Operating Instructions
Tire Inflation:

- Connect Nozzle: Securely attach the air hose nozzle to the tire valve stem. Ensure a tight seal to prevent air leakage.
- Start Compressor: Flip the On/Off power switch on the compressor to the "On" position. The compressor will begin to inflate.
- Monitor Pressure: Observe the pressure gauge on the compressor. Inflate the tire to the recommended pressure specified by your vehicle manufacturer (usually found on a sticker inside the driver's side door jamb or in the owner's manual).
- Stop Compressor: Once the desired pressure is reached, flip the power switch to the "Off" position.
- Disconnect: Carefully detach the air hose nozzle from the tire valve stem and replace the valve cap.
- Disconnect Power: Disconnect the battery clamps from your vehicle's battery.
Inflating Other Items:
For inflating sports balls, inflatable toys, or other items, select the appropriate nozzle adapter and attach it to the air hose. Follow steps 2-6 above, adjusting the target pressure as needed for the specific item.
Maintenance
Regular maintenance ensures the longevity and optimal performance of your compressor:
- Cleaning: Wipe down the compressor with a dry or slightly damp cloth after each use. Do not use harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
- Storage: Store the compressor and all accessories in the provided storage bag in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures.

|---|---|---|
| Compressor does not turn on. | No power connection; Blown fuse in vehicle; Faulty power switch. | Check battery clamp connections; Check vehicle's fuse box; Contact customer support. |
| Compressor runs but no air inflates. | Air hose not securely attached; Leak in hose or nozzle; Obstructed air outlet. | Ensure tight connections; Inspect hose/nozzle for damage; Check for blockages. |
| Compressor overheats and shuts off. | Prolonged continuous use. | Allow compressor to cool down for 10-15 minutes before resuming use. |
