The Auxiliary LED Area Light is controlled by the Auxiliary LED Area Light Power
Switch located directly under the Area Light above the Spotlight. Make sure the Area
Light is turned OFF when the unit is being recharged or stored.
USING THE UNIT AS A 12 VOLT DC
PORTABLE POWER SUPPLY
This portable power source is also for use with all 12 volt DC accessories equipped
with a male accessory outlet plug and are rated up to 15 amps.
1. Insert the 12 volt DC plug from the appliance into the unit's 12 Volt DC
Accessory Outlet/Recharge Port. DO NOT EXCEED A 15 AMP LOAD.
2. Switch on the appliance and operate as usual.
3. Periodically press the battery charge level pushbutton to check battery status.
WARNING
Do not attempt to connect items exceeding the 15 amp, 12 volt rating.
Using the Inflator and a 12 volt DC item may exceed 15 amps and
cause damage to the unit, item, and/or accessories, and will void
warranty. Therefore, it is strongly recommended not to use both the
12 Volt DC Accessory/Recharge Port and the Inflator at the same time.

USING THE INFLATOR/AIR COMPRESSOR
The built-in 12 volt DC Inflator/Air Compressor is the ultimate inflator for all vehicle
tires, trailer tires and sports inflatables. The attached hose with standard tire valve
connector (chuck) and three different sized nozzles are located in the compartment in
the rear of the unit.
Each nozzle clips on the end of the standard tire valve connector attached to the free
end of the inflator/air compressor hose.
WARNING
The Inflator/Air Compressor is capable of inflating up to 260 pounds
per square inch (PSI). To avoid overinflating, carefully follow
instructions on articles to be inflated. Never exceed recommended
pressures. Always check pressure with the pressure gauge. Never
leave the Inflator/Air Compressor unattended while in use. Bursting
articles can cause serious injury.
CAUTION
Do not operate the Inflator/Air Compressor continuously for extended
periods of time (approx. 15 minutes, depending on the ambient
temperature), as it may overheat. In such event, the Inflator/Air
Compressor will shut down and can be restarted after a cooling period
of approximately 15 minutes.
Inflating Products With a Valve Stem
1. Place the standard connector (chuck) of the hose on the valve stem.
2. Push connector toward the valve stem and close thumb latch.
Note:
Make sure connector is pushed onto valve stem as far as possible
before closing thumb latch.
3. Slide the Inflator/Air Compressor Power Switch to ON.
4. Monitor the pressure gauge. When desired pressure is reached, slide the
Inflator/Air Compressor Power Switch to OFF; open thumb latch and remove
connector from valve stem.
5. Store the hose in the Inflator Hose/Accessory Storage Compartment when not
in use.
Inflating Products Without a Valve Stem
Inflation of other items requires use of one of the adapters (nozzles).
1. Insert appropriate adapter (e.g. needle) into the connector (chuck) on the Air hose
and close thumb latch.
2. Insert adapter (e.g. needle) into item to inflate.
3. Slide Inflator/Air Compressor Switch to COMPRESSOR.
4. Refer to the following table for approximate filling pressure and time. Small items
such as volleyballs, footballs, etc. inflate very rapidly.
5. Monitor the pressure gauge. When desired pressure is reached, slide the
Inflator/Air Compressor Power Switch to OFF; open thumb latch and remove
connector from valve stem.
6. Remove adapter from item and store along with the hose in the Inflator
Hose/Accessory Storage Compartment.
