COMPRESSOR
MOUNTING
Determine a dry place to mount your compressor. If you have chosen to install in the engine compartment,
you should mount it as close to the front as possible to allow for maximum flow of air around compressor and
also to avoid heat from the exhaust.
IMPORTANT
: Never attach the compressor to any plastic or other
flexible material.
For optimal results, the compressor should be placed as close to the battery as possible. This will reduce the
amount of wiring needed.
Avoid placing compressor near flammable liquids.
If you are planning to move compressor’s air intake to an area other than where the compressor was
installed, make sure your placement allows for the airline to be routed from the air inlet of the compressor to
the remote inlet air filter.
Mark the spots for the holes with the mounting base as a guide and then drill. Make sure the compressor is
secured.
To enhance performance and make sure the battery of your vehicle doesn’t discharge, keep the engine
running while the compressor is being used.
BRAIDED HOSE INSTALLATION
Connect the stainless steel braided hose of the compressor to the tank’s inlet port.
IMPORTANT
: T
he tank’s inlet port must be 3/8" N.P.T. (National Pipe Thread).
REMOTE AIR FILTER INSTALLATION KIT

to move compressor’s air intake to an area other than where the compressor was installed.

10 feet of air line is enclosed for attaching the remote air filter.
Find an installation location for the remote air filter, ensuring that the location should be dry and far from a
heat source.
Use a hose cutter, a razor blade, or a sharp knife when trimming the airline. A clean, square cut is optimal.
IMPORTANT
: Do not use wire cutters or scissors to cut the air line, these tools may flatten or crimp the air
line causing it to leak.
Place the airline all the way onto the barbed fittings or at least, until it covers two ridges and starts routing the
air line.
