2.1 Valve Head Conversion (Presta/Schrader)

The Tire Booster features a universal valve head compatible with both Presta (FV) and Schrader (AV) valves. To switch between valve types, simply reverse the internal components of the nozzle head.

1. Unscrew the outer cap of the nozzle head.
2. Remove the internal rubber gasket and the plastic insert.
3. For Presta (FV) valves, ensure the circular hole of the plastic insert faces outwards.
4. For Schrader (AV) valves, ensure the sharp hole of the plastic insert faces outwards.
5. Reinsert the rubber gasket and plastic insert in the correct orientation, then screw the outer cap back on securely.

2.2 Preparing the Tire for Inflation

Before inflating, ensure the tubeless tire is properly seated against the rim. A tight seal is crucial to prevent air leakage during the initial inflation burst. If there are visible gaps between the tire bead and the rim, the booster may not effectively seat the tire.

3.1 Charging the Tire Booster

The Tire Booster must be charged with air using an external pump before use. It can be inflated with a manual floor pump or an electric air compressor.

1. Connect your external pump to the Schrader valve on the top of the Tire Booster.
2. Inflate the air storage tank to 150-200 PSI. Do not exceed 200 PSI.
3. Once charged, disconnect the external pump.

3.2 Inflating a Bicycle Tire

Follow these steps to inflate your bicycle tire using the charged Tire Booster:

1. Ensure the valve head on the booster's hose is configured for your tire's valve type (Presta or Schrader) as described in Section 2.1.
2. Connect the booster's nozzle head securely to the tire's valve stem.
3. Rotate the blue valve switch on the booster from the 'storage' position to the 'inflation' position. This will release the stored air rapidly into the tire.
4. Listen for the tire bead to audibly 'pop' into place, indicating a successful seal.
5. Once the tire is seated, disconnect the booster. The tire will have some initial pressure, but you will need to use a regular pump to achieve the desired riding pressure.

4. Onderhoud

Proper maintenance ensures the longevity and reliable performance of your CYCLAMI Tire Booster.

• Schoonmaak: Wipe the exterior of the booster with a clean, damp cloth after use. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive materials.
• Opslag: Store the Tire Booster in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. It is recommended to store it with a small amount of pressure (e.g., 20-30 PSI) to maintain seal integrity, but not fully charged.
• Slangen en afdichtingen inspecteren: Periodically check the hose and valve head for any signs of wear, cracks, or damage. Ensure all connections are tight. Replace components if damage is observed.
• Ventielkern: Ensure the valve core on the booster's inflation port is clean and free of debris to allow for efficient charging.
