Inflating a Tire
- Power On: Press the Power button. The LED display will illuminate.
- Select Mode: Press the 'M' button to cycle to the desired preset mode (Car, Motorcycle, etc.) or select 'Custom' mode.
- Set Pressure (Custom Mode Only): In Custom mode, use the '+' and '-' buttons to set your desired target pressure (up to 160 PSI). Ensure the correct unit (PSI/BAR/KPA) is selected.
- Attach Hose & Nozzle: Screw the appropriate nozzle onto the air hose. Remove the valve cap from the tire and firmly press the nozzle onto the tire valve stem.
- Start Inflation: Press and hold the Power/Start button. The display will show the real-time pressure increasing.
- Automatic Stop: The inflator will automatically shut off when the target pressure is reached.
- Disconnect: Quickly remove the nozzle from the valve stem to prevent air loss. Replace the tire's valve cap.
- Power Off: The device may turn off automatically after a period of inactivity, or you can press the Power button to turn it off.
Using as a Power Bank

Care & Maintenance
- Cleaning: Wipe the exterior with a dry, soft cloth. Do not use liquids or submerge the unit.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place. Avoid extreme temperatures (heat or cold).
- Battery Care for Long-Term Storage: If storing the device for an extended period, charge it periodically to prevent over-discharge of the battery.
- Hose and Nozzles: Keep the air hose and nozzles clean and free from debris to ensure a proper seal.
Troubleshooting
- Device does not turn on: The battery may be depleted. Connect to a power source and charge fully.
- Inflation stops prematurely: Check for overheating. Allow the unit to cool down before resuming use. Ensure the nozzle is properly sealed on the valve stem.
- Inaccurate pressure reading: Ensure the nozzle is firmly attached to the valve stem with no air leaks. The tire's valve core may be faulty.
- Unit feels hot during use: This is normal during extended operation due to the motor. The built-in cooling fan and safety protections are designed to manage heat. If the unit shuts off due to overheating, allow it to cool completely before next use.
- Accessories not staying on magnetic storage: Ensure the metal parts of the accessories are clean and making full contact with the magnetic strip.
