Frequently asked questions
How to use an air pump to inflate tires?
- First, remove the valve cap from the tire you wish to inflate and check the recommended tire pressure for your vehicle, typically found in the owner's manual or on a placard inside the driver's side door.
- Next, securely attach the air hose to the valve stem.
- If the compressor allows, set the desired tire pressure.
- Press the inflation trigger and keep an eye on the pressure gauge.
- Add air in short bursts, checking the pressure intermittently to avoid overinflation.
- Once you've reached the desired pressure, remove the hose, replace the valve cap.
- Usually there are specific instructions provided by the gas station regarding the use of the air pump.
