Or Property Damage.
WARNINGS: The compressor is capable of inflating to 260 pounds per
square inch (PSI) pressure (approximately 18 kg/cm). 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 for five minutes
after10 minutes of continuous operation.

2. Push connector toward valve stem and close thumb latch.
3. Make sure connector is pushed on to valve stem as far as possible
before closing thumb latch.
4. Turn on the compressor (for larger items the trigger can be latched).
5. Observe pressure with the pressure gauge.
6. When desired pressure is reached, open thumb latch and remove
connector from valve stem.
7. Turn OFF compressor power switch.
IMPORTANT: Always leave the tire chuck thumb latch in the open
position when storing unit.
6.2 INFLATE OTHER ARTICLES (WITHOUT VALVE STEM)
Inflation of other than tires requires use of one of the nozzles (adapters). A
nozzle can be attached to the tire chuck or it can directly be connected to
the compressors outlet if the hose is removed.
A nozzle can be attached to the tire chuck. Open the nozzle hatch cover
and remove the required nozzle. Close the nozzle hatch cover. Place the tire
chuck over the nozzle fitting and secure by moving the chuck thumb latch so
it is parallel with the hose. Make sure the nozzle is clean and secure before
turning on the compressor. After use, release the nozzle from the chuck by
lifting the latch. Return the nozzle to the nozzle hatch.
A nozzle can also be directly attached to the compressor outlet if the hose
is not required.
