120W portable Tire Inflator Air Compressor

To provide you with detailed instructions for a 120W portable tire inflator or air compressor, I would typically need the specific model number or brand of the product. However, I can give you general instructions that apply to most portable tire inflators. Here’s a step-by-step guide on how to use a typical 120W portable air compressor:

1. Check the Product and Power Source

Ensure the inflator is in good condition.

If your model is powered by the car's 12V outlet usually through a lighter port), make sure your vehicle is running to avoid draining the car battery.

2. Connect the Inflator:

• Plug the power cord of the inflator into the 12V DC power socket lighter of your car or into an available 12V power source.
• Some models may also have an AC adapter for household use, so use the appropriate adapter based on your power source.

3. Attach the Air Hose to the Tire Valve:

• Unscrew the valve cap from the tire you want to inflate.
• Attach the air hose the nozzle of the inflator to the valve stem of the tire. Make sure the connection is secure.
• Some models have a lever that you need to press or lock to ensure the nozzle is properly attached.

4. Set the Desired Pressure if applicable

Many models allow you to set a desired PSI pounds per square inch before starting the inflation process.

• Use the built-in pressure gauge to check the current tire pressure.Adjust the pressure setting on the inflator using the controls often a dial or buttons

5. Start the Inflation:

Turn on the air compressor by pressing the "On" button or flipping the switch.

The inflator will begin pumping air into the tire.

Monitor the tire pressure as the air compressor inflates the tire. Some models automatically shut off when they reach the set pressure.

6. Check the Tire Pressure:

• Periodically stop the inflator to check the tire pressure with a separate tire gauge if necessary.
• If your model has an automatic shut-off function, it will stop once the tire reaches the preset pressure.

7. Finish and Detach:

• Once the desired pressure is achieved, turn off the inflator.
• Detach the air hose from the tire valve and screw the valve cap back onto the tire valve.

8. Storage:

• Coil up the power cord and air hose neatly.
• Store the inflator in a dry, cool place, preferably in a carrying case if provided.

Additional Tips:

• Overheating: Allow the inflator to cool down if you are inflating multiple tires or it seems to get hot during use.
• Use During Emergency: A portable inflator is useful in emergencies when you need to inflate a tire on the go. It’s always good to keep a tire pressure gauge and spare tire with you as well.
• Convenience: Plug directly into  Lighter Socket of your Vehicle. 12VDC, 10 to 15 amps, 120 to 180W. Equipped with 12V-DC  Lighter Socket Plug, NOT 110V AC plug.
• Multiple Uses: Inflate tires on cars, bikes, sedan and midsize SUV. Engine size under 3.5 liter Universal valve connector for schrader valve is ready to use. Additional adapters include needles value for basketball, balls short cone/long cone adapters for inflatable kayak, swimming pool accessories, etc
• Capacity: Does NOT Support truck tires, for instance: light truck tires  heavy duty truck tires or any truck tires.
• Easy to Read: 4 Display Units: PSI, KPA, BAR, KG/CM; LED FLASHLIGHT: Bright Torch
• Prevent Over Inflation: Auto shut off when reaching the desired tire pressure. Overheat protection shuts off automatically when overloading.
