The Air Compressor has been specially
designed for simple and fast inflation
of car tires, bicycle tires, basketball,
sporting equipment, and party
balloons.The air compressor provides
a small quantity of air at a relatively
high pressure.
INFLATING A CAR TIRE
AND BICYCLE TIRE
1. With power switch in “O” (off)
position, roll out the 12V cord from
storage compartment, and connect
the 12V car cigarette lighter adapter
to the cigarette lighter socket in
your car.
2. To choose desired pressure format
PSI, BAR, KPA, press the “M” button.
Each press of the “M” button cycles
through the pressure format.
3. Press “+” or “-” for 3 seconds to
check pre-set level. Adjust to desired
level by pressing “+” or “-”. Once
pre-set pressure is set, wait a few
seconds for display to change back
to zero.
4. Screw the thread connector onto
tire’s valve stem. When connected
correctly the gauge will display the
current pressure in the tire.
5. Turn the “I/O” switch to the “I”
position.Your compressor will
now inflate your tire to the pre-set
pressure level, and will shut
off automatically.
6. Remove the thread connector from
the tire.
7. Disconnect the 12V car cigarette
lighter adapter from the cigarette
lighter socket and store the 12V cord
into the compartment area.
Note:To avoid over-inflation of tires,
please check the recommended car
tire pressure in the vehicle’s owner’s
manual. For bicycle tire, please check
the tire marking.
INFLATING SPORTING EQUIPMENT
(I.E. BASKETBALL) OR PARTY BALLOONS
1. With power switch in “O” (off)
position, roll out the 12V cord from
storage compartment, and connect
the 12V car cigarette lighter adapter
to the cigarette lighter socket in
your car.
2. Screw the ball/balloon adapter into
the thread connector.
3. Insert the ball/balloon adapter into
valve of the object to be inflated.

4. Turn the “I/O” switch to the “I”
position. Operate the air compressor
until the desired firmness is reached,
or the object is fully inflated.
5. Pull ball/balloon adapter from the
inflated object’s valve and unscrew
ball/balloon adapter from the
thread connector.
6. Disconnect the 12V car cigarette
lighter adapter from the cigarette
lighter socket and store the 12V cord
into the compartment area.
Note: If a pressure reading is required
during inflation, the built-in pressure
gauge will provide an estimated
reading only.

 CAUTION 
•Do not run the air compressor
continuously for more than
20 minutes. After each 20 minutes,
allow it to cool for a minimum of
20 minutes.
•Do not leave the air compressor
unattended while in operation.
Keep out of reach of children.
•Do not exceed maximum pressure
of 120 psi.
•The built-in pressure gauge will
provide an estimated reading
only. Please use a digital pressure
gauge for more accuracy pressure
information.

INFLATION INSTRUCTION
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 and an extension hose provid-
ed 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. With power switch in “O” (off)
position, roll out the 12V cord from
storage compartment, and connect
the 12V car cigarette lighter adapter
to the cigarette lighter socket in
your car.
2. Insert the appropriate inflatable
adapter into inflation outlet.
3. Insert adapter into the air valve of the
object to be inflated.
4. Turn the “I/O” switch to the “I”
position. Operate the air inflator until
the desired firmness is reached.
5. Remove adapter from the inflated
object valve and close the valve cap.
6. Disconnect the 12V car cigarette
lighter adapter from the cigarette
lighter socket and store the 12V cord
into the compartment area.
DEFLATING PROCEDURE
1. With power switch in “O” (off)
position, roll out the 12V cord from
storage compartment, and connect
the 12V car cigarette lighter adapter
to the cigarette lighter socket in
your car.
2. Insert the inflatable adapter into
deflation outlet.
3. Insert adapter into the valve of the
object to be deflated.
4. Turn the “I/O” switch to the “I”
position. Operate the air inflator until
desired deflation is reached.
5. Remove adapter from the deflated
object valve.
6. Disconnect the 12V car cigarette
lighter adapter from the cigarette
lighter socket and store the 12V cord
into the compartment area.

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 mattresses or large
inflatable objects may have two sizes
of air valve, always inflate from the
largest valve to get maximum
performance.
INFLATION INSTRUCTION
 CAUTION 
•Do not run the air inflator for
continuously for more than
20 minutes. After each 20 minutes,
allow it to cool for a minimum of
20 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.
