IMPROPER OPERATION OR MAINTENANCE OF THIS PRODUCT COULD RESULT IN SERIOUS
INJURY AND PROPERTY DAMAGE. READ AND UNDERSTAND ALL WARNINGS AND OPERATING
INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING THIS EQUIPMENT.

WARNING: Some dust created by power sanding, sawing, grinding, drilling, and other construction

activities contains chemicals known (to the State of California) to cause cancer, birth defects or other
reproductive harm. Some examples of these chemicals are:

 lead from lead-based paints
 crystalline silica from bricks and cement and other masonry products
 arsenic and chromium from chemically-treated lumber

Your risk from these exposures varies, depending on how often you do this type of work. To reduce your
exposure to these chemicals: work in a well ventilated area, and work with approved safety equipment,
always wear MSHA/NIOSH approved, properly fitting face mask or respirator when using such tools.

When using air tools, basic safety precautions should always be followed to reduce the risk of
personal injury.

 Use 12 Volt DC only. Make sure that your vehicle 12 Volt power outlet is free of any ash residue or

debris. A dirty 12 Volt power outlet can cause the inflator and power cord to overheat. Overheating can
cause damage to your inflator/vehicle and could cause bodily harm or injury. Disconnect power when
not in use.

 This inflator is designed to inflate car tires, bike tires, ATV tires, sports equipment, air mattresses, beach

toys and other inflatables. Do not use for any purpose other than inflating. If you do so, bodily harm or
personal injury can occur.

 Do not operate the inflator in wet or damp areas.
 Operate the inflator only with the attachments that are included.
 USE SAFETY GLASSES. Also use face or dust mask if operation is dusty. It is recommended that your

vehicle’s 12 Volt battery be fully charged to get the best performance from your inflator. If your vehicle
battery is weak, the inflator will not work at its maximum output level.
