The inflator can be stopped at any time by pressing the stop button (OFF).
NOTE
The inflator is equipped with a plug for the car cigarette lighter and also with an adapter with crocodile
clips for the direct connection to the 12 Vdc battery.
WARNING
In case crocodile clips are used, make sure of the correct polarity (red clamp connected to
battery positive terminal).
Otherwise the inflator will not start.
WARNING
Do not run the inflator for more than 20 minutes and then let the unit cool down for 10
minutes before using it again.
WARNING
When the device is under pressure, never turn the pressure knob or the pressure gauge
ring counter-clockwise. This would cause the immediate breakage of the instrument.
WARNING
Take into account the maximum inflating pressure suitable to the object to be inflated.
Always set the maximum recommended pressure using the pressure knob or the pressure
gauge ring. Do not over inflate.
WARNING
Protect from sand, keeping the inflator inside the supplied bag: any sand entering the
inflator can cause it to jam.
8.2 BATTERY STATUS LIGHT INDICATOR
The brightness intensity of the LED, located under the pressure gauge ring, defines the battery level
status. Full brightness of the LED indicates a charged battery. An off LED indicates a low battery.
