Setup
1. Charging the Battery
Before first use, fully charge the 20V Lithium-ion battery. Connect the battery to a compatible charger (not explicitly detailed in product info, assume standard charging method for 20V batteries). A full charge ensures optimal performance and runtime.
2. Connecting Power Source
The Airkit-3 offers two power options:
- 20V Rechargeable Battery: Slide the fully charged 20V battery into the battery port at the base of the compressor until it clicks into place.
- 12V DC Car Power Adapter: If the battery is depleted or for continuous use, connect the 12V DC car power adapter to the compressor's 12V input port and plug the other end into your vehicle's 12V accessory socket (cigarette lighter). The 3-meter cord allows for convenient reach around the vehicle.

- Wipe the exterior of the compressor with a soft, damp cloth. Do not use harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
- Keep the air vents clear of dust and debris to ensure proper cooling.
2. Storage
- Store the compressor and its accessories in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures.
- Ensure the air hose is neatly coiled and the nozzles are stored securely to prevent loss.
- For long-term storage, it is recommended to partially charge the battery (around 50%) and recharge it every few months to maintain battery health.
