inlet to remote inlet air filter. Make sure that the remote inlet air filter is located in a
dry location, away from water. You will also want to select a compressor mounting
location where the leader hose bracket can be mounted to secure the 2 ft. leader hose.
• If it is necessary to mount the air compressor further from the battery, such as inside
your vehicle or in the bed of your pickup, use a minimum 10 AWG positive lead wire
for remote installation.
• Do not mount compressor near areas where flammable liquids are stored.
Compressor Wiring:
1. Disconnect ground cable from vehicle’s battery.
2. Temporarily position the air compressor in the location where it will be mounted.
3. Route ground wire to the negative post of the battery or to an appropriate grounding
point and cut ground wire to length as needed.
4. Mount the air compressor with the four sets of 13/64” (5 mm) bolts, nuts, washers,
and locking washers provided. Use of thread locker is recommended.
5. NOTE: For Remote Inlet Air Filter Installation, refer to Remote Inlet Air Filter
Installation Instruction included in the Remote Inlet Air Filter Pack.
6. This air compressor comes with a heavy duty heat resistant stainless steel braided
leader hose with ¼” fittings. This leader hose is designed to prolong the life of your
air line. Do not remove this leader hose from air compressor.
7. IMPORTANT: Please note; the leader hose that came with your compressor has a
built-in inline check valve. Do not remove inline check valve from leader hose.
8. Select a proper location to mount leader hose with hose bracket provided. Avoid
locations where leader hose may become tangled with wires and other hoses.
9. To mount hose bracket, drill holes with 3/16” drill bit and push self–anchoring hose
bracket pin into hole. Route leader hose through hose bracket and secure hose by
pressing bracket clamp into locked position.
10. To remove hose from the hose bracket, simply press down on the hose clamp release
tab to release bracket clamp.
11. Connect compressor’s positive lead wire to one of the leads of your pressure switch.
12. Make sure that your compressor setup is properly fused. The compressor pulls
approximately 14 maximum amps of power.
13. Always locate fuse as close as possible to power source.
14. Before connecting to power source, check to make sure that all connections are made
properly.
15. Connect and test compressor system by running the compressor for a short time to
build up pressure in your air tank.
16. Once air pressure reaches the preset cut out pressure of your pressure switch, the
compressor will shut off. Inspect all air line connections for leaks with soap and
water solution. If a leak is detected, the air line may not be cut squarely or pushed all
the way in. Tighten connections if needed.
17. Always use a “switched” power source that only supplies power to your compressor
when the vehicle is running.
