1.INTRODUCTION

Congratulations on selecting the Vector Air Pro™ Model VEC255 Compressor & Inflator Combo. This system is an advanced high-pressure (up to 260 PSI) multi-use air compressor system with unique features that set it far above the value and utility of ordinary compressors for mobile use. It is supplied with a standard tire valve chuck for filling auto, truck, bike, and motorcycle tires. Additionally, two different adapters are supplied to inflate soccer balls, footballs, and popular inflatables. These adapters are conve- niently stored in a hatch in the compressor body. It is powered from its own snap-on/off powerful battery to be used anywhere it is needed. It can also operate from a standard 12 volt DC electrical system found on: trucks, cars, boats, airplanes, RVs and tractors, using the supplied DC Power Adapter. A supplied standard 110 VAC charger recharges the battery when required. Typically, up to three completely flat tires can be inflated before the snap-on battery has to be recharged.

A separate Inflator shares the battery pack and DC Power Adapter. The inflator is used to inflate: air mattresses; beach balls, etc.(See Sections 8 thru 10)

A customer can purchase extra snap-on battery packs if completely cordless operation is required (Part VEC194). Operating these appliances with the snap-on DC Power Adapters is ideal for use with Vector 12 volt DC cordless, portable, rechargeable DC Power supplies if extended operating time in the field is required.
