PREPARATION
FITTING THE BATTERIES
The inflator requires 2 x AAA batteries. If the voltage of the batteries falls below
2.6 volts, the battery icon will flash continuously until it shuts down. If the
voltage of the batteries falls below 2.5 volts the LOW “LO” battery icon
appears while the power is on and then shuts down automatically. The
batteries must be changed if the battery icon flashes.
1. Unscrew the battery cap.
2. Slide the batteries into the tyre
inflator with the positive end
facing outwards.
3. Replace the battery cap carefully
and DO NOT over tighten.

needed. Turn on the air supply and check that the airline pressure does not
exceed 13.8 bar (200 psi).
2. Ensure all fixed air connections are properly sealed using PTFE tape or pipe
sealant.

unit of measurement to either psi, kPa
or bar.
The display panel will illuminate and
display as shown.
The display should time out and
switch off after 9 seconds.
CAUTION: THIS PRODUCT MAY HAVE A LOWER WORKING PRESSURE
THAN SOME COMPRESSORS WILL SUPPLY, THEREFORE, AN AIRLINE

OPERATION
Under or over inflated tyres are dangerous. Consult the vehicle owners
handbook before using this tyre inflator. Never exceed the maximum pressure
of the tyre.
1. Remove the dust cap from the tyre valve and check that the tyre valve is
clean before connecting.
2. Push the connector fully home onto the tyre valve. If the valve leaks, the
connector may need repositioning. Correct position is confirmed by a
steady reading on the gauge.
3. When connected correctly, the 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.
4. Check the tyre pressure on the display.
5. Depress the trigger to inflate the tyre. Re-check the tyre pressure. Note that
when the trigger is depressed, the gauge will show the airline pressure, not
the tyre pressure.
6. To deflate the tyre, partially depress the trigger and check the pressure
again.
7. When the tyre pressure is correct, remove the connector. Replace the dust
cap on the tyre valve.
IMPORTANT: The air pressure gauge on this product is for guidance only. It is
important that you check the pressure with an approved, calibrated
gauge.
8. DO NOT use damaged or leaking hoses. Occasionally clean the product
and lubricate the trigger parts if required.
