reference to the air pressure gauge on thecompressor. If you overinflate the tire, release air by loosening the hose’s end fit- ting.If there is a gap between the tire and wheel because the ti

from the wheel rim, press the tire treadtowards the wheel to close the gap before running the compressor. (With no gaps, the tire pressure will rise.)

CAUTION The surface of the compressor will get hot while the compressor is running. Do not keep the compressor running continuouslyfor more than 10 minutes. After using the compressor, wait for the compressor to cool before using it again. If the compressor becomes sluggish or hot while operating, it is
overheating. Immedi-
ately place the switch in the OFF position and let the compressor c
ool down for at least
30 minutes.NOTE
