Operating the compressor above 300
kPa (3.1 kgf/cm2, 3 bar, 43.5 psi) is
dangerous. When the inflation
pressure rises above 300 kPa (3.1
kgf/cm2, 3 bar, 43.5 psi), heated air
will be exhausted from the back of the
compressor and you could be burned.
CAUTION
If the compressor operates slowly or
becomes hot, it indicates overheating.
Turn the compressor off immediately
and leave it turned off for 30 minutes or
longer.
