6. Operating Instructions
6.1. Inflating Tires
- Connect to Power: Ensure the compressor is plugged into the 12V cigarette lighter socket and the vehicle engine is running.
- Select Unit: Press the 'M' button (Pressure Unit Switch) to cycle through the desired pressure units: PSI, BAR, KPA, or KG/CM².
- Set Target Pressure: Use the '+' and '-' buttons to set your desired target pressure. The digital display will show the set value.
- Attach Nozzle: Screw the air hose nozzle onto the tire valve stem. Ensure a tight connection to prevent air leakage. For Schrader valves, simply press the buckle to fix it.
- Start Inflation: Press the Power Switch Button to begin inflation. The compressor will start operating, and the digital display will show the increasing pressure.
- Automatic Shut-Off: The compressor will automatically stop once the preset target pressure is reached.
- Disconnect: Unscrew the nozzle from the tire valve and unplug the compressor from the power source.

6.3. Changing Pressure Units
The digital display allows you to view pressure in four different units:
- PSI (Pounds per Square Inch)
- KPA (Kilopascals)
- BAR
- KG/CM² (Kilograms per Square Centimeter)
To switch between these units, simply press the 'M' button (Pressure Unit Switch) located below the digital display until your desired unit is shown.

8. Troubleshooting
If you encounter issues with your Oasser P6, refer to the following common problems and solutions:
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Compressor does not turn on. | No power from 12V socket; loose connection; vehicle engine not running; blown fuse in vehicle or compressor plug. | Ensure 12V plug is fully inserted. Start vehicle engine. Check vehicle's cigarette lighter fuse. Inspect compressor plug for internal fuse (if applicable). |
| Slow inflation or no inflation. | Air hose not securely connected; tire valve stem damaged; target pressure set too low or too high; unit overheating. | Ensure hose is tightly screwed onto valve. Check tire valve for damage. Verify target pressure setting. Allow unit to cool down if it has been running for a long time. |
| Inaccurate pressure reading. | Loose connection to tire valve; internal sensor issue. | Ensure a tight seal when connecting to the tire valve. Compare reading with a separate, calibrated tire pressure gauge. |
| Compressor stops unexpectedly. | Automatic shut-off reached preset pressure; unit overheated; power interruption. | Check if target pressure was reached. Allow unit to cool down. Verify stable power connection. |
