Safety Information
Read all instructions carefully before using the tire inflator. Failure to follow these instructions may result in product damage, property damage, or personal injury.
- Always operate the inflator in a well-ventilated area.
- Do not leave the inflator unattended while in use.
- Ensure the vehicle engine is running when powering the inflator from the 12V cigarette lighter socket to prevent draining the vehicle's battery.
- Do not exceed the maximum working pressure of 100 PSI. Refer to your tire's sidewall or vehicle's owner's manual for recommended tire pressure.
- Allow the inflator to cool down after prolonged use to prevent overheating.
- Keep out of reach of children.
- Do not expose the inflator to rain or wet conditions.
Setup
- Ensure your vehicle's engine is running.
- Plug the 12V DC power cord into your vehicle's cigarette lighter socket.
- Unscrew the valve cap from the tire valve stem.
- Firmly attach the air hose's twist-on connector to the tire valve stem. Ensure a secure connection to prevent air leakage.

Operating Instructions
- After connecting the inflator to the power source and tire valve, the LCD digital display will illuminate and show the current tire pressure.
- Use the unit selection button (often marked 'R' or 'UNIT') to cycle through desired pressure units: PSI, KPA, or BAR.
- Use the '+' and '-' buttons to set the desired target pressure. The display will show the set pressure.
- Press the power switch (often marked 'ON/OFF' or a red button) to start the inflation. The inflator will begin to fill the tire.
- Monitor the digital display as the tire inflates. The inflator will automatically shut off once the preset pressure is reached.
- Once inflation is complete, turn off the inflator (if it hasn't auto-shut off) and carefully disconnect the air hose from the tire valve. Replace the valve cap.
