Mounting the Compressor
• All of our compressors are sealed for moisture and dust resistance so they can
be mounted anywhere on the vehicle. Although it is best to mount it in a place
out of direct contact with rain and snow. It is OK to mount it underneath the
vehicle but keep it inside the frame rails away from water and debris thrown o
the tire.
• This is a dry compressor; therefore it is maintenance free and can be mounted in
any position.
• It is best if mounted to something solid to reduce vibration and noise. If
mounting it to sheet metal or the bed of a truck use sound deadening material
between the compressor and
the mounting surface.
• Use the rubber grommets
supplied on the feet of
the compressor to reduce
vibration.
• Attach the grey wire from
the main power harness to
the black wire on the primary
compressor. The red wire
connects to +12V
• If using two compressors, an
additional harness will attach
to the main power harness
(part #WIR8162). Attach the
blue wire from this harness to
the black wire on the second compressor and the second compressor red wire
to +12V.
• If you are running two compressors you will need an additional harness.
• Thomas Compressors (black) will require a 20 amp fuse (each).
• Viair Compressor (silver) will require a 30 amp fuse (each).
NOTE:
The e3 system switched ground on the compressors,
the compressors are provided power at all times.
Mounting the Air Tank
• The air tank can be mounted anywhere on the vehicle in any position.
(sensor cannot be on bottom)
• There is an 1/8” port in the tank that will accept the tank pressure sensor.
Mounting the RidePro Air Valves
• The valves, like the compressor, are sealed and can be mounted in the same
locations. Although if the vehicle will be exposed to freezing temperatures it is
a good idea to mount them
in the engine bay if possible
to reduce the possibility of
freezing.
• They can be mounted in
any position.
• Attach the ground strap
to a good, clean ground
(preferably the frame).
• The exhaust port will be left
open.
• The valve is held closed
with the pressure in the
tank. If tank pressure drops
below air spring pressure they will equalize, deating all 4 air springs.
