The inflator may be used by removing the air hose from the storage hatch and if required, fitting an appropriate
nozzle to the air hose. An On/Off switch located on the back of the unit controls the power to the inflator and
the gauge light. Refer to the “Controls and Indicators” section on page 5 for locations of inflator hose and
nozzle storage hatch. Return hose to the storage compartment after use.
WARNING: BURST HAZARD
• The inflator is capable of inflating up to 120 pounds per square inch (psi) pressure. To avoid over- i n f l a t i o n ,
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 the inflator unattended while in use.
CAUTION: RISK OF PROPERTY DAMAGE
Do not operate inflator continuously for extended periods of time (approximately 10 minutes, depending on
ambient temperatures), as it may overheat. In such event, inflator will automatically shut down. Immediately
turn OFF the Inflator Power Switch. Restart after a cooling down period of approximately 10 minutes.

1 . Select the appropriate nozzle, located on the inside back cover.
2 . Insert appropriate adapter (i.e. needle) into connector (chuck) and close thumb latch.
3 . Small items such as volleyballs, footballs, etc. inflate very rapidly.
4 . Insert adapter (i.e., needle) into item to inflate to appropriate pressure.
5 . Turn ON the Inflator Power Switch — inflate to desired pressure or fullness.
6 . Remove adapter.
7 . Switch the Inflator Power Switch OFF.
8 . Recharge the unit before storing away.
CARE AND MAINTENANCE
This product has a sealed lead acid battery that should be kept fully charged. Recharge before first use, immediately
after each use, and once a month if not used. Failure to do this may reduce the battery life dramatically.
Note:
This unit is delivered in a partially charged state – you must fully charge it before using it for the first time.
Initial AC charge should be for 24 hours.
Charging/Recharging
For maximum battery life, we recommend the Jump-Starter be kept fully charged at all times. If the battery is
allowed to remain in a discharged state, battery life will be shortened.
Note:
Recharging battery after each use will prolong battery life; frequent heavy discharges between recharges
and/or overcharging will reduce battery life.
Charging/Recharging Using the 120 Volt AC Charger and
a Standard Household Extension Cord (not included)
1 . Lift the AC adapter cover located on the back of the unit and connect an extension cord to the unit. Plug the
other end of the cord into a standard 120 volt AC wall outlet.
2 . Charge until three Red and one Green LED Battery Status Indicators light.
