Maintenance and Repair Safety
Safety Check List
☐
Open the ball valve or connect an air tool to the system to ensure all the stored
air is released.
☐
Gently pull up on the ring on the pressure relief valve (located on the WHASP
Tank) to confirm the system is depressurized.
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).
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.
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”.
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. Substituting genuine VMAC
parts may void the warranty and could cause equipment damage,
injury, or death.
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.
Confirm that the system is depressurized and has cooled prior to
performing any service work.
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.
