Product Usage Instructions

• Safety Instructions:
  • Use equipment for eye protection during drilling operations.
• Horn Mounting:
  • Identify a suitable area for mounting, preferably an unobstructed sheet-metal surface like the frame or body of the vehicle.
  • Avoid attaching the horn to any plastic or other flexible material.
  • Use the bracket as a guide to estimate and mark the positions for the holes, then perforate to size using a drill.
  • Fasten the horn using the provided mounting hardware.
• Compressors Mounting:
  • Install the compressors in a dry area inside the engine compartment, away from exhaust and engine manifold heat.
  • Drill a hole of 3/16 inch to secure each compressor vertically (with air exhaust port on top).
  • Tighten the compressors firmly to the vehicle using the provided lock washer and nut.
• Air Line Installation:
  • If you only received one airline, cut it into three pieces.
  • Connect one side of the first airline to the compressor’s air exhaust port and the other side to one of the fittings in the barbed splitter.
  • Repeat the above step using the second airline to connect the second compressor to another fitting in the barbed splitter.
  • Connect one side of the remaining airline to the horn’s barbed fitting and the other end to the remaining fitting in the barbed splitter.
  • Avoid sharp bends or kinks in the tubing which could alter the sound of the horn or restrict airflow.
• Electrical Connections (Factory Horn Switch):
  • If your vehicle has a two-terminal factory horn, transfer the wires to the compressor’s terminals. If the horn doesn’t sound even if the compressor motor turns on, reverse the wires.
  • If your vehicle has one-terminal factory horns, transfer the wire to the compressor’s positive (+) terminals. Connect thenegative (-) terminal to ground using a 16-gauge wire or heavier.
• Electrical Connections (New Horn Button):
  • In a dry location, install the provided relay with terminals facing downwards near the horn.
  • Connect PIN 87 of the relay to the positive (+) terminals of the compressors using a 16-gauge wire or heavier.
  • Connect PIN 85 of the relay to the horn button (not provided). Connect the other horn button terminal to any rust and paint-free metal for grounding using an 18-gauge wire or heavier.
  • Connect PIN 30 and 86 of the relay to the battery, alternator, or other positive (+) 12-volt source.
  • Ensure the connections are secure and properly insulated.

INSTALLATION

BEFORE BEGINNING YOUR INSTALLATION
Read through the instruction guide before getting started with the installation. Professional installation is recommended for this product.

CONTENTS

• Triple Trumpet Horn (Chrome Color)
• 12V Heavy Duty Air Compressor x 2
• 4-PIN 12V/30A Relay
• 3/8″ OD Air Line
• Y Barbed Splitter
• Mounting Hardware

The specific voltage requirement for this horn kit is 12 volt DC, therefore installation must be done to a DC power source of 12 volts.

SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

• Make sure you never attempt to disassemble this horn kit’s electrical components.
• Never use your bare hands to any part of the compressor immediately after or during use.
• Avoid operating this product in an area with risk of falling or submergence into a liquid (water).
• Do not reach out for or touch any component that has fallen or been submerged into water.
• Make sure you set up in areas with good ventilation.
• Never sound the air horn anywhere near your ear(s) or that of another person.
• Make sure your battery ground is detached before getting your installation started.
• Employ equipment for eye protection during drilling operations.

HORN MOUNTING

• Identify a suitable area for mounting, preferably an unobstructed sheet-metal surface like the frame or body of the vehicle so as to provide a firm platform which will help protect the horn from damage due to excessive shaking. Do not attach the horn to any plastic or other flexible material.
• Using the bracket as a guide estimate and mark the positions for the holes and then perforate to size using a drill.
• Use the provided mounting hardware to fasten the horn.

COMPRESSORS MOUNTING

• The ideal location for the compressors to be installed is a dry area inside your engine compartment where they will be safe from exhaust and engine manifold heat.
• To make the compressor firm and secure, drill a hole of 3/16″. IMPORTANT: The compressor must be mounted vertically (with air exhaust port on top).
• Install the bolt’s head into the compressor housing’s slot. Tighten the compressor firmly to the vehicle with the provided lock washer and nut. Repeat the steps to mount the second compressor.

AIR LINE INSTALLATION

• If you only received one airline this one needs to be cut in three pieces.
• Using one of the airlines, connect one side to the compressor’s air exhaust port and the other side to one of the fittings in the barbed splitter.
• Using a second airline repeat the step above to connect the second compressor to another fitting in the barbed splitter.
• Connect one side of the remaining airline to the horn’s barbed fitting and the other end to the remaining fitting in the barbed splitter.
• Do not make any sharp bends or kinks in the tubing which could alter the sound of the horn or even restrict airflow.

ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS (FACTORY HORN SWITCH)

• For vehicles with a two-terminal factory horn, transfer the wires to the compressor’s terminals. If the horn doesn’t sound even if the compressor motor turns on, simply reverse the wires.
• For vehicles with one-terminal factory horns, make sure you transfer the wire to the compressor’s positive (+) terminals. The negative (-) terminal uses a 16-gauge wire or heavier to connect to ground.

ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS (NEW HORN BUTTON)

• In a dry location, install the relay provided making sure that terminals face downwards near the horn.
• Using a 16-gauge wire or heavier, connect PIN 87 of the relay to the positive (+) terminals of the compressors.
• Connect PIN 85 of the relay to the horn button (not provided). The other horn button terminal is attached to any rust and paint free metal to ground. Connect using an 18-gauge wire or heavier.
• Connect PIN 30 and 86 of the relay to the battery, alternator or other positive (+) of 12-volts. Make sure the wire used is a 16-gauge wire or heavier. Use a 20A fuse (not provided) to protect the electrical circuit.
