Maintaining the correct tire pressure reduces the possibility of tire wear and improves tire performance. You never know when your tire might get a puncture, and you can easily inflate almost any tire on your job site if you have an air inflator.

Read on to learn how to use an air pump on your flat tire.

How to use the air inflator to inflate tires:

• You must first define the pressure frame :

• You need to know how much air pressure should enter the tire (car wheel).

Most vehicles need at least 45 kilograms per square inch, or PSI, in each tire, and this amount varies based on the axle load, the number of tires per axle, and the weather.

You can check your car owner’s manual to find out the right tire pressure!

• Avoid using the PSI number on the tire sidewall as this expresses maximum pressure, the smaller inflator tank maintains pressure between 100 and 150.

A tire gauge can tell you how much compressed air your tires need to add. If you don’t put enough air in your tires, you may experience additional friction that raises the temperature of the rubber, as the heat can damage the steel wires inside.

Many tire manufacturers state that you can burn 1% more fuel and add 10% more tire fuel for every 3 PSI.

• Try to fill your car tires when they are cold, to give you a more accurate reading, as hot tires show high air pressure when using a tire gauge. If your tire is flat while driving, wait approximately 30 minutes for the tire to cool; If that doesn’t work, inflate the tires to 3 PSI, the recommended amount.

• Make the frame ready:

Each tire should have a cap screwed to the top of the valve.

Remove the cap and set it aside. When the cap is over the valve, even if it’s only for a minute, residual air can escape, so avoid removing the cap when you’re ready to use the blower.

• Turn on the air blower:

Typical air blowers run on electrical power, with smaller units having a two-prong plug, while medium and large compressors may need a three-prong plug.

• Make sure you are using outlets with the correct voltage for the blower. Running the blower on the wrong circuit can blow out the blower, the circuit, or both. Once the blower is running, you will hear its motor start.

Portable units have frames that allow you to move them around easily.

• Try placing the inflator close to the flat tire, then connect the air hose to the inflator and include the quick coupler at the end, as this allows you to force air into the valve stem. If there is a safety position on the nozzle, make sure it is activated, then install the hose on the valve stem and turn on the device.

Depending on how firm the tire is, it may take some time to fill the tire, as many compressors have devices that automatically stop inflating when the desired air pressure is reached, but you should avoid moving away from the inflator while it is running, so as not to blow your tires.

• Khartoum separation:

Check the tire pressure occasionally as you raise them. Most digital inflators monitor the pressure and automatically shut off when the desired pressure is reached. If you accidentally add too much air, press down on the tire gauge to get some air out.

When the amount of air is adequate, remove the hose from the inflator, you may hear a hissing sound when removing this piece. Don’t worry as this is completely normal, just put the cap back on the valve.

If you’re unlucky and get a flat tire, don’t worry. You can easily use an air inflator and a few simple tools to inflate flat tyres, by following a few simple tips, so you can get back on the road in no time.
