SPECIFIC SAFETY RULES FOR
AIR COMPRESSORS
Familiarise yourself with the application, limita-
tions and potential hazards of the compressor.
WARNING: Disconnect the compressor from
the cigarette lighter socket before changing acces-
sories, servicing or performing any maintenance.
WARNING: Use only the supplied adaptors.
• Maintain the compressor in good condition, DO
NOT use if damaged.
• Ensure that there are no flammable or combus-
tible materials (including gases) near the compres-
sor when in use.
WARNING: This compressor is capable of high
pressure. DO NOT exceed the maximum safe pres-
sure of the item being inflated.
WARNING: The gauge on the compressor is for
guidance only. Where pressure is critical (e.g. tires)
check with a gauge of known accuracy.
• DO NOT leave the compressor operating unat-
tended.
• DO NOT operate in wet or damp conditions.
WARNING: To prevent overheating and subse-
quent damage to the unit, switch off after 10 min-
utes continuous operation and allow to cool for 30
minutes before switching back on.
• After use store in a safe, dry, childproof area
with the connector locking lever in the unlocked
position.
FEATURES AND OPERATION
Sturdy composite casing with a 12 Volt motor.
Easy-read gauge shows pressures up to 250 psi
(17,5 bar). Supplied with power cable with in-line
rotary power switch and plug for use in cigarette
lighter socket, high pressure hose with clip-on
connector and accessory kit including ball needle
and adaptors for inflatables.
NOTE: Connect only to 12 Volt DC supply capable
of providing a current of at least 8 amps.
TIRE INFLATION
• Remove the dust cap from the tyre valve and
push the connector onto the valve as far as it will
go.
Lock in place by pressing down the locking lever.
If air loss can be heard remove the connector and
then refit.
• Plug the cigarette lighter adaptor into the ve-
hicle’s lighter socket. Note that it may be neces-
sary to turn on the ignition to get power to the
lighter socket.
• When the gauge shows the required pressure
(see vehicle handbook) switch off the compressor
and unlock and remove the connector from the
tire valve.
• Refit the tire valve dust cap.
NOTE: At the first opportunity have the tire pres-
sure checked with a gauge of known accuracy.
INFLATABLES
Select the appropriate adaptor from the provided
and secure it in the connector.
Insert the adaptor into the inflatable and proceed
as in the instructions mentioned before to con-
nect and start the compressor. TAKE CARE NOT TO
OVER-INFLATE.
TROUBLESHOOTING
COMPRESSOR DOES NOT RUN
Poor connection between cigarette lighter plug
adaptor and lighter socket. Rotate plug in socket
to improve contact. Clean out socket.
Ignition required to be on to power socket. Turn
on ignition.
COMPRESSOR RUNS BUT DOES NOT INFLATE
Valve connector or adaptor leaking. Remove and
refit connector or adaptor.
Other leaks. Check compressor, connector hose
and item being inflated for leaks.
COMPRESSOR RUNS AT REDUCED SPEED
Low Voltage. Check condition of vehicle battery/
charging system.
Overheating. Switch off compressor immediately
and leave to cool for 30 minutes.
