POWER SOURCEBoth the air compressor and air inflator canbe powered by both the Ni-Cd rechargeablebattery and the 12V cigarette lighter adapter.

RECHARGEABLE BATTERIESThe Inflation Station comes with two 9.6V1,000 mAh Ni-Cd rechargeable batteries. Thetwo batteries are identical and can be used onboth the air compressor and air inflator. Thebatteries can be charged either on the chargerstation, or from the AC charger port on the battery.

CHARGING BATTERY ON THE CHARGER STATIONBefore initial use, place both high-pressure aircompressor and high-volume air inflator on thecharger station for an initial charge time of 15 to18 hours. Repeat charging times are approxi-mately 8-12 hours, if batteries are depleted.Warning! Failure to fully charge the battery will

result in shorter life, compromised perform-

ance and will void battery warranty. To keepboth air compressor and air inflator fullycharged at all times, place both units on thecharger station whenever they are not in use.The charger station red LED indicator will be“ON” once the air compressor and/or air infla-tor has been properly placed on the station. Thecharger station will control battery charging toensure optimal battery charge. We recommendthat if the inflation station is not going to beused for an extended period of time (i.e. 4months or more), the unit should be unpluggedand stored indoors. When the inflation stationis removed from storage, please re-charge for15 to 18 hours before use.

CHARGING FROM THE AC CHARGERPORT ON THE BATTERY Remove the battery from the air compres-sor/inflator by gripping the end of the batteryand pulling it out. The same AC charger can beused to charge the battery directly by con-necting the AC charger to AC charger port onthe battery and plugging the AC charger to an110V-120V power source. The red LED indica-tor will be “ON” when the battery is charging.When charging directly from the AC chargerport on the battery, the charging time must

not exceed 24 hours. Repeat charging timesare approximately 10 -15 hours, if the batteryis depleted.

TYPICAL RUN-TIME*

DEVICE TYPICAL RUN-TIME*

Air Compressor 10-15 minutes

Air Inflator 15-20 minutes

* REMARK:1. Typical run-time will vary depending on

the battery level, pressure load during use,and the operating conditions.

2. High-pressure loading, or excessive backpressure will result in a shorter run-timethan indicated above.

3. Cold temperature conditions will reducebattery run-time. We recommend

using the 12V cigarette lighter adapter

pack during cold temperature

operating conditions.

When the operating period per charge is

significantly reduced, it indicates the

battery is worn-out and should be replaced.

INFLATION INSTRUCTIONHIGH-PRESSURE AIR COMPRESSOR

The Air Compressor has been speciallydesigned for simple and fast inflation of cartires, bicycle tires, basketball, sporting equip-ment, and party balloons. The air compressorprovides a small quantity of air at a relativelyhigh pressure.

INFLATING A CAR TIRE AND BICYCLE TIRE1. Loosen the union valve from the air nozzle.2. Insert the pressure gauge hose into

the air nozzle and tighten the union valve.3. Screw the thread connector onto tire’s

valve stem.4. Unlock the trigger lock switch and press

the trigger button. For continuous infla-tion, engage the trigger lock switch.

5. Operate the air compressor until thedesired pressure is reached.

6. Remove the thread connector from the tire.

Note: To avoid over-inflation of tires, pleasecheck the recommended car tire pressure inthe vehicle’s owner’s manual. For bicycle tire,please check the tire marking.

INFLATING SPORTING EQUIPMENT (I.E. BASKETBALL) OR PARTY BALLOONS1. Loosen the union valve from the air nozzle.2. Insert the ball/balloon adapter into the air

nozzle and tighten the union valve.3. Insert the ball/balloon adapter into valve of

the object to be inflated.4. Operate the air compressor until the object

is fully inflated.5. Remove ball/balloon adapter from the

inflated object’s valve.

Note: If a pressure reading is required duringinflation, use the pressure gauge hose provided.

� CAUTION �

• Do not run the air compressor continuously for more than 15 minutes.

After each 15 minutes, allow it to cool for a minimum of 15 minutes.

• Do not leave the air compressor unattended while in operation.

Keep out of reach of children.

• Do not exceed maximum pressure of 150 psi.

• The built-in pressure gauge will provide an estimated reading only.

HIGH-VOLUME AIR INFLATOR

The Air Inflator is designed for quick and easyinflation and deflation of high air volumeobjects such as air mattresses, rafts, inflatabletoys and pool toys.

BEFORE INFLATING Choose the appropriate inflatable adapter.There are four inflatable adapters providedfor high-volume inflation/deflation. The smalland medium adapters must be used with theinflatable connector provided. The inflatableconnector and large adapter can be directlyattached to the inflation air outlet.

INFLATING PROCEDURE1. Insert the appropriate inflatable adapter

into inflation outlet.2. Insert adapter into the air valve of the

object to be inflated. 3. Unlock the trigger lock switch and press

the trigger button. For continuous inflation, engage the trigger lock switch.

4. Operate the air inflator until the desiredfirmness is reached.

5. Remove adapter from the inflated objectvalve and close the valve cap.

DEFLATING PROCEDURE1. Insert the inflatable adapter into

deflation outlet.2. Insert adapter into the valve of the object

to be deflated. 3. Unlock the trigger lock switch and press

the trigger button. For continuous defla-tion, engage the trigger lock switch.

4. Operate the air inflator until desired deflation is reached.

5. Remove adapter from the deflated object valve.

Note: Make sure the stop valve or resistedvalve is opened, before inflation or deflation.

INFLATION TIPS FOR LARGE OBJECTS:The performance of an air inflator depends onair flow rate, size of adapter and the valve of theinflatable object. The smaller the valve and/or adapter used, the lower the air flow rate.Therefore, always buy inflatable objects withthe largest possible valves. Typically, air mat-tresses or large inflatable objects may havetwo sizes of air valve, always inflate from thelargest valve to get maximum performance.

� CAUTION �

• Do not run the air inflator for continuously for more than 15 minutes. After each

15 minutes, allow it to cool for a minimum of 15 minutes.

• Do not leave the air inflator unattended while in operation. Keep out of reach of children.

• Make sure the stop valve or resisted valve is opened, before inflation or deflation.
