FAQs

What size CO2 cartridges does the AirBooster 16G use?

The AirBooster 16G is designed to work with all standard threaded CO2 cartridges, typically 12g, 16g, or 25g sizes.

Can I use this on both road and mountain bike tires?

Yes, the AirBooster is compatible with both Presta and Schrader valves, making it suitable for road, mountain, and hybrid bicycle tires.

How do I control the amount of air released?

The AirBooster features an adjustable flow mechanism. You can control the release of CO2 by pushing the lever or activating the mechanism as needed to achieve your desired tire pressure.

Does it come with a CO2 cartridge?

Yes, the product description indicates it includes a threaded CO2 cartridge and a protective sleeve.

How do I store the AirBooster after use?

It is recommended to remove the CO2 cartridge after use if not immediately refilling. Store the AirBooster with its integrated dust cap on, in a dry place.

Is the protective sleeve reusable?

Yes, the silicone protective sleeve is reusable and designed to protect your hand from the cold generated by the CO2 release.

What is the advantage of CO2 over regular pump air?

CO2 inflates tires much faster than a traditional pump, making it ideal for quick roadside repairs. However, CO2 can leak through tire casings more quickly than air over extended periods.

Troubleshooting

CO2 cartridge not puncturing

Ensure the cartridge is screwed in completely. Check that the valve head is fully engaged with the CO2 cartridge.

Air leaks around the valve stem

Ensure the AirBooster is firmly seated on the valve. Check the valve itself for damage or ensure it's properly seated.

No CO2 released when activating

Verify the CO2 cartridge is not empty. Ensure the inflation lever or mechanism is properly engaged.

Protective sleeve slipping off

Ensure both the inflator and the sleeve are dry. Re-seat the sleeve firmly.
