To use your air inflator system, the engine must be
running or the ignition key in ACCESSORY. Attach the
appropriate nozzle adapter, if required, to the end of the
hose that has the pressure gage. Then attach that end of
the hose to the object you wish to inflate. Remove the
protective cap covering the outlet. Attach the other end
of the hose to the outlet. Press the ON switch.If the air inflator system does not turn on, the fuse may
be blown or installed incorrectly. See ªFuses and Circuit
Breakersº in the Index or see your dealer for service.
Your air inflator will automatically shut off after about
10 minutes. To reset, press the ON switch again.
Don't run your air inflator for longer than 30 minutes at
one time. If you do, you may damage the system. After
30 minutes, wait at least 10 minutes before restarting the
air inflator.
To turn off the inflator, press OFF and detach the hose,
first from the inflated object, then from the outlet.
Replace the protective cap. Place the inflator kit tools in
the pouch, and store in the glove box.
To replace the cover, line up the tabs at the back of the
cover and put it in place. Push down the tab to secure
the cover.
