• Storage: When not in use, store the bag in a clean, dry location. Ensure the bag is completely empty and dry before long-term storage to prevent mould or material degradation.

• Safety Check: Periodically inspect all straps and mounting points for signs of wear to ensure the pump remains securely fastened during active use.
