Troubleshooting
Pad feels stiff or less effective initially.
New crash pads may require a break-in period. Use the pad for several sessions to allow the foam to become more pliable.
Carrying straps feel uncomfortable with weight.
Adjust the shoulder straps and hip belt evenly to distribute the weight. Ensure the pad is folded compactly.
Nylon top surface showing signs of wear.
This is normal with repeated use. Brush off debris regularly and avoid dragging the pad unnecessarily over rough surfaces.
Pad does not lay completely flat.
Ensure the pad is unfolded fully and has been used a few times to break in the folds. Heavy items can be placed on top overnight to help flatten it.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
Unfold the Circuit Z crash pad to its full dimensions (152 x 101 cm) for use. When placing it on the ground, ensure it covers the landing area below the boulder problem effectively. For maximum coverage, align the square corners of the Circuit Z with other crash pads.
Compatibility:
This pad is designed to be compatible with other crash pads, particularly those with square corners, to create a larger, unified landing surface. The integrated multi-pad transport system is intended to facilitate carrying multiple pads together.
Care:
- Cleaning: After use, brush off any dirt or debris. For tougher stains, wipe the surface with a damp cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals or solvents, as they can degrade the nylon coating and foam.
- Storage: Store the pad in a dry, cool place, away from direct sunlight when not in use. Ensure the pad is completely dry before storing to prevent mold or mildew.
- Maintenance: Periodically inspect the foam and fabric for any signs of significant wear or damage. Ensure the straps and buckles are secure.
