The area light is controlled by the Area Light power switch on top of the light. Make sure the area light is turned off when the unit is
being recharged or stored.
Periodically check the unit’s battery status by pressing the battery power level button. (Two red and one green battery status indicators
will light to indicate a full battery. If only one red battery status indicator lights it indicates that the unit needs to be recharged.)
PORTABLE COMPRESSOR
The built-in 12 volt DC compressor is the ultimate compressor for all vehicle tires, trailer tires and recreational inflatables. The compressor
hose with tire fitting is stored in a retaining channel on the back of the unit. The On/Off Switch is located on the rear of the unit under
the air pressure gauge. The compressor can operate long enough to fill up to 3 average sized tires before the battery must be recharged.
The compressor may be used by removing the air hose from the storage compartment and if required, fitting an appropriate nozzle to the
air hose. Return hose to the storage compartment after use.
Inflating Tires or Products With Valve Stems
1. Screw the SureFit™ nozzle connector onto the valve stem. Do not overtighten.
2. Turn on the Compressor Power Switch.
3. Check pressure with the pressure gauge.
4. When desired pressure is reached, turn off the Compressor Power Switch.
5. Unscrew and remove the SureFit™ nozzle connector from the valve stem.
6. Allow the unit to cool before storing away.
7. Store the compressor hose and nozzle in the storage compartment.
Inflating Other Inflatables Without Valve Stems
Inflation of other items requires use of one of the nozzle adapters.
1. Select the appropriate nozzle adapter (i.e, needle).
2. Screw the adapter into the SureFit™ nozzle connector. Do not overtighten.
3. Insert the adapter into item to be inflated.
4. Turn on the Compressor Power Switch — inflate to desired pressure or fullness.
IMPORTANT NOTE:
Small items such as volleyballs, footballs, etc. inflate very rapidly. Do not over-inflate.
5. When desired pressure is reached, turn off the Compressor Power Switch.
6. Disconnect the adapter from the inflated item.
7. Unscrew and remove the adapter from the SureFit™ nozzle connector.
8. Allow the unit to cool before storing away.
9. Store the compressor hose, nozzle and adapter in the storage compartment.
WARNING: TO REDUCE THE RISK OF INJURY OR PROPERTY DAMAGE:
•
Follow all safety instructions found in the “Specific Safety Instructions For Compressors” section of this instruction
manual.
• Recharge this unit fully after each use
CARE AND MAINTENANCE
All batteries lose energy from self-discharge over time and more rapidly at higher temperatures. When the unit is not in use, we
recommend that the battery is charged at least every 30 days.
Never submerge the unit in water. If the unit gets dirty, gently clean the outer surfaces of the unit with a soft cloth moistened with a mild
solution of water and detergent.
There are no user-replaceable parts. Periodically inspect the condition of adapters, connectors and wires. Contact manufacturer to replace
any components that have become worn or broken.
Battery replacement/disposal
BATTERY REPLACEMENT
The battery should last the service life of the unit. Service life is dependent on a number of factors including but not limited to the
number of recharge cycles, and proper care and maintenance of the battery by the end user. Contact manufacturer for any information
you may need.
SAFE BATTERY DISPOSAL
Contains a maintenance-free, sealed, non-spillable, lead acid battery, which must be disposed of properly. Recycling is
required; contact your local waste management authority to dispose of this product. Failure to comply with local, state
and federal regulations can result in fines, or imprisonment.
PLEASE
RECYCLE
WARNINGS:
• Do not dispose of the battery in fire as this may result in an explosion.
• Before disposing of the battery, protect exposed terminals with heavy-duty electrical tape to prevent shorting (shorting can result in injury
or fire).
• Do not expose battery to fire or intense heat as it may explode.
Resistive loads are the easiest for the inverter to run; however, it will not run larger resistive loads (such as electric stoves and heaters),
which require far more wattage than the inverter can deliver. Inductive loads (such as TVs and stereos) require more current to operate
than do resistive loads of the same wattage rating.
CAUTION: RECHARGEABLE DEVICES
• Certain rechargeable devices are designed to be charged by plugging them directly into an AC receptacle. These devices may damage
the inverter or the charging circuit.
• When using a rechargeable device, monitor its temperature for the initial ten minutes of use to determine if it produces excessive heat.
• If excessive heat is produced, this indicates the device should not be used with this inverter.
• This problem does not occur with most of the battery-operated equipment. Most of these devices use a separate charger or transformer
that is plugged into an AC receptacle.
• The inverter is capable of running most chargers and transformers.
Protective Features
The inverter monitors the following conditions:
Low internal battery voltage:
The inverter will automatically shut down when the battery voltage drops too low, as this can harm the
battery.
High internal battery voltage:
The inverter will automatically shut down when the battery voltage is too high, as this can harm the unit.
Thermal shutdown protection:
The inverter will automatically shut down when the unit becomes overheated.
Overload/short circuit protection:
The inverter will automatically shut down when an overload or short circuit occurs.
IMPORTANT NOTES:
The inverter power indicator will light solid red when the unit is functioning properly. The inverter power indicator
will flash red to indicate that one of the above fault conditions is present before automatic shutdown occurs. Should this occur, take the
following steps:
1. Disconnect all appliances from the unit.
2. Press the inverter power switch to turn the inverter off (
