PORTABLE COMPRESSOR
The built-in 12 volt DC compressor is the ultimate compressor for all vehicle tires, trailer
tires and recreational inflatables. A nozzle adaptor is supplied that screws onto the end
of the Sure Fit
®
nozzle at the free end of the compressor hose. The compressor hose
with tire fitting is stored in the hose storage groove on the rear of the unit. Refer to
the “Features” section to locate. The Compressor Power Button and Increase (+) and
Decrease (–) Compressor Pressure Control Buttons are located on the control panel on
the front of the unit.
Before proceeding, check the unit’s battery status on the LCD screen. Four solid bars in
the battery icon indicates a full battery. When the battery level is nearly empty with only
one solid bar, the unit MUST be recharged before use or the unit’s built-in low voltage
protection will activate. The empty Battery Status Icon will flash for a short period of
time before automatic shut down.
The compressor is capable of inflating up to 120 pounds per square inch (PSI) pressure.
Return hose to the hose storage groove after use.
WARNING – To reduce the risk of serious injury or property damage: Follow all safety
instructions found in the “Specific Safety Instructions for Compressors” section of this
instruction manual.
CAUTION – To reduce the risk of serious injury or property damage: When the
compressor is operated at a low PSI, the unit may start in low and gradually rev up.
When the compressor is operated at higher PSIs, the unit may operate normally for
several minutes, then rev down for a few minutes before returning to normal operation.
This feature protects the unit from overheating during normal use. In any event, do not
operate compressor continuously for longer than 10 minutes, as it may overheat. This
could damage the compressor. If the compressor must be operated for longer periods:
every 10 minutes press the Compressor Power Button to turn the compressor off,
