Important Operating Notes:

• The maximum continuous run time for the inflator is 10 minutes. After 10 minutes of operation, allow the device to cool down for at least 10 minutes before resuming use. This prevents overheating and extends product life.
• For optimal performance and safety, always refer to your vehicle's owner's manual for recommended tyre pressure.

Maintenance

• Cleaning: Wipe the exterior of the inflator with a soft, damp cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or immerse the device in water.
• Storage: Store the inflator in its carrying case in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures.
• Fuse Replacement: The 12V cigarette lighter plug contains a replaceable fuse. If the inflator stops working, check and replace the fuse if necessary. A spare fuse is included in the package.

Troubleshooting

• Inflator does not turn on:
  • Ensure the 12V cigarette lighter plug is fully inserted into the vehicle's socket.
  • Check the vehicle's 12V accessory socket for power.
  • Inspect the fuse in the 12V plug and replace if blown.
• Inflator runs but does not inflate:
  • Ensure the air hose is securely screwed onto the tyre valve stem.
  • Check for any leaks in the air hose or connections.
• Inflator overheats and shuts off:
  • This is a safety feature. Allow the device to cool down for 10 minutes before resuming operation. Avoid continuous operation beyond 10 minutes.
