Installing the Compressor
2.5 Installing the Pressure Switch
Remove the plastic dust plug from the larger ¼ NPT port in the compressor manifold and
discard.
Generously apply Teflon paste/tape to the threads of the pressure switch and assemble it
into the port and tighten with a wrench/spanner.
NOTE :
Pressure fittings do not require high torque to form a good air tight seal.
Do not tighten any more than hand tight or damage to the manifold may
occur. Apply an increased amount of Teflon paste/tape if required.
2.6 Assembling / Installing the Air Filter
Screw the air filter assembly into the threaded hole in the front of the compressor by
hand.
NOTE :
If an intake extension tube is to be used to relocate the air intake then the
extension tube will be screwed into the front of the compressor and the air
filter will be screwed into the extension tube (See section 2.7).
HINT :
If extra tightening force is required, the air filter can be tightened by
disassembling the cover, removing the filter disk, and using an 8mm [5/16"]
hex key on the center of the port.
The cover logo may be rotated by hand as desired.
2.7 Using an Air Filter Extension Tube (optional)
The air filter of the CKMA was designed so that it could be relocated to a more suitable
location (if required) using an extension tube.
The length and inside diameter of the extension tube can restrict the intake flow
and negatively affect the performance of the compressor. In severe cases this could
result in overheating and/or damage to compressor components. Use the following
chart to make sure that the extension tube will not restrict the intake flow.
Measure the intended length of the extension tube along the path between the
compressor mounting location to where the air filter will be mounted.
Maximum Length of Tube
150mm [5.9"]
400mm [15.7"]
885mm [34.8"]
1715mm [67.5"]
3065mm [120.7"]
NOTE : There is no minimum length or maximum inside diameter for extension tubes.
Consult the chart above for the recommended minimum inside diameter of the tube.
