Setup

1. Position the Inflator: Place the VIAIR 00089 on a stable, flat surface near the tire to be inflated. Ensure the unit's base is clear of debris.
2. Connect to Power:
   • Open your vehicle's hood to access the battery.
   • Connect the red battery clamp to the positive (+) terminal of your vehicle's 12-volt battery.
   • Connect the black battery clamp to the negative (-) terminal of your vehicle's 12-volt battery.
   • Ensure connections are secure.
3. Attach Air Hose:
   • Remove the protective cap from the inflator's air outlet.
   • Connect the extended air hose to the inflator's air outlet using the quick-release mechanism. Pull back on the collar, push the hose fitting onto the outlet, and release the collar to secure.
   • Attach the brass air chuck at the end of the hose to the tire's valve stem. Screw it on tightly to prevent air leakage.

Operating Instructions

1. Check Current Tire Pressure: Use the integrated 120-psi pressure gauge or a separate tire gauge to check the current tire pressure. Note the recommended pressure for your Class B Motorhome tires (typically found on a sticker inside the driver's side door or in the vehicle manual).
2. Inflate Tire:
   • Turn the inflator's power switch to the "ON" position. The LED work light will illuminate.
   • Monitor the pressure gauge as the tire inflates.
   • Once the desired pressure is reached, turn the inflator's power switch to the "OFF" position.
   • Disconnect the air chuck from the tire valve stem.
3. Airing Down (Optional): For off-road conditions, you may choose to "air down" your tires for increased traction and a smoother ride.
   • Specialized brass tire deflators (not included) can be screwed onto the valve stem to quickly release air to a preset pressure.
   • Always consult your vehicle manufacturer's recommendations or off-roading guides for appropriate aired-down pressures.
   • After airing down, remember to reinflate your tires to the recommended on-road pressure before returning to paved surfaces.

Maintenance

• Keep Clean: Regularly inspect the inflator for dirt and debris, especially around the air intake. Keep the base clean to prevent foreign objects from entering the unit.
• Air Filter: The inflator is equipped with an air filter. Check it periodically and replace if dirty to ensure optimal performance and longevity.
• Storage: After use, disconnect all components and store them neatly in the provided carrying bag. Ensure the air hose is coiled properly to prevent damage.

Troubleshooting

• No Power: Ensure battery clamps are securely connected to the correct terminals (+ to red, - to black). Check your vehicle's battery for sufficient charge.
• Slow Inflation: Verify that the air chuck is tightly screwed onto the tire valve stem to prevent air leaks. Ensure the air hose connections are secure.
• Overheating: If the unit becomes excessively hot during prolonged use, turn it off and allow it to cool down before resuming operation. Adhere to the recommended duty cycle.
