WORKING CONDITIONS

1. Make sure that the intake air is dry and dust free.

2. DO NOT use the tyre inflator in a damp or wet environment. The compressor

should only be used with good ventilation. There should be no dust, acids,

vapours, explosive or flammable gases present.

3. NEVER use the tyre inflator in areas where work is conducted with sprayed

water.

4. DO NOT cover the tyre inflator. Always use it with good all-round air

ventilation.

USING THE TYRE INFLATOR

ALWAYS inspect the tyre inflator before use to ensure the power cable and

high pressure hose are in good condition.

1. Power the compressor directly

from the vehicle using the power

cable included. Connect one

end of the car charger to the

bottom of the tyre inflator and the

other end directly to your vehicle

12V outlet.

2. Fit the air hose by screwing it into

the end of the tyre inflator.

3. Connect the other end of the

air hose to the valve stem of the

item you are inflating.

• Use the adaptor supplied to

inflate sport balls including soccer,

basketballs and footballs.

NOTE: When inflating items of 10

psi or less, inflate in short

bursts and check after

each burst by feel or with a

calibrated measuring device to determine accurate pressure.

Pressure required for most sports balls is too low for accurate

reading on tool gauge.

Parts & Service: 020 8988 7400 / E-mail: Parts@clarkeinternational.com or [email protected]

• The manufacturer set pressure is 30 PSI and this compressor has a

memory function. The gauge will indicate units of measurement and

measured value.

4. Press the "SET" button to choose

the desired unit (PSI, BAR, KPA, kg/

cm2).

5. Press "-" or "+" button to choose

the desired value. Press and hold

"-" or "+" button will accelerate

numerical change. After the

screen flashes three times, it will

show "0" and the system will enter

the chosen unit.

6. Press the tyre inflator's On/Off

trigger switch to start and hold this

button for continuous working.

• The built-in LED light will be lit

during inflation.

• For continuous inflation you can

push the switch lock upwards to

lock while the On/Off trigger is

depressed. In this way, inflation

continues without pressing any

button. To stop, simply squeeze

the trigger to release the locking

switch.

• When the desired pressure is

reached, the tyre inflator will

stop working as it has pre-set

function. When the desired the pressure is reached, the reading may

have a +/- 1.5 psi difference. (This is normal)

• Note that the tyre inflator has a 10 mins running/10 mins resting duty cycle.

7. After use, loosen the hose and remove from the tyre inflator

Parts & Service: 020 8988 7400 / E-mail: Parts@clarkeinternational.com or Service@clarkeinternational.com

• When not in use, adaptors provided with the tyre inflator can be clipped to

the storage area on the top of the tyre inflator.

TYRE INFLATION

1. Fix the tyre valve connector onto

the vehicle tyre valve, ensuring

the valve is clean.

• When connected correctly, the

digital display will show the

current pressure in the tyre. If this is

the correct tyre pressure as stated

in your vehicle handbook, remove

the valve connector.

2. If the tyre is below the

recommended pressure (as specified in your vehicle handbook), press

either the ‘-’ or ‘+’ pre-set button to adjust the pre-set value on the display

to the correct tyre pressure.

NOTE: The unit will default to the last tyre pressure set. You can then

adjust this using the ‘-’ or ‘+’ buttons.

3. Press the Power Switch to 'ON'.

4. The tyre inflator will now inflate your tyre to the pre-set pressure and switch

off automatically when the pressure is reached. Towards final inflation, the

tyre pressure display reading will be slightly higher than the selected

pressure. When the compressor stops, the final reading will be the selected

pressure. This is a normal function of the unit.

5. Switch OFF the tyre inflator and remove the tyre valve connector from the

tyre valve, returning the hose to its storage position.

WARNING: THE HOSE MAY BE HOT AFTER USE. REMOVE CAREFULLY.

WARNING: IMPROPERLY ATTACHED HOSES OR ACCESSORIES CAN

BECOME DETACHED UNDER PRESSURE AND CAUSE SERIOUS INJURY.

WARNING: POSSIBLE AIR LEAKS CAN CAUSE FAULTY PRESSURE READINGS.

MAKE SURE ALL CONNECTIONS ARE TIGHTLY SECURED.

WARNING: THE GAUGE IS ONLY TO BE USED AS A REFERENCE, ALWAYS

CARRY OUT A FINAL PRESSURE CHECK WITH A GAUGE CONFORMING TO

BS EN 12645

Parts & Service: 020 8988 7400 / E-mail: Parts@clarkeinternational.com or [email protected]

IMPORTANT: The ‘-’ or ‘+’ pre-set buttons should never be pressed while the

compressor is running.

If you leave the compressor connected to the 12V supply but do not inflate

the tyre, after a few minutes the Digital Display will switch off. To turn back on,

press the Pressure Format Select Button.

• When inflating tyres with normal “Schrader” valves, no adaptors need to

be fitted to the hose.

• Presta valves require the adaptor to be screwed onto the valve before

attaching the hose.

CAUTION: AVOID INFLATING THE OBJECTS ABOVE THE RECOMMENDED INFLATION

PRESSURE. THIS COULD LEAD TO DAMAGE AND /OR INJURIES.

MAINTENANCE

Keep the tyre inflator free of dirt and dust as far as possible. Wipe with a clean

cloth or blow it down with compressed air at low pressure.

Never use cleaning agents or solvents as these may be aggressive to the

plastic parts. Ensure that no water can get into the interior of the tyre inflator.

Your CLARKE tyre inflator has been designed to give long and trouble free

service. If, however, having followed the instructions in this booklet carefully,

you encounter problems, take the tyre inflator to your local CLARKE dealer.

The 12V plug incorporates a 15A fuse which can be replaced by unscrewing

the two halves of the plug.

Store the tyre inflator in a dry location.
