Step 2
Connect the airlite eco to the tyre valve, the current pressure will appear on the linear screen.
Step 3
To begin inflating, press the lever down fully and hold it for an appropriate amount of time. Release the lever to display the current tyre pressure on the linear screen. Continue monitoring the pressure as you inflate.
Step 4
After inflation, momentarily deflate the tyre to the desired pressure. To do this, press the lever halfway to deflate the tyre.
Step 5
Repeat inflation/deflation prices until desired pressure is reached.

1. The airlite eco has been designed for light or occasional use, so no maintenance is required as long as you have clean dry air. 2. Over time the hose and tyre valve connector can naturally wear. The service life depends on several factors including the frequency of use and maintenance. Be sure to regularly check the hose and connector for signs of wear or damage, especially before each use. If replacement is needed, PCL offers a wide range of hose assemblies to keep your airlite eco in top working condition. |
