Start the Car: Turn on your vehicle's engine. This ensures sufficient power supply to the inflator and prevents draining your car battery.
Connect to Power: Insert the 12V DC power plug into your car's cigarette lighter socket. Ensure a firm connection.
Attach Air Hose: Connect the inflation port of the air hose to the tire valve core. Ensure a secure connection to prevent air leakage. For items other than standard car tires, attach the appropriate adapter first.
Operating Instructions
Follow these steps to inflate your tires or other items:
Image 4: A visual sequence demonstrating the inflation process: 1. Start the car, 2. Insert plug into cigarette lighter, 3. Insert inflation port into tire valve, 4. Use buttons to set pressure, 5. Turn ON to inflate (auto-stop), 6. Disconnect air hose and power plug.
Set Desired Pressure: With the inflator powered on and connected, the digital display will show the current pressure. Use the Decrease (-) or Increase (+) buttons to set your desired target pressure. Press the PSI / BAR / KPA Switch to cycle through pressure units if needed.
Start Inflation: Press the Start / Stop button to begin inflation. The inflator will automatically stop once the preset pressure value is reached.
Disconnect: Once inflation is complete and the device has stopped, disconnect the air hose nozzle from the tire valve and then pull out the power plug from the cigarette lighter socket.
Using the LED Light: Press the Light Switch to turn on the integrated LED light. This is useful for operating the inflator in dark environments or during nighttime emergencies.

Using Adapters for Multiple Functions
The Toolman Digital Tire Inflator comes with various adapters to inflate different items.
Image 6: Visual guide showing the standard tire valve connector and the additional adapters (plastic tapered nozzle, sports ball needle) for inflating different items like car tires, bicycle tires, pool toys, and sports balls.
- Car Tires: Use the standard tire valve connector directly.
- Bicycle Tires: Depending on the valve type (Presta or Schrader), you may use the standard connector or an appropriate adapter (not all bicycle valves are compatible with the standard connector; additional adapters may be required for Presta valves, which are not included).
- Inflatables (e.g., pool toys, air mattresses): Attach the plastic tapered nozzle to the air hose and insert it into the inflatable's valve.
- Sports Balls (e.g., basketballs, footballs): Attach the sports ball needle to the air hose and insert it into the ball's inflation port.
Note: Always ensure the correct adapter is securely attached before inflation.
Maintenance
- Cleaning: Wipe the exterior of the inflator with a soft, damp cloth. Do not use harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
- Storage: Store the inflator in its carry case in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures.
- Air Hose: Inspect the air hose regularly for cracks, kinks, or damage. Replace if necessary.
- Fuse Replacement: The inflator includes a spare fuse. If the device stops working, check the fuse in the cigarette lighter plug and replace it if blown. Refer to a qualified technician if unsure.
Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Inflator does not turn on. | No power from car socket; Blown fuse in plug; Car engine not running. | Ensure car engine is running. Check car's cigarette lighter socket for power. Replace fuse in the inflator's plug if blown. |
| Slow inflation or no inflation. | Air hose not securely connected; Leak in hose/valve; Item already at desired pressure. | Ensure all connections are tight. Check air hose and valve for leaks. Verify the target pressure setting. |
| Inflator stops before reaching target pressure. | Overheating; Internal fault. | Allow the inflator to cool down for 15-20 minutes. If problem persists, contact customer support. |
| Inaccurate pressure reading. | Sensor issue; Incorrect unit setting. | Ensure the correct pressure unit (PSI, BAR, KPA) is selected. Compare reading with a known accurate gauge if possible. |
