5. Setup

5.1 Initial Charging

Before first use, fully charge the tire inflator using the provided Type-C charging cable. Connect the Type-C end to the inflator's charging port and the USB-A end to a compatible USB power adapter (not included) or a computer USB port. The battery indicator on the digital display will show charging progress.

5.2 Attaching the Inflation Hose

Screw the inflation hose securely onto the inflator's air outlet port. Ensure it is tightened to prevent air leakage during operation.

6. Operating Instructions

6.1 Basic Inflation Steps

1. Turn on the Device: Press and hold the power button for 2 seconds to turn on the inflator. The digital display will illuminate.
2. Select Desired Pressure Unit: Press the 'Unit' button (usually labeled 'R' or 'M') to cycle through available pressure units: PSI, BAR, KPA, and kg/cm². Select your preferred unit.
3. Set Desired Pressure: Use the '+' and '-' buttons to adjust the target pressure. Refer to your item's manufacturer recommendations for the correct pressure.
4. Select Inflation Mode (Optional): The device may have preset modes for different items (e.g., car, motorcycle, bicycle, ball). Press the 'Mode' button to cycle through these if available. This will set a default target pressure for the selected item, which can then be fine-tuned with '+' and '-'.
5. Connect Hose to Valve: Securely attach the inflation hose to the valve stem of the item you wish to inflate. For different items, use the appropriate nozzle adapter. Ensure a tight connection to prevent air leakage.
6. Start Inflation: Press the power button (often labeled with a play/pause icon) to begin inflation. The inflator will automatically stop once the preset pressure is reached.
7. Disconnect: Once inflation is complete and the device has stopped, quickly disconnect the hose from the valve stem. A small amount of air may escape, which is normal.

6.2 Using the LED Light

Press the 'Light' button (often indicated by a light bulb icon) to turn on the LED light. Press again to cycle through different light modes (e.g., steady on, flashing, SOS) or to turn it off.

6.3 Using as a Power Bank

To use the inflator as an emergency power bank, connect your electronic device (e.g., smartphone) to the USB output port on the inflator using your device's charging cable. The inflator will begin charging your device.

6.4 Wired Operation (12V DC)

If the internal battery is low or for continuous use, connect the provided DC power cord to the inflator's 12V input port and plug the other end into your vehicle's 12V cigarette lighter socket. The inflator can then be operated as described in the basic inflation steps.

7. Maintenance

• Cleaning: Wipe the exterior of the inflator with a soft, damp cloth. Do not use harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners. Ensure the device is off and disconnected from any power source before cleaning.
• Storage: Store the inflator and its accessories in the provided storage bag in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures.
• Battery Care: For optimal battery life, charge the device fully at least once every three months, even if not in use.
• Hose and Nozzles: Regularly inspect the inflation hose and nozzles for any signs of wear, cracks, or damage. Replace if necessary to ensure efficient and safe operation.

8. Troubleshooting

• Device does not turn on: Ensure the battery is charged. If using 12V DC mode, check the vehicle's cigarette lighter fuse and the inflator's spare fuse.
• Inflator runs but no air comes out: Check if the inflation hose is securely connected to both the inflator and the item's valve. Ensure the valve stem is not blocked.
• Inflation is slow: Ensure the battery is fully charged or use the 12V DC wired mode. Check for any leaks in the hose connections.
• Device gets hot during use: This is normal during prolonged operation. Allow the device to cool down for 10-15 minutes between uses if it becomes excessively hot.
• Inaccurate pressure reading: Ensure the hose is tightly connected. If issues persist, compare the reading with a known accurate pressure gauge.
