CAUTIONS
Note
Please read carefully and SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS FOR FUTURE REFERENCE. Misuse may lead to product damage and physical injury.
Precautions
- Do not disassemble, repair, or modify the appliance by yourself.
- Keep the appliance out of the reach of children and pets. Close supervision is necessary when the appliance is used around children.
- Keep the appliance away from fire, flammable gases, liquids, and strong magnetic fields. Or it may increase the risk of fire and burst.
- This product contains small accessories which might cause suffocation of children.
- The appliance applies to cars with tire pressure <50 psi and tire width < 245mm. It does not apply to large vehicles like trucks, vans, or off-road vehicles.
Safety Instructions
- Do not use this appliance in the rain, snow, or where there are liquids.
- Do not use the appliance if it is damaged or the cable is broken, it might cause electric shock.
- Check if the nozzle and preset pressure are suitable for the inflatable before inflation, or it may impose a hazard.
- Use the accessories included in the package ONLY.
- Normally, the air hose and the cigarette lighter may get hot during and after use. Avoid long-time physical contact with these parts.
- It is recommended that the continuous working time of this appliance should be less than 10
minutes. Let it cool down for 10 minutes between every 8 to 10 minutes of use. - Please do not over-inflate, or personal injury might be triggered due to high pressure.
- Please do not pull the cable or the hose violently.
- Experiments show that the gas of the car tire will escape when the air nozzle has been removed, leading to a decrease of 0.5-2.0 PSI in tire pressure. VacLife considers this case, so we made a unique design that the tire pressure would exceed 0.5-2.0 PSI over the preset pressure. This allows it to achieve proper tire pressure after the removal of the air nozzle.
Storage and Cleaning
- Let it cool down before storage.
- Please keep the appliance in a dry and cool place when not used for a long time.
- Do not use chemical detergent to clean the appliance. Use mild soap and a damp cloth to wipe the body only.
