WIRING COMPRESSOR
(Fig. 7 through Fig. 9):
9. The compressor’s red wire
is connected to a (+) 12-volt
power source, using the fuse
provided.
IMPORTANT! The fuse must
be connected directly to the
power source.
IMPORTANT! The red fused
wire must be connected to
a (+) 12-volt power source
controlled by the vehicle’s
ignition switch. This will
protect your compressor
from running continuously
and being damaged if an
air leak develops when the
vehicle is not in operation.
Suggested connection points
are: blower motor, windshield
wiper motor or the accessory terminal on the fuse panel. Make sure the
connection point has a wire that is as heavy as the compressor’s wires and
the connection point is capable of handling 25-amps. CAUTION: remove
the fuse from the fuse holder until installation is complete.
OPTIONAL: A switch can be installed into the compressor’s red wire. This will
permit the driver to turn-off the system if it is not required. (Fig. 7)
10. The compressor’s black wire is connected to a rubber plug. NOTE: the
rubber plug will have two black wires, both wires will connect to the tank’s
pressure switch.
IMPORTANT: It is recommended that both black wires be pushed forward
so that the terminals are extending out of the rubber boot exposing the 1/4”
female terminals (Fig. 8.).
11. Select one of the black wires with the 1/4” female terminal, connect the
terminal to the pressure switch. Repeat the procedure for the other black
wire. NOTE: There is no polarity, so either black wire can be connected to
either pressure switch terminal (Fig. 8).
12. Push the rubber boot onto the pressure switch (Fig. 9).
13. The black wire with the looped terminal is connected to ground; secure
the wire’s terminal to either the (-) side of vehicle’s battery or under any
metal body bolt. Make sure that the ground connection is free of rust and
paint. NOTE: The compressor is now ready to be used.Install the fuse
back into the fuse holder and the compressor will automatically start.
When the pressure drops below 80 PSI in the tank, the pressure switch
will automatically turn on the compressor. When the tank pressure is
approximately 120 PSI the compressor will automatically turn off. If the
compressor does not shut off after 4 minutes of running time, check all air
hose connections for leaks. Use soapy water or bubble solution on each fitting, while the compressor is
pumping. Use a thread sealant if leak persists after tightening.
CAUTION: Do not touch compressor or fittings with bare hands during or immediately after usage, they
will be hot.
IMPORTANT! Compressor is equipped with an internal THERMAL OVERLOAD PROTECTOR. If compressor
should shut off before the tank has been filled to the pressure switch’s turn off pressure, do not attempt to
restart compressor. Allow compressor to cool off for approximately 40 minutes before resuming use.

FUSE
Push both black wires
onto the pressure
switch terminals.
There is no
polarity, so either
black wire can
be connected to
either pressure
switch
terminal.
Push the rubber
boot down over
