AIR COMPRESSOR OPERATION
WARNING: Do not overheat the unit! If the compressor is not pumping
a steady stream of air and appears sluggish or if metal fittings get too
warm to the touch, these are indicators that the compressor has been in
operation for too long. Immediately turn off the compressor and allow it
to cool for approximately 30 minutes before resuming operation. Never
leave compressor unattended while in use.
Do not over inflate items beyond their needs. Most car tires will inflate
properly between 30 and 35 psi depending upon the tire. Some racing
bicycle tires require pressure in excess of 75 psi. Other bicycle tires may
require substantially lower pressures. This unit is not fitted for highpressure tires such as those used on large commercial trucks.
Keep out of reach of children.
1. To achieve optimal performance, your vehicle’s engine should be
running when operating your air compressor.
2. Unwind power cord from the storage compartment of the unit and
insert the DC plug into the 12 Volt cigarette lighter socket of your
vehicle.
4. For vehicle tires: Place chuck over valve stem of tire with thumb
latch open in the vertical position.
For other inflatable items: Select the appropriate adaptor and
insert it into the hose nozzle. Make sure adapter and hose are
sealed tightly. Tip: When inflating athletic balls, moisten needle
before inserting it into the ball valve.
5. Push down firmly and lock into place by pressing thumb lever to

6. Turn compressor’s switch on to the "||" position and
monitor pressure using the built-in pressure gauge. DO NOT
OVERINFLATE PRODUCTS BEYOND THE MANUFACTURER’S
RECOMMENDATIONS.
NOTE: If your vehicle tire is completely deflated, it is possible that
the seal between the tire and the rim is broken, allowing air to
leak out when trying to inflate. In the event this situation occurs,
you will need to jack up your car prior to inflating the tire.
