Quick Troubleshooting

1. Inflator Does Not Operate

1. Check the battery level on the display.
2. If the battery is low, connect the supplied Type-C charging cable.
3. Use a 5V USB adapter for charging.
4. Allow approximately 4–5 hours for a full charge.
5. Press and hold the Power Button for 3 seconds to turn ON the inflator.

2. Inflator Switches OFF Automatically

• The inflator switches OFF after 90 seconds in standby.
• The inflator switches OFF after 2 minutes of empty inflation.

Turn the inflator ON again when required. Ensure the air hose is correctly connected before starting inflation.

3. Pressure Setting Appears Incorrect

1. Check the pressure unit shown on the display.
2. Press and hold the Mode Button for 2 seconds to enter unit switching mode.
3. Select the required unit: PSI, Bar, kPa or kg/cm².
4. Check the preset pressure again before starting inflation.

The manual warns that selecting the wrong pressure unit may cause over-inflation and a tyre blowout.

4. Inflation Pressure Is Not as Expected

1. Check that the selected inflation mode matches the object.
2. Confirm the pressure unit.
3. Check the preset pressure value.
4. Adjust the target using + or −.
5. Confirm that the target is within the selected mode's adjustable range.

5. Inflator Becomes Unusually Hot

1. Shut down the product immediately if its temperature becomes too high.
2. Do not touch the air outlet or hose during use or immediately after use.
3. Allow the product to cool before handling the hose or air outlet.
4. Do not leave the inflator operating unattended.

The manual states that the built-in DC motor may become warm during use.

6. Abnormal Noise During Operation

1. Shut down the inflator immediately if abnormal noise occurs.
2. Stop the inflation process.
3. Do not continue operating the product while the abnormal condition persists.

The manual does not provide a specific component-level repair procedure for abnormal noise.

7. Inflator Cannot Be Used Cordlessly

If the battery is low, use the supplied auxiliary power cable for corded operation in a car.

1. Start the car.
2. Connect the auxiliary power cable to the car's cigarette-lighter socket.
3. Connect the other end to the power connection at the bottom of the inflator.
4. Connect the air hose and operate the inflator.

8. Battery Needs Charging or Long-Term Storage

1. Charge the product using the Type-C charging cable and a 5V USB adapter.
2. Allow approximately 4–5 hours for charging.
3. If the product is not used for a long time, charge it at least once every three months.
4. The manual also recommends monthly charging to help prolong battery life.

Battery display indications:

• 1 bar flashing: 0% to below 30%.
