INFLATING TIRES
1. Remove valve cap or valve extended from the valve stem.
2. Depending upon the item being inflated, attach the universal thumb latch valve adaptor directly to the item or to the appropriate
inflating accessory. Car tires require no accessories.
3. If it is used without an accessory, simply push the adaptor down over the threaded portion of the tire valve with the lever in the upright
position and locking place by depression the lever down towards the hose side of the adaptor. If one of the accessories is being used,
lock the universal thumb latch valve adaptor to the accessory in the same manner.
4. Plug in the unit and press the on / off switch on the “ON” position. The unit will begin to inflate immediately. When pressure has
reached the desired level, turn the unit “OFF”. The pressure should be checked with the unit OFF. If on inspection you find that the
correct level has not been reached, turn the unit “ON”, and repeat the procedure.
5. If the tire is totally deflated, it’s possible that the tire could separate from the rim, allowing air to leak out when trying to inflate. This
usually happens only on completely flat tires. In the even this situation occurs, you will have to jack up the car prior to inflating the tire.
6. The time necessary to inflate a tire, will vary from tire to tire and will vary depending on how deflated the tire is.
For inflatables
1. Select the suitable adapter and insert it into the connector. (Fig. 4). Close thumb latch.
2. Check our TYPICAL INFLATION PRESSURE chart. This chart is for reference only and you should consult your owner’s manual for a
more exact pressure rating.
3. Lock it in place and insert adapter into article to be inflated. (Fig. 5)
4. Plug in the power cord, and turn on switch.
5. When proper pressure is reached, turn off switch, unplug power cord.
6. Remove adapter from inflated article and remove adapter from connector.
TROUBLE SHOOTING
INFLATOR DOES NOT START / BLOWS FUSES
1.- Push the power plug firmly into the receptacle and twist it back & forth.
2.- Check receptacle and plug terminals for dirt, particularly tobacco. Use a non-conductive probe, not fingers or metal.
INFLATOR RUNS BUT DOES NOT INFLATE
1.- Be sure the connector always touches the core of the valve stem.
2.- Check article for leaks.
3.- Check hose for breaks and leaks at fittings.
INFLATOR RUNS SLOWLY
1.- Overheated from excessive use. Shut it off and let it cool for 30 minutes.
Always use a gauge to check the actual pressure in tires, before starting using the inflator. A better pressure measure is reached when the
tire is “cold”. Keep the car engine off while using the compressor.
