Quick demo on how to use a small home garage version air compressor. This is a Sears Craftsman 1.5 Horse Power, 3 Gallon, Direct Drive, Oil Lubricated, Cast Iron Cylinder, 125 PSI Max, Electric Air Compressor with 2 visual gauges. Their bleeder valve is closed before use as shown, and opened when done to let the air and moisture out. The unit is usually tipped sideways with valve near floor until empty. Sometimes a rusty dew will come out which is normal. Not bleeding can let damp air inside to promote interior cylinder rust. Note: The sample tire in this video takes a max of 44 PSI which was already filled to 42. The demo showed 45.5 at the end of airing up but was taken back down off camera. Other tires may read Max PSI 35, I would personally leave them at 32 all around. Remember: Only check and fill the tires when the tires have not been driven for a while or "cold". If air pressure was checked while tires are "hot" or just driven, The pressure guage will read inaccurately. Never over inflate tires, or drive with tires seriously under inflated. The info of the tires max psi is right on the tire.'s sidewall. Many benefits of proper psi in tire such as safety, better tire life, better gas mileage, better ride etc. Do yourself a favor right now and go check the air pressure in your tires. You will be glad that you did!
