CAS440HU Air Compressor Manual Part # 99901339 Run the engine and transmission in a well ventilated area. Listen for noises which indicate any engine/transmission problems. The engine and transmission should be in good operating condition before the installation of the PTO.
WARNING! AVOID DEATH OR SERIOUS INJURY! The driveline installer must inspect the final position of the driveline to determine whether an operator or other personnel are protected from rotating driveline hazards. If the protection is insufficient, a guard MUST be installed. Contact IMT for information on installing a guard.
CAS440HU Air Compressor Manual Part # 99901339 Underdeck Compressor Installation Use these instructions as a guide only, due to variations. Position the compressor below the compressor compartment with the belt side to the rear of the compartment. Lift the compressor base into position so the base is flush with the bottom of the compartment.
Installation Oil Cooler (optional) Oil coolers vary in their installation dependent on available space and other considerations. Install the oil cooler in front of the carrier vehicle's radiator, or, as an alternative, in a protective structure which is cooled by an electric fan. See figure for general location within the hydraulic system.
E C T I O N Operation Operation The compressor has an operating time limit of approximately three hours depending upon ambient air temperature (outside air temperature), weather conditions and whether an oil cooler has been installed. Oil coolers will extend the three hour limit. CAUTION THE HYDRAULIC OIL TEMPERATURE MUST NOT BE ALLOWED TO EXCEED 190°F (88°C).
CAS440HU Air Compressor Manual Part # 99901339 CAUTION 1000 RPM MAXIMUM! Operating this unit in excess of 1000 RPM, measured at the compressor flywheel, will void your warranty. Engine RPM may be different. The flow required to the compressor is 16 GPM.
E C T I O N Maintenance & Repair This section contains instructions for performing the inspection, lubrication, and maintenance procedures required to maintain the compressor in proper operating condition. The importance of performing the maintenance described herein cannot be over emphasized. The periodic maintenance procedures to be performed on the equipment covered by this manual are listed below.
Maintenance & Repair Compressor Hydraulic Oil The hydraulic oil is the power transmission medium, system lubricant, and coolant. Under normal operating conditions, the hydraulic oil must meet the following viscosity and grade specifications: AMBIENT TEMPERATURE RANGE 0 - 90º BELOW 32 - 90º...
CAS440HU Air Compressor Manual Part # 99901339 Hydraulic Fluid Deterioration Contamination of the hydraulic fluid by solvents, water, dust or other abrasives will cause deterioration of the fluid. Sustained presence of the impurities will result in premature breakdown of antifoam, lubrication, anti-rust and viscosity properties. Introduction of water to the system and operation at high temperatures (above 180°F) will result in an increase in the oil...
Maintenance & Repair Compressor Hydraulic Oil Change Check the oil in the hydraulic reservoir quarterly, and replace the oil on an annual basis. Purging the system requires a new oil supply sufficient to completely fill the reservoir, lines, cylinders, etc., and an extra quantity for loss during this procedure. To minimize oil loss during this process, operate the truck engine at low RPM.
CAS440HU Air Compressor Manual Part # 99901339 Compressor Filter Element Replacement To avoid residue accumulation in the reservoir and to protect the hydraulic components (valves, pumps,motors, etc.), the filters must be serviced on a regular basis. They must be changed after the initial 50-hours of new unit operation and every 200-hours thereafter.To change filter elements:...
Maintenance & Repair Compressor Hydraulic System Precautions To avoid malfunction of the compressor hydraulic system, follow these steps whenever a hydraulic component is removed from the system. ALWAYS relieve internal hydraulic pressure before proceeding with a repair. Carefully loosen a fitting and allow the pressure to bleed off. NEVER allow foreign matter (dirt, water, metal particles, etc.) to enter the system through the open connections.
