■
Integrated Reflective System.
■
2 Designs, available in various sizes.
Thank you for purchasing the Michelin High-power Rapid Tyre Inflator.
Please read the operating instructions carefully before using your tyre inflator.
Only suitable for vehicles with a negative earth. Check your vehicle owners manual.
■
The inflator is for use with car tyres up to 40psi (do not inflate space saver tyres), and bicycle tyres up to 120psi.
■
When inflating vehicle tyres, this inflator should ONLY be used for car tyres and bicycle tyres. Low pressure items such as sports balls and small inflatable toys may also be inflated using the adaptors provided.
Max power requirement during normal use: 7.5 AMPS / 96 WATTS.
WARNING! COMPRESSED AIR CAN BE DANGEROUS
■
Never allow children to use this tyre inflator.
■
Never leave unattended when running.
■
Never over inflate.
■
Always use in a safe area away from traffic and other dangers.
■
Never run for more than 10 minutes. After each 10 minutes run allow inflator to cool for 10 minutes.
WARNING! ENSURE CORRECT TYRE PRESSURES
■
Correct tyre pressure is vital for road safety.
■
Under or over inflated tyres can be dangerous.
■
Always ensure that regular weekly checks are carried out to the vehicle manufacturers recommended pressures including spare as well other than space saver. Check always before a long journey or if after loading or unloading vehicle.
■
Always check pressures in an ambient temperature, never immediately after a long journey.

TROUBLE SHOOTING
Gauge does not illuminate
Unit fails to run with switch in ‘ON’ position
Unit fails to stop at preset
■
Check that plug is fully inserted.
■
Ensure power light on the 12v plug is illuminated. If power light is not lit check both 12v Power Plug fuse (15 amp glass type) and vehicle fuse. See page ‘5’ 12v POWER PLUG.
■
Your car may require the ignition key to be turned to the accessories position.
■
Check you are following the setting instructions correctly.
■
Check that you have set the correct pre-set pressure.
Power lead/plug becomes hot
Gauge appears to read incorrectly or is unreadable
Unit is running but tyre is not inflating
Unit displays ERR message
■
If power lead is coiled, uncoil to full length.
■
When the tyre valve connector is attached, before switching the unit on, ensure the gauge is reading your current tyre pressure.
■
Remove plug from power source for at least 5 seconds, reconnect to power.
■
Check that the tyre valve adaptor is correctly fitted to tyre valve.
■
Connect the 12v power plug to the vehicles 12v supply.
Do not connect the valve connector to the tyre valve.
Allow the gauge to settle for a few seconds, press and hold the yellow button (item 2) for 5 seconds. This will reset the pressure sensor.
If the problem persists the pressure sensor has failed - please contact the Michelin helpline
For all other issues please call the Michelin helpline: UK: +44 0800 731 4973

CARE AND MAINTENANCE
■
Always read and follow the operating instructions.
■
Do not allow your tyre inflator to become wet.
■
Do not over stretch the power lead (8) or high pressure air hose (5).

3. Uncoil high pressure hose and screw tyre valve connector (6) onto your vehicles tyre valve.
When connected correctly the gauge will display the current pressure in the tyre. If this is the tyre pressure as stated in your vehicles handbook, you can simply remove the tyre valve connector (6).
4. If the tyre is over inflated, press the deflation bleed valve button (7) to release air until the gauge shows correct pressure (as specified in your vehicle handbook). This is also useful if you over inflate due to setting a higher pressure in error.
5. If the tyre is below the recommended pressure (as specified in your vehicle handbook) press either the pre-set button (1) to adjust the pre-set value on the gauge display to the correct tyre pressure.
Note: The unit has a built in memory and will default to the last tyre pressure set in the gauge display of the inflator. You can then scroll up or down using the buttons (1) to set the correct tyre pressure (as specified in your vehicle handbook).
+
6. Press Power Switch (10) to ‘I’. Your tyre inflator will now inflate your tyre to the pre-set level, as selected and switch off automatically. When the inflator is nearing the pre-set value it stops momentarily but can start up to 3 times within 2-3 seconds to make sure it has reached the pre-set pressure you have entered. This is a feature of the sensor within the inflator to aid accuracy of the pre-set pressure.
7. Remove the tyre valve connector (6) from the tyre valve. Take care when unscrewing the tyre valve connector; ensure NOT to press the deflation bleed valve button (7). Special adaptors are provided to inflate sports balls, air beds, small inflatables etc. To avoid over-inflation, always follow manufacturer's instructions on the items to be inflated.
ADAPTORS
Included with your Michelin High-power Rapid Tyre Inflator, at the base of the unit, is a storage compartment. the storage compartment lid (9) contains various adaptors to enable you to inflate other items.
