8.1
Use
Connect the inflation gun 2
to the compressor as explained in chapter “6 - CONNECTING
THE ACCESSORIES TO THE COMPRESSOR”
When inflating tires or certain bicycle tires, it is not necessary to insert any of the adapters
(fig. 5). Press tab E (fig. 3) and connect the hose of the gun to the tire pushing the fitting
on the valve and then releasing the tab.
Regulate working pressure to the value indicated for this accessory (see table 1)
Inflate the tire pressing lever F (fig. 4). Release the lever and read the pressure reached
on gauge G of the gun. Repeat the operation until the pressure required is obtained (do
not exceed the recommended inflation pressure indicated in table 1). In the case of over-
inflation, press button H to reduce inflation pressure.
Warning: do not hold down the lever too long before checking the pressure reached as
this could cause explosion of the object being inflated.
When inflating footballs, rubber dinghies, certain bicycle tires and children’s inflatable
swimming-pools, you may have to use a suitable adapter (fig. 5).
Adapter 8 is used for footballs
Adapter 9 is used for rubber dinghies, air beds and children’s swimmingpools
Adapter 10 is used for certain bicycles
Select the suitable adapter and push it in the inflation hose pressing tab E (fig. 6). Once it is
inserted, release tab E.
To secure the adapter, turn it slightly in a clockwise direction
Inflate the object concerned as described in point 4.
8.2
Tips for using the inflation gun
Use the inflation gun at least once every two weeks in order to check that your tires are at the
right pressure; this promotes fuel economy, increases the service life of your tires and
improves safety as it reduces braking distances and improves handling of the vehicle.
8.3
Maintenance
Do not clean the inflation gun and adapters with solvents or flammable or toxic liquids.
