General Operating Instructions (please read)
Important:
Always operate the compressor within its maximum pressure rating. Refer to
the specications section of this manual for details. Operations exceeding
maximum pressure rating will result in damage to air compressor and
void warranty.
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 air compressor should internal
operating temperature rise above safe levels during excessive use.
Should at any time during usage your air compressor automatically shut down,
do not attempt to restart air compressor. Turn off the power switch. The
automatic thermal overload protector will automatically reset when internal
temperature of the air compressor drops to safe levels. After allowing 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.
It is strongly recommended that you keep the vehicle’s engine running while
using the air compressor to prevent discharge of your vehicle’s battery. This
means you should ONLY OPERATE THE AIR COMPRESSOR IN WELL VENTILATED
AREAS. Compressor performance is also enhanced when operating with the
vehicle’s engine running.
Please note that you may experience a slight delay (about 3 sec) to the
compressor’s motor starting when the compressor is pressurised, (i.e. when
there is back pressure in the air line) This is a normal delayed reaction, not a
compressor on/off switch malfunction

• The air lter housing has a screw-on lid to gain access to the replaceable air
lter element inside. The compressor’s performance will be greatly reduced
by a clogged lter 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 compressor.
• Regularly clean dust and dirt from compressor cooling ns and motor housing.
Before attaching the air compressor’s power cord to the 12 Volt D.C. power
source, check to make sure that the power switch is in the ‘Off’ position. For rst
time use ensure air lter is tted correctly (see page 7). Attach the Red battery
clamp to the Positive terminal of the battery and the Black battery clamp to the
Negative terminal of the battery, ensuring you have made a good connection.
Always keep your vehicle’s engine running while operating compressor to avoid
draining your vehicle’s battery.
Always make sure the portable compressor’s 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
quick connect air outlet tting. Simply snap on this coil hose and you are ready to
inate tyres. Also included is an in-line deator / inator device.
Maintenance
Tyre Ination Operating Instructions

Page 6
Hands Free Continuous Deation
Intermittent Deation
Fit connector onto tyre valve stem.
Push deator collar towards tyre valve stem and turn deator collar
clockwise to engage lock.
When desired pressure is reached, turn deator collar anti-clockwise to
disengage lock.
The intermittent deation function offers fast downward
pressure adjustments.
With connector attached to tyre valve stem push deator collar towards
tyre valve stem to release tyre pressure.
Release deator collar to stop deation.
The 50mm in-line gauge provides convenient monitoring of tyre pressure
when deating or inating. This eliminates switching back and forth
between a hand-held pressure gauge and the compressor.
Please note that during ination and deation, due to air velocity, the
pressure gauge cannot provide accurate readings. Momentarily stop
ination to obtain accurate pressure readings.

Remove the temporary protective red plug from the air inlet port.
Screw in the air lter unit & hand tighten. Do not use Teon tape or
lubricants on the thread.
Unscrew the top lid to check if the element is correctly in place.

Procedure:
Fitting Air Filter Unit
• Do not disassemble. Do not attempt repairs or modications. 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 tted to place a barrier between the compressor & sandy or
dusty ground, plus provide a stable operating platform, therefore keep the
tray clean at all times during use.
• Use this compressor with 12Volt DC power only.
• This product should never be left unattended during use.
Important Safety Instructions

Page 8
Warning: To prevent injuries
• Parts of this compressor will become very HOT during & immediately after use.
Do not touch any of these parts with your bare hands as you could receive a
severe burn.
• 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 rst determining maximum
air pressure for that tool or attachment.
• This air compressor is equipped with an Automatic Reset Thermal Protector, &
can automatically restart after the thermal protector resets. Always turn off
the power when thermal protector becomes activated.
• Never Point any air nozzles toward another person or any part of the body.
• After use, always release pressure from the hose by turning ON/OFF switch to
OFF. Press trigger on the tyre gun – this releases pressure in system. Disconnect
hose & gun.
• Exercise extreme caution & never exceed 40 KPH when driving with
deated tyres.
• Never make sharp turns while driving with reduced tyre pressure as you could
break the ‘bead’ between the wheel rim & the tyre.
• Re-inate tyres to manufacturer’s recommended tyre pressure before high
speed travelling on roadways.

Troubleshooting
Problem Cause Action
Compressor will not run 1. No power is reaching the
compressor.
2. Blown fuse.
3. Motor overheated.
1. Make sure compressor
switch is “On”.
2. Disconnect compressor
from power source, replace
fuse (Refer to Specications
sections for correct fuse).
3. Let compressor cool off
for about 15 minutes so
thermal overload switch will
reset.
Thermal Overload Protector
cuts out repeatedly
1. Lack of proper
ventilation/ ambient
temperature is too high.
2. Compressor valves failed.
1. Move compressor to
well ventilated area, or
area with lower ambient
temperature.
2. Replace compressor.
Excessive knocking or
rattling
1. Worn bearing on
eccentric or motor shaft.
2. Cylinder or piston ring is
worn.
1. Replace compressor.
2. Replace compressor.
Compressor air ow lower
than normal, or can not
pump to higher pressures
1. Worn piston ring or inlet
valves.
1. Replace compressor
