Inflating Tires
To inflate your vehicle, motorcycle, or bicycle tires:
1. Place the valve connector securely on the tire valve stem,
push it as far as possible to allow normal airflow, and
close the thumb latch. If necessary, use a supplied nozzle
adaptor.
2. Turn the compressor on, and inflate your tire to the
recommended pressure. Use Table 3-3 as a guide only.

Note
: The information in the table is for reference only. For
precise pressure specifications, refer to the information supplied
with the item to be inflated.
CAUTION
If the pressure gauge on the compressor indicates more than twice
the recommended pressure for the object you are inflating, and you
have only started to inflate the object, the valve connector is
incorrectly connected to the valve stem. This may damage the
XPower Powerpack 300. Remove and reattach the valve connector
to the valve stem.
