4. Periodically press the Battery Charge Level Pushbutton to check battery status.
USING THE EMERGENCY 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.
USING THE PORTABLE INFLATOR
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.
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.
WARNINGS
The inflator is capable of inflating up to 260 pounds per square inch
(psi) pressure. To avoid over-inflation, carefully follow instructions
on articles to be inflated. Never exceed recommended pressures.
Bursting articles can cause serious injury.
Always check pressure with the pressure gauge.
Never leave the inflator unattended while in use.
CAUTION
Do not operate inflator continuously for extended periods of time
