Smart Tip 💡

To maximise the value of your Astro Tools 3018GR: calibrate it annually, clean the hose and chuck regularly, and keep the batteries fresh. A well-maintained digital inflator translates to sustainable precision and fewer “surprises” during service.

How to Use the Astro Tools 3018GR Effectively

1. Remove the valve cap from your tyre.

2. Attach the inflator chuck firmly onto the valve stem. Ensure no air leaks.

3. Press the ‘ON/UNIT/LIGHT’ button to power on and optionally enable backlight. astrotools.com

4. Read the display unit; switch units if needed (PSI/BAR/KPA/KGF) with long-press. astrotools.com

5. Use the lever: first position for deflation, second for inflation.

6. Adjust tyre pressure to target value, monitor the display until the reading stabilises.

7. Disconnect and replace the valve cap.

Pro Tip: For cold tyres, check pressure before driving for reliable baseline readings.
