7. Otkrivanje problema

Uobičajeni problemi i njihova rješenja:

• Issue: Bag moves excessively or tips over during use.
  Solution: Ensure the base is completely filled with water or sand to its maximum capacity (approximately 130 lbs with water). Verify the fill cap is securely closed. Insufficient weight in the base is the primary cause of instability.
• Issue: Assembly bolts loosen during use.
  Solution: This is a common occurrence due to vibrations from striking. Regularly check and tighten all assembly bolts, especially those connecting the pole to the base and the spring mechanism, before each training session. For a more permanent solution, consider applying a thread-locking compound (e.g., Loctite, not provided) to the bolt threads, though this may make future disassembly more difficult.
• Issue: Bag swings too much after strikes.
  Solution: This is an intended feature of the Omniflex design, providing a reflex-like workout that challenges timing and footwork. It is normal for the bag to move dynamically. Adjust your striking technique to control the bag's rebound, or incorporate dodging and weaving into your routine to adapt to its movement.
