vehicle is parked in a safe location, off the road, with the vehicle handbrake on and where
your personal safety is not at risk.
This inflator should ONLY be used for car tyres up to 40 psi (do not inflate spare tyres)
and bicycle tyres up to 100psi. It should not be used for tyres that require a high
volume / high pressure. Only suitable for vehicles with a negative earth. Check your
vehicle owner’s manual.

 The inflator contains no user serviceable parts – DO NOT OPEN.
 Never allow children to use this tyre inflator.
 Inspect the tyre inflator before each use.
 Do not use the inflator if bent, broken, melted, burnt, wet or any of the
components are damaged.
 Do not leave connected to 12V DC socket unattended.
 Do not kink or block the air hose while the inflator is working.
 Never overinflate.
 Under or overinflated tyres can be dangerous.
 Never run for more than 8 minutes. After each 8 minute run allow inflator to cool
down.
 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.

The MICHELIN 12V Micro Tyre Inflator is a compact and portable device designed for inflating car and bicycle tyres. It features a digital gauge for precise pressure readings and a 12V power plug for vehicle compatibility.

Function Description

The primary function of the device is to inflate tyres. It operates by connecting to a vehicle's 12V power socket and then attaching its high-pressure air hose to the tyre valve. The digital display shows the current tyre pressure, allowing users to inflate to the desired level. A key feature is the integrated Digital Power Source (DPS™) with a 5V USB outlet, enabling the charging of mobile devices. The device is activated via an On/Off button and allows users to select their preferred pressure format (Bar, psi, or kPa) using a dedicated button.

Important Technical Specifications

• Maximum Pressure:
  • 40 psi for car tyres
  • 100 psi for bicycle tyres
• Pressure Accuracy: +/- 1 psi up to 50 psi
• Pressure Resolution: Bar / psi / kPa
• Maximum Current: 6A / 72W
• Fuse Size: 10A glass
• Hose Length: 14 cm (approx.) high-pressure air hose with tyre valve connector
• Power Cord Length: 280 cm (approx.) detachable power cord
• USB Outlet: 5V, 0.5A rating for charging mobile devices
• Display: White LCD digital display

Usage Features

The inflator is designed for ease of use with several user-friendly features:

• Digital Gauge: A clear white LCD digital display provides real-time pressure readings, ensuring accurate inflation.
• Pressure Unit Selection: Users can easily switch between Bar, psi, and kPa units using the dedicated button. This button also serves as a reset function.
• Simple Connection: The device connects to a vehicle's 12V power socket. The power cord is detachable for convenient storage.
• Tyre Valve Connector: A screw-on connector ensures a secure fit to the tyre valve, minimizing air leakage during inflation.
• USB Charging Port: An integrated 5V USB port allows for convenient charging of mobile devices, adding versatility to the unit.
• Compact Design: The micro size makes it easy to store and transport.

Maintenance Features

The MICHELIN 12V Micro Tyre Inflator requires minimal maintenance, but certain checks are crucial for its longevity and safe operation:

• Fuse Replacement: The 12V power plug contains a replaceable 10A glass fuse. To replace, the knurled ring on the plug must be undone anti-clockwise.
• Pre-Use Inspection: Users should inspect the inflator before each use for any signs of damage, such as bends, breaks, melting, burns, or wetness.
• Cool-Down Period: The inflator should not be run for more than 8 minutes continuously. After each 8-minute run, it must be allowed to cool down to prevent overheating.
• Power Cord and Plug Check: Regularly ensure the power lead is uncoiled to its full length during use and that the 12V socket is clean and free of debris. The 12V plug components should be tight and clean.
• Troubleshooting Guide: The manual provides a comprehensive troubleshooting guide for common issues like the gauge not illuminating, the unit failing to run, the power lead/plug becoming hot, incorrect or unreadable gauge readings, or the unit running but not inflating. This includes steps for resetting the gauge if it reads "0.0" or "ERR".
• Tyre Valve Connector Check: Ensure the tyre valve connector is correctly fitted to both the tyre valve and the inflator's hose for proper operation.

Safety Guidelines

The manual emphasizes several safety warnings:

• No User Serviceable Parts: The inflator contains no user-serviceable parts and should not be opened.
• Child Safety: Children should never be allowed to use the tyre inflator.
• Supervision: Do not leave the inflator connected to the 12V DC socket unattended.
• Hose Management: Avoid kinking or blocking the air hose while the inflator is working.
• Overinflation: Never overinflate tyres, as under or overinflated tyres can be dangerous.
• Vehicle Parking: Always ensure the vehicle is parked in a safe location, off the road, with the handbrake on, and where personal safety is not at risk.
• Tyre Type Restriction: This inflator is ONLY for car tyres up to 40 psi (excluding spare tyres) and bicycle tyres up to 100 psi. It is not suitable for tyres requiring high volume/high pressure. It is only for vehicles with a negative earth.
• Regular Tyre Checks: Always perform regular weekly checks of tyre pressures according to the vehicle manufacturer's recommendations, including the spare (but excluding space saver tyres). Checks should also be done before long journeys or after loading/unloading the vehicle, and always in ambient temperature, never immediately after a long journey.
