• PLACE INFLATOR ON A HARD, CLEAN SURFACE.

1. DO NOT run vehicle while inflator is operating. You may need to be in "accessory" or "on" position. Please make sure emergency brake is set and car is in park. Always ensure air hose chuck touches the core of the valve stem for proper inflation.
2. DO NOT use inflator continuously for more than 10 minutes. Allow unit to cool approximately 25 minutes between uses. Do not leave inflator unattended.
3. ALWAYS use a pressure gauge to check tire pressure. DO NOT overinflate.
4. Soft inflatables (i.e. rafts, balls, etc.) may not have recommended pressure markings. Be careful not to inflate items beyond their capacity.
5. While operating, never block the inflator input or output.
6. Keep inflator out of reach of children.
7. For use with 12 volt DC power outlets rated 15 amps or higher. Do not use with older 8 amp cigarette lighter receptacles.

TO INFLATE TIRES

1. Attach twist-connect air fitting to inflator, then screw the opposite end connector onto tire's valve stem
   
2. Attach battery clips to battery, positive side first.
   
3. Switch inflator "ON", and inflate tire to manufacturer's recommended air pressure.
   When proper pressure is reached, turn off inflator and disconnect power cord, ground side first.
   

TROUBLESHOOTING

Inflator fails to operate when plugged in

1. Thermal break may have "blown".
2. Allow inflator to cool for 25 mintues, then retry.

Inflator does not start

1. Ensure connection is secure.
2. Make sure connectors and terminals are free of corrosion, debris, etc.

Inflator runs but does not inflate

1. Be sure the connector is tightly screwed on the valve stem as far as possible.
2. Check tire for leaks, and check hose for breaks and leaks at fittings.

Inflator runs slowly

1. Overheated from excessive use, shut it off and allow to cool for 25 minutes
2. Voltage too low, check condition of battery

NOTE: If tire is totally deflated, it is possible that the tire could separate from the rim allowing air to leak out when trying to inflate. In the event this situation occurs, you will have to jack up the tire prior to inflation.

Keep inflator out of reach of children. Always use a tire gauge to check the actual pressure in tires. Do not over-inflate tire.
