Michelin 847142 Programmable Rapid 4x4 Tyre Inflator Setup Guide
Setting up the Michelin 847142 Programmable Rapid 4x4 Tyre Inflator is easy. Simply connect the air hose to the tyre valve, set the desired pressure on the digital gauge, and turn on the unit. The tyre inflator will automatically shut off when the desired pressure is reached, ensuring that your tyres are inflated to the correct pressure. To deflate the tyre, simply press the deflate button on the unit and the tyre pressure will be released.
This inflator can inflate vehicle tyres up to 80 PSI (please follow your vehicle manufacturer’s recommendations) and bicycle tyres up to 100 PSI. Higher pressures can be achieved in cycle tyres due to their smaller air volumes compared to vehicle tyres. When inflating vehicle tyres this inflator should ONLY be used for car tyres and bicycle tyres. Low-pressure items such as sports balls and small inflatable toys may also be inflated using the adaptors provided.

- Check internal fuse (15A glass type). | |
- Your car may require the ignition key to be turned to the accessory position. | |
Unit fails to run with switch in ‘On’ position | - Check that the plug is fully inserted into the 12V socket. |
- Check internal fuse (15A glass type). | |
- Your car may require the ignition key to be turned to the accessory position. | |
Unit fails to stop at pre-set | - Check you are following the setting instructions correctly. |
- Check that you have set the correct pre-set pressure. | |
Power lead/plug becomes hot | - If the power lead is coiled, uncoil to full length. |
- Ensure the 12V socket is clean with no debris in it. | |
- Ensure 12V plug components are tight and clean. | |
Gauge appears to read incorrectly or is unreadable | - When the tyre valve connector is attached, before switching the unit on, ensure the gauge is reading your current tyre pressure. |
Gauge reads 0.0 or ERR | - Disconnect valve connector from the tyre. |
- Remove the plug from the power source for at least 5 seconds, reconnect to power. | |
- Press and hold the yellow reset button (1) until the display shows all the digits then returns to 0.0. | |
- Connect valve connector to the tyre. | |
Unit is running but tyre is not inflating | - Check that the tyre valve connector is correctly fitted to the tyre valve. |
Gauge does not display when tyre valve is connected | - Ensure the tyre valve is correctly connected to the tyre valve connector. |
Unit displays ERR message | - Connect the 12V power plug to the vehicle’s 12V supply. Do not connect the valve connector to the tyre valve. Allow the gauge to settle for a few seconds, press and hold the yellow reset button (1) for 5 seconds. This will reset the pressure sensor. |
- If the problem persists, the pressure sensor has failed. Please contact the Michelin helpline. |
