Page 12: Preparing For Installation
Preparing for Installation Due to the variety of possible WHASP tank installation locations, VMAC does not include bulkhead fittings or hoses to run between any bulkhead and the WHASP tank. VMAC recommends determining where the WHASP tank will be located early in the installation so that appropriate hose lengths and bulkhead fittings can be ordered. - Page 13 If the vehicle is equipped with dual alternators, it will be necessary to convert it to a single alternator set up. As the VMAC compressor mounts in the secondary alternator position, dual alternator vehicles will require conversion to single alternator prior to proceeding.

Page 43: Testing The Installation
If the vehicle fails the test, ensure the wiring to all of the connections are correct and secure. If additional assistance is required, contact your local VMAC dealer or call VMAC Technical Support 1-888-241-2289 or 250-740-3200. Safety Test Ensure the following has been completed: ☐... - Page 44 The second person will actuate the compressor switch and ball valve as necessary ☐ Install the VMAC Air Test Tool (P/N: A700052) with the 40 cfm (5/32 in) orifice installed and the ball valve closed. ☐ With the engine running and the vehicle in “PARK”, release the parking brake.
- Page 45 Ensure the following has been completed: ☐ Operate the system with an air tool (or the VMAC Air Test Tool with the appropriate orifice installed) for at least 1/2 hour (1 hour preferred). The WHASP Tank cooling fan is thermostatically controlled, and may start or stop without warning.

Page 46: Performance Testing And System Adjustments
Try turning the engine speed down and observe the performance. When testing the system or adjusting the VMAC Throttle Control, ensure the system does not exceed 2,400 engine rpm. Exceeding this speed will cause erratic system performance and in extreme cases may also cause long term damage to the compressor. - Page 47 Control. System operation can be tested using the tools that will be operated by the system or by using the VMAC Test Tool (A700052) with the 40 cfm (5/32 in) orifice in the outlet to simulate tool use (Figure 44).
