Troubleshooting

Compressor not turning on

Ensure the 12V power plug is securely inserted into a functional power socket. Check the vehicle's fuse for the power outlet. Verify the engine is running.

Slow or no inflation

Check that the hose connector is securely attached to the tire valve. Ensure the valve itself is not blocked. Inspect the hose for leaks or damage. Verify the tyre pressure isn't already at or above the compressor's maximum output.

Compressor stops during use

The unit may have an automatic thermal cut-out. Allow it to cool down for 10-15 minutes before attempting to use it again. Ensure the power source is stable.

Leaking air from the hose connection

Ensure the quick-release valve on the hose is fully engaged. Check the seal on the valve and replace if necessary. Make sure the correct adaptor is being used.
