REFERENCES:
Thank you for buying a Kahlenberg P449 Series Intermittent Duty Compressor Kit. This
is an automatic, powerful, and compact accessory for your air horn system and should
give you years of trouble-free performance. Although installation of this compressor kit
is straightforward and simple, we offer the following guidelines to assist you.
WARNING
THIS COMPRESSOR SYSTEM IS RATED FOR INTERMITTENT DUTY ONLY.
PLEASE READ AND UNDERSTAND THESE INSTRUCTIONS INCLUDING
SAFETY PRECAUTIONS ON PAGE 5.
IMPROPER INSTALLATION CAN BE DANGEROUS, AND MAY ALSO
RESULT IN PERMANENT DAMAGE TO THE SYSTEM WHICH IS NOT
COVERED UNDER WARRANTY
.
THE FOLLOWING ITEMS ARE INCLUDED IN THIS PACKAGE:
(1) P449 Series Compressor Pump Assembly including air gauge, safety
valve and 1/4” tube fitting installed
1. Arrange compressor, tank, and air horn in such a way as to keep air line runs as
short as possible. It is best to mount the valve (whether electric or manually
operated) directly to horn with 1/8” N.P.T. nipple, provided. See additional valve
instructions enclosed if you have purchased a Kahlenberg valve. The kit provides
you with 8’ of ¼” SAE J844 brake line tube (for installation between pump and
tank) and 15’ of 5/16” tube (for installation between tank and horn operating
valve). Some custom O.E.M. kits provide longer lengths of tubing. Lengths up to
50’ between the tank and valve may be used and can be purchased from
Kahlenberg or your local industrial supply store. Use ONLY ¼” SAE J844 tube
or equivalent between compressor and tank. Use connectors already installed on
compressor and tank. Cut tube off square with razor or sharp knife and push
firmly into connector. To disconnect, press in on red connector collar and pull
tube out. This provides a simple, airtight flexible connection.
