COMPRESSED AIR TESTER

Intended Use

▪
The device is designed to check the air pressure and to fill or deflate
tyres, such as car, motorcycle, truck, or bicycle tyres.
▪
The intended use also includes an operation following the operating
instructions.
▪
Any use beyond these parameters (different media, applying force)
or any changes (reconstruction, no original accessory) can lead to
serious risks and is regarded as use that is contrary to the intended purpose. The operator
is liable for any damage caused by improper use.
Before first Use
Unpack the air tester and check all parts for any damage in transit. Dispose of packaging
materials or store them out of reach of children. There is risk of suffocation!
Hints on Filling Car Tyres
▪
The optimum air pressure of the car tyre not only provides safe performance and durability
of your tyres – using the right tyre pressure, recommended by the automobile
manufacturer, also can safe fuel.
▪
You will find the details on the comfortable minimum pressure for your tyres in the
instruction manual of your vehicle or e.g. at the door pillar or behind the petrol cap.
▪
The compressed air, to refill the tyre, has to be oil free. Do not connect an oiler ahead of
the unit. It is recommended to use a separate compressed air hose only for working with
the tyre inflator, because there may be oil residues on other compressed air hoses.

Measuring Air Pressure

1. Screw the air hose (2c) and the gun together.
2. Put the valve connector (2d) on the tyre valve. To do this, please press down the lever to
unlock the clamping mechanism. As soon as you release the lever, the plug clamps at the
valve.
Read the existing pressure from the manometer (2a).
Outer rim of the scale = values in the bar (1 bar = 100 kPa)
Inner rim of the scale = value in psi.

Filling

1. Screw the air hose (2c) and gun together.
2. Connect the plug nipple (2e) of the air tester with a compressed air supply.
3. Put the valve connector (2d) on the tyre valve.
4. Press the trigger (2b); compressed air flows into the tyre.
The moment you are filling in the air, the manometer (2a) shows a pressure that is a little bit
higher than the actual tyre pressure. When you release the trigger, you can read the actual
tyre pressure on the manometer.

Deflation of Air

If the tyre pressure is too high, use the deflation button and slowly reduce the air
pressure to the desired value.
