Safety Information
PRECAUTIONS
- Save these instructions for future reference.
- The safety instructions provided in this manual are not intended to cover all possible conditions that may occur during product operation. Always use common sense and pay attention to all WARNING and CAUTION statements in this manual.
- Keep your work area clean and well lit. Cluttered benches and dark areas increase the possibility of personal injury or property damage.
- Do not operate power tools in explosive atmospheres, such as in the presence of flammable liquids, gases, or dust.
- Keep bystanders, children, and visitors away while operating a power tool. Distractions can cause you to lose control.
- Use 12-Volt DC only. Ensure that your vehicle has a 12-Volt power outlet that is free of any ash residue or debris. A dirty 12-Volt power outlet can cause the inflator and power cord to overheat which can cause damage to your inflator/vehicle and bodily harm or injury. Disconnect the power when not in use.
- Make sure the connection between the 12-Volt plug-in and the 12-Volt power outlet is secure. A loose connection can cause the 12-Volt power outlet to arc and/or spark which can cause damage to your inflator and the 12-Volt power outlet. If this occurs, it is also possible that the 15-Amp fuse in your inflator’s 12-Volt plug-in can be damaged or blown if the connection is poor.
- This inflator is designed to inflate vehicle tires, bicycle tires, ATV tires, sports equipment, air mattresses, beach toys, and other inflatables. Do not use for any purpose other than inflating.
- Allow the inflator to cool down for 10 minutes after each 10 minutes of continuous operation.
- Turn the power off after using the inflator.
- The inflator is not a toy. Keep away from children at all times.
- Do not carry the inflator by the air hose or power cord as damage may occur.
- Do not leave the inflator unattended while in operation.
- Do not over-inflate the item you are inflating. Follow the manufacturer’s instructions for your item.
- Keep the inflator away from flammable areas/ liquids at all times.
- Do not operate the inflator in wet or damp areas.
- Operate the inflator only with the accessories and or attachments that are included.
- If available, it is recommended that safety glasses be used when operating the inflator.
- Risk of Bursting – Use only the recommended included accessories.
- When operating your inflator it is recommended that your vehicle engine be turned on and running. This allows your vehicle battery to maintain a full charge and therefore your inflator will operate at maximum power and efficiency. It is ok to operate your inflator when your vehicle engine is turned off and not running, but if your vehicle battery is not fully charged your inflator will operate slower and also could possibly drain your battery of 12-Volt current.

- Lift cover and then remove and examine the fuse (G). If the metal link inside is separated/broken and/or discolored, the fuse is bad and needs to be replaced.
- To replace, only use the included spare 15-Amp fuse or a standard size automotive – ATO 15-Amp spade fuse (T). Press it firmly into place and then put the cover over the fuse to protect it.
Care and Cleaning
- Clean the inflator with a non-abrasive slightly damp cloth as needed.
- Locate the inflator in a clean, dry, and well ventilated area. The inflator pump and housing are designed to allow for proper cooling. The ventilation openings on the inflator are necessary to maintain proper operating temperature. Do not place rags or other materials on or near these openings.
- Wipe plastic parts clean using mild soap and warm water.
- Any other servicing should be done by an authorized service representative.
