For emergencies
Fit the valve insert (I) into the valve (G), and
screw the valve insert securely into place us-
ing the valve remover (H).
NOTE
l
When removing and screwing in the valve in-
sert using the valve remover, turn the valve
remover by hand. Using a tool to turn the
valve remover could damage it.
13. Pull out the compressor hose (L) from the
side of the tyre compressor, and then secure-
ly attach the hose to the tyre valve (G).

14. Place the compressor (M) with its air pres-
sure gauge (N) on top.
Pull out the compressor's power cord (O), in-
sert the plug on the cord into the accessory
socket (P), and then turn the ignition switch
to the "ACC" position.
Turn ON the compressor switch (Q) and in-
flate the tyre to the specified pressure.
CAUTION
l
The supplied compressor is designed only
for inflation of passenger vehicle tyres.
l
The compressor is designed to run on a ve-
hicle's 12 V power supply. Do not connect
it to any other power source.
l
The compressor is not waterproof. If you
use it in rain, make sure water does not
get on it.

CAUTION
l
Any sand or dust sucked into the compres-
sor could make the compressor break
down. Do not place the compressor direct-
ly on any sandy or dusty surface when us-
ing it.
l
Do not disassemble or modify the com-
pressor. Also, do not subject the air pres-
sure gauge to shock. It could malfunction.
15. Check and adjust the tyre pressure with refer-
ence to the air pressure gauge on the compres-
sor. If you overinflate the tyre, release air by
loosening the hose's end fitting. (Refer to
"Tyre inflation pressures" on page 8-13.)
If there is a gap between the tyre and wheel
because the tyre has moved inward from the
wheel rim, press the periphery of the tyre to-
wards the wheel to close the gap before run-
ning the compressor. (With no gaps, the tyre
pressure will rise.)
CAUTION
l
Be careful not to get your fingers trapped
between the tyre and wheel as the tyre in-
flates.
l
The surface of the compressor will get
hot while the compressor is running. Do
not keep the compressor running continu-
ously for more than 10 minutes. After us-
ing the compressor, wait for the compres-
sor to cool before using it again.
