compressor.
3.Attach the air hose to the valve and press
the lever down to secure it in place.
4.Ensure the compressor is lying on a level
surface with the pressure gauge facing to
the side where you can read it.
5.To add air, turn on the compressor and
inflate until the desired pressure is reached.
6.To release air, turn off the compressor, then
press and hold the red button until the
desired pressure is reached.NOTE: For your convenience, the tire repair kit
includes a selection of adapters that allow you
to inflate other items. These adapters are
located in a compartment on the back of the

compressor to cool for 15 minutes
between uses.
