USING THE AC POWER ADAPTER TO RECHARGE INFLATOR INTERNAL BATTERY
1.
Before recharging internal battery, see “Rechargeable Battery Cautions”, page 4.
2.
Ensure the main power switch is in the “on” position and the inflator power switch and work light power switch are
in the “off” position. See #1, #2 & #3 in figure 1, page 3.
3.
Insert the AC power adapter plug into the “DC In” socket on the front of the inflator. See #11 in figure 1.
4.
Plug the 110 AC adapter into a 110 Volt electrical outlet. See #18 in figure 1.
5.
The red recharging indicator light should flash indicating the battery is recharging.
6.
Before first use, charge inflator battery for 14 to 16 hours. After initial charge and subsequent usage, the battery
requires 7 to 9 hours to recharge. If the unit is used too long after the red battery level light comes on, recharging
time could take up to 20 hours.
7.
For best results, charge the battery in temperatures ranging from 65 °F (18 °C) to 75 °F (24 °C). If the inflator has
been exposed to below or above the safe charging temperature range, let inflator adjust in the appropriate climate
for 3 hours before charging.
8.
When fully charged, the internal battery should be capable of filling a standard P195/65R15 tire 4 to 5 times.
NOTE:
In the event the battery level is low to exhausted, the inflator can still be used if powered by using the 12 Volt DC
power cord attached to a vehicle 12 Volt cigarette lighter socket. The inflator will only draw power from the vehicle 12
Volt cigarette lighter when the 12 Volt cord is plugged in.
For the safety of your vehicle and your new BellAire™ 7000 tire inflator, set your vehicle emergency brake and follow
instructions for use as provided.
INFLATING TIRES
USING A VEHICLE 12 VOLT DC CIGARETTE LIGHTER SOCKET TO INFLATE TIRES:
1.
Remove and unwind 12 Volt power cord from the storage compartment. See #22 in figure 1, page 3.
2.
Make certain the inflator main and inflator power switches are both in the off position. See #1 & #2 in figure 1.
3.
Set emergency brake and start vehicle engine. See “Warning: Vehicle Exhaust Without Proper Ventilation”, page 4.
4.
Plug inflator lighter plug into vehicle 12 Volt cigarette lighter socket.
5.
Turn on the main power switch only. See #1 in figure 1.
6.
Check manufacturer’s recommended tire pressure specifications indicated on the tire sidewall.
7.
Choose the desired pressure format (PSI, BAR, or KPA) by pressing the “R” button. Press “R” button until desired pres-
sure format appears on the LCD display. See #5 in figure 2, page 3.
IMPORTANT:
The “R” re-set button should never be pressed while the air hose is connected to the tire and the “R”,”+”, “–“
buttons should never be pressed while the tire inflator is running. If the “R” button is accidently pressed, turn the inflator
power switch only to the off position (see #2 in figure 1), then press and hold down “–“ to check the pre-set pressure. See
#6 in figure 2. Adjust “+” or “–“ to set desired pressure.
8.
Set the auto shut-off pressure level by pressing the “+” or “–“ buttons. Once the pre-set pressure is set, wait a few
seconds for the display to change back to zero.
9.
Extend the air hose from its storage location and attach air hose nozzle to vehicle tire valve stem by threading the
nozzle onto the stem clockwise until secure. See #7 & #9 in figure 1.
NOTE:
When the nozzle is connected correctly, wait 5-7 seconds and the gauge will indicate the current tire pressure.
