4. s engine running while using the air compressor Compressor Maintenance amp Repairs D BAR E Periodically check all electrical and fitting connections Periodically check all mounting hardware Replace air filter element periodically depending on operating conditions Regularly clean dust and dirt from compressor exterior to avoid heat buildup Never lubricate the compressor using any oil or other lubricant Repair should not be performed by end user Refer to Manufacturer CAUTION Never touch the air compressor or fittings connected to the air compressor with bare hands during or immediately after use Leader hose and fittings will become very HOT during and after use Compressor Installation Tips 1 Using the remote mount air filter will reduce operation noise by up to 25 3 Always mount the compressor at a point higher than the inlet port of the tank to keep moisture from being able to seep back to the compressor 4 When mounting the compressor use a paint pen on the rubber isolators Then simply stamp the compressor against the chassis to make an imprint of exactly where to drill the mounting holes for the compressor Testing Your System Run the compressor to build pressure in the air tank When air pressure reaches the pressure switch cut out pressure the compressor will shut off Inspect all air line connections for leaks by spraying a soap and water solution on them and looking for bubbles If leaks are detected re at
5. tach hoses or apply Kleinn Air horn Juice to re seal Periodically check your system s fittings this way if your compressor turns on more often than normal without air use When Installing This Air Compressor For Use with Air Horns When installing for use with air horns the air compressor system and horns are considered to be TWO SEPARATE SYSTEMS The only thing that connects the two systems together is the air line that supplies the air solenoid attached to the air horn with air stored in the tank Installing an Air Horn Solenoid Note the solenoid valve must NOT be connected to the relay used in the air system To wire the horn solenoid for use select one of the wires on the air horn solenoid and ground it The second wire will be routed to the button that you will use to honk the air horn On the back of the horn button use the second terminal and route to 12 volt power and fused at 5 amps per solenoid at the battery
