Air vents keep the unit from overheating. An ON/OFF switch turns the AC power circuitry on and off. The ON/OFF switch can also be used to reset the AC power after shutdown due to overvoltage, overload or over-temperature condition. The “ON” status indicator lights when the AC power supply is on. The AC outlets (covered when not in use) supply power to AC appliances. AC Power Supply Front Panel AC POWER SUPPLY AC POWER SUPPLY “ON” STATUS ON/OFF SWITCHINDICATOR 120 VOLT AC OUTLETS AIR VENTS AC Power Supply Operation 1. Turn power switch to ON (the power indicator lights). 2. Plug in appliance and turn the appliance on. Note: The AC power supply shuts down automatically when the battery voltage level is too low. If the green LED flashes, a faulty condition such as an overload, overheating or short circuiting has occurred. Turn the AC Power Supply OFFand unplug the appliance. Wait a few minutes, then turn power back ON. 6 USING THE EMERGENCY AREA LIGHT The Area Light is controlled by an ON/OFF pushbutton. Make sure the light is turned OFF when the unit is being recharged or stored. USING THE TIRE INFLATOR Read Instructions Carefully to Avoid Possible Injury or Property Damage. 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 clips on the end of the standard tire valve connector attached to 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 front of the 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 the appropriate nozzle to the air hose. Return the hose to the storage compartment after use. Note: Thermo-protection device shuts down the unit when the unit overheats and restarts once the unit has reached a safe operating temperature. WARNING The inflator is capable of inflating up to 120 pounds per square inch (psi) pressure. To avoid over inflating, carefully follow instructions on articles to be inflated. Never exceed recommended pressures. Always check pressure with the pressure gauge. Never leave the inflator unattended while in use. Bursting articles can cause serious injury. CAUTION Do not operate inflator continuously for extended periods of time (approx. 15 minutes, depending on the ambient temperature), as it may overheat. In such event, inflator will shut down and restart after a cooling period of approximately 15 minutes. Inflating Products With a Valve Stem 1. Place standard connector (chuck) on valve stem. 2. Push connector toward valve stem and close thumb latch. Note: Make sure connector is pushed onto valve stem as far as possible before closing thumb latch. 3. Slide inflator switch to ON. 4. Check pressure with the pressure gauge. 5. When desired pressure is reached, slide the latch and remove connector from valve stem. 6. Store inflator hose and tire fitting in storage 7 VEC027BD_ManualEN_122805 12/28/05 2:37 PM Page 8 Inflating Products Without a Valve Stem Inflation of other items requires use of one of the adapters (nozzles). 1. Insert appropriate adapter (e.g. needle) into connector (chuck) and close thumb latch. 2. Insert adapter (e.g. needle) into item to inflate. 3. Slide inflator switch to ON. 4. Refer to the following table for approximate filling pressure and time. Small items such as volleyballs, footballs, etc. inflate very rapidly. 5. Slide inflator switch to OFF. 6. Remove adapter from item and store properly. Typical Inflation Times Inflation pressure (psi) Approx.
