PLANNING THE INSTALL

THESE PLANNING STEPS WILL HELP YOU SAVE TIME AND WILL MAKE THE INSTALLATION EASIER.
DETERMINE THE MOUNTING LOCATION FOR THE AIR COMPRESSOR
- Provides ample air flow and is protected from airborne debris and moisture.
- Mount close enough to the ECU to allow Wire Harness connections to reach.
If using the optional Firestone Air Accessory Mounting Kit, consider the
guidelines above, and follow the kit's instructions.
DETERMINE THE MOUNTING LOCATION FOR THE ECU
Mount close enough to the Air Compressor to allow Wire Harness
connections to reach.
- Allow room for Air Tubing to connect to the Air Fitting on the ECU.
- Allow room for the 4-pin ECU connector to connect to the ECU.
- Allow room for the Air Tubing to run without sharp curves or bends.
Using supplied fasteners shown in Step 3 is recommended. If no other mounting option is available,
see the sidebar on Step 2 for using the Large Nylon Ties.
Select a location that is solid and secure on the body or frame of the vehicle, away from any moving parts,
electrical or any other lines.
PLAN INSTALLATION ROUTES FOR WIRING AND AIR LINES
- Make sure the Wire Harness and Air Tubing are not exposed to sharp metal edges that can damage them.
- Use supplied Thermal Sleeves on Air Tubing when routing near heat sources.
- Use supplied Nylon Ties to secure Air Tubing and Wire Harness to the vehicle.
- Make a loop in the Air Tubing where shown. This creates a water/debris trap that protects the Air Compressor.
- Measure twice, cut once!
TAPE ALL ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS
- Use electrical tape to appropriately secure and protect all electrical connections.
USING PUSH-TO-CONNECT FITTINGS FOR AIR LINES
Your kit includes Push-to-Connect fittings to connect the Air Tubing to hardware.
