Primary Hose & Extension Hoses: Dual hoses, with quick connect couplings. Tire Inflation Gun: Normally closed-ended chuck, (until lever is engaged) all air chucks attach to the Tire Inflation Gun with quick connect couplings. SAFETY PRECAUTIONS: 1. Always inflate tires to manufacturer’s recommended tire pressures. Exercise extreme caution when driving with aired-down tires. Reinflate tires before high-speed roadway travel. 2. Never exceed 20 M.P.H. when driving with partially inflated tires. 3. Never make sharp turns while driving with reduced tire pressure. 4. Re-inflate tires before high speed traveling onto roadways. 5. Use heat-resistant, minimum 200 PSI-rated working pressure extension hose. Do not use aftermarket hoses with less than 200 PSI working pressure. Some aftermarket hoses may not be suitable for use with this air compressor due to heat and pressure typically generated by this type of air compressors. - Page 6 400P-RVS AUTOMATIC PORTABLE COMPRESSOR INLET AIR FILTER INSTALLATION INSTRUCTION: 1.
