Trouble with M18 Inflator Displaying PSI

0
Asked By Gearhead_42 On

I've been having some trouble with my M18 inflator lately. When I try to inflate my 35" tires from 22 to 35 psi, the display doesn't show the pressure increasing; it just stays at the initial pressure of 22 psi. The only way I can get it to update is by turning it off and back on repeatedly. Is there a way to reset or 'reboot' the inflator to clear up these issues? I'm using a Forge 12 battery if that makes a difference. Interestingly, it works fine when topping off the tires after they've cooled down, but it's frustrating when it does this. Any advice?

Sounds like it could just be a display glitch or a software issue, especially if it works fine under normal conditions. If the reset doesn't work, you might wanna reach out to Milwaukee's customer service for tips. They've been pretty helpful in the past.

Thanks for the suggestion! I'll try reaching out if the issues persist.

I had a similar issue with my inflator. It usually happens when I'm at higher altitudes or if the tires are hot from driving. Make sure the tire pressure is set correctly after they cool off. As for rebooting the inflator, try removing the battery and reinserting it after a minute. That seems to reset it for me.

Good idea! I think resetting it like that can really help, especially at different temperatures.
