450P-RV AUTOMATIC PORTABLE COMPRESSOR

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS:

Please read and follow the operating instructions carefully to assure that you will enjoy the 

convenience and best use out of your air compressor.

1.  Always operate the compressor AT OR BELOW THE MAXIMUM PRESSURE RATING of the  

  compressor.  Refer to Specifications section of this manual.

2.  Always OBSERVE THE MAXIMUM DUTY CYCLE of the air compressor.  Refer to Specifications  

  section of this manual for details. Operations exceeding maximum pressure ratings and or duty  

  cycle will result in damage to air compressor.

3.  Your air compressor is equipped with an AUTOMATIC THERMAL OVERLOAD PROTECTOR.   

  This feature is designed to protect the air compressor from over-heating and causing permanent  

  damage to your air compressor. The thermal overload protector will automatically cut off power  

  to air compressor should internal operating temperature of the air compressor rise above safe  

  levels during excessive use. 

4.  Should your compressor shut off suddenly after extended use, do not attempt to restart air  

  compressor.  Turn ON/OFF switch of air compressor to the OFF position. The automatic thermal  

  overload protector will automatically reset when internal temperature of the air compressor drops  

  below safe level.  After allowing air compressor to cool off for about 30 minutes, you can safely  

  resume use of the air compressor by turning on the air compressor.

5.  For your convenience, and to protect the air compressor from over-pressure operation that can  

  cause permanent damage to the unit - this compressor is equipped with built-in pressure switch  

  with a factory set cut-on pressure of 130 PSI (± 5%) and a factory set cut-off pressure of  

  155 PSI (± 5%). During inflation of tire pressures between 130 PSI to 155 PSI, if you stop inflation,  

  the compressor may not restart. This is completely normal, since inline pressure is greater than  

  cut-on pressure of the pressure switch and less than cut-off pressure of the pressure switch. 

  To restart compressor, deflate tire pressure to below 130 PSI, reconnect tire chuck to tire valve  

  stem and resume tire inflation.

6.  Please note that you may experience a slight delay of the compressor’s motor starting when the  

  ON/OFF switch is turned on while compressor is pressurized (when there is pressure in the line  

  that the compressor is connected to). This is a normal delayed reaction, not a Compressor 

  ON/OFF switch malfunction.

7.  It is strongly recommended that you keep the vehicle’s engine running while using the air  

  compressor to prevent discharge of your vehicle’s battery. 

8.  ONLY OPERATE THE AIR COMPRESSOR IN WELL VENTILATED AREAS. 

  Compressor performance is enhanced when operating compressor with vehicle engine running.

IMPORTANT: Engine must be running while using this compressor.  

Before attaching air compressor power clamps to your vehicle’s battery terminals, check to make 

sure that the ON\/OFF switch of your compressor is in the OFF position. Attach the Positive (+) 

battery clamp (Red) to the Positive terminal of the battery and the Negative (-) battery clamp (Black) 

to the Negative terminal of the battery.  Always keep your vehicle’s engine running while operating 

compressor to avoid draining your vehicle’s battery.

CAUTION: Your Portable Air Compressor is Moisture and Dust Resistant, but NOT WATER OR DUST 

PROOF. Never place compressor in soft sand while running the compressor. Vibration from the 

compressor will cause the compressor to settle into soft sand, resulting in compressor drawing in 

foreign particles. Never expose compressor to water while running the compressor.
