Inflating Tires
CAUTION:
If the pressure gauge on the compressor indicates more than twice the recommended pressure for
the object you are inflating and you have only started to inflate the object, the valve connector is
incorrectly connected to the valve stem. This may damage the PowerTunes. Remove and reattach
the valve connector to the valve stem.
To Inflate Your Vehicle, Motorcycle, or Bicycle tires:
1. Locate Valve Connector.
2. Remove from storage and uncoil hose.
3. Remove Valve Stem Cap from tire to be inflated.
4. Place Valve Connector firmly and completely over valve stem on the tire.
5. Press the Thumb Latch toward the house until it locks into the closed position.
6. Press the Compressor switch to turn the compressor ON.
7. Inflate to desired pressure.
8. Press the Compressor switch to turn the compressor OFF.
9. Press the Thumb Latch away from the house and remove from valve stem.
10. Double-check the air pressure with a pressure gauge.
11. Replace Valve Stem Cap.
Inflating Small Sports Equipment
You can use the compressor to inflate small sports equipment such as soccer balls and footballs.
CAUTION:
The PowerTunes cannot be used to inflate large capacity inflatable such as float tubes, large air
mattresses, transport truck tires, and inflatable boats. These types of products require extended
inflating times which may damage the compressor.
To Inflate Small Sports Equipment:
1. Choose the appropriate nozzle adapter (not supplied).
2. If an adapter is required, insert the nozzle adapter into the valve connector, turning it clockwise to
tighten, and close the thumb latch,
3. Place the valve connector fully on the valve stem or into the valve receptacle on the item to be
inflated.
4. Turn the compressor ON and inflate to appropriate pressure.
5. Turn the compressor OFF before removing valve connector from the valve stem.
6. Remove nozzle adapter form the valve connector and store in storage compartment or Accessory
Bag.
CAUTION:
Allow the compressor to cool down for 10 minutes after each 10 minutes of continuous operation.
Repeat if necessary.
Note: Leave the thumb latch in the open position for storing to relieve pressure on the
internal mechanism.
