Carefully screw on the brass end connector of the air hose onto the valve stem of your tire. You may hear a tiny amount of air escape when twisting it on, this is normal. As soon as you stop hearing any air escape and the nozzle is secure, you are good to go! Be careful to not over-tighten.
The switch labeled with the “light icon” is used to turn on the LED safety light for night time use. The other switch is used to power on the unit to begin inflation at an impressive rate of 35 L/min.
Yes, most air compressors will heat up during inflation. Since ours is built to last from metal parts, this is especially true. Only hold the unit by the carrying handle and be careful to not touch the metal parts if you have been inflating your tires with the unit recently.
As a side note, it is important to know that the ‘continuous work time’ for this unit is in 15 minute cycles. If you need to use the compressor longer than 15 minutes, please power off the unit and wait another 15 minutes before using again. However, you should be able to level off all 4 tires in well under this time frame.
Yes, we recommend using the unit while the vehicle’s engine is on and running for optimal performance.
While the dial gauge on the unit is calibrated to ±2-3% PSI accuracy, we recommend always confirming final tire pressure with a reliable tire pressure gauge with a built-in air bleeder valve that allows you to decrease pressure in overinflated tires if necessary.
