WARNING
Compressed Air Pressure Hazard. May result in personal injury.
Compressed air can be dangerous. Make sure the pressure is allowed to
bleed down to atmospheric pressure prior to opening any connections or
valves.
Initial Power-Up
Post-Installation, Pre-Power-Up Safety Check
Before powering up the CAFSystem, perform the following:
1. Remove all tools, shop towels, hose trimmings and other debris from the
compartments.
2. Double check all hydraulic, air and water lines against the schematics,
testing to make sure each connection is tight and that the hose is fully in-
serted into the fitting.
3. Check all of the unused inlets: plastic shipping caps must be removed and
replaced with the appropriate plug or cap.
4. Make sure all drain valves are closed.
5. Make sure the gauges are connected to the appropriate sender (temperat-
ure, pressure, etc.)
6. Fill the sump with specified hydraulic oil until the oil level is 1/2 way up the
sight glass. You will need to add more oil later to compensate for the oil
that remains in the hydraulic lines and the compressor.
NOTE: Oil used in the system is ISO 68 hydraulic oil. It must be
“Low-foaming" or “Anti-foam".
7. Make sure the foam proportioner is operating properly (see manufacturer's
installation guide).
8. Make sure the fire pump is operating properly and that water flows through
the oil cooler.
9. Make sure the connection between the compressor drive shaft and the
PTO is secure and that the driveline angles match.
Initial Compressor System Power-Up
1. Remove the inlet valve and pour 8 to 16 ounces of hydraulic oil into the air
inlet of the compressor.
2. Replace the inlet valve.
3. Place the Auto-Sync system in UNLOAD and AUTO (UNLOAD for electric
Auto-Sync).
4. Start the vehicle's engine and engage the PTO.
5. With the system powered up, turn the Auto-Sync to the RUN/FIXED posi-
tions (FIXED for electric Auto-Sync). Air pressure should rise to about 110
psi.
6. Check for leaks by listening for hissing noises at the fittings.
7. Shut the PTO off, allow the pressure to bleed off, then add oil to the sump
to bring the oil level 1/2 way up the sight glass.
8.
Proceed to “Calibration”.
