3. Access Air Hose: Pull out the air hose from its storage slot on the side of the inflator.
4. Select Adapter (if needed): For items other than standard car tires (e.g., sports balls, rafts), select the appropriate adapter from the accessory compartment and attach it to the end of the air hose.

5. Operating Instructions

1. Connect to Power: Plug the 12V power cord into your vehicle's 12-volt accessory outlet. Ensure your vehicle's engine is running to provide adequate power.
2. Attach to Valve: For car tires, firmly screw the air hose connector onto the tire's valve stem until secure. For other inflatables, attach the selected adapter and then connect to the item's valve.
3. Turn On: Flip the ON/OFF switch located on the top of the inflator to the 'ON' position. The inflator will begin operating, and the LED light will illuminate.
4. Monitor Pressure: Observe the analog dial gauge to monitor the air pressure as the item inflates. Refer to your vehicle's owner's manual or the item's specifications for the recommended PSI.
5. Turn Off: Once the desired pressure is reached, immediately flip the ON/OFF switch to the 'OFF' position.
6. Disconnect: Carefully unscrew the air hose connector from the valve stem. A small amount of air may escape, which is normal.

Usage Tips:

• The bright LED work light is useful for inflating tires in dark conditions or at night.
• The compact design allows the inflator to be placed on the ground next to the tire during operation.

6. Maintenance

• After each use, ensure the power cord and air hose are neatly wrapped and stored in their designated compartments to prevent damage.
• Keep the unit clean and free from dirt, dust, and moisture. Wipe with a damp cloth if necessary.
• Store the inflator in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures.

7. Troubleshooting

• Inflator does not turn on: Ensure the 12V power plug is fully inserted into the vehicle's accessory outlet and the vehicle's engine is running. Check the vehicle's fuse for the accessory outlet.
• Inflator is running but not inflating: Verify that the air hose connector is securely attached to the valve stem and that the valve stem is not obstructed. Check for any kinks or blockages in the air hose.
• Inaccurate pressure reading: Ensure the air hose is properly connected to the valve stem. If the gauge consistently reads inaccurately, consider using a separate, calibrated tire pressure gauge for verification.
• Unit overheats: If the inflator becomes excessively hot, turn it off immediately and allow it to cool down for at least 10-15 minutes before resuming operation. Avoid continuous use for prolonged periods.
