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.

Note: This inflator is not recommended for inflating vehicle tires.

1. Remove the Cigarette Plug (1) from the recessed holder on the unit. Refer to Figure A.

2. Assure that the Thumbwheel Switch (2) is turned to the “OFF” position.

3. Situate the Portable Inflator outside of the car.

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

5. Turn on the Portable Inflator by sliding the Thumbwheel Switch to the “ON” position.
   NOTICE: Do not allow the Portable Inflator to run for more than 15 minutes at a time. After 15 minutes, allow it to cool for 5 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 (19a) to a tire or adapter, lift the Valve Lock (19b). 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 Adapter (33) 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 Portable Inflator when it is in operation. The unit will become very hot.

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

10. When you are finished, turn off the Portable 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.
