General Maintenance Information
Routine Maintenance
In order to maintain the VMAC warranty,
VMAC’s maintenance schedule must
be followed. Only genuine original VMAC replacement parts can be used to
maintain the system.
The compressor system does not contain reed valves or other easily fouled,
fatigue prone components. 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 Engine Driven 30 CFM Air Compressor must be run a
minimum of once every 30 days for at least 30 minutes to
prevent impact damage and premature bearing failure in the
compressor due to vibration from the vehicle. Regularly
running the system will also help to vaporise and exhaust any
water that has condensed and accumulated in the WHASP
Tank.
Refer to the Honda O
wner’s Manual for detailed information
related to the Honda GX390 maintenance schedule.
