INSTALLATION

Please read and follow the Installation Instructions carefully to avoid injury or damage to the 

compressor and your vehicle.

Each air compressor has been carefully produced and packaged. Before installation, please 

familiarize yourself with Installation Parts List (Fig. 1) of this manual. 

Guidelines for Selecting Mounting Location:

The selection of proper mounting location for your air compressor will help ensure a long and trouble 

free compressor service life. Please note the following guidelines: 

1.  Select a FLAT, UPRIGHT AND SECURE location where the compressor can be mounted.

2.  To maximize air compressor performance, locate compressor as CLOSE TO THE BATTERY as 

possible so that length of positive lead wire required is at a minimum. 

3.  Choose mounting location that is as cool as possible and AWAY FROM HEAT SOURCES. 

  The cooler the ambient temperature, the less chance the compressor will overheat. 

4.  This compressor is moisture & splash resistant, but NOT WATERPROOF. Do not mount 

compressor in locations where the unit is likely to come in contact with water. 

5.  For compressors with remote filter mounting, select compressor’s mounting location where air 

line can be routed from compressor air inlet to remote inlet air filter. Make sure Remote Inlet Air 

Filters are located in dry locations, away from water sources. 

6.  Select compressor’s mounting location where the leader hose bracket can be mounted to secure 

the stainless steel braided leader hose. 

7.  If it is necessary to mount the air compressor further away from the battery, such as inside your 

vehicle or in the bed of your pickup, use a larger gauge positive lead wire for remote installation.  

Refer to the recommended wire gauge guide on the back of this manual. 

8.  Do not mount compressor near areas where flammable liquids are stored.

9.  Use thread sealant for proper fitting installation. Thread tape is not recommended. 

  Properly sealed, recommended torque is 12~15ft. lbs
