Inflating with the Air Hose
The air chuck on the air hose can be used without adapters to
inflate tires or with any item with a valve stem that fits the air
chuck opening.
1. Place air chuck on valve stem (Fig. 3).
2. Push air chuck down so that the threaded section of the
valve stem is inside the air chuck (Fig. 3).
3. Clamp the end of the air chuck down onto the valve stem
by pressing air chuck clamp down until it stops or is
parallel with the air hose.
4. To remove, lift air chuck clamp and remove air chuck from
valve stem (Fig. 4).
Inflating with the Air Hose and Adapters
The air hose can be used with the provided adapters to inflate
a variety of items.
1. Insert adapter into air chuck and push air clamp down
until it locks into place (Fig. 5).
2. To remove, lift air chuck clamp and remove adapter from
air chuck (Fig. 5).
Adapter Functions (Fig. 6)
• The tapered adapter can be used on smaller air valves to
inflate items like floats and children's toys, which usually
require the user to inflate them by blowing air into them.
• The sport ball needle can be used to inflate any type of
sports ball or any other item that requires a sport ball
needle.
• The Presta valve adapter can be used to inflate Presta valve
stem tires as shown. Before inflating a tire with a Presta
valve, loosen the locking nut to inflate. Once inflation is
complete, tighten the locking nut to seal the tire valve.
To use the Presta valve adapter:
1. Loosen Presta valve locking nut (Fig. 7).
2. Thread Presta valve adapter onto valve stem with larger
open end toward wheel (Fig. 8).
3. Clamp the end of the air chuck down onto the Presta
valve adapter by pressing air chuck clamp down until it
locks into place (Fig. 8).
4. After inflation, remove air chuck and tighten locking nut
(Fig. 7).
