7. Maintenance

• Keep the device clean and free from dust and debris. Use a soft, dry cloth for cleaning.
• Store the inflator and its accessories in the provided cloth storage bag when not in use to prevent damage.

• Ensure the air tube and nozzles are clear of obstructions before and after use.

8. Troubleshooting

• Device not turning on: Ensure the battery is charged. If using the corded option, check the vehicle's 12V outlet for power.
• Inflator not inflating: Check that the air tube is securely connected to both the inflator and the item. Ensure the correct nozzle is used and properly attached. Verify the target pressure is set above the current pressure.
• Inaccurate pressure reading: Ensure the nozzle is fully seated on the valve stem to prevent air leakage. If discrepancies persist, compare with a known accurate pressure gauge.
• Device overheating: Prolonged continuous operation can cause the device to heat up. Allow it to cool down before resuming use.
