BATTERY PROTECTION FEATURES
Ryobi lithium-ion batteries are designed with features that
protect the lithium-ion cells and maximize battery life.
If the product stops during use, the battery needs to be
recharged.
TO INSTALL/REMOVE BATTERY PACK
See figure 2
WARNING
Always remove battery pack from your tool when you
are assembling parts, making adjustments, cleaning, or
when not in use. Removing battery pack will prevent
accidental starting that could cause serious personal
injury.
To install:
Place the battery pack in the tool. Align the raised rib
on the battery pack with groove in the battery port.
Make sure the latches on each side of the battery pack
snap in place and that the battery pack is secured in
the tool before beginning operation.
To remove:
Depress the latches on both sides of the battery pack to
release the battery pack and remove it from the tool.
WARNING
Improperly attached hoses or accessories can become
detached under pressure and cause serious injury.
Possible air leaks can cause faulty pressure readings.
Make sure all connections are tightly secured.
DUAL HOSES
The inflator has two hoses for two types of inflation. The
high pressure hose is for inflating high pressure items like
tires and sports balls. The low pressure hose is designed
for inflating or deflating low pressure, high volume items
like air rafts, mattresses, and floats.
NOTE: Pressure gauge and preset features are relative
only to high pressure hose applications.
POWER SWITCH
Place the power switch in the (I) position to turn on the
low pressure pump or the (II) position to turn on the high
pressure pump. Place the switch in the (O) or center
position to stop all pump operations.
DIGITAL GAUGE
See figure 3
The digital gauge is multifunctional serving as a pressure
gauge, monitoring the amount of pressure being applied
to the item being inflated, and changing air pressure
measurement units from PSI to BAR to kPa.
Press the mode button to turn on the digital gauge.
NOTE: Make sure digital gauge is set at 0 before use.
If gauge reads “Err” or needs resetting, press and hold
the mode button for 4-7 seconds.
Select desired measurement unit (PSI, BAR, kPa) by
pressing and releasing the mode button. Press once
for PSI, twice for BAR, and three times for kPa.
NOTE: After preset pressure has been set, pressure
setting stays in the gauge memory for 180 seconds.
To recall the previous pressure setting for up to 180
seconds after inflation, press the (+) or (-) button. To
reset preset pressure, press and hold the mode button.
Position air chuck clamp in the unlock position
perpendicular to the high pressure air hose.
Place air chuck on valve stem.
Push air chuck down so that the threaded section of
the valve stem is inside the air chuck.
Clamp the end of the air chuck down onto the valve
stem by pressing air chuck clamp down until it stops or
is parallel with the high pressure air hose.
NOTE: The pressure readout on the gauge while inflating
is a measurement of the fluctuating pressure between
the item and the high pressure hose. To get an accurate
reading, stop inflating and follow above instructions for
reading the air pressure.
AUTOMATIC SHUTOFF
The digital gauge will remain on for up to five minutes. To
manually shut off, press and hold the mode button until the
light turns off then release the button.
INFLATING WITH THE LOW PRESSURE HOSE
See figure 4
The low pressure hose is used to inflate low pressure
items, such as air mattresses, pools, and floats.
NOTE: A pinch valve adaptor comes as part of the small
inflatable nozzle assembly that is attached to the end of
the low pressure hose. The pinch valve adaptor is used
for items that have a smaller air opening or pinch valve.
Insert pinch valve adaptor into pinch valve, ensuring that
the tip of the adaptor is inserted past the inner “flap” inside
the valve. When inflating, ensure that the tip is not blocked
during inflation.
Align the slots in the hose with the pins on the sides
of the inflator.
