Failure to regulate the air pressure could cause damage to the tool. VMAC – Vehicle Mounted Air Compressors Toll Free: 1-888-241-2289 Local: 250-740-3200 Fax: 1-250-740-3201...
290°F (143°C) the system is switched off, draining the high pressure air and reducing the load on the engine. VMAC certified oil is used to lubricate the compressor and is the only approved lubricant. Any other oil will void the warranty. The oil/air separator tank removes most of the oil from the compressed air and the coalescing separating filter removes the remaining oil.

2.9.3 Check the gasket-sealing surface of the manifold block for contamination, old gasket material or damage. Make sure the new filter is a VMAC filter, part number 9200039. This oil filter is a high pressure oil filter, not an automotive oil filter, which will rupture under high pressure.
If a solvent has been used rinse the cover thoroughly with water and dry it before installing the cover. Fire in the compressor can cause a thermal event. VMAC – Vehicle Mounted Air Compressors Toll Free: 1-888-241-2289 Local: 250-740-3200 Fax: 1-250-740-3201...

Make sure the new filter is a VMAC filter, part # 3600079. This is a high pressure filter. Use of other filters not rated to the required pressure may cause the filter to rupture. 2.11.2 Apply a thin coating of compressor oil to the coalescing filter sealing gasket and coat the end of the threaded nipple, as there is also a O-ring inside the coalescing filter.
When performing problem diagnostics, do not use test practices that are potentially harmful to the people involved, or the equipment. Electrical testing should be performed according to the processes described in the troubleshooting charts.
