HORN KITS

1. Installing the Horn

First, locate a secure area to mount the horn. Drill 

holes for each horn mount. Secure the horn using the 

provided mounting hardware.

2. Installing the Air Compressor

Disconnect the battery cable from the vehicle

and place the air compressor in a secure area, either 

upright or horizontally. 

DO NOT mount upside down.

 

Install the air compressor assembly, making sure to 

mount the air compressor where it will receive air 

flow. Mount the air compressor above the air tank. To 

get a 100% seal, use Teflon tape on all fittings.

3. Installing the Air Tank

Double-check that the hose from the compressor to 

the air tank is a suitable length. When the tank is 

positioned in the desired location, secure it with the 

provided mounting hardware. Be sure to mount the 

tank in a low-traffic area, away from windows.

4. Installing Tubing

Double check all measurements before cutting and 

fitting tubing. Leave about 1 inch extra per air line to 

work with. To prevent any air leaks, use Teflon 

sealant on all fittings. Check for kinks in the tubing 

after installation. Connect air compressor to air tank 

and secure all connections. Connect the pressure 

switch to tank using Teflon sealant. Connect air tank 

to air valve, then valve to horn, using Teflon sealant. 

Make sure to properly cut tubing and use all appro-

priate fittings.

Troubleshooting the Horn Kit

The sound of the horn changes.

Make sure the air source from the valve is entering 

the right manifold, then double-check that each air 

line is of equal length.

There is moisture in the horn.

To get rid of moisture, depressurize and drain the 

tank. Then move the compressor to a less humid 

location.

The horn isn’t making any sound.

Make sure the air tank is pressurized, make sure 

switches are on, replace fuses and check that all 

electrical circuits are secure.

The compressor isn’t running.

Check the fuses and switches, and replace the 

pressure switch if necessary.

There is a knocking sound.

Replace the air compressor and move it to a cooler 

location.

Routine Maintenance

•Clean the horn kit monthly

•Drain the air system at least once a month to        

  remove condensation

•Change the air filter periodically

•Do routine checks for debris near the kit
