STEP 2
– POSITION AIR COMPRESSORS
MOUNTING LOCATION
Select a mounting position considering the following:
1. Mounting surface needs to be
Flat, Rigid and Secure (preferably horizontal).
2. As
close to the Battery
as possible. It is better to use more air line tubing than more electrical wiring as longer runs of wiring
require heavier wiring to maintain voltage.
3.
Cool location
away from
Heat Sources
with good
natural ventilation
.
4.
Protected location
- avoid positions that objects may strike and where excessive dust or debris can collect.
5.
Water ingress
will damage the air compressor - the air filter may need remote mounting in an elevated position, away from
the elements.
The outlet of the compressor must be routed to ensure condensation does not drain back to the compressor.
Air compressors get hot - avoid any flammable liquid or burn risk areas.
STEP 3
– MOUNT AIR COMPRESSORS
1. Disconnect ground (-i.e. earth) cable from the vehicle's
battery(s).
2. Temporarily position the air compressors where they will be
mounted and mark the mounting bolt hole positions. Check air
filter position and hose routing as required.
3. Mount the air compressors using the supplied bolts, washers
and nuts as shown.
NOTE:
The rubber isolators must be orientated correctly for best
performance, refer to the specific compressor installation

STEP 4
– CONNECT AIR COMPRESSORS INLET FILTERS
1. Confirm the air filter configuration based on the compressor
mounting location.
2. If in a protected location the filter can be mounted directly to the
compressor inlet as shown to the right.
3. If the compressor is mounted where water or debris ingress
may occur the air filter must be remote mounted using the
supplied parts as shown below. The same barb connection
technique can be used as shown for the paddle switches.
4. Ensure air filter and airline mounting is secure and leak free.
The air filter element must be checked regularly and
replaced as required. A blocked air filter will effect
compressor performance and lead to compressor failure
which is not covered under warranty.
