for children.
• Protect the product from extreme temperatures, direct sunlight, strong jolts, high humidity, moisture,
flammable gases, vapours and solvents.
• Do not place the product under any mechanical stress.
• If it is no longer possible to operate the product safely, take it out of operation and protect it from any
accidental use. Safe operation can no longer be guaranteed if the product:

• Please handle the product carefully. Jolts, impacts or a fall even from a low height can damage the
product.
• Also observe the safety and operating instructions of any other devices which are connected to the
product.
• The compressor may only be operated on direct-current voltage of 12 V (such as via the cigarette lighter
socket of a passenger car). Other voltages will cause the compressor to be destroyed!
• The compressor is not suited for the tyres of trucks, agricultural vehicles, or similar, since those require
higher inflation pressures and air quantities.
• The maximum operating time is 10 minutes. After use, the compressor must cool down for approx.
5 minutes before it can be used again.
• Do not operate the product when it is unattended.
• Ensure the maximum permissible pressure is not exceeded in the inflated tyres or the dinghy, ball etc.
Danger of explosion!
• Due to the high current drain the vehicle battery can be discharged by the compressor, if the compressor is
operated repeatedly and over longer periods of time.
• Check the product prior to initial use for damages; if you determine the product is damaged, do not operate it.
