2.3 Tyre Filling
Connect the compressor to the vehicle’s battery or another 12V DC
power supply as in Section 2.1.
NOTE: If the vehicle is in a well ventilated area, leaving the
vehicle running at idle while running the compressor
will give maximum compressor performance and
avoid depleting your vehicle’s battery.
Attach the supplied tyre filler to the air hose coupling by inserting the
male end of the filler into the hose coupling and pressing inward until the
coupling sleeve clicks forward. The sleeve of the coupling does not
need to be pulled back by hand at all.
Press the bottom of the rocker switch down to start and pressurize the
compressor.
NOTE: ARB’s tyre filler attachment is equipped with a
stop valve. Air will not pass through the tyre filler
attachment until it is connected to a tyre valve.
Attach the tyre filler attachment to any standard tyre valve by pushing
the filler onto the tyre valve until a seal is made.
NOTE: The compressor should automatically start
once air passes through the filler.
To stop filling and remove the filler from the valve, push the silver filler
body toward the tyre, then pull back on the black filler collar. This will
release the filler’s grip on the valve.
NOTE: Periodically disconnect the filler and check the tyre
pressure with an automotive tyre pressure gauge.
IMPORTANT:
Do not fill your tyres over the manufacturer’s
specified maximum pressure rating.
To protect the tyre valve, always refit the tyre valve cap once you have
inflated your tyres to the desired pressure.
