POWER SOURCE
Both the air compressor and air inflator can
be powered by both the Ni-Cd rechargeable
battery and the 12V cigarette lighter adapter.
RECHARGEABLE BATTERIES
The Inflation Station comes with two 9.6V
1,000 mAh Ni-Cd rechargeable batteries. The
two batteries are identical and can be used on
both the air compressor and air inflator. The
batteries can be charged either on the charger
station, or from the AC charger port on
the battery.
CHARGING BATTERY
ON THE CHARGER STATION
Before initial use, place both high-pressure air
compressor and high-volume air inflator on the
charger station for an initial charge time of 15 to
18 hours. Repeat charging times are approxi-
mately 8-12 hours, if batteries are depleted.
Warning! Failure to fully charge the battery will
result in shorter life, compromised perform-
ance and will void battery warranty. To keep
both air compressor and air inflator fully
charged at all times, place both units on the
charger station whenever they are not in use.
The charger station red LED indicator will be
“ON” once the air compressor and/or air infla-
tor has been properly placed on the station.The
charger station will control battery charging to
ensure optimal battery charge. We recommend
that if the inflation station is not going to be
used for an extended period of time (i.e. 4
months or more), the unit should be unplugged
and stored indoors. When the inflation station
is removed from storage, please re-charge for
15 to 18 hours before use.
CHARGING FROM THE AC CHARGER
PORT ON THE BATTERY
Remove the battery from the air compres-
sor/inflator by gripping the end of the battery
and pulling it out.The same AC charger can be
used to charge the battery directly by con-
necting the AC charger to AC charger port on
the battery and plugging the AC charger to an
110V-120V power source. The red LED indica-
tor will be “ON” when the battery is charging.
When charging directly from the AC charger
port on the battery, the charging time must
not exceed 24 hours. Repeat charging times
are approximately 10 -15 hours, if the battery
is depleted.

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.

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.
