7.1 General
1. Check the main power cord and plug for abrasions or excess wear.
2. Check the mattress cover for signs of wear or damage.
3. Disconnect the air tube from the mattress. Then check the airflow coming from the two air outlets
on the pump. They should be alternately delivering air when the pump is set at "alternate" mode.
4. Check the air hoses for kinks or breaks. For replacement, please contact your local distributor.
