How do you hook up a portable compressor to a car battery?
Connect the compressor to a 12 volt DC power source (such as a car battery) using the alligator clips. The red clip should connect to the positive terminal on the power source, and the black should connect to a proper ground or to the negative terminal on the power source.
Can VIAIR be mounted sideways?
You can mount in any direction or position since VIAIR compressors are oil-less. The only position we do not recommend is an upside-down mount, since heat tends to travel upward, and does not dissipate well in the motor housing.
