Troubleshooting
Tool does not connect securely to the valve
Ensure the valve stem is clean and free of debris. Check the rubber seal on the tool's connector for damage and replace if worn.
Air is leaking when connected
Verify that the tool is fully seated onto the valve stem. Check for any obstructions preventing a proper seal. The internal seal may need replacement if the leak persists.
Difficulty reaching the valve
While designed for access, the 200mm length may still be insufficient for extreme obstructions. Ensure you are positioning the tool's angle correctly for maximum leverage.

- Compact size makes it easy to carry.
- Rated for high pressures up to 200psi.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: No assembly is required. The tool is ready for immediate use out of the box. Simply attach the right-angle connector to the tyre valve.
Compatibility: This tool is specifically designed to access tyre valves on most motorcycles, particularly those with restricted access points on rear wheels. It is suitable for standard tyre valve stems found on motorcycles. While it has a 200psi rating, its primary utility is in accessing the valve, not as a standalone high-pressure pump.
Care: To maintain the tool's performance, keep it clean and dry. After use, wipe away any dirt or debris. Store in a dry location to prevent corrosion. Periodically check the rubber seals on the connector for wear and tear, replacing if necessary to ensure a good seal.
