HOW?? With an air tool meant to suck solvent / cleaner and spray it for cleaning...instead of sucking the solvent we attach to the valve stem and suck all the air out..

Air line attaches to the left end of gun in picture and blue hose attaches to valve stem and fitting close to it on the gun

The What and Why have been answered already..

It sounds like a wonderful engineering design. I'm sure the air sucking tool is available at any tire shop in the event an owner suffers a flat tire somewhere other than Alberta Canada.

I take my rear wheels/tires off a Sierra Truck Trike with full tire pressure in them. No problem.
