WARNING! ENSURE CORRECT TYRE PRESSURES
■
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.

TYRE INFLATION
1. With the On/Off button
●
in Off position, unwind power cord and plug the small end
into the input
●
and the 12v power 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
button is flush to the unit.
2. Press the PSI, BAR & KPa button
●
to select desired pressure format. Lift up the high
pressure hose and screw the tyre valve connector
●
onto the tyre valve. Always connect
the 12v power plug before connecting the high pressure hose to the tyre. Check the tyre
pressure shown on the display. If the display reads 0.00 or Err then refer to the Trouble
Shooting guide. When connected correctly the gauge will display the current pressure in
the tyre. If this is the pressure as stated in your vehicle’s handbook, you can simply
remove the tyre valve connector

3. To start inflating press On/Off button
●
.
4. You will now see the pressure increasing on the display
●
. Due to the sensitive nature
of the tyre pressure measuring system, you may find that when you switch the tyre
inflator off at the required pressure the gauge may drop back slightly. If this happens,
switch back on and inflate to a slightly higher pressure. Switch off and re-check.
5. If you are inflating multiple tyres then follow the procedure stated from 3 to 4 above.
If the 12v power supply is disconnected then 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.
