3.ATTACHING THE COMPRESSOR’S AIR HOSE

The Air Hose is supplied as a separate item from the compressor body. The hose has a ribbed brass fitting at one end and a standard tire chuck at the other end. To use the hose it must first be connected to the compressor outlet. Loosen the Hose retaining ring (counterclockwise), insert the hose fitting into the short, rubber sealing sleeve. Make sure the hose fitting is inserted fully into the sleeve. Partially tighten (clockwise) the hose-retaining ring and push the fitting in further. Do this two or three times until the fitting is firmly attached and the ring is firmly tightened.

WARNING: Improperly attached hoses or nozzles can fly out under compressor pressure. Make sure the connections are tight.

WARNINGS:

1.There is risk of dust or dirt projectiles being released if the compressor hose or nozzles are not clean when the compressor is turned on.

2.Wearing protective goggles while operating this compressor can protect eyes from flying particles of dust and dirt. Failure to follow instructions may cause property damage, and/or personal injury.

3.Keep out of reach of children.

4.POWERING THE COMPRESSOR OR INFLATOR

The compressor can be powered either from a supplied battery pack or from a supplied DC Power Adapter.

4.1 POWERING FROM THE BATTERY PACK

The supplied battery pack powers the compressor or inflator for short duration, cordless operation. The Battery Pack should be fully charged initially before use (see paragraph 5 for charging instructions.)

To connect the charged battery pack to either the compressor or inflator, align the battery pack so that the battery release buttons snap onto the appropriate appliance. The battery pack fits only one way to ensure correct polarity of the contacts. To remove the Battery Pack, press the Battery Pack Release buttons and the battery pack will separate from the appliance.

4.2 DC POWER ADAPTER USE

The DC power adapter can power the compressor or inflator for longer operation from an external 12 volt power source.
