OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS:
Pleasereadandfollowtheoperatinginstructionscarefullytoassurethatyouwillenjoythe
convenienceandbestuseoutofyouraircompressor.
1. AlwaysoperatethecompressorATORBELOWTHEMAXIMUMPRESSURERATINGofthe
compressor.RefertoSpecicationssectionofthismanual.
2. AlwaysOBSERVETHEMAXIMUMDUTYCYCLEoftheaircompressor.RefertoSpecications
sectionofthismanualfordetails.Operationsexceedingmaximumpressureratingsandorduty
cyclewillresultindamagetoaircompressor.
3. 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opower
toaircompressorshouldinternaloperatingtemperatureoftheaircompressorriseabovesafe
levelsduringexcessiveuse.
4. Shouldyourcompressorshutosuddenlyafterextendeduse,donotattempttorestartair
compressor.TurnON/OFFswitchofaircompressortotheOFFposition.Theautomaticthermal
overloadprotectorwillautomaticallyresetwheninternaltemperatureoftheaircompressordrops
belowsafelevel.Afterallowingaircompressortocooloforabout30minutes,youcansafely
resumeuseoftheaircompressorbyturningontheaircompressor.
5. Foryourconvenience,andtoprotecttheaircompressorfromover-pressureoperationthatcan
causepermanentdamagetotheunit-thiscompressorisequippedwithbuilt-inpressureswitch
withafactorysetcut-onpressureof130PSI(±5%)andafactorysetcut-opressureof
155PSI(±5%).Duringinationoftirepressuresbetween130PSIto155PSI,ifyoustopination,
thecompressormaynotrestart.Thisiscompletelynormal,sinceinlinepressureisgreaterthan
cut-onpressureofthepressureswitchandlessthancut-opressureofthepressureswitch.
Torestartcompressor,deatetirepressuretobelow130PSI,reconnecttirechucktotirevalve
stemandresumetireination.
6. Pleasenotethatyoumayexperienceaslightdelayofthecompressor’smotorstartingwhenthe
ON/OFFswitchisturnedonwhilecompressorispressurized(whenthereispressureintheline
thatthecompressorisconnectedto).Thisisanormaldelayedreaction,notaCompressor
ON/OFFswitchmalfunction.
7. 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.
8. ONLYOPERATETHEAIRCOMPRESSORINWELLVENTILATEDAREAS.
Compressorperformanceisenhancedwhenoperatingcompressorwithvehicleenginerunning.
IMPORTANT:Enginemustberunningwhileusingthiscompressor.
Beforeattachingaircompressorpowerclampstoyourvehicle’sbatteryterminals,checktomake
surethattheON/OFFswitchofyourcompressorisintheOFFposition.AttachthePositive(+)
batteryclamp(Red)tothePositiveterminalofthebatteryandtheNegative(-)batteryclamp(Black)
totheNegativeterminalofthebattery.Alwayskeepyourvehicle’senginerunningwhileoperating
compressortoavoiddrainingyourvehicle’sbattery.
CAUTION:YourPortableAirCompressorisMoistureandDustResistant,butNOTWATERORDUST
PROOF.Neverplacecompressorinsoftsandwhilerunningthecompressor.Vibrationfromthe
compressorwillcausethecompressortosettleintosoftsand,resultingincompressordrawingin
foreignparticles.Neverexposecompressortowaterwhilerunningthecompressor.
USER MANUAL

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS (cont’d):
This air compressor comes with 1/4” quick connect stud. An extension coil hose and a tire
ination gun are also included with your compressor. Each end of the extension coil hose is
equipped with a 1/4” quick connect coupler. The tire ination gun comes with a 1/4” quick
connect stud, pressure gauge, rubber hose, bleeder valve and tire chuck. Attach one end of
the extension coil hose to the stud on your compressor and the other end to the stud on the
tire gun kit. The tire gun kit can be used for both airing up and airing down. Please familiarize
yourself with the following functions of this versatile air tool:
TIRE INFLATION:
1. Attachoneendoftheextensioncoilhosetothecompressorandtheotherendtothetiregunkit,
45-degreeangledchuckor90-degreetwist-onchuck–dependingonneed.
2. Turncompressorswitchonandholddownthetriggeronthetiregunkittobeginination.
3. Whendesiredpressureisreached,releasethetrigger.Ifnishedwithuse,turnpowerswitchon
compressoroposition.
NOTE:Toreleaseexcesspressure,turnocompressoranddisconnecthosefromcompressor.
Withthetireinationgunstillconnectedtotheotherendofthecoilhose,pulltriggeronthetire
inationguntoreleaseexcesspressure.
CAUTION:Toavoidoverination,neverexceedrecommendedpressureonarticlestobeinated.
Burstingcancauseseriousinjury.
NOTE:Youraircompressorisequippedwithapressureswitch(cutonat130PSI,cutoat
155PSI).Thisfeatureisdesignedtoprotecttheaircompressorfromover-pressurecausing
permanentdamagetoyouraircompressor.Thepressureswitchautomaticallyturnsothemotor
whentheinternalpressureoftheaircompressorreachesthefactoryset”cut-o”pressureof
155PSIandrestartswhentheinternalpressuredropsbelow130PSI.
TIRE DEFLATION:
1. Withtheinationoptionofyourchoicestillconnectedtothetireinationgun,pressthebleeder
valvebuttononthetiregunkittodecreasetirepressure,pressthebleedervalvebuttononthetire
gunkittodecreasetirepressure.
2. Pressthebleedervalvebuttononthetiregunkittodecreasetirepressure.
3. Whendesiredpressureisreached,releasethebleedervalvebuttontohaltdeation.
IMPORTANT:Makesurecompressorsitsuprightwhileoperatingcompressor.Donotoperate
compressorinanyotherposition.Avoidtuggingatcompressortomoveit.Instead,move
compressortothesamesideofvehicleastiresthatarebeingairedup.
AlwaysmakesurethePortableCompressor’spowercordisuncoiledandfullyextended
whenusingyouraircompressortoavoidoverheatingthepowercord.
INLINE PRESSURE GAUGE:
1. Thepressuregaugeontheinationgunprovidesconvenienttirepressuremonitoringwhenairing
upordown(notairowofthecompressor).Thiseliminatesswitchingbackandforthbetweena
tirechuckandatirepressuregauge.
2. Pleasenotethatduringinationanddeation,duetoairvelocity,pressuregaugecannotprovide
accuratepressurereadings.Releaseleveronthetireinationgunduringinationtocheck
tire air pressure.
NOTE:Toreleaseexcesspressure,turnocompressoranddisconnecthosefromcompressor.
Withthetireinationgunstillconnectedtotheotherendofthecoilhose,pulltriggeronthetire
inationguntoreleaseexcesspressure.

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS:
1. Alwaysinatetirestomanufacturer’srecommendedtirepressures.Exerciseextremecaution
whendrivingwithaired-downtires.Reinatetiresbeforehigh-speedroadwaytravel.
2. Neverexceed20M.P.H.whendrivingwithpartiallyinatedtires.
3. Nevermakesharpturnswhiledrivingwithreducedtirepressure.
4. Re-inatetiresbeforehighspeedtravelingontoroadways.
5. Useheat-resistant,minimum200PSI-ratedworkingpressureextensionhose.
Donotuseaftermarkethoseswithlessthan200PSIworkingpressure.Someaftermarkethoses
maynotbesuitableforusewiththisaircompressorduetoheatandpressuretypicallygenerated
bythistypeofaircompressors.
CAUTION:Nevertouchtheaircompressororttingsconnectedtotheaircompressorotherthan
theON/OFFswitchwithbarehandsduringorimmediatelyafteruse.Theextensionhoseandttings
connectedextensionhosewillbecomeveryHOTduringandafteruse.Ifnecessary,wearheat
resistantglovestoremovehosefromthecompressorquickconnectstud.
MAINTENANCE & REPAIRS:
Youraircompressorisequippedwithpermanentlylubricated,maintenance-freemotor.
Nevertrytolubricatethecompressor.Regularlycleandustanddirtfromcompressorcoolingns
andmotorhousing.AllrepairsshouldbeperformedbyManufacturerorManufacturerauthorized
