Operating Instructions
Follow these steps for effective inflation:
- Prepare Item for Inflation: Ensure the item to be inflated is clean and free of debris around the valve area. Open the valve cap if present.
- Insert Nozzle: Insert the attached nozzle firmly into the valve of the item. Ensure a snug fit to minimize air loss.
- Start Inflation: Press and hold the trigger to begin inflation. The tool will start moving air at a high volume. For continuous operation, some models may feature a lock-on button; refer to your specific model's controls.
- Monitor Inflation: Continuously monitor the inflation process to prevent over-inflation, which can damage the item. Stop inflation once the desired firmness is achieved.
- Stop Inflation: Release the trigger to stop the airflow. Carefully remove the nozzle from the item's valve and replace the valve cap if applicable.
