FAQs
What type of battery does this inflator use?
This inflator is part of the MILWAUKEE M12 system and requires any MILWAUKEE M12 REDLITHIUM battery.
Does the inflator come with a battery?
No, the MILWAUKEE M12BI Sub-Compact Tyre Inflator is typically sold as a tool-only unit. A compatible M12 battery and charger must be purchased separately.
How long is the included hose?
The unit includes a 66 cm (approximately 26 inch) hose.
Can this inflator be used for truck or trailer tires?
While it can inflate smaller truck tires, it is primarily designed for car, bicycle, and smaller utility vehicle tires. For larger, higher-pressure tires, a more robust, higher-volume inflator may be required.
What is the maximum pressure this inflator can reach?
The product specifications indicate it's designed for standard tire pressures; consult the unit's display or manual for its specific maximum PSI/Bar rating, but it is suitable for typical automotive tire inflation needs.
How is the hose and chuck stored?
The hose and brass Schrader chuck have dedicated integrated storage mounts on the body of the inflator for easy access and to prevent them from being misplaced.
Troubleshooting
Inflator not powering on
Ensure the M12 battery is fully charged and correctly inserted. Check that the battery contacts are clean.
Low inflation pressure or slow inflation
Verify the Schrader chuck is securely connected to the tire valve, creating a tight seal. Check the hose for any kinks or obstructions.
Unit vibrates excessively during operation
Confirm the anti-vibration stand is making full contact with a stable surface. Ensure no external objects are interfering with the unit's base.
Battery not holding a charge
Test the battery with another M12 tool. If the issue persists, the battery may need replacement (refer to battery warranty).
