  • Page 10: Safety Precautions

    2. SAFETY PRECAUTIONS Avoid all contact with pressurized air, if it penetrates your skin, it can enter your bloodstream and cause serious bodily harm or even death. Do not breathe the compressor air. Vaporized oil is a severe respiratory hazard. Vaporized oil propelled by high pressure air is an explosive mixture.

  • Page 11: System Identification And Warnings

    SAFETY PRECAUTIONS - Continued The compressor system is under sufficient pressure that a leak could force the air/oil mixture through the skin directly into your bloodstream. This could cause serious injury or death. Never adjust or attempt to make any repairs to the system while the engine is running.

  • Page 13: Hoses

    • PTFE regulator pressure tube (separator to regulator) Air Compression The VR40 systems use a VMAC designed and built oil flooded-lobe, rotary screw compressor. The oil-filled compressor housing contains two rotors. Compression occurs when inlet air (at normal atmospheric pressure) enters a chamber where it is trapped between meshing rotor lobes.

  • Page 14: Filtration

    The cooled oil is then returned to the compressor via the oil return hose. Belt Alignment and Tensioning The VR40 system may be driven by serpentine belt that runs off the engine crank pulley. Depending on the system the compressor may be driven by a belt with 8 ribs or less.

  • Page 15: Safety Devices

    SYSTEM SPECIFICATIONS - Continued Safety Devices A 200 PSI (13 Bar) pressure relief valve is installed in the separator tank to prevent system over pressure. The system is also equipped with an automatic rapid blow-down system to discharge system pressure on shutdown. The system makes use of the OEM safety circuits when available or adds safety circuits where required.

  • Page 16: Operating Instructions

    OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS The vehicle must not be parked on grades exceeding 15 º in slope as this may affect lubrication and air/oil separation. 1. Place the automatic transmission in park or neutral and fully apply the park brake. 2. Start and run the vehicle long enough for the engine to stabilize at base idle and reach normal operating temperature.

  • Page 21: Routine Maintenance

    ROUTINE MAINTENANCE The compressor system does not contain reed-valves or other easily fouled, fatigue-prone components. With proper maintenance, the need for premature repair or component replacement can be drastically reduced. The most critical aspect of maintenance is proper air filtration and clean oil. If any particles enter the compressor through the air inlet, they can contaminate roller bearings and the rotors in the compressor.

  • Page 22: Oil Level Maintenance

    ROUTINE MAINTENANCE - Continued Oil Level Maintenance You must use the VMAC supplied and approved compressor oil in this system. Failure to use this oil will result in damage to the compressor and may void your warranty. 1. Ensure the vehicle is parked on level ground and that the compressor system is de- pressurized and cool to the touch.

  • Page 23: Inspecting The Drive Belt

    ROUTINE MAINTENANCE - Continued Inspecting the Drive Belt Check the drive belt carefully for evidence of glazing, missing portions of the ribs or damage to the belt edges and surface. If the belt is damaged, install a new drive belt. Inspect all pulleys and idlers for damage.

  • Page 24: Replacing The Air Filter

    Never attempt to clean the filter element with compressed air. Replace the filter element. Replacing the Oil Filter Always use an MEA oil filter. MEA oil filters are designed to work properly at system pressure. Standard automotive oil filters are NOT capable of withstanding system pressure.

    3. Install and tighten the plug. 4. Remove the filter by turning it counter clockwise. Before discarding the filter, check to make sure that the threaded nipple did not unscrew with the filter. If the nipple is in the filter, remove it carefully to avoid thread damage and replace it in the tank. 5.
