3. Setup
- Prepare the Vehicle: Park your vehicle on a level surface and ensure the engine is running to provide sufficient power to the inflator. This is crucial for optimal performance.
- Connect to Power: Unwind the integrated 3.5m power cable and plug the 12V DC power plug into your vehicle's 12V socket (cigarette lighter). Ensure a secure connection.
- Access Tire Valve: Remove the valve cap from the tire you wish to inflate. Store the cap in the dedicated storage compartment on the inflator to prevent loss.
- Attach Air Hose: Screw the premium brass screw stem valve connector of the 70cm flexible air hose onto the tire valve. Ensure it is tightly secured to prevent air leakage.

4. Operating Instructions
- Power On: Press the large on/off button to activate the inflator. The digital display will illuminate.
- Read Current Pressure: The large digital screen will display the current tire pressure in your chosen unit (bar, kPA, or PSI).
- Set Target Pressure: Use the quick set dial to adjust the desired target pressure. The display will show both the current and target pressure.
- Start Inflation: Once the target pressure is set, press the start button (usually the same as the on/off button or a dedicated start button, refer to device markings). The pump will begin inflating the tire.
- Auto-Stop Function: The inflator features an auto-stop function. It will automatically cease inflation once the target pressure is reached, ensuring accurate and safe inflation.
- Deflation: If the tire is over-inflated, use the integrated tire deflation valve to release unwanted pressure until the correct level is achieved.
- Using the LED Light: Press the dedicated light button to activate the bright directional white LED light for illumination in low-light conditions.
- Multi-Purpose Use: For inflating items other than car tires (e.g., bicycle tires, sports balls, air mattresses), attach the appropriate adapter from the three-piece kit to the air hose before connecting to the item.

Important Operating Notes:
- Always ensure the vehicle's engine is running when operating the inflator to prevent draining the car battery.
- Do not operate the inflator for more than 15 minutes continuously. Allow at least 15 minutes of rest time between extended uses to prevent overheating.
- Fully extend the power cable during use to prevent excessive heat buildup in coiled sections.
5. Maintenance
- Cleaning: Wipe the exterior of the inflator with a soft, damp cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or immerse the device in water.
- Storage: After use, allow the device to cool down. Wind the power cable neatly using the integrated winding mechanism. Store the air hose and adapter kit in their designated compartments. Place the inflator and accessories in the provided storage case to protect it from dust and damage.
- Fuse Replacement: If the inflator fails to power on, check the 12V power plug for a blown fuse. Replace it with the provided spare 15-amp fuse if necessary.
