You can't just hook up the air locker solenoids to the compressor, you need to set up an on-board air system. It's dead easy.

You need a tank for the air, a pressure switch (set at a max of not much more than 100psi as the air locker solenoids won't cop much more), non-return valve, pressure relief valve, some air line, some time and common sense.

Most of the stuff you can get from a compressor supply joint. Make up a manifold out of "t" pieces and you can air up tyres as well.

Search is your friend, there's HEAPS of info on it.
