Fi ing Air Fil er Uni
The air compressor comes originally pac ed without the air filter
unit fitted.
Procedure -
1. Remove the temporary protective red plug from the air inlet
port.
2. Screw in the air filter unit and hand tighten. Do not use Teflon
tape or lubricants on the thread.
3. Snap off the top lid to chec if the element is correctly in place.
Impor an Safe y Ins ruc ions
> Do not disassemble. Do not attempt repairs or modifications.
Your warranty will be void if this instruction is ignored.
> Do not use this product in an area where it can fall or be pulled
into water or other liquids.
> The base tray is fitted to place a barrier between the
compressor and sandy or dusty ground, plus provide a stable
operating platform, therefore eep the tray clean at all times
during use.
> Use this compressor with 12 volt DC power only.
> This product should never be left unattended during use.
Warning - To Prevent Injuries
> This compressor will become very HOT during and immediately
after use. Do not touch any part of this compressor with bare
hands, other than the on/off switch.
> Never allow children to operate this compressor. Close
supervision is necessary when this compressor is being used
near children.
> Do not pump anything other than atmospheric air.
> Do not use any other tools or attachments without first
determining maximum air pressure for that tool or
attachment.
> This air compressor is equipped with an automatic reset
thermal protector and can automatically restart after the
thermal protector resets. Always turn off the power when the
thermal protector becomes activated.
> Exercise extreme caution and never exceed 25mph (40 ph)
when driving with deflated tyres.
> Never ma e sharp turns while driving with reduced tyre
pressure as you could brea the bead between the wheel rim
and the tyre.
> Re-inflate tyres to manufacturers recommended tyre pressure
before high speed travelling on roadways.
General Opera ing Ins ruc ions
Please read and follow the operating instructions carefully to
assure you will enjoy the convenience and best use of your air
compressor.
Impor an
1. Always operate the compressor within its maximum pressure
rating. Refer to the specifications section of this manual for
details. Operations exceeding maximum pressure rating will
result in damage to air compressor and void warranty.
2. Your air compressor is equipped with an automatic thermal
overload protector. This feature is designed to protect the air
compressor from over-heating and causing permanent damage
to your air compressor. The thermal overload protector will
automatically cut off power to the air compressor if internal
operating temperature rise above safe levels during excessive
use.
3. Should at any time during usage your air compressor
automatically shuts down, do not attempt to restart the air
compressor. Turn off the power switch. The automatic thermal
overload protector will automatically reset when internal
temperature of the air compressor drops to a safe level. After
allowing the air compressor to cool off for about 15 minutes,
you can safely resume usage of the air compressor by turning
on the power switch - your warranty will be void if this
instruction is not followed.
4. It is strongly recommended that you eep the vehicle engine
running whilst using the air compressor to prevent discharge
of your vehicle battery. This means you should ONLY OPERATE
THE AIR COMPRESSOR IN WELL VENTILATED AREAS.
Compressor performance is also enhanced when operating
with the vehicle engine running.
5. Please note that you may experience a slight delay (about 30
seconds) to the compressor motor starting when the
compressor is pressurised (i.e. when there is bac pressure in
the line). This is a normal delayed reaction, not a compressor
on/off switch malfunction.
Main enance
> The air filter housing has a snap-off lid to gain access to the
replaceable air filter element inside. The compressor
performance will be greatly lowered by a clogged filter element.
Old elements should be replaced before performance is
affected.
> Your air compressor is equipped with a permanently lubricated,
maintenance free motor. Never try to lubricate the
compressor.
> Regularly clean dust and dirt from the compressor cooling fins
and motor housing.
Tyre Infla ion Opera ing Ins ruc ions
Before attaching the air compressor power cord to the 12 volt
DC power source, chec to ma e sure that the power switch is
in the off position. Attach the red battery clamp to the positive
terminal of the battery and the blac battery clamp to the
negative terminal of the battery, ensuring you have made a
good connection. Always eep your vehicle engine running while
operating the compressor to avoid draining the vehicle battery.
Always ma e sure the portable compressors 2.4 metre power
cord is uncoiled and fully extended to avoid overheating of the
power cord.
The air compressor comes with a heavy duty, heat resistant
coiled air hose with a quic connect air outlet fitting. Simply
snap on this coil house and you are ready to inflate tyres.
Tyre Infla ion
1. Attach quic connect coupler to air compressor.
2. Screw brass connector onto tyre valve stem.
3. Turn compressor switch on to begin inflation.
4. While the compressor is running the gauge always reads the
air line pressure and not the tyre pressure. For an accurate
tyre pressure reading momentarily stop inflation by turning
off the compressor and allow the air line pressure to
equalise with the tyre pressure. While the compressor is
turned off the gauge will read an accurate tyre pressure.
5. Turn off the compressor and disconnect when the correct
tyre pressure has been reached.
In-Line Pressure Gauge
1. The 50mm in-line gauge provides convenient monitoring of
tyre pressure when inflating. This eliminates switching bac
and forth between a hand-held pressure gauge and the
compressor.
2. Please note that during inflation, due to air velocity, the
pressure gauge cannot provide accurate readings.
Momentarily stop inflation to obtain accurate pressure
readings.
