COMPRESSOR INSTALLATION: Fig. 3 & 4
7. Install the compressor in a dry interior location.
IMPORTANT: The compressor
should not be mounted further than 30 inches from the trumpet to ensure best sound.
8. To secure the compressor, drill one 3/16”
hole. When possible, mount the compressor
vertically (air outlet on top). Install the head
of the bolt into the mounting bracket’s slot
on the side of the compressor. Secure
the compressor using the lock washer/nut
provided as shown in Fig. 3.
9. Using the plastic tubing provided, cut to
size, connect the compressor to the two air
inlets using the “Y” connector provided as
shown in Fig. 4.
WARNING: Avoid making any kinks or
sharp bends in plastic tubing that can
reduce air flow and alter the horn’s sound.
For best performance and sound always
keep the plastic tubing as short as possible.
WIRING:
ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS FOR USING A NEW HORN BUTTON SWITCH Fig. 5
10. Install the horn relay provided, in a dry interior location with the terminals facing downward.
11. Connect relay terminal 87 to the compressor’s positive (+) terminal. Use 16-gauge wire or heavier.
12. Connect relay terminal 85 to the horn button switch terminal. (Horn switch not provided).
13. The horn switch’s other terminal is connected to negative (-) such as the (-) battery post or any clean metal
negative surface. Use 18 gauge
wire or heavier.
14. Connect relay terminal 30
& 86 to positive (+) 12-volts
such as battery, alternator, fuse
block or etc., using16-gauge
wire or heavier.
IMPORTANT:
Protect the electrical circuit with
the twenty (20)-amp inline fuse
provided.
WARNING: The inline
fuse must be connected directly
to the power source.
15. Connect the compressor’s
negative (-) terminal to boat’s
battery, (-) post or any clean
metal negative surface. Use not
less than 16-gauge wire.
