TO INFLATE TIRES:
1.
Unwind 12 Volt power cord. See #6 in figure 1, page 3.
2.
Make certain the inflator power button is in the off position. See #1 in figure 1.
3.
Set emergency brake and start vehicle engine. See "Warning: Vehicle Exhaust Without Proper
Ventilation", page 4.
4.
Plug inflator lighter plug into vehicle 12 Volt cigarette lighter socket.
5.
Check manufacturer's recommended tire pressure specifications indicated on the tire sidewall.
6.
Attach the air hose nozzle to vehicle tire valve stem by threading the nozzle onto the stem clock-
wise until secure. See #4 in figure 1. Do not turn inflator on.
NOTE: When the nozzle is connected correctly, wait 5-7 seconds and the gauge will indicate the
current tire pressure. Always follow the manufacturer's inflation pressure recommendations to
avoid over-inflation. The pressure gauge on the inflator is for reference only and is therefore not
binding for exact values. While inflating, the gauge is a measurement of the fluctuating pressure
between the tire and the high pressure hose. To reduce the risk of over-inflation, use a reliable
pressure gauge periodically during inflation before driving a vehicle inflated with the inflator.
7.
Push the inflator power button to turn on inflator. See #1 in figure 1. The INFLATION STATION™
500 will now inflate your tire. Carefully monitor the pressure gauge to avoid over-inflation. See #2
in figure 1.
8.
Once the desired pressure has been reached, stop the inflator by pushing the inflator power but-
ton to the off position. See #1 in figure 1.
9.
Wait several moments as air hose and nozzle may naturally heat during inflation. Then, remove air
hose nozzle from vehicle tire valve stem by turning air hose nozzle counterclockwise.
10.
Unplug inflator from vehicle 12 Volt cigarette lighter socket.
11.
Turn off vehicle.
TO INFLATE SPORTS BALLS AND OTHER HIGH PRESSURE SMALL INFLATABLES:
1.
Unwind 12 Volt power cord. See #6 in figure 1, page 3.
2.
Select one of the small adapter needles provided in the storage compartment. See figure 2, page
3.
3.
Attach the adapter needle to the air hose nozzle (see #4 in figure 1) by turning the adapter needle
clockwise.
4.
Check manufacturer's recommended pressure specifications for inflatable.
5.
Insert adapter needle into inflatable.
6.
Make certain the inflator power button is in the off position. See #1 in figure 1.
7.
Set emergency brake and start vehicle engine. See "Warning: Vehicle Exhaust Without Proper
Ventilation", page 4.
8.
Plug inflator lighter plug into vehicle 12 Volt cigarette lighter socket.
NOTE: When the nozzle is connected correctly, wait 5-7 seconds and the gauge will indicate the
current inflatable item's pressure. Always follow the manufacturer's inflation pressure recom-
mendations to avoid over-inflation. The pressure gauge on the inflator is for reference only and
is therefore not binding for exact values. While inflating, the gauge is a measurement of the
fluctuating pressure between the inflatable item and the high pressure hose. When inflating items
requiring 10 PSI or less, inflate in short bursts and check by feel or by a reliable measuring device to
determine accurate pressure.
