Fixit
Please note: All threads for all parts of the pump are right-hand threads. They tighten clockwise, and loosen
counterclockwise (“righty tighty, lefty loosey”). However, when you are looking top-town at a bolt that
threads from underneath, if you move it counter-clockwise from your point of view, you are actually
tightening, not loosening, the nut! This has led to some unnecessary breakage of pump parts. Be sure you
are looking at the nut with the proper orientation before tightening or loosening.
Changing the Pumphead
Remove the black heat-shrink
covering the base of the
pumphead. Unscrew the
pumphead from the
Brass fitting by turning
counterclockwise. You will
need to keep the brass fitting
for the new pumphead.
Replace the pumphead. If you
will be replacing the heat
shrink then put the heat-
shrink sleeve over the hose
before replacing pumphead.
Once pumphead is on, pull
heat-shrink sleeve over the
brass fitting and use a heat
gun to shrink it.

Removing the Airpump from the Fixit

2. Remove tamperproof nut on bottom of Fixit,
using the Tamperproof Penta Tool supplied
for this purpose.

remove the 1 3/16” nut on the bottom of the
sleeve (turning counter-clockwise). You can
now slide the pump out

Lubricating or Removing the Pumphead
Unscrew the cap on the top of the pump that the plunger goes through. This allows you to remove the
plunger, and to lubricate or replace the plunger gasket. Use silicone grease only to lubricate the plunger
gasket. Doing this every two months will help maintain a proper seal.
