[ACT 027] Manual E 6/9/05 10:18 PM Page 6 INFLATION INSTRUCTION HIGH-PRESSURE AIR COMPRESSOR The Air Compressor has been specially designed for simple and fast inflation of car tires, bicycle tires, basketball, sporting equipment, and party balloons. The air compressor provides a small quantity of air at a relatively high pressure. INFLATING A CAR TIRE AND BICYCLE TIRE 1. With power switch in O (off) position, roll out the 12V cord from storage compartment, and connect the 12V car cigarette lighter adapter to the cigarette lighter socket in your car. 2. To choose desired pressure format PSI, BAR, KPA, press the M button. Each press of the M button cycles through the pressure format. 3. Press + or - for 3 seconds to check pre-set level. Adjust to desired level by pressing + or -. Once pre-set pressure is set, wait a few seconds for display to change back to zero. 4. Screw the thread connector onto tire s valve stem. When connected correctly the gauge will display the current pressure in the tire. 5. Turn the I/O switch to the I position. Your compressor will now inflate your tire to the pre-set pressure level, and will shut off automatically. 6. Remove the thread connector from the tire. 7. Disconnect the 12V car cigarette lighter adapter from the cigarette lighter socket and store the 12V cord into the compartment area. Note:To avoid over-inflation of tires, please check the recommended car tire pressure in the vehicle s owner s manual. For bicycle tire, please check the tire marking. INFLATING SPORTING EQUIPMENT (I.E. BASKETBALL) OR PARTY BALLOONS 1. With power switch in O (off) position, roll out the 12V cord from storage compartment, and connect the 12V car cigarette lighter adapter to the cigarette lighter socket in your car. 2. Screw the ball/balloon adapter into the thread connector. 3. Insert the ball/balloon adapter into valve of the object to be inflated. 3
[ACT 027] Manual E 6/9/05 10:18 PM Page 7 INFLATION INSTRUCTION 4. Turn the I/O switch to the I position. Operate the air compressor until the desired firmness is reached, or the object is fully inflated. 5. Pull ball/balloon adapter from the inflated object s valve and unscrew ball/balloon adapter from the thread connector. 6. Disconnect the 12V car cigarette lighter adapter from the cigarette lighter socket and store the 12V cord into the compartment area. Note: If a pressure reading is required during inflation, the built-in pressure gauge will provide an estimated reading only. CAUTION Do not run the air compressor continuously for more than 20 minutes. After each 20 minutes, allow it to cool for a minimum of 20 minutes. Do not leave the air compressor unattended while in operation. Keep out of reach of children. Do not exceed maximum pressure of 120 psi. The built-in pressure gauge will provide an estimated reading only. Please use a digital pressure gauge for more accuracy pressure information. www.activeproducts.com 4
[ACT 027] Manual E 6/9/05 10:18 PM Page 8 INFLATION INSTRUCTION HIGH-VOLUME AIR INFLATOR The Air Inflator is designed for quick and easy inflation and deflation of high air volume objects such as air mattresses, rafts, inflatable toys and pool toys. BEFORE INFLATING Choose the appropriate inflatable adapter. There are four inflatable adapters and an extension hose provided for high-volume inflation/deflation. The small and medium adapters must be used with the inflatable connector provided. The inflatable connector and large adapter can be directly attached to the inflation air outlet. INFLATING PROCEDURE 1. With power switch in O (off) position, roll out the 12V cord from storage compartment, and connect the 12V car cigarette lighter adapter to the cigarette lighter socket in your car. 2. Insert the appropriate inflatable adapter into inflation outlet. 3. Insert adapter into the air valve of the object to be inflated. 4. Turn the I/O switch to the I position. Operate the air inflator until the desired firmness is reached. 5. Remove adapter from the inflated object valve and close the valve cap. 6. Disconnect the 12V car cigarette lighter adapter from the cigarette lighter socket and store the 12V cord into the compartment area. DEFLATING PROCEDURE 1. With power switch in O (off) position, roll out the 12V cord from storage compartment, and connect the 12V car cigarette lighter adapter to the cigarette lighter socket in your car. 2. Insert the inflatable adapter into deflation outlet. 3. Insert adapter into the valve of the object to be deflated. 4. Turn the I/O switch to the I position. Operate the air inflator until desired deflation is reached. 5. Remove adapter from the deflated object valve. 6. Disconnect the 12V car cigarette lighter adapter from the cigarette lighter socket and store the 12V cord into the compartment area. 5
[ACT 027] Manual E 6/9/05 10:18 PM Page 9 INFLATION INSTRUCTION INFLATION TIPS FOR LARGE OBJECTS The performance of an air inflator depends on air flow rate, size of adapter and the valve of the inflatable object. The smaller the valve and/or adapter used, the lower the air flow rate. Therefore, always buy inflatable objects with the largest possible valves. Typically, air mattresses or large inflatable objects may have two sizes of air valve, always inflate from the largest valve to get maximum performance. CAUTION Do not run the air inflator for continuously for more than 20 minutes. After each 20 minutes, allow it to cool for a minimum of 20 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. www.activeproducts.com 6
[ACT 027] Manual E 6/9/05 10:18 PM Page 10 GENERAL SAFETY MEASURES GENERAL SAFETY MEASURES AND PRECAUTIONS THAT APPLY TO THE USE OF AIR COMPRESSOR/INFLATOR. The following instructions apply to both the air compressor and air inflator. Safe operation of the air compressor and inflator require that you read the instructions and safety precautions carefully and follow all instructions before using the air compressor or inflator. 1. The air compressor and inflator are designed for occasional use. Inflation over a long period will overheat the air compressor or air inflator and may cause damage. 2. The air compressor and inflator must not operate for more than 20 minutes at a time, after which it must be switched off and set aside to cool for at least 20 minutes before restarting. 3.
