OPERATION
LED FUNCTIONS OF CHARGER
LED WILL BE ON TO INDICATE STATUS OF
CHARGER AND BATTERY PACK:
Red LED on = Fast charging mode.
Green LED on = Fully charged and in maintenance charge
mode.
Green LED on = When battery pack is inserted into
charger, indicates hot battery pack or that battery pack
is out of normal temperature range.
Yellow and Green LEDs on = Deeply discharged or
defective battery pack.
No LED on = Defective charger or battery pack.
CHARGING THE BATTERY PACK
The battery pack for this inflator has been shipped in a low
charge condition to prevent possible problems. Therefore,
you should charge it until the green LED on the front of the
charger comes on.
NOTE: Batteries will not reach full charge the first time they
are charged. Allow several cycles (operation followed by
recharging) for them to become fully charged.
CHARGING A COOL BATTERY PACK
If battery pack is within normal temperature range, the red
LED on charger will come on.
NOTE: If the charger does not charge the battery pack
under normal circumstances, return both the battery pack
and charger to your nearest Authorized Service Center for
electrical check.
Charge the battery pack only with the charger provided.
Make sure the power supply is normal household
voltage, 120 volts, 60 Hz, AC only.

Place the battery pack in the charger aligning raised rib
on the battery pack with the groove in the charger. See
Figure 3.
Press down on the battery pack to be sure contacts on the
battery pack engage properly with contacts in the charger.
Normally the red LED on charger will come on. This
indicates the charger is in fast charging mode.
Red LED should remain on for approximately 1 hour
then the green LED will come on. Green LED on
indicates battery pack is fully charged and charger is
in maintenance charge mode.
NOTE: The green LED will remain on until the battery pack
is removed from the charger or charger is disconnected
from the power supply.
If both yellow and green LEDs come on, this indi-
cates a deeply discharged or defective battery pack.
Allow the battery pack to remain in the charger for 15
to 30 minutes. When the battery pack reaches normal
voltage range, the red LED should come on. If the
red LED does not come on after 30 minutes, this may
indicat e a defective battery pack that should be
replaced.
After normal usage, a minimum of 1 hour of charging time
is required to fully recharge battery pack.
The battery pack will become slightly warm to the
touch while charging. This is normal and does not
indicate a problem.

OPERATION
INFLATING WITH THE HIGH PRESSURE AIR
HOSE AND ADAPTORS
See Figure 10 - 13.
The high pressure air hose can be used with the provided
adaptors to inflate a variety of items.
Insert adaptor into air chuck and push air chuck clamp
down until it locks into place.
To remove, lift air chuck clamp up and remove adaptor
from air chuck.
ADAPTORS
See Figures 10 - 12.
The supplied adaptors perform a variety of functions. The
Schrader valve removal tool can be used to remove valve
cores for quick deflation.
The tapered adaptor can be used on smaller pinch valves
to inflate items like floats and children’s toys, which usually
require the user to inflate them by blowing air into them.
The sport ball needle can be used to inflate any type of
sports ball or any other item that requires an inflation sport
ball needle.
To use the sport ball needle:
Insert sport ball needle into sports ball valve and in-
flate.
Remove sport ball needle after inflation.
NOTE: Pressure required for most sports balls is too low for
accurate reading on gauge.
The Presta valve adaptor can be used for Presta valve stems
as described below. (See Figure 12) Before inflating a tire
with a Presta valve, loosen the locking nut on the valve stem
to inflate. Once inflation is complete, tighten the locking nut
to seal the tire valve.
To use the Presta valve adaptor:
Loosen Presta valve locking nut.
Thread Presta valve adaptor onto valve stem with larger
open end toward wheel.
Position the air chuck clamp in the unlock position.
Clamp the end of the air chuck down onto the Presta
valve adaptor by pressing air chuck clamp down until it
locks into place.
After inflation, remove air chuck and tighten locking
nut.
ADAPTOR STORAGE
See Figure 14.
When not in use, adaptors provided with the inflator can be
placed in the removable storage cradle located on the inside
cover of the inflator.
HOSE STORAGE
See Figure14.
When not in use, the air hoses provided with the inflator
can be placed in the storage areas located on both sides
of the inflator.
NOTE: Do not store low pressure hose with pinch valve
adaptor in place on small inflatable nozzle.

OPERATION
QUICK SHUTOFF SWITCH
See Figure 15.
Depress the quick shutoff switch at any time to stop the
inflator.
DIGITAL GAUGE
See Figures 15.
NOT E : D ig it a l ga u g e di s p l a ys pres s u r e of h i gh
pressure hose only. Preset features apply to high pressure
applications only.
The digital gauge on the inflator is multifunctional. It serves
as a pressure gauge, monitors the amount of pressure being
applied to the item being inflated, and can change air pressure measurement units from PSI to BAR to KG/CM2.
To turn the digital gauge ON, press the ON/RESET button
or depress the switch trigger.
NOTE: Make sure digital gauge is set at 0 before use. If gauge
reads “Err” or needs resetting, press and hold ON/RESET
button for 4-7 seconds.
NOTE: The digital gauge will automatically shut off when not
in use for 2 and a half minutes or more.
To use the pressure gauge feature:
Turn digital gauge on by pressing ON/RESET button or
depressing and releasing switch trigger.
Place air chuck over valve stem and lock in place. Readout
will appear on gauge.
NOTE: The pressure readout on the gauge while inflating
is a measurement of the fluctuating pressure between the
item and the high pressure hose. To get an accurate reading, stop inflating and follow above instructions for reading
the air pressure.
To switch from PSI, KG/CM2, and BAR:
With gauge ON, press and hold down ON/RESET button
for at least 7 seconds.
Th e cu rrent measu rin g uni t wi ll flash . Press the
ON/RESET button again to select the desired measur-
ing unit.
The setting takes effect after the display stops flashing.
(4-7 seconds)
NOTE: After preset pressure has been set, pressure setting
stays in the gauge memory for 120 seconds. To recall the
previous pressure setting for up to 120 seconds after inflation, press the ( + ) or ( - ) button.
To reset preset pressure, press and hold the ON/RESET
button.
INFLATING MANUALLY FOR HIGH AND LOW
PRESSURE APPLICATIONS
Connect either high or low pressure hose to item to be
inflated.
Depress and hold switch trigger until desired pressure is
reached.
Release the switch trigger.

INFLATING USING THE PRESET PRESSURES
FEATURE WITH AUTOMATIC SHUTOFF
NOTE: Digital gauge displays pressure of high pressure
hose only.
With gauge ON, press and hold down ( + ) or ( - ) buttons
to select desired shutoff pressure.
NOTE: Numbers will flash while setting pressure. Holding
buttons down will make the pressure number increase/
decrease faster.
Depress switch trigger.
Push the lock-on button forward.
Release the switch trigger and the inflator will continue
running.
NOTE: For preset pressures of 39 PSI, 2.68 BAR, or 2.74
KG/CM2 or less, the unit will automatically stop just short
of the preset pressure. Manually depress the switch trigger
again to release the lock-on button and provide an additional
short “burst” of air to achieve preset pressure.
For preset pressures of 40 PSI, 2.75 BAR, or 2.74 KG/
CM, or greater, the unit will automatically stop at 40 PSI,
2.75 BAR, or 2.74 KG/CM regardless of preset pressure
setting. This feature helps guard against over inflation and
possible bursting. Manually depress the switch trigger again to
release the lock-on button and continue inflating by holding the trigger in the ON position to achieve desired pressure. Shutoff will occur again just before target pressure is
reached.
NO TE: Read actual pressure only when unit is not
operating.
