Operating Instructions

Important: Engine MUST be running while using this compressor.

Before attaching air compressor's power cord to power source, check to make sure that the ON/OFF switch of your compressor is in the OFF position.

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.

Tire Inflation

1. This compressor is designed to operate on 12 volts DC.
2. To obtain power, connect battery clamps to positive and negative terminals of battery.
3. Turn your vehicle engine on.
4. Attach the twist-on air chuck to the tire's valve stem.
5. Turn the compressor power switch to ON and begin to inflate tire.
6. When the pressure gauge indicates the desired pressure, switch the unit OFF and remove the air hose from the tire's valve stem.
7. To check and verify the actual tire pressure, the compressor must be in OFF position.

Please Note: During inflation, due to air velocity, pressure gauge cannot provide accurate pressure readings. To check and verify the actual tire pressure, the compressor must be in OFF position.

CAUTION: To avoid over inflation, never exceed recommended pressure. Doing so may cause articles to burst and can cause serious bodily injury. 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.

For All Other Inflatable Objects, Including Bicycle Tires, Toys, and Sports Balls:

IMPORTANT: Engine MUST be running while using this compressor.

1. A selection of inflation tips is provided to fit some inflatable objects. Simply screw the appropriate nozzle into the tip of the air hose.
2. Attach the appropriate nozzle to article to be inflated and turn the power switch to the ON position.
3. When article is inflated to desired firmness, turn the compressor off. Do not over inflate.

Turn OFF and unplug Air Compressor. Your air compressor is equipped with permanently lubricated, maintenance-free motor. Never try to lubricate the compressor. Use only mild soap and a cloth dampened with hot water to clean plastic parts. Avoid any type of detergents or solvents, which might contain chemicals that could damage plastic portions or painted surfaces of the compressor.
