FAQs
Does this product come with a battery and charger?
No, this is a 'bare unit' and requires a separate Kielder 18V lithium-ion battery and charger.
How long does it take to inflate a typical car tyre?
It takes just over 1 minute to inflate a 17" tyre (225/45R17) from completely flat.
Can I use this for bicycle tyres or other inflatables?
While primarily designed for car/van tyres, it can be used for other applications if the correct adapter is used and the pressure requirements are within its capabilities.
What is the benefit of the auto shut-off feature?
The auto shut-off technology prevents over-inflation by automatically stopping the inflation process once the preset pressure is reached, ensuring accuracy and safety.
Is the Kielder Pro Tyre Inflator suitable for professional use?
Yes, its powerful performance, robust build, and cordless convenience make it ideal for mobile vehicle technicians and workshops.
How do I maintain the inflator?
Keep the air intake filter clean, store in a dry place, and regularly inspect the hose and connections for any signs of wear.
Troubleshooting
Inflator does not power on.
Ensure a fully charged Kielder 18V battery is correctly inserted. Check battery contacts for dirt or damage.
Low air pressure output.
Check the air intake filter for blockages and clean if necessary. Ensure the air hose connection to the tyre is secure and not leaking.
Auto shut-off is not accurate.
Allow the unit to recalibrate by turning it off and on again. Ensure the target pressure is set correctly before inflation.
Unit stops during operation.
The battery may be low. Try a fully charged battery. Overheating may also cause a temporary shutdown; allow the unit to cool.
