The MotoMaster Dual Power Air Compressor, model no. 009-5097-2, is a versatile and essential tool designed for inflating a variety of items, including car tires, bike tires, ATV tires, sports equipment, and other small inflatable objects. This instruction manual provides comprehensive safety, operation, maintenance, and troubleshooting information to ensure safe, efficient, and trouble-free use.
Function Description:
The MotoMaster Dual Power Air Compressor is engineered to provide convenient and reliable inflation using two power methods: 12V DC and 120V AC. This dual-power capability offers flexibility, allowing users to operate the compressor from a vehicle's 12V DC power outlet or a standard 120V AC household outlet. The unit features a digital pressure gauge for precise inflation, allowing users to set a desired PSI level. Once the preset PSI is reached, the compressor automatically shuts off, preventing overinflation and ensuring accuracy. It is equipped with a quick-connect valve adaptor, Presta valve adaptor, sports needle, and mattress nozzle to accommodate various inflation needs. The compressor is designed for portability with a carrying handle and integrated storage compartments for its power cords and accessories, making it easy to transport and store.
Important Technical Specifications:
- Model Number: 009-5097-2
- Voltage/Hertz/Phase/Current (AC): 120V/60Hz/1/1.5A
- Maximum Working Pressure: 120 PSI
- Voltage (DC): 12V (For use with 12V DC power outlet only)
- Power Requirement (DC): 12V
- Digital Pressure Gauge Range: 3 to 120 PSI
- Fuse Protection (DC): AGC – 10A replacement fuse (located in the 12V power plug tip)
- Extension Cord Recommendation (AC): For lengths less than 6' (1.8 m), 18 AWG extension cords should be used.
Usage Features:
- Dual Power Capability: Operates on both 12V DC (from a vehicle's power outlet) and 120V AC (from a standard wall outlet), providing versatile power options.
- Digital Pressure Gauge: Features an LCD readout that displays the current pressure of the item being inflated.
- Preset PSI Function: Allows users to set a desired PSI level (between 3 and 120 PSI). The compressor automatically stops once the target pressure is reached, preventing overinflation.
- Automatic Shut-off: The compressor automatically shuts off when the preset PSI level is achieved, enhancing safety and convenience.
- Run/Pause Power Switch: Enables users to start and stop the inflation process manually.
- Quick-Connect Valve Adaptor: Ensures a secure connection to the item being inflated.
- Accessory Compartment: Integrated storage for the 12V DC power cord, 120V AC power cord, and various adaptors (Presta valve adaptor, sports needle, mattress nozzle).
- Carrying Handle: Facilitates easy transport of the unit.
- Power Selector Switch: Allows users to easily switch between 12V DC and 120V AC operating modes.
- Tolerance: The inflator has a tolerance of + or – 2 PSI, ensuring accurate inflation within a small margin.
- Engine Running Recommendation (DC Mode): For best results and more efficient power, it is recommended to operate the air compressor with the vehicle's engine running when using the 12V DC power method.
- Polarized Plug (AC Mode): The 120V AC plug is polarized (one blade wider than the other) for safety.
- Double-Insulated Product: The 120V AC power method uses a double-insulated design, providing two systems of insulation instead of grounding, which requires extreme care and knowledge for servicing.
Maintenance Features:
- Cleaning: Plastic parts should be wiped clean with mild soap and warm water. It is crucial to prevent moisture or water from entering the interior moving parts.
- Storage: When not in use, the tool should be stored in a clean, dry environment to prevent rust. Always keep the tool out of the reach of children.
- Cord Management: Unplug the cord and disconnect from the power supply when the tool is not in use.
- Cool-down Period: Allow the air compressor to cool down for 10 minutes after each 10 minutes of continuous operation to prevent overheating and prolong its lifespan.
- Fuse Replacement (DC Mode): The unit is equipped with fuse protection. If the compressor fails to operate in 12V DC mode, the fuse in the 12V power plug tip can be replaced. Only an AGC – 10A replacement fuse should be used.
- Work Area: Maintain a clean and well-lit work area. Avoid damp or wet locations and exposure to rain.
- Vehicle's 12V Power Outlet: Ensure the vehicle's 12V power outlet is free of ash residue or debris, as a dirty outlet can cause overheating and potential damage.
The manual emphasizes several critical safety precautions:
- General Safety: Always use common sense and pay attention during operation. Use the compressor only for its intended purpose. Read and understand all instructions before use.
- Children and Bystanders: Keep children and bystanders away from the work area.
- Explosive Atmospheres: DO NOT use the tool in explosive atmospheres or in the presence of flammable liquids, gases, or dust.
- Ventilation: Always operate the air compressor in an open, well-ventilated area, not inside confined spaces like garages, to prevent bodily injury or asphyxiation.
- Power Source: DO NOT attempt to operate the compressor with any other source or voltage than DC 12V or AC 120V. DO NOT rewire or reconfigure the compressor from its original design.
- Protective Equipment: Wear suitable protective equipment, including gloves, hard hat, ANSI-approved earplugs, electrically non-conductive clothes, non-skid footwear, safety glasses with side shields (ANSI Z87.1 compliant), and a full face shield or ANSI-approved dust mask/respirator if working with metal filings, wood chips, or chemical dusts/mists.
- Overinflation: DO NOT overinflate items. Follow manufacturer's instructions for the item being inflated.
- Unattended Operation: DO NOT leave the air compressor unattended while in operation.
- Carrying: DO NOT carry the air compressor by the air hose or power cord.
- Wet/Damp Areas: DO NOT operate the air compressor in wet or damp areas.
- Attachments: Operate the air compressor only with the included attachments and accessories.
- Air Tanks/Shocks: This air compressor is not designed to fill air tanks or air shocks.
- Loose Clothing/Jewelry: Avoid wearing watches, rings, bracelets, or loose clothing that can get caught in moving parts.
- Footing: Maintain proper footing at all times.
- Overload: Do not overload the tool; allow it to operate at its optimum speed.
- Damaged Tool: Do not use a tool that is leaking, has missing or damaged parts, or requires repairs. Ensure all screws are securely tightened.
- Disposal: If the tool is damaged beyond repair, dispose of it at an appropriate recycling facility.
The MotoMaster Dual Power Air Compressor is a robust and user-friendly device, offering convenience and reliability for various inflation tasks, backed by a three-year warranty against defects in workmanship and materials.
