SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

Do not attempt to disassemble, repair or customize this product.

Avoid setting up any parts of this product where there is a risk of falling off or risk of coming in contact with water.

Avoid reaching out to touch or pick up any fallen or water submerged parts.

Never leave this product unattended during use.

Intended for use by adults only.

During and immediately after use, avoid touching any part of the compressor with bare hands as it is very hot

during such periods.

Avoid use of product near flames, explosive materials, aerosol products or oxygen devices.

Be sure to pump nothing other than atmospheric air.

Air sprayer or nozzle should always be pointed away from any part of the body.

The compressor has Thermal Overload Protection, if this protection activates, cut off the source of power and let

the unit cool down for about 30 minutes. This will reset the system and allow you to safely resume use of the air

compressor.

Make sure your battery ground is detached before you begin.

Never use in areas with poor ventilation.

Employ equipment for eye protection during drilling operations.

Ensure that your air system has no pressure before you begin.

The specific voltage requirement for these compressors is 12 volt DC, therefore installation must be done to a

DC power source of 12 volts.

MOUNTING

Determine a dry place to mount your compressors. If you have chosen to install in the engine compartment,

you should mount it as close to the front as possible to allow for maximum flow of air around them and also to

avoid heat from the exhaust. IMPORTANT: Never attach the compressors to any plastic or other flexible

material.

For optimal results, the compressors should be placed as close to the battery as possible. This will reduce the

amount of wiring needed.

Avoid placing compressors near flammable liquids.

If you are planning to move compressor’s air intake to an area other than where the compressors were

installed, make sure your placement allows for the airlines to be routed from the air inlet of the compressors

to the remote inlet air filters.

Mark the spots for the holes with the mounting base as a guide and then drill. Make sure both compressors

are secured.

To enhance performance and make sure the battery of your vehicle doesn’t discharge, keep the engine

running while the compressor is being used.

BRAIDED HOSE INSTALLATION

Connect the stainless steel braided hose of the compressors to the tank’s inlet ports.

IMPORTANT: The tank’s inlet ports must be 3/8" N.P.T. (National Pipe Thread).

CHECK VALVE

The check valve is an important part of the air compressor and has only one function: to let air flow from one

side to the other, in this case from the compressor to the tank, while blocking air flow in the opposite direction.

REMOTE AIR FILTER INSTALLATION KIT

Only use if you need to move compressor’s air intake to an area other than where the compressor was installed.

A. Braided Hose Bracket with Self-Anchoring Pin (1 pc)

B. 3/8" NPT Female x 3/8" Barbed Tube Fitting (1 pc)

C. 3/8" NPT Male x 3/8" Barbed Tube Fitting (1 pc)

D. 3/8" OD Air Line (1 pc)

E. Air Line Clips (3 pcs)

F. Air Line Clips Screws (3 pcs)

G. Remote Inlet Air Filter with Filter Element (1 pc)

H. Remote Filter Holder with Self-Anchoring Pin (1 pc)

I. Filter Elements (2 pcs)

J. Remote Filter Holder Screws (2 pcs)

10 feet of air line is enclosed for attaching the remote air filter.

Find an installation location for the remote air filter, ensuring that the location should be dry and far from a

heat source.

Use a hose cutter, a razor blade, or a sharp knife when trimming the airline. A clean, square cut is optimal.

IMPORTANT: Do not use wire cutters or scissors to cut the air line, these tools may flatten or crimp the air

line causing it to leak.

Place the airline all the way onto the barbed fittings or at least, until it covers two ridges and starts routing the

air line.

ELECTRICAL CONNECTION

Red wire (positive) of the compressor is connected to PIN 87 on the relay. IMPORTANT: Make sure to use

wire that is as heavy as the wire of the compressor

Black wire (negative) of the compressor and PIN 85 of the relay are connected to ground.

Repeat above steps for the second compressor.

Connect together PIN 86 of both relays and then connect it to one of the terminal of the pressure switch.

Attach the remaining terminal of the pressure switch to a power source in the vehicle that only gets power

when the vehicle’s ignition is on. Recommended connection points are: windshield wiper motor, blower motor

or an accessory terminal on the fuse panel. Make sure to use wire that is as heavy as the wire of the

compressor.

Connect together PIN 30 of both relays and connect it to a constant power source using the provided 60A

fuse.

Both compressors are now set for use and will turn on automatically when air pressure in the air tank falls.

When air pressure reaches maximum PSI, they will turn off. If compressors fails to reach the maximum air

pressure of the tank, which is the Pressure Switch's cut OFF pressure, check all air connections for leaks.

While compressor are pumping, use soapy water or any bubble solution to perform this check. In case the

leak remains after tightening, re-apply thread sealant.

NOTE: To makes installation fast, trouble free and professional, this kit comes with two Pre-wired Relay Plugs

(one for each relay), they will attach to the relay only in one position.

PRESSURE SWITCH

The included pressure switch has a rating of 170 PSI ON, 200 PSI OFF. When the air pressure in the air tank

is below the preset ON pressure (170 PSI), the compressor will automatically turn on and will start pumping

air into the tank. When the pressure reaches the cut OFF pressure (200 PSI), the compressor will be

automatically shut off.

MAINTENANCE

Make sure that electrical and fitting connections are regularly inspected, cleaned and tightened when needed.

Make sure mounting screws are regularly tightened if needed.

Compressors features a washable air filter which should be cleaned using any mild form of liquid soap every

two months if it gets dusty. Just remove the front cover of the filter’s housing to reach it. Replacement time

frames depend on the operating environment and how often it is used.

Clean dirt and dust from heat spreader and motor housing of the compressor.

The motor of the air compressors has a maintenance-free lasting lubricant. DO NOT LUBRICATE.

SOLUTIONS TO COMMON ISSUES

Issue: Compressor inoperable.

Solution 1: Check all switches to make sure they are ON.

Solution 2: Check the fuse; if blown, disconnect compressor from power and replace the fuse.

Solution 3: Allow compressor to cool off for 30-60 minutes.

Solution 4: Check pressure switch, replace if damaged or inoperable.

Issue: Excessive moisture in suspensions valves or safety valve.

Solution 1: Depressurize and drain the tank.

Solution 2: Relocate the compressor to a drier location.

Issue: Continual cutting-off of Thermal overload protection.

Solution 1: Relocate the compressor to a drier, cooler location.

Solution 2: Replace the compressor.

Issue: Excessive vibration or noise

Solution 1: Tighten system components.

Solution 2: Replace the compressor.

Issue: Loss of pressure of tank when compressor is shut off.

Solution 1: Tighten drain cock.

Solution 2: Examine the check valve and replace if damaged or leaking.

Solution 3: Use soap and water solution on air connections, and tighten connections or repair leaks where needed.

Solution 4: Replace safety valve if present in the tank, it may be defective.

Issue: Compressor runs continuously and has low air flow.

Solution 1: Decrease the frequency of use.

Solution 2: Use soap and water solution on air connections, and tighten connections or repair leaks where needed.

Solution 3: Clean or replace the air filter element if it is clogged.

Solution 4: Replace compressor.
