2 Installing the Compressor
8
NOTE : ARB does not recommend connecting the compressor intake to the air
supply in a ‘snorkel’ or other part of the air ducting for engine aspiration.
However, if an extension tube is used to relocate the compressor intake to
the engine intake supply then it must be understood that the negative
pressure (vacuum) created by the engine when it is running will adversely
affect compressor performance.
IF THE COMPRESSOR INTAKE IS CONNECTED TO THE ENGINE INTAKE
THEN DO NOT RUN THE COMPRESSOR FOR APPLICATIONS OTHER THAN
ENGAGING AN AIR LOCKER WHILE THE ENGINE IS RUNNING.
NOTE : Do not run the tube through areas where it will be exposed to elevated
temperatures while the compressor is running as this will pre-heat the air
intake and reduce compressor performance.
F Assemble an extension tube with a ¼” NPT male fitting at one end and a ¼” NPT female
end at the other.
F Install the tube inline with the air filter.
NOTE : If the extension tube is being used due to the possibility of the compressor
being exposed to water then Teflon tape or thread sealant should be used
on the threads of the extension tube at the compressor end.
F Secure loose sections of the tube and the air filter.
HINT : The air filter assembly may be easily panel mounted if desired by securing
the air filter base using the 2 bosses located on the inside of the filter base
for countersunk screws.
