Operating Instructions

**** Read the ENTIRE IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION section at the beginning of this document including all text under subheadings therein before set up or use of this product.

WARNING!
TO PREVENT SERIOUS INJURY: This Inflator is not for inflating automotive tires!

1. Remove the Cigarette Plug (14) from the recessed holder on the unit (see Figure A).

2. Assure that the Thumbwheel Switch is turned to the “Off” position.

3. Situate the Inflator outside of the car.

4. Plug the Cigarette Plug into the 12 Volt receptacle in the car.
   WARNING!
   TO PREVENT SERIOUS INJURY: Due to the risk of carbon monoxide poisoning, do not run the vehicle’s engine within an enclosed area.

5. Turn on the Inflator by sliding the Thumbwheel Switch to the “on” position.
   NOTICE: Do not allow the Inflator to run for more than 10 minutes (continuously) at a time. After 10 minutes, allow it to cool for 30 minutes, and then you may resume inflation. Failure to do so may cause the unit to overheat and burn out.
   Note: When attaching the Air Outlet (16) to a tire or adapter, lift the Valve Lock (17). Attach the hose to the tire or adapter, and then press down the Valve Lock to seal the connection. To detach the hose from the tire or adapter, lift the Valve Lock and remove.

6. The Air Outlet has a universal tire adapter, so no adapter is needed to fill a standard tire.

7. To fill a standard athletic ball, thread on the Sports Needle accessory.

8. When using the unit as an air blower, thread on the appropriate sized adapter (two included).
   CAUTION! To avoid burns, do not touch the Inflator when it is in operation. The Inflator will become very hot.

9. Attach the Inflator to the item you wish you inflate.

10. When you are finished, turn Off the Inflator by turning the Thumbwheel Switch to the “Off” position. Lift up on the Valve Lock and detach the unit. Store the Cord/Cigarette Plug in the recessed holder.

EXPLOSION DANGER!
TO PREVENT SERIOUS INJURY:
Before inflating, check the manufacturer’s recommended air pressure.
Do not exceed that pressure. Over inflation may result in an explosion.

Maintenance and Servicing

**** Procedures not specifically explained in this manual must be performed only by a qualified technician.

WARNING
TO PREVENT SERIOUS INJURY FROM ACCIDENTAL OPERATION:
Turn the Thumbwheel switch “OFF” and disconnect the Power Cord/Cigarette Plug before performing any inspection, maintenance, or cleaning procedures.

TO PREVENT SERIOUS INJURY FROM INFLATOR FAILURE: Do not use damaged equipment. If abnormal noise or vibration occurs, have the problem corrected before further use.

1. BEFORE EACH USE, inspect the general condition of the Inflator. Check for:
   • loose hardware,
   • misalignment or binding of parts,

3. Check that the Cigarette Plug is clean of dirt, grease, or debris.

4. Make sure the universal outlet adapter is clean of dirt, grease, or debris.
