MOUNTING AND WIRING

1.   Disconnect ground cable from vehicle’s battery.

2.   Temporarily position the air compressor 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 compressor with the four sets of bolts, nuts, washers, and locking  washers provided.  

 

(See Fig. 2 for Mounting Instructions) Use of thread sealant recommended.

5.  

NOTE: For remote inlet air filter installation, refer to instructions included in the Remote Inlet Air  

 

Filter Pack. 

6.   This air compressor may be equipped with a heavy duty heat resistant leader hose.  This leader  

 

hose is designed to prolong the life of your air line.  Do not remove this leader hose from air  

 compressor. 

(Not applicable to P/N 32534)

7.  

IMPORTANT: Please note, the leader hose that may be equipped with your compressor may 

 

also have a built-in inline check valve.  Do not remove inline check valve from leader hose if  

 

so equipped.    

8.   Select a proper location to mount leader hose with hose bracket provided.  Avoid locations  

 

where leader hose may become tangled with wires and other hoses.  

9.   To mount hose bracket, drill hole with 3/16” drill bit and push self–anchoring hose bracket pin  

 

into hole.  Route leader hose through hose bracket and secure hose by pressing bracket clamp  

 

into locked position.  

10. To remove hose from the hose bracket, simply press down on the hose clamp release tab to  

 

release bracket clamp. (Fig. 3)

11. Connect compressor’s positive lead wire to one of the leads of your pressure switch.  

12. Make sure that your compressor setup is properly fused.  For appropriate fuse size, refer to amp  

 

draw of compressor in the specifications section of this manual.  

13. Always locate fuse as close as possible to power source.  

14. Before connecting to power source, re-check to make sure that all connections are 

 

made properly.  

15. Connect and test compressor system by running the compressor for a short time to build up  

 

pressure in your air tank.  

16. Once air pressure reaches preset cut out pressure of your pressure switch, the compressor will  

 

shut off.   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.
