Excessive moisture in the discharge of your VIAIR Air Compressor may be due to: * Excessive water in the air tank: Drain the tank, tilting it to ensure complete drainage. Drain the tank more frequently. * High humidity: Move the compressor to an area with less humidity or use an airline filter.
Why does my VIAIR 485C run continuously and open the safety valve?
If your VIAIR Air Compressor runs continuously and the safety valve opens, it could be due to a faulty pressure switch or a defective safety valve. Try replacing the pressure switch or the safety valve to resolve this issue.
What to do if my VIAIR 485C runs continuously and has low airflow?
If your VIAIR Air Compressor runs continuously and the airflow is lower than normal, the issue could stem from several causes: * Excessive air usage: Decrease air usage. * Loose connections: Check all connections with a soap and water solution and tighten them. * Worn piston ring or inlet valve: Replace the compressor. * Clogged air filter element: Replace the air filter element.
Why will my VIAIR 485C Air Compressor not run?
If your VIAIR Air Compressor will not run, there are several potential causes: 1. No power or the power switch is in the OFF position: Ensure the compressor switch is ON. 2. Blown fuse: Disconnect the compressor from the power source and replace the fuse. Check the specifications section for the correct fuse amperage. 3. Motor overheats: Allow the compressor to cool off for about 30 minutes to allow the thermal overload switch to reset. 4. Faulty pressure switch: Replace the pressure switch.
How to fix a VIAIR Air Compressor when tank pressure drops after shut off?
If the tank pressure drops when your VIAIR Air Compressor shuts off, it could be due to: * A loose drain cock: Tighten the drain cock. * A leaking check valve: Replace the check valve or the compressor. * Loose connections: Check all connections with a soap and water solution and tighten them.
Why does the thermal overload protector cut out repeatedly on my VIAIR 485C?
If the thermal overload protector in your VIAIR Air Compressor cuts out repeatedly, it could be due to: * Lack of proper ventilation or high ambient temperature: Move the compressor to a well-ventilated area or an area with a lower ambient temperature. * Failed compressor valves: Replace the compressor.
What causes excessive knocking or rattling in a VIAIR Air Compressor?
Excessive knocking or rattling in your VIAIR Air Compressor can be caused by: * Loose mounting bolts: Tighten the bolts. * Worn bearing on the eccentric or motor shaft: Replace the bearing or piston assembly. * Worn cylinder or piston ring: Replace the piston or compressor.

The VIAIR 485C Air Compressor Kit is a high-performance 12-volt DC air compressor designed for various applications, offering reliable and continuous air supply. This manual covers two specific kits: Part No. 48500 and Part No. 48502, both featuring the 485C air compressor.
The 485C air compressor is engineered to provide compressed air for a range of uses, including inflating tires, operating air tools, and supporting air suspension systems. It is designed for permanent installation and is equipped with a heavy-duty, heat-resistant leader hose with 3/8" NPT fittings, which includes a built-in inline check valve to prolong the life of the air line. The compressor operates on a 12-volt DC system and is intended for use with an air tank to build and maintain pressure. It features an Automatic Reset Thermal Protector to prevent overheating and permanent damage, ensuring safe and extended operation. The compressor is capable of continuous operation at specific pressure and temperature conditions, making it suitable for demanding applications.
The compressor's duty cycle refers to the amount of time it can be operated in a given period at 100 PSI and 72°F ambient temperature. A 100% duty cycle means the compressor can run continuously under these conditions. For example, a 9% duty cycle allows for 5 minutes on and 55 minutes off, while a 100% duty cycle allows for 1 hour run time. It is crucial to operate the compressor within its rated working pressure and duty cycle to ensure trouble-free service life.
The VIAIR 485C Air Compressor Kit is a robust and reliable solution for on-demand compressed air, designed with user safety and product longevity in mind, provided that installation, operation, and maintenance guidelines are strictly followed.
