the male fitting of the tank and then fasten the compression nut. WARNING: Avoid tying the brass nut too
tight.
ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS

highly recommend that you use a 10A fuse (not provided) to assure that the circuit remains safe and will not
be damaged by excess current.
Wire the other lead of the solenoid valve to one of the terminals on the horn button.
Ground the other terminal on the horn button by wiring it to bare metal.
