INSTALLATION

Please read and follow the installation instructions carefully to avoid injury or damage to the 

compressor and your vehicle. Each of our air compressors and parts have been carefully produced 

and packaged. Before you begin installation, please familiarize yourself with Installation Parts List 

(Fig. 1) of this manual. 

Selecting a Mounting Location: 

The selection of proper mounting location for your air compressor will help ensure a long and 

trouble free compressor service life. Please pay close attention to the following guidelines: 

1. Select a FLAT, UPRIGHT AND SECURE location where the compressor 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. This compressor is moisture & splash resistant, but NOT WATER OR DUST PROOF. Do not mount 

compressor 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 16 AWG positive lead wire for remote 

installation. (See wire gauge reference chart)

6. Do not mount compressor near areas where flammable liquids are stored.
