NOTE ON CONNECTING AIR LINETUBING
Cut the air line tubing as squarely as possible. To connect the air
line tubing to the fittings push the tubing into the fittings as far as
possible. If for any reason the tubing must be removed the collar of
thefitting can bepushedtowardthe body ofthefitting and thetubing
can be removed. Make sure the air helper springs are deflated. To
reassemblemakesurethetubingiscutsquarelyandpushbackintothe
fitting.
STEP 1
Locate the brass "T" fittings as shown in Figure "A". This fitting
has a preapplied thread sealant on the male threads. No additional
sealant is required.
Install the male threaded end into the compressor head as shown
in Figure "A". Tighten finger tight PLUS 3 1/2 turns. Next get the
pressureswitchfromyourhardwarepack. Screwthepressureswitch
into the "T" fitting as shown in Figure "A". Then attach the positive
(RED)wirefromthecompressortooneoftheterminalsonthepressure
switch. Installtherubberisolatorsandbrasssleevestothecompressor
feet (see Figure "B").
STEP 2
Select a convenient location for mounting the compressor. This
location should provide ample air flow and be protected from most airborne debris. The surface should be rigid to
supporttheunit. Someexamplesmightincludeunderthehoodonafenderwell,orinaventedstoragecompartment.
Using the template supplied, mark and drill three 1/4" holes. It is
recommendedthatburrsberemovedfromtheholessoasnottodamage
the rubber isolator. Mount the compressor using the #10 pan head
machine screws and #10 flat washers located in your hardware pack.

the vehicle frame should be suitable.
STEP 3
Get the air tank and mount two 1/4" NPT male connectors into the air tank ports (see Figure "A").
Selectalocationformountingtheairtank. Thislocationshouldbeprotectedtopreventdamagefromflyingrocks
or debris. Mark and drill two 7/16" holes 2-1/2" apart. Bolt the tank in place using the 3/8"-16 x 1-1/2" hex bolts,
washers and lock nuts provided. Be sure clear access is provided to the two air ports. (SEE CAUTION NOTE).
CAUTION:

injury or property damage. Do not exceed 120 psi in the tank.

or angled cut can cause a leak in the system. Do not fold or kink the air line tubing.
