The Coleman Rechargeable QuickPump is a portable, battery-operated air pump designed to inflate and deflate various inflatable products, primarily those with Coleman Double-Lock™ and standard pinch valves. It is engineered to provide convenience and ease of use for outdoor enthusiasts, ensuring comfortable inflation of airbeds and other inflatables.

Function Description:

The primary function of the Coleman Rechargeable QuickPump is to quickly inflate and deflate inflatable items. It operates on a sealed, rechargeable lead-acid battery, making it cordless and portable. The pump is equipped with an adapter nozzle that can be attached to either the inflation or deflation end of the pump, allowing for versatile use. For inflation, the pump is inserted into the valve, and the unit is turned on. For deflation, the adapter nozzle is moved to the deflation side of the pump, and the process is reversed to quickly draw air out of the inflatable. The pump is specifically designed for Coleman Double-Lock™ valves, which require opening an external stopper and pulling to extend the valve for inflation, and then pushing in with the pump nozzle to seal it while gently twisting the adapter sleeve to the right when removing the pump. For standard pinch valves, a dedicated pinch valve adapter is attached to the inflation end of the pump, inserted into the valve, ensuring the tip extends past the inner "flap," and then the pump is turned on. The device is not compatible with stem valves or needle valves commonly found on bike tires or basketballs.

Important Technical Specifications:

Battery Type: Sealed, rechargeable lead-acid battery.
Charging Time: Requires 10 hours of initial charging before first use.
