Troubleshooting

Pump not inflating effectively

Ensure the pump head is securely attached to the valve. Check that the 2-stage gasket is seated correctly and not damaged. Inspect the check valve for debris.

Pump is loose on the frame

Verify that you have selected the correct pump size for your frame's tube diameter. Ensure mounting hardware is tightened properly. Consider using frame protection tape under the pump if needed.

Air is leaking from the pump head

Paint scratching from pump mount

Ensure the silicone bumpers are correctly positioned and intact. Clean the frame and pump contact points regularly. Use frame protection tape if necessary.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: The Impero Ultimate II is designed to mount to your bike's frame, typically using the existing water bottle bosses or integrated mounts. Ensure you select the correct pump size (SMALL, MEDIUM, LARGE, X-LARGE) that corresponds to your frame's tube diameter for a secure and rattle-free fit. The pump should fit snugly between 25-60mm tube sizes.

Compatibility: This pump is compatible with standard Presta and Schrader valves (adapter may be required depending on the specific pump head design, though typically integrated). It is designed to fit most road bike frames.

Care: Clean the pump body with a damp cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners. The leather gasket may benefit from occasional conditioning with a leather treatment product to maintain its flexibility and sealing performance. Store the pump in a dry place when not in use.
