3. Vehicle Mounting
Mounting Location
When deciding an appropriate place to mount the compressor within the vehicle, consider the following:
oCarefully consider the mounting location of the compressor. There must be a minimum of 10mm
clearence from the Air Filter surface & a minimum of 15mm clearence from the fan housings of the
compressor.
oAvoid proximity to heat sources.
oAvoid exposure to direct sunlight.
oAvoid mounting in areas which are submerged during a water crossing.
oEnsure that the air filter inlet has access to cool, dry air.
oEnsure there is adequate clearance for air flow to the air filters and from the compressor exhaust fans.
oCompressor will become hot when used, ensure it is out of reach of children or pets, and away from
flammable materials.
oThe compressor should be mounted only on rigid panels with a thickness of no less than 1.5mm.
oThe Bracket Backing Strips (F-30772) may be used for additional rigidity and shall be used if mounting
to a panel less than 2.0mm thick.
oBefore installation, consider the location of the 5-Pin and 2-Pin connectors. Route them under the base
bracket in the direction disired.
Compressor Mounting
Consideration must be applied when selecting the mounting configuration to ensure there are enough
clearances for the compressor components and any accessories fitted. The supplied drill templates F-31390
and F-31397 can be used to choose a suitable location.
Depending on mounting location, the supplied spacers can be used to adjust installation heights of the
compressor base bracket and vertical wall braces. Do not exceed a 3 spacer pack (15mm) if elevating the
compressor. If a larger height is required, it is recommended to used larger outside diameter and thick M10
washers (eg. AS 1237.1 XL –10 sized washers).
There are 2 main mounting configurations for the TJM Pro Series Twin Compressor:
1. Horizontally (as supplied).
2. Vertically (Supplied Vertical Wall Braces F-30798L & F-30798R to be used).
