How to Verify and Adjust Pressure

Ensure optimal performance by inflating to the manufacturer's recommended pressure values.

Vehicles

Adjust tire pressure based on conditions:

  • Off-Road: Lower pressure for better traction.
  • On-Road: Reinflate to recommended pressure.
  • Load Weight: Adjust pressure for heavier loads.

Motorcycles and Bicycles

Lower pressure for off-road traction; higher pressure for on-road efficiency.

Sports Balls

Inflate to the pressure indicated on the ball for optimal performance.

Cautions

High temperature warning
The trachea and connector may become hot after use
  • 🌑️ Warning: Parts may be hot after use.
  • Monitor inflation to prevent over-inflation.
  • Do not operate near flammable materials.
  • Store in a cool, dry place.
  • Keep out of reach of children.
  • Do not expose the battery to extreme heat.

Calibration
