5.3 Air Compressor
This unit is equipped with an air compressor, which is designed to assist in the cleaning of debris
from cracks and joints.
•
Always use approved high-pressure air hoses with properly installed fittings that are not
frayed or worn.
•
A cold air lance is supplied.
•
For the 48300N, the engine RPM will increase to full RPM once the material temperature
reaches 275°F
(135°C) or if the compressor is switched to the “ON” position.
•
If the compressor is not needed, turn off the toggle switch in the control box (labeled
compressor).
•
The compressor is operated hydraulically and runs continuously. When air is not being
discharged, the compressor automatically reduces the air output to a minimum.
•
There is an intentional air leak at the air muffler that provides lubrication of the compressor.
•
Do not replace the air muffler with aftermarket parts as damage will occur to the
compressor.
•
The PN48300N is equipped with the 100 CFM compressor and a clean burning diesel
engine that reduces power at very high elevations to meet emissions requirements. This
machine has been fully tested with all systems active at max load at an elevation of 9200ft
with no issues. If you are operating this machine at an elevation above 9200ft, it is possible
the reduced engine power required for emissions compliance may not be sufficient to run all
systems at max load at the same time. If this occurs, you can run the machine without using
the compressor. You can also try running the material tank less than ½ full and allow extra
time for melting the material fully
– this will reduce the load contributed by the mixer to the
engine.
•
For PN 48300N is equipped with the 100 CFM air compressor and comes with an air safety
shut off valve. In the event of a hose rupture, this valve will significantly reduce the air flow
to prevent injuries from a failing hose. This valve will also trigger if the compressor is started
without the hose and wand connected. To reset valve, shut off compressor toggle switch for
30 seconds, then turn on the compressor.
