automatically cut off power to the air compressor if internal operating
temperatures rise above save levels during use.
•
Should the air compressor automatically shut down at any point during use, do
not attempt to restart the air compressor. Turn off the power switch. The
automatic thermal overload protector will automatically reset when the internal
temperature drops down to a safe level. After allowing the air compressor to
cool off for about 20 minutes, you can safely resume usage of the air compressor
by turning on the power switch – your warranty will be void if this instruction is
not followed.
•
It is strongly recommended that you keep the vehicle engine running while using
the battery to prevent discharge of your vehicle battery. The means you would
ONLY OPERATE THE COMPRESSOR IN WELL VENTILATED AREAS. Compressor
performance is also enhanced when operating with the vehicle engine running.
•
Please not that you may experience a slight delay (about 30 seconds) to the
compressor motor starting when the compressor is pressurised (i.e. when there is
back pressure in the line). This is a normal delayed reaction, not a compressor
ON/OFF switch malfunction.
Operating Instructions
Tyre Inflation and Deflation
Before attaching the air compressor power cord to the 12 volt DC power source, check
to make sure that the power switch is in the off position. Attach the red battery clamp
to the positive terminal of the battery and the black battery clamp to the negative
terminal of the battery, ensuring you have made a good connection. Always keep your
vehicle engine running while operating the compressor to avoid draining the vehicle
battery.
Always make sure that the portable compressor's 5 metre power cord is uncoiled and
fully extended to avoid overheating of the power cord.
Your air compressor is moisture and dust resistant. The air compressor is equipped with
a sand tray that will allow you to place the air compressor on soft sand during use.
Never expose the compressor to water while running.
Make sure the air compressor is sitting upright while operating. Do not operate if the air
compressor is not sitting up. Avoid tugging on the air compressor or the cord. Lift the
air compressor up and carry it to the side of the vehicle where the tyres you are
inflating are situated.
Operation Instructions
The air compressor comes with heavy heat resistant hose with a quick
connection stud, while the deflater comes with an extension coil hose quick
coupler. Simple attach this multi-function extension hose coil to the leader hose
and you are ready to inflate tyres.
This in-line deflater/inflater hose can be used for both pumping air and deflating
tyres. Please familiarise yourself with the following information regarding the
different functions available.
