USER MANUAL
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS:
Your TLC LITE is powered via the Aux-port of your vehicle. To avoid draining your battery and assure
the compressor is getting the proper amperage, make sure your vehicle’s engine is running during
operation, especially if using for a prolonged period of time.
USING THE COMPRESSOR:
The TLC LITE requires a power port rated for 15-Amps. Most automotive cigarette lighter/power
ports can handle 15-Amps, however, some vehicles’ power ports may have lower amp ratings.
Before purchasing and using this unit, inspect the amp draw limitations of your vehicle’s power port.
Never install fuses featuring amps beyond the original rating of the circuit. Consult your vehicle’s
manual for further details.
a.ConnecttheCoilHosetotheQuickConnectStudonyourTLCLITE.
b.ConnecttheTLCInatortotheotherendoftheCoilHose.
c. Connect the TLC LITE to an Aux-port in your vehicle.

f. You’re now ready to perform your pneumatic tasks!
Important Note: This compressor is moisture & dust resistant, but NOT DIRT OR WATERPROOF. Do
not store the compressor in locations where the unit is likely to come in contact with the elements.

this will release air from the tire.
3. Checking Tire Pressure:
Tochecktirepressureafterination/deation,simplyreleasetheInationTriggerortheBleeder
Valve. This will allow the needle in the gauge to settle and show the accurate pressure reading.
YoucanalsochecktirepressurebysimplyconnectingtheTLCInatortoatirevalvestem.
4. Storage:
AlwaysstoretheTLCInatorinthecarrybagprovidedtoprotectitfromimpactordamage.

ambient temperatures and operating conditions.
ABOUTRATEDWORKINGPRESSURE:
To ensure trouble free service life of your compressor, always operate compressor within rated
workingpressureofthecompressor.Neveruseapressureswitchwithahighercut-opressure
than compressor’s rated working pressure.
