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.
