Safety Information
- Do not operate the pump in wet conditions. Keep the pump dry and away from water.
- Ensure proper ventilation. Do not block the air intake or exhaust ports during operation.
- Keep out of reach of children. This is not a toy.
- Use only with a 12V DC power source. Connect to a car cigarette lighter socket. Ensure the vehicle engine is running for optimal performance and to prevent draining the car battery.
- Do not exceed the maximum pressure rating of the inflatable item. Always check the recommended PSI for your inflatable.
- Avoid continuous operation for extended periods. The pump features an active cooling system, but prolonged use without breaks can lead to overheating. Allow the pump to cool down if it becomes excessively warm.
- Always use the correct nozzle adapter for your inflatable to ensure a secure connection and prevent air leakage.
- Disconnect the power source when not in use or before performing any maintenance.

Operating Instructions
Inflation
- Power On: Press the power button (ON/OFF) on the pump. The digital display will illuminate.
- Set Desired Pressure: Use the "PSI" or "BAR" button to select your preferred pressure unit. Then, use the "+" and "-" buttons to set the target pressure. Refer to your inflatable's manufacturer recommendations for the correct PSI.
- Start Inflation: Connect the nozzle to the inflatable's valve. Press the power button again to start the inflation process. The pump will operate in two stages: a high-volume stage for rapid initial inflation, followed by a high-pressure stage to reach the set PSI.
- Automatic Shut-off: The pump will automatically stop once the preset pressure is reached.
- Disconnect: Disconnect the nozzle from the inflatable and then unplug the pump from the 12V power source.

Deflation
To deflate your inflatable item:
- Connect for Deflation: Connect the inflation hose to the "IN" (deflation) port on the pump.
- Attach Nozzle: Attach the appropriate nozzle adapter to the inflatable's valve.
- Start Deflation: Press the power button to start the deflation process. The pump will actively draw air out of the inflatable, making it easier to roll up and store.
- Stop Deflation: Once the inflatable is sufficiently deflated, press the power button again to stop the pump.
- Disconnect: Disconnect the nozzle from the inflatable and unplug the pump from the 12V power source.
Maintenance
- Cleaning: Wipe the pump's exterior with a soft, dry cloth after each use. Do not use harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
- Storage: Store the pump, hose, and accessories in the provided carrying bag in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures.
- Check Connections: Periodically inspect the hose and nozzle adapters for any signs of wear, cracks, or damage. Ensure O-rings are intact and properly seated for an airtight seal.
- Air Vents: Keep the air intake and exhaust vents clear of dust and debris to ensure proper airflow and prevent overheating.
Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Pump does not turn on. | No power from 12V socket; loose connection; vehicle engine off. | Ensure 12V socket is functional. Check power cable connection. Start vehicle engine. |
| Pump inflates slowly or not to desired PSI. | Air leakage from hose/nozzle; incorrect nozzle; low vehicle voltage; pump overheating. | Check all connections for tightness. Ensure correct nozzle is used. Start vehicle engine. Allow pump to cool if hot. |
| Pump stops unexpectedly. | Reached preset pressure; overheating; power interruption. | Check digital display for target pressure. Allow pump to cool. Verify power connection. |
| Air leaks from hose connection. | Hose not screwed in tightly; damaged O-ring; incorrect nozzle. | Tighten hose connections. Inspect and replace O-rings if damaged. Ensure correct nozzle is used and fully inserted. |
