INFLATOR OPERATION
TO INFLATE TIRES:
1. Unwind 12 Volt power cord. See #8 in figure 1, page 3.
2. Make certain the inflator power trigger is in the off (unlocked) position. See #1 and #2
in figure 1.
3. Set emergency brake and start vehicle engine. See “Warning: Vehicle Exhaust Without
Proper Ventilation”, page 4.
4. Plug inflator lighter plug into vehicle 12 Volt cigarette lighter socket.
5. Check manufacturer’s recommended tire pressure specifications indicated on the tire
sidewall.
6. There are two options in which you may inflate vehicle tires. See “Tire Inflation Op-
tions” in figure 2, page 3.
Option A: Loosen air chuck (counterclockwise), attach 4 inch air hose into air
chuck (#5 and #6 in figure 1) and tighten chuck (clockwise) to secure.
Attach the air hose nozzle to vehicle tire valve stem by threading the
nozzle onto the tire stem (clockwise) until secure. Do not turn
inflator on.
Option B: Loosen air chuck (counterclockwise), attach the air chuck (#5 in figure
1) directly onto the tire valve stem and tighten air chuck until secure.
Do not turn inflator on.
NOTE: When the nozzle is connected correctly, wait 5-7 seconds and the gauge will indi-
cate the current tire pressure. See #3 in figure 1. Always follow the manufacturer’s inflation
pressure recommendations to avoid over-inflation.
The pressure gauge on the inflator is for reference only and is therefore not binding for
exact values. While inflating, the gauge is a measurement of the fluctuating pressure
between the tire and the high pressure hose. To reduce the risk of over-inflation, use a reli-
able pressure gauge periodically during inflation before driving a vehicle inflated with the
inflator.
7. Squeeze on the inflator power trigger to begin inflation. See #1 in figure 1. The Bell-
Aire™ 9000 will now inflate your tire. Carefully monitor the pressure gauge to avoid
over-inflation. To lock trigger in place, slide middle lever all the way up the trigger.
See #2 in figure 1.
8. Once the desired pressure has been reached, slide lock lever down if in use and stop
the inflator by releasing the inflator power trigger to the off position. See #1 in
figure 1.
9. Wait several moments as air hose and nozzle or air chuck may naturally heat during
inflation. Then, remove air hose nozzle (by turning counterclockwise) or air chuck (by
turning clockwise) from vehicle tire valve stem.
10. Unplug inflator from vehicle 12 Volt cigarette lighter socket.
11. Turn off vehicle.
12. Properly store your tire inflator in the carry bag provided.
TO INFLATE SPORTS BALLS AND OTHER HIGH PRESSURE SMALL INFLATABLES:
1. Unwind 12 Volt power cord. See #8 in figure 1, page 3.
2. Loosen air chuck (counterclockwise), attach 4 inch air hose into air chuck (#5 and #6
in figure 1) and tighten chuck (clockwise) to secure.
3. Select one of the small adapter needles provided in the storage compartment.
See #7, page 3.
4. Attach the adapter needle to the air hose nozzle (see #6 in figure 1) by turning the
adapter needle clockwise.
5. Check manufacturer’s recommended pressure specifications for inflatable.
6. Insert adapter needle into inflatable.
