If your Husky Power Tool doesn't start, first ensure the power cord is properly plugged into a working 12-Volt DC power outlet. If it still fails to start, the 15-Amp fuse in the 12-Volt DC power cord might be blown and needs replacing.
Why Husky H12N will not start?
Your Husky Power Tool might not be starting because the cord isn't plugged in. Make sure to plug the cord into a working 12-Volt DC power outlet. Alternatively, the 15-Amp fuse in the 12-Volt DC power cord may have blown, requiring a replacement.

This document describes the Husky 12-Volt Inflator, Model #H12N, an essential tool for inflating various items. The manual provides comprehensive instructions on its use, maintenance, and safety precautions, ensuring users can operate the device effectively and safely.
The Husky 12-Volt Inflator is designed to inflate a wide range of items, including vehicle tires (cars, SUVs, bicycles, ATVs), sports equipment, air mattresses, and beach toys. It operates on a 12-Volt DC power source, typically a vehicle's power outlet. The inflator features a backlit digital pressure gauge for accurate pressure readings and a target PSI setting capability, allowing users to pre-set the desired inflation level. Once the target PSI is reached, the inflator automatically shuts off, preventing over-inflation and ensuring safety. A built-in LED worklight enhances visibility in low-light conditions, making it convenient for nighttime or emergency use. The device is portable and includes integrated storage for its air hose, power cord, and various accessories, promoting organization and ease of transport.
Operating the Husky 12-Volt Inflator involves a straightforward process. Before use, it's crucial to ensure the work area is clean, well-lit, and free from flammable liquids, gases, or dust. The inflator should only be used with a 12-Volt DC power source, and the vehicle's engine is recommended to be running to maintain a full battery charge and optimize inflator performance. However, it can also be operated with the engine off, though a low vehicle battery might affect performance. If the vehicle engine is running, ensure the vehicle is in a well-ventilated area to prevent asphyxiation.
To inflate tires, first, place the inflator on a flat surface. Plug the 12-Volt power cord into a DC 12-Volt power outlet, ensuring a secure connection to prevent arcing or sparking. A loose connection can damage both the inflator and the vehicle's power outlet, and potentially blow the inflator's 15-Amp fuse. Next, connect the quick connect valve adapter to the tire's air valve by pushing the valve lever down until it's securely attached. Users then set the target PSI using the increase (+) or decrease (-) buttons. The digital display will flash the set target PSI three times before showing the current air pressure. Once the target PSI is set, press the Start/Stop button to begin inflation. The inflator will automatically stop when the desired pressure is reached. After inflation, remove the air hose by lifting the valve adapter lever and unplug the power cord from the 12-Volt outlet. Allow the inflator to cool for 10 minutes after each 10 minutes of continuous operation.
For inflating toys and air mattresses, the process is similar but requires selecting the appropriate inflation accessory (mattress nozzle, sports needle, or Presta valve adapter). These accessories are inserted into the quick connect valve adapter, ensuring they are flush to prevent airflow blockage. Once the accessory is attached and the power cord is plugged in, the item can be inflated. It's important to follow the manufacturer's instructions for the item being inflated to avoid over-inflation. The LED worklight can be turned on or off with a dedicated button, providing illumination when needed. The inflator is not a toy and should be kept away from children. It should also not be carried by the air hose or power cord to prevent damage.
Proper maintenance of the Husky 12-Volt Inflator ensures its longevity and reliable performance. Regular cleaning is essential; the inflator should be wiped with a non-abrasive, slightly damp cloth as needed. Plastic parts can be cleaned with mild soap and warm water. It's crucial to keep the inflator in a clean, dry, and well-ventilated area. The ventilation openings on the inflator's housing are vital for proper cooling during operation and should never be obstructed by rags or other materials.
The inflator includes an in-line 15-Amp fuse within the 12-Volt DC power cord, which protects the device from electrical surges. If the unit fails to start, the fuse should be checked. To do this, lift the cover on the 12-Volt plug, remove the fuse, and examine it for any separation, breakage, or discoloration of the metal link, which indicates a blown fuse. A spare 15-Amp automotive spade fuse (ATO 15-Amp) is included with the inflator for replacement. When replacing the fuse, press it firmly into place and then secure the cover. Any other servicing beyond basic cleaning and fuse replacement should be performed by an authorized service representative to avoid damaging the device or voiding the warranty. The inflator comes with a 2-year warranty covering defects in material or workmanship, allowing for return to any Home Depot store for disposition.
