TROUBLESHOOTING

Inflator fails to operate when plugged in

1. The fuse, located in the plug adaptor, may have blown.
2. Unscrew the tip of the plug adaptor, remove fuse, and inspect (if necessary, replace fuse with one of the same ampeage).

Inflator does not start or blows fuses

1. Push the power plug firmly into the receptacle and twist it back and forth.
2. Check receptacle and plug terminals for dirt, particularly tobacco. (Use a non-conductive probe, not fingers or metal)
3. Check vehicle power outlet fuse, should be 15 amps minimum.

Inflator runs but does not inflate

1. Be sure the connector is on the valve stem as far as possible before closing locking lever.
2. Check tire for leaks, and check hose for breaks and leaks at fittings.

Inflator runs slowly

1. Overheated from excessive use, shut it off and allow to cool for 25 minutes.
2. Voltage too low, check condition of battery.

NOTE: If tire is totally deflated, it is possible that the tire could separate from the rim allowing air to leak out when trying to inflate. In the event this situation occurs, you will have to jack up the tire prior to inflation.
Dispose of this product at an e-waste recycling collection point or facility. Do not place in the trash or standard recycling receptacle.

Keep inflator out of reach of children. Always use a tire gauge to check the actual pressure in tires. Do not over-inflate tire.
