11.1.

 

Reconnect Vehicle Battery(s) 

CAUTION:

  Before  connecting  vehicle  battery(s), 

verify all wiring is properly connected and no shorts 
exists.    Use  of  Multi-Meter,  or  Test  Light  is 
recommended to check continuity of all connections. 

11.2.

 

Test Air Compressor 

11.2.1.

 

Turn  vehicle  ignition  to  on  position  and 
allow compressor to fill Air Tank. Initial fill 
may take approximately 1.5-3 minutes; Air 
Compressor should shut off automatically 
once full pressure is achieved. 

11.2.2.

 

If  compressor  runs  excessively  (i.e.,  5 
minutes  or  more),  disconnect  electrical 
power to Air Compressor and listen for air 
leaks in system.  Repair any problems and 
retest; contact Kleinn technical support if 
problem persists. 

11.2.3.

 

Inspect  all  air  line  connections  (i.e.,  Air 
Tank  fittings,  Quick  Connect  fittings,  Air 
Horn fittings, etc.) for leaks by using a soap 
and  water  solution  sprayed  directly  onto 
fittings 

11.2.4.

 

System must be pressurized or at least Air 
Compressor running  

11.2.5.

 

If an air leak is found: 

11.2.6.

 

Safely  release  air  pressure  from  system 
(i.e., slowly open drain valve) 

11.2.7.

 

Disassemble leaky connection, re-seal and 
reinstall fittings as needed 

 

11.3.

 

Test Train Horns 

11.3.1.

 

Allow Air Compressor to run and shut-off 
automatically (i.e., Air Tank is full) 

11.3.2.

 

Verify  all  tubing  and  electrical  wire  is 
securely  fastened  to  vehicle,  brackets,  or 
kit parts; if necessary, use extra zip ties to 
hold tubing and wire in place 

11.3.3.

 

Ensure all nearby persons have  adequate 
hearing  protection  and  provide  courtesy 
warning to neighbors or others in vicinity 

WARNING:

 NEVER operate train horns with ears 

close  to  trumpets  or  in  an  enclosed  space 
without 

substantial  hearing  protection

  (i.e.,  > 

Ear  Plugs  and  Ear  Muffs)  for  all  persons  closer 
than 100 feet from vehicle.  Never operate train 
horns  outdoors  when  persons  are  near  vehicle 
without adequate hearing protection.  

11.3.4.

 

Briefly  activate  Horns  by  pressing  Horn 
Button for one (1) second; repeat three (3) 
times  with  a  short  rest  period  between 
(i.e., 1-3 seconds) 

11.3.5.

 

Horns  should  sound  as  expected  and  be 
loud

click to listen to example 230 Kit

 

11.3.6.

 

Horn sound/loudness will taper quickly as 
Air Tank loses pressure 

11.3.7.

 

Allow  Air  Compressor  to  refill  tank,  if 
needed  and  activate  Horns  for  longer 
three  (3)  second  period  to  ensure  Horns 
are functioning properly. 

11.4.

 

Test Quick Connect Coupler 

11.4.1.

 

Allow  Air  Compressor  to  refill  tank,  if 
needed 

11.4.2.

 

Attach supplied INF-1 inflator kit to Quick 
Connect  Coupler  and  verify  adequate  air 
pressure is available 

11.4.3.

 

Test fill tires on vehicle, bicycle, etc.
