independent of the tank, remove the four screws that
secure the compressor to the tank, then disconnect
the braided hose from the tank. You will now be able
to separate the compressor from the tank.

connection.

Locate a convenient location to mount the
compressor that will be dry. If the location
is the engine compartment make sure
the compressor is safe from the heat of
the exhaust manifold and try to mount
compressor as far to the front of vehicle as
possible to provide optimum airflow around
compressor. IMPORTANT! Do not mount
on a plastic fender well, or on flexible
material.

a template, mark the hole locations and
drill to size, use a 3/16" drill bit. Secure the
compressor to the mounting surface using
the hardware provided. (Fig. 2A)

be easily reachable so that the tank
