How to operate a portable air compressor/tire inflator

🔌 1. Plug into Power Source

•Take the plug (the one that looks like a car charger) and insert it into your car’s 12V cigarette lighter socket.

•Make sure your car ignition is on so the socket has power.

 

 

 

🛞 2. Connect to Tire Valve

•Unscrew the cap on your tire’s valve stem.

•Take the hose end with the metal connector and press it firmly onto the valve.

•Lock it by flipping the small lever (usually upward or downward depending on the model) to secure the connection.

 

 

 

📈 3. Set Desired Pressure (if it has digital/auto shut-off)

•If your inflator has a digital display, use the “+” and “–” buttons to set your desired pressure in PSI, BAR, or kPa.

•Common car tire pressure is around 30–35 PSI (check your car manual or driver-side door sticker for the correct number).

 

 

 

▶️ 4. Turn on the Inflator

•Switch on the power button (usually marked with “ON/OFF” or a symbol).

•The compressor will start pumping air into the tire.

•Watch the pressure gauge or display as it fills.

 

 

 

⏹️ 5. Stop When Done

•If it’s an automatic model, it will stop at the set pressure.

•If manual, turn it off once the gauge reaches the correct pressure.

 

 

 

🔚 6. Disconnect and Pack Up

•Flip the lever to release the hose from the valve stem.

•Screw the valve cap back on your tire.

•Unplug the device from your car.

•Wrap the cords and hose neatly for storage.
