IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

WARNINGS

1. There is a risk of explosive gases being released when lead acid batteries are
being charged or discharged. Failure to follow instructions may cause property
damage, explosive hazard, and/or personal injury.

2. Never look into or point the inflator/air compressor nozzle or the spotlight toward
anyone’s eyes.

3. Do not use the inflator/air compressor continuously for longer than 15 minutes.
Extended use will cause it to overheat and can damage the unit. After 15 minutes
of continuous inflator/air compressor use, turn the unit OFF and wait 15 minutes
before resuming operation of the compressor.

4. DO NOT overinflate objects or exceed manufacturers’ recommendations for
pressure on objects to be inflated. Always monitor pressure using the pressure
gauge. Bursting articles can cause serious injury. It is recommended to wear
protective eyewear when inflating tires/inflatable items.

5. NEVER submerge this unit in water. When charging the unit near water, do not
allow electrical cords to become moist, damp or wet — electrical shock could
result.

6. Never cover unit at any time.

7. Never leave this unit unattended while operating.

CAUTIONS

1. When using an extension cord (not supplied) for AC charging/recharging, make sure it has the
same configuration as the plug of the unit and that the cord is properly wired and in good
condition. The cord must be suitable for 120 volts AC and have a minimum 2 amp rating. It is
recommended to use an outlet complete with a Ground Fault Interrupt (GFI) Switch.

2. Do not recharge for more than 5-6 hours maximum using the 12 volt DC method or more than 14-16
hours using the 120 volt AC method. Recharge unit after each use (using the recommended 120 volt
AC method). Avoid charging the battery at temperatures below 40°F, (5°C) or above 105°F (40°C).

3. All ON/OFF switches should be in the OFF position when the unit is charging or not in use. Make
sure all switches are in the OFF position before connection to a power source.

4. Never operate the inflator with the 120 Volt AC Recharging Adapter connected to the unit as the
charger could become damaged.

5. Do not use any accessory that is not recommended or provided by the manufacturer. Never insert
anything other than the supplied or recommended accessories into this unit’s 12 Volt DC
Recharging/Power Port.

6. Never operate the inflator after the battery indicator light comes on.

7. Although this unit contains a non-spillable battery, it is recommended that unit be kept upright
during storage, use and recharging. To avoid possible damage that may shorten the unit’s working
life, protect it from direct sunlight, direct heat and/or moisture.

8. Check unit periodically for wear and tear. Contact the Customer Service Department at
[phone] to replace worn or defective parts.

9. Do not drop this unit as it may damage the product. If unit is dropped or damaged, please
discontinue using it.

10. Never disassemble; take unit to a qualified service technician or call Vector Customer Service when
service or repair is required. Incorrect reassembly may result in a risk of electric shock or fire and
will void the warranty.

11. Always replace the fuse with the same type and amp rating. Never use a higher amperage fuse
rating.

12. To reduce risk of damage to unit, pull by plug and not the cord when disconnecting.

13. Disconnect all charging cords and turn all ON/OFF switches to the OFF position before cleaning
this unit.

THIS UNIT IS NOT FOR USE BY CHILDREN AND SHOULD ONLY BE OPERATED BY ADULTS.
