494852-00 AS1300 inflator etc
INTRODUCTION
Your Inflator is designed to be used in and around the home using its 120 volt cord or in
most vehicles with a standard 12 volt socket using its 12 volt adaptor cord. As with any
battery operated appliance, when the Inflator is used in 12 volt mode, performance will
vary directly with the battery's state of charge. Naturally, the higher the current drawn by
the Inflator, the more the battery power will be decreased.
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING:
Risk of Bursting. Too much air pressure causes a hazardous risk of
bursting. Check the manufacturer's maximum pressure rating for objects being inflated.
VALVE ADAPTOR
• To operate the valve adaptor, position the lever
straight up (figure A1). Note: Always leave lever up
when not in use.
• Push the valve adaptor down over the threaded
section of the valve stem, or one of the three
accessories provided with your Inflator (figure A2).
• When the adaptor is down all the way over the
threads, press the lever down with your finger to
lock it in place. (figure A3)
• To release the adaptor, lift the lever straight up
and pull the adaptor off.
• Operate your Inflator only with the nozzles
included or with standard tire valves.
• Make sure that the universal valve adaptor is
firmly locked in place before turning the Inflator on
(figure A4).
NOTE: Many inflatable, especially air mattresses,
have an internal flap that prevents air loss during inflation.
Unless this flap is displaced by the nozzle the mattress will not
inflate. Push the nozzle firmly into the valve to ensure that you
push this flap out of the way.
PRESSURE GAUGE
Your Inflator is equipped with a built-in pressure gauge that will
automatically shut off when a predetermined air pressure is
reached. The gauge, which is located on the top of the Inflator,
will give a pressure reading in P.S.I. (pounds per square inch)
as well as in kilopascals (newtons per square meter). In the
case of vehicle tires, it is recommended that the pressure
reading be verified by checking with a separate tire gauge.
To use the automatic shut off feature:
WARNING: Do not leave inflator running unattended. It could burst tires or other items.
(Maximum pressure - 160 p.s.i.)
• Turn the ring on the pressure gauge (figure B) until the pointer is aligned with the desired
pressure.
• When the Inflator reaches the desired pressure, it will automatically shut off.
• To obtain an accurate pressure measurement, turn the Inflator OFF when reading the
gauge. The gauge has an accuracy of + or - 3 % at any pressure reading.
ACCESSORY USAGE
• Place the universal valve adapter over the stem of the inflation
needle or tapered nozzle.
• Press lever on universal valve adapter down to lock in place.
• Place inflation needle or tapered nozzle into object to be inflated.
NOTE: The extension and standard tapered nozzles and the needle
inflator nozzle shown in figure C are provided with your Inflator.
Store the inflation needle inside one of the tapered nozzles and
snap tapered nozzles into the storage slots located on the bottom
of the Inflator. (figure C).
