Maintenance

• Charging: To prolong battery life, charge the device regularly, even if not in frequent use. Avoid completely draining the battery before recharging.
• Storage: Store the inflator in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. Use the provided canvas storage bag to protect it from dust and scratches.
• Cleaning: Wipe the exterior of the inflator with a soft, damp cloth. Do not use harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners. Ensure the device is dry before storing.

Troubleshooting

• Device not turning on: Ensure the battery is charged. If using the 12V DC cable, check the car's cigarette lighter socket for power.
• Inflation is slow or not working: Check that the air hose is securely connected to both the inflator and the item's valve stem. Ensure the correct adapter is used and properly sealed. Verify the target pressure is set correctly.
• Inaccurate pressure reading: Ensure the hose is fully screwed onto the valve stem. Slight variations may occur, but significant discrepancies might indicate a loose connection.
• Overheating: The device has efficient heat dissipation, but continuous long-duration use may cause it to warm up. Allow it to cool down if it feels excessively hot.
