INSTALLATION GUIDE

PLANNING YOUR INSTALLATION
Before beginning the installation, determine each component’s spot.
Confirm you have the proper length of airline and wire.
Power wire to compressor should be kept short.
To power up the air compressor, make sure you use a 12-gauge wire or thicker.
COMPRESSOR
MOUNTING
Determine a dry place to mount your compressor. 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 compressor and
also to avoid heat from the exhaust.
IMPORTANT
: Never attach the compressor to any plastic or other
flexible material.
For optimal results, the compressor should be placed as close to the battery as possible. This will reduce the
amount of wiring needed.
Avoid placing compressor near flammable liquids.
Make sure your placement allows for the airline to be routed from the air inlet of the compressor to the remote
inlet air filter. The Remote Inlet Air Filter should be placed somewhere dry and not prone to getting wet.
Mark the spots for the holes with the mounting base as a guide and then drill. Make sure the compressor is
secured.
BRAIDED HOSE INSTALLATION
Connect the stainless steel
braided hose of the compressor to the tank’s inlet port.
IMPORTANT
: T
he tank’s inlet port must be 3/8" N.P.T. (National Pipe Thread).
REMOTE AIR FILTER INSTALLATION KIT
Only use if you need to move compressor’s air intake to an area other than where the compressor was installed.

B. 3/8" NPT Female x 3/8" Barbed Tube Fitting (1 pc)
C. 3/8" NPT Male x 3/8" Barbed Tube Fitting (1 pc)
D. 3/8" OD Air Line (1 pc)

G. Remote Inlet Air Filter with Filter Element (1 pc)
H. Remote Filter Holder with Self-Anchoring Pin (1 pc)
I. Filter Elements (2 pcs)
J. Remote Filter Holder Screws (2 pcs)
10 feet of air line is enclosed for attaching the remote air filter.
Find an installation location for the remote air filter, ensuring that the location should be dry and far from a
heat source.
Use a hose cutter, a razor blade, or a sharp knife when trimming the airline. A clean, square cut is optimal.
IMPORTANT
: Do not use wire cutters or scissors to cut the air line, these tools may flatten or crimp the air
line causing it to leak.
Place the airline all the way onto the barbed fittings or at least, until it covers two ridges and starts routing the
air line.
