1. INTRODUCTION
Congratulations on selecting the Vector AirPro™ Model VEC256
Compressor. This system is an advanced high-pressure (up to 260 PSI)
multi-use air compressor system with unique features that set it far above
the value and utility of ordinary compressors for mobile use. It is supplied
with a standard tire valve chuck for filling auto, truck, bike, and motorcycle
tires. Additionally, two different adapters are supplied to inflate soccer balls,
footballs, and popular inflatables. These adapters are conveniently stored
in a hatch in the compressor body. It is powered from its own snap-on/off
powerful battery to be used anywhere it is needed. It can also operate
from a standard 12 volt DC electrical system found on: trucks, cars, boats,
airplanes, RVs and tractors, using the supplied DC Power Adapter. A
supplied standard 110 VAC charger recharges the battery when required.
Typically, up to three completely flat tires can be inflated before the snap-on
battery has to be recharged.
A customer can purchase extra snap-on battery packs if completely cordless
operation is required (Part VEC194). The compressor with the snap-on DC
Power Adapter is ideal for use with Vector 12 volt DC cordless, portable,
rechargeable DC Power supplies if extended operating time in the field is
required.
FIGURE 1
The Compressor On/Off Switch controls operation of the compressor. It con-
veniently is depressed and released to control inflation. An exact pressure is
obtained by observing the gauge and releasing the trigger when the correct
pressure is achieved. For longer inflation operations, the Trigger Lock can
be moved laterally to lock the trigger in the ON position. Pushing the trigger
lock to the opposite direction releases the trigger (OFF) and
inflation stops.
