Kobalt KL12120 Operating Instructions Manual page 4

PREPARATION

Make sure that your vehicle 12 volt power outlet is free of any ash residue or debris. A dirty
12 volt power outlet can cause the inflator and power cord to overheat. Overheating can
cause damage to your inflator/vehicle and could cause bodily harm or injury. Disconnect
power when not in use.

It is recommended that your vehicle's 12 volt battery be fully charged to get the best
performance from your inflator. If your vehicle battery is weak, the inflator will not work at
its maximum output level.

DANGER: For best results and more efficient power, it is recommended that you operate
your inflator with your VEHICLE'S ENGINE RUNNING, making absolutely sure you are
outside or in an open, well-ventilated area and NOT INSIDE A CONFINED AREA SUCH
AS A GARAGE as bodily injury or asphyxiation resulting in death could occur. ALWAYS
ALLOW FOR PROPER VENTILATION. Most vehicle 12 volt power outlets will operate
with vehicle ignition off; however, some vehicles require that the ignition be turned on.

This appliance has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other). This plug will fit in a
polarized outlet only one way. If the plug does not fit fully in the outlet, reverse the plug. If it
still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician to install the proper outlet. Do not change the
plug in any way.

Use only a 2-wire extension cord that has a 2-blade plug and a 2-slot receptacle that will
accept the plug on the product. Make sure your extension cord is in good condition. When
using an extension cord, be sure to use one heavy enough to carry the current your product
will draw. For lengths less than 6 feet, No. 18 AWG extension cords should be used. An
undersized cord will cause a drop in line voltage resulting in loss of power and overheating.

