Maintaining the PREDATAIR
You must use VMAC compressor oil in this system.
Failure to use this oil will result in damage to the
compressor and may void your warranty.
The rotary screw compressor is designed and machined to exacting
tolerances. Foreign particles entering the system will drastically
damage or shorten the life expectancy of the compressor and will
result in damage to bearings, gears, rotors and the inside of the
housing.
The system filters enhance performance and extend component life
by reducing damage from dust and other debris. Check the air filter
frequently to ensure that it is not restricted or damaged. Proper filter
maintenance is the key to long compressor life.
Regular, scheduled maintenance is required. This includes:
inspecting the air cleaner and maintaining the oil level
500 hours or 6 months service
more frequent service in severe operating conditions
Service kits are available for 500 (A700156) hour service intervals.
Oil, air filters, oil filters and other replacement parts can be ordered
from VMAC.
The PREDATAIR is equipped with a standard air filter. Heavy duty
air filters (standard A700136 and cyclonic A700138) are available
from VMAC if the system is operated in an extremely dusty
environment or is installed in a cabinet or enclosure, as this will
improve performance by providing cooler ambient air.
Refer to the Illustrated Parts List for a complete breakdown of all
available replacement parts.
Adding Compressor Oil
1. Remove the fill cap from the tank. Pour VMAC oil into the tank
using a clean funnel or use a short hose with a #12 JIC fitting to
extend the fill port.
2. Check the level in the sight glass at the front of the tank.
Continue adding oil until the level is correct. Do not overfill the
system. Overfilling the system with oil can flood the sight glass
window and make the system appear empty.
3. Replace and tighten the fill cap.
