TROUBLESHOOTING
Inflator does not turn on:
1. The fuse, located in the plug adapter, may have blown. Unscrew
the tip of the plug adapter, remove fuse and inspect. If necessary,
replace fuse with one of the same size and amperage.
2. Check vehicle's power outlet fuse; it should be a minimum of 15 amps.
3. Check receptacle and plug terminals for dirt (particularly tobacco). Use a non-conductive
probe (not fingers or metal) to dislodge and remove debris.
4. Push the power plug firmly into the receptacle and twist it back and forth.
Inflator runs but does not inflate:
1. Be sure the air hose connector is tightly screwed onto the valve stem.
2. Check tire for leaks. Check hose for breaks and leaks at fittings.
Inflator runs slowly:
1. The inflator may have overheated from excessive use. Shut it off and allow it to cool for 35
minutes.
2. The voltage may be too low. Check the condition of your vehicle's battery.
NOTE: If tire is totally deflated, it is possible that the tire could separate from the rim allowing
air to leak out when trying to inflate. In the event this occurs, it may be necessary to jack up the
tire prior to inflation.
