Do not mount compressor in locations where the unit is likely to come in contact with water. 5. For remote filter mounting, select compressor mounting location where air line can be routed from compressor air inlet to remote inlet air filter. Make sure Remote Inlet Air Filter is located in a dry location, away from the elements. 6. You will also want to select compressor mounting location where the leader hose bracket can be mounted to secure the leader hose. 7. If it is necessary to mount air compressors further away from the battery, such as inside your vehicle or on the chassis of a pickup, use a minimum 8 AWG positive lead wire for remote installation. 8. Do not mount compressor near areas where flammable liquids are stored. 9. VIAIR suggests the use of a 40-amp rated relay with each compressor (not included with this kit). 10. VIAIR also suggests the use of a 200 PSI maximum pressure switch to regulate on & off pressures. Pressure switch is not included with this kit. USER MANUAL...
444C DUAL PERFORMANCE VALUE PACK MOUNTING AND WIRING 1. Disconnect ground cable from vehicle’s battery. 2. Temporarily position the air compressor in the location where it will be mounted. 3. Route ground wire to the negative post of the battery or to an appropriate grounding point and cut ground wire to length as needed. 4. Mount each air compressor with the four sets of bolts, nuts, washers, and locking washers provided. (See Fig. 2 for Mounting Instructions). Use of thread sealant is recommended. 5. NOTE: For Remote Inlet Air Filter Installation, refer to Remote Inlet Air Filter Installation Instructions included in the Remote Inlet Air Filter Pack. 6. Your air compressors come with heavy duty heat-resistant leader hose with 1/4” NPT fittings. This leader hose is designed to prolong the life of your air line. Do not remove the leader hoses from the air compressors.
1. Periodically check all electrical, fittings connections. Clean and tighten as needed. 2. Periodically check all mounting screws. Tighten as needed. 3. Replace Air Filter Element periodically. Replacement frequency depends on operating frequency and operating environment. For frequent use in dusty environments, we recommend that you replace air filter element once a month. 4. Regularly clean dust and dirt from compressor cooling fins and motor housing. 5. Your air compressor is equipped with a permanently lubricated, maintenance-free motor. Never try to lubricate the compressor. 6. All repairs should be performed by Manufacturer or Manufacturer’s Authorized Service Agencies only. CAUTION: Never touch the air compressor or fittings connected to the air compressor with bare hands during or immediately after use. The leader hose and fittings connected to leader hose will become very HOT during and after use. If necessary, wear heat resistant gloves to handle fittings, air line, and leader hose.
