1.1 Introduction
This book provides installation instructions for the VMAC underhood air compressor installation kit.
1.2 Installation steps
The installation procedure in this manual has four main steps:
Preparing for Installation
Installing the Air Tank and Lines
Installing the Compressor and Oil Cooler
Installing the Control Components
1.3 Terms and symbols
This manual uses the following terms and symbols:
OEM - Original Equipment Manufacturer
HHCS - Hex Head Cap Screw (also called a hex bolt)
SHCS - Socket Head Cap Screw (also called an Allen head bolt)
This symbol indicates that there is additional information or special emphasis on a
specific procedure.
This symbol indicates that there is a possibility of personal injury or damage to the
equipment if the indicated warning is not followed.
1.4 Installation notes
1. It is important that you complete all the installation steps before operating the system.
2. Follow all safety precautions for under hood mechanical work.
3. Use Loctite 242 or equivalent on all engine-mounted fasteners.
4. All hoses, tubes and wires which are re-routed or shifted during installation must be secured so that
they do not contact excessively hot areas or sharp edges. Where possible, follow the routing
suggestions in this manual.
5. These installation instructions are intended as a general guide. In some instances, due to variations in
vehicle manufacture or if prior modifications have been made to the vehicle, it may be necessary to
carry out grinding, bending or rearranging operations for correct fit. These operations must follow
sound, standard shop practices.
6. Left and right definitions in this manual are determined when sitting in the driver’s seat, facing
forward.
7. All fasteners must be of the correct size and torqued according to the following specifications. Torque
specifications are in foot pounds (ft-lb) and are only applicable when Loctite is used. If the threads
are dry, add 20% to the torque values. Check that system hoses are all tight before running system.
Refer to setup procedure in owner’s manual before attempting to run air system.

Page 5
Table 1 – Torque values.
8. Different frame designations will affect the tank mounting position. You may have to move the tank
rearward from the standard position on your application. If you must move the tank, the lines may be
too short. If this is the case, measure the hose shortfall and order a “Hose Extender Kit”, P/N
(A410XXX)*
*The last three digits in the P/N indicate the length of the extension.
Example: A410055 is a 55-inch hose extender kit.

Table 2- Hose color codes.
9. Table 2 above illustrates the color code used by VMAC to define the different hose diameters.
Check that system hoses are all tight before running the system. Refer to setup procedure in the
Owner’s Manual before attempting to run this air system.
1.5 System Identification Number Plate
The System Identification Number Plate included with the kit must be attached to the vehicle at the time
of installation. Locate the plate as shown below. Mark and drill two holes using a 7/64” drill bit. Secure
the plate in position using the supplied #6 pan head, self-tapping screws.

3.1 Installing the tank brackets
1. Measure 12 inches back from the rear of the front spring hanger and mark the lower edge of the driver
side frame rail.
2. Measure 13 inches back along the rail from the previous mark and mark the lower edge of the driver
side frame rail. Re-adjust the park brake cable-mounting clip near the battery box, inside the frame
rail to allow adequate clearance for the tank brackets. Loosen the bolt that secures the clip and rotate
it downward then re-tighten the bolt.
Figure 1, tank bracket mounting positions Figure 2, bracket tab - towards the frame rail
3. Pass the threaded end of the 1/2 x 5 1/2 inch supplied tank bracket bolt through the lower of the top
holes in the metal backing strap mount bracket from the inside of the frame rail, (figure 2).
4. Hold the backing strap in place at the twelve-inch mark on the backside of the frame rail. Pass the
threaded end of the bracket bolt with washer through the second hole from the top on the tank mount
bracket. The frame rail will become sandwiched between the backing strap and the tank mount
bracket. Make sure that the tab on the tank mount bracket is facing towards the frame rail so that it
will slot into the top edge of the lower frame rail lip.
5. Install another 1/2-inch flat washer and Nylock nut and thread until hand tight. In a similar fashion,
pass the next 1/2 x 5 1/2 inch bolt through the lowest hole on the backing strap and through the hole
just below the tab on the tank mount bracket. Install the supplied 1/2-inch flat washer and Nylock nut.
Tighten both nuts on the assembly to specification, (figure 2).
6. Repeat the above procedure with the rear tank mount bracket and set this bracket at the rear marked
position on the frame rail, (figure 4).
3.2 Installing the C-clamps
1. Remove the 3/8 x 1 1/2 inch pinch bolts and nuts from both the supplied tank mount C-clamps. Line
up the four holes in each clamp half section, with the mounting holes in the tank mount brackets.
Install the four 3/8 x 1 inch bolts with washers in each C-clamp. Install the four supplied 3/8 inch nuts
and tighten to specification, (figure 5 & 6).
Page 13
2. Lift the tank into position so that the first clamp is six inches from the front of the tank and is resting
on the curved half sections of the installed C-clamps. Set the tank so that it sits vertical with the arrow
on the front of the tank pointing up. Refit the other half of the C-clamps with the 3/8 x 1 1/2 inch
pinch bolts and Nylock nuts. tighten enough just to loosely grip the tank, (figure 5).

3.3 Attaching the lines to the tank
1. Insert the threaded end of the 5/16-inch scavenge line into the fitting at the bottom rear of the tank.
Route the steel pipe section down the upper inside, (frame rail side) of the tank.
2. Insert the threaded end of the 1/4-inch pressure control line into the fitting at the top rear of the tank.
Route the steel pipe section down the upper inside, (frame rail side) of the tank alongside of the
scavenge line.
3. Spring open the two small insulated “P” clips and fit them over the two steel sections of the scavenge
and pressure control lines. Ensure the flat edge of the clips are facing the tank mounting brackets.
Page 14
4. Undo the top bolt from the first C- clamp and insert it through the “P” clip that holds the steel lines.
Re-insert this assembly through the other hole on the top half of the C-clamp that is attached to the
tank bracket on the frame rail. Install the supplied Nylock nut and tighten to specifications.
5. Follow the same procedure outlined in steps three and four to install a “P” clip on the second C-clamp
located 13 inches further forward on the tank. .
6. Feed the flexible hose ends of the 1/4 and 5/16 lines up into the engine compartment
7. Fit the straight connector end of the 1-inch main air discharge hose to the top fitting on the front of
the tank. Route the flexi hose up into the engine compartment with the 1/4 and 5/16 hoses.
8. Fit the straight end connector of the longest 5/8-inch oil return hose to the lower fitting on the front of
the tank. Route the hose up into the engine compartment.
