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. Teflon tape is not recommended.
Properly sealed, recommended torque is 12 to 15 ft. lbs
