Before Starting

Read this manual as well as the Honda Owner’s Manual prior to installing or 

operating the Gas Engine Driven 30 CFM Air Compressor (G300004) to ensure 

familiarity with the components, installation requirements and how to operate the 

unit.
Open the package, unpack the components and identify them using the included 

Illustrated Parts List (IPL). 

Hose Information

The hoses used in VMAC compressor systems have a specific inner liner that is 

compatible with VMAC compressor oil. Use of hoses other than those supplied 

or recommended by VMAC may cause compressor damage and may void your 

warranty. Please contact VMAC for replacement hoses and further information.
