SECTION 1. SPECIFICATIONS
1-1. GENERAL
The IMT DA425EA air compressor is an underhood,
engine mounted, single stage, air cooled, 4-cylinder,
pressure lubricated unit, with a delivery rate of 25
CFM at 1400 RPM.The compressor is belt driven
from the engine crankshaft, through a magnetic
clutch. It is engaged and disengaged by use of an air
pressure sensing, electric switch. The pressure
switch is preset on factory installed units at
approximately 120 PSI to engage, and 150 PSI to
disengage.
CAUTION
OPERATING THE COMPRESSOR AT PRESSURES
ABOVE 150 PSI WILL SHORTEN THE SERVICE LIFE
AND VOID THE WARRANTY.
This section pertains to the installation of the IMT
DA425EA compressor and related components.
Because installations will vary somewhat, dependent
on the chassis, it will describe the installation in
general terms only.
2-2. AIR COMPRESSOR
Each installation will differ dependent on the chassis
make, model, year of manufacture, and optional
equipment. Refer to the mounting kit for specific
information relating to your application.
2-3. UNDERDASH SWITCH
The installation kit will include the correct bracket
for the installation of the compressor, power switch
and the engine speed control. The bracket may
house switches for other functions, depending on the
total system.
1. Drill mounting holes in the underside of the dash.
It may be possible to utilize existing holes.
2. Install the switch, or switches, needed for your
installation.
2-4. UNDERHOOD SWITCH
The purpose of the underhood switch is to prevent
the compressor from running unless the vehicle’s
hood is raised. This will ensure sufficient air flow to
the compressor during operation.
1. Select a location for the mercury switch that will
provide protection for the glass envelope and keep
the switch contacts open when the hood is closed.
The mercury should not be in contact with the
contacts to accomplish this.
2. Drill a 1/16 inch hole in the desired location and
install the switch bracket. Install the switch in the
bracket. Connect one lead to the underdash switch,
the other to the compressor pressure switch. When
wired properly , the switch in the cab must be “ON”
and the hood must be raised in order for the
compressor to operate.
CAUTION
WARRANTY ON THE COMPRESSOR WILL BE VOID IF
THE UNDERHOOD SAFETY SWITCH IS NOT USED.
FAILURE TO USE THIS SWITCH WILL ALLOW THE
COMPRESSOR TO OPERATE WITH THE HOOD
CLOSED AND WILL CAUSE OVERHEATING.
3. Route the needed wiring harness to the rear of the
bracket and connect to the proper switches.
4. Securely fasten the assembled switch bracket to
the dash with bolts, nuts, and washers provided.
NOTE
IF THE DASHBOARD IS PLASTIC, THE GROUND WIRE
MUST BE CONNECTED TO CHASSIS GROUND. THE
PLASTIC DASHBOARD IS NOT CONDUCTIVE AND
WILL NOT PROVIDE A GROUND.
5. Connect the positive side of the compressor
switch to the power switch. Connect the other side
of the switch to the underhood safety switch and the
indicator lamp.
6. Install the throttle cable mounting bracket to the
underside of the dash, near the switch bracket.
Install the cable and connect to the carburetor
linkage. Make certain that there is enough free play
to allow the engine to return to normal idle.

SECTION 3. OPERATION
3-1. GENERAL
Each compressor is bench tested under load at the
factory to ensure proper break-in and operation.
While it is not necessary to follow any break-in
procedure, the following checks should be made
before putting the unit into service, as well as,
periodically during use.
1. Before start-up:
A. Check the oil level in the compressor crankcase
with the dipstick on the unit. If oil is needed, use
only IMTs synthetic compressor oil.
B. Check the air intake filter pads on each head to
make certain that they are clean and unobstructed.
Dirty filters are a possible cause of reduced air
output.
3-2. OPERATION
To use the compressor, raise the hood to provide
adequate ventilation, start the vehicle engine, and
engage the compressor by operating the compressor
switch in the cab. On systems without automatic
engine speed control, adjust the engine RPM with
the manual throttle cable to maintain the proper
RPM setting while the compressor is pumping.
The system will now function automatically. It will
engage the compressor clutch when the air pressure
is below 120 psi, and disengage when the air
pressure reaches 150 psi.
NOTE
ON UNITS WITH MANUAL ENGINE SPEED CONTROL,
THE ENGINE RPM WILL INCREASE WHEN THE
COMPRESSOR CLUTCH DISENGAGES.
2. With the compressor engaged:
On units having the automatic speed control option,
check the engine RPM for proper setting (1400
RPM max.) under compressor load.
CAUTION
THIS UNIT IS EQUIPPED WITH AN UNDERHOOD
SAFETY SWITCH WHICH REQUIRES THA T THE HOOD
BE RAISED WHILE THE COMPRESSOR IS IN
OPERATION. THIS IS INSTALLED TO ENSURE THAT
THE UNIT HAS ADEQUATE VENTILATION, AND THAT
THE UNIT IS NOT INADVERTANTLY LEFT ON WHEN
NOT IN USE AND THE VEHICLE IS IN MOTION.
BYPASSING THIS SAFETY DEVICE, OR OPERATING
THIS UNIT IN EXCESS OF 1400 RPM, WILL VOID THE
WARRANTY, AND WILL SHORTEN THE NORMAL
SERVICE LIFE OF THE COMPRESSOR.
