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

MOUNTING AND WIRING:
1.Disconnectgroundcablefromvehicle’sbattery.
2. Temporarily position the air source kit 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sourcekitattanklegmountswiththefour

using a wrench.
6.Connectground(Black)wiretoacleanground,(preferablya

self-tapping screw.
7.Connectpositive(Red)leadwirefrompre-installed

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(100PSIcut-on,145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.
