3. ATTACHING THE COMPRESSOR’S AIR HOSE
The Air Hose is supplied as a separate item from the compressor body. The
hose has a ribbed brass fitting at one end and a standard tire chuck at the
other end. To use the hose it must first be connected to the compressor outlet.
Loosen the Hose retaining ring (counterclockwise), insert the hose fitting into
the short, rubber sealing sleeve. Make sure the hose fitting is inserted fully
into the sleeve. Partially tighten (clockwise) the hose-retaining ring and push
the fitting in further. Do this two or three times until the fitting is firmly
attached and the ring is firmly tightened.
WARNING: Improperly attached hoses or nozzles can fly out under
compressor pressure. Make sure the connections are tight.
WARNINGS:
1. There is risk of dust or dirt projectiles being released if the compressor
hose or nozzles are not clean when the compressor is turned on.
2.
Wearing protective goggles while operating this compressor can protect eyes
from flying particles of dust and dirt. Failure to follow instructions may cause
property damage, and/or personal injury.
3. Keep out of reach of children.
4. POWERING THE COMPRESSOR OR INFLATOR
The compressor can be powered either from a supplied battery pack or
from a supplied DC Power Adapter.
4.1 POWERING FROM THE BATTERY PACK
The supplied battery pack powers the compressor or inflator for short
duration, cordless operation. The Battery Pack should be fully charged
initially before use (see paragraph 5 for charging instructions.)
To connect the charged battery pack to either the compressor or inflator,
align the battery pack so that the battery release buttons snap onto the
appropriate appliance. The battery pack fits only one way to ensure correct
polarity of the contacts. To remove the Battery Pack, press the Battery Pack
Release buttons and the battery pack will separate from the appliance.
4.2 DC POWER ADAPTER USE
The DC power adapter can power the compressor or inflator for longer
operation from an external 12 volt power source.
