1. INTRODUCTION Congratulations on selecting the Vector Air Pro™ Model VEC255 Compressor & Inflator Combo. This system is an advanced high-pressure (up to 260 PSI) multi-use air compressor system with unique features that set it far above the value and utility of ordinary compressors for mobile use. It is supplied with a standard tire valve chuck for filling auto, truck, bike, and motorcycle tires.
The Compressor On/Off Switch controls operation of the compressor. It conveniently is depressed and released to control inflation. An exact pressure is obtained by observing the gauge and releasing the trigger when the correct pressure is achieved. For longer inflation operations, the Trigger Lock can be moved laterally to lock the trigger in the ON position. Pushing the trigger lock to the opposite direction releases the trigger (OFF) and inflation stops. 2.
