The Einhell Pressito 18V Hybrid Compressor is a versatile tool designed for inflating car, motorcycle, and bicycle tires, as well as sports balls, water balls, and air mattresses. It can also be used to deflate low-pressure items. The device can be powered by a standard mains connection or by a compatible 18V Power X-Change battery.
Device Description
The compressor features a handle for portability, an accessory storage compartment, and a clear display for pressure monitoring. It includes a high-pressure hose for tires and a low-pressure hose for large-volume inflatables. Controls include a selector switch for power source (mains/battery) and a selector switch for operating mode (high-pressure/off/low-pressure blower).
Operation
Power Source Selection
Use the selector switch (10) to choose between power sources:
- DC (Right): Battery-powered operation.
- AC (Left): Mains-powered operation.
Operating Modes
Use the selector switch (12) to choose the operating mode:
- High-Pressure Mode: For inflating tires and balls. Use the high-pressure hose (5). Set the desired pressure using the buttons (14) and (16). The unit of measurement can be selected using button (15).
- Low-Pressure Mode: For inflating or deflating large items like air mattresses. Use the low-pressure hose (3). Connect to the inflation port (4) to inflate or the suction port (13) to deflate.
Cleaning and Maintenance
Always remove the battery and disconnect the mains plug before cleaning. Keep air vents and the motor housing free of dust and dirt. Wipe the device with a clean cloth or blow it clean with low-pressure compressed air. Do not use cleaning agents or solvents, as these can damage plastic parts.
Troubleshooting
If the battery fails to charge, check the mains voltage at the socket and ensure the charging contacts are clean. If charging still fails, contact the customer service center. Refer to the charger indicator table in the manual for specific LED status meanings.
Storage
Store the device and its accessories in a dark, dry, and frost-free place, ideally between 5°C and 30°C. Keep out of reach of children.
