| Instructions
When you first install the train horn system, turn on the
air pump and only allow the air pressure to reach 80psi.
Now, turn the pump off and allow it to cool down for 10-15
minutes. Now, you can turn the pump back on and allow it
to finish filling the tank until it reaches its cut-off
pressure of 120-135psi. After it turns off, allow it to
cool down again for about 10 minutes. After this final cool
down you can test the horn. Remember, the air pump is not
designed for continues usage. The air pump needs time to
cool down between the horn blasts. If you plan on using
the horn every couple of minutes, you need to seriously
consider purchasing a heavy duty air pump. You can find
them at any local auto supply, or even WalMart.
Operation
Power from the toggle switch to your air pump should only
be turned on after you have honked the horn a couple of
times. The compressor does have an automatic shut off pressure
switch, but should that switch fail or a leak arise, the
pump will run continously and will drain your battery or
cause premature failure of your pump.
So remember to turn the toggle switch on, let the pump run
until the pressure switch cycles off your pump, and then
turn off the toggle switch. You will be able to tell when
the air pressure is low and you need to turn on the compressor
again.
