USER MANUAL

400P-RV AUTOMATIC PORTABLE COMPRESSOR

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS:

Pleasereadandfollowtheoperatinginstructionscarefullytoassurethatyouwillenjoythe

convenienceandbestuseoutofyouraircompressor.

1.AlwaysoperatethecompressorATORBELOWTHEMAXIMUMPRESSURERATINGofthe

 compressor.RefertoSpecicationssectionofthismanual.

2.AlwaysOBSERVETHEMAXIMUMDUTYCYCLEoftheaircompressor.RefertoSpecications

 sectionofthismanualfordetails.Operationsexceedingmaximumpressureratingsandorduty

 cyclewillresultindamagetoaircompressor.

3.YouraircompressorisequippedwithanAUTOMATICTHERMALOVERLOADPROTECTOR.

 Thisfeatureisdesignedtoprotecttheaircompressorfromover-heatingandcausingpermanent

 damagetoyouraircompressor.Thethermaloverloadprotectorwillautomaticallycutopower

 toaircompressorshouldinternaloperatingtemperatureoftheaircompressorriseabovesafe

 levelsduringexcessiveuse.

4.Shouldyourcompressorshutosuddenlyafterextendeduse,donotattempttorestartair

 compressor.TurnON/OFFswitchofaircompressortotheOFFposition.Theautomaticthermal

 overloadprotectorwillautomaticallyresetwheninternaltemperatureoftheaircompressordrops

 belowsafelevel.Afterallowingaircompressortocooloforabout30minutes,youcansafely

 resumeuseoftheaircompressorbyturningontheaircompressor.

5.Foryourconvenience,andtoprotecttheaircompressorfromover-pressureoperationthatcan

 causepermanentdamagetotheunit-thiscompressorisequippedwithbuilt-inpressureswitch

 withafactorysetcut-onpressureof130PSI(±5%)andafactorysetcut-opressureof

 155PSI(±5%).Duringinationoftirepressuresbetween130PSIto155PSI,ifyoustopination,

 thecompressormaynotrestart.Thisiscompletelynormal,sinceinlinepressureisgreaterthan

 cut-onpressureofthepressureswitchandlessthancut-opressureofthepressureswitch.

 Torestartcompressor,deatetirepressuretobelow130PSI,reconnecttirechucktotirevalve

 stemandresumetireination.

6.Pleasenotethatyoumayexperienceaslightdelayofthecompressor’smotorstartingwhenthe

 ON/OFFswitchisturnedonwhilecompressorispressurized(whenthereispressureintheline

 thatthecompressorisconnectedto).Thisisanormaldelayedreaction,notaCompressor

 ON/OFFswitchmalfunction.

7.Itisstronglyrecommendedthatyoukeepthevehicle’senginerunningwhileusingtheair

 compressortopreventdischargeofyourvehicle’sbattery.

8.ONLYOPERATETHEAIRCOMPRESSORINWELLVENTILATEDAREAS.

 Compressorperformanceisenhancedwhenoperatingcompressorwithvehicleenginerunning.

IMPORTANT:Enginemustberunningwhileusingthiscompressor.

Beforeattachingaircompressorpowerclampstoyourvehicle’sbatteryterminals,checktomake

surethattheON\/OFFswitchofyourcompressorisintheOFFposition.AttachthePositive(+)

batteryclamp(Red)tothePositiveterminalofthebatteryandtheNegative(-)batteryclamp(Black)

totheNegativeterminalofthebattery.Alwayskeepyourvehicle’senginerunningwhileoperating

compressortoavoiddrainingyourvehicle’sbattery.

CAUTION:YourPortableAirCompressorisMoistureandDustResistant,butNOTWATERORDUST

PROOF.Neverplacecompressorinsoftsandwhilerunningthecompressor.Vibrationfromthe

compressorwillcausethecompressortosettleintosoftsand,resultingincompressordrawingin

foreignparticles.Neverexposecompressortowaterwhilerunningthecompressor.

USER MANUAL

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS (cont’d):

This air compressor comes with 1/4” quick connect stud. A primary coil hose, an extension

coil hose and a tire ination gun are also included with your compressor. Both ends of the

primary hose are equipped with 1/4” quick connect couplers. The rubber overmold end should

be connected to the compressor itself. One end of the extension coil hose is equipped with a

1/4” quick connect coupler, and the other end with a quick connect stud. The extension hose

is used to elongate overall reach. The tire ination gun comes with a 1/4” quick connect

stud, pressure gauge, rubber hose, bleeder valve and tire chuck. Attach one end of the

extension coil hose to the stud on your compressor and the other end to the stud on the tire

gun kit. The tire gun kit can be used for both airing up and airing down. Please familiarize

yourself with the following functions of this versatile air tool:

TIRE INFLATION:

1.Attachoneendoftheextensioncoilhosetothecompressorandtheotherendtothetiregunkit,

 45-degreeangledchuckor90-degreetwist-onchuck–dependingonneed.

2.Turncompressorswitchonandholddownthetriggeronthetiregunkittobeginination.

3.Whendesiredpressureisreached,releasethetrigger.Ifnishedwithuse,turnpowerswitchon

 compressoroposition.

NOTE:Toreleaseexcesspressure,turnocompressoranddisconnecthosefromcompressor.

Withthetireinationgunstillconnectedtotheotherendofthecoilhose,pulltriggeronthetire

inationguntoreleaseexcesspressure.

CAUTION:Toavoidoverination,neverexceedrecommendedpressureonarticlestobeinated.

Burstingcancauseseriousinjury.

NOTE:Youraircompressorisequippedwithapressureswitch(cutonat130PSI,cutoat

155PSI).Thisfeatureisdesignedtoprotecttheaircompressorfromover-pressurecausing

permanentdamagetoyouraircompressor.Thepressureswitchautomaticallyturnsothemotor

whentheinternalpressureoftheaircompressorreachesthefactoryset“cut-o”pressureof

155PSIandrestartswhentheinternalpressuredropsbelow130PSI.

TIRE DEFLATION:

1.Withtheinationoptionofyourchoicestillconnectedtothetireinationgun,pressthe

 bleedervalvebuttononthetiregunkittodecreasetirepressure.

2.Whendesiredpressureisreached,releasethebleedervalvebuttontostoptiredeation.

IMPORTANT:Makesurecompressorsitsuprightwhileoperatingcompressor.Donotoperate

compressorinanyotherposition.Avoidtuggingatcompressortomoveit.Instead,move

compressortothesamesideofvehicleastiresthatarebeingairedup.

AlwaysmakesurethePortableCompressor’spowercordisuncoiledandfullyextended

whenusingyouraircompressortoavoidoverheatingthepowercord.

INLINE PRESSURE GAUGE:

1.Thepressuregaugeontheinationgunprovidesconvenienttirepressuremonitoringwhenairing

 upordown(notairowofthecompressor).Thiseliminatesswitchingbackandforthbetweena

 tirechuckandatirepressuregauge.

2.Pleasenotethatduringinationanddeation,duetoairvelocity,pressuregaugecannotprovide

 accuratepressurereadings.Releaseleveronthetireinationgunduringinationtocheck

tire air pressure.

NOTE:Toreleaseexcesspressure,turnocompressoranddisconnecthosefromcompressor.

Withthetireinationgunstillconnectedtotheotherendofthecoilhose,pulltriggeronthetire

inationguntoreleaseexcesspressure.
