2. Selecting Inflation Mode
The device offers five intelligent preset modes for common inflation tasks:
- Ball Mode: For various sports balls (e.g., basketball, soccer).

- SUV Mode: For larger vehicle tires.
Select the appropriate mode by tapping the corresponding icon on the touchscreen. The device will automatically set a recommended pressure for that mode.
3. Setting Custom Pressure
If you need a specific pressure not covered by the presets, use the '+' and '-' buttons on the touchscreen to manually adjust the target pressure. The display will show the real-time pressure as it inflates.
4. Starting and Stopping Inflation
Once the desired pressure is set (either via preset or custom adjustment), press the play/start button to begin inflation. The compressor will automatically shut off once the target pressure is reached, preventing over-inflation.
