this can impede airflow and pressure accuracy.
Zipper Care: Periodically check the zippers for smooth operation; avoid forcing them if material is caught to prevent tearing the nylon segments.
