1. Introduction
The JACO SmartPro 12V Tire Inflator Air Compressor is a portable, automatic digital tire pump designed for convenient tire maintenance and emergency inflation. This device allows you to pre-set the desired tire pressure, and it will automatically shut off once that pressure is reached. It is suitable for various applications, including car, truck, and motorcycle tires up to 45 PSI, and bike tires up to 100 PSI.

3. Setup
- Connect to Power Source: Plug the 10 ft. power cord into your vehicle's 12V DC outlet. Ensure the vehicle's engine is running to provide stable power.
- Attach Air Hose: The 24-inch woven air hose features a durable brass screw-on nozzle. Thread this connector securely onto the tire valve stem. This creates an airtight seal for accurate inflation.
