CAUTION:

Inflating something too much can make it
explode, and you or others could be injured.
Be sure to read the inflator instructions, and
inflate the tire to its recommended pressure.
Do not exceed 36 psi (248 kPa).

7. Move the inflator kit switch to the I (on) position.

8. Make sure there is a proper connection between the

tire valve stem and the air compressor hose by
looking at the air pressure gage. If there is not a
pressure reading while the compressor is running,
the connection between the inflator kit and the
tire is bad.

Check the attachment between the air compressor
hose and the tire valve stem.

9. Inflate the tire up to the recommended inflation

pressure using the air pressure gage on the top
of the unit as a guide.

10. Turn off the air compressor by moving the switch to

the O (off) position.
