Inflating tires
Caution:
If the pressure gauge on the compressor indicates more than twice the
recommended pressure for the object you are inflating and you have only
started to inflate the object, the valve connector is incorrectly connected to
the valve stem. This may damage the power pack with air compressor.
Remove and reattach the valve connector to the valve stem.
To inflate your vehicle, motorcycle, or bicycle tires:
1. Locate valve connector.
2. Remove from storage and uncoil hose.
3. Remove valve stem cap from tire to be inflated.

closed position.
8. Insert into the valve receptacle on the item to be inflated.
9. Press the compressor switch to turn the compressor ON.

Inflating small sports equipment
You can use the compressor to inflate small sports equipment such as balls
(soccer balls and footballs.)
Caution:
The unit cannot be used to inflate large capacity inflatables such as float
tubes, large air mattresses, transport truck tires, and inflatable boats. These
types of products require extended inflating times, which may damage the
compressor.
To inflate small sports equipment:
1. Choose the appropriate nozzle adapter.
2. If an adapter is required, insert the nozzle adapter into the valve
connector, turning it clockwise to tighten, and close the thumb latch.
3. Place the valve connector fully on the valve stem or into the valve
receptacle on the item to be inflated.
4. Turn the compressor ON and inflate to appropriate pressure.
5. Turn the compressor OFF before removing valve connector from the
valve stem.
6. Remove nozzle adapter from the valve connector and store in storage
compartment of Accessory Bag.
Caution:
Allow the compressor to cool down for 10 minutes after each 10 minutes of
continuous operation. Repeat if necessary.
Note: Leave the thumb latch in the open position for storing to relieve
pressure on the internal mechanism.
