STEP 1 - SELECT A MOUNTING LOCATION FOR THE CONTROL PANEL

Select a mounting surface under the dashboard or other protected location. Using the control panel as a template, mark each of the mounting points with a center punch. Drill a 3/16" diameter hole on each center mark see Figure "B". Do not attach the control panel at this time.

STEP 2 - PREPARE THE COMPRESSOR

Install the rubber isolator feet to the compressor from the bottom of the compressor foot. Insert the brass sleeve into the top of the rubber isolator foot see Figure "C". Install the push-to-connect male fitting into the threaded exhaust port on the compressor head see Figure "A". Tighten the fitting sufficiently to engage at least two threads with pre-applied orange thread sealant. DO NOT OVERTIGHTEN THE FITTING. Install the air filter into the threaded inlet port on the compressor head (finger tight).

STEP 3 - MOUNT THE COMPRESSOR

Begin by removing the negative battery cable. Select a convenient location to mount the compressor. This location should provide ample air flow and be protected from airborne debris and moisture. The mounting surface should be rigid to support the compressor, such as under the hood on a fender well or in a vented storage compartment. The compressor is oil-less and can be mounted in any orientation necessary for installation.

Using the compressor template and a center punch, mark and drill three 3/16" holes. Any burrs in the holes should be removed to prevent damage to the rubber isolators. Mount the compressor using the supplied 10 -32 x 1" machine screws, 10 -32 lock nuts, and 3/16" washers see Figure "C". Maximum vibration isolation can be achieved by properly mounting the compressor. The machine screw and nut should be tightened only enough to bottom-out the brass insert see Figure "C". DO NOT OVERTIGHTEN. Overtightening will crush the brass insert and the rubber isolator, thereby reducing vibration isolation.

STEP 4 - ROUTE THE AIR LINE

Before installing the air line tubing, ensure that there is no pressure in the air springs. To release the air pressure, remove the valve core from the manual inflation valves or release the pressure by using a tire gauge to depress the valve stem.

A)COMPRESSOR TO CONTROL PANEL

Cut a piece of air line tubing that will reach from the control panel to the compressor. Cut the air line tubing as squarely as possible and install the tubing on to the barbed fitting on the back of the switch marked SUP (supply) see Figures "A" & "D". Before attaching the air line tubing to the control panel, soak the end (1") of the air line in warm water for a few minutes to soften the tubing. Do not use pliers to work the tubing on to the barbed fitting, as the tubing may be damaged. It may be necessary to drill a hole in the firewall to route the tubing. Do not fold or kink the tubing. Ensure that the tubing is protected from sharp edges when passing through the firewall.

B)CONTROL PANEL TO AIR SPRINGS

Cut a length of air line tubing that will reach from the control panel to the rear of the vehicle. Slide the tubing as far as possible onto the barbed fitting marked DEL (delivery) on the back of the paddle switch see Figures "A" & "D". Before attaching the air line tubing to the barbed fitting on the gauge panel, soak the end of the tube (1") in hot water for a few minutes to soften the tubing. Do not use pliers to work the tubing on to the barbed fitting, as the tubing may be damaged. Install a T-fitting on the opposite end of the tubing at the rear of the vehicle. Route a length of air line tubing from the T-fitting to each air spring. Use the suppled nylon ties to secure the tubing to the vehicle. Make sure that the tubing is protected from sharp edges when passing through the firewall.
