6.AIR COMPRESSOR/TIRE INFLATOR

IMPORTANT:

Read Instructions Carefully To Avoid Possible Injury Or Property Damage.

The built-in 12 Volt DC air compressor is the ultimate compressor for all vehicles, trailer tires and recreational inflatables. Three different sized nozzles are supplied. Each nozzle will clip on the end of the standard tire valve connector located at the free end of the compressor hose. The compressor nozzles are stored inside the hose hatch. The compressor hose with tire fitting is stored in a retaining channel between the jumper cable channels on the rear of the unit. The ON/OFF Switch is located on the side of the Main Unit near the AC Recharge Port. The compressor can operate long enough to fill up to 3 average sized tires before the battery must be recharged.

The compressor may be used by removing the air hose from the storage hatch and if required, fitting an appropriate nozzle to the air hose. An On/Off switch located on the side of the unit controls the power to the compressor and the gauge light. Refer to Figures 3 for locations of compressor hose, nozzle storage hatch and hose. Return hose to the storage compartment after use.
