Before initial use, fully charge the tire inflator. Connect the Type-C charging cable to the device and a compatible 5V 2A or 5V 3A USB adapter (not included). The battery indicator on the display will show charging progress. A full charge ensures optimal performance and battery life.
Note: Avoid using unbranded or high-power chargers to prevent damage to the device.
Powering the Device
The inflator offers two power options:

Operating Instructions
Basic Inflation Steps
- Power On: Press and hold the power button for 2 seconds to turn on the device. The digital display will illuminate.
- Select Mode and Preset Pressure: Press the 'M' button to cycle through the four preset inflation modes: car, bike, motorcycle, and sports equipment. Use the '+' and '-' buttons to adjust the target pressure value. The unit supports PSI, BAR, KPA, and KG/CM². The device remembers your last used setting.
- Connect Air Hose: Screw the air hose onto the tire valve stem. Ensure a secure connection to prevent air leakage.
- Start Inflation: Press the power button to begin inflation. The display will show the real-time pressure. The device will automatically stop when the preset target pressure is reached.
- Disconnect: Once inflation is complete, quickly disconnect the air hose from the valve stem. The lock-on air chuck allows for quick release with minimal air loss.

Inflation Performance
The inflator provides rapid airflow. For example:
- A standard car tire (195/65 R15) can be inflated from 30 to 35 PSI in approximately 55 seconds.
- A larger SUV tire (235/65 R17) can be inflated from 30 to 35 PSI in approximately 2.2 minutes.
The unit can inflate car/pickup truck tires up to a maximum of 51 PSI.

Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Device does not turn on. | Low battery or no power connection. | Charge the device using the Type-C cable or connect it to a 12V DC power source. |
| Slow inflation or no inflation. | Air hose not securely connected; incorrect pressure setting; object being inflated is too large or damaged. | Ensure the air hose is tightly screwed onto the valve stem. Check the preset pressure. Verify the item being inflated is within the device's capacity (max 51 PSI for car/pickup tires). |
| Inaccurate pressure reading. | Loose connection; sensor error. | Ensure the air hose is securely connected. If the issue persists, contact customer support. |
| Device overheats. | Prolonged continuous use. | Allow the device to cool down for at least 10-15 minutes before resuming operation. Avoid continuous operation for more than 10 minutes. |
