VIAIR 20003 User manual

Brand: VIAIR

Model: 20003

Category: Air compressors

Type: User manual

VIAIR 20003 is a fast-fill air source kit that can inflate tires, sports balls, and other inflatables quickly and easily. The kit includes a 120 PSI compressor, a 1.5-gallon air tank, and all the necessary hoses and fittings.

The compressor is powered by a 12-volt DC system and has a duty cycle of 25%. This means that the compressor can run for 15 minutes out of every hour without overheating. The compressor is also equipped with an automatic reset thermal protector, which will turn the compressor off if it overheats.

The air tank has a capacity of 1.

INSTALLATION:

Please read and follow the Installation Instructions

carefully to avoid injury or damage to the compressor

or your vehicle.

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,UPRIGHT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8-10AWGpositiveleadwire

for remote installation. (See Wire Gauge Guide Below)

6.Donotmountairsourcekitnearareaswhereammable

 liquidsarestored.

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(90PSIcut-on,120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.
