- Start Inflation: Press the 'Start/Stop' button (power icon) to begin inflation. The display will show the real-time pressure.
- Automatic Shut-Off: The inflator will automatically stop once the preset pressure is reached, preventing overinflation.
- Disconnect: Once inflation is complete, disconnect the air hose from the tire valve and then unplug the 12V DC power cord from the car's socket.
- Using the LED Light: Press the 'Flashlight' button (light bulb icon) to turn on the integrated LED light for visibility in dark conditions. Press again to turn off.

Maintenance
Proper maintenance ensures the longevity and performance of your inflator:
- Cleaning: Wipe the exterior of the inflator with a soft, dry cloth. Do not use harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
- Storage: Store the inflator in its provided storage bag in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures.

- Inspect Hose: Regularly inspect the air hose for any signs of wear, cracks, or damage. Replace if compromised.
Troubleshooting
Refer to this section for common issues and their solutions:
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Inflator does not turn on. | No power from 12V DC outlet; blown fuse in plug or car. | Ensure car engine is running. Check connection to 12V DC outlet. Inspect and replace the fuse in the inflator's plug or your car's fuse box if necessary. |
| Inflates slowly or not at all. | Loose connection; blocked air hose; tire valve issue. | Ensure the air hose is securely screwed onto the tire valve. Check for kinks or blockages in the hose. Verify the tire valve is not damaged. |
| Unit gets very hot during use. | Normal operation during extended use; prolonged continuous operation. | This is normal for air compressors. If it becomes excessively hot, disconnect and allow it to cool down for 10-15 minutes before resuming. Avoid continuous operation for very long periods. |
| Automatic shut-off not working. | Incorrect pressure setting; malfunction. | Double-check that the desired pressure is correctly set on the digital display. If the issue persists, contact customer support. |
| Inaccurate pressure reading. | Loose connection; sensor issue. | Ensure the air hose is tightly connected to the tire valve. If readings remain inconsistent, compare with a known accurate gauge. |
