Operating instructions
The 12V Air Compressor has been engineered to service many different tyres for cars, vans, X’s etc., plus
many other inflatable items.
Please read the entire instruction manual before use and retain for future reference.
IMPORTANT
Your battery may not be at full strength. It is essential therefore that you keep your engine
running when operating the compressor. This will also shorten inflation time. Do not do this in a closed
garage due to the fumes circulating in a confined space.
1. Safety - Warning! Never leave the compressor unattended whilst it is in operation.
The compressor is not to be used for long period otherwise it may overheat. Do not use the compressor for
more than 10 minutes at a time. If a prolonged period is required then switch off the compressor and allow
to cool for several minutes then resume. For higher pressures (pressure over 5 bar), let the compressor rest
after 10 minutes of continuous use.
If the compressor overheats, switch it off and let it cool for 30
minutes before you start it again.
Tyres are marked with their maximum pressure in psi or bar – always refer to the manufacturers guide on tyre
pressure , never exceed the stated psi/bar
NOTE:
Tyres will not expand at the same rate during the final phase of inflation as it does at the beginning of
this process. This is due to the fact that air flow into the tyre from the compressor decreases as the required
tyre pressure is reached. Check with tyre pressure gauge for accurate inflation.
INFLATION TIME
Inflation time will vary depending on the article inflated and the pressure required.
2. Operation - Inflating tyres
• Insert the 12V plug into your 12V power socket.
• Screw the connector onto tyre valve.
• Press the “R” button to select desired pressure unit,
psi, bar, kpa or kgf/cm

.
• To inflate the tyre to the recommended pressure (refer to the vehicle handbook or marking on the tyre itself)
then set the Digital gauge to that pressure using the “+” & “–” buttons.
• Turn “ON” the power with the “ON/OFF” switch.
