Tyre Deflators

To use a tyre deflator, you would need to do the following:
1. Adjust the deflator body to match the desired pressure level.
2. Secure the pressure setting by twisting the upper locking nut.
3. Secure the deflator onto the tyre’s valve stem.
4. Pull the tyre deflator top off to release air from the tyre.

The process may vary depending on the model of deflator. As some offers an automatic shut-off feature when the desired pressure is reached and some doesn’t.

Adjusting a tyre deflator is a simple process that allows you to customise the deflation to your specific needs. To adjust the deflator, begin by rotating the main body to set the desired pressure. Once you’ve chosen the correct pressure, secure it by tightening the adjustment nut on the top. Next, attach the deflator to the valve stem of the tyre. Once connected, pull the top of the deflator to release air from the tyre. The deflator will stop automatically once it reaches the set pressure, ensuring precise and consistent tyre deflation.

A 4×4 tyre deflator is a tool that allows you to reduce your tyre pressure safely for better traction on rough or sandy terrains. Lowering tyre pressure increases the tyre’s footprint, improving grip and stability.

The best 4WD tyre deflator depends on your needs. However, automatic deflators like the Oricom ATD01 Tyre Deflators are popular for it’s convenience and simplicity.

Using an automatic tyre deflator is easy, remove the valve cap from your tyre, attach the deflator to the valve stem, and the device will then automatically release air until it reaches the preset pressure.

A digital tyre deflator is a device that allows for precise and controlled tyre deflation. Unlike manual or automatic deflators, digital models typically feature a LCD display that shows the exact pressure in real-time. Some models also allow you to set a specific target pressure, and the deflator will automatically stop releasing air once the desired level is reached.

Automatic tyre deflators are generally very accurate, especially when compared to manual tyre deflators. They are designed to deflate tyres to a preset pressure, ensuring that each tyre reaches the optimal pressure without the need for constant monitoring. Though, it’s important to regularly calibrate your deflator and ensure it’s in good working condition to maintain its accuracy.

Yes, automatic tyre deflators are mostly suitable for all types of tyres, including those on 4WD vehicles, caravans, trailers, and off-road vehicles. However, it’s still very important to check the specifications of your deflator to ensure it is compatible with the size and type of tyre you’re working with. As some deflators are specifically designed for larger or smaller type of tyres.

Yes, you can use a tyre deflator on your trailer tyres, as long as the deflator is compatible with the tyre’s valve system. Deflating trailer tyres can be beneficial for off-road use, improving traction and stability just like with your 4WD tyres. Ensure that the deflator is designed for the tyre pressure you intend to use and that you adjust it correctly for your trailer’s requirements. Properly deflated tyres on trailers help with smoother towing and better handling in rough terrains.
