Hot Environment Operation
Operating the Gas Engine Driven 30 CFM Air Compressor fully loaded for
extended periods in temperatures above 40 °C (104 °F) may result in the
system shutting down due to the compressor oil overheating. Placing high
demand on the engine (e.g. continuous demand @ 145 psi) for extended
periods can also result in higher than normal engine oil temperatures. To
avoid overheating the engine or compressor, VMAC recommends installing
an air receiver tank. This will help to reduce the duty cycle of the compressor
by allowing it to unload.
The compressor system is protected by a compressor oil temperature switch
that opens at 140 °C (284 °F) and shuts down and disables the engine until
the compressor oil temperature drops below 139 °C (282 °F). The cooling fan
will continue to operate at anytime as it is powered directly from the battery.
If the Gas Engine Driven 30 CFM Air Compressor shuts off due to overheat,
allow the system to cool sufficiently before restarting.
For engine oil recommendations in temperatures above 40 °C (104 °F) refer
to the Honda GX390 O
wner’s Manual supplied with the system (VMAC P/N:
1901066). Failure to follow the information supplied in the
Honda Owner’s
Manual may result in poor engine performance or engine damage.
Hot Environment Recommendations:
•
Ensure there is an adequate supply of cool ambient air to the unit.
•
Ensure the exhaust and hot air are able to vent from the system with no
restrictions.
•
Ensure the WHASP radiator fins and engine recoil starter areas are
clear of debris.
•
Install an external fan to direct cool air toward the engine and air
compressor.
•
Ensure the engine and compressor are serviced at correct intervals.
A receiver tank can help prevent overheating issues by
lowering the duty cycle of the compressor.
High Altitude operation
The Gas Engine Driven 30 CFM Air Compressor has been designed to
operate from 0 to 3,500 feet above sea level.
Operation above 3,500 feet may limit the compressor performance and may
cause the engine to stall. For operation between 3,500 and 5,000 feet,
lowering the compressor duty cycle is recommended.
For more information regarding high altitude operation refer to the Honda
GX390 Own
er’s Manual supplied with the system. (VMAC P/N: 1901066).
Failure to follow the
Honda Owner’s Manual may result in poor engine
performance or engine damage.
Engines modified for high altitude operation must be returned
to original factory specifications prior to use below 5,000 feet
to prevent serious engine damage.
