GENERAL SAFETY RULES and WARNINGS
WARNING!
Failure to follow warnings and comply with all instructions listed below could
result in fire, property damage or injury to persons.
• Keep children and others away while operating inflator.
• Keep the inflator dry, clean and free from oil and grease. Always use a clean
cloth when cleaning. Never use typical vehicle fluids such as brake fluid, gasoline, any petroleum products or strong solvents to clean inflator.
• Operate inflator in an open area and away from any objects that could restrict
the flow of air to ventilation openings.
• Do not operate inflator near fire, flammable liquids or in gaseous or explosive
atmospheres.
Always wear eye protection.
• Always use in a safe area away from traffic and other dangers.
• Do not attempt to disassemble inflator. No user serviceable parts inside. Only
user serviceable part is fuse replacement. See maintenance section on page 7.
• Before each use, always check inflator hoses and 12 Volt cord for weak or worn
condition and make certain all connections are secure. Do not use if a defect is
present.
• Do not pull or carry the inflator by the power cord or air hose.
• Do not over stretch power cord or air hose.
• Never point an inflator air hose toward yourself, others or animals.
• Never start a vehicle with the inflator plugged into the DC 12 Volt power socket.
See operation instructions on pages 5 through 6.
• Use the inflator for its intended use only. Do not alter or modify the inflator.
Do not store inflator in a damp or wet location. Protect the inflator from rain,
snow or other moisture sources.
• When not in use, make certain the inflator power button is in the off position.
See #1 in figure 1, page 3. Store inflator out of the reach of children.
• IMPORTANCE OF PROPER TIRE PRESSURE
— Correct tire pressure is vital to road safety.
— Correct tire pressure can help improve vehicle fuel economy.
— Regularly check tires on vehicles to meet manufacturer’s recommended tire
pressure.
— Always check pressures at ambient temperature, never check immediately
following a long trip.
WARNING: COMPRESSED AIR CAN BE DANGEROUS
— Never allow children to use this inflator.
— Never leave inflator unattended while running.
— Never over-inflate items. Over-inflation could cause property damage or
personal injury.
— Check manufacturer’s recommended inflation pressure before starting the
inflation process.
WARNING: VEHICLE EXHAUST WITHOUT PROPER VENTILATION IS EXTREMELY
DANGEROUS
— Never start and leave a vehicle running in a confined or enclosed space such as
a garage. Start and run vehicles outdoors.

INFLATOR OPERATION
TO INFLATE TIRES:
1. Remove and unwind 12 Volt power cord (see #13 in figure 1, page 3) from the storage compartment. See #10 in figure 1.
2. Make certain the inflator power switch is in the off position. See #1 in figure 1.
3. Set emergency brake and start vehicle engine. See “Warning: Vehicle Exhaust Without
Proper Ventilation”, page 4.
4. Plug inflator lighter plug into vehicle 12 Volt cigarette lighter socket.
5. Check manufacturer’s recommended tire pressure specifications indicated on the tire
sidewall.
6. Locate the dial pressure gauge (see #3 in figure 1) and turn the pre-set dial until the
auto shut-off indicator/stop is set to the desired shut-off pressure. See figure 2, page
3. The pre-set inflation feature will automatically stop inflating once a predetermined
pressure has been reached.
7. Unwind the air hose from its storage channel and attach air hose nozzle to vehicle tire
valve stem by threading the nozzle onto the stem clockwise until secure. See #6 in
figure 1. Do not turn inflator on.
NOTE: When the nozzle is connected correctly, wait 5-7 seconds and the gauge will
indicate the current tire pressure. Always follow the manufacturer’s inflation pressure recommendations to avoid over-inflation. If the tire is over-inflated, press the deflation bleeder
valve button to release air until pressure gauge indicates the correct pressure. See #8 in
figure 1.
The pressure gauge on the inflator is for reference only and is therefore not binding for
exact values. While inflating, the gauge is a measurement of the fluctuating pressure
between the tire and the high pressure hose. To reduce the risk of over-inflation, use a reliable pressure gauge periodically during inflation before driving a vehicle inflated with the
inflator.
8. Turn on inflator power switch to the on position. See #1 in figure 1. The BellAire™
3000 will now inflate your tire to the pre-set pressure level and then shut off automatically. After pre-set auto shut-off has taken place, turn inflator power switch to the off
position. See #1 in figure 1.
9. To stop inflator before reaching the pre-set auto shut-off pressure, turn inflator power
switch to the off position. See #1 in figure 1.
10. Remove air hose nozzle from vehicle tire valve stem by turning air hose nozzle counterclockwise and return air hose to its built-in storage location on inflator.
11. Unplug inflator from vehicle 12 Volt cigarette lighter socket and store cord in its storage compartment.
12. Turn off vehicle.
TO INFLATE SPORTS BALLS AND OTHER HIGH PRESSURE SMALL INFLATABLES:
1. Remove and unwind 12 Volt power cord (see #13 in figure 1, page 3) from the storage compartment. See #10 in figure 1.
2. Unwind air hose from its storage channel (see #6 in figure 1) and select one of the
small adapter needles provided in the storage compartment. See figure 3, page 3.
3. Attach the adapter needle to the air hose nozzle by turning the adapter needle clockwise.
4. Check manufacturer’s recommended pressure specifications for inflatable.
5. Locate the dial pressure gauge (see #3 in figure 1) and turn the pre-set dial until the
auto shut-off indicator/stop is set to the desired shut-off pressure. See figure 2, page
3. The pre-set inflation feature will automatically stop inflating once a predetermined
pressure has been reached.
6. Insert adapter needle into inflatable.
