WARNING:
To reduce the risk of injury, do not attempt to use this
product until you have read thoroughly and understand
completely this operator's manual and the operator's
manual for the RYOBI garage door opener. Ensure
compatibility and fit before using this accessory. Do not
use this accessory if a part is damaged or missing.
WARNING:
When using electric appliances, basic precautions should
always be followed, including the following:
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
WORK AREA
 Keep your work area clean and well lit. Cluttered
benches and dark areas invite accidents.
 Keep bystanders, children, and visitors away while
operating an inflator. Distractions can cause you to lose
control.
 Operate inflator in an open area at least 18 in. away
from any wall or object that could restrict the flow of
fresh air to ventilation openings.
ELECTRICAL SAFETY
 Avoid body contact with grounded surfaces such as
pipes, radiators, ranges, and refrigerators. There is an
increased risk of electric shock if your body is grounded.
 Don't expose inflator accessory to rain or wet
conditions. Water entering the inflator accessory will
increase the risk of electric shock.
 This accessory is designed to install directly onto
the outlets on a RYOBI garage door opener. Do not
connect the accessory to any other electrical outlets or
extension cords.
PERSONAL SAFETY
 Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use
common sense when operating an inflator. Do not use
inflator while tired, ill, upset, or under the influence of
drugs, alcohol, or medication. A moment of inattention
while operating inflator may result in serious personal injury.
 Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry.
Contain long hair. Keep your hair, clothing, and gloves
away from moving parts. Loose clothes, jewelry, or long
hair can be caught in moving parts.
 Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance
at all times. Proper footing and balance enable better
control of the inflator in unexpected situations.
 Use safety equipment. Always wear eye protection.
Dust mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing
protection must be used for appropriate conditions.

GENERAL SAFETY RULES

2 - English
 Eye protection is required to guard against flying
fasteners and debris which could cause severe eye
injury.
 Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry. Contain long
hair. Loose clothes, jewelry, or long hair can be drawn
into air vents.
 Do not use on a ladder or unstable support. Stable
footing on a solid surface enables better control of the
inflator in unexpected situations.
 Do not disassemble the inflator.
 Do not operate inflator near flammable liquids or in
gaseous or explosive atmospheres. Internal sparks
may ignite fumes.
 Do not store your inflator in a damp or wet location.
Do not store in locations where the temperature is less
than 50°F or more than 100°F. Do not store in outside
sheds or in vehicles.
INFLATOR USE AND CARE
 Check hose for weak or worn condition before each
use, making certain all connections are secure. Do not
use if damage is found. Purchase a new hose or notify
an authorized service center for examination or repair.
 Release all pressures within the system slowly. Dust
and debris may be harmful.
 Do not use inflator if the garage door opener keypad
does not turn it on or off. An inflator that cannot
be controlled by the garage door opener keypad is
dangerous and must be repaired.
 Unplug the garage door opener before making
any adjustments, changing adaptors, or removing
the inflator from the garage door operator. Such
preventive safety measures reduce the risk of starting
the inflator accidentally.
 When not in use, keep air hose out of reach of children
and other untrained persons. Air hoses are dangerous
in the hands of untrained users.
 Check for misalignment or binding of moving parts,
breakage of parts, and any other condition that may
affect the inflator's operation. If damaged, have the
inflator serviced before using. Many accidents are
caused by poorly maintained tools.
 Use only adaptors that are recommended by the
manufacturer for your model. Adaptors that may be
suitable for one inflator may create a risk of injury when
used on another inflator.
 Keep the inflator and its hose, clean and free from oil
and grease. Always use a clean cloth when cleaning.
Never use brake fluids, gasoline, petroleum-based
products, or any strong solvents to clean your inflator.
Following this rule will reduce the risk of loss of control
and deterioration of the enclosure plastic.
 Never point any inflator toward yourself or others.
