The compressor on/off switch controls operation of the compressor. It can be
conveniently depressed and released to control inflation. An exact pressure is obtained
by observing the gauge and releasing the trigger when the correct pressure is
achieved. For longer inflation operations, the trigger lock can be moved laterally to
lock the trigger in the ON position. Pushing the trigger lock to the opposite direction
releases the trigger and stops inflation.

1. INTRODUCTION
Congratulations on selecting the Vector AirPro™ Model VEC259 Compressor/Inflator
and Lantern Light combo. This system is an advanced, high-pressure (up to 260 PSI),
multi-use air compressor system with unique features that set it far above the value and
utility of ordinary compressors for mobile use. It is supplied with a standard tire valve
chuck for filling auto, truck, bike, and motorcycle tires. Additionally, two different
adapters are supplied to inflate soccer balls, footballs, and popular inflatables. These
adapters are conveniently stored in a hatch in the compressor body. It is powered
from its own snap-on/off powerful battery, to be used anywhere it is needed. It can
also operate from a standard 12 volt DC electrical system found on: trucks, cars, boats,
airplanes, RVs and tractors, using the supplied DC power adapter. A supplied stan-
dard 120 volt AC charger recharges the battery when required. Typically, up to three
completely flat tires can be inflated before the battery pack has to be recharged.
The inflator and light share the battery pack and DC power adapter. The inflator
is used to inflate and deflate air beds, balls, rafts, etc. The lantern is versatile and
provides a spotlight, fluorescent area light, and emergency flasher.
Extra battery packs can be purchased, if completely cordless operation is required
(part VEC194). Operating these appliances with the DC power adapter is ideal for
use with Vector 12 volt DC cordless, portable, rechargeable DC power supplies, if
extended operating time in the field is required.
