FAQs
What is the pressure range of this gauge?
The gauge has a dual scale display, reading from 0-60 Psi and 0-4 Bar.
How do I adjust tyre pressure using this gauge?
After taking a reading, use the built-in quick bleed button on the handle to release air and lower the pressure as needed.
Is this gauge suitable for everyday car use?
Yes, it is suitable for any vehicle with standard Schrader valves, providing accurate readings for optimal performance and safety.
What does the protective rubber boot do?
The ribbed rubber boot is designed to protect the gauge from knocks, drops, and impacts, increasing its durability.
How long is the flexible hose?
The flexible hose measures 18 inches (457mm) in length, providing ample reach to tyre valves.
Where is this tyre pressure gauge manufactured?
This tyre pressure gauge is manufactured in the USA.
Can I use this gauge for high-pressure applications?
The gauge is rated up to 60 Psi (4 Bar), which is suitable for most automotive applications. It may not be sufficient for very high-pressure systems.
Troubleshooting
Gauge shows zero pressure or inaccurate readings
Ensure the chuck is fully seated on the valve stem and there are no leaks. Check if the valve core is stuck or if the gauge itself needs calibration (consult manufacturer if persistent).
Bleed valve is not releasing air
Check for debris obstructing the valve. Gently operate the bleed button several times to clear it. If issues persist, contact customer support.
Gauge needle is stuck or not moving
Tap the gauge face gently. If the needle remains stuck, there may be internal damage. Avoid further use and seek professional inspection.
Hose appears damaged or cracked
Discontinue use immediately to prevent air leaks or hose failure. Contact the manufacturer for a replacement hose or gauge.
