SAFETY PRECAUTIONS:
1. Always inflate tires to manufacturer’s recommended tire pressures. Exercise extreme caution
when driving with aired-down tires.
2. Never exceed 20 M.P.H. when driving with partially inflated tires.
3. Never make sharp turns while driving with reduced tire pressure.
4. Re-inflate tires before high speed traveling onto roadways.
5. Only use heat-resistant, minimum 200 PSI-rated working pressure extension hose.
Some aftermarket hoses may not be suitable for use with this air compressor due to
heat and pressure typically generated by this type of air compressors.
6. Use of a close-ended tire chuck will cause excessive pressure buildup if the tire chuck is
not attached to tire valve stem while air compressor is in operation.
IMPORTANT: Always use an Open-Ended tirechuck such as the tire chuck equipped on the
Inflator/Deflator Coil Hose for tire inflation.
CAUTION: Never touch the air compressor or fittings connected to the air compressor other than
the ON/OFF switch with bare hands during or immediately after use. The extension hose and fittings
connected extension hose will become very HOT during and after use. If necessary, wear heat
resistant gloves to remove hose from the compressor quick connect stud.
