7. Troubleshooting

ProblemPossible CauseSolution
Air leakage from connectionsLoose 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 readingsGauge 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 tireAir 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.
