Connecting the tyre inflator
1. To connect the tyre inflator,
select one of the supplied 1/4”N male Nitto style plugs/adaptors
(21). Apply the supplied Teflon tape to the male thread on the 1/4” male Nitto style plug/ adaptor (21). Screw the 1/4” male Nitto style plug/adaptor (21) into the 1/4” female thread
of the tyre inflator (18). Tighten this fitting with a wrench for an air tight seal (Fig. N).
2.Connect the completed assembled tyre inflator to the air line by pulling back the outer sleeve of the quick coupler at the end of the air hose and insert the tyre inflator assembly. Once inserted, release the outer sleeve of the coupling and make sure the accessory and hose are securely connected.
3.To operate the tyre inflator insert the tyre valve inlet connection into the tyre inflator.
4.Firmly press the tyre inflator down; doing so opens both the valve on the tyre and the valve on in the tyre inflator allowing air to flow through. Use a tyre gauge to check air pressure in the tyres. Check the ratings printed on the side walls of the tyre that you are inflating for reference as to the recommended maximum air pressure requirement. DO NOT EXCEED the maximum pressure ratings on the tyre you are inflating.
IMPORTANT.
•The tyre inflator should only be used for its intended purpose to inflate tyres.
•Do not discharge air through the inflator without it being fitted to a tyre.
•Never apply the outlet of the tyre inflator against a person’s body.
•Never look down the air outlet hole of the inflator.
•Never point the tyre inflator at anyone.
•Do not over inflate the tyres beyond the recommended air pressure from the tyre manufacturer.
