Do not attempt repairs or modifications. Refer to qualified service agencies for all service and repairs. Do not use this product in an area where it can fall or be pulled into water or other liquids. Do not reach for this product if it has fallen into liquid. Use this compressor with 12-Volt DC systems only. This product should never be left unattended during use. WARNING - To prevent injuries: Never allow children to operate this compressor. Close supervision is necessary when this compressor is being used near children. - Page 3 450P AUTOMATIC PORTABLE COMPRESSOR WITH ENHANCED FLOW TECHNOLOGY OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS Please read and follow the operating instructions carefully to assure that you will enjoy the convenience and best use out of your air compressor. 1. Always operate the compressor AT OR BELOW THE MAXIMUM PRESSURE RATING of the compressor. Refer to Specifications section of this manual. 2. Always OBSERVE THE MAXIMUM DUTY CYCLE of the air compressor. Refer to Specifications section of this manual for details. Operations exceeding maximum pressure ratings and or duty cycle will result in damage to air compressor. 3. Your air compressor is equipped with an AUTOMATIC THERMAL OVERLOAD PROTECTOR. This feature is designed to protect the air compressor from over-heating and causing permanent damage to your air compressor. The thermal overload protector will automatically cut off power to air compressor should internal operating temperature of the air compressor rise above safe levels during excessive use. 4. Should your compressor shut off suddenly after extended use, do not attempt to restart air compressor. Turn ON/OFF switch of air compressor to the OFF position. The automatic thermal overload protector will automatically reset when internal temperature of the air compressor drops below safe level. After allowing air compressor to cool off for about 30 minutes, you can safely resume use of the air compressor by turning on the air compressor. 5. Please note that you may experience a slight delay of the compressor’s motor starting when the ON/OFF switch is turned on while compressor is pressurized (when there is pressure in the line that the compressor is connected to). This is a normal delayed reaction, not a Compressor ON/ OFF switch malfunction. 6. 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. Compressor performance is also enhanced when operating compressor with vehicle engine running. 7. ONLY OPERATE THE AIR COMPRESSOR IN WELL VENTILATED AREAS.

450P AUTOMATIC PORTABLE COMPRESSOR WITH ENHANCED FLOW TECHNOLOGY 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. MAINTENANCE & REPAIRS Your air compressor is equipped with permanently lubricated, maintenance-free motor. Never try to lubricate the compressor. Regularly clean dust and dirt from compressor cooling fins and motor housing. All repairs should be performed by Manufacturer or Manufacturer authorized service agencies only. INLET AIR FILTER INSTALLATION INSTRUCTION 1. Check to make sure air filter element is properly installed in your Inlet Air Filter Assembly 2. Remove the temporary protective red plug from compressor’s air inlet port (Fig. 1). -
