INSTALLATION
Please read and follow the Installation
Instruction carefully to avoid injury or damage
to the compressor or your vehicle.
Each of our air source kits and parts have been
carefully produced and packaged. Before you
begin installation, please familiarize yourself with
Installation Parts List (Fig. 1) of this manual.
Selecting a Mounting Location:
The selection of a proper mounting location for
your air source kit will help ensure a long and
trouble free service life. Please pay close
attention to the following guidelines:
1.
Select a FLAT AND SECURE location where
the air source kit 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.
The compressor is moisture & splash
resistant, but NOT WATERPROOF. Do not
mount air source kit in locations where the
unit is likely to come in contact with water.
5.
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 minimum 8 AWG
positive lead wire for remote installation.
6.
Do not mount air source kit near areas
where flammable liquids are stored.
MOUNTING AND WIRING
1. Disconnect ground cable from vehicle’s
battery.
2. Temporarily position the air source kit in
the location where it will be mounted.
3.
Route ground wire to the negative post of the
battery or to an appropriate grounding point and
cut ground wire to length as needed.
4.
Mount air source kit at tank leg mounts with the
four grommets, and four sets of bolts, nuts,
washers, and locking washers provided.
5. Route air line to the 1/2-inch compression
fitting and make your air line connection.
Tighten compression fitting nut securely
using a wrench.
6. Connect ground (Black) wire to a clean
ground, (preferably a chassis ground) and
secure with a self-tapping screw.
7. Connect positive (Red) lead wire from pre-
installed pressure switch to a fuse holder
(20-amp minimum).
8. Once the kit is properly fused as close as
possible to the power source, connect and
test compressor system by running the
compressor for a short time to build up
pressure in your air tank.
9. Once air pressure reaches preset cut out
pressure of your pressure switch (165 PSI
cut-on, 200 PSI cut-off), the compressor
will shut off automatically. Inspect all air
line connections for leaks with soap and
water solution. If a leak is detected, the air
line may not be cut squarely or pushed all
the way in. Tighten connections if needed.
