USER MANUAL

TIRE INFLATION GUN OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS 

Your Escapade HD/CD Onboard Air System also comes with a Tire Inflation Gun for airing up tires 

and adding compressed air to any inflatable items with a valve stem. 

1. Using the Tire Inflation Gun:

Using a 1/4" Quick Connect Coupler, connect the Tire Inflation Gun to an air hose and connect to a 

tire valve stem or similar inflation collar by securing the folding lever on the Inflation Gun air chuck. 

2. Filling Tires and other Inflatable Items: 

Squeeze the Inflation Trigger on the Inflation Gun by pressing it towards the handle of the gun. This 

will allow stored air from the air tank to flow through the gun and through the chuck into your tire or 

other inflatable items. 

3. Checking Tire Pressure:

To check tire pressure, release Inflation Trigger on Inflation Gun and allow the needle of the 0-160 

PSI gauge to settle. Tire pressure will be able to be read only when the inflation trigger is released. 

WARNING:

-   Never operate the Inflation Gun at any pressure exceeding 160 PSI. 

-   Use caution when attaching or removing air chuck from valve stems. 

-   Always ensure that tire valve stems are tight before inflating tires. 

-   Be careful to never inflate any tire or other inflatable items past its rated pressure to avoid 

explosion, possible injury, or death. 

Please Note: 

Not intended for use with regular portable compressors or units meant to be operated 

with an open ended air chuck. The Tire Inflation Gun is equipped with a close ended chuck and will 

hold pressure back, which could cause the hose to burst.
