the initial use. For best results, charge
the battery in temperatures ranging
from 65°F (18°C) to 75°F (24°C).
Operation
Battery must be
charged before
initial use and if the yellow light
comes on. If the power is totally
drained from the battery and not re-
charged, the battery may not be re-
chargeable. Recharge the unit every 3-
to-6 months even if the unit has not
been used.
120-VOLT AC RECHARGING
To recharge the battery using the 120-
volt AC adapter, follow the subsequent
procedures:
1. Push the power switch to the off
position and insert the 120-volt AC
recharging adapter into the AC
charge input socket located next to
the power switch.
2. Plug the charger into a 110/120-volt
electrical outlet.
3. The red charging light will come on
indicating the battery is recharging
and will remain on until charger is
removed. No other indicator lights
will come on.
4. Charge the inflator for 14 to 16
continuous hours before initial use.
After multiple uses, recharge the
battery for 7 to 9 hours. If the unit
is used too long after the yellow
light comes on, recharging time
could take up to 20 hours and the
battery life may be shortened.
Do not operate
the unit while
recharging with the 120-volt AC
adapter. Damage will occur to the
charger.
