Maintenance

1. Cleaning

Wipe the device with a soft, dry cloth. Do not use harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners. Ensure the air inlet and outlet are free from dust and debris.

2. Storage

Store the inflator and its accessories in the provided storage bag. The internal storage compartment on the device itself is designed to hold the pump needle, Presta adapter, conical nozzle, and spare fuse, preventing loss of small parts. Apply the silicone cover to protect the unit from scratches.

3. Battery Care

To prolong battery life, avoid fully discharging the battery frequently. Recharge the device when the battery indicator is low. If storing for an extended period, charge the battery to approximately 50% every 3-6 months.

4. Fuse Replacement

If the device fails to power on or operate when connected via the 12V DC power cord, the fuse in the 12V DC plug may need replacement. A spare fuse is included in the accessory storage compartment.

Troubleshooting

  • Device does not turn on: Ensure the battery is charged. If using 12V DC mode, check the car's cigarette lighter socket for power and inspect the fuse in the 12V DC plug.
  • Inflation is slow or not reaching target pressure: Check that the air hose and nozzle are securely attached and there are no leaks. Ensure the correct pressure unit and target pressure are set. Verify the item being inflated does not have a leak.
  • Automatic shut-off before target pressure: This may indicate a low battery. Recharge the device or switch to 12V DC power mode.
  • Inaccurate pressure reading: Ensure the nozzle is firmly connected to the valve stem. Recalibrate the device if necessary (refer to specific instructions in the full user manual if available, or contact support).
  • Device gets hot during use: It is normal for the device to warm up during operation, especially during prolonged use or high-pressure inflation. If it becomes excessively hot, allow it to cool down before continuing.
