Setup Instructions
- Locate the 12V DC Power Outlet: Identify the 12V DC power outlet (often labeled "cigarette lighter" or with a 12V symbol) in your vehicle. Ensure the vehicle's ignition is in the "ACC" (Accessory) or "ON" position, or the engine is running, as required by your vehicle for power delivery.
- Connect the Adapter to Vehicle: Insert the car plug end of the VACASSO 12V DC Adapter firmly into your vehicle's 12V DC power outlet.
- Connect the Adapter to Tire Inflator: Connect the other end of the VACASSO 12V DC Adapter to the power input port of your VACASSO KY103 Portable Tire Inflator. Ensure a secure connection.
- Verify Connection: Once connected, the tire inflator should be ready to receive power. Refer to your KY103 Tire Inflator's manual for specific power indicator lights or startup procedures.
Operating Instructions
The 12V DC Adapter serves as a power supply for the VACASSO KY103 Tire Inflator. Its operation is passive, providing power when connected correctly.
- Ensure Proper Connection: Follow the "Setup Instructions" above to ensure the adapter is correctly connected to both your vehicle's 12V DC outlet and the VACASSO KY103 Tire Inflator.
- Power On Tire Inflator: Once the adapter is connected and receiving power from the vehicle, operate your VACASSO KY103 Tire Inflator according to its specific user manual. The adapter simply facilitates the power connection.
- Disconnect After Use: After using the tire inflator, disconnect the adapter from both the tire inflator and the vehicle's 12V DC outlet. This prevents unnecessary power draw and ensures safety.
Important: Always ensure your vehicle's engine is running or the ignition is in the appropriate position to avoid draining your vehicle's battery when using the tire inflator.
