Extended Product Information

FAQs

What battery type does the Makita MP001GZ use?

The inflator is powered by Makita's 36V (40Vmax) slide-type lithium-ion battery system. Batteries and chargers are sold separately.

How fast is the inflation speed?

It offers the world's fastest filling speed among rechargeable air pumps from power tool manufacturers. For example, it can inflate a normal car tire (0-250 kPa) in approximately 2 minutes and 45 seconds with a BL4040 battery.

Can this inflator be used for truck tires?

Yes, it is suitable for passenger cars and small truck tires, capable of reaching a maximum pressure of 11.1 bar (161 psi).

Does it come with different nozzle adapters?

Yes, it includes standard accessories like an American type valve adapter (pre-installed), an English style valve adapter, a French style valve adapter, a ball adapter, and a float adapter.

How do I prevent the inflator from overheating?

The inflator has a built-in temperature protection function that automatically stops the motor if the temperature becomes too high. Allow the unit to cool down if this occurs.

Is there a light on the inflator?

Yes, it features an integrated LED light to illuminate the work area, making it easier to use in low-light conditions.

What is the purpose of the decompression function?

The decompression function allows you to quickly reduce air pressure, which is useful if you have over-inflated a tire or need to lower the pressure for specific applications.

Troubleshooting

Inflator does not turn on.

Ensure the 40V Max XGT battery is fully charged and correctly inserted into the tool. Check if the battery contacts are clean.

Low air pressure output or slow inflation.

Check the hose and adapter connections for leaks. Ensure the selected fill mode is appropriate for the task. Inspect the intake filter for any blockages.

Device stops unexpectedly during use.

This is likely due to the temperature protection function. Allow the inflator and battery to cool down for a period before resuming use. Ensure adequate ventilation during operation.

Digital display is not visible.

Check the battery charge level. Ensure the backlight is activated if applicable. Clean the display screen with a soft cloth.

Adapter does not seal properly on the valve.

Ensure the correct adapter is being used for the valve type. Check the adapter and valve for damage or debris that may prevent a proper seal.
