How to use and replace Slime's lift-to-lock air hose heads
How to Use Your Quick Connect Air Hose Head:
Step 1: With the green lever in the down position, firmly press the inflator air hose head onto the tire valve stem.
Step 2: Lift up the green lever to lock the air head onto the tire valve stem.
By lifting up to lock (rather than locking down), you put less force on your tire’s valve stem. By removing unnecessary wear and tear at the connection site, Slime’s “lift-to-lock” method extends the life of both your inflator air hose head and your tire valve stem.

Step 1: Loosen and pry the head of the chuck away from the collar using a tool such as a small flathead screwdriver or pick. Step 2: Once loosened, slide the collar down the hose and pull the head off the hose. Step 3: Insert the bottom of the replacement head into the end of the hose. Step 4: While holding the head in place, slide the collar up the hose toward the head. Step 5: Push the collar onto the head. This will require some force. Pro Tip: Try putting the head upside down against a hard surface and using both hands to push the collar down onto the head. Step 6: Check the fitting to ensure it is secure. |
