OPERATION
10
Turning On/Off
To lock, slide the safety-lock switch (8) to the left-hand position
(“lock”). To unlock, slide the safety-lock switch (8) to the right
hand position (“unlock”). To turn the air pump on, squeeze the
on/off safety lock switch (8) is in the “unlock” position. To turn
off, release the on/off switch (7).
Air Pressure Gauge
An air pressure gauge (3) is included in the rear of the air pump,
this can be used as a guide for inflation.
•
Connect and pump the target as previously described.
•
Release the on/off switch (7) (so the pump ceases to operate).
•
To gain a true indication of pressure, leave the air pump
connected to the target object. Now look squarely into the
gauge dial to attain the pressure reading.
Note:
Looking at the gauge dial at an angle with give false readings. Pressure gauge
readings will not be accurate when the air pump is switched on, only take final readings
when the switch has been released.
Inflating
1. The air pump should not be operated for extended periods of time without being
allowed to cool.
2. Operate the air pump for a maximum of 10 minute intervals, and then allow to rest
for 10 minutes. If the air pump is used continuously for long periods, this could
cause the pump piston within the air pump to over heat and prematurely wear out.
3. Know the manufacturer’s recommended value of pressure for the target object
before inflating. Follow the recommended values.
Ozito Industries will not be responsible for damage caused to targets by the user
administering incorrect pressure levels. This will void the warranty.
4. To attach the pump to the target object. Hold the brass section of the flexible
extension hose (9) end, align it with the male threaded end of the target object’s
valve, and screw in clockwise until finger tight. Do not use pliers or multigrips to
connect the valves.
5. Ensure there are no leakage problems with the connection between the air pump
and the target.
Note:
If the target object is already pressurised, some air leakage may occur while in
process of fully attaching and creating a seal. In this case it is important to work quickly
to avoid excessive loss of air / pressure.
6. Unlock the safety lock switch (8), and turn the air pump on to begin inflating of the
target object.
7. Periodically, release the on/off switch (7), check the air pressure gauge (3) (see Air
Pressure Gauge section - Pg10) and squeeze the target object to judge the level
of inflation.
8. After use, reactivate the safety lock switch (8) to avoid accidental start-up.
9. To remove the pump from the target object, reverse the attaching procedure.
