1. COMPRESSOR/COMPRESSED AIR SAFETY
MEA DISCLAIMS ALL LIABILITIES FOR DAMAGE OR LOSS OF EQUIPMENT AND PROPERTY,
PERSONAL INJURIES (INCLUDING DEATH), AND CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES ARISING OUT OF
ANY MEA SYSTEM NOT USED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE OPERATOR’S MANUAL.
ALL UNITS ARE SHIPPED WITH A DETAILED OPERATOR’S MANUAL. THIS MANUAL CONTAINS
VITAL INFORMATION FOR THE SAFE USE AND EFFICIENT OPERATION OF THE UNIT. READ THE
OPERATOR’S MANUAL BEFORE STARTING THE UNIT. FAILURE TO ADHERE TO THE
INSTRUCTIONS COULD RESULT IN SERIOUS BODILY HARM OR PROPERTY DAMAGE.
Care is required when working with an air compressor or compressed air. Compressed air is one of the many
ways energy can be stored. Releasing the stored energy in an uncontrolled manner can result in catastrophic
consequences. Death and permanent disability are possibilities that can occur due to misuse. The following
are suggested as minimum precautions to be used when operating the SMARTPACK Air Compressor. It is
important that each work site shall perform a risk analysis and produce a procedure to eliminate or control
the hazardous condition to minimise the risk to personnel and equipment. Health and Safety Regulations
necessitate that this is a compulsory process to be carried out on each site. These, together with site specific
safety procedures will help to minimize the risk of accidents, personnel injury and loss of life. It is the
responsibility of the employer to ensure that the work site is safe for all employees and that the safety
procedures are followed by all employees.
SAFETY WHEN OPERATING AN AIR COMPRESSOR
•Do not bypass or disable the oil temperature and pressure sensors –unless planning on running to
failure (MEA does not recommend the practice).
•Do not expose the tank or compressor to extreme heat.
•Do not perform any service or repairs until the system has been completely relieved of air pressure.
•Maintenance and repairs on the system should only be done by qualified personnel.
•Do not operate the compressor while driving (vehicle mounted systems).
•Do not tamper with the pressure relief valve.
•Follow safe work practice, wear the appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE) when operating
air-powered equipment, particularly eye and hearing protection.
•Avoid contact with rotating components, ensure all safety guards are in place.
•Avoid all contact with pressurized air. If it penetrates the skin, it can enter blood stream and cause
death.
•Vaporized oil propelled by high pressure is an explosive mixture. To prevent compressor explosion
or fire, make sure that the air entering the compressor is free of flammable vapors.
•Do not breathe the compressor air, vaporized oil is a respiratory hazard.
•Stay clear of all moving parts when the system is operating.
•Follow safety procedures for service operations as set by the authority.
•Run the system at idle speed and under no load conditions for 2 to 3 minutes before turning the
system off to allow system cooling and lubrication to occur.

HYDRAULIC SAFETY
ALL HYDRAULIC EQUIPMENT MUST BE TREATED WITH EXTREME
RESPECT AND CARE. AS THE WORKING FLUID IS UNDER EXTREME
PRESSURE, UP TO 5000PSI, WITH HIGH FLOW RATES GENERATING
HIGH HEAT, ALL APPROPRIATE SAFETY PRECAUTIONS MUST BE
TAKEN IN TO ACCOUNT AND SAFETY EQUIPMENT MUST BE WORN IF
IN CONTACT WITH THE EQUIPMENT UNDER OPERATION. ALL LEAKS,
NO MATTER HOW MINOR, MUST BE RECTIFIED IMMEDIATELY AND
ANY WEAR IN THE HOSES MUST BE ADDRESSED AND EQUIPMENT
REPLACED. HYDRAULIC INJECTION IS DANGEROUS AND LIFE
THREATENING AND EVEN A PINHOLE LEAK WILL BLANKET AN ENTIRE
ENCLOSED SPACE VERY QUICKLY WITH HAZARDOUS VAPORIZED
HYDRAULIC OIL MIST.

3. OPERATING PROCEDURE
CAREFULLY READ THE OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS BELOW. FAILURE
TO ADHERE TO THE FOLLOWING COMPRESSOR OPERATING
INSTRUCTION COULD RESULT IN SERIOUS INJURY.
1. Check Oil Level.
2. Check Hoses and fittings for leaks. Make sure the hoses are not loosened nor damaged.
3. Check and make sure hydraulic supply/return/ (drain optional) are installed correctly.
4. Check Air Filter for Blockage.
5. Check the Safety circuit switch operation (Reset Switch).
6. Switch on the vehicle and activate the vehicle flow control (turn PTO on; for vehicle mounted system).
In other systems, start the hydraulic system by starting the hydraulic pump.
7. Turn on the compressor either at the control box (or in the cab) and ensure it is in the unloaded
state (check load/unload switch).
8. Turn on the unload/load switch to load and see if the compressor builds pressure to the regulated
setting.
9. Plug an air tool into the air outlet and operate. Ensure that the compressor works as required.
10. When the work is finished, switch the compressor to unload.
11. It is good practice to allow the compressor to run under no load for 2-3 minutes.
12. Switch off at either the control box or in Cab and switch off the vehicle.
13. It is good practice to check for any visible signs of hydraulic fluid leakage and or compressor fluid
leakage after each use.

4. INSTALLATION
The SMARTPACK 40H is designed as an integrated compressor system for connection to an existing hydraulic
system. The SMARTPACK 40H only requires connection of a pressure line in and a return line out (optional: a
motor drain line) connections to the tank line and a method for controlling flow such as solenoid valve and flow
orifice.
WARNING(!) When setting the compressor unit up, ensure there is a safety mechanism in place to
prevent any excessive flow or pressure into the compressor hydraulic circuit. MEA will not warrant any
damage caused and will void warranty due to inadequate safety protection of the existing hydraulic
system.
IMPORTANT: COMPRESSOR MUST ROTATE IN THE COUNTER-CLOCKWISE DIRECTION WHEN
LOOKING AT THE COMPRESSOR SHAFT END.
1. Install SMARTPACK 40H into position on the vehicle using 6 x M12 x 1.75 Grade 8.8 Fasteners and
rubber isolators between the vehicle and compressor. Rubber isolator can be supplied if required (MEA
P/N 7251-P0032).
2. Install the hydraulic lines including any flow control (such as unloader valve), i.e., Pressure in, Tank out.
3. Connect the electrical harness to the vehicle.
a. If purchasing the electrical control box; be sure to place an in-line weatherproof fuse (30A –
12V and 15A –24V) within 300mm of the vehicle battery.
b. If purchasing the basic electrical control (Murphy) ensure the voltage supplied is compatible
with your vehicle’s voltage rating.
4. Connect the pressure gauge line from the control box to the compressor (black nylon tubing). Ensure
when you connect that the tube is inserted correctly.
5. Check the level of oil in the compressor. Fill if required to the level indicated.
6. Start the vehicle and turn on PTO to start hydraulic pump.
7. Turn on the compressor either at the control box or in cab and test the hydraulic solenoid for operation.
8. Turn the unload/load switch to load and check the compressor builds pressure to the regulated pressure
setting.
9. Plug an air tool into the air outlet and operate, checking that the compressor works as required, run for
10mins. Whilst it is running check for oil leaks and air leaks in any of the hosing and nylon tubing.
10. Unload the compressor, switch off the control box, switch off the vehicle and check for any visible
signs of hydraulic fluid leakage. When cool (safe to touch), and switched off, re-check compressor
oil level
ENSURE THAT A WATER SEPARATOR IS MOUNTED AS FAR FROM THE COMPRESSOR AS POSSIBLE
OR THAT IT HAS AT LEAST TWO METRES OF HOSING BETWEEN THE COMPRESSOR DISCHARGE
AND SEPARATOR INLET.
IMPORTANT: PLEASE CONTACT MOBILE ENERGY AUSTRALIA FOR MORE INFORMATION IF YOU
HAVE ANY QUESTIONS REGARDING THE SETUP AND OPERATION OF PRODUCTS.

5. SCHEDULE MAINTENANCE
The maintenance intervals recommended are based on standard operating conditions. The intervals for
inspection, lubrication and maintenance given herein are maximum intervals and it should be noted to schedule
the maintenance accordingly to sites.
When the unit is being operated in a dusty environment, in high ambient temperatures or in other unusual
conditions, an assessment needs to be done for shorter service interval.
A planned program of periodic inspection and maintenance will help to avoid premature failure and costly
repairs. Daily visual inspections should become routine.
