Read the safety section of the manual and the Safety notice before you connect air. No pressure rating has been established for the T-Series.
Before you connect air
- Hearing. It is extremely loud. Wear hearing protection to test it, and never sound it near people or animals.
- Its own air. Never tee into a vehicle's air brakes. Use a pressure switch and a tank with a relief valve.
- Bolts. Hand tools only, never a drill or impact gun. Foot: 1/2-13 bolts, SAE flat washers and nylock nuts, never lock washers. Wings, bell pads and foot: finger tight, then a quarter turn more, then stop. Rear caps: black M5 Allen screws on printed washers with nylock nuts, snugged in the star order while you hold the stack centred (on bells 1 and 2 the screw next to the wing goes in from the back). Cracks from over-tightening are not covered by the warranty.
- Heat. Keep it 12 in (30 cm) from the exhaust and anything hot. The plastic softens at about 158 °F (70 °C).
- First run. Fill the tank to about 50 psi only, then step up while you check for leaks and cracks (manual, page 16).
- The law. Check the rules where you install and sound it.

More help
The install guide shows where the horn goes on a semi, a flatbed or a pickup, and how the air gets to it. Gaskets, diaphragms, nozzle sleeves and every other part are in the shop. Stuck? Send a message with a short video of the sound.
