5. Operating Instructions
This section details how to use your inflator attachment for various tasks.
Inflating Tires:
- Ensure the correct adapter is attached to the inflator hose. For car tires, the standard Schrader valve connector is typically used.

- Connect the adapter firmly to the tire valve stem.
- Press the trigger on the Multievo base unit to begin inflation.
- Monitor the pressure gauge on the inflator attachment. The gauge displays pressure in both Bar and PSI, allowing you to accurately inflate to the desired level.
- Release the trigger once the desired pressure is reached.
- Disconnect the adapter from the tire valve.
