USING THE TIRE PRESSURE GAUGE (Fig. K)
Place the tire gauge opening on the valve stem of the tire and firmly hold in place for
at least 2 seconds. If required check twice for accuracy.
The side wall of your tire will specify the maximum PSI or KPA rating however the
pressure level for everyday driving will be specified in your vehicles manual and
should be followed. It is suggested to review your vehicles owners manual for optimum
tire pressure by season or contact your tire manufacturer for more details.
NOTE: Check tire condition and pressure at least once a month and before any long
trip. Never exceed the maximum cold tire inflation pressure shown on the tire side wall.
The tire pressures should be checked when the tires are cold. On hot days the
pressures will be 4 to 8 psi (28 - 50 KPA) higher after high speed driving.
Using the tire chuck:
1. Connect tire chuck to hose using PTFE tape on threads. You may also attach the
tire chuck to a male quick connect for quick and easy removal in the future.
2. Connect hose to compressor and turn switch to ON position. Allow pressure to
build up to maximum pressure level in tank.
3. Adjust regulator pressure to MAXIMUM position. In maximum output pressure
position 135psi the tire will fill up quicker and accurately however it is extremely
important to monitor the air flow using the tire gauge as it is in process of being
filled to ensure of not overfilling tire.
NOTE: If maximum pressure is not used for output of the compressor to tire than
the tire may not fill as there may be a pressure lock between the tire and the hose
which is normal. Due to this always use maximum pressure from compressor and
continue to monitor pressure with gauge.
4. Place tire chuck on tire valve stem and press firmly into place to prevent air from
leaking out of tire.
5. Remove tire chuck from valve stem and check pressure using a tire gauge.
This process needs to be followed throughout the process of filling each tire to
ensure of accuracy and to prevent overfilling.
