2. Release the black air hose from the 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 tothe 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.

the compressor continuously for more

off and allow it to cool.Temporary Tire Repair

straps, place a 2" x 4" piece of wood
between the tow straps and the
underbody.

between the tow strap and the
underbody to ensure the underbody is
protected from any damage that could be caused by the tow strap.If equipped with a towing eye:
