• Familiarize yourself with the pump and how to operate it, know where the quick release valve is. This is the black stem forward of the hand trigger.

• DO NOT EJACULATE for several hours prior to or during a session. This allows maximum expansion without swelling the penis.

• Trim or shave your pubic hair at the base of your penis several hours prior to use.

• Warm your body, penis and scrotum. This will relax the tissue and draw blood into the vessels. A warm bath, shower, sauna or jacuzzi is recommended. You may also use a heating pad.

• Massage and gently stretch the penis and scrotum for 3 to 5 minutes prior to using the hand pump.

• Generously lubricate the head, shaft and base of the penis. For a secure seal, apply a lubricant directly on the pubic hair. Always use a WATER-BASED lubricant for ease of cleanup. If you find that you are not achieving a proper seal, apply petroleum jelly only around the rim of the cylinder.

• You must be at your maximum erect state to begin using the system. Having a visual stimulant handy or a creative imagination is helpful.
