service.
Operation
To Fill Air Tank:
Take this tank to a source of
clean, dry, compressed air. (Full
service gas station, truck stop,
etc. or any low pressure air
compressor available.) The
recommended fill pressure is
Use air chuck from the
air source to connect with
filler valve. Watch pressure
gauge and make sure
maximum air pressure does
3. Open air shut-off valve
(clockwise) to allow air to
flow into air hose.
To Inflate Tires
Connect the tire chuck to
tire valve, and inflate the
tire until tire pressure meets
manufacturer recommended
pressure.
Warning: The pressure gauge
on the tank does not indicate
the pressure in the object being
filled. Use a separate gauge to
check the object being inflated.
