Using the compressor
CAUTION – Read instructions of the product being inflated before using the compressor. Avoid over inflation, do not exceed the manufacturer’s recom- mended pressures. Do not leave the air compressor unattended during use.

5.If HOT reads on the digital display when first using the compressor, leave the charger on for one minute and the compressor will restart.
