KEEP THIS MANUAL WITH THE WELDING/AIR COMPRESSOR
UNIT FOR USER REFERENCE
1.2 Important Safety Notice
The information contained in this manual is based on sound
engineering principles, research, extensive field experience and
technical information. Information is constantly changing with the
addition of new models, assemblies and service techniques. If a
discrepancy is noted in this service manual, contact VMAC prior to
initiating or proceeding with service. Current information may clarify
the matter. Any person with knowledge of such discrepancies who
performs service and repair assumes all risks.
Only proven service procedures are recommended. Anyone who
departs from the specific instructions provided in this manual must
first assure that their safety and that of others is not being
compromised and that there will be no adverse effects on
performance or the operational safety of the equipment.
The hoses used in VMAC compressor systems have a
specific inner liner that is compatible with our
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.
Neither VMAC nor Lincoln will be held responsible for any liability,
injuries, loss or damage to individuals or to equipment as a result of
the failure of any person to properly adhere to the procedures set out
in this manual or standard safety practices. Safety should be your
first consideration in performing service operations. If you have any
questions concerning the procedures in this manual or require any
more information on details that are not included in this manual,
please contact VMAC before beginning repairs.

1.3 Safety Messages
This symbol is used to call your attention to instructions
concerning your personal safety. Watch for this symbol;
it points out important safety precautions, it means,
“attention, become alert! Your personal safety is involved.
Read the message that follows and be alert to the
possibility of personal injury or death. Be alert; your
safety is involved. While it is impossible to warn about
every conceivable hazard, let good common sense be
your guide.
This symbol is used to call your attention to instructions
on a specific procedure that if not followed may damage
or reduce the useful life of the compressor.
This symbol is used to call your attention to additional
instructions or special emphasis on a specific procedure.
Safety Precautions
Read this information before operating the compressor for the first
time. Follow the information and procedures in this manual for
operation, maintenance and repair. Observe the following items to
reduce the chance of personal injury or equipment damage.
Follow all safety precautions for mechanical work. Moving drive belts
or fan blades are an extreme hazard. Stay clear of all moving parts
when the system is operating. Only qualified personnel should
perform maintenance and repair on system components with the
welder/compressor shutdown.
Proper service and repair are important to the safety of the service
technician and the safe, reliable operation of the equipment. Always
use genuine VMAC replacement parts; do not use any substitutes.
The procedures described in this service manual are effective
methods of service and repair. Some procedures may require the
use of tools specially designed for a specific purpose. Anyone using
a replacement part, service procedure or tool must first determine
that neither their safety nor the safe operation of the equipment will
be compromised by the replacement part, service procedure or tool
selected.

This manual contains various warnings, cautions and notices that
must be observed to reduce the risk of personal injury during service
or repair and the possibility that improper service or repair may
damage the equipment or render it unsafe. Be aware that it is
impossible to warn of all the possible hazardous consequences that
might result from failure to follow these instructions.
Fire and Explosion Hazards
Fire in the compressor can cause an explosion and flame
projection. Should this occur, there is potential for serious
injury or death.
Vaporized oil propelled by high-pressure air is an explosive
mixture.
You must observe the following when operating the compressor:
•Constant vigilance is necessary around high-energy
equipment
•Be attentive for unexplained changes in operation
parameters and record any changes
•Never bypass or disable the oil thermistor
•Never expose the tank or compressor to extreme heat
•Ensure that the air entering the compressor is free of
flammable vapors
Personal Hazards
Follow all safe work practices. Wear the appropriate safety
equipment.
Do not breathe the compressor air. Vaporized oil is a
respiratory hazard.
Always use the appropriate personal protective
equipment, particularly eye and hearing protection
when operating air-powered equipment.

The compressor system is under sufficient pressure
that a leak could force the air/oil mixture through the
skin directly into your bloodstream. This will cause
death.
Never adjust or attempt to make any repairs to the
compressor system while engine is running. Components
and hoses under pressure could separate suddenly and fly
out and cause serious injury or death.
Never perform maintenance procedures on the system until
the Welder/Compressor has been shut down for at least 5
minutes to ensure the system is fully depressurized. After 5
minutes open the discharge valve to ensure the system is
depressurized. Failure to depressurize the system could
cause parts to separate explosively. Flying parts could cause
serious injury or death. Air/oil mixture could be sprayed out
with sufficient force to penetrate the skin, which could cause
serious injury or death.
The compressor and the compressor system gets very hot
during operation, contact with the components or the oil can
cause serious burns. Allow sufficient time for the system to
cool before performing service
Components and hoses under pressure could separate
suddenly and fly out and cause serious injury or death. If
equipped the auxiliary air tank must be drained before
servicing any components in the compressor system.
Pressure regulator and/or lubricator
The compressor can produce air pressures up to
approximately 175 PSI (1207 kPa). It is the responsibility of
the user to know the pressure and air flow requirements of
the tools powered by the air compressor system. An
appropriate air pressure regulator and lubricator can be
externally installed to the outside of the pressure supply
valve. Failure to regulate the air pressure may cause
damage to the tool.
