General Information
Optional Equipment Compatibility
While VMAC strives to design systems compatible with optional OEM equipment
(such as running boards), it is impractical to develop systems that
accommodate every OEM and aftermarket option or add-on. Whenever possible,
VMAC endeavors to advise of compatibility issues in the “Additional
Application Information” section of the manual. Even when specific optional
equipment is determined by VMAC to be incompatible, it does not preclude the
vehicle upfitter or end user from modifying the optional equipment to make it
compatible with the installed VMAC system. VMAC does not warrant or accept
responsibility or liability for the fitment, function, or safety of any
products modified in any way not expressly outlined in the installation
manual.
Before Starting
Read this manual prior to beginning the installation to ensure familiarity
with the components and how they will fit on the vehicle. Identify any
variations from the application list such as vehicle model, engines, or
optional equipment (e.g., dual alternator, active steering assist, etc.).
Open the package, unpack the components and identify them using the
Illustrated Parts List (IPL) included in the Fastener Pack.
Hose Information
Depending on other installed equipment, it might be necessary to move the
air/oil separation tank from its intended location. The hoses used in VMAC
compressor systems have a specific inner liner that is compatible with VMAC
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.
Ordering Parts
To order parts, contact a VMAC dealer. The dealer will ask for the VMAC serial
number, part number, description and quantity. Locate the nearest dealer
online at www.vmacair.com/dealer-locator or call 1-877-912-6605.
Special Tools Required
None.
- All fasteners must be torqued to specifications. Use manufacturers’ torque values for OEM fasteners.
- The torque values supplied in Table 1 are intended for VMAC supplied components, or for use as a guide in the absence of a torque value provided by an OEM.
- Apply Loctite 242 (blue) to all fasteners (except nylon lock nuts) unless otherwise stated.
- Torque values are with Loctite applied unless otherwise specified.

Maintenance and Repair Safety
-
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. -
Prior to performing any service, confirm that the system is shut down, depressurized, and has cooled. This system must be de-energized and locked out prior to performing any service work on the electrical system.
-
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.
-
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. -
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”.
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 to confirm the system is depressurized.
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.
Mounting Requirements and Considerations
- Failure to adhere to these requirements may render the equipment unsafe and could cause severe injury or death due to electrical shock.
- VMAC recommends working/consulting with a certified electrician and local regulatory bodies when installing this accessory.
- Certified electricians and local regulatory bodies can assist with any questions or concerns regarding proper installation and compliance with local regulations.
- The information in this section is critical to ensure proper operation of the system. Read these requirements prior to beginning the installation.
- Failure to adhere to these requirements may damage the generator or impact the overall quality of the installation.
- The receptacle enclosure is weather resistant.
- VMAC recommends mounting the enclosure in a cabinet.
- If mounting the enclosure inside a cabinet is not possible, the enclosure must be protected from driving rain, snow, dust, and other environmental contaminants that would be encountered while the vehicle is in motion or the system is being transported.
- This accessory includes a 20 ft extension harness.
- The harness can be shortened as needed to accommodate the installation.
- VMAC does not recommend lengthening the extension harness.
Installation
Read the “Maintenance and Repair Safety” section prior to performing any work on the system (beginning on page 9). Wear appropriate Personal Protective Equipment and follow all industry standard safety practices.
Mounting the Enclosure
- Loosen the gland nut at the base of the enclosure.
- Remove the (×6) fasteners connecting the face plate to the enclosure.
- Feed the cable into the box while removing the face plate to prevent straining the wire connections on the outlets.
- Mount the enclosure to the desired location via the (×4) 1/4 in mounting holes on the box (fasteners not included).
- Reinstall the face plate (use care when pulling the cable out of the enclosure; ensure enough slack is maintained to prevent straining the wire connections).
- Tighten the cable gland nut.
Electrical Connections
- Connect a ground wire with a minimum size of 10 AWG (not supplied) to the ground terminal located on the bottom of the enclosure.
- Connect the other end of the ground wire to the vehicle frame via a minimum 3/8 in post (this connection must be bare metal to metal contact)
- Slide the supplied cable gland, and terminal strip cover plate over the blunt cut end of the cable (Figure 3).
- Using a professional quality wire crimper, install the supplied ring connectors onto the blunt cut wires on the cable.
- Remove the (×4) fasteners securing the cover plate over the terminal strip. Discard the cover plate (Figure 4).
- Connect the wires from the remote panel to the GMF terminal strip (Table 2 and Figure 5).
- Using the (×4) fasteners removed earlier, install the new cover plate (Figure 6).
- Tighten the gland nut (Figure 6 on page 13).
- Install the supplied O-ring onto the 1 3/8 in hole plug.
- Install the plug into the cover plate (Figure 7).
