once the horn is attached to the air supply - does the air supply leak down? If so, how long before all the air leaks out?

I certainly haven't seen (or heard) any evidence of air leaking out. It seems to form a nice tight seal when you put the horn on to the can. If it does leak, and I truly don't think it does, it is a very, very slow one.

After several months... haven't seen it leak down.. still strong enough to make geese in the backyard change their minds...

I'm not sure, but I have had another one for several years and the last time I used it, it worked fine.

I've had the horn attached to the air supply for a couple of years now (I think about 2 1/2 years) and it still works really good. It's gotten slightly weaker, but still packs a punch.

If this is a replacement for another horn it can be helpful to very slightly loosen the nuts connecting the horns to the base so the two horns will move while attached to the base thereby making it easier to match the existing mounting holes for the old horn.If I remember correctly the amount of hose supplied was about 3 feet or so.

I have to disagree with the other posters here. Maybe my Airscape is defective, but there is not a perfect seal even when you push the handle down ('closing' the air valve). Because of this, any extra pressure that builds up due to outgassing will bleed off to the same pressure as the surrounding air.

Mine is working great are you seeing air on the intake tube if not shake your canater around jently front to back left to right all of air pockets should come out and be whisper quiet.

You don't need the solenoid. The horn has it's own solenoid. I made the mistake of buying the compressor together with a solenoid only to confirm with Wolo that the horns already come with a solenoid.

The knob controls the air pressure. I've never turned it down but the volume is pretty low when the air pressure gets down to about 40psi. When the air pressure is at its' max it can get attention of drivers in vehicles. As recommended in the instructions you don't want to blast the horn right behind an elderly person or anyone with a weak heart.

Yes this pretty normal with an air compressor. Even my big compressor does this. Even though you can not hear an air leak there is usually a small one and that makes the compressor kick on to fill back up.

No problem , but remember to point Horn down, so water does not get in it , in case you get caught in a rainstorm. Just follow the installation instructions which are pretty good.

Just turn it to the loudest setting, if not then just get a ding, ding bell. Why get a horn this loud if you turn it down. You want it loud, it might save your life.

Do you hear the piston making a "popping" sound or just a constant tone when you pull the trigger? Air does come out of the side of the unit during normal operation and it will making a consistent popping sound dependent on input PSI. I'd check for air pockets, just like with a normal grease gun I have to prime it before I get grease flow. Just bang this upside down against the rim of a plastic trash can dozen or so times and check periodically for the grease to start flowing. The tone of the piston will change once it's actually pushing grease too if it's popping really fast and nothing's coming out its just not primed enough. Hope this helps!

Just for that kind of test (overnight air leak), I have had mine pumped up to pressure since I received it. It has probably bled off a couple pounds a WEEK as per the mounted included gauge. Your overnight air loss is usually attributed to having the air hose connected to the outlet port on the compressor and having a accessory attached to the air hose,,,then the unit WILL leak air overnight,,as with most if not all compressors in that configuration. When not in use, remove the air hose from the compressor quick connect outlet port.

yes, most air copressor will leak down occasionally this does not affect its use or life of it.

Nearly the same force of air that's coming out of the nozzle is ALSO coming out the joints of the canister. The force coming out of the nozzle is not as powerful as all the hundreds of reviews would suggest. I'm not sure this air leak is by design - or at least the amount of "leak" from the unit I received.

At the lowest setting it makes no noise at all. That's because the adjustment valve, which is located on the horn itself and not the tank, is essentially infinitely adjustable. It's just a rotating valve that allows less and less air through until it lets no air through the line at all. But you need to turn it almost completely off for any affect. And yes, it is certainly adjustable on the fly. Having said that, I don't know why you'd ever want this on anything less than the loudest setting. If you're trying to alert a car that you're there more volume is always a plus.

It comes attached to the can already. It doesn't leak at all. I've had my horn for months and have used it a dozen or more times with life still left in it!

I had my on last winters.it is still working.When the horn was put on the out side horn was loose I glue on It worked. It has a very loud sound

maybe you put the wrong connections ...try to Chang the connection to your horn and see if it works...
