Detecting Air Pressure

The current air pressure will automatically be displayed after the high-pressure air hose is connected to an item while the air compressor is turned on. Mini offers a pressure measuring range of 3 to 200 psi.

Determining the Right Air Pressure

To ensure safety and to prevent injuries from explosions due to over-inflation, always refer to the instructions or relevant directions accompanying the item to be inflated before inflating it, in order to determine the correct air pressure.

Tires

The range of air pressure that the tires of bicycles, electric bikes, some motorcycles, and scooters can withstand is marked on the sidewall of the tire.

Inflation pressure is related to the weight of the load. For more details on the recommended air pressure, please refer to the corresponding product manual.

Air Pressure Reference Table

Note: Pressure range values are for reference only. Always refer to the instructions or manual of the item being inflated for actual inflation pressure specifications. Unit conversion:
1 bar = 14.5 psi, 1 bar = 100 kPa, 1 psi = 1 lbs. (The data above is from the QiCYCLE lab.)

Pressure Presets

Inflation Pressure Range
The pressure value is in psi, with an adjustable range of 3–150 psi.

Adjusting Preset Values

The preset pressure can be adjusted before inflation. Press "+" or "-" to adjust the preset pressure value. Press and hold "+" or "-" to quickly adjust the pressure value.

When adjusting a preset pressure, the blinking value indicates the target pressure, and a non-blinking value indicates the real-time pressure. The numerical value can be stored in memory. The air pressure value set for the previous inflation will be displayed on startup.

Inflating

Start Inflating
Press the start/stop button to start inflating. The current pressure is displayed in real-time while inflating. During inflation, approximately 72dB of noise will be generated. Please take note to use some protection. After prolonged use, the high pressure air hose, air nozzle connector and the body will have a significant temperature increase, avoid touching it for a long time.

Stop Inflating
When the air pressure reaches the preset value, the inflator will automatically stop inflating. During inflation, you can briefly press the ON/OFF button to stop the inflation process.

The inflation pressure of products such as balloons, toy balls, swimming tubes, etc. is lower than the range of the portable inflator. It cannot automatically stop inflation through the preset pressure, so it needs to be used with caution.

Battery Information
Under the condition of full power and 25°C of ambient temperature, the continuous working time of the inflator without load is about 60 minutes. Increased pressure load and lower ambient temperature will cause a poor endurance.

Disconnecting the Air Hose

Once inflation is done, the temperature of the high-pressure air hose and valve adapter will be relatively high. Do be careful not to get scalded when disassembling the valve. There will be slight air leakage during disassembly, please operate quickly to reduce the leakage.

Residual risks
Even when the power tool is used as prescribed it is not possible to eliminate all residual risk factors. The following hazards may arise in connection with the power tool's construction and design:

1. Damage to lungs if an effective dust mask is not worn.
2. Damage to hearing if effective hearing protection is not worn.
3. Damages to health resulting from vibration emission if the power tool is being used over longer period of time or not adequately managed and properly maintained.

This power tool produces an electromagnetic field during operation. This field may under some circumstances interfere with active or passive medical implants. To reduce the risk of serious or fatal injury, we recommend persons with medical implants to consult their physician and the medical implant manufacturer before operating this machine.
