1. Introduction
This manual provides detailed instructions for the safe and effective use of your Spurtar 10-120 PSI Heavy Duty Tire Pressure Gauge with Inflator Air Chuck. This device is designed for accurate tire pressure measurement and efficient inflation across various vehicles, including cars, trucks, motorcycles, and bicycles. Please read this manual thoroughly before operation.
2. Safety Information
- Always wear appropriate eye protection when operating air tools.
- Ensure the air compressor is turned off and depressurized before connecting or disconnecting the inflator.
- Do not exceed the maximum recommended tire pressure for your vehicle. Refer to your vehicle's owner's manual or tire placard for correct pressure values.
- Keep hands and body clear of moving parts and pressurized air streams.
- Store the inflator in a clean, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures.
3. Package Contents
Verify that all items listed below are included in your package:
- 1x Spurtar Tire Pressure Gauge with Inflator Air Chuck
- 1x Rubber Hose (13 3/8 inches / 34cm)
- 1x Chrome Plated Iron Stem (5 11/16 inches / 14.5cm) with Dual Head Push-Pull Chucks

4. Setup
4.1 Connecting to an Air Compressor
- Ensure your air compressor is off and depressurized.
- Apply the provided thread seal tape (PTFE tape) around the threads of the 1/4" NPT air inlet connector on the inflator. Wrap the tape in the direction of the thread spiral (usually clockwise) for a good seal.
- Securely attach the inflator's 1/4" NPT air inlet to your air compressor's hose or quick-connect fitting. Use appropriate tools to tighten the connection, ensuring no air leakage.

5. Operating Instructions
5.1 Checking Tire Pressure
- Remove the valve cap from the tire valve stem.
- Firmly press the inflator's chuck onto the tire valve stem. Ensure a tight seal to prevent air leakage.
- The bayonet-style pressure gauge will immediately display the current tire pressure.
- Compare the reading to your vehicle's recommended tire pressure.


5.2 Inflating Tires
- With the chuck firmly attached to the tire valve stem, press down the thumb trigger on the inflator. Air will begin to flow into the tire.
- Monitor the pressure gauge as you inflate.
- Release the trigger once the desired pressure is reached.

5.3 Deflating Tires (if over-inflated)
- If the tire is over-inflated, press the small air bleeder valve button located near the trigger.
- Air will be released from the tire. Monitor the pressure gauge until the desired pressure is achieved.
6. Maintenance
- Regularly inspect the hose and connections for any signs of wear, cracks, or damage. Replace components as needed.
- Keep the inflator clean and free of dirt, dust, and debris. Wipe with a dry cloth after each use.
- Ensure the valve core tool and spare valve cores are stored securely.
- Do not lubricate the gauge mechanism.
7. Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Air leakage from connections | Loose fittings, insufficient thread seal tape, damaged O-rings. | Tighten all connections. Reapply thread seal tape if necessary. Inspect and replace O-rings if damaged. |
| Inaccurate pressure readings | Gauge malfunction, debris in the valve stem, extreme temperatures. | Ensure the chuck is fully seated on the valve stem. Check against another known accurate gauge. Allow the unit to acclimate to ambient temperature. |
| Air not flowing into tire | Air compressor off, low compressor pressure, clogged chuck, faulty valve stem. | Verify air compressor operation and pressure. Check for obstructions in the chuck. Inspect tire valve stem for damage. |
