Troubleshooting

Inflator does not turn on.

Check the 12V socket for power and ensure the fuse is intact. Verify the power cable is securely connected to the inflator.

Inflator inflates slowly or not at all.

Check for any kinks or blockages in the air hose. Ensure the connection to the tyre valve is secure. The tyre valve may be faulty; try another tyre.
