Lightning Strike Compressor

Compressor Manual

Quick Start

  1. Connect the air hose to the compressor using the quick-connect fitting.
  2. Connect the Thor’s Lightning Dynamo chuck to the valve stem.
  3. Connect the power clamps to the vehicle battery and start the engine.
  4. Set desired pressure using the “+” or “–” buttons, then wait for the display to stop blinking.
  5. Press the power button to begin inflation. The compressor will stop automatically at the preset pressure.
Manual Mode: For small-volume items like bicycle tires, motorcycle tires, rafts, paddleboards, air mattresses, or other inflatables, use manual mode and monitor pressure closely.

Operating Modes

TotalControl™ Mode
Best for vehicle tires. Set your desired PSI, press power, and the compressor automatically stops when the preset pressure is reached.
Manual Mode
Best for small items and fast-fill situations. Press power to start inflation and press power again to stop. Always monitor closely to avoid overinflation.
Normal Pausing
The compressor may stop briefly for 1–2 seconds, 2–4 times during inflation. This is normal pressure calibration.

Error Codes

HOT
Overheat protection

Allow the compressor to cool before restarting.

ERR
Leak detected

Check hose, fittings, and valve connection.

F02
Overcurrent protection

Input current is greater than 120A. Check power connections and load.

F03
Overpressure protection

Pressure is greater than 155 PSI. Reduce pressure and restart.

F04
Temperature sensor failure

Sensor may be loose or damaged. Contact support.

F05
Pressure sensor failure

Sensor may be loose or damaged. Contact support.

F06
Overvoltage protection

Input voltage is greater than 16V. Check vehicle electrical system.

F07
Low voltage protection

Input voltage is lower than 12V. Start engine or check battery.

Jeep Wrangler JKU Compressor Mount

Mount Install

Before You Start

  4. After installation, verify the compressor and mount are secure.

Refuge Modular Bed Rack

Bed Rack Install

Install Notes

  1. Identify all rack components and hardware before assembly.
  2. Loosely install hardware first, then square the rack.

  4. Recheck hardware after your first drive.

Standard Hammer Manifold

Manual Manifold

Standard Hammer Manifold

Important: The Standard Hammer Manifold is fully manual. It does not have preset PSI, automatic shutoff, or electronic inflation/deflation control.

To Inflate
  1. Unpack hoses and orient the manifold so it is accessible for your air source.
  2. Connect the hose sections to the manifold using the quick-connect couplers.
  3. Make sure the valve is closed before connecting to the tires.
  4. Connect the tire chucks to the valve stems and make sure there are no kinks in the hoses.
  5. Connect the manifold to your air source.
  6. Open the manifold valve before turning on your air source.
  7. Turn on your air source and inflate the tires.
  8. Turn off the air source to check pressure with your gauge.
  9. Repeat as needed until desired tire pressure is reached.
  10. Leave the system connected for 10–15 seconds with the valve closed to help equalize pressure across all connected tires.
To Deflate
  1. Unpack hoses and orient the manifold so it is accessible.
  2. Connect the hose sections to the manifold using the quick-connect couplers.
  3. Make sure the valve is closed before connecting to the tires.
  4. Connect the tire chucks to the valve stems and make sure there are no kinks in the hoses.
  5. Open the manifold valve to begin deflation.
  6. Close the valve to check pressure with your gauge.
  7. Repeat as needed until desired tire pressure is reached.
  8. Leave the system connected for 10–15 seconds with the valve closed to help equalize pressure across all connected tires.
No Preset PSI: Do not look for a target pressure setting on the Standard Hammer Manifold. You control inflation and deflation manually by opening/closing the valve and checking pressure with a gauge.
Important: Open the manifold valve before running your air source. Failure to open the valve may cause back pressure and may damage your compressor.

TotalControl Hammer Manifold

Preset PSI Manifold

TotalControl Hammer Manifold

Important: The TotalControl Hammer Manifold is the electronic manifold with preset PSI inflation/deflation. This is separate from the Standard Hammer Manifold shown in the video above.

To Inflate
  1. Unpack hoses and orient the manifold so it is accessible for your air source.
  2. Connect the controller to an air source, such as an air compressor or air tank.
  3. Connect the controller to the tires using the air hoses.
  4. Press the power button to turn the controller on.
  5. Set the desired PSI using the “+” or “–” buttons.
  6. Open the manual valve and turn on the air source to begin inflation.
  7. The process may pause 2–4 times for pressure calibration.
  8. When desired pressure is reached, the controller will close the internal electronic valve and beep.
  9. Turn off the air source.
  10. Disconnect hoses from the tires, then disconnect the air source and turn off the controller.
To Deflate
  1. Connect the controller to the tires using the air hoses without connecting an air source.
  2. Press the power button to turn the controller on.
  3. Set the desired PSI using the “+” or “–” buttons.
  4. Open the manual valve to begin deflation.
  5. The controller may pause a few times for pressure calibration.
  6. When desired pressure is reached, the controller will close the internal electronic valve and beep.
  7. Close the manual valve and disconnect the hoses from the tires.
After target pressure is reached, the electronic valve may remain closed for 120 seconds and beep. Disconnect hoses and air source within this time.

Received the Air vault system a few weeks ago. Looks great. Unfortunately, now out of the country until early March. Will give it a go a week or so after returning home. Update review then

Excellent products!

I ordered this pump along with the hard case and the 4 tire air system and everything is very high quality and the operation exceeds my expectations. Setting up is very simple, and the pump airs up all of my 34” tires from 18 to 35 psi in about 2 1/2 minutes. The carrying case is solid and convenient because it stores all the cables and hoses (and I don’t have this hard mounted). I would recommend to anyone!
