3. Release the valve connector. The hose will now be connected to the tyre valve.

4. To inflate the tyre, hold down the trigger of the air gun.

5. After a short time, release the trigger and check the tyre pressure by referring to the pressure gauge.
6. Avoid inflating the objects above the recommended inflation pressure. This could lead to damage and /or injuries.

7. If the tyre pressure is too high, it can be reduced with the integrated release valve.

• Refer to the owners manual for the car/bicycle to confirm the correct tyre pressure required.

INFLATING OTHER ITEMS

1. The compressor kit is supplied with a variety of adaptors that can be fitted to the rubber hose. These adaptors (shown on page 8) are suitable for different valves that are often used on inflatable items.
2. Adaptor (11) is used for footballs, basketballs etc.

3. Adaptor (12) is used for rubber dinghies, inflatable small swimming pools and air beds.

4. Adaptor (8) is used for bicycle tyres with “Presta” valves.

ATTACHING INFLATION ADAPTORS TO THE RUBBER HOSE

1. Push the selected adaptor into the rubber hose while pressing the hose tab.

2. Once it is inserted, release the hose tab.

3. Turn the adaptor in a clockwise direction to secure it in place.

BLOW GUN

1. To use the air gun as a blow gun, first unscrew and remove the rubber hose.

• The blower nozzle can then be screwed into the gun.

2. By varying the pressure on the trigger you can control the amount of compressed air released through the nozzle.

IMPORTANT: The operator is advised to wear eye protection when using the blow gun. Take care not to blow dirt or other loose particles towards yourself or other persons.

The blower nozzle adaptor is useful for blowing dust out of hollow spaces or hard to reach areas such as vents in electrical items or between the keys of a keyboard. It is also useful for cleaning soiled equipment.

MAINTENANCE

CLEANING

Ensure the compressor is disconnected from the power supply before cleaning. Keep the compressor free of dirt and dust as far as possible. Wipe with a clean cloth or blow it down with compressed air at low pressure.

If cleaning is required, use a damp cloth and some soft soap. Never use cleaning agents or solvents as these may be aggressive to the plastic parts. Ensure that no water can get into the interior of the compressor.

ALWAYS disconnect the hose and any spraying tools from the compressor before cleaning.

STORAGE

Store the power cable and hose inside the compressor storage compartment, taking care not to kink the hose or catch the leads.

Disconnect the mains plug and ventilate the compressor and any connected pneumatic tools. Store the compressor in a dry location.
