the tire valve stem by turning it
clockwise until it is tight.

10. Inflate the tire to the
recommended inflation
pressure using the pressure
gauge (C). The recommended
inflation pressure can be found
on the Tire and Loading
Information label. See Tire
Pressure on page 1042.
The pressure gauge (C) may
read higher than the actual tire
pressure while the compressor
is on. Turn the compressor off

compressor may be turned
on/off until the correct pressure
is reached.
If you inflate the tire higher
than the recommended
pressure you can adjust the
excess pressure by pressing
the pressure deflation
button (D), if equipped, until the
proper pressure reading is
reached. This option is only
functional when using the air
only hose (G).
