Vector VEC095 Fluorescent, Recharging, 6.5Inflating Items Without a a Tire Stem, ElectroMate

6.5Inflating Items Without a a Tire Stem

Three inflation adapters are stored in the compressorÕs DC Cord Storage Hatch. Select and connect the appropriate adapter to the compressorÕs tire chuck. Insert the adapter into the item to be inflated. Turn on the compressor using the On/Off Switch. Inflate the item to desired firmness. This can take a few sec- onds if the item is small.

WARNING: DO NOT OPERATE COMPRESSOR UNATTENDED.

When item is fully inflated, turn Off the Compressor Switch and disconnect the adapter from the item. Open the tire Chuck and replace the adapter in the DC Cord Storage Hatch.

7 . Fluorescent Lamp

The Fluorescent lamp is turned On by connecting itÕs DC plug to a 12 Volt DC power source. The lamp must be removed from itÕs storage location to gain access to the cord and DC plug. Most use will be with ElectroMate by means of an accessory outlet. Starting with a full charge, the ElectroMateÕs battery can power the lamp for up 100 hours. The lamp has a hook at one end and can be used to hang the lamp on the raised handle. Release the handle by pressing the release bar and raising the handle vertically. After use, disconnect the DC plug and neatly store the cord and plug in the well and replace the lamp cord and lamp in itÕs storage location. Note that the lamp only fits itÕs storage channel one way. Use the hook as a guide to the correct location.

NOTE: The lamp may be used with any 12 Volt DC source (vehicle accessory socket) that can supply at least one ampere. This allows great flexibility in positioning the lamp during tire inflation and during under-the-hood inspections. The lamp draws 8 watts so operation from an automobile battery is very efficient. With a full charge, a typical auto battery can power the lamp from 40 to 60 hours.

8 . Recharging ElectroMate

All batteries must be recharged as soon as possible after each use. If a battery is allowed to remain in a discharged state, battery life will be reduced.

Lead-acid batteries require maintenance to maintain a full charge and to ensure good battery life. All lead-acid batteries suffer from self-discharge over time and more rapidly when they are at higher temperatures. Therefore, these types of batteries need periodic charging to replace energy lost through self-discharge. When ElectroMate is not in use Vector recommends that the battery be recharged at least every 60 days.

NOTE: Recharging battery after each use will prolong battery life; frequent heavy discharges between recharges will reduce battery life. Overcharging will reduce battery life. The time required to fully recharge these batteries depends on the charge level of the battery after the use of DC appliances, Inverter and Compressor.

NOTE: Pressing the battery status push-button turns on the battery level display on ElectroMate. Check the battery charge level by pressing the Charge Status Button. The LED Charge Status display will indicate the level of charge of the battery.
