12V Air
Compressor
With plastic carry case
including work & warning light.
This 12V air compressor has been engineered to inflate most vehicles including car, van, 4x4 and light
commercial vehicle tyres to their maximum pressure requirement. It is not designed for HGV’s or commercial
truck tyres.
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Please read the entire instruction manual before use and retain for
future reference. Your battery may not be at full strength. It is essential that you keep your engine running
when operating the compressor. This will also shorten inflation time and protect your battery. Do not do this in
a closed garage due to fumes circulation in a confined space.
SAFETY WARNING: NEVER LEAVE THE COMPRESSOR UNATTENDED WHILST IT IS IN OPERATION.
FUNCTION
1. The 12V air compressor is built into a robust plastic carrying case with storage compartments for the air
hose and 12V power lead and accessories.
2. Pressure gauge is accurate up to 300psi.
3. Includes a built-in light which can be used as a warning light with the red flip lens closed or as a work light
with the flip lens open.
4. It has a cooling fan included which runs when the compressor is working.
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS - TO INFLATE TYRES
1. Insert the 12V plug into your vehicle 12V power socket.
2. Place connector on the valve stem and push down as far as possible.
3. Switch the air compressor on.
4. When the correct air pressure is reached, switch the air compressor off.
5. Remove the adaptor form the tyre valve and remove the 12V power cord from the socket.
6. Always leave the thumb lock in the open position when storing the compressor.
NOTE: The tyre will not expand at the same rate during the final phase of inflation as it does at the
beginning of the process. This is due to the fact air flow in the tyre from compressor decreases as the
required tyre pressure is reached. Check with tyre pressure gauge for proper inflation.
