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.

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.
