FAQs
Does this inflator come with a battery and charger?
No, this is a body-only unit. A Ryobi ONE+ 18V battery and charger are required and sold separately.
What is the maximum pressure this inflator can reach?
The inflator can reach a maximum pressure of 10.3 BAR / 150 PSI.
How long does it take to inflate a car tire?
It can inflate a car tire to 32 PSI in approximately 2 minutes.
What accessories are included?
It includes a thumb lock tire valve, sports ball needle, presta valve, and high-pressure tapered nozzle.
Can I use this for inflatable mattresses?
While primarily designed for high-pressure tires, it can be used for larger inflatables if the appropriate adapter is available or if the nozzle fits securely. However, its high-pressure motor may not be ideal for low-pressure, high-volume inflation tasks like some air mattresses.
Is the unit durable?
The unit is built with Ryobi's standards for power tool durability. It is recommended to follow care instructions to maintain its longevity. Note that the unit may have minor cosmetic imperfections or a replacement bolt.
Where can I find replacement nozzles or parts?
Replacement parts and accessories can typically be found through authorized Ryobi service centers or online retailers specializing in Ryobi parts.
Troubleshooting
Inflator does not power on.
Ensure a fully charged Ryobi ONE+ 18V battery is correctly inserted. Check that the battery contacts are clean and making proper connection. Try a different compatible battery.
Low or no air pressure output.
Check the hose connection to the valve stem for leaks. Ensure the selected nozzle is securely attached. Inspect the hose and nozzle for any blockages or damage. Verify the pressure setting on the gauge.
Inflator stops during operation.
The unit may have overheated. Allow it to cool down for a few minutes before resuming operation. Ensure the battery is sufficiently charged.
Pressure gauge is inaccurate.
Ensure the gauge is clean and free of debris. Compare the reading with a separate, reliable pressure gauge if possible. The unit may require calibration if consistently inaccurate, though this is uncommon.
