IMPORTANCE OF PROPER TIRE PRESSURE
— Correct tire pressure is vital to road safety.
— Correct tire pressure can help improve vehicle fuel economy.
— Regularly check tires on vehicles to meet manufacturer’s recommended tire pressure.
— Always check pressures at ambient temperature, never check immediately following a long trip.
•
RECHARGEABLE BATTERY CAUTIONS
The inflator’s internal rechargeable battery must be charged before the initial use and at least once every 6
months. If the power is completely drained from the battery and not recharged within a month, the battery
may not be rechargeable. Turn main power switch to the off position before storing inflator for any length of
time. See #1 in figure 1.
—
Do not
continue to operate the inflator when the red battery indicator light is on by itself.
— Only use the AC adapter, included with this inflator, for recharging the internal battery.
— Plugging into a cigarette light socket or power socket does not recharge the internal battery. Only the AC
adapter, included with this inflator, will recharge the battery.
—
Do not
charge the battery at temperatures below 40 °F (5 °C) or above 105 °F (40 °C).
