6.2 Tyre inflation
oConnect the hose for tyre inflation to the compressor using the ¼” BSPT port with a quick-connect
fitting (supplied in TJM Airline Kit).
oSwitch on the compressor from the actuator switch.
oThe compressor will pressurize to 120 PSI and then automatically switch off.
oConnect the tyre chuck to the tyre valve to inflate. The compressor with automatically restart to
supply air once the tyre is connected.
oCheck desired pressure is reached using a tyre pressure gauge. Note: measure the pressure with no
air-flow to the tyre for accurate reading.
oAfter use switch off the compressor.
6.3 Safety information
oThe compressor will become very hot during use. Do not touch the working end of the compressor
during or immediately after use. Wear gloves when changing the hose connection.
oAlways ensure air pressure in the compressor is discharged before installing hoses and fittings or
undertaking maintenance.
oDo not operate the unit without the safety relief valve installed.
oNever blow compressed air directly at people or pets. Compressed air can blow dirt particles into
the atmosphere which can irritate the skin, eyes and/or respiratory system.
oDo not use the compressor without mounting to a solid surface.
6.4 Operation Guide
oThe compressor is designed for individual use, not for commercial or industrial applications.
oThe compressor is fitted with a thermal cut-off switch. This switch protects the motor from
overheating. If the compressor cuts-out, turn off the power switch and allow the compressor to
cool for at least 45 minutes before attempting to restart.
oThe compressor duty cycle is rated at 23°C. Higher ambient temperature will reduce the duty cycle.
oThe duty cycle is rated over a 60-minute operating period. The compressor is not rated to run
continuously beyond the specified duty cycle.
oTJM recommends using the compressor while the vehicle engine is running.
oDischarged air will contain moisture due to air humidity. When using the compressor in conjunction
with an on-board air tank, TJM recommends installing a moisture trap before the air tank inlet
and/or fitting the air tank with a drain valve.
oThe compressor is fitted with a safety relief valve, set at factory to 155 PSI. The valve can also be
manually opened to discharge air pressure by pulling on the ring at the top of the valve.
