General Operating Instructions (please read)
•
Always operate the compressor within its maximum pressure rating & duty
cycle. Refer to the specifications section of this manual for details.
•
Your air compressor is equipped with an automatic thermal overload
protector. This feature is designed to protect the air compressor from
over-heating & causing permanent damage to your air compressor. The
thermal overload protector will automatically cut off power to air compressor
should internal operating temperature rise above safe levels during
excessive use.
•
Should at any time during usage your air compressor automatically shut
down, do not attempt to restart air compressor. Turn off the power switch. The
automatic thermal overload protector will automatically reset when internal
temperature of the air compressor drops to safe levels. After allowing air
compressor to cool off for about 15 minutes, you can safely resume usage of
the air compressor by turning on the power switch.
•
It is strongly recommended that you keep the vehicle's engine running while
using the air compressor to prevent discharge of your vehicle's battery. This
means you should ONLY OPERATE THE AIR COMPRESSOR IN WELL VENTILATED
AREAS. Compressor performance is also enhanced when operating with the
vehicle's engine running.
•
Please note that you may experience a slight delay (about 3 sec) to the
compressor's motor starting when the compressor is pressurised, (i.e. when
there is back pressure in the air line) This is a normal delayed reaction, not a
compressor on/off switch malfunction.
•
This compressor is equipped with a built-in pressure switch with a factory set
ON pressure of 120 psi (± 5%) & a factory set OFF pressure of 150 psi (± 5%).
During inflation, for pressures between 115 to 150 psi, should inflation be halted
momentarily, & compressor does not re-start when tyre inflation trigger is
pressed, (normal, since inline pressure is greater than cut-on pressure of the
pressure switch & less than cut-off pressure of the pressure switch) then restart
compressor by deflating tyre pressure below 115 psi, & resume tyre inflation.

Maintenance
•
The air filter must be installed and maintained. The air filter housing has a
screw-on lid to gain access to the replaceable air filter element inside.
•
Dirty or clogged filter elements can allow dirt & dust to enter the compressor
and damage internal parts, leading to premature compressor failure or
poor performance. Check air filters regularly and replace when appropriate
according to the condition of the filters and the operating environment.
•
Your air compressor is equipped with a permanently lubricated, maintenance
free motor. Never try to lubricate compressor.
•
Regularly clean dust & dirt from compressor cooling fin s & motor housing.
Note: Compressor is moisture & Dust resistant – NOT Water or Dust Proof.
Tyre Inflation Operating Instructions
Before attaching the air compressor's power cord to the 12 Volt D.C. power
source, check to make sure that the power switch is in the 'Off' position. Attach
the Red battery clamp to the Positive terminal of the battery & the Black battery
clamp to the Negative terminal of the battery, ensuring you have made a
good connection. Always keep your vehicle's engine running while operating
compressor to avoid draining your vehicle's battery.
Always make sure the portable compressor's power cord is uncoiled & fully
extended to avoid overheating of the power cord.
The air compressor comes with a heavy duty, heat resistant coiled air hose with
quick connect air outlet fittings & tyre inflator/deflator.
