FAQs
What is the maximum pressure the Heyner Aerocube can reach?
The Heyner Aerocube can reach a maximum pressure of 10 bar or 150 PSI.
How do I set the desired tire pressure?
Use the buttons on the digital display to increase or decrease the pressure value before turning on the compressor. The compressor will automatically stop when this preset value is reached.
Can I use this compressor on a truck tire?
Yes, the Heyner Aerocube is suitable for cars, 4x4s, vans, and trucks, provided the tire pressure does not exceed the compressor's maximum limit and the vehicle has a 12V socket.
Does it come with different nozzle adapters?
While primarily designed for tire valves, it is suitable for various inflatables. Check the product packaging or manual for included adapters.
How long is the power cord and air hose?
The length of the power cord and air hose are designed for practical use with most standard passenger vehicles. For exact measurements, refer to the product specifications or manual.
Is the LED light always on?
No, the LED light is operated by a separate button and can be turned on or off as needed, making it useful for low-light conditions without draining battery power unnecessarily.
What should I do if the compressor gets hot?
It is normal for the compressor to generate heat during use. If it becomes excessively hot, turn it off and allow it to cool down completely before resuming use.
Troubleshooting
Compressor does not turn on
Ensure the 12V plug is fully inserted into a working cigarette lighter socket. Check the vehicle's fuse for the accessory socket. Verify the engine or ignition is on.
Pressure gauge is inaccurate
Allow the compressor to inflate the tire for a few seconds to get a stable reading. Ensure the hose is securely connected to the valve without leaks. Deflate and re-inflate, checking readings at intervals.
Compressor stops prematurely
Check if a pressure limit was accidentally set lower than the current tire pressure. Ensure the unit is not overheating; allow it to cool down if necessary.
Air hose connection leaks
Ensure the screw-on connector is tightened properly onto the tire valve. Check the rubber seal on the connector for damage and replace if necessary.
