◼ Correct tyre pressure is vital for road safety.
◼ Under or overinflated tyres can be dangerous.
◼ Always ensure that regular weekly checks are carried out to the vehicle manufacturer’s
recommended pressures including the spare, but excluding space saver tyres. Always check
before a long journey or after loading or unloading the vehicle.
◼ Always check pressures in an ambient temperature, never immediately after a long journey.
CAUTION
◼ Inspect the tyre inflator before each use.
◼ Do not leave connected to 12V DC socket unattended.
