7. Troubleshooting & FAQ

Common Questions

• What can I inflate with this? Car tires (sedans, SUVs, light pickups under 245mm), motorcycle tires, bicycle tires, and sports balls. It is not for RVs or heavy-duty vehicles.
• Does it stop automatically? Yes. Set your desired pressure first. The inflator will stop automatically when that pressure is reached.
• How long does the battery last? About 25 minutes of continuous use or enough to inflate ~4 mid-size car tires. It takes about 3 hours to recharge fully.
• What should I do before first use? Fully charge the battery, and consider an extra 1-2 hour charge to activate the battery for best durability.
• Is there a flashlight? Yes, a built-in LED flashlight is activated by double-pressing the power button.

Troubleshooting

• Unit won't turn on: Battery may be depleted. Connect to charger.
• Not inflating / Air leaking: Ensure the hose is screwed tightly onto the tire valve. Check that the correct nozzle adaptor is used and secured.
• Overheating: Allow the unit to cool down. Do not operate continuously beyond its rated duty cycle. Ensure cooling vents are not blocked.
• Inaccurate pressure reading: Ensure the hose connection is airtight. The built-in sensor should provide accurate readings; cross-check with a separate gauge if concerned.
