To remove the battery pack from the appliance body for charging, make sure the trigger switch is OFF. Press both battery pack release buttons at the same time. Pull the battery pack down away from the appliance body. Insert the barrel connector of the AC adapter into the battery pack’s receptacle (recharge port). Plug the AC adapter into a 120 volt AC standard household receptacle. Observe the red LED lights. Charge for the recommended time. Do not overcharge! Disconnect and store the AC recharge adapter from the battery pack and AC source when not in use.

6.COMPRESSOR/TIRE INFLATOR

This 12 volt DC compressor is the ultimate compressor for all vehicles, trailer tires and recreational inflatables. Three different sized nozzles are supplied.

IMPORTANT:

Read safety instructions carefully to avoid possible injury or property damage.

WARNINGS:

The compressor is capable of inflating to 260 pounds per square inch (PSI) pressure (approximately 18 kg/cm). To avoid over-inflation, carefully follow instructions on articles to be inflated. Never exceed recommended pressures. Bursting articles can cause serious injury. Always check pressure with the pressure gauge. Never leave compressor unattended while in use. Allow unit to cool for five minutes after 10 minutes of continuous operation.

6.1TIRE INFLATION OR PRODUCTS WITH A VALVE STEM

1.Place connector (chuck) on valve stem.

2.Push connector toward valve stem and close thumb latch.

3.Make sure connector is pushed onto valve stem as far as possible before closing thumb latch.

4.Turn on the compressor (for larger items the trigger can be latched).

5.Observe pressure with the pressure gauge.

6.When desired pressure is reached, open thumb latch and remove connector from valve stem.

7.Turn off compressor power switch.

IMPORTANT:

Always leave the tire chuck thumb latch in the open position when storing unit.

6.2INFLATE OTHER ARTICLES (WITHOUT VALVE STEM)

Inflation of items, others than tires, requires use of one of the nozzles (adapters). A nozzle can be attached to the tire chuck, or it can directly be connected to the compressor’s outlet, if the hose is removed.

To attach a nozzle to the tire chuck, open the nozzle hatch cover and remove the required nozzle. Place the tire chuck over the nozzle fitting and secure by moving the chuck thumb latch so it is parallel with the hose. Make sure the nozzle is clean and secure before turning on the compressor. After use, release the nozzle from the chuck by lifting the latch. Return the nozzle to the nozzle hatch.

To attach a nozzle directly to a compressor.

1.Remove the hose from the compressor outlet by loosening (counterclockwise) the hose retaining ring and sliding out the ribbed brass fitting.

2.Insert the selected nozzle into the compressor outlet and secure it by tightening the hose retaining ring.

3.After using the compressor, remove and store the nozzle in the nozzle hatch.

Refer to “Typical Inflation Times” for approximate pressure and time. Small items like volleyballs, footballs, etc. inflate very rapidly.

4.Insert nozzle (e.g needle) into item to be inflated and inflate to desired pressure.

5.Turn on compressor switch - inflate to desired pressure or fullness.

7.TYPICAL INFLATION TIMES FOR COMPRESSOR USE

The following are approximate pressure and inflation times for various items:

WARNINGS:

Always follow tire manufacturers recommendations for pressure on item to be inflated.
