Multifunction Power System (Honda) Installation Manual
Installation Requirements and Considerations
The information in this section is critical to ensure proper operation of the system. Read these requirements prior beginning the installation.
Failure to adhere to these requirements may cause the Gas MF to operate erratically or impact the overall quality of the installation.
In order for the system to enter "Standby" mode and automatically shut down, an air receiver tank rated for 200 psi, with a minimum capacity of 5 USG, is required.
Requirements:
· Ensure there is adequate clearance around the unit to provide good air
circulation and effective cooling (see page 14).
· Ensure the service panel is accessible. · Ensure the engine and compressor oil level can be checked easily. · Ensure the unit can be serviced easily (i.e. without having to disconnect hoses, or
reposition/remove the unit).
· Ensure the hose lengths are as short, and with the least amount of 90° fittings,
as possible.
· Ensure the unit is mounted in a location where hot air and/or exhaust will not
recirculate into the system.
· Ensure the exhaust is routed to open air without being orientated in a way that
will accumulate of water.
· Ensure the unit is protected from excessive exposure to the elements. · Ensure the unit is protected from damage from other operations. · Ensure the intended mounting location is capable of safely supporting a
minimum of 550 lb (250 kg).
· Ensure the unit is sufficiently isolated from vibration to prevent damage to the
frame and other components.
Considerations:
· Is the intended location convenient for electrical and air connections? · Will the unit be mounted away from heat sources such as engines, exhaust, or
other components that can generate heat?
· Will the unit be mounted where it will be exposed to high contamination levels,
including combustible gases?
· Will the unit be used in temperatures below -5 °C (23 °F)? If so, VMAC
recommends ordering the system with the optional Cold Climate Kit.

Mounting Locations and Ventilation Requirements
Top mounted (Preferred)
Enclosure mounted (Not recommended unless mounted on a pull out drawer)
Not recommended
Figure 1 -- Mounting locations
VMAC does not recommend mounting the unit at the back of the vehicle as the drag created when the vehicle is moving causes debris to be deposited (and accumulated) inside the unit.
Top Mounting (Preferred mounting location)
Placing the Gas on top of the service body provides the best access to cool fresh air. Maintain a minimum of 12 in between the sides of the Gas MF and all other solid objects. Ensure there is an ample supply of cool air to the engine air intake panel of the Gas MF and that the hot air exhausted from the muffler and exhaust panel vents can escape the area unrestricted (Figure 1).
Enclosed Mounting
Enclosed mounting is not recommended due to the risk of recirculating exhaust and the significant heat generated by the Gas MF.
Mounting the Gas MF in an enclosure will limit access to cool fresh air, restrict the escape of hot air from around the unit and have an adverse effect on cooling the system; ensure adequate ventilation is provided. If mounting in an enclosure, VMAC strongly recommends mounting the unit on a pullout drawer with a switch that prevents the unit from being operated unless the drawer is fully extended.
While it is not possible to make absolute recommendations regarding ventilation (due to the widely differing circumstances that are possible), duty cycle, ambient temperature and enclosure shape are some of the important variables that must be considered.

Ventilation Requirements
Ventilation Requirements
Adequate ventilation is vital for safety. Ensure the engine exhaust is directed away from any passenger compartments or enclosed areas where personal may be working.
Systems without adequate cool air flow may experience stalling, premature oil deterioration, increased oil consumption, power loss, and reduced life or failure of the engine and/or compressor.
If the compressor overheats, the intelligent control features will shut the engine down and prevent restart until the oil temperature drops below 140 °C (284 °F).
Exhaust and waste heat from the Gas MF must be vented away from the system to prevent the engine from ingesting its exhaust and stalling.
Cool air is drawn into the unit via the engine air intake panel while the hot air is pushed away from the unit via the muffler and exhaust panel vents.
During operation, the Gas MF generates a considerable amount of heat that must be evacuated from the unit to allow it to run efficiently. The engine is air cooled and requires an adequate supply of cool fresh air to cool the engine and allow proper fuel combustion.
Ensure there is a minimum of 12 in of clearance between the air intake panel, the exhaust panel, and any other components mounted on the vehicle.
The engine exhaust must be vented away from the Gas MF and toward a safe location. If mounted in an enclosure, or the bed of a pickup truck box, the exhaust must be vented outside of the vehicle to prevent the engine from ingesting its exhaust and overheating or stalling.

Installing the Gas MF
While the Gas MF is manufactured with heavy duty vibration isolators between the engine and the base plate, VMAC recommends installing additional vibration isolators if the vehicle will be driven off of paved roads to prevent impact damage to the frame and other components.
Secure the Gas MF to the vehicle using (×6) 3/8 in or 10 mm bolts with washers,
and either lock washers or Loctite 242 (blue). Fuel Supply
If the Gas MF will be fueled via the vehicle's fuel tank, do not plumb the fuel line into the lowest area of the fuel tank to prevent the Gas MF from being able to drain the tank.
Connect the Gas MF to the gasoline fuel supply (see "Fuel Supply Options and
Requirements" on page 16). Air Discharge
Remove the #12 cap from the air outlet (located on the exhaust side of the unit)
and connect the Gas MF to the receiver tank (sold separately, see "Accessory Products from VMAC" on page 87). Exhaust
Ensure the exhaust pipe has suitable clearance from, and will not contact, any flammable materials.
If extending the exhaust, a suitable flex coupling or flex pipe must be used to prevent damage to the muffler and exhaust system. Dependent upon the length of the extension, extra support may be necessary.
Ensure the exhaust is installed such that it will prevent water accumulation in the exhaust system. If the exhaust will be oriented up, such as with the 90° exhaust elbow, ensure an appropriate flapper is installed.
Any exhaust pipe added to this system must be fitted over the Honda muffler, and must allow for the retention of the spark arrestor.
The upfitter must supply an exhaust pipe suitable to the application (such as the VMAC exhaust elbow kit P/N: A500249). The muffler OD is approximately 1 3/8 in.
Install an adequate exhaust pipe (not supplied) suitable to the application.

Electrical Connections
Failure to sufficiently ground the Gas MF could cause severe injury or death due to electrical shock and static discharge. While the American Welding Society® Safety & Health Fact Sheet No. 29 (Grounding of Portable and Vehicle Mounted Welding Generators) is a great reference for grounding the Gas MF, VMAC recommends working/consulting with a certified electrician and local regulatory bodies when grounding the Gas MF. Certified electricians and local regulatory bodies can assist with any questions or concerns regarding proper grounding, and compliance with local regulations.
The Gas MF must be grounded to the vehicle frame (or an earth ground when not mounted to a vehicle) to prevent electrical hazards. The vehicle mounted ground connection must be made by bare metal to metal contact to the vehicle frame as some service body materials (e.g. plastics, wood, bed liners, etc.) may insulate the Gas MF from the frame, resulting in inadequate grounding.
If permanently connecting the Gas MF to the vehicle battery, a battery isolator or circuit must be installed
Main System Ground (Vehicle Mounted)
Connect a ground wire with a minimum size of 10 AWG to the ground terminal
located on the engine side of the unit, next to the air outlet (Figure 4).
Figure 4 -- Connect ground wire
Connect the other end of the ground wire to the vehicle frame via a minimum
3/8 in post (this connection must be bare metal to metal contact).

Completing the Installation
Ensure all hoses, tubes or wires related to the installation are secured so that they will not contact any hot, sharp or moving parts and that adequate steps are taken to mitigate any wear due to equipment vibration.
Ensure the following steps have been completed prior to operating the Gas MF for the first time.
Verify the following fluids are at the correct level:
Check the engine oil level. Check the fuel level. Check the compressor oil level.
Perform a final inspection to ensure that:
Ground point is connected. Fasteners and connections are tight. Hoses are secure and adequately protected. Wiring is secure and adequately protected. All air outlets / ball valves are closed.
Testing the System
Connect a VMAC Air Test Tool (P/N: A700052) to the output of the air receiver
tank (not the Gas MF discharge outlet; connecting the test tool directly to the Gas MF is only required when performance testing the compressor itself).
Install the 40 cfm orifice into the air test tool.
Prime the Fuel System*:
*Turn the key switch to the "ON" position, and listen for the high pressure
fuel pump to turn off (approximately 10 seconds).
*Once the high pressure fuel pump stops, turn the key switch to the "OFF"
position.
*Turn the key switch to the "ON" position. *Press the "ENTER" button to start the engine and allow it to reach normal
operating temperature.
Check the system for any leaks. Engage the generator by pressing the rocker switch (located on the Display
Panel) to "ON".
Allow the system to run with the generator engaged for a minimum of 1/2 hour. This test ensures that the system has adequate ventilation.
Turn off the generator by pressing the rocker switch (located on the Display
Panel) to "OFF".
Press the "ENTER" button to shut down the system. Turn the Key switch to "OFF".

Compressor Performance Testing
Compressor Performance Testing
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 appropriate orifice in the outlet to simulate tool use (Figure 5).
JIC Adapters
Orifice
Ball valve
Install orifice here
Figure 5 -- A700052 VMAC Air Test Tool
Disconnect all downstream equipment (hose reels, etc.) and connect the test tool directly to the discharge fitting on the Gas MF.
Ensure there are no leaks in the test tool. The system may not idle down or enter standby if there are leaks in the lines or fittings.
Install the VMAC test tool at the Gas MF outlet with the 40 cfm orifice. Ensure the ball valve is closed. Start the system and allow it to reach normal operating temperature. After the system has reached normal operating temperature, observe the
pressure gauge on the test tool. The pressure should be approximately 150 psi.
Open the ball valve on the test tool and observe the pressure gauge.
If the system is not able to maintain air pressure at 95 psi when the ball valve is opened fully, the compressor has failed the performance test.
Close the ball valve slowly to allow the system pressure to rise. The Gas MF can be shut down normally unless the control system is being
tested.
Control System Testing
When the pressure reaches 150 psi (factory default setting), the system will
"unload" and air should be heard to escape from the inlet.
After 5 minutes without air use (factory setting), and with the generator turned
off, the system will go into standby and the engine will shut down.
While in standby, the system will continue to monitor the battery voltage, system temperature, air use, and air pressure and will restart as needed to maintain operating parameters.

Identifying Your System
The System ID will be requested any time that parts are ordered, when calling for technical support, or submitting a warranty claim.
The system ID is the preferred method of identifying the system as it serves as a master record of all of the components in the system. The system ID plate is found on the engine plate below the generator (Figure 6).
Figure 6 -- System ID location
An alternative method of identifying the system is via the compressor serial number which is found on a plate attached to the compressor. This is a less desirable method of identifying the system as it may not link back to the original system if the compressor has been replaced.

System Specifications
The Gas MF is powered by the HONDA iGX800; this 24 hp (18.6 kw) naturally aspirated, V-twin air cooled gas engine drives a 40 cfm VMAC air compressor. Average fuel consumption is approximately 1.9 g/h (7.1 L/h).
Engine Speed
Base idle: 1,700 rpm (± 50 rpm).
Warm up idle: 2,500 rpm (± 50 rpm).
High Idle: 3,600 rpm (± 50 rpm).
Air Compression
The Gas MF uses a VMAC designed and manufactured flooded lobe, rotary screw compressor. The oil filled compressor housing contains (×2) rotors. Compression occurs when air (at normal atmospheric pressure) enters a chamber where it is trapped between meshing rotor lobes. Cooled oil is injected into the rotors during compression to lubricate the rotors and bearings, absorb the heat of compression, and seal the rotor lobes to allow for efficient compression. As the rotors rotate, the meshing lobes compress the volume of the trapped air/oil mixture before sending it, via the discharge line, to be cooled and separated by the ASP.
When the compressor switch is in the "ON" position, air pressure is monitored via a pressure sensor mounted in the coalescing manifold. The intelligent control system monitors the air pressure and will respond if the pressure drops below the configurable top up pressure and / or high air rate (see "Adjustable Parameters (User Setup)" on page 48).
The compressor clutch is electronically controlled and will automatically disengage when the engine speed drops below 3,000 rpm, to ensure the generator frequency remains within acceptable parameters.
Air Pressure Regulation
Air pressure regulation is achieved via an inlet valve and is adjustable via the Display Box. The system pressure (factory set at 150 psi) can be adjusted between 80 psi and 150 psi (maximum). VMAC recommends the use of a Filter Regulator Lubricator (FRL) to reduce the operating pressure delivered to the tools.
Compressor Oil Separation and Cooling
The system utilizes a 2 stage air/oil separator. The hot air/oil mixture from the compressor enters the ASP and is mechanically separated with internal baffles. The second stage uses a spin-on coalescing filter to remove the remainder of the oil from the air stream.
The small amount of oil recovered from the coalescing filter is returned directly to the compressor via a 1/4 in PTFE scavenge tube.
The hot compressor oil is directed to VMAC's liquid to air cooler (which is cooled via an electrically controlled fan) before being returned to the compressor.

VMAC Knowledge Base: kb.vmacair.com
Filtration
VMAC rotary screw compressors are designed and machined to exacting standards. Foreign particles entering the compressor can damage components such as rotors, bearings, seals, and the housing resulting in performance and efficiency losses, and reduced system life.
The system is equipped with a replaceable paper element air filter, a high pressure spin-on oil filter, and a spin-on coalescing filter.
Generator
The Gas MF is equipped with:
Ac/dc generator / welder / battery charger / light duty battery booster
· ac: 8 kW output with 1 × 30 A, 240 V, 60 Hz 3 phase circuit, 2 × 20 A, 120 V, 60
Hz single phase circuit with terminal strip.
· dc: "Constant Voltage" modes, 12 V 24 V (selectable) for battery boosting
and charging; "Constant Current" modes for welding.
· Light duty battery booster / charger: 12 V dc and 24 V dc modes for battery
boosting (up to 300 A).
· Welder: This setting produces "Constant Current" output for arc welding.
Safety Features
A 200 psi (1380 kPa) pressure relief valve is installed in the coalescing filter manifold to prevent over pressurization. The Gas MF is also equipped with an integrated rapid blow down system that, via an air solenoid connected to the inlet valve, automatically discharges pressure upon shutdown.
Temperature sensors are installed in the compressor and the engine. In the event that the air/oil, or engine temperature increases above a safe level, the system will shut down the engine, illuminate the "WARNING" light on the Display Box and log the error message.
Do not disable or bypass any safety components. Disabling or bypassing safety components could result in equipment damage, injury or death.
VMAC Cold Climate Kit (Optional)
VMAC's cold climate kit consists of a 110 V ac heater cartridge installed in the compressor housing and a 110 V ac pad heater installed on the ASP tank
The VMAC Cold Climate Kit requires connection to either a 1,500 W power inverter (minimum) or ac "shore power" in order to power the heater cartridges.
Dependant upon ambient temperature, the heaters may need to be energized for up to 90 minutes prior to attempting to start the system.

Control System Terminology
The following messages will appear on the Display Box to indicate the system state at a given time (key switch in the "ON" position).
"SYSTEM READY"
The Gas MF has completed its self diagnostic test and is ready to be started by:
· Pressing the "ENTER" button. · Turning the key switch to the "START" position for 1 second and then releasing
the key.
· Grounding the remote start wire.
"STARTING"
The control system will attempt to start the engine.
The starter will be engaged for up to 15 seconds. If the engine fails to start after 3 attempts, the system will log error code 35, "ENGINE CRANK TIME OUT".
"WARMING"
The control system is monitoring the engine temperature. The system will remain in the "WARMING" state until the engine reaches 10 °C (50 °F).
"RUNNING"
Once the engine temperature reaches 10 °C (50 °F), the system will enter the "RUNNING" state. The system is ready for the compressor, or generator to be engaged. Note that the while the compressor oil is below 5 °C (41 °F), the compressor clutch will not actually engage, and "COMP TOO COLD xx.x°F/xx.x°C" will be
shown on the display.
If no demand is placed on the system (generator is turned off, and the compressor is turned off/has built to full system pressure), the "delay to unload" timer will begin counting down.
"STARTING CLUTCH"
The compressor clutch is engaged to allow the system to build air.
The control system will prevent the compressor clutch from restarting until pressure inside the compressor has had a chance to dissipate. If the compressor switch is engaged while there is still pressure in the system, the "STARTING CLUTCH" message will be displayed.
"UNLOAD"
Once the "TIME TO UNLOAD" timer reaches 0M:00S, the control system will disengage the compressor clutch and reduce the engine speed to base idle (provided that the generator is not engaged).
While in the "UNLOAD" state, the control system will continue to monitor the air use rate and restart pressure. If the control system detects air use, it will return the system to the "RUNNING" state, engage the compressor clutch, and increase the engine rpm to the second speed, to meet the demand.
VMAC - Vehicle Mounted Air Compressors
38
VMAC Technical Support: 888-241-2289
VMAC Knowledge Base: kb.vmacair.com
If no demand is placed on the system (generator is turned off, compressor is turned off, or has built to full system pressure), the control system will start the "TIME TO STANDBY" timer.
Any time that the generator is engaged, the "TIME TO STANDBY" timer will pause at 10 seconds and the system will be prevented from entering "STANDBY" until the generator is turned off.
"STANDBY"
Once the "TIME TO STANDBY" timer reaches 0M:00S, the control system will shut down the engine. While in "STANDBY", the control system will continue to monitor air pressure, air rate, battery voltage, and engine temperature. The control system will automatically restart the engine if the generator is activated, or in response to the adjustable parameters (see "Adjustable Parameters (User Setup)" on page 48).
While in "STANDBY", the strobe lights will flash to indicate that the engine may start unexpectedly.
If the control system sends a signal to start the engine, an audible alarm will sound to indicate that the engine is starting.
By default, the "DISABLE AUTO RESTART DELAY" is set to 60 minutes. After 60 minutes in "STANDBY", the system will shut down completely (including the strobe lights) even though the ignition key remains in the "ON" position. To start the system again, turn the ignition key to "OFF", then back to "ON", and follow the normal startup procedure.
See "Adjustable Parameters (User Setup)" on page 48 for more information on restart delay.
"STOPPING"
When the system is running and the "ENTER" button is pressed, the system will enter the "STOPPING" state.
Once in the "STOPPING" state, the system will shut down. If the system is still pressurized, it will blow down air pressure from the compressor and the ASP.

Cold or Hot Weather Operation
Cold Weather Operation
For optimal engine performance in temperatures below 0 °C (32 °F), ethanol free fuel is recommended. Consult the The HONDA iGC800 Owner's Manual (P/N: 1901216) for cold climate operation.
The HONDA iGX800 fuel injection control system is designed to compensate for cold climate conditions and does not require starting aids. The VMAC Cold Climate Kit includes a ASP Tank heater and compressor heater cartridge to speed warming of the compressor oil.
The control system will prevent the generator from starting until the engine temperature reaches 10° C (50° F). The control system will prevent the compressor from starting until the engine temperature reaches 10° C (50° F) and the compressor oil reached 5 °C (41 °F). Although the control system allows system operation at these temperatures, warming the engine to 20° C (68° F) is recommended for greater engine efficiency. Warm up time will vary based on ambient temperatures. Colder ambient temperatures will result in longer warm up time.
The HONDA iGX800 Owner's Manual (P/N: 1901216) advises that the engine should be warmed up for a minimum of 2-3 minutes.
In extremely cold weather, VMAC recommends setting the "STANDBY DELAY" to "NEVER" to prevent the engine from shutting down.
Optional VMAC Cold Climate Kit (A500234)
VMAC is unable to provide specific warming times as variations in air temperature and Gas MF mounting locations will affect the time it takes to warm the compressor system.
The heaters may need to be on for 30 minutes or more prior to the compressor clutch engaging to allow sufficient time for the compressor oil to warm up; this can generally be accomplished while driving to work.
Over temperature Shutdown
If the compressor or engine gets too hot, the over temperature circuit will disable the compressor to reduce the load on the engine to reduce the temperature. If the system temperature continues to rise, the system will shut the engine down.
In the event of an over temperature shutdown, the red LED on the display box will illuminate and the display box will show a message identifying the problem.
If this problem persists, see "Diagnostics and Troubleshooting" on page 75.

Starting and stopping the Gas MF
Prior to Operating the Gas MF:
Ensure the system is not mounted (or parked) on grades exceeding 15° as this
will affect lubrication and air/oil separation (Figure 19).
Figure 19 -- Do not exceed 15° grade
If installed inside a cabinet or enclosure, open the door or cover completely and secure in the open position to provide proper ventilation
Startup Procedure
If the temperature is below -5 °C (23 °F), enable the Cold Climate Kit (if
installed) to start warming the compressor oil. The time required for the heaters to sufficiently warm the compressor oil to 5° C (41° F) will depend upon the ambient temperature.
Check the compressor oil level at the sight glass in the ASP Tank. Check the engine oil level. Check the engine oil cooler to ensure no debris has accumulated. Check for any fluid leaks around the unit. Ensure any air tools are securely connected and the air discharge valve is
closed.
If the Gas MF has not been started for several weeks, prime the fuel system prior to attempting to start the unit (page 23).
Turn the key switch to the "ON" position.

Never attempt to jump start a frozen battery. Never overcharge a battery. Always follow safety precautions when jump starting or charging a battery, including the use of appropriate Personal Protective Equipment.
The Gas MF jump starting feature requires that the circuit being jumped has a battery installed. Do not attempt to jump start the vehicle with the Gas MF connected directly to the starter.
Do not leave the Gas MF connected and charging at over 30% for more than 10 minutes. Extended high voltage / current charging can damage batteries.
The Gas MF offers battery jump starting capability up to 300 A.
Prior to charging or boosting, ensure the Gas MF is not running, and the booster
cables are disconnected from the battery to be charged.
Set the "WELD" selection knob to 0 V. Start the Gas MF. Engage the generator via the toggle switch located at the display box. The voltmeter should read approximately 0 V.
If "ErX" is displayed*:
*Ensure the booster cables are not shorted together, or connected to the
batteries to be charged, and the "WELD" selection knob is set to "0".
*Press and hold the "RESET" button for 2 seconds. Connect the positive clamp to the positive terminal on the battery. Connect the negative clamp to a good ground (ideally on the engine).
Observe the battery voltage using the Voltmeter*.
*12 V systems should indicate battery voltage above 2.0 V. *24 V systems should indicate battery voltage above 14.0 V.

If the battery voltage is below the above values, the generator will not recognize the target and will not unlock the appropriate charge modes.
If the battery voltage is too low,*.
*Disconnect the battery from all loads. This may allow the battery voltage to
rise high enough to be recognized by the system.
*If the battery does not recover adequate voltage after being disconnected,
battery detection can be temporarily over-ridden by pressing and holding both the "RESET" and "WELD INTERLOCK" button for 5 seconds.
Once switched into charge mode, the system will re-enable battery detection after 60 seconds.
With the battery connected, rotate the "WELD" selection knob to the
appropriate charge mode*.
*The voltage should rise as the system begins charging. Set the "WELDING CURRENT" knob to 100%. Let the batteries charge for at least 5 minutes. Try starting the vehicle.
While the Gas MF can provide up to 300 A of start assist, vehicle starters can draw upwards of 1,200 A while starting.
If the vehicle fails to start, allow it to charge for longer before attempting to start again.
Return the "WELD" selection knob to 0 V.

Routine Maintenance
The Gas MF must be run for a minimum of 30 minutes (continuous) at least once every 30 days to prevent impact damage and premature bearing failure in the compressor, due to vibration. Regularly running the system will also help to vaporize and exhaust any water that has condensed and accumulated in the ASP.
In order to maintain the warranty, VMAC, and Honda's maintenance schedules must be followed. Only genuine VMAC and Honda parts can be used to maintain the system. With proper maintenance, the likelihood of premature failure 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, they can score the rotors and contaminate the roller bearings in the compressor. Any contamination will cause rapid and severe damage to components. The Gas MF control system records the engine and compressor hours separately. A service reminder indicating which type of service is upcoming will scroll on the display box before the service is due.
· Compressor: 10 hours before service is due. · Engine: 2 hours before service is due.
Maintenance Schedule
In order to maintain the warranty on the Gas MF, use only genuine VMAC replacement parts to service the system.
In the event of a warranty claim, VMAC or Honda may request service records.
The following maintenance schedule must be observed to maintain both of the VMAC warranties ("Standard" and "Lifetime"), as well as the Honda engine warranty. Regular maintenance also ensures proper performance and a long service life of the system. To order service kits, see the ordering information on page 10.
VMAC recommends more frequent maintenance when operating in dusty, or extreme environments.

Maintenance and Repair Safety
Prior to performing any service, ensure the vehicle is parked on level ground and that the transmission is in "PARK" with the parking brake applied and the wheels chocked (if applicable).
It is impossible to warn of all the possible hazards that may result from operating, servicing, or repairing this system. Wear all appropriate Personal Protective Equipment and follow all industry standard safety practices.
Confirm that the system is shutdown (not in "STANDBY") with the key in the "OFF" position, depressurized and has cooled prior to performing any service work.
Never use flammable solvents to clean any components. If a flammable solvent has been used, rinse the component thoroughly with water and dry it before reinstalling it, to prevent the possibility of explosion.
Use only genuine VMAC parts to maintain the system. Genuine VMAC parts are designed to work with the high pressure and heat generated by the compressor. Substituted parts may void the warranty and could cause equipment damage, injury, or death.
This information is intended for people with mechanical trade certification who have the tools and equipment to properly and safely perform the service or repair. Do not attempt to service or repair this system without the appropriate mechanical training, knowledge and experience.
Follow all safety precautions and industry standard "best practices".
Safety Check List
Open the ball valve or connect an air tool to the system to ensure all of the
stored air is released.
Gently pull up on the ring, on the pressure relief valve (located on the ASP), to
confirm the system is depressurized.
Disconnect the negative battery terminal.
Do not use the pressure relief valve as a means of depressurizing the compressor system. Doing so will prematurely wear the internal spring or the seat, preventing the valve from maintaining normal system pressure.

Regular Inspection Instructions
Read the "Maintenance and Repair Safety" section prior to performing any work on the system (beginning on page 54). Wear appropriate Personal Protective Equipment and follow all industry standard safety practices. The VMAC supplied and approved compressor oil must be used in this system. Failure to use this special oil will result in damage to the compressor and will void warranty.
Do not overfill the system. Overfilling the system with oil can flood the sight glass window and make the system appear empty.
Inspecting and Adding Compressor Oil
Ensure the unit is level and that the compressor system is depressurized and
cool to the touch.
Check the oil level in the sight glass and ensure that it is between the "MAX"
arrow and the "ADD" arrow. If the level is below the "ADD" arrow, perform the following steps:
Remove the fill cap (Figure 21). Using a funnel, pour oil into the fill fitting until the oil level in the sight glass
reaches the "MAX" arrow.

Inspecting and Replacing the Pressure Relief Valve
Read the "Maintenance and Repair Safety" section prior to performing any work on the system (beginning on page 54). Wear appropriate Personal Protective Equipment and follow all industry standard safety practices.
Do not use the pressure relief valve as a means of releasing pressure from the system. Doing so will prematurely wear the internal spring or the seat, preventing the valve from maintaining normal system pressure.
Visually inspect the valve and ensure it is not corroded and that the vent holes
are not plugged.
Turn the system on and allow it to reach full system pressure (factory setting
150 psi).
Ensure that air does not leak out of the valve. Air leaking from the pressure
relief valve when system pressure is at or below 150 psi indicates that the spring or seat in the valve is worn and the valve must be replaced.
If the pressure relief valve is showing loss of functionality, contact a local VMAC
dealer for a replacement.
While the pressure relief valve can be accessed and changed from the service panel side of the Gas MF, removing the top panel will provide the easiest access.

General Service Information
Read the "Maintenance and Repair Safety" section prior to performing any work on the system (beginning on page 54). Wear appropriate Personal Protective Equipment and follow all industry standard safety practices.
If the system is cold, bring the engine to operating temperature and then
operate the compressor system for a few minutes to bring the compressor oil to operating temperature. Warming the system will improve oil flow and will allow the oil to flow better and will also help to suspend contaminants in the oil, so that they can be removed from the system with the old oil.
Shut the compressor down. Shutdown the engine. Ensure the system is fully depressurized prior to beginning any service work. Observe all safety procedures relating to moving belts, hot oil and compressed
air. Use all appropriate Personal Protective Equipment and follow all industry standard safety practices.
Check the old oil for any evidence of metal filings or contamination. If any metal
filings are found, flush the hoses and the ASP using the VMAC flushing kit (P/N: A700214).

400 Hour / 1 Year Service (Compressor)
Read the "Maintenance and Repair Safety" section prior to performing any work on the system (beginning on page 54). Wear appropriate Personal Protective Equipment and follow all industry standard safety practices.
Do not use compressed air or perform any other tasks around the air filter and cover until both are replaced. Never clean the filter element with compressed air as this may allow contaminants to enter the compressor system. Always replace the air filter element during this service.
Do not overfill the system. Overfilling the system with oil can flood the sight glass window and make the system appear empty.
A clean engine and generator compartment, in addition to being more efficient, makes detecting issues (i.e. oil leaks, wire or hose abrasion, etc.) easier. VMAC recommends cleaning the Gas MF as part of regular servicing.
Run the compressor for a few minutes to warm the compressor oil. Clean the area around the ASP and the oil filter to prevent contamination. Place appropriate absorbent material under the filter to collect oil spills. Open the oil drain petcock and drain the oil into a container with a capacity of
at least 1.6 USG (6 L) (Figure 31).

Air Receiver Tank
This system has a built-in check valve. Pressure in the air receiver tank will not be relieved when the compressor system blows down. This is normal operation. Prior to performing any service work on the system, discharge any stored air in the air receiver tank.
The system has a built-in check valve. Use of an additional check valve is not required and may cause erratic performance.
If an air receiver tank will be used with this system, the following installation procedure must be used to prevent damage to the system.
The VMAC compressor system will automatically depressurize when shutdown. The liquid to air cooler has a built in check valve that prevents blow back and moisture from the receiver tank entering the ASP. Installation of an additional check valve will cause erratic performance. While the air receiver tank can be installed at any height in relation to the Gas MF, the discharge hose running from the Gas MF must be installed as high as possible on the air receiver tank to prevent problems with condensation that may have accumulated in the receiver tank (Figure 43). Drain the condensed water from the receiver tank daily.
Install the line to the receiver tank as high as possible

Recommended Accessories
While the compressor system will function without the following accessories, VMAC strongly recommends their use for optimal performance.
See the "Accessory Product" section of this manual on page 87 for a list of products available for purchase through VMAC.
Receiver Tank
In order for the system to enter "Standby" mode and automatically shut down, an air receiver tank rated for 200 psi, with a minimum capacity of 5 USG, is required.
An air receiver tank provides a buffer as it gives the compressor time to react by increasing the engine speed and producing air before the tool stalls. It also has the advantage of lowering the duty cycle of the compressor system.
Pressure Gauge
While not critical to system performance, a pressure gauge is important for fine tuning the system and simplifies any potential troubleshooting. Install a 200 psi pressure gauge downstream of the air discharge valve.
Pressure Regulator and/or Lubricator or FRL
The compressor can produce air pressures up to approximately 150 psi (1035 kPa). It is the responsibility of the user to know the pressure and air flow requirements of the tools powered by the air compressor system. An appropriate air pressure regulator and lubricator can be installed downstream of the air discharge valve. Failure to regulate the air pressure may cause damage to the tool.
