RISK OF FALLING: This compressor will produce vibrations and
can “walk”. Only operate dry level ground.

RISK OF FIRE: This unit will become hot during operation. Allow to
cool before storing. NEVER operate the unit in an explosive
atmosphere or near combustible material. An explosion or fire
could result causing severe bodily harm or even death.

RISK OF BURSTING: Use only accessories rated for 120 psi.
Always follow the manufacturer’s recommended inflation
instructions for your item.

DO NOT MODIFY: Never drill, modify or attempt to repair the unit.

There are no user serviceable parts inside.
SAFE HANDLING: Never c arry the uni t by the hose or power cord.

Wash hands after use.

PAY AT T E N T I O N : Do not leave the unit running unattended.
SECURE THE LOCATION: Only operate this unit with the vehicle

in a level, dry location, well off the roadway and safe from traffic.
Be sure to stay out of the travel lane.

SECURE THE VEHICLE from moving. Always apply the parking
brake and put car into "Park" position. Be aware that even on level
ground as you inflate a tire you could cause the vehicle to rollaway.
It is recommended that you curb and block the tires as an extra
safety precaution against rollaway incidents.

FOR BEST PERFORMANCE: It is recommended that you

operate this unit with your vehicle’s engine running, outdoors and
in a well-ventilated area. NEVER run your engine indoors, in

poisonous gas produced by gas and diesel engines which can kill
you!

affect the unit’s performance

PROPER INFLATION: It is recommended that you always use a
second pressure gauge to verify the actual pressure inside the tires.
Set tires to the vehicle manufacture’s recommended tire pressure. If
you are unsure, contact the manufacturer.

LEAD ACID BATTERY PRECAUTIONS AND SAFETY: Never smoke or allow a spark or flame in the vicinity of the battery or engine. Batteries generate explosive gases!

Wear complete eye protection and clothing protection when working with lead-acid batteries.

Make sure someone is within range of your voice or close enough to come to your aid when you work with or near a lead-acid battery.

Have plenty of fresh water and soap nearby for use if battery acid contacts skin, clothing, or eyes. If battery acid contacts skin or clothing, wash immediately with soap and water.

Avoid touching your eyes while working with a battery. Acid particles (corrosion) may get into your eyes! If acid enters your eye, immediately flood eye with running cold water for at least 10 minutes. Get medical attention immediately.

Remove all personal metal items such as rings, bracelets, necklaces, and watches when working with a lead-acid battery. A lead-acid battery can produce a short circuit current high enough to weld a ring (or the like) to metal, causing a severe burn.

Take care not to drop a metal tool or other metal onto the battery. Metal may cause sparking or short circuit the battery or another electrical device. Sparking may cause an explosion.

NOTICE: Notice indicates important information that if not

followed may cause damage to the equipment.

FREE FLOW OF AIR: This unit is designed to supply a continuous

flow of air. Never dead end the hose or use an accessory that stops
the free flow of air. Damage to the unit can occur.

SMALL ITEMS: Will inflate quickly and can easily be damaged. Pay special attention to bicycle tires. They inflate very fast and can rupture. Be prepared to stop the unit quickly when manufacturer’s recommended inflation pressure is reached.

TURN OFF: All accessories and radios. Unpl ug any cigarette-lighter accessories such as cell phones, radar detectors, etc. As a voltage spike through the electrical system can damage these gadgets.

OPERATING TIME: For best results it is recommend that you use with a n on/off cycle time of 10 minutes, rest /off for every 10 minutes of run time.

ACCESSORIES: The accessories provided with this unit are the only items for use with this tool. See Fig. 2 below.

*Sport Ball Needle: Always moisten the inflation needle before you insert it into the valve. Preferably, use some silicon oil to moisten the needle. Some people use spit...that’s gross.

*Small and Large Extension Adapter: For inflating pool toys, rafts, beach balls and other items that have manual inflation valves.

*Air Chuck extension: For converting the EZ twist inflator end to a universal lever end. Not included with all models. Can be purchased at: MasterFlowAir.com

Operating Instructions:

First, stop and look around. Make sure you’re safe; don’t get killed by passing traffic.

This unit can be operated with the engine on or off.
It operates like any other battery powered tool drawing power from
the battery. Its performance will vary with the battery’s state of
charge. Actual operating time available with the engine off will vary
depending on your battery’s size, age, temperature and state of
charge. Typically with the engine running the charging system will
provide slightly more voltage to the unit thereby increasing the unit’s
performance.

Unpack the unit and completely un-wrap the power cord and inspect
for damage. Place the unit on a dry, level surface.

Connect the air supply hose to the unit buy screwing on the large
end of the hose to the unit as pictures below.

WARNING

This compressor is designed to operate from a 12-Volt, 20 Amp
cigarette lighter style receptacle. It is recommended that you

CONSULT YOUR OWNERS MANUAL FOR VEHICLE POWER
OUTLETS AMPERAGE RATING.

With the power cord completely unwrapped and plug in hand.
Inspect your cigarette lighter or power point receptacle for coins or
other debris. Tobacco ash can build up in cigarette lighter sockets,
preventing contact.
If all is clear, insert the plug into the receptacle. Be sure the power
plug is seated securely in the socket. Poor connection inside the
socket can cause overheating and damage the power plug or blow
the fuse

Test the connections by switching the compressor to “on” and air will begin to flow.

Connect the EZ twist adapter to the your tire valve or one of the accessories provided. The treads on your tire valves are delicate make sure they are clean and don’t use tools to tighten the inflator end.

Switch the unit “On” to begin inflating. Switching the unit off to observe the gauge will provide the most accurate pressure reading. For greater accuracy we recommend using a second gauge closely calibrated to your target inflation pressure.

After use allow the unit to cool, remove the hose and pack in the carry bag. Repack in the original box to prevent damage during storage. Keep the unit a dry location.

Troubleshooting:

• Check your connections:

Some vehicles must have the ignition switched to the “On” or
“Accessory” position to use the power point or cigarette lighter.

Inspect your cigarette lighter or power point receptacle for coins or
other debris and test with a separate device. Tobacco ash can
build up in cigarette lighter sockets, preventing contact. Check the
vehicle fuse and replace if necessary.

• If the unit stops during operation:

Be sure the power plug is seated securely in the socket. Pulling on
the cord can loosen the connection. Poor connection inside the
socket can cause overheating and damage the power plug or blow
the fuse. Inspect the fuse located in the end of the power supply
plug. Replace if necessary.

• Inspect the fuse:

Located inside the end of the cigarette lighter you will find a 12-Volt
20 Amp glass automotive fuse. A good fuse has a thin wire filament
inside the glass tube connecting both metal caps. When the fuse
blows that wire will melt anywhere between the metal caps.
Inspect the filament for damage. Replace if necessary.

• Air leaking from EZ twist inflator:

Inspect the end of the inflator for dirt and check your valve stem for
damage. Also check that the rubber seal inside the inflator end is
not damaged.

Here is how your inflator end should look.
Note the rubber seal around the air slot.
