Section 1
Important Safety Information
Read first. The LIFEBUS CM06 is intended for general comfort, cold application and recovery support. It is not a medical device and does not diagnose, treat or cure any condition. If you are recovering from surgery or injury, follow the instructions of your healthcare provider — including how long and how often to apply cold.
General precautions
Always place a thin cloth or the provided sleeve between the cold pad and bare skin if you experience discomfort. Never apply intense cold directly to broken or irritated skin.
Do not use while sleeping unless intermittent timer cycles are set as directed by your healthcare provider.
Check your skin every 20–30 minutes. Stop immediately if you notice numbness, blistering, excessive redness or pain.
Not recommended for persons with circulatory disorders, diabetes, cold hypersensitivity (e.g. Raynaud's), or reduced skin sensation, unless approved by a physician.
Keep out of reach of children. This product is intended for adult use.
Electrical safety
Use only the power adapter supplied in the box.
Keep the pump unit, plug and adapter dry at all times. Never submerge the lid/pump assembly in water.
Unplug the machine before filling, emptying or cleaning the reservoir.
Do not operate with a damaged cord, plug or housing. Contact support for replacement parts.
Water & ice safety
Use clean tap water with sealed frozen water bottles (recommended) or ice cubes. Do not add salt, alcohol or other additives.
Do not overfill — keep the water level between the MIN and MAX marks inside the reservoir.
Always operate the machine on a flat, level, water-resistant surface at or below the height of the treated limb.

Machine overview
Control panel — power, timer-on (10–180 min), timer-off (10–60 min) and 4 flow speeds.
Quick-connect ports — push the hose couplings in until they click; press the release collar to detach. Couplings self-seal, so the pad can be disconnected without draining.
Reservoir lid — twist to open for filling. Houses the ultra-quiet pump.
Carry handle — the filled unit is designed to be moved; keep it level while carrying.

Section 3
First-Time Setup
Freeze bottles in advance
Freeze 4–6 small sealed water bottles (or prepare a good amount of ice cubes). Bottles are recommended: they last longer, and no melted ice dilutes into the pad circuit.
Fill the reservoir
Open the lid, place the frozen bottles inside, then add cold tap water between the MIN and MAX marks. Close the lid firmly.
Connect the hose
Push each hose coupling into the reservoir port and the pad port until you hear a click. Give a gentle tug to confirm both ends are locked.
Wrap the pad
Position the pad over the target area and secure the straps — snug, but never tight enough to restrict circulation. See the wrapping guide below.
Power on and prime
Plug in the adapter and press power. Run the pump on the Max flow speed for 1–2 minutes to fill the pad and purge air; you'll feel it turn evenly cold.
Set your timer
Choose timer-on / timer-off cycles and a comfortable flow speed. The machine then cycles automatically. See Section 4.
Wrapping the cold pad correctly
Knee — center the pad over the kneecap with the hose pointing up or to the side; wrap the straps above and below the knee.
Leg / calf / thigh — align the pad along the muscle and overlap the straps evenly so the pad sits flat with no kinks.
Arm / elbow / hand — fold the pad as needed to follow the joint; keep the hose supported so its weight doesn't pull the pad off-center.
Two-finger rule: you should be able to slide two fingers under any strap. If your fingertips tingle or the limb changes color, loosen immediately.
Keep the machine level with or below the pad for the strongest, quietest flow, and keep the hose free of sharp bends.

During a session
The pad should feel distinctly cold within 2–3 minutes of the pump starting.
Cooling gradually softens as the ice melts — this is normal. Top up with fresh frozen bottles for long sessions.
Condensation on the hose or pad in humid rooms is normal; place a towel underneath if needed.

Section 5
Cleaning, Care & Storage
After each use
Switch off and unplug the machine.
Disconnect the pad (couplings self-seal — no need to drain for short breaks between daily sessions).
Wipe the pad surface and hose dry with a clean towel.
Weekly (or before a pause of 3+ days)
Drain everything
Empty the reservoir. Hold the pad and hose above the tank and let them drain back through the open couplings.
Rinse the circuit
Refill with 2–3 quarts of clean water, run the pump for 2 minutes, then drain again. For deep cleaning, use a mild solution of water with a small amount of white vinegar, then rinse with clean water.
Wipe and dry
Wipe the reservoir interior and lid with a soft cloth. Leave the lid open until the tank is fully dry inside.
Storage
Store fully drained and dry, with the lid loosely closed, in a cool indoor space away from direct sunlight.
Coil the hose loosely — never fold it sharply.
Store the pad flat or loosely rolled; do not place heavy objects on it.
Never put the pad, hose or lid/pump assembly in a washing machine, dishwasher or freezer, and never use bleach or solvent cleaners.

Troubleshooting
Problem
Likely cause & what to do
Pump runs but the pad doesn't get cold
Air lock in the circuit — run Max flow for 2 minutes with the machine below the pad. Check both couplings are clicked in fully. Confirm there is enough ice and the water level is between MIN and MAX.
Pad is cold at first, then warms quickly
Ice has melted or too little was used. Refresh with 4–6 fully frozen bottles; pre-chill the water. Avoid running long sessions on Max in a warm room.
No power / pump does not start
Confirm the adapter is fully seated at both the wall and the machine. Try another outlet. If it still won't start, stop using it and contact support.
Water leaks at the hose
A coupling isn't fully locked — detach and reconnect until it clicks. Check the O-rings for debris. Keep the hose free of sharp bends.
Water leaks from the pad
Stop use. Inspect the pad for punctures. A damaged pad must be replaced — contact support for a replacement pad.
Pump is louder than usual
Usually a low water level or the tank sitting unevenly. Top up water, set the machine on a flat surface, and purge air on Max flow.
Flow feels weak
Raise the flow speed, shorten/straighten the hose path, and keep the reservoir level with or below the pad.
Condensation / "sweating" on hose or pad
Normal in humid environments. Place a towel between the pad and bedding.
