6.1

Compressor Use

IMPORTANT:

  Read Instructions carefully to avoid possible injury or

property damage.

The Compressor may be used by removing the air hose from it’s storage

channel and fitting the tire chuck to the tire or inflatable. An On/Off

switch located on the compressor controls the power. Refer to Figure 1 for

locations of compressor switch and hose storage channel. When the

compressor is removed from ElectroMate it is powered from an attached DC

cable stored in a side compartment.  This allows compressor use with other

12 Volt power supplies or it can be used with a DC accessory outlet on

ElectroMate to increase the “reach” of the compressor hose.

6.2

Compressor Safety Information

The compressor is capable of inflating to 300 pounds per square inch (PSI)

pressure.  To avoid over-inflation, carefully follow instructions on articles to be

inflated. Never exceed recommended pressures.  Bursting articles can cause

serious injury. Always check pressure with the pressure gauge. Never leave

compressor unattended while in use. Allow unit to cool after 10 minutes of

continuous operation.

6.3

Inflation of tire or products with a valve stem

1. Place connector (chuck) on valve stem.

2. Push connector toward valve stem and close thumb latch.

3. Make sure connector is pushed on to valve stem as far as possible

before closing thumb latch.

4. Check pressure with the pressure gauge.

5. When desired pressure is reached, open thumb latch and remove

connector from valve stem.

6. Turn OFF Compressor Power Switch.

7. Store Compressor, cord, hose and tire chuck in their respective storage

locations.

IMPORTANT:

    Always leave the thumb latch in the open position when

storing the hose unit.
