6.1Compressor Use

IMPORTANT: Read Instructions carefully to avoid possible injury or property damage.

The Compressor may be used by removing the air hose from it’s storage channel and fitting the tire chuck to the tire or inflatable. An On/Off switch located on the compressor controls the power. Refer to Figures 1 for locations of compressor switch and hose storage channel. When the compressor is removed from ElectroMate it is powered from an attached DC cable stored in a side compartment. This allows compressor use with other 12 Volt power supplies or it can be used with a DC accessory outlet on ElectroMate to increase the “reach” of the compressor hose.

6.2Compressor Safety Information

The compressor is capable of inflating to 300 pounds per square inch (PSI) pressure. 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 after 10 minutes of continuous operation.

6.3Inflation of tire 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 on to valve stem as far as possible before closing thumb latch.

4.Check pressure with the pressure gauge.

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

6.Turn OFF Compressor Power Switch.

7.Store Compressor, cord, hose and tire chuck in their respective storage locations.

IMPORTANT: Always leave the thumb latch in the open position when storing the hose unit.
