Mean Mother Air Compressors have many uses
when 4wdriving, camping, fishing, caravanning as
well as around the home. It is important for the
safety and performance of any vehicle, trailer or car-
avan that the tyre pressures are regularly checked
and maintained. For the 4WD traveller tyre pressure
will need to be varied depending on the terrain
travelled. Highway and bitumen roads require high
pressures, whereas terrains such as sand will require
a low pressure to increase the 4WD’s tyre traction.
By travelling with a Mean Mother Air Compressor
you will have the ability to adjust the tyre pressure
safely and reliably according to the terrain travelled,
as well as inflate tyres that have been repaired after
a puncture.
NOTE: This compressor is not designed for quick
inflation of high volume low pressure items such
as air beds or inflatable boats. A more suitable
item for this application would be a 12 Volt high
volume air pump such as the Dr Air AC100.
Mean Mother Air Compressors are designed for
reliability, performance, versatility, and ease of
operation. We are so confident in our product we
offer a limited 5 year warranty.

F.A.D. (FREE AIR DELIVERY) RATING:
OPERATING RATING:
POWER CONSUMPTION:
OVERHEATING PROTECTION:
F.A.D. (Free Air Delivery) rating is the actual quantity
in Litres per Minute, Gallons Per Minute and Cubic
Inches Per Minute of compressed air that is
discharged at 0 PSI from the compressor unit.
The Litres per Minute, Gallons Per Minute and Cubic
Inches Per Minute ratings and inflation times vary
according to how much pressure is in the tyre being
inflated. The lower the pressure in the tyre results
in a greater Litres per Minute, Gallons Per Minute
and Cubic Inches Per Minute capability.
A Mean Mother Air Compressor operates off your
vehicle’s battery system or 12 Volt power supply. Air
compressors can consume a lot of power, for
maximum performance the battery system or
power supply must be in excellent condition. Where
possible you should have your vehicle engine run-
ning to maintain a charging current to the battery.
The compressor will still operate if the engine is not
able to be switched on, so long as the battery is in
excellent condition. During operation monitor your
battery voltage so it does not get too low to restart
the vehicle. Please refer to the front of this manual
for full details on the compressor’s amperage (amp)
draw details. All details in this manual are based on
a continuous operation cycle.
Mean Mother Air Compressors F.A.D. (Free Air
Delivery) have been rated at 0 PSI. Please refer to the
front of this manual for full details of the compressor
performance at varying pressure levels.
This air compressor is equipped with an automatic
thermal cut out protection device. If the compressor
reaches an unsafe operating temperature, a protec-
tion circuit will cut the power to prevent damage. If
