Installation Manual

Direct Drive Compressors
All Firestone compressors are direct drive compressors (no oil or belts). This means the
compressor can be mounted in any position without detriment to the compressor.
Ignition Activation
When connecting the compressor to a hot wire on the vehicle make sure it is ignition
activated. This will eliminate the compressor running when the vehicle is shut off.
Compressor Positioning
The compressors can be mounted under the hood or on the frame rail behind a cross
member. Keep in mind to allow enough air to flow to the compressor and to place it in a
protected area.
