Note: When you have finished inflating an item, the manual mode will remeber the target pressure value as its default pressure value. For the best inflating experience, we suggest you inflate items like balls via the ball mode.

Adjusting the Preset Pressure

After selecting a mode, press + or – to increase or decrease the target pressure value. Press and hold the + or – button to quickly adjust the pressure value.

LIGHT

Press the light button to turn the inflator’s light on/off. The light makes it easy to see in the dark when you have on any tasks, such as connecting the air compressor to a valve. When the light is on, press the light button to cycle through Spotlight, SOS and OFF.
Note: After 30 minutes, the light will automatically turn off.

INFLATING

Start Inflating
Press the Power button to start inflating. When inflating, the air compressor may be as loud as 75 – 80 dB.
Please take appropriate precautions to protect your hearing. The air compressor and air tube can get very hot after running for a while. Avoid prolonged skin contact with the tube to prevent injuries.
Stop Inflating
Once the target pressure value has been reached, the inflator will automatically stop inflating. The inflator can also be manually stopped at any time by pressing the power button while inflating.

Caution
Items such as balloons, beach balls, and swim rings cannot be automatically inflated because they have an air pressure requirement below the air compressor’s minimum pressure range. Only inflate these items manually with caution.

Battery Information
The inflator’s battery lasts about 40 minutes on a full charge, running without a load at an ambient temperature of 25°C. Using the air compressor under a heavy load or at lower ambient temperatures may reduce its battery life.

DISCONNECTING THE AIR TUBE

The air compressor’s air hose may get very hot after inflating. To prevent injuries, exercise caution when disconnecting it from a valve. Some air may leak out of the valve when disconnecting the air compressor. To avoid pressure loss, quickly disconnect the air hose from the valve.

POWER BANK FUNCTION

This inflator can be used as a 5V/2A power bank when it is not being charged or inflating other devices. The battery needs to have a reasonable level of charge in order to work as a power bank.
Note: The inflator should be turned on when being used as a power bank. When being used as a power bank, the inflator will enter “Energy Saving” mode if inactive for 3 minutes, and the screen will only display the battery level icon. In energy saving mode, when disconnecting the charged device from the inflator, it will automatically turn off.

TROUBLESHOOTING

Problem Solution
