10. Install the large spring and a new coalescing filter. Make sure
that the spring is in place, as it holds the coalescing filter tight
against the rear cap seal.
The large spring also prevents electrostatic buildup by
grounding the coalescing filter. If the spring is not
installed, an electric arc may occur, which could result
in an explosion, potential tank rupture or fire.
11. Install the discharge cap and torque the bolts to specifications.
12. Install the lines on the back of the tank.
13. Remove the fill cap and pour VMAC compressor oil into the oil fill
hole in the compressor tank using a funnel.
14. Check the level at the sight glass at the front of the tank.
Continue adding oil until the level is at “MAX”. Do not overfill the
system. Overfilling the system with oil can flood the sight glass
window and make the system appear empty.
15. Replace and tighten the fill cap.
16. Activate the hydraulic system.
17. Start the system.
18. Allow the system to pressurize and operate for a few minutes.
19. Turn the compressor off, check for oil leaks and check the oil
level. Add oil as required.
