Setup

1. Prepare the Vehicle: Ensure your vehicle is parked safely. For optimal performance and to prevent draining your car battery, it is recommended to start your car engine before operating the inflator.

Operating Instructions

1. Check Current Pressure: Once the air hose is connected, the analog pressure gauge will display the current tire pressure.

2. Start Inflation: Press the ON/OFF button on the inflator to begin inflation. The compressor will start pumping air.

3. Monitor Pressure: Continuously monitor the pressure gauge. When the desired pressure is reached, press the ON/OFF button again to stop the inflation.

4. Disconnect: Carefully disconnect the air hose from the tire valve. Some air may escape during disconnection, which is normal. Unplug the 12V DC power connector from your car's socket.

5. For Other Inflatables: Select the appropriate nozzle adapter from the included accessories. Attach it to the air hose, then connect to the inflatable item's valve. Follow steps 2-4 for inflation.

Important Notes on Tire Pressure:

• High Pressure: Over-inflation can cause stress in the middle of the tire, weaken grip, reduce brake performance, and increase the risk of explosion in high temperatures.
• Normal Pressure: Maintaining normal tire pressure ensures even wear, vehicle stability, and optimal fuel efficiency.
• Low Pressure: Under-inflation causes stress on both sides of the tire tread, leading to uneven wear, reduced lifespan, and increased fuel consumption.

Maintenance

• Cleaning: After use, wipe the inflator with a dry or slightly damp cloth. Do not use harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
• Storage: Store the air compressor and its accessories in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. Ensure the air hose and power cord are neatly stored to prevent damage.
• Inspection: Periodically inspect the power cord, air hose, and nozzles for any signs of wear or damage. Do not use the device if any components are damaged.

Troubleshooting

• Inflator does not turn on:
  • Ensure the 12V DC power plug is securely inserted into the car's cigarette lighter socket.
  • Check your car's fuse for the cigarette lighter socket. Replace if blown.
  • Ensure the car engine is running for sufficient power supply.
• Slow inflation or no air output:
  • Verify that the air hose nozzle is tightly connected to the tire valve and the buckle is secured.
  • Check the air hose for any kinks or blockages.
  • Ensure the correct nozzle adapter is used for the inflatable item.
• Inaccurate pressure reading:
  • Ensure the inflator is on a stable surface and the hose connection is secure.
  • Allow the inflator to cool down if it has been used continuously for an extended period.
