USING THE TYRE INFLATOR
1. Always inspect the tyre inflator before use to ensure the high pressure hose
is in good condition.
2. Connect the air hose to the tyre
inflator by screwing the hose into
the end of the tyre inflator.
3. Connect the other end of the air
hose to the valve stem of the item
you are inflating.
• An adaptor is supplied for inflating
sport balls including soccer,
basketballs and footballs.
NOTE: When inflating items of 10
PSI or less, inflate in short bursts and check after each burst by
feel or with a calibrated measuring device to determine
accurate pressure. Pressure required for most sports balls is too low
for accurate reading on tool gauge.
4. Connect power to the tyre inflator using options on page 6.
• The manufacturer set pressure is 35 PSI and this tyre inflator has memory
function. The gauge will indicate units and value.
5. Press "SET" button to choose the
desired unit (PSI,BAR,KPA,kg/cm
6. Press "-" or "+" button to choose
the desired value. Press and hold
or "+" button will accelerate

depressed. In this way, inflation
continues without pressing any
button. To stop, simply squeeze
the trigger to release the locking
switch.
NOTE: Note that the tyre inflator has
a 10 minute running/10
minutes resting duty cycle.
• When the desired pressure is reached, the tyre inflator will stop working
as it has pre-set function. when the desired the pressure is reached,
the reading may have a +/- 3.0 PSI difference. (This is normal)
8. After use, loosen the hose and remove from the tyre inflator.
WARNING: THE HOSE WILL BE HOT AFTER USE. REMOVE CAREFULLY.
WARNING: IMPROPERLY ATTACHED HOSES OR ACCESSORIES CAN
BECOME DETACHED UNDER PRESSURE AND CAUSE SERIOUS INJURY.
POSSIBLE AIR LEAKS CAN CAUSE FAULTY PRESSURE READINGS. MAKE
SURE ALL CONNECTIONS ARE TIGHTLY SECURED.
WARNING: THE GAUGE IS ONLY TO BE USED AS A REFERENCE, ALWAYS
CARRY OUT A FINAL CHECK OF THE TYRE PRESSURE WITH A GAUGE
CONFORMING TO BS EN 12645.
• When not in use, adaptors provided with the compressor can be clipped
to the storage area on the top of the compressor.
TYRE INFLATION
1. Fix the tyre valve connector onto
the vehicle tyre valve, ensuring
the valve is clean.
• When connected correctly, the
digital display will show the
current pressure in the tyre. If this is
the correct tyre pressure as stated
in your vehicle handbook, remove
the valve connector.
2. If the tyre is below the
recommended pressure (as specified in your vehicle handbook), press
either the ‘-’ or ‘+’ pre-set button to adjust the pre-set value on the display
to the correct tyre pressure.

Parts & Service: 020 8988 7400 / E-mail: [email protected] or [email protected]
Page 9
NOTE: The unit will default to the last tyre pressure set. You can then
adjust this using the ‘-’ or ‘+’ buttons.
3. Press the Power Switch to 'ON'.
4. The tyre inflator will now inflate your tyre to the pre-set pressure and switch
off automatically when the pressure is reached. Towards final inflation, the
tyre pressure display reading will be slightly higher than the selected
pressure. When the tyre inflator stops, the final reading will be the selected
pressure. This is a normal function of the unit.
5. Switch OFF the tyre inflator and remove the tyre valve connector from the
tyre valve, returning the hose to its storage position.
IMPORTANT: The ‘-’ or ‘+’ buttons should never be pressed while the tyre
inflator is running.
If you leave the tyre inflator connected to the 12V supply but do not inflate the
tyre, after a few minutes the Digital Display will switch off. To turn back on,
press the Pressure Format Select Button.
• When inflating tyres with normal “Schrader” valves, no adaptors need to
be fitted to the hose.
• Presta valves require the adaptor to be screwed onto the valve before
attaching the hose.
6. Avoid inflating the objects above the recommended inflation pressure. This
could lead to damage and /or injuries.
MAINTENANCE
Keep the tyre inflator free of dirt and dust as far as possible. Wipe with a clean
cloth or blow it down with compressed air at low pressure. Do not use cleaning
agents or solvents as these may be aggressive to the plastic parts. Ensure that
no water can get into the interior of the tyre inflator
Your CLARKE tyre inflator has been designed to give long and trouble free
