7. AIR COMPRESSOR/TIRE INFLATOR
IMPORTANT:
Read Instructions Carefully To Avoid Possible Injury or Property Damage.
The built-in 12 Volt DC air compressor is the ultimate compressor for all vehicles,
trailer tires and recreational inflatables. Three different sized nozzles are supplied.
Each nozzle will clip on the end of the standard tire valve connector located at the
free end of the compressor hose. The compressor nozzles and the compressor hose
are stored in the open storage hatch on the back of the unit.
The ON/OFF button is located on the front panel of the unit. The compressor can
operate long enough to fill up to 3 average sized tires before the battery must be
recharged.
Refer to Figure 1 for locations of compressor hose, and storage hatch. Return hose
to the storage hatch after use.
7.1 WARNINGS FOR COMPRESSOR USE
The compressor is capable of inflating up to 260 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 15 minutes of
continuous operation.
