MOUNTING
Determine a dry place to mount your compressors. If you have chosen to install in the engine compartment,
you should mount it as close to the front as possible to allow for maximum flow of air around them and also to
avoid heat from the exhaust.
IMPORTANT
: Never attach the compressors to any plastic or other flexible
material.
For optimal results, the compressors should be placed as close to the battery as possible. This will reduce the
amount of wiring needed.
Avoid placing compressors near flammable liquids.
If you are planning to mo
ve compressor’s air intake to an area other than where the compressors were
installed, make sure your placement allows for the airlines to be routed from the air inlet of the compressors
to the remote inlet air filters (remote installation kit sold separately).
Mark the spots for the holes with the mounting base as a guide and then drill. Make sure both compressors
are secured.
To enhance performance and make sure the battery of your vehicle doesn’t discharge, keep the engine
running while the compressor is being used.
BRAIDED HOSE INSTALLATION
Connect the stainless steel braided hose of the compressors
to the tank’s inlet ports.
IMPORTANT
: T
he tank’s inlet ports must be 1/4" N.P.T. (National Pipe Thread).
CHECK VALVE
The check valve is an important part of the air compressor and has only one function: to let air flow from one
side to the other, in this case from the compressor to the tank, while blocking air flow in the opposite direction.
IMPORTANT
: When installing the braided hose do not rotate or remove the inline check valve located at the
end of the hose on the side that connects to the air tank. Doing so will damage its seals and will result in
damage to your air compressor.
REMOTE FILTER
Using a compatible remote air filter installation kit (
sold separately) your compressor’s air intake can be
installed in an area other than where the compressor was installed.
THERMAL OVERLOAD PROTECTION
Compressor has Thermal Overload Protection, if this protection activates, cut off the source of power and let
the unit cool down for about 30 minutes. This will reset the system and allow you to safely resume use of the
air compressor.
PRESSURE SWITCH RATING
The included pressure switch has a rating of 170 PSI ON, 200 PSI OFF. When the air pressure in the air tank
is below the preset ON pressure (170 PSI), the compressor will automatically turn on and will start pumping
air into the tank. When the pressure reaches the cut OFF pressure (200 PSI), the compressor will be
automatically shut off.
