Has anyone installed a genuine MaxAir on its side? I'm replacing my aging ARB unit with one and plan to use the same wiring loom (original ARB one is rated to 40 amps with a 20-amp fuse anyway) and add a tank so that the pressure switch still works and I can run an air tool when I need for short bursts. The problem is that the size of the MaxAir unit prevents me from just bolting it in in its original configuration.
I need to be able to reduce the height of the unit by rotating it on its base mount to fit under the
seat. I'm just hoping that these units don't need top be upright (as per original orientation) to be properly internally lubricated.
Any advice? I can't see that it shouldn't be done, but am keen to hear from anyone who has mounted one under their
seat or bonnet in an orientation other than with the compressor head to the top.
Cheers all :)
