6. Operating Instructions

6.1 Powering On/Off

• Press and hold the power button (usually the central button) for a few seconds to turn the inflator on or off.
• The digital display will illuminate upon power-on.

6.2 Setting Pressure Units

• With the inflator powered on, short press the unit button (often labeled 'M' or a similar icon) to cycle through available pressure units: PSI, BAR, KPA, Kg/cm².
• Select the desired unit.

6.3 Selecting Preset Modes and Customizing Pressure

The inflator offers four preset modes and a customizable manual mode.

1. Select Mode: Press the mode button (often represented by icons like car, motorcycle, bike, ball) to cycle through the preset modes. Each mode has a default pressure setting.
2. Adjust Preset Pressure: Once a mode is selected, use the '+' and '-' buttons to adjust the target pressure to your desired value. The display will show both the current pressure and the target preset pressure.
3. Manual Mode: If no preset mode suits your needs, you can use the '+' and '-' buttons to set a custom target pressure directly.

6.4 Starting Inflation

1. Connect the air hose with the appropriate nozzle securely to the valve stem of the item to be inflated.
2. Ensure the connection is tight to prevent air leakage.
3. Press the power/start button to begin inflation. The inflator will automatically stop once the preset pressure is reached.
4. Monitor the real-time pressure on the digital display during inflation.
