COMPRESSOR INSTALLATION: Fig. 3 & 4
7. Install the compressor in a dry interior location.
IMPORTANT: The compressor
should not be mounted further than 30 inches from the trumpet to ensure best sound.
8. To secure the compressor, drill one 3/16”
hole. When possible, mount the compressor
vertically (air outlet on top). Install the head
of the bolt into the mounting bracket’s slot
on the side of the compressor. Secure
the compressor using the lock washer/nut
provided as shown in Fig. 3.
9. Using the plastic tubing provided, cut to
size, connect the compressor to the two air
inlets using the “Y” connector provided as
shown in Fig. 4.
WARNING: Avoid making any kinks or
sharp bends in plastic tubing that can
reduce air flow and alter the horn’s sound.
For best performance and sound always
keep the plastic tubing as short as possible.
