OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS (cont’d):

This air compressor comes with 1/4” quick connect stud. A primary coil hose, an extension 

coil hose and a tire inflation gun are also included with your compressor. Both ends of the 

primary hose are equipped with 1/4” quick connect couplers. The rubber overmold end should 

be connected to the compressor itself. One end of the extension coil hose is equipped with a 

1/4” quick connect coupler, and the other end with a quick connect stud. The extension hose 

is used to elongate overall reach. The tire inflation gun comes with a 1/4” quick connect

stud, pressure gauge, rubber hose, bleeder valve and tire chuck. Attach one end of the 

extension coil hose to the stud on your compressor and the other end to the stud on the tire 

gun kit. The tire gun kit can be used for both airing up and airing down. Please familiarize 

yourself with the following functions of this versatile air tool:

TIRE INFLATION:

1.  Attach one end of the extension coil hose to the compressor and the other end to the tire gun kit,

  45-degree angled chuck or 90-degree twist-on chuck – depending on need.

2.  Turn compressor switch on and hold down the trigger on the tire gun kit to begin inflation.

3. When desired pressure is reached, release the trigger. If finished with use, turn power switch on

  compressor off position.

NOTE:

 To release excess pressure, turn off compressor and disconnect hose from compressor. 

 

With the tire inflation gun still connected to the other end of the coil hose, pull trigger on the tire 

inflation gun to release excess pressure.

CAUTION:

 To avoid over inflation, never exceed recommended pressure on articles to be inflated. 

Bursting can cause serious injury.

NOTE:

 Your air compressor is equipped with a pressure switch (cut in at 130 PSI, cut out at 

 

155 PSI). This feature is designed to protect the air compressor from over-pressure causing 

permanent damage to your air compressor.

TIRE DEFLATION:

1. With the inflation option of your choice still connected to the tire inflation gun, press the

  bleeder valve button on the tire gun kit to decrease tire pressure.

2. When desired pressure is reached, release the bleeder valve button to stop tire deflation.

IMPORTANT:

 Make sure compressor sits upright while operating compressor. Do not operate 

compressor in any other position. Avoid tugging at compressor to move it. Instead, move 

compressor to the same side of vehicle as tires that are being aired up.  

Always make sure the Portable Compressor’s power cord is uncoiled and fully extended 

when using your air compressor to avoid overheating the power cord.

INLINE PRESSURE GAUGE:

1.  The pressure gauge on the inflation gun provides convenient tire pressure monitoring when airing 

 

  up or down (not airflow of the compressor).  This eliminates switching back and forth between a 

 

  tire chuck and a tire pressure gauge. 

2.  Please note that during inflation and deflation, due to air velocity, pressure gauge cannot provide  

  accurate pressure readings.  Release lever on the tire inflation gun during inflation to check 

 

  tire air pressure. 

NOTE:

 To release excess pressure, turn off compressor and disconnect hose from compressor. 

 

With the tire inflation gun still connected to the other end of the coil hose, pull trigger on the tire 

inflation gun to release excess pressure.
