How to Inflate your Car Tyre

Inflating your car tyres is an important part of regular maintenance to ensure your car is running safely and efficiently. However, if you don't have access to an air compressor, it can be difficult to know how to inflate your tyres. Fortunately, using a battery inflator is a simple and convenient way of inflating your tyres. This step by step guide will show you how to inflate your car tyres using a battery inflator.

1

Before starting

Ensure your car is switched off and the handbrake is engaged before beginning to inflate the tyre.

2

Remove the valve cap from the tyre and attach the RYOBI battery inflator.

Depending on the inflator you can then clip/lock in the inflator onto the wheel so it doesn't slip off when turned on.

3

Turn on the RYOBI battery inflator and select the desired pressure setting.

Monitor the pressure gauge on the battery inflator to check the tyre pressure is increasing.

4

When tyre reaches the desired pressure

The RYOBI inflator will automatically stop once the desired pressure is reached. Remove it from the tyre and replace the valve cap.
