Connecting For Use
•
Position the compressor on a sturdy flat surface before opening the box.
•
Unlock and open the box using the two latches.
•
Make sure that the switch is in the ‘OFF’ position by pressing down on the
top of the switch rocker.
•
Uncoil the power lead and connect the positive (+) alligator clamp
(RED handle) directly to the positive (+) terminal of the vehicle’s 12 volt
battery.
•
Connect the negative (-) alligator clamp (BLACK handle) directly to the
negative (-) terminal of the vehicle’s 12 volt battery.
NOTE : The switch should now be illuminated telling you that the
compressor has been connected to power. But the
compressor will not start until the switch rocker is pressed
on the bottom.
•
Attach the air hose to the compressor by inserting the male end of the hose
into the hose coupling on the compressor and simply pressing inward until
the coupling sleeve clicks forward. The sleeve of the coupling does not
need to be pulled back by hand at all.
•
Attach the compressed air accessory to the opposite end of the hose in the
same way.
•
Press the bottom of the rocker switch down to start the compressor and
pressurize the air tank and hose.
•
The compressor will automatically stop when the pressure in the system
reaches the pre-set pressure switch 'OFF pressure' of 1030kPa [150PSI].
