INSTALLATION

Please read and follow the installation instructions carefully to avoid injury or damage to the 

compressor or your vehicle.

Each of our air compressors and parts have been carefully produced and packaged.  Before you 

begin 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 pay close attention to 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 & dust resistant, but NOT DIRT OR WATERPROOF. Do not mount  

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

5. For compressor 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 that the remote inlet air  

  filter is located in a dry location, away from the elements.  

6. You will also want to select a compressor mounting location where the leader hose bracket can be  

  mounted to leader hose.  (Not applicable to P/N 32534)

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 minimum 10 AWG positive lead wire for 

  remote installation.

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
