- Unit Display: Shows the selected unit (KPA, BAR, PSI, KGF).
- Working Indicator: Indicates the status of the inflation process.
- Function Select Display: Indicates the selected function (SET, OPS).
- Buttons:
- ON/OFF/LIGHT: Powers the device on/off and controls the backlight.
- SET: Enters setting mode, confirms selections.
- OPS: Selects the Over Pressure Setting function.
- CAR: Selects the preset pressure for cars.
- SUV: Selects the preset pressure for SUVs.
- + / -: Increase or decrease target pressure, or cycle through units/options.
Default Pressure Values:
- CAR: 35 psi / 2.4 bar
- SUV: 39 psi / 2.7 bar
Function and Operation
- Unit Select: Press [SET] to enter unit selection. Press [+] or [-] to choose the unit (kpi-psi-bar-kgf). Press [SET] to confirm.
- Set OPS (Over Pressure Setting): Press [SET] twice. Press [+] or [-] to choose the OPS value. Press [SET] to confirm. If OPS value is not zero, [OPS] will be displayed on the LCD screen.
- Manual Inflation: If tire pressure is lower than 3 psi or 0.2 bar, press [ ] to start manually.
- Set Default Preset Pressure Value: Press [CAR] or [SUV]. Press [+] or [-] to choose the desired preset pressure value. Press [SET] to confirm.
- Inflation and Deflation: Press [CAR] or [SUV] to select default preset pressure. Press [+] or [-] to adjust target pressure. Connect the inflator to the tire, ensuring no air leaks. The inflator will work automatically. When inflation is finished, the machine will stop automatically and beep to remind users. Disconnect the air hose from the tire.
- Power on/Power off/Backlight: Press and hold [ON/OFF/LIGHT] for two seconds to turn on. Press [ON/OFF/LIGHT] to turn on the backlight. Press and hold [ON/OFF/LIGHT] for three seconds to turn off.
Remarks:
- Press [SET] to enter the function setting mode. After selecting the unit, press [SET] again to enter the [OPS] setting directly. Press [SET] four times to exit the setting mode without saving.
- When OPS function is on, the device will inflate to the target pressure plus the OPS value, then deflate to the desired tire pressure. For example, a final target of 32 psi or 2.2 bar with an OPS setting of 16 psi or 1.1 bar results in a sum of 48 psi or 3.3 bar. This sum is the Over Pressure setting. The tire will inflate to this sum value and then deflate to the final target pressure.
- During inflation, the device automatically checks tire pressure. The rolling bar indicates inflation (left to right) or deflation (right to left).
- WARNING: To avoid personal injury, especially to the eyes, face, or skin, do not direct the air stream at any person.
- WARNING: This equipment is not intended for use by children without adult supervision.
- WARNING: When using the OPS function, the sum pressure must not exceed the tire manufacturer's maximum inflation pressure.
Troubleshooting
PROBLEM | POSSIBLE CAUSE | SOLUTION |
---|---|---|
Air leak | Leak in the connection | Check the pneumatic connection. |
The inflator works, But no air inflated | Obstruction in filters or in air system | Clean the filters and check the air tube. |
No display | Flat battery | Recharge battery. |

Tire pressure is below 3psi (0.2bar) | Manual inflation. | |
The unit deflates very slowly | The silencer plug on is blocked | Remove and clean the silencer plug. |
Err1 | Pressure sensor broken | Power off, change pressure sensor. |
Err2 | Unstable pressure, faulty hose connector | Replace hose connector or re-connect hose to the tire. |
Err3 | Connected Tire pressure is too high pressure> 188.5psi (13bar) | Stop inflating this tire. |
Err4 | Wrong connections at air inlet and outlet | Refer to wiring diagram and connect magnetic valve accordingly. |
Err5 | battery low | Please recharge the battery. |
Err8 | Air supply lower than set inflate pressure | Stop inflating this tire. |
