□ Route the straight end of the 3/4" hose from the compressor to
the matching fitting on the tank.
□ Route the 3/16" and 1/4" tubes from the compressor air inlet
control valve to the matching fittings on the rear of tank.
□ Tighten all hose connections at the tank, cooler and compressor.
Prevent the hoses from twisting during tightening.
□ Bunch all hoses together, secure them with tie-straps and protect
them where they may rub. Make sure that they are clear of hot
exhaust parts or moving parts.
□ Apply a light film of compressor oil to the filter gasket and install
the filter on the tank. Tighten the filter an additional ¾ turn after
the gasket contacts the base.
4.3 Adding Oil to the System
You must use the VMAC supplied and approved compressor
oil in this system. Failure to use this special oil will result in
damage to the compressor and will void your warranty.
□ Remove the fill plug from the air inlet control valve and pour oil
into the oil fill hole on the inlet control valve using a funnel. Turn
the compressor clutch clockwise with a ratchet and a 1/2" socket
using the hex head bolt at the center of the compressor clutch
during the fill process to pump the oil into the system.
□ Allow 5 minutes for the oil to drain into the tank, then, check the
level at the sight glass at the front of the tank. Continue adding
oil until the level is correct.
□ Install the fill plug in the inlet control valve and tighten it securely.
Do not overfill the system. Overfilling the system with oil
can flood the sight glass window and make the system
appear empty.
