Answer:
It's a bit tricky to connect the first few times you use it. You need to make sure the head is pushed all the way onto the valve and then rotate the little plastic dot to the side of the head on the pump the valve is connected to. It's really easy to get this wrong (done it several times), in which case you wonder whether you need to push it on harder. It's also easy on presta valves not to push the head on far enough. Hope that helps.

Obviously there's no instructions so can anyone give some simple step-by-step instructions on how to pump the tyres (presta ideally)?

Answer:
unscrew black cap if you have one then remove, then unscrew little bit at the top of valve until loose at this point if you press the valve air will release if it has air in it, then push the head of the pump which is at the end of the pipe on to valve and twist the lock the correct way (only 2 ways, one will work and the other way wont)Now stand up and grab the handles and push down then pull up then down then up then down then up then down then up etc until you get the correct pressure usually about 100psi depends what is written on the side wall of the tyre. Once you have required pressure undue lock then screw valve back into place and replace black cap. And enjoy

Answer:
I'm assuming that you know how to take the valve cap off and get the valve ready to put the head of the pump on. Once you've done that you make sure the head is in the unlocked position and push the head of the pump firmly onto the valve then twist the hose side to the lock position. You can then pump up the tyre as much as you need, with the pressure shown on the gauge. Once you're done, twist it back to the unlocked position and the head will pop off the valve.

Answer:
10 pumps = aprox. 1 PSI on a 255/35 R19 tyre
...so: slow work but fine for topping up when the temperature drops. You'll also need a pressure gauge accurate for the lower pressures seen in car tyres. Michelin do excellent digital meters - have a hunt on Amazon.

Answer:
It will probably do the job but this is a low volume high pressure pump which is what cycle tyres require (around 100psi+).
Cars and motorcycle tyres are high volume low pressure (35psi) so it would take many more stokes than a standard car foot pump to inflate the tyre
