There are some important things you should know to get the most out of your portable tire pump. We've compiled everything you need to know, as explained in the step-by-step guide below. First, we'll take a look at how to use a tire pump in general and then show you a demonstration of the Fanttik X8 Apex portable tire pump that does all of the above tasks at once!

1. Check tire pressure

The first step is to check your tire pressure. The best time to do this is when the tires are cold, preferably after the vehicle has not been driven for about three hours. Hot tires can cause incorrect PSI readings. You can check the psi reading with a relatively inexpensive air pressure gauge.

2. Connect the air pump

Depending on the type of compressor, connect the compressor to its power source, which can be a 12-volt car outlet, a 120-volt outlet, or a battery. Connect the air hose to your tire. You may need to add an adapter to the end of the air line. Most air pumps allow you to use extensions to connect the air hose to various valves.

3. Set the desired pressure

Some tire pumps allow you to set a target PSI pressure. However, if your air pump does not have this feature, you will have to use your own judgment and hands to determine whether your car's tires are strong enough. However, this does not guarantee that you will get the perfect psi or pressure.

4. Inflate the tires

After setting the target pressure, start the air pump and let it run for a few minutes. But be very careful because you don't want to over-inflate your tire. If you continue to inflate the pump without safety devices, you risk a flat tire. For more information, see our blog: What are the effects of incorrect tire pressure? That's why Fanttik tire pumps prevent over- and under-inflation right from the start.

5. Disconnect the air pump

After the air pump has been running for a few minutes and has reached the target PSI level, turn off the air pump and disconnect the air hose from the tire valve. Be very careful when removing the hose as compressed air may still come out of the air pump. Pull firmly on the hose to ensure it is no longer connected to the tire valve.

6. Check the pressure again

For maximum accuracy, re-check the PSI of each tire with a quality tire pressure gauge. Compare this reading to the recommended pressure listed in the owner's manual or on the vehicle's plate on the driver's door jamb or fuel filler door. Add or release air as needed until desired pressure is reached. Proper air pressure is essential for safe driving, maximizing tire life and improving gas mileage.

How to use the Fanttik tire inflation pump in one step

The magic is coming! If you'd rather follow a one-step process rather than the six-step process described above, buy the Fanttik X8 Apex and embrace the set-it-and-forget-it philosophy. With just one move you can achieve laser-precise printing on your car in seconds. The company's flagship air pump, the With state-of-the-art technology and a powerful motor, the X8 APEX is accurate to 1 psi and inflates 50% faster than traditional air pumps. A car tire can be filled with an air pump in five minutes without air pressure.

The Fanttik X8 Apex is essentially a self-inflating air pump, meaning once the desired pressure is reached, it shuts off to prevent over-inflation. The auto shut-off feature can withstand pressures of up to 150 psi and is also suitable for high-pressure objects such as basketballs or tires.

A keypad with directional buttons and simple icons make the X8 Apex incredibly easy to use. There are two operating modes: preset or manual. To switch between presets (including car, bike, ball and motorcycle presets), press the right button (with the circular arrow) after turning on the X8 Apex by briefly pressing the power button have. Simply connect the hose, adjust the desired pressure using the up and down controls and press the on/off button to start the device. As soon as the hose is connected, the current pressure is determined. Then just set it and forget it! Simply press a button and your tires will be safely inflated to the specified pressure, while you can monitor the pressure on the screen at any time.

A flat tire is never a pleasant experience, but it's even less pleasant when a manual or traditional pump is required. Taking the X8 Apex with you in a backpack or in the backseat of your car on family trips is easy because it also comes with backup batteries and an emergency flashlight. So, in addition to ease of use and versatility, you can avoid a lot of hassle and get a Fanttik X8 Apex to get the same results (or even some different ones) but with the peace of mind.
