TYRE INFLATION
1. With the On/Off button
●
in Off position, unwind power cord
●
completely from the storage
compartment and plug into your vehicle’s 12v power plug socket. Wait a few seconds until
digital display shows zero. Please note – when the On/Off button is in the Off position, it
protrudes from the the unit slightly. When in the On position the the button is flush to the unit.
2. To choose desired pressure format PSI, BAR, KPa, press the yellow button
●
. Each press of
the button cycles through the pressure format.
3. Uncoil high pressure hose and screw tyre valve connector
●
onto the tyre valve. When
connected correctly the gauge will display the current pressure in the tyre. If this is tyre pressure
as stated in your vehicle’s handbook, you can simply remove the tyre valve connector
●
.
4. 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 gauge display to
the correct tyre pressure.
Note: The unit has a built in memory and will default to the last tyre pressure set in gauge
display of the inflator. You can then scroll up or down using the (–) or (+) buttons
●
to set
correct tyre pressure (as specified in your vehicle handbook).
5. If the tyre is above the recommended pressure remove the valve connector from the tyre valve
and release some air from the tyrSe. Follow steps 3& 4 inflate the tyre to the correct pressure.
WARNING! COMPRESSED AIR CAN BE DANGEROUS
■
Never allow children to use this tyre inflator.
■
Never leave unattended when running and never over inflate.
■
Always use in a safe area away from traffic and other dangers.
■
Never run for more than 10 minutes. After each 10 minute run allow inflator to cool for
10 minutes.
■
Correct tyre pressure is vital for road safety.
■
Under or over inflated 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. Check always before a long journey or after loading or unloading vehicle.
■
Always check pressure in an ambient temperature, never immediately after a long
journey.
CAUTION
■
Inspect tyre inflator before each use.
■
Do not leave connected to 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 any of the
components are damaged.
■
Only use the adaptors supplied with device.
■
The compressor contains no user serviceable parts – Do not open.
6. Press On/Off button
●
to turn inflator on. Your tyre inflator will now inflate your tyre to the
pre-set level, as selected and switch off automati-cally. When the inflator is nearing the pre-set
value it stops momentarily but can start up to 3/5 times within 2-3 seconds to make sure it has
reached the pre-set pressure you have entered. This is a feature of the sensor
within the inflator to aid accuracy of the pre-set pressure.
7. Remove the tyre valve connectpr
●
from the tyre valve. Take care when unscrewing the
tyre valve connector.
8. If you are inflating multiple tyres then follow the procedure stated from 3 to 7 above. If the
12v power supply is disconnected the always reconnect the 12v power supply before
connecting the high pressure hose to the tyre valve. If there is a power interruption during
the inflation cycle, please follow the reset procedure outlined in the Trouble Shooting
guide.
12v POWER PLUG
TO REPLACE FUSE IN 12V PLUG: Undo knurled ring anticlockwise.
Replace fuse and knurled ring. (Max’ 15A)
ADAPTORS
Included with your Michelin High Power Rapid Tyre Inflator, on the back of the unit, is a
snap-in storage compartment
●
containing various adaptors, to enable you to inflate other
items. To avoid over-inflation, always follow manufacturer’s instructions on the items to be
inflated.
---Small Toy Inflator adaptors
---Sports Ball adaptors
---Presta Valve adaptor (High Pressure cycle tyres)
Only suitable for vehicles with a negative earth. Check your vehicle owner’s manual.
■
This inflator can inflate car tyres up to 40 PSI (do not inflate space saver tyres) and
bicycle tyres up to 120 PSI. Higher pressures can be achieved in cycle tyres due totheir
smaller air volumes compared to car tyres.
■
When inflating vehicle tyres this inflator should ONLY be used for car tyres and bicycle
tyres. Low pressure items such as sports balls and small inflatable toys mayalso be
inflated using the adaptors provided.
■
Max power requirement during normal use: 7.5 AMPS / 96 WATTS.
