Inflating your car tires with the AVID POWER ACAP322 Dual Power Inflator/Deflator is straightforward. Here's a step-by-step guide:
Step 1: Power Up - You have two power options:
- 12V DC: Plug the cigarette lighter adapter into your car's 12V socket.
- 120V AC: Plug the AC power cord into a standard 120V grounded outlet.
Step 2: Connect to the Tire Valve - Locate your tire's valve stem and attach the air chuck:
- Lift the air chuck clamp to unlock it.
- Place the air chuck onto the valve stem, ensuring the threaded part of the valve stem is inside the chuck.
- Push the clamp down until it's secure and parallel to the hose.
Step 3: Set Your Desired Pressure - Use the digital interface to set the target pressure:
- Press the "PSI" button to see the current tire pressure.
- Press the "PSI" button again to cycle through PSI, KPA, and BAR measurement units.
- Use the "+" or "-" buttons to select the correct pressure for your tires. (Check your car's doorjamb or owner's manual for the recommended PSI).
- The display will flash the set pressure three times, then show the current pressure, confirming your setting.
Step 4: Activate High-Pressure Mode - Move the mode power switch to the right to enable the high-pressure mode, which is designed for inflating car tires.
Step 5: Inflate and Monitor - The AVID POWER ACAP322 will start inflating automatically:
- Keep an eye on the digital gauge until it reaches the preset pressure.
- The inflator will stop automatically when the desired pressure is reached.
Note: To stop inflation at any time, simply switch the high-pressure mode or the AC/DC power switch to the neutral position. For detailed safety information, please consult the AVID POWER ACAP322 Dual Power Inflator/Deflator user manual.
