6. When desired pressure is reached, open thumb latch and remove connector
from valve stem.
1. Lift up the cover of the unit ‘s 12 volt DC outlet.
2. Insert the 12 volt DC plug from the appliance into the 12 volt DC accessory
outlet on the unit. DO N O T EXCEED A 5 AMP LO AD.
7. Turn OFF Inflator Power Switch.
8. Allow unit to cool before storing away.
9. Store inflator hose and tire fitting in storage compartment.
3. Switch on the appliance and operate as usual.
4. Periodically press the Battery Charge Level Pushbutton to check battery status.

Inflation of other items requires use of one of the adapters (nozzles).
1. Select the appropriate nozzle, located on the inside back cover.
USIN G THE EMERGEN CY AREA LIGHT
The area light is controlled by the Area Light Power Switch on the front panel of the
unit (see Control and Function Guide). Make sure the lamp is turned OFF when the
unit is being recharged or stored.
2. Insert appropriate adapter (i.e. needle) into connector (chuck) and close thumb
latch.
3. Refer to “Typical Inflation Times” for approximate pressure and time. Small
items such as volleyballs, footballs, etc. inflate very rapidly.
USIN G THE PO RTABLE IN FLATO R
4. Insert adapter (i.e., needle) into item to inflate to appropriate pressure.
5. Turn ON the Inflator Power Switch — inflate to desired pressure or fullness.
6. Remove adapter.
The built-in 12 volt DC inflator is the ultimate inflator for all vehicle tires, trailer tires
and recreational inflatables. Three different sized nozzles are supplied. Each nozzle
will clip on the end of the standard tire valve connector located at the free end of
the inflator hose. The inflator hose with tire fitting is stored in a retaining channel
between the jumper cable channels on the rear of the unit. The ON/ OFF Switch is
located on the back of the Main Unit. The inflator can operate long enough to fill
up to 3 average sized tires before the battery must be recharged.
7. Switch the Inflator Power Switch OFF.
8. Recharge the unit before storing away.
USIN G THE USB PO W ER PO RT
The inflator may be used by removing the air hose from the storage hatch and if
required, fitting an appropriate nozzle to the air hose. An On/ Off switch located
on the back of the unit controls the power to the inflator and the gauge light. Refer
to the Control and Function Guide for location of the inflator hose. Return hose to
the storage compartment after use.
Push the USB Power Switch to the ON position and plug the USB-powered device into
the jump-starter’s USB Power Port and operate normally. The green USB LED Indicator
lights up to indicate that it is working.
