InflaTIng TIres
The Mini Air Compressor will inflate vehicle, bicycle, ATV, or motorcycle tires.
The 12 VOLT PLUG is fitted with a unique built-in adjustable adapter to fit most
vehicles worldwide.
1. Connect the 12 VOLT PLUG into your vehicle's 12 volt power outlet, or any other
12 volt DC power outlet.
2. Connect the SCREW-ON CONNECTOR on the end of the Mini Air Compressor's
2-FOOT AIR HOSE to your tire's valve stem.
NOTE: When inflating certain high-performance/racing bicycle tires,
you may need to use the Presta Valve Adaptor (included).
3. Slide the ON/OFF SWITCH to the ON position and the Mini Air Compressor
will begin to operate. Inflate your tire to the correct pressure (PSI) by checking
the built-in PRESSURE GAUGE located on the 2-FOOT AIR HOSE.
Note: The PRESSURE GAUGE is not exact. It is designed to provide
you with approximate PSI readings that fall within +/— 10%. To ensure
accurate readings at all times, it is recommended that a separate tire
pressure gauge be used.
4. Do not walk away or leave the Mini Air Compressor unattended while inflating
or over-inflation could occur.
5. When the item has finished inflating, shut off your Mini Air Compressor
by sliding the ON/OFF SWITCH to the OFF Position.

6. Unscrew the SCREW-ON CONNECTOR from your tire valve stem or
remove ball needle.
7. Remove the 12 VOLT PLUG from your vehicle's 12 volt power outlet.
8. Store the Mini Air Compressor, and all of its components in the STORAGE BAG.
InflaTIng sporTs balls
1. Insert Ball Needle (included) into the SCREW-ON CONNECTOR.
2. Carefully press Ball Needle into the ball’s air outlet/inlet valve.
3. To begin inflating, follow steps 3 through 7 on page 5.
NOTE: Keep in mind that the Mini Air Compressor will inflate sports
balls very quickly. Be careful not to over-inflate! Monitor the pressure
carefully. Do not leave unattended while inflating.

ISSUE SOLUTION
The compressor fails
to operate.
Check that the Mini Air Compressor power is on.
Try turning your vehicle ignition key to ON,
as some 12V power outlets do not operate
unless the ignition key is in the ON position.
Check that your cigarette lighter is free
of any ash residue or debris.
Check the fuse located on the 12 VOLT PLUG
on the Mini Air Compressor. If you replace the
fuse and it immediately blows again, disconnect
the plug immediately and call Brookstone

Customer service at 800-846-3000
or return the product to the store from
which it was purchased.
Note: The Mini Air Compressor is equipped
with fuse protection. To replace the fuse,
simply open the fuse holder in the 12V
power cord, remove existing fuse, install
new fuse and close the fuse holder. Use
only an AGC-15 amp replacement fuse.
