LUBRICATION OF INFLATOR
This inflator is OIL FREE. Therefore there is NO oil used for
lubrication.
ASSEMBLY
This inflator MUST be fully assembled by you prior to use.
Failure to do so will result in the warranty being VOID.
Failure to fully assemble this inflator may also result in
personal injury.
MANOEUVRING
When moving this inflator always use the handle to lift it and
be aware of this inflators weight. Failure to lift correctly may
result in personal injury.
SAFETY
Before attempting to operate this inflator the following basic
safety precautions should be taken to reduce the risk of
fire, electric shock and personal injury. It is important to
read the instruction manual and to understand applications,
limitations and potential hazards associated with the
inflator. This inflator is not intended for use by persons
(including children) with reduced physical, sensory or mental
capabilities, or lack of experience and knowledge, unless
they have been given supervision or instruction concerning
the use of the appliance by a person responsible for their
safety.
BEWARE OF CHILDREN
AND PETS
Children and pets should be kept out of the work area.
Children should not be allowed to touch or operate the
inflator, tools or extension cords. This inflator is not
designed for use by young children or infirm persons without
supervision. The inflator and tools should be kept out of
reach of children, preferably stored or locked in a secure
cabinet or room when not in use.
WORK AREA
Work areas and benches should be kept tidy. Cluttered
benches and work areas can cause accidents. Floors should
be kept clean and free from rubbish. Special care should
be taken when the floor is slippery due to sawdust or wax.
Always leave sufficient distance, at least 5 metres between
the inflator and the work area, especially when using tools
designed for sanding or spraying liquids.
WORK ENVIRONMENT
Do not expose your inflator to rain or use in damp or wet
conditions. Keep the work area well lit.
GUARD AGAINST ELECTRIC SHOCK
Avoid body contact with earthed or grounded surfaces (e.g.
pipes and refrigerators).
DO NOT OVERLOAD INFLATORS
The inflator will do a better, safer job and give you much
better service if it’s used at the duty cycle for which it was
designed. The duty cycle will only take effect after the initial
(1st) tank fill for the day. This inflators duty cycle is 50%.
Duty cycle is the proportion of time during which the inflator
is operating compared with not operating. For example a
50% duty cycle could mean after 30 seconds of operation,
motor pumping, the inflator must be left for 30 seconds
resting, motor not pumping. When the motor is pumping
the attached air tool can not be used. Only use the attached
air tool while the inflator is not pumping. Stop using the
attached tool as soon as the inflator starts pumping.
USE THE RIGHT TOOL
Select the right tool for the job. Do not use a tool for a job
for which it was not designed. Do not force a small inflator
to do the job of a heavy–duty inflator. Do not use the inflator
for purposes not intended.

DO NOT ABUSE THE POWER CORD
Never yank or pull on the power cord to disconnect it from
the mains supply socket. Never carry or pull your inflator
by its power cord. Keep the power cord away from heat,
oil, solvents and sharp edges. Regularly check the plug
and cord and if damaged have it replaced by an authorised
service facility.
EXTENSION CORDS AND REELS
This inflator MUST be plugged directly into a 240V AC wall
socket.
This inflator is NOT designed to be run off an extension cord/
lead. If you need extra distance do NOT use an extension
cord, USE A LONGER AIR HOSE.
The use of extension cords may cause power voltage loss
and will result in damage to the motor. This will NOT be
covered under warranty.
SECURE THE WORK PIECE
Whenever possible secure the work piece using clamps or
a vice. It is safer than using your hands or feet and leaves
both hands free to control the tool.
HOT COMPONENTS
Beware many of the components will get hot during use.
Never touch any of the metal pipes, pump or motor as these
may burn.
MAINTAIN YOUR INFLATOR WITH CARE
Follow the instructions for use and changing accessories.
Check the inflator power cord periodically and if damaged
have it replaced by an authorised service facility. Keep
handles clean, dry and free from oil and grease. Ensure
that ventilation slots are kept clean and free from dust at
all times. Blocked ventilation slots or air filter can cause
overheating and damage to the motor and this will not be
covered under warranty.
DISCONNECT INFLATOR
Ensure that the inflator is disconnected from the mains
supply when not in use, before servicing, making
adjustments or when changing any accessories.
REMOVE ADJUSTING KEYS
AND WRENCHES

keys or wrenches have been removed from the inflator or
attached air tools before operating.

never leaving your inflator turned on while not in attendance,
never cover the inflator while being used or while still hot
from use, never use in areas where a spark may cause
a fire, always use in clean areas. As a precaution it is
recommended that an expert is consulted on obtaining and
using a suitable fire extinguisher.

operate a inflator when you are tired, drinking alcohol, taking
drugs or if taking medication that causes drowsiness.
CHECK DAMAGED PARTS
Before using the inflator it should be carefully checked
to determine that it will operate properly and perform its
intended function.
Check for the correct alignment of moving parts ensuring
that they do not bind. Check for broken or missing parts
and have them replaced or repaired at an authorised
service facility. Check any other condition that may affect
the operation of the inflator. A guard or any other part of
the inflator that is damaged should be properly repaired or
replaced by an authorised service facility unless otherwise
indicated in this instruction manual.
Any switch that does not operate correctly must be replaced
by an authorised service facility.
DO NOT use the inflator if the ‘ON / OFF’ button does not
turn the inflator ‘ON’ and ‘OFF’.
