4.6 OPERATING THE
COMPRESSOR
The Air N Arc
features a high pressure, 175 psi air
system. Check the maximum air
pressure rating on the air tools being
used. The operator is responsible for
regulating the air pressure when
necessary (See Section 5.4.2, Adjusting
the Pressure Setting).
The pressurized air system requires
routine maintenance. See Table 5A,
Maintenance Schedule, in Section 5 to
learn about important maintenance
The moisture drain valve on the air tank
may be accessed at any time, including
while the machine is in operation.
To operate the air compressor:
1. Start the engine as per Section 4.2.1.
2. With the engine warmed up and
operating at low idle, turn the
compressor switch on the control panel
to the ON position.
At this stage (when the compressor switch is
selected, but the generator/throttle control is
OFF) output is 30 CFM. However If the
compressor switch is selected and the
generator/throttle control switch is ON, then
output is 40 CFM.

The Vanair state-of-the-art battery charging
module and the optional battery charging
cables add further versatility to the
Series Power System. The battery charging
system operates off the DC generator, and
not the main AC power generator.
DO NOT charge or boost while in Weld

NEVER disconnect boosting
connections or cables while charging /

on the machine. Failure to follow this
warning can result in injury, and/or
damage or failure of any or all electronic
components, thus voiding the warranty

Never leave the machine unattended
while charging a battery. Always
carefully monitor the charging system
while it is in use; the high amperage level
that the unit produces can damage the
