ARC4000 Compressor System Instructions
These are some general guidelines to follow when installing your new RidePro air control system.
Depending on the vehicle there are many different ways to plumb the system. Start out by
planning a lay out of where you want everything to be mounted. Typically we try to keep the
compressor, solenoids, tank, and sending units in a central location, but they can be separated to
suit your needs.
Mounting the Compressor/ Pressure Switch

Remove the negative battery cable before beginning installation.

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 off 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.

A template is supplied to aid in drilling the holes. Check template with compressor before
drilling the holes.

Apply thread sealant to the pressure switch and compressor T and screw into the tank.

One spade of the pressure switch will connect to power the other to the red wire on the
compressor.
Mounting the Air Tank

The air tank can be mounted anywhere on the vehicle in any position.

A template is supplied to aid in drilling the holes. Check the template with the tank before
drilling the holes.

If your air system is used frequently you may want to remove the tank once a season to
drain any excessive accumulation of water.
