Operating Instructions
Checking Tire Pressure
- Ensure the inflation gun is connected to a pressurized air source.
- Press the folding lever air chuck firmly onto the tire's valve stem. The gauge will immediately display the current tire pressure.
- Read the pressure indicated on the 2.5" mechanical gauge.
- If the pressure is too high, gently press the bleeder valve button to release air until the desired pressure is reached.

Inflating Tires
- Attach the folding lever air chuck to the tire's valve stem.
- Squeeze the inflation trigger on the gun to begin inflating the tire.
- Monitor the pressure gauge closely. Release the trigger when the desired pressure is reached.
- Remove the air chuck from the valve stem.
Maintenance
- After each use, wipe down the inflation gun and hoses with a clean, dry cloth to remove dirt and moisture.
- Store the kit in its provided carry bag in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures.
- Regularly inspect hoses for cracks, kinks, or damage. Replace if necessary to ensure optimal performance and safety.
- Check quick connect fittings for wear and ensure they seal properly. A small amount of silicone grease can be applied to O-rings if needed.
- Do not lubricate the gauge or internal mechanisms of the inflation gun unless specified by the manufacturer.

Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Air Leak at Connection | Loose fitting, worn O-ring, or damaged threads. | Tighten connections. Inspect and replace O-rings or fittings if damaged. |
| Gauge Not Reading Pressure | Air chuck not fully seated on valve stem, or gauge malfunction. | Ensure air chuck is firmly pressed onto valve stem. If problem persists, gauge may need replacement. |
| Slow Inflation | Insufficient air pressure from source, or partial blockage in hose. | Check air compressor pressure. Inspect hose for kinks or obstructions. |
| Air Chuck Does Not Seal | Worn rubber gasket inside chuck, or damaged valve stem. | Inspect and replace the rubber gasket if worn. Check tire valve stem for damage. |
