VIXEN HORNS Sound Air Horn Installation Guide
SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
- Make sure you never attempt to disassemble this horn kit’s electrical components.
- Never use your bare hands to any part of the compressor immediately after or during use.
- Avoid operating this product in an area with risk of falling or submergence into a liquid (water).
- Do not reach out for or touch any component that has fallen or been submerged into water.
- Make sure you set up in areas with good ventilation.
- Never sound the air horn anywhere near your ear(s) or that of another person.
- Make sure your battery ground is detached before getting your installation started.Employ equipment for eye protection during drilling operations.
MOUNTING
- Identify a suitable area for mounting, preferably an unobstructed sheet-metal surface like the frame or body of the vehicle so as to provide a firm platform which will help protect the horn from damage due to excessive shaking. Do not attach the horn to any plastic or other flexible material.
- Indicate the positions before drilling the hole of 1/4-inches in diameter. With the provided hardware for mounting, firmly tighten them to the vehicle.
- Install the bolt’s head into the compressor housing’s slot. Tighten the compressor firmly to the vehicle with the provided mounting hardware.
IMPORTANT: Installation in a high location underneath the hood and the downward orientation of the trumpet will prevent the horn from collecting any water.
ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS (FACTORY HORN SWITCH)
- For vehicles with a two-terminal factory horn, transfer the wires to the compressor’s terminals. If the horn doesn’t sound even if the compressor motor turns on, simply reverse the wires.
- For vehicles with one-terminal factory horns, make sure you transfer the wire to the compressor’s positive (+) terminal. The negative (-) terminal uses a 16-gauge wire or heavier to connect to ground.
- Using a 15A fuse (not provided) for circuit protection, connect the positive terminal of the compressor to the power source.
- The negative terminal of the compressor is attached to the horn button (not provided). The other horn button terminal is attached to any rust and paint free metal to ground.
- IMPORTANT: Both connection must be done with 18-gauge wire or heavier.
