Initial Testing of Kit 

9.1.

 

Test Air Compressor 

a.

 

Turn vehicle ignition to on position and allow compressor to fill Air Tank. Initial fill may take 

approximately 1.5-3 minutes; Air Compressor should shut off automatically once full pressure is 

achieved. 

b.

 

If compressor runs excessively (i.e., 5 minutes or more), disconnect electrical power to Air Compressor 

and listen for air leaks in system.  Repair any problems and retest; contact Kleinn technical support if 

problem persists. 

c.

 

Inspect all air line connections (i.e., Air Tank fittings, Quick Connect fittings, Air Horn fittings, etc.) for 

leaks by using a soap and water solution sprayed directly onto fittings 

a.

 

System must be pressurized or at least Air Compressor running  

d.

 

If an air leak is found: 

a.

 

Safely release air pressure from system (i.e., slowly open drain valve) 

b.

 

Disassemble leaky connection, re-seal and reinstall fittings as needed 

 

9.2.

 

Test Train Horns 

a.

 

Allow Air Compressor to run and shut-off automatically (i.e., Air Tank is full) 

b.

 

Verify all tubing and electrical wire is securely fastened to vehicle, brackets, or kit parts; if necessary, use 
extra zip ties to hold tubing and wire in place 

c.

 

Ensure all nearby persons have adequate hearing protection and provide courtesy warning to neighbors 
or others in vicinity 

WARNING:

 NEVER operate train horns with ears close to trumpets or in an enclosed 

space withou

substantial hearing protection

 (i.e., > Ear Plugs and Ear Muffs) for all 

persons closer than 100 feet from vehicle.  Never operate train horns outdoors when 
persons are near vehicle without adequate hearing protection.  

a.

 

Briefly activate Horns by pressing Horn Button for one (1) second; repeat three (3) times with a short 
rest period between (i.e., 1-3 seconds) 

i.

 

Horns should sound as expected and be loud

click to listen to example 230 Kit

 

ii.

 

Horn sound/loudness will taper quickly as Air Tank loses pressure 

b.

 

Allow Air Compressor to refill tank, if needed and activate Horns for longer three (3) second period to 
ensure Horns are functioning properly. 

 

9.3.

 

Test Quick Connect Coupler 

a.

 

Allow Air Compressor to refill tank, if needed 

b.

 

Attach supplied INF-1 inflator kit to Quick Connect Coupler and verify adequate air pressure is available 

i.

 

Test fill tires on vehicle, bicycle, etc. 

ii.

 

Use Air Blow Gun 

iii.

 

Use Air Impact Gun
