Using a digital tyre inflator is as easy as pie. Here’s a step-by-step guide:

 

1. Start by parking your vehicle on a flat surface and locating the tyre valve.

2. Remove the valve cap and attach the inflator’s nozzle securely.

3. Power up the inflator by plugging it into your car’s 12V outlet, often known as the cigarette lighter socket.

4. Set the desired pressure level on the digital interface.

5. Turn on the inflator and watch as the tyre fills – the device will automatically stop inflating once it reaches the set pressure.

6. Remove the inflator, replace the valve cap, and you’re ready to hit the road again!
