SECTION 3: INSTALLATION
3.3 DETERMINING THE
COMPRESSOR UNIT
MOUNTING LOCATION
When determining the location to mount the
RS45 unit, the following criteria must be
taken into consideration:
• Refer to Section 3.5, Installation. The
location must allow for the machine
dimensions (Figures 3-3A through 3-3D),
and additional space requirements for
minimum cooling, access and
maintenance.
• The mounting surface must be level and
able to accommodate the four [4]
mounting bolts of the base frame. Refer
to Figures 3-3A through 3-3D for
mounting hole location dimensions.
• The mounting surface must be able to
support the units weight (196 lbs.).
• The external display must be easily
visible to the operator.
It is recommended, for most installations, to
mount the compressor on the driver's side of
the vehicle. The unit should be situated in
such a manner that the fan (rear) and intake
side (front) are not obstructed. Do not place
the compressor in any location where it can
intake exhaust fumes, dust or debris.
3.4 HYDRAULIC SYSTEM
OVERVIEW
IMPORTANT
®
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.
IMPORTANT
Contaminated hydraulic fluid allowed to
enter the pump will cause malfunction of the
pump controls. Hydraulic system hoses
must be flushed and cleaned prior to being
connected to the unit.

3.4.1 HYDRAULIC SYSTEM FILTRATION

090126-OP_r0 (JAN-2018)
RELIANT RS45 AIR COMPRESSOR
Refer to Figures 3-3A through 3-3D for
hydraulic pump system connections.
Please take into consideration the following:
• The hydraulic flow and pressure
requirements of the system.
• A continuous hydraulic load is necessary
when compressor is running.
• 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).
WARNING
Follow all applicable safety
recommendations as outlined in Section 1:
Safety of this manual.
WARNING
Improperly, or non-connected lines will
damage the equipment.
The hydraulic hoses must be run to the
machine. 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 7.18, Hose
Installation Guide, for assistance with
proper hose layout and connecting functions.
NOTE
The temperature of the hydraulic oil should
not exceed 160°F due to the rating of the
Vanair-supplied hydraulic motor.
Vanair recommends using a 10 micron oil
filter on the hydraulic oil return line. Flow
rating of the filter must be equal to, or greater
than, the maximum GPM at which the
system will be operated.
