2. Open thepump connector on theair hose by lifting thelocking lever. Press
thepump connector onto thevalve of thetyre and lock it in place by lowering
thelocking lever.
3. Turn thecompressor on and inflate thetyre to therecommended pressure
(refer to thecar’s handbook or marking on thetyre itself). Turn thecompressor
off, open thepump connector and remove it from thevalve of thetyre. Unplug
thecompressor from thecar’s 12 V socket. Coil up theair hose and thepower lead.
Car tyres should normally be inflated to pressures ranging from 1.65 bar (24 psi)
to 2.2 bar (32 psi). Tyres for large vehicles might need apressure up to
2.75 bar (40 psi). Tyres are marked with their maximum pressure in psi or bar.
4. Theincluded bicycle adapter should be used for inflating bicycle tyres with
older types of valves.
• To avoid overheating, under normal load thecompressor should not be used
continuously for more than 10 minutes at atime. If you need to inflate for longer
you should wait for 10 minutes before starting thecompressor again.
• For heavy loads (pressure over 5 bar), let thecompressor rest after 7 minutes use.
• If thecompressor still overheats, shut it off and let it cool for 30 minutes before you
start it again. Let thecompressor cool down before putting it away for storage.
Inflating inflatable toys, etc.
1. Choose asuitable adapter nozzle or pump needle and insert it into thevalve of
theobject which you wish to inflate.
2. Attach thecompressor to the12 V socket to start theinflation.
3. Unplug the12 V plug when thedesired pressure has been reached.
Note: Toys and airbeds can burst if you over-inflate them! Be careful and always check
thepressure of theobject during theinflation. Never inflate anobject to ahigher
pressure than theone which is recommended.
