2. Monitor Pressure: Observe the pressure gauge on the compressor. Inflate the item to the recommended pressure level. For vehicle tires, this information is typically found on a sticker inside the driver's side door jamb or in your vehicle's owner's manual.
3. Power Off: Once the desired pressure is reached, switch the compressor to the 'OFF' position.
4. Disconnect: Unscrew the air hose connector from the valve stem. Be aware that a small amount of air may escape during disconnection.
