circuit activates, immediately disconnect the unit from
the power source and allow it to cool.

•Hard Mounting:
This unit may be hard mounted in a dry location. Be
sure to use proper size wiring for your application.
When using this unit with an air tank, you must install a
back-flow preventing device to prevent damage to the
cylinder head air valve.

EXTRA CAUTION:
Small items will inflate quickly and can easily be
damaged.
Pay special attention to bicycle tires. They inflate very
fast and can rupture.
Be prepared to stop the unit quickly when
manufacturer’s recommended inflation pressure is
reached.
Operating Warning:
This unit is designed to supply continuous flow of air.
Never dead end the hose or use accessory that stop the
free flow of air. Damage to the unit can occur.
Operation:
When operating the unit, be sure to be in a safe location
off of the roadway and away from traffic.
Unpack the unit and inspect for damage. Fully unwrap
the power cord.
Place the unit on a dry level surface. Attach the air filter
to the front of the unit and finger tighten.
Connect the air supply hose to the unit using the quick
connect fitting.
1. Slide retaining snap ring back.
2. Slide the fittings together firmly.
3. While holding fittings together firmly slide the
outer ring forward to lock.
Connect the Red power clip to a Positive 12 volt
source. Connect the Black power clip to a Negative
ground point.
Test the connections by switching the compressor to
“on.” Air will begin to flow.
Connect the air hose by screwing the brass inflator onto
the tire valve stem. Only finger tighten the inflator. Do
not use any tool as you may damage the inflator or the
valve stem.
Watch the gauge closely, switch the unit off or remove
the inflator from the tire when the manufacturer’s
recommended pressure has been achieved.
We recommend that you use a second tire pressure
gauge to verify your tires are inflated to the proper
pressure.
Stopping and restarting: at high pressure can overload
and blow the in-line fuse. At higher inflation pressures,
start the unit and then attach to the filler to the tire valve
stem. If you stop the unit and need to resume inflation,
remove the inflator tip from the tire valve, start the unit
and reattach with the unit running.
Allow the compressor to cool and place neatly in the
carry bag with the clips securely fastened to the loops
on the carry bag. To prevent damage to the unit during
storage repack in the original Styrofoam and color box.
Store the unit in a dry location.
Remember to replace the valve cover on the stem.
Operating Hints
Turn the compressor on before connecting to the tire in
order to reduce stress on the motor.
We recommend an on\/off cycle time of 20 minutes
rest/off for every 40 minutes of run time.
To prevent damage to the air hose fitting, remove the
inflator from the tire before disconnecting the hose from
the compressor.
Troubleshooting
•If the unit stops during operation:
1. Check the battery condition. Low voltage can
blow the fuse or trigger the protection feature.
2. Check the circuit breaker reset if necessary.
3. The unit is equipped with an automatic protection
device. In the event the unit reaches an unsafe
operating temperature, a protection circuit will cut
power to prevent damage to the unit. If the
protection circuit activates, immediately disconnect
the unit from the power source and allow it to cool.
•Resetting Circuit Breaker:
The circuit breaker is located next to the on/off
switch. During normal operation it remains in
the down position almost even with the base.
In the event of and overload it will pop-up. If
this happens, Turn the power switch to off,
disconnect the air hose and power cord. Push
the breaker down to reset and resume
operation.
•If air is leaking from inflator end :
The inflator end has a dual function, to inflate
and deflate your tire. Be sure to fully extend
the brass inflator to inflate your tire. Push
back and turn the brass end to deflate.
Inspect inside the ez twist inflator for damage
to the O rings. If they are damaged contact
Q Industries for a replacement hose.
