Usage Features

The HIMO Mini Inflator is designed for straightforward and user-friendly operation.

Installation and Setup:

Valve Compatibility: The inflator supports both Schrader and Presta valves, which are common on bicycles.
Accessory Installation: For items like balls or inflatable toys, the appropriate air needle (ball-type or balloon-type) needs to be taken out from its storage compartment.
Attaching the Needle: The chosen air needle is then installed into the valve opening of the inflator.
Locking Mechanism: After installing the air needle, the lock mechanism on the inflator should be opened.
Connecting to Item: The air needle is then inserted into the air hole of the item to be inflated.

Inflation Process:

Align and Lock: To begin inflation, align the inflator's valve with the valve of the item to be inflated and securely lock it in place.
Open Handle: Open the handle of the inflator.
Pump: Hold the handle tightly and pull it to pump air into the item. This manual action generates the necessary air pressure.
Restore: Once the item is sufficiently inflated, put away the handle and restore the lock mechanism to secure the inflator.

Storage of Valve and Handle: The inflator features integrated storage for its valve and handle, ensuring that all components are kept together and the device remains compact when not in use. The handle can be folded down, and the valve can be securely stored within the body of the inflator.

Applicable Scenarios: The inflator is suitable for various activities and items, including:

Cycling (for bicycle tires)
Basketball (for inflating basketballs)
Balloon products (for cheering or decorative balloons)

Storage Environment: To ensure the longevity and proper functioning of the HIMO Mini Inflator, specific storage conditions are recommended:

Cool and Dry: Store the inflator in a cool place, away from direct sunlight exposure.
Avoid High Temperatures: Keep it away from heating sources to prevent excessive aging of the rubber parts, which are crucial for its sealing and pumping efficiency.
Upright Storage: It should be stored upright, and heavy objects should not be placed on top of it. This prevents the barrel from deforming, which could impair its function.
Cleanliness: Avoid all kinds of stains. If the inflator becomes stained during use, it should be washed immediately with soap. Alcohol should not be used for cleaning, as it may damage the materials.

Maintenance Features

Regular maintenance is crucial for extending the life and ensuring the efficient operation of the HIMO Mini Inflator.

Piston Overheating Prevention: When pumping air, especially for extended periods, it is recommended to make necessary intervals. This allows the piston to cool down and prevents overheating, which can prolong the life of the piston and the overall device.
