General Operation of Kit
11.1.
Compressor Operation
WARNING:
Never operate Air Compressor above
its MAXIMUM PRESSURE RATING (see label on
body). Operation exceeding maximum pressure
will damage Air Compressor and may result in
Dangerous Air System failure.
11.1.1.
Air compressor is equipped with an
automatic thermal overload protection
circuit, designed to protect air compressor
from overheating and causing permanent
damage.
11.1.2.
Automatic thermal overload protector will
automatically reset after 30 minutes.
11.1.3.
To prevent discharge of
vehicle’s battery
and for best performance, keep vehicle’s
engine running while using air compressor
for any prolonged use (i.e., filling tires,
using air tools, etc.).
11.2.
Horn Operation
11.2.1.
Allow Air Compressor to run until it shuts
off automatically (i.e., Air Tank is full), or
for at least one minute in between horn
activations.
11.2.2.
Press Horn Button to activate Horns
11.2.3.
Horn sound/loudness will taper quickly as
Air Tank loses pressure.
11.2.4.
Horns should sound for 3-7 seconds
depending on kit and tank size

Routine Maintenance
Perform following steps at least once during
recommended intervals.
12.1.
Yearly, or every 12000 miles verify all
mounting fasteners are properly torqued;
applying witness marks across fasteners and
mounting parts is good practice to quickly
ensure fasteners have not moved.
12.2.
Yearly, or every 12000 miles inspect OE
wiring, tubing, cables, etc. where Kit parts
may touch, to verify no abrasion or rubbing.
12.3.
Yearly, or every 12000 miles remove all road
grime and mud from mounting brackets and
kit parts using clean water from a garden
hose; pay special attention to corners where
dirt may collect. Touch up all paint chips
using automotive grade enamel in either
spray, or brush form.
NOTE: High-pressure washers may damage part
finishes and
must
be used with care. Do this
more frequently if traveling regularly off-
road, or in winter climates with road salts.
12.4.
Yearly, or every 12000 miles check electrical
and air fitting connections and wires for
abrasion, corrosion, or other damage.
Replace damaged components.
NOTE: if system runs continuously or turns on
unexpectedly,
leaks
or
intermittent
electrical connection may be present.
12.5.
Monthly, or every 10 hours of compressor
run time, drain moisture from air tank using
drain valve installed at bottom of tank.
WARNING:
Failure to regularly drain air tank may
result in corrosion inside tank and possible
failure in tank or air lines, which can suddenly
release air pressure causing injury.
12.6.
Yearly, or every 12000 miles clean, or
replace air compressor air filter element.
Replacement
frequency
depends
on
operating frequency and conditions of
operating environment (i.e., daily use
requires more frequent changes). Order
replacement filters at
NOTE: Never lubricate or add any liquids to the
included oil-less air compressor
