Inflating Items

Note: Do not use the compressor for more than 10 minutes continuous-
ly and allow it to cool down for at least 10 minutes. Otherwise, the
compressor may overheat and become permanently damaged.

Inflating with the high Pressure Hose

The air chuck on the high pressure hose (1) can be used without
adaptor to inflate motor vehicle tyres or with any application that has a
valve stem that fits the air chuck opening.
Note: When inflating items of 1.0 PSI or less, inflate in short bursts and
check after each burst by feel or with a calibrated measuring device to
determine accurate pressure.
 Set the desired target pressure.
 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 ls a meas-
urement 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.
 Set the main switch (3) to II to start inflating.
 The compressor will run until the target pressure is slightly exceed-
ed, then it will decrease the pressure to reach the target pressure.
 When the desired pressure is reached and the compressor has
stopped set the main switch to O.
 Remove the hose and store in hose wrap on the right side of the
compressor.
 Turn off the display by pressing and holding the (+) and (-) buttons
until the display turns off.
Note: Stand at least half a metre away from item being inflated.
Use of the Adaptors
The high pressure air hose can be used with the provided adaptors to
inflate a variety of items.
 Insert the adaptor (or needle) into the air chuck and push the air
chuck clamp down until it locks into place. Inflate to the desired
pressure.
