PLANNING YOUR INSTALLATION
This is the most important step in your installation.
• Plan out the location of each component before starting your installation.
• Make sure you have enough airline and wire to install the system before beginning the installation.
• Make sure mounting locations are secure and void of debris.
• Try to keep the supply wire to the compressor as short as possible. Wires lose voltage over distance therefore
shorter wires will result in better performance.
• Mount your air source unit in a location that is as cool as possible and away from heat sources. This will make your
compressor run cooler and last longer.
• Your air source unit must be mounted upright with the compressor above the tank. Failure to mount the unit in this
position will allow any condensation buildup to drain back in to the compressor and harm its components, and also
will disrupt the compressor’s ability to cool.
• Teflon tape or a locking compound should be used on every fitting in your air system to prevent air leaks; unless a
white or red PTFE paste is already applied.
• Use the supplied 10 gauge wire or thicker (lower gauge #) wire to power your air compressor.

INSTALLING YOUR HORNBLASTERS TRAIN HORNS
The horns can be mounted in any direction and still be heard from all around. The horns should not be mounted
where they will be completely submerged or will receive any kind of impact. Horns may be mounted directly to your
vehicle, on a medium such as grommet strips (plumber’s strap), sheet metal or any sort of custom bracket. Note
that air line will be running to each horns rear mount.
1. Locate a secure, dry, and safe position for your horns.
2. Drill a 3/16” hole for the front mount of each horn and a 7/16” hole for each rear mount.
3. Secure the horn using the supplied mounting hardware.
II. INSTALLING YOUR AIR SOURCE KIT
Locate a flat and secure installation area that will remain free of dust, dirt, and debris (your compressors performance
is directly affected by air quality). Try to keep the distance of the unit from the battery to a minimum to keep your
compressor running at maximum performance.
1. Disconnect the ground cable from the vehicle’s battery.
2. Position the unit in the desired location and secure it using the supplied mounting hardware (10mm).
3. Remove the orange plug in the compressor’s inlet and mount the included air filter in its place.
SAFETY DURING INSTALLATION
• Disconnect the ground of your battery before beginning your installation.
• Use eye protection when operating drills.
• Take your time and do not rush your installation.
