Ryobi YN500A Operator Manual - Page 9

OPERATION CAUTION:  When charging is complete the red and yellow LED light up and remain lit until unit is disconnected from power source. The inflator is capable of inflating to 150 PSI, 10.34 BAR, or 10.55 Kg/Cm2. To avoid over inflation, carefully follow instructions on items to be inflated. To avoid product damage, never exceed recommended pressures. APPLICATIONS You may use this inflator for the purpose listed below:  Powering 12 V DC devices  Inflating high pressure items like motorcycle, car, and bicycle tires  Illuminating any areas requiring additional light Charging with the 12 V adaptor:  Connect the unit to a power supply using the 12 V adaptor. Make sure the power supply is 12 V DC. NOTE: Charging the unit using a vehicle's 12 V receptacle when the engine is not running will drain the vehicle's battery.  The red LED will light up during charge. Press the diagnostic button to determine charge status. For more details, refer to the "LED Functions of Inflator" section later in the manual.  When charging is complete the red and yellow LEDs will light up and remain lit until unit is disconnected from power source. NOTE: The inflator is not designed for commercial application. INSTALLING THE FUSE See Figure 2, page 12 The inflator is shipped with a 15 A JAT blade type automotive fuse that must be installed prior to use. CHARGING THE INFLATOR See Figure 3, page 12. The inflator can be charged using the AC adaptor/charger or the 12 V adaptor.  Allow at least 25 hours of charge time when using the AC adaptor/charger or 9 hours when using the 12 V DC adaptor charger before initial use of the inflator. Subsequent charging times can take up to 25-30 hours using the AC adaptor/charger or up to 9-10 hours using the 12 V DC adaptor/charger.  Do not operate the inflator, worklight or 12 V receptacle while charging.  The inflator should be charged in a cool, dry place. LED FUNCTIONS OF INFLATOR See Figure 4, page 12. To determine the inflator's level of charge, depress the diagnostic button. When the button is pressed, the LEDs provide feedback:  Red LED on: Charge is needed  Red and yellow LED on: Inflator has moderate charge  All LEDs on: Inflator is fully charged 12 V RECEPTACLE See Figure 5, page 13. The inflator can be used to power other 12 V devices. To power products using the inflator, plug the 12 V DC adaptor of the device you wish to power into the inflator's receptacle. The inflator will supply power to the device until the inflator runs out of charge or the device is disconnected from the receptacle. NOTE: To avoid damaging the fuse, never charge an item rated over 15A.  The battery charging should be performed at temperatures between 68°F and 77°F. CAUTION:  Charge the inflator only with the charger provided.  The AC charger should be disconnected from the inflator any time the unit is not in use.  To improve battery life, store inflator indoors in a controlled climate.  The battery does not have to be fully discharged before recharging.  When fully charged, the inflator can be safely stored at temperatures between 68°F to 77°F for a period of up to 52 weeks, before it requires charging. Do not use the 12 V receptacle to power items rated less than 12 V or items without proper protection. Failure to heed this warning could result in damage to the inflator or the item being powered. USING THE WORKLIGHT See Figure 6, page 13. To turn the worklight ON, depress the worklight on/off switch to the on position. To turn it OFF, depress the switch to the off position. Charging with the AC adaptor/charger:  Connect the AC adaptor/charger to the unit and plug the WARNING: cord into a power supply. Do not direct the light beam at persons or animals and  The red LED will light up during charge. Press the diagnos- do not stare into the light beam yourself (not even from a tic button to determine charge status. For more details, distance). Staring into the light beam may result in serious refer to the "LED Functions of Inflator" section later in the injury or vision loss. manual. 9 - English
