  High-pressure tire inflators generate high-pressure airflow, allowing them to inflate larger or heavier tires. These tires include those found in trucks, buses, or off-road vehicles. They also have adjustable pressure settings that allow the operator to set the desired pressure level.

Specifications and Maintenance of Full Automatic Tire Inflator

Manufacturers provide specifications for full automatic tire inflator devices to assist buyers in selecting the appropriate product for their needs. Additionally, they provide guidelines for proper usage and maintenance of the device.

• Power Supply

  Some inflators use batteries, while others use direct current from the vehicle's battery through the power outlet. Those that use batteries are rechargeable after every use.

• Maximum Pressure

  The pressure produced by the inflator is measured in pounds per square inch (PSI). Different types of tires require different PSI levels. Higher PSI levels indicate that the inflator can be used on a wider variety of tires.

• Maximum Flow Rate

  The maximum flow rate is measured in liters per minute (L/min) and indicates how quickly the inflator can fill a tire. Higher flow rates mean that the tire will be fully inflated in a shorter duration.

• Tank Size

  Tank size is measured in gallons. Larger tanks allow for more air storage and provide more extended use of the inflator before a refill is necessary. Some models may have a built-in air storage tank.

• Weight

  Inflators with higher weights may be difficult to transport and store. Additionally, they may be cumbersome to handle during tire inflation.

• Noise Level

  Tire inflators produce noise during operation. The noise level is measured in decibels (dB), with lower levels indicating a quieter device.

• Digital Gauge

  Some inflators have a built-in digital gauge that displays the current tire pressure on a digital screen. This feature eliminates the need to use a separate tire pressure gauge.

• Auto Shut-off

  When the tire reaches the desired pressure, the auto shut-off feature turns off the inflator automatically. This feature prevents overinflation and saves battery life.

• Built-in Light

  A built-in light is useful when inflating tires in low-light conditions, such as at night or in poorly lit areas.

• Material

  The durability and longevity of the inflator is influenced by the material used in its construction. Common materials include plastic, aluminum, and steel.

To maintain full automatic tire inflators, manufacturers provide the following guidelines.

• After every use, clean the tire inflator by wiping it down with a damp cloth to remove dust and debris.
• Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners, as they may damage the inflator's surface.
• Regularly inspect the inflator for any signs of wear or damage, such as frayed cords, cracked housing, or worn-out gaskets. If any, replace worn-out parts or repair the inflator as necessary.

  Store the tire inflator in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. Proper storage protects the inflator from damage and extends its lifespan.

• Periodically check the battery for proper charge and replace it when it no longer holds a charge. Once a year, or when the inflator has not been used for a long period, perform a test run to ensure that it is still in working condition.
• Regularly lubricate moving parts of the tire inflator, such as switches and valves, with a suitable lubricant to ensure smooth operation.

Follow the manufacturer's instructions for use and maintenance to ensure safety and proper operation.
