FOR INFLATABLES
Unless directions are followed, physical injury or property damage may result.
When using the compressor, never leave it unattended.
Power required: 12 volts 10 amps. D.C.
This compressor is designed for occasional use only. Operation over an
extended period of time will overheat the unit and damage the compressor.
A sluggish operation of the compressor or if the exposed metal fittings
get too warm to the touch should indicate to you that the unit has been
operating too long and is overheating. When this occurs stop the unit
immediately, and let it cool for approximately 30 minutes before resuming
operation.
You may use a 12 volt battery charger to power this compressor, but it
must be rated at 10 amps or more to avoid damage to the compressor
and for the charger.
Do not use air inflator on high pressure tires such as those used on large
trucks.
Place connector on input valve stem (Fig.1) and push down. Close thumb
latch connector (Fig.2). Caution: Make sure the connector always touches
the core of tire valve stem.
Plug power cord into cigarette lighter receptacle.(Fig.3)
Then set compressor on/off switch to "on" position.
When proper pressure is reached, set on/off switch to "off" position, unplug
power cord and remove connector.
Select the suitable adapter and insert it into the connector. (Fig. 4) Close
thumb latch.

Typical Inflation Pressure
Check our TYPICAL INFLATION PRESSURE chart. This chart is for
reference only and you should consult your owner's manual for a more
exact pressure rating.
Insert adapter into article to be inflated. (Fig. 5)
Plug power cord into cigarette lighter receptacle (Fig. 3). Turn on switch.
When proper pressure is reached, turn off switch, unplug power cord.
Remove adapter from inflated article and remove adapter from
connector.
Avoid overinflating. NEVER EXCEED RECOMMENDED PRESSURE. The item
being inflated may burst and cause serious injury.

TROUBLE SHOOTING
COMPRESSOR RUNS BUT DOES NOT INFLATE
COMPRESSOR RUNS SLOWLY
COMPRESSOR DOES NOT START/BLOWS FUSES
Push the power plug firmly into the receptacle and twist it back & forth.
Check receptacle and plug terminals for dirt, particularly tobacco. Use a
non conductive probe, not fingers or metal.
Check vehicle lighter fuse. Should be 15 amps minimum.
Be sure the connector always touches the core of the valve stem.
Check article for leaks.
Check hose for breaks and leaks at fittings.
Overheated from excessive use. Shut it off and let it cool for 30
minutes.
Voltage too low. Check condition of battery.
Do not over inflate items beyond their needs. Most car tires will inflate
properly between 24 and 32 psi depending upon the tire. Some truck and
racing bicycle tires require pressure in excess of 40 psi. Other bicycle tires
may require substantially lower pressures.
Keep out of reach of children.
Do not leave unattended.
