   NOTE: Do not discard the shipping carton and packaging material until you are ready to use your new cordless digital inflator. The packaging is made of recyclable materials. Properly dispose of these materials in accordance with local regulations.

The equipment and packaging material are not toys. Do not let children play with plastic bags, foils, or small parts. These items can be swallowed and pose a suffocation risk!

Charging over USB

NOTE: This power station should be fully charged before use or storage. Check the battery level indicator for the remaining charge in the battery.

Using the included USB-A to USB-C cable, plug the smaller USB-C connector into the corresponding USB-C port of inflator. Then plug the other end of the cable (USB-A) into a USB port on your vehicle, or alternatively into a USB adapter (not included) for charging at an electrical outlet (Fig. 1).

NOTE: To maximize charging speed, use a USB adapter rated at 10W or higher.

NOTE: You may also use other USB ports such as those on computers, wall outlets and power banks to charge your inflator.

Power over 12V DC

NOTE: The 12V DC auto power cable only provides working power to the device and does not charge the internal battery. To charge the battery use the USB-A to USB-C cable instead.

Using the included 12V DC auto power cable, plug the barrel plug into the barrel jack of the inflator. Then plug the 12V DC plug into the 12V DC socket of your vehicle (Fig. 2).

Battery Level Indicator

The battery level indicator can be found on the LCD display, which will illuminate and indicate the charge level when the unit is being used, and when the unit is being charged.

• The three bars on the indicator corresponds to low, medium and high.
• The three bars will cycle on from left to right while charging.
• Once the battery is fully charged, the three bars will remain static at which point unplug the USB-A to USB-C cable from the inflator.

NOTE: Timely recharging of the tool will help prolong its battery life.

The chargers do not automatically turn off when the battery is fully charged. Please take care not to leave the inflator plugged in. Unplug the charging cables when charging is complete.

Never allow the tool to become fully discharged as this will degrade the battery life over time.

Continued and excessive overuse of the ON/OFF button can permanently damage the lithium-ion battery.

• During the charging procedure, the inflator will feel slightly warm to the touch. This is normal.
• When no further use is planned for an extended period of time, disconnect the charging cable from the unit and the electrical outlet/12V DC socket.
• Do not use the device while charging.

Battery Charging Tips

To obtain the longest possible battery life, we suggest the following:

• Store and charge your inflator in a cool area. Temperatures above or below normal room temperature will shorten battery life.
• Never store the inflator with the battery in a discharged condition. Recharge the unit immediately after it is discharged.
• All batteries gradually lose their charge. The higher the temperature is, the faster they lose their charge. If you store your inflator for long periods of time without using it, recharge the battery every 6 months. This will extend its battery life.

NOTE: The inflator has been shipped in a low charge condition and should be fully charged before use.

Operation

1. To turn on the inflator, long press the power button until the LCD display illuminates (Fig. 3).
   NOTE: The LCD display will automatically turn off when not in use for 150 seconds or more.
   
2. Press the mode button to cycle between 4 different modes: ball, bicycle, motorcycle and car (Fig. 4).
   
3. The + and – buttons allow you to manually adjust the inflation pressure. This determines the pressure at which the inflator will pump up to. Press either the + or – buttons to increase or decrease pressure by increments of 0.5 PSI, or long press to quickly cycle the psi value up or down (Fig 5).
   
4. Once the desired PSI has been set, short press the power button to initiate inflation (Fig. 3).

NOTE: Should the pump fail to reach the desired pressure setting within 15 minutes, the pump will automatically shut off.

Inflating with the Air Hose

Schrader valves (cars, motorcycles and mountain bikes) can be attached directly to the air chuck without any additional attachments.

1. Screw the air hose clockwise into the air outlet of the inflator (Fig. 6).
   
2. Unscrew the valve cap from the valve stem (Schrader) of your tire (Fig. 7).
   
3. Place the air chuck onto the threaded valve stem (Schrader), then press down on the air chuck clamp to secure the chuck onto the valve (Fig. 8).
   
4. Set the appropriate PSI according to the label on the driver's side door or the vehicle's user manual. Then short press the power button to initiate inflation (Fig. 3).

Inflating with Adapters

The air hose can be used with the provided adapters to inflate a variety of items. To use the adapters lift up the air chuck clamp, insert your adapter of choice into the air chuck, then press down on the air chuck clamp to secure the adapter in place (Fig 9).

Presta Valve Adapter

Presta valves are commonly used on road bikes and some mountain bikes. To inflate a bicycle tire, you will need to use the Presta valve adapter

1. Loosen the Presta valve locking nut on your bike's valve stem (Fig. 10).
   
2. Thread the female end of the Presta valve adapter onto valve stem of the bicycle tire.
3. Clamp the end of the air chuck down onto the Presta valve adapter by pressing the air chuck clamp down until it locks into place (Fig. 11).
   
4. Set the appropriate PSI according to the bicycle's tire wall. Then short press the power button to initiate inflation (Fig. 3).
5. After inflation, remove the air chuck and tighten the locking nut (Fig. 10).

Sports Ball Needle

Inflate all kinds of sports balls with the Sports ball needle (Fig. 12).

Tapered Nozzles

Inflate small plastic or rubber inflatables such as pool rings, beach balls, air mattresses, travel pillows and more with either of the two provided tapered nozzles (Fig. 13).

USB Power Bank

The Cordless Digital Inflator may also be used as a portable battery bank for remote, on-thego charging of smartphones, tablets, speakers and more. Devices may be charged through the USB-A port (Fig. 14). Charging will start automatically upon connection.

LED Light

The LED button (labelled ) controls the LED light on the top of the inflator (Fig. 15). Follow the table below to activate the three different modes.

Care and Maintenance

Use the included storage bag to protect the digital inflator when not in use.

Store the inflator away from hot surfaces or under direct sunlight to reduce the risk of a short circuit.

Have your device serviced by a qualified repair person using only identical replacement parts.

Do not allow brake fluids, gasoline, petroleum-based products, solvents, etc., come in contact with plastic parts. Chemicals can damage, weaken or destroy plastic, which could result in personal injury.
