To connect to the fuel pump, refer to Figure
3-4, and follow these steps:
IMPORTANT
®
The Vanair -supplied fuel pump includes
an internal check valve. DO NOT add an
external check valve when assembling
the fuel pump line connection.
1. Mount the electric fuel pump at the
desired location on the service body,
keeping it as close to the truck fuel
tank as possible. Mount the electric
fuel pump a maximum distance of 24
inches from the bottom of the tank.
2. Install the pick-up and return fuel
lines.
• Ensure that the lines do not make
contact with sharp edges, moving
parts or exhaust heat (consult
Section 7.20, Hose Installation
Guide, for assistance in running hose
lines).
• Units must have a 70 micron fuel filter
in line before the pump.

AIR N ARC I-300 SERIES ALL-IN-ONE POWER SYSTEM
Due to the length involved for the fuel line
assembled from the engine to the vehicle-
accessed fuel tank, the fuel line may
accumulate air. There is a bleed nut located
on the engine for the purpose of siphoning off
this air. Refer to Section 3.8, Fuel Line
Siphon, for more information on bleeding the
fuel system of air.
3.5 CONNECTING AND APPLYING
THE HYDRAULIC SYSTEM
Refer to Figure 3-2 for hydraulic pump
system connections.
®
Vanair highly recommends consulting a
hydraulic supply expert for specifying the
correct hydraulic supply components for
vehicle-side integration (including oil
reservoir size, hydraulic pressure relief,
hose size, etc.) for your application.
Please take into consideration the following:
• The hydraulic flow and pressure
requirements of the system.
• The duty cycle and ambient operating
temperatures.
• Other hydraulic equipment which may
share that same hydraulic supply
system (Vanair recommends a
dedicated pump and hydraulic
circuit).
Improperly, or non-connected lines will
damage the equipment.
The hydraulic hoses must be run into
the package to the hydraulic pump.
Verify that hoses are hooked up
properly to ensure proper flow. Also,
verify that the hoses are laid out
properly so that no chafing or kinking
of the hoses is possible. Refer to
Section 7.20, Hose Installation
Guide, for assistance with proper
