INSTALLATION

Please read and follow the installation instructions carefully to avoid injury or damage to the compressor and your vehicle. Each of our air compressors and parts have been carefully produced and packaged. Before you begin installation, please familiarize yourself with Installation Parts List (Fig.

1. of this manual.

Selecting a Mounting Location:
The selection of proper mounting location for your air compressor will help ensure a long and trouble free compressor service life. Please pay close attention to the following guidelines:

1. Select a FLAT, UPRIGHT AND SECURE location where the compressor can be mounted.

2. To maximize air compressor performance, locate compressor as CLOSE TO THE BATTERY as possible so that length of positive lead wire required is at a minimum.

3. Choose mounting location that is as cool as possible and AWAY FROM HEAT SOURCES.
   The cooler the ambient temperature the less chance the compressor will overheat.

4. This compressor is moisture & splash resistant, but NOT WATER OR DUST PROOF. Do not mount compressor in locations where the unit is likely to come in contact with water.

5. If it is necessary to mount the air compressor further away from the battery, such as inside your vehicle or in the bed of your pickup, use a minimum 16 AWG positive lead wire for remote installation. (See wire gauge reference chart)

6. Do not mount compressor near areas where flammable liquids are stored.

MOUNTING AND WIRING

1. Disconnect Temporarily ground position cable the 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 air compressor with the four sets of 0.15″ (4mm) bolt, nuts, washers, and locking washers and rubber washers provided. (See Fig. 1 for Mounting Instructions) Use of thread sealant recommended.
5. Connect compressor’s positive lead wire to one of the leads of your pressure switch.
6. Make sure that your compressor setup is properly fused. For appropriate fuse size, refer to-Amp draw of compressor in the specifications section of this manual.
7. Always locate fuse as close as possible to power source.
8. Before connecting to power source, re-check to make sure a that all connections are properly connected.
9. Connect and test compressor system by running the compressor for a short time to build up pressure in your air tank.
10. Once air pressure reaches 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. Fix air fitting connections as needed.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

1. IMPORTANT: Always operate the compressor at or below the MAXIMUM PRESSURE RATING of the compressor. Please refer to Application & Specifications Sections of this manual for details.

2. Always observe the MAXIMUM DUTY CYCLE of the air compressor. Refer to Compressor
   Applications and Specifications Sections of this manual for details. Operation exceeding maximum pressure ratings and/or duty cycle will result in damage to the air compressor.

3. To prevent discharge of your vehicle’s battery, we strongly recommend that you keep the vehicle’s engine running while using the air compressor. ONLY OPERATE THE AIR COMPRESSOR IN WELL-VENTILATED AREAS. Compressor performance is also enhanced when operating compressor with vehicle’s engine running.

MAINTENANCE & REPAIRS

1. Periodically check all electrical and fitting connections. Clean and tighten as needed.

2. Periodically check all mounting screws. Tighten as needed.

3. Regularly clean dust and dirt from compressor cooling fins and motor housing.

4. Your air compressor is equipped with permanently lubricated, maintenance-free motor.
   Never try to lubricate compressor.

5. All repairs should be performed by Manufacturer or Manufacturer’s Authorized Service Agencies only.

CAUTION:
Never touch the air compressor or fittings connected to the air compressor with bare hands during or immediately after use. The compressor will become very hot during and after use. If necessary,wear heat resistant gloves.
PLEASE NOTE:
Use thread sealant for proper installation. Thread tape is not recommended.
Properly sealed, recommended torque for 1/8″ NPT fittings is 10 to 11ft. lbs.

COMPRESSOR APPLICATION GUIDE
To ensure that you get the highest level of satisfaction from your compressor performance, refer to information below:

VIAIR® COMPRESSOR REFERENCE CHART
COMPRESSOR SERIES MAX. WORKING DUTY CYCLE

COMPRESSOR SERIES MAX. WORKING DUTY CYCLE

100% @ 200 PSI

ABOUT COMPRESSOR DUTY CYCLE:

Duty cycle refers to the amount of time a compressor can be operated in a given time period at 100 PSI, and a standard ambient temperature of 72° F. It is commonly expressed in percentage format: Compressor on time ÷ (on time + off time) = Duty Cycle%.

NOTE: All compressors, regardless of rated duty cycle, require sufficient rest time in between cycles to allow for partial or complete heat dissipation. Heat dissipation rates may vary depending on ambient temperatures and operating conditions.

ABOUT RATED WORKING PRESSURE:
To ensure trouble free service life of your compressor, always operate compressor within rated working pressure of the compressor. Never use a pressure switch with a higher cut-off pressure than compressor’s rated working pressure.
