2. Safety Instructions

Please read all safety warnings and instructions carefully before operating this product to prevent electric shock, fire, or serious injury.

• Always wear eye protection when operating the inflator.
• Do not leave the inflator unattended while in use.
• Ensure the correct pressure setting for the item being inflated to avoid over-inflation and potential bursting.
• Keep children and bystanders away from the operating area.
• Do not operate the inflator in wet conditions or expose it to rain.
• Allow the unit to cool down after extended use to prevent overheating.
• Note: This inflator is NOT compatible with large truck tires.
• Important: The 12V DC adapter is not compatible with Tesla Model Y vehicles manufactured after approximately November 2021, as their low voltage battery is 16V Li-ion. Power inverters plugged into the low voltage power socket must support 16V DC input to function with these specific vehicles.
