Each of our air compressors and parts have been carefully produced and packaged. Before you
begin installation, please familiarize yourself with ADA System Components List of this manual.
Guidelines for Selecting Mounting Location:
The selection of proper mounting location for your air compressor will help ensure a long and trouble
free compressor service life. Please pay close attention to the following guidelines:
FOR UNIVERSAL MODELS:
1. Select a FLAT, UPRIGHT AND SECURE location where the compressor can be mounted.
FOR ALL MODELS:
2. The cooler the ambient temperature, the less chance the compressor will overheat. For prolonged
use (tire lling) open your hood to allow maximum cooling of the compressor unit.
3. This compressor is moisture & dust resistant, but NOT DIRT OR WATERPROOF. Do not mount
compressor in locations where the unit is likely to come in contact with the elements.
4. Always utilize the supplied remote lter mounting option, and route the air line from compressor
air inlet to remote inlet air lter located in a clean and dry area. Secure the air lter to keep it from
dislodging and becoming damaged.
FOR UNIVERSAL MODELS:
5. If it is necessary to mount the air compressor further away from the battery, such as inside
your vehicle or in the bed of your pickup, use the appropriate gauge wire for the amp draw of the
compressor and distance from the battery. When in doubt, use the next larger wire gauge size.

AUTOMATIC DEPLOYMENT AIR SYSTEMS
MOUNTING AND WIRING
1. Disconnect ground cable from vehicle’s battery.
2. Position the air compressor in the location where it will be mounted. If brake booster mounting
is provided/desired, based on type of ADA System, install brake booster bracket either with the
compressor in place, or afterwards if this eases installation.
3. Note: If your ADA System is equipped with a brake booster bracket, you must remove the
corresponding hardware from the brake booster to properly install the booster bracket. Reinstall
all removed hardware, following the manufacturer’s torque specications for installation of any
hardware removed.
4. For 2007-2011 JK Models, the compressor intake lter should face the vehicle’s rewall.
Quick connect coupling should face radiator support.
5. For Universal Models, mount air compressor to either a at surface or to the brake booster
mounting bracket with the bolts, nuts, washers, and locking washers provided.
6. NOTE: For remote inlet air lter installation, refer to instructions included in the Remote Inlet
Air Filter Pack.
7. Route the provided wiring harness from the mounting location of the ADA System to the battery
of your vehicle. Secure the harness as needed at several points, to avoid abrasion and other
possible damage resulting from movement during vehicle use. Special care must be taken when
routing the harness through sheetmetal to avoid abrasion.
8. Make sure that your compressor setup is properly fused by installing the provided fuse in the
wiring harness assembly.
9. Before connecting to power source, re-check your system to make sure that all electrical
connections are made properly.
10. Connect power lead of the wiring harness to the battery. It is recommended to provide switched
power for the system, that is only turned on when the ignition of the vehicle is also energized in
case of any air leaks that may allow the system to turn on and drain your battery during periods
when the vehicle might remain parked. This is especially important when using a small reservoir,
as is supplied with all ADA Systems.
11. Connect the ADA System’s Delphi connector to corresponding Delphi plug connector of the
wiring harness provided.
12. Ensure that the drain valve located on the underside of the ADA System reservoir is closed.
13. When power is made available to the ADA system, the system will automatically turn on
and ll the ADA reservoir.
14. When the cutoff pressure of the ADA System has been reached, the system will
shut off automatically.
15. Inspect all air line connections for leaks with soap and water solution. If a leak is detected, the
connection may not be made properly. Re-do any connections that are leaking. The use of
thread locker is recommended for all ttings. (Avoid the use of Teon tape).

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
1. IMPORTANT: Always operate the compressor at or below the MAXIMUM PRESSURE RATING of
the compressor. Please refer to Application & Specications Sections of this manual for details.
2. Always observe the MAXIMUM DUTY CYCLE of the air compressor. Refer to Compressor
Applications and Specications Sections of this manual for details. Operation exceeding
maximum pressure ratings and/or duty cycle will result in damage to the air compressor.
3. Your air compressor is equipped with an AUTOMATIC THERMAL OVERLOAD PROTECTOR.
This feature is designed to protect the air compressor from overheating and causing permanent
damage to your air compressor. The thermal overload protector will automatically cut power to
your air compressor should the internal operating temperature of the air compressor rise above
safe levels during excessive use.
4. Should at any time during use, your air compressor automatically shuts off unexpectedly; do not
attempt to restart it. Turn off power and allow unit to cool for at least 30 minutes. This will allow
the Thermal Overload Protector to reset so you can safely resume use of the air compressor.
5. To prevent discharge of your vehicle’s battery, and enhance performance, keep the vehicle’s
engine running while using the compressor.
6. Only operate compressor in well ventilated areas.
NOTE: Your ADA System is equipped with an 85 PSI turn-on, 105 PSI turn-off pressure switch.
Due to manufacturing tolerances, a variance of +/- 5% is possible for turn on & off pressures.
This is not a manufacturing defect, and will not affect the operation of air lockers, nor the ability
of the ADA System to inate tires up to 100 PSI.
MAINTENANCE & REPAIRS
1. Periodically check all electrical and ttings connections. Clean and tighten as needed.
2. Periodically check all mounting screws. Tighten as needed.
3. Replace air lter element periodically. Replacement frequency depends on operating frequency and
operating environment. For frequent use in dusty environment, we recommend that you replace air
lter element at least once a month.
4. Regularly clean dust and dirt from compressor cooling ns and/or motor housing.

DIGITAL TIRE INFLATION KIT
The VIAIR Digital Tire Ination Kit is used for airing up tires, and adding compressed air to any
inatable item with a valve stem. The Digital Tire Ination Kit has a normally closed lever style air
chuck at the end of its rubber hose and comes with a 30’ hose. After connection to an air source
such as an air tank via the quick connect stud preinstalled in the unit, air may be discharged from the
gun by simply squeezing the ination trigger. To check air pressure, turn on the digital air pressure
gauge and select the scale you wish to read (PSI, BAR, KG/CM or kPa) by pressing the “UNIT”
button. Release the trigger anytime during ination to check tire pressure using the digital gauge.
1. USING THE TIRE INFLATION GUN:
To ensure trouble free service life of your compressor, always operate compressor within rated
working pressure of the compressor. Never use a pressure switch with a higher cut-off pressure
than compressor’s rated working pressure.
2. FILLING TIRES AND OTHER INFLATABLE ITEMS:
Squeeze the Ination Trigger on the Digital Tire Ination Gun by pressing it towards the handle of the
gun. This will allow stored air from the air tank to ow through the gun and through the chuck into
your tire or other inatable.
3. CHECKING TIRE PRESSURE:
To check tire pressure, release Ination Trigger on Digital Tire Ination Gun while the gauge is turned
on. Tire pressure will be able to be read properly only when the ination trigger is released.
4. TO TURN UNIT OFF:
After 15 seconds of non-use, the unit will turn off on its own.
5. STORAGE:
Always store using the included deluxe carry bag to protect the ination gun & hose.
WARNING:
Not intended for use with regular portable
compressors (units meant to be operated with an
open ended air chuck). The Tire Ination Gun is
equipped with a close-ended chuck (will hold
pressure back).
- Never operate the Digital Tire Ination Gun at
any pressure exceeding 200 PSI.
- Use caution when attached or removing air
chuck from valve stems.
- Always ensure that tire valve stems are tight
before inating tires.
- Never inate any tire or other inatable past its
rated pressure to avoid explosion,
or possible injury or death.

ABOUT COMPRESSOR DUTY CYCLE:
Compressor Duty Cycle refers to amount of time a compressor can be operated in a given time
period, at 100 PSI and at a standard ambient temperature of 72°F. Duty Cycle is commonly
expressed in percentile as:
Compressor on Time/ (Compressor on Time + Off Time) %
As an example, a compressor that is rated for 25% duty cycle means that compressor can be
operated at:
100 PSI @ 72°F for 10 Minutes ON and 30 Minutes OFF
10 Min. On / (10 Min. On + 30 Min. Off) = 10 Min. / 40 Min.
=25% Duty Cycle
DUTY CYCLE REFERENCE CHART
DUTY CYCLE @100PSI / 72°F MINUTES ON / OFF
15% 6 Min. On / 34 Min. Off
20% 8 Min. On / 32 Min. Off
25% 10 Min. On / 30 Min. Off
30% 13 Min. On / 30 Min. Off
33% 15 Min. On / 30 Min. Off
100% Continuous Duty
ABOUT RATED WORKING PRESSURE:
To ensure trouble free service life of your compressor, always operate compressor within rated
working pressure of the compressor. Never use a pressure switch with a higher cut-off pressure
than compressor’s rated working pressure.
