Operating Instructions
1. Powering On and Selecting Mode

2. Setting Desired Pressure
Once a mode is selected, use the '+' and '-' buttons to adjust the target pressure. The display shows both the current pressure and the target pressure. You can also switch between pressure units (PSI, BAR, KPA, and KG/CM²) by pressing the unit button.
3. Connecting to Item and Starting Inflation
Attach the air hose nozzle to the valve stem of the item you wish to inflate. For car and motorcycle tires, use the standard Schrader valve connector. For bicycles, use the appropriate adapter (French valve adapter included if needed). For balls, attach the ball needle. Once connected, press the power button to start inflation. The inflator will automatically stop once the preset target pressure is reached.
Pressure Memory Function: The device remembers your last used pressure setting for each mode, making subsequent inflations faster.
