3. Checking Tire Pressure:
Tochecktirepressureafterination/deation,simplyreleasetheInationTriggerortheBleeder
Valve. This will allow the needle in the gauge to settle and show the accurate pressure reading.
YoucanalsochecktirepressurebysimplyconnectingtheTLCInatortoatirevalvestem.
4. Storage:
AlwaysstoretheTLCInatorinthecarrybagprovidedtoprotectitfromimpactordamage.
WARNING:

•Usecautionwhenattachingorremovingairchuckfromvalvestems.
•Alwaysensurethattirevalvestemsaretightbeforeinating.
• Neverinateanytireorotherinatablepastitsratedpressuretoavoidexplosion,possibleinjuryordeath.
