HIGH-VOLUME AIR INFLATOR
The Air Inflator is designed for quick and easy
inflation and deflation of high air volume
objects such as air mattresses, rafts, inflatable
toys and pool toys.
BEFORE INFLATING
Choose the appropriate inflatable adapter.
There are four inflatable adapters provided
for high-volume inflation/deflation.The small
and medium adapters must be used with the
inflatable connector provided. The inflatable
connector and large adapter can be directly
attached to the inflation air outlet.
INFLATING PROCEDURE
1. Insert the appropriate inflatable adapter
into inflation outlet.
2. Insert adapter into the air valve of the
object to be inflated.
3. Press the trigger once for continuous
inflation.
4. Operate the air inflator until the desired
firmness is reached.
5. Pressure the trigger twice to stop inflation.
6. Remove adapter from the inflated object
valve and close the valve cap.
DEFLATING PROCEDURE
1. Insert the inflatable adapter into
deflation outlet.
2. Insert adapter into the valve of the object
to be deflated.
3. Press the trigger once for continuous
deflation.
4. Operate the air inflator until desired
deflation is reached.
5. Pressure the trigger twice to stop deflation.
6. Remove adapter from the deflated
object valve.
Note: Make sure the stop valve or resisted
valve is opened, before inflation or deflation.
INFLATION TIPS FOR LARGE OBJECTS:
The performance of an air inflator depends on
air flow rate, size of adapter and the valve of the
inflatable object. The smaller the valve and/
or adapter used, the lower the air flow rate.
Therefore, always buy inflatable objects with
the largest possible valves.Typically, air mat-
tresses or large inflatable objects may have
two sizes of air valve, always inflate from the
largest valve to get maximum performance.
CAUTION
•Do not run the air inflator for continuously for more than 15 minutes. After each
15 minutes, allow it to cool for a minimum of 15 minutes.
•Do not leave the air inflator unattended while in operation. Keep out of reach of children.
•Make sure the stop valve or resisted valve is opened, before inflation or deflation.
