AIR TANK 

MOUNTING 

  Find a convenient mounting location in your vehicle for the air tank. Ensure ports are reachable before drilling 

any holes. 

  Mark the location of holes using the mounting brackets of the air tank as a template, and then drill to size.  

  Using mounting hardware provided, secure the air tank. 

IMPORTANT

: Do not mount on a flexible material. 

 

The installation location of your tank’s accessories depends on your air system’s configuration. 

 
PORT LOCATIONS AND THREAD SIZE (NPT) 
 

 

 
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. 

 

AIR PRESSURE GAUGE 

 

In one of the Air Tank’s 1/4" NPT ports, using the thread sealant provided, install the air pressure gauge. 

  The side or top of the tank is the best location to use as to prevent condensation from entering into the gauge. 

 

Dropping or disturbing the product can affect the product’s accuracy. 

  For best results, the air gauge should be installed perpendicular to the ground, with the zero facing the 

bottom. 

  To tighten the pressure gauge into the air tank, place a wrench over the square wrench flats to tum the 

gauge. This is the proper way to avoid air leakage or damage. 

 

SAFETY VALVE 

Your system comes with a safety valve designed specifically to release pressure from the air tank automatically if 250 
PSI is exceeded. This will help prevent an accident in case of pressure switch failure. 
 

DRAIN VALVE 

  This valve helps you drain the water that can collect in the air tank after long periods of use. 

REMOVING CONDENSATION

 

To remove any condensation which has accumulated inside the tank, bleed the tank’s pressure until it ranges 
from approximately 5 PSI to 20 PSI. 

 

Remove the drain valve found at the tank’s bottom to drain the water from the tank. After draining the 
accumulated condensation, reinstall the drain valve. 

 

IMPORTANT

: Draining the system regularly will extend the life of the air tank. 

 

THREAD SEALANT 

  Your system includes Premium Thread Sealant, make sure to use it on all thread connections to ensure 

proper air sealing.
