3. Setup

The JACO ElitePro Tire Pressure Gauge requires no assembly or batteries. It is ready for immediate use upon unboxing.

Initial Check:

1. Inspect the gauge for any visible damage from shipping.
2. Ensure the dial reads '0' PSI before use. If not, press the bleeder valve button to reset the needle.

4. Operating Instructions

Follow these steps for accurate tire pressure measurement:

1. Remove Valve Cap: Unscrew the valve cap from the tire's valve stem.
2. Attach Gauge: Firmly press the chuck of the gauge onto the tire valve stem. You may hear a slight hiss of air; this is normal. Ensure a tight seal to prevent air leakage.
3. Read Pressure: The needle on the gauge will move to indicate the tire's current pressure. The reading will lock in place even after removing the gauge from the valve stem.
4. Adjust Pressure (if needed):
   • To Decrease Pressure: If the pressure is too high, press the built-in bleeder valve button located on the brass neck of the gauge. Hold it down until the desired pressure is reached. Re-check the pressure as needed.
   • To Increase Pressure: If the pressure is too low, use an air compressor to add air to the tire. Re-check the pressure with the gauge until the desired level is achieved.
5. Reset Gauge: After taking a reading, press the bleeder valve button to reset the needle to '0' PSI for the next measurement.
6. Replace Valve Cap: Screw the valve cap back onto the tire valve stem.

5. Maintenance

To ensure the longevity and accuracy of your JACO ElitePro Tire Pressure Gauge:

• Cleaning: Wipe the gauge with a soft, dry cloth after each use to remove dirt or moisture. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
• Storage: Store the gauge in a clean, dry place away from extreme temperatures and direct sunlight. The rubber protective guard helps protect against impacts.
• Calibration: While the gauge is factory calibrated to ANSI standards, professional recalibration may be considered periodically for critical applications.

6. Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues with your tire pressure gauge, consider the following:

• Inaccurate Readings:
  • Ensure the gauge is pressed firmly and squarely onto the valve stem to create a tight seal.
  • Check if the gauge needle resets to '0' PSI when the bleeder valve is pressed. If not, the mechanism might be stuck or damaged.
• Air Leakage During Use:
  • Verify the chuck is fully engaged with the valve stem.
  • Inspect the hose and connections for any visible cuts, cracks, or loose fittings.
• Needle Not Moving:
  • Ensure the tire has sufficient pressure for the gauge to register a reading.
  • Check for obstructions in the chuck or hose.
