Do not obstruct ventilation holes.11.

Do not use the pump if the switch 12.

does not turn it on and off. This Air

Pump comes equipped with a “safety”

Switch that automatically turns the Air

Pump OFF when it is released. DO

NOT tape the Switch down or attempt

to override this safety feature. Any

pump that cannot be controlled with

the switch is dangerous and must be

repaired.

Disconnect the plug from the power 13.

source before making any adjust-

ments, changing accessories, or

storage. Such preventive safety

measures reduce the risk of starting

the Air Pump accidentally.

Check for breakage of parts and any 14.

other condition that may affect the

Air Pump’s operation. If damaged,

have it repaired before use. Many

accidents are caused by poorly main-

tained pumps.

This product is not a toy. Keep it out 15.

of reach of children.

People with pacemakers should 16.

consult their physician(s) before use.

Electromagnetic elds in close prox-

imity to heart pacemaker could cause

pacemaker interference or pacemak-

er failure. In addition, people with

pacemakers should:

• Avoid operating alone.

• Do not use with power switch locked

on.

• Properly maintain and inspect to

avoid electrical shock.

• Any power cord must be properly

grounded. Ground Fault Circuit Inter-

rupter (GFCI) should also be imple-

mented – it prevents sustained elec-

trical shock.

WARNING: Handling the cord on 17.

this product will expose you to lead,

a chemical known to the State of

California to cause cancer, and birth

defects or other reproductive harm.

Wash hands after handling. (Califor-

nia Health & Safety Code § 25249.5,

et seq.)

The warnings, precautions, and in-18.

structions discussed in this instruction

manual cannot cover all possible con-

ditions and situations that may occur.

It must be understood by the operator

that common sense and caution are

factors which cannot be built into this

product, but must be supplied by the

operator.

Extension Cords

Double Insulated1. pumps can use

either a two or three wire extension

cord.

As the distance from the supply outlet 2.

increases, you must use a heavier

gauge extension cord. Using exten-

sion cords with inadequately sized

wire causes a serious drop in voltage,

resulting in loss of power and pos-

sible pump damage.

(See Table A.)

The smaller the gauge number of the 3.

wire, the greater the capacity of the

cord. For example, a 14 gauge cord

can carry a higher current than a 16

gauge cord. (See Table A.)

When using more than one exten-4.

sion cord to make up the total length,

make sure each cord contains at

least the minimum wire size required.

(See Table A.)

If you are using one extension cord 5.

for more than one pump, add the

nameplate amperes and use the sum

to determine the required minimum

cord size. (See Table A.)

If you are using an extension cord 6.

outdoors, make sure it is marked with

the sufx “W-A” (“W” in Canada) to

indicate it is acceptable for outdoor

use.

Make sure the extension cord is prop-7.

erly wired and in good electrical con-

dition. Always replace a damaged

extension cord or have it repaired by

a qualied electrician before using it.

Protect the extension cords from 8.

sharp objects, excessive heat, and

damp or wet areas.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

Read the ENTIRE IMPORTANT

SAFETY INFORMATION section

at the beginning of this manual

before set up or use of this

product.

Pump Set Up

TO PREVENT

SERIOUS INJURY

FROM ACCIDENTAL

OPERATION:

Turn the Power Switch of the

Air Pump “OFF” and unplug

the pump from its electrical

outlet before performing any

inspection, maintenance, or

cleaning procedures.

NOTE: This Air Pump has an

automatic safety Switch and

should always be OFF if it is

not being depressed. If at the

Air Pump starts when it is rst

plugged into an electrical

outlet, unplug it immediately

and have the Switch repaired

before further use.

Regular Nozzle (14) Extra Tube (16)

Multi-use Nozzle (15)

Figure 1

1. Three sizes and types of Air Nozzles

are included with this Air Pump. See

Figure 1.

NOTE: For fastest ination and 2.

maximum motor cooling, use the

largest size Nozzle possible.

This Air Pump quickly inates and de-3.

ates large, low pressure inatables.

It operates at a constant (low) speed

and does not use a pressure gauge.

It is important to monitor the air pres-

sure build up (squeeze the inatable)

to prevent over inating.

To Inate

Insert Plug from Power Cord (30) into 1.

120 Volt outlet.

Insert correct Nozzle into the ina-2.

tion hole/valve on item to be inated.

NOTE: Test valves/holes for correct

Nozzle size before plugging in, or

turning on the Air Pump. Use the

largest possible Nozzle.

SKU 98841 For technical questions, please call 1-800-444-3353. Page 6

Insert the Nozzle into the ination 3.

hole/valve at the front of the Air

Pump. Plug in the Air Pump.

Hold the ON/OFF Switch (27) with 4.

one hand and the Air Pump will oper-

ate. Monitor the inatable with your

free hand and when the right amount

of pressure is achieved, release the

ON/OFF Switch (27), the Air Pump

will turn off.

NOTE: On large inatables such as 5.

inatable boats and large air mat-

tresses, the Air Pump will t directly

into the ination valve and provide a

faster ination time.

To prevent accidents, turn off the 6.

pump and disconnect its power sup-

ply after use. Clean, then store the

pump indoors out of children’s reach.

To Deate

Open the ination hole/valve on item.1.

Attach correct Nozzle to (Deate 2.

opening) at the rear of the Air Pump.

Plug in and turn on Air Pump. Hold 3.

down ON/OFF Switch (27) till item is

completely deated.

Release ON/OFF Switch to turn off.4.

MAINTENANCE AND

SERVICING

Procedures not specically

explained in this manual

must be performed only by a

qualied technician.

TO PREVENT

SERIOUS INJURY

FROM ACCIDENTAL

OPERATION:

Release the Power Switch of

the pump and unplug the

pump from its electrical outlet

before performing any

inspection, maintenance, or

cleaning procedures.

This Air Pump has an

automatic safety Switch and

should always be OFF if it

is not being depressed. If

at anytime the Air Pump

should start when it is rst

plugged into an electrical

outlet, unplug it immediately

and have the Switch repaired

before any further use.

TO PREVENT SERIOUS

INJURY FROM PUMP

FAILURE:

Do not use damaged

equipment. If abnormal noise

or vibration occurs, have the

problem corrected before

further use.

SERVICING OF A DOUBLE-

INSULATED PRODUCT:

In a double-insulated product,

two systems of insulation

are provided instead of

grounding. No grounding

means is provided on a

double-insulated product, not

should a means for grounding

be added to the product.

Servicing of a double-

insulated product requires

extreme care and knowledge

of the system and should be

done only by qualied service

personnel. Replacement

parts for a double-insulated

product must be identical to

those parts in the product.

Cleaning, Maintenance, and

Lubrication

BEFORE EACH USE,1. inspect the

general condition of the pump.

Check for loose screws, cracked or

broken parts, damaged electrical wir-

ing, and any other condition that may

affect its safe operation.

AFTER USE,2. clean external surfaces

of the pump with clean, dry cloth.

Store idle Air Pump inside in a dry 3.

area away from children.

4. WARNING! Never open the Case

on this Air Pump. If any electri-

cal maintenance is needed, or if

the supply cord of this Air Pump

is damaged, the service must be

performed only by a qualied tech-

nician.
