Michelin Compact Top Up Digital Tyre Inflator

About the Product

Thank you for purchasing the Michelin Compact 'Top Up' Digital Tyre Inflator. Please read the operating instructions carefully before using your inflator. Improper use can cause damage to property and possibly harm the user. When using the inflator, ensure the vehicle is parked in a safe location, off the road, with the vehicle handbrake on and where your personal safety is not at risk.

WARNINGS:

• Never allow children to use this inflator.
• Never over inflate.
• Always use in a safe area away from traffic and other dangers.
• Only suitable for vehicles with a negative earth. Check your vehicle owner's manual.
• This inflator is designed for topping-up pressure, not inflating from flat. Do not inflate over 40 PSI.
• When topping up vehicle tyres, this inflator should ONLY be used for car tyres and bicycle tyres.
• Max power requirement during normal use: 6A / 72W.
• Compressed air can be dangerous.
• Never leave unattended when running.
• Never run for more than 8 minutes. After each 8-minute run, allow the inflator to cool down.

Correct Tyre Pressures:

Correct tyre pressure is vital for road safety. Under or overinflated tyres can be dangerous. Always ensure that regular weekly checks are carried out to the vehicle manufacturer's recommended pressures, including the spare, but excluding space saver tyres. Always check before a long journey or after loading or unloading the vehicle. Always check pressures in ambient temperature; never immediately after a long journey.

Cautions:

• Inspect the tyre inflator before each use.
• Do not leave connected to the 12V DC socket unattended.
• Do not kink or block the air hose while the compressor is working.
• Do not use the compressor if bent, broken, melted, burnt, wet, or if any of the components are damaged.
• The compressor contains no user-serviceable parts - DO NOT OPEN.

This product conforms to the criteria set out in Procedure 2 as defined in Annex VI of Directive 2000/14/EC, RoHS Directive 2011/65/EU and EMC Directive 2004/108/EC.

Tyre Inflation Procedure

1. With the On/Off button (1) in the Off position, unwind the power cord. Plug the small end into the input (6) and the 12V power plug into your vehicle's 12V power socket. Wait a few seconds until the digital display shows zero. Note: When the On/Off button is in the Off position, it protrudes slightly from the unit. When in the On position, the button is flush with the unit.
2. Press the PSI, BAR & kPa button (5) to select the desired pressure format (PSI, BAR, or kPa).
3. Lift up the high pressure hose and screw the tyre valve connector (3) onto the tyre valve. Always connect the 12V power plug before connecting the high pressure hose to the tyre. Check the tyre pressure shown on the display. If the display reads 0.00 or Err, refer to the Trouble Shooting guide. When connected correctly, the gauge will display the current pressure in the tyre. If this is the pressure as stated in your vehicle's handbook, you can simply remove the tyre valve connector (3).
4. To start inflating, press the On/Off button (1). You will see the pressure increasing on the display (2). Due to the sensitive nature of the tyre pressure measuring system, the gauge may drop back slightly when you switch the tyre inflator off at the required pressure. If this happens, switch back on and inflate to a slightly higher pressure. Switch off and re-check.
5. If you are inflating multiple tyres, follow the procedure from step 3 to 4 above for each tyre.
6. If the 12V power supply is disconnected during the inflation cycle, please follow the reset procedure outlined in the Trouble Shooting guide. Always reconnect the 12V power supply before connecting the high pressure hose to the tyre valve.

12V Power Plug - Fuse Replacement

To replace the fuse in the 12V plug:

1. Undo the knurled ring anti-clockwise.
2. Replace fuse (Max. 10A glass type).
3. Replace fuse and knurled ring.
