General Operation of Kit 

10.1.

 

Compressor Operation 

WARNING:

 Never operate Air Compressor above its MAXIMUM PRESSURE RATING (see label on 

body). Operation exceeding maximum pressure will damage Air Compressor and may result in 

DANGERous Air System failure. 

a.

 

Air compressor is equipped with an automatic thermal overload protection circuit, designed to protect 

air compressor from overheating and causing permanent damage.   

b.

 

Automatic thermal overload protector will automatically reset after 30 minutes. 

c.

 

To prevent discharge of vehicle’s battery and for best performance, keep vehicle’s engine running while 

using air compressor for any prolonged use (i.e., filling tires, using air tools, etc.). 

10.2.

 

Horn Operation 

a.

 

Allow Air Compressor to run until it shuts off automatically (i.e., Air Tank is full), or for at least one 

minute in between horn activations. 

b.

 

Press Horn Button to activate Horns 

i.

 

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

ii.

 

Horns should sound for 3-7 seconds depending on kit and tank size 

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.
