Compressor Mounting Position Tips
-
We recommend mounting the compressor inside of the vehicle cab.
-
Allow for easy access to the compressor.
-
Avoid sources of heat or extended exposure to direct sunlight.
-
Avoid sources of moisture and make sure the mounting location is high enough to prevent submerging in the event of a deep water crossing.
-
The mounting position must allow the compressor to have a free flow of fresh, dry cool air.
-
The compressor must be mounting securely using all supplied mounting hardware.
-
Do not mount the compressor near devices that are susceptible to electromagnetic fields from DC motors.
-
