NOTE: It takes about 3 hours to fully charge the inflator

Using the inflator to charge your devices

This inflator can also be used as a power bank to charge your electronic devices

1. Press the Powerbutton once to turn the power bank on, and only the battery power indicator on the display will be lit.
2. Directly connect the USB charging cable (USB-Lighting/USB-Micro USB/ USB-Type C charging cable) to the USB port of the inflator, and the other end to the charging port of your device.
   

NOTE: If there is no use within 30 seconds of the power bank being turned on, it will automatically turn off.

Powering on / off

To power on the inflator, press the Power button   **for 1 second, and the display screen will turn on.
To power off the inflator, press the Power button for 1 second again.
NOTE:** If there is no use within 100 seconds of the inflator being powered on, it will automatically power off.

Inflating

Step 1. Connecting the inflator

Note: Before connection, put the sealing rings on the inflating connectors of the included air hose and your inflatables.

1. Screw one end of the included air hose into the air hose port of your inflator.
2. Take the dust cap off the tire you’re inflating (car, bike etc). Screw the other end of the air hose onto the valve connector on the tire, and ensure it is properly connected, without over tightening it.
   

NOTE: If the tire has a Presta valve connector (French valve connector), then you need to install a Schrader valve adapter (American valve adapter) to the valve connector first, before connecting the air hose.

For any inflatables whose valve connector does not fit the air hose, such as a ball, pool float, etc., install the included valve adapters to the air hose first. Once connected, plug the air hose with the adapter into the valve connector of your inflatables.

Step 2. Presettings

Setting inflation mode
Turn on the inflator, and press the Mode button repeatedly to select your desired inflation mode. The inflation mode icon and its default pressure value will show on the screen.
Car mode

Motorcycle mode

Bicycle mode

Ball mode

Others mode

Setting pressure unit

After setting the inflating mode, you can set the desired pressure unit.

1. Press and hold the Inflation Mode Button until the pressure unit flashes on the display screen.
2. Then repeatedly press the Inflation Mode button ****to select your desired pressure unit, and wait for about 3 seconds until the pressure unit stops flashing.

Setting target pressure value

After setting the inflation mode and pressure unit, you may need to slightly adjust the preset pressure. Refer to the instruction manual of your inflatable, or the pressure table shown below.
Press the “Pressure Up” or “Pressure Down” button / to adjust the
pressure. For quick setting, you can press and hold the two buttons until it reaches the target pressure. Then wait for about three seconds until the pressure display goes back to the current pressure of the connected inflatable.

Inflatables pressure table (Only for reference)

Product Category| Product Type| Default/ Adjustable Pressure Range (PSI)| Recommended Pressure Range (PSI)
---|---|---|---
Car| Small car tire| 36/26-45| 32-40
Motorcycle| Motorcycle, electronic motorcycle tire| 36/26-45| 26~44
Bicycle| 12 – 16 inch bicycle tire| 45/30-65| 30~50
20 – 24 inch bicycle tire| 45/30-65| 40~50
26 -29 inch mountain bike tire| 45/30-65| 45~65
700c road bike open tire| 45/30-65| 100~130
700c road bike tire| 45/30-65| 120~145

Others| Others| 3/3-120| 3-120

Step 4. Start inflating

Place the inflator on flat surface. Press the Power button to start inflating.
The display screen will show the real-time pressure. When the tire reaches the preset pressure, the inflator will automatically stop inflating.

• During inflation, you can also manually stop inflation by pressing the Power button , and press again to continue.

Step 5. Disconnect the inflator
Disconnect the air hose and adapter from your tire or ball, then tighten the dust cap back in place. Turn your inflator off, and allow it to cool for a few minutes (During the cooling process, do not unscrew the air hose from the inflator, so you don’t touch the heated air hose connector.).

• During inflation, we suggest you touch the inflatables to check its status from time to time.
• If the tire or ball is overinflated by accident, you’ll need to deflate. To deflate, you just connect the air hose to the inflatables, and wait until it deflates.

Using the flashlight

• When you inflate at night, you can press the Flashlight button to turn the flashlight on. Press it again to turn it off.

NOTES:

• When inflation is completed, please quickly remove the air hose and the valve adapter from your inflatables to avoid air leaking.
• The pressure required by balloons, pool floats, or other children’s toys may be lower than the pressure minimum of the inflator, and the inflator won’t automatically stop even when the inflatable is fully inflated. You can try to manually inflate these items by press the Power button .
• The inflator will keep the last set pressure unit and the pressure the next time it is turned on.
• If overheat or air leakage occur during inflation, the Overheat and Air leakage icon will light up on the display screen.
• If the sealing ring on the air hose gets degraded or damaged in any way, please replace it with a new one.

Troubleshooting

1. The battery power may be low. Charge your inflator.
2. The air hose is leaking or not properly connected. Tighten the air hose to your inflatables and the flator.
3. The inflatable is leaking. Repair or replace it.

Cannot inflate|

1. The battery may be low. Charge your inflator.
2. The current pressure is higher than the set pressure. Reset the target pressure value.
