AIR HOSE AND ACCESSORY STORAGE
See Figures 2 - 3, page 8 .
When the inflator is not in use, press the hose into the stor-
age area on top of the tool.
The inflator can be hung on a pegboard by the holes on top
of the tool housing.
When not in use, a daptors and needles provided with the
inflator can be placed in the storage area on the base of
the tool.
DIGITAL GAUGE
See Figure 4, page 9.
The digital gauge on the inflator serves as a pressure gauge
and monitors the amount of pressure being applied to the
item being inflated.
To turn the digital gauge on, install the battery pack and
squeeze the switch trigger.
NOTE: The digital gauge will automatically shut off when
not in use for 30 seconds.
USING THE INFLATOR
See Figures 5 - 6, page 9.
 Install the battery pack.

Position air chuck clamp in the unlock position
perpendicular to the air hose.
 Place the air chuck on the valve stem.

Push the air chuck down so that the threaded section of
the valve stem is inside the air chuck.
 Clamp the end of the air chuck down onto the valve
stem by pressing air chuck clamp down until it stops or
is parallel with the air
hose.
WARNING:
Improperly attached hoses or accessories can become
detached under pressure and cause serious injury.
Possible air leaks can cause faulty pressure readings.
Make sure all connections are tightly secured.
 Squeeze the switch trigger and a readout will appear on
the gauge.
NOTE: The pressure readout on the gauge while inflating
is a measurement of the fluctuating pressure between the
item and the air hose. To get an accurate reading, release
the switch trigger and wait for the readout to adjust.

The gauge will indicate the pressure in PSI. When the
desired pressure is reached, release the switch trigger
and disconnect the inflator.
NOTE: Maximum PSI for this unit is 150 PSI.
OPERATION
NOTICE:
Always leave the hose free of obstructions when the
tool is not in use. Overheating could occur if the hose
is blocked.
ACCESSORIES
See Figures 7 - 9, page 9.
The supplied accessories perform a variety of functions.
The tapered adaptor can be used on smaller pinch valves to
inflate small items like floats and children’s toys, which usually
require the user to inflate them by blowing air into them. The
sport ball needle can be used to inflate any type of sports ball
or any other item that requires an inflation sport ball needle.
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.
SPORT BALL NEEDLE
NOTICE:
Insert the sport ball needle only until its base is flush
with the surface of the air chuck. Do not insert the sport
ball needle all the way into the chuck. Installing the sport
needle incorrectly can damage the gauge, air chuck, or
other parts of the inflator.
 Insert sport ball needle into sports ball valve and inflate.

Remove sport ball needle after inflation.
NOTE:
Pressure required for most sports balls is too low
for accurate reading on tool gauge.
PRESTA VALVE ADAPTOR
Before inflating a tire with a Presta valve, loosen the locking
nut on the valve stem to inflate. Once inflation is complete,
tighten the locking nut to seal the tire valve.

Loosen the Presta valve locking nut.

Thread the Presta valve adaptor onto the valve stem with
the larger open end toward the wheel.

Position the air chuck clamp in the unlock position.

Clamp the end of the air chuck down onto the Presta
valve adaptor by pressing air chuck clamp down until it
locks into place.

After inflation, remove air chuck and tighten locking nut.
