Safety Tips and Important Information
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING: To prevent injury:
Caution: To prevent the risk of electric shock or electrocution:
•Do not disassemble any electrical components of this horn kit (air compressor, air valve, pressure switch).
•Do not attempt repairs or modifications of any component. Please refer to qualified service agencies for all
service and repairs.
•Do not operate any component where it can fall or be submerged into water or any kind of liquid.
•Do not reach for any component that has fallen or been submerged into water or any kind of liquid.
•Use the included components with 12 volt DC systems only.
•Do not leave the air system unattended during use.
•Never allow children to operate the compressor or air horn. Use close supervision when operating this
equipment near children or animals.
•The air compressor will become very HOT during and immediately after operation. Do not touch any part of
the compressor with your bare hands during or immediately after use.
•Do not use this product near open flames or explosive materials or where aerosol products are being used.
•Do not operate this product where oxygen is being administered.
•Do not pump anything other than atmospheric air.
•Never use this product while sleepy or drowsy.
•Do not use any tools or attachments with the supplied air source unit without first determining maximum air
pressure for that tool or attachment.
•Never point any air nozzle or air sprayer toward another person or any part of your body.
•The included compressor is equipped with an automatic reset thermal protector and can automatically
restart after the thermal protector resets. Always cut off power source when thermal protector becomes
activated.
•Use only in well ventilated areas.
•Do not sound the air horn(s) in close proximity to another person’s or your own ear(s).
•Do not fill the included air tank above 150 PSI. Doing so may result in death or serious injury.
•Disconnect the battery negative cable before doing anything. Failure to disconnect this terminal can lead to
damaged electrical components.
•Use eye protection when operating drills or other power tools during the install.
•Ensure the parking brake is engaged before you get underneath the vehicle.
•Do not wire the system without the fuse holder.
•Do not allow the compressor to run when the vehicle is off.

Relocating the Air Filter

Start by locating the hardware that was packaged with your air compressor. You should have a set of mounting
hardware, two barb fittings, and an air filter housing. A picture of each fitting is shown below for reference.
Plumb the male threaded barb fitting into the compressor's inlet port. Do not use teflon tape
on this fitting as the compressor can suck in pieces of the tape and clog up the internals.
The other fitting (female thread) can be plumbed onto the filter housing directly. The
compressor/filter should look like the image below. At this point, you can use the supplied
air line that was packaged with the compressor to connect the compressor and filter
together.
**This line is not meant to hold pressure. Do not use this for anything other than the
filter.

(Male & Female)
Filter Housing
Relocation Air Line
The air filter can be routed up behind
the rear bumper. If possible, try to
position it above a crossmember. If
not, the placement shown above is
acceptable.
The air filter can also be
routed up above the spare
tire crank mechanism. This
offers great protection from
dirt/moisture.
If possible, route the filter up in
between the outer body of the truck
and the inner part of the bed. This
cavity offers the best protection from
moisture/dirt.

Good Cut Bad Cut Ensure each air line is fully seated over the compression fitting
before tightening the nut down over it. If the line is not fully seated
over the barb, it can slip off the fitting even with the nut in place.
Firmly hold the line in place and use a wrench to tighten the
compression ferrule down. The line will not seal properly if you
don't hold it down in place while tightening the nut. It will slip off!
The horn will sound very weak if the line isn't seated properly.
If the line is too stiff, you can heat it up to make it more malleable.
Don't over-do it on the heat as it will melt at a certain point.
*Take note of the air line to the left. If the line is not cut flush, it will
not seal and will create a leak directly out of the tank.
Use a flathead screwdriver to pry
the filter housing apart. You can
insert the flat end of the
screwdriver into seam, where the
arrow is
Remove the old filter element
from the housing. Insert the new
element into the center so that
the white portion of the filter lines
up with the plastic tabs. Replace
the cover back over the housing,
lining the tabs up on the sides of
the cover.
The compressor filter must be
changed out every 2-3 months,
otherwise the compressor will
start to pull in dirt/dust and wear
prematurely.

Preparing For the Install (continued)
Recommended Install Locations for Trucks (Compressor)
Recommended Install Locations (Horns)
•The toolbox is a great location for the compressor. Do not use the toolbox as a grounding point.
•Mounting the compressor/tank in the bed (if covered) is a great option. There's plenty of room available and
mounting the compressor will help it run cooler and save space in your toolbox.
•The engine bay is a good spot for the compressor as long as you keep it away from the exhaust manifold and
engine block. The compressor must remain upright and attached to the tank as well.
•The compressor CANNOT be mounted upside down! Sideways or upright only!!!
•You can mount these horns underneath the bed or in the bed itself.
•If you face the horns forward when mounted underneath they may pickup some dirt/dust from the road. This
is normal and will not damage the horn. Make sure to honk the horns regularly to keep any buildup or dust/
dirt out of the horn assembly.

Wiring Instructions
Wiring the Relay
Pin 87: This pin will connect to the battery positive terminal. You MUST use the supplied 10-gauge RED wire
for this connection. Use the supplied tan or green terminal to connect the red wire to this pin. Cut the fuse
holder wire in half at the center point. Connect one end to the battery positive terminal. Connect the other end
to a lead of 10 ga. red power wire that runs back to the relay.
Pin 86: This pin will connect to a key-power source. You are looking to connect this pin to any circuit that is
ONLY ON WHEN THE VEHICLE IS ON. This will prevent your kit from running when the vehicle is off.
Common key-power sources include the cigarette lighter fuse, sunroof, radio, trailer running lights, daytime
running lights, etc. You can use any circuit that is rated for 5A or less. The relay only needs a fraction of an
amp to operate.
Pin 85: Route a lead from this pin to the frame of the vehicle as a ground point. You may use the supplied Blue
or Grey wire for this connection. You can use a wire brush on the frame or bed coating to ensure a good
connection to metal is made.
Pin 30: Take the red lead coming off the compressor/tank combo and connect it directly to this pin.
Your relay is now wired and ready for use. You can use a small lead of wire to connect pins 30 & 86 together to
test the relay. If you have this wired correctly, the relay should make a light 'click' sound when the two pins are
connected. This means the relay is turning on and off properly. When you start the vehicle, it will send power to
pin 86 and turn the relay on, which will allow the compressor to run.
Key-Power-Source (Normal Method)
If you're having trouble locating a fuse that is only hot when the vehicle is on, you can go online to https://
fuse-box.info/. You can use a test light to check whether or not the fuses are hot with the key in the off
position. Route the black probe/clip to the battery negative terminal (-) and use the red probe on the metal
contacts of the fuse(s) you want to check. If the light comes on, your fuse is hot. If the light does not turn
on, start the vehicle and check for current. The light should illuminate now that the vehicle is running.
Using A Toggle Switch Instead of a Key Power Source
If you can't find a good key power source, you can use a toggle switch instead to manually stop the
compressor from running. To do this, locate the supplied toggle switch that came with your horn kit. Wire
one lead of the toggle switch to +12v power and take the opposite lead of the toggle switch to pin 86 on the
relay. When you flip the switch on, the relay will switch on and allow the compressor run. Wiring your kit
this way means that you MUST turn the switch off with the vehicle, otherwise the compressor could run
overnight and drain your battery.
