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. 

  I

f you are planning to move compressor’s air intake to an area other than where the compressor was 

installed, make sure your placement allows for the airline to be routed from the air inlet of the compressor to 
the remote inlet air filter  (remote installation kit sold separately) 

  Mark the spots for the holes with the mounting base as a guide and then drill. Make sure the compressor is 

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 compressor 

to the tank’s inlet port. 

 

IMPORTANT

: T

he tank’s inlet port 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 

  The 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.
