6. AIR COMPRESSOR/TIRE INFLATOR
IMPORTANT:
Read Instructions Carefully To Avoid Possible Injury Or Property Damage.
The built-in 12 Volt DC air compressor is the ultimate compressor for all vehicles,
trailer tires and recreational inflatables. Three different sized nozzles are supplied.
Each nozzle will clip on the end of the standard tire valve connector located at the free
end of the compressor hose. The compressor nozzles are stored inside the hose hatch.
The compressor hose with tire fitting is stored in a retaining channel between the
jumper cable channels on the rear of the unit. The ON/OFF Switch is located on the
side of the Main Unit near the AC Recharge Port. The compressor can operate long
enough to fill up to 3 average sized tires before the battery must be recharged.
The compressor may be used by removing the air hose from the storage hatch and if
required, fitting an appropriate nozzle to the air hose. An On/Off switch located on
the side of the unit controls the power to the compressor and the gauge light. Refer to
Figures 3 for locations of compressor hose, nozzle storage hatch and hose. Return
hose to the storage compartment after use.
6.1 WARNINGS FOR COMPRESSOR USE
The compressor is capable of inflating up to 260 pounds per square inch (PSI)
pressure. To avoid over-inflation, carefully follow instructions on articles to be
inflated. Never exceed recommended pressures. Bursting articles can cause
serious injury. Always check pressure with the pressure gauge. Never leave
compressor unattended while in use. Allow unit to cool after 10 minutes of
continuous operation.
