Installation Instructions
Air Compressor
Part # 2780, 2781
We recommend that you use a second tire pressure gauge to verify your tires are inflated to the proper
pressure.
Stopping and restarting: at high pressure can overload and blow the in-line fuse (Part #2780). At higher
inflation pressures, start the compressor and then attach to the filler to the tire valve stem. If you stop the unit
and need to resume inflation, remove the inflator tip from the tire valve, start the unit and reattach with the
unit running.
Allow the compressor to cool and place neatly in the carry bag with the clips securely fastened to the loops
on the carry bag. To prevent damage to the unit during storage repack in the original styrofoam and color
box.
Store the unit in a dry location.
Remember to replace the valve cover on the stem.
Operating Hints
Turn the compressor on before connecting to the tire in order to reduce stress on the motor.
We recommend an on / off cycle time of 20 minutes rest / off for every 40 minutes of run time
To prevent damage to the air hose fitting, remove the inflator from the tire before disconnecting the hose
from the compressor.
Trouble shooting
If the compressor stops during operation:
1. Check the battery condition. Low voltage can trip the circuit breaker or trigger the protection feature.
2. Check the circuit breaker reset if necessary.
3. The compressor is equipped with an automatic protection device. In the event the unit reaches an unsafe
operating temperature, a protection circuit will cut power to prevent damage to the compressor. If the
protection circuit activates, immediately disconnect the unit from the power source and allow it to cool.
Resetting Circuit Breaker: (Part #2781)
The circuit breaker is located next to the on / off switch on the top of the rear housing. During normal
operation it remains in the down position almost even with the base. In the event of and overload it will pop-
up. If this happens, turn the power switch to off, disconnect the air hose and power cord. Push the breaker
down to reset and resume operation.
