3.3 DETERMINING THE
COMPRESSOR UNIT
MOUNTING LOCATION
When determining the location to mount the
RS45 unit, the following criteria must be
taken into consideration:
• Refer to Section 3.5, Installation. The
location must allow for the machine
dimensions (Figures 3-3A through 3-3D),
and additional space requirements for
minimum cooling, access and
maintenance.
• The mounting surface must be level and
able to accommodate the four [4]
mounting bolts of the base frame. Refer
to Figures 3-3A through 3-3D for
mounting hole location dimensions.
• The mounting surface must be able to
support the units weight (196 lbs.).
• The external display must be easily
visible to the operator.
It is recommended, for most installations, to
mount the compressor on the driver’s side of
the vehicle. The unit should be situated in
such a manner that the fan (rear) and intake
side (front) are not obstructed. Do not place
the compressor in any location where it can
intake exhaust fumes, dust or debris.
3.4 HYDRAULIC SYSTEM
OVERVIEW
IMPORTANT
Refer to Figures 3-3A through 3-3D for
hydraulic pump system connections.
Please take into consideration the following:
• The hydraulic flow and pressure
requirements of the system.
• A continuous hydraulic load is necessary
when compressor is running.
• The duty cycle and ambient operating
temperatures.
• Other hydraulic equipment which may
share that same hydraulic supply system
(Vanair
and hydraulic circuit).
®
recommends a dedicated pump
WARNING
Follow all applicable safety
recommendations as outlined in Section 1:
Safety of this manual.
WARNING
Improperly, or non-connected lines will
damage the equipment.
The hydraulic hoses must be run to the
machine. Verify that hoses are hooked up
properly to ensure proper flow. Also, verify
that the hoses are laid out properly so that
no chafing or kinking of the hoses is
possible. Refer to Section 7.18, HoseInstallation Guide, for assistance with
proper hose layout and connecting functions.
Vanair® highly recommends consulting a
hydraulic supply expert for specifying the
correct hydraulic supply components for
vehicle-side integration (including oil
reservoir size, hydraulic pressure relief,
hose size, etc.) for your application.
3.4.1 HYDRAULIC SYSTEM FILTRATION
IMPORTANT
Contaminated hydraulic fluid allowed to
enter the pump will cause malfunction of the
pump controls. Hydraulic system hoses
must be flushed and cleaned prior to being
connected to the unit.
PAGE - 8090126-OP_r0 (JAN-2018)
Vanair recommends using a 10 micron oil
filter on the hydraulic oil return line. Flow
rating of the filter must be equal to, or greater
than,

NOTE
The temperature of the hydraulic oil should
not exceed 160°F due to the rating of the
Vanair-supplied hydraulic motor.

3.4.2 HYDRAULIC OIL RESERVOIR
3.4.2.1 DETERMINING RESERVOIR SIZE
In a conventional hydraulic system, minimum
tank size, in gallons, should be equal to the
maximum GPM flow rate, times two (x 2).
3.4.2.2 DETERMINING RESERVOIR
SHAPE
The reservoir structure should be tall and
narrow rather than shallow and broad
(Figure 3-1). A tall, narrow tank is
recommended because:
1. The oil level is well above suction line
opening, avoiding the
drawing air into the pump due to a vortex
or
“whirlpool” effect within the tank during
operation flow.

possibility of
2. Allows for better oil level tolerance level
of the system if vehicle operates at an
unusual (slightly off level) vehicle angle.
3. To keep return flow well below the
surface so it does not break the surface
and cause aeration (cavitation) of the oil.
3.4.2.3 MANDATORY RESERVOIR
FEATURES
• The reservoir should incorporate the
following design features:
• In terms of location of the reservoir tank
within the hydraulic system, note that the
hydraulic pump’s inlet line (suction line
out from the reservoir to the pump)
should be located near the bottom of the
tank, well below the oil level. The suction
line should protrude a minimum of two
(2”) inches into the reservoir to keep it
away from potential contaminant surface
buildup.
• A baffle or baffles should be included to
prevent sloshing, or centrifugal motion of
the oil; the goal is to break up direct flow
of the oil from the return point to the
suction point. This allows for the cooling
action contact with the tanks’ inner
surfaces, and promote separation of any
air or contaminants that interact with the
flowing oil.
• An ideal baffle design would position
several (but not too many) baffles to
promote an ‘S’ shape flow within the
reservoir, as viewed from above. The
area of the end gaps should be at least
twice the area of the suction line
diameter.
• A drain port with plug, situated at the
lowest point of the reservoir, is needed to
assure complete draining. It should be
installed using an
which does not protrude above the inner
surface of the floor of the tank. It should
be visible and
with sufficient space available for
catching the waste oil.
• If the return line entrance to the tank is
located near the top, it should be
extended downward within the tank to
minimize foaming and aeration of the
circulating oil. This extends oil integrity,
which in turn helps to maintain system
performance and reliability.

• An in-line filter on the return line is
needed to protect the system against
contaminants being introduced into the
oil. The filter should be mounted
externally from the reservoir in a location
that allows for easy of service access.
• A breather and fill cap is needed at the
oil fill port, which needs to be located
above the system oil level. The breather
cap acts to both filter air that is drawn
into the reservoir as the oil level
diminishes, and bleeds air out as the
level is regained. This maintains
constant atmospheric pressure in the air
volume within the reservoir.
• A sight-glass provides a direct visual
indication of the oil level without having
to open, or otherwise access, the
reservoir.
3.4.2.4 RECOMMENDED RESERVOIR
OPTIONS
Although not essential for an adequately
functioning reservoir, the following
components will contribute to maximize the
hydraulic system’s efficiency and maintain a
quality operational level.
• Magnetic drain plug: Attracts and
concentrates ferrous contaminants at the
drain plug source for easier accessibility
and removal when cleaning tank interior.
• A temperature gauge: Located in
approximation to, or built in to, the sight
glass assembly allows for temperature
reading at a glance.
• Filler port strainer: Prevents large
contaminant particles from blending with
system oil when adding new oil.
• Return line diffuser (splash) plate reduces
velocity of oil flow before return oil
stream merges with the main reservoir
oil volume.
• A reservoir heater: For those systems that
are exposed to cold climate ambients,
having the ability to preheat the hydraulic
oil prior to start up will make for easier
startups, and reduce the strain of
warming up the system under adverse
cold conditions.
3.4.2.5 RESERVOIR FEATURES TO
AVOID
A strainer used to screen the suction line is
not recommended for systems designed for
mobile equipment use. Having equipment
that likely experiences long suction lines,
cold startups and non-tracked or infrequent
maintenance practices may cause this
strainer to potentially promote system strain
(cavitation) than prolong fluid integrity
through filtration.
A pressurized reservoir is not recommended
for vehicles, as its complexity invites too
much potential for loss of system reliability if
it is not properly maintained.
3.4.3 RECOMMENDED HYDRAULIC
SYSTEM SPECIFICATIONS
WARNING
Do not operate machine without hydraulic
system completely assembled.
Refer to Figures 3-3A through 3-3D.
• Flow controller is optional to reduce flow if
necessary. Consult Vanair
HYDRAULIC LINES
The following is a minimum requirement and
NO quick disconnects may be used. Lines
are to be kept as straight and short as
possible.
• Pressure port = Standard, #12, 3/4” hose
(located at manifold block)
• Load sense = #4 JIC = 1/4” hose (Used for
closed center system only)
• Pressure relief/case drain = #6 JIC = 3/8”
hose
• Hydraulic suction = Standard, #16, 1”
hose
3.4.4 STANDARDS GUIDELINES
• Hydraulic pressure relief factory set at
3200 psi.

3.5 INSTALLATION
3.5.1 MACHINE LOCATION
It is vital to locate the machine so that there
is no restriction of cooling air through the
enclosure (Refer to Figure 3-2). Cooling air
enters the enclosure at the rear (cooler)
package end of the machine, passes through
the cooler and exits through vents in the
upper sides and the front.
3.5.2 CLEARANCES
Refer to Figure 3-2. Ensure that adequate
surrounding clearance space exists around
the machine to allow for adequate cooling
ventilation through the canopy shroud,
unobstructed service access, and a clear
view of the control panel. An approximate
recommendation of ten (10) inches
clearance, minimum, is needed for proper
cooling circulation, plus any additional
service access room included where
needed.
3.5.3 MOUNTING
Mounting surface or support should be
adequate for the weight of the machine (196
lbs.), and should be level for normal
operation. Mounting holes are located in the
frame footing for four (4) 1/2” hold down
bolts.
3.5.4 SERVICE CONNECTIONS
Refer to Figure 3-3A through 3-3D. Service
connections are conveniently grouped at the
lower rear section of the unit in the base
frame.
3.5.5 ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS
Refer to Figure 3-3A through 3-3D. This
system is offered with either 12V DC or 24V
DC circuits.
VANAIR MANUFACTURING, INC.
(844) VAN-SERV • www.vanair.com
3.5.6 HYDRAULIC SUPPLY CIRCUIT
Refer to the hydraulic flow schematic
drawings (Sections 7.16A through 7.16D). It
is recommended that the compressor unit
possesses a separate pump/flow/return
hydraulic circuit to other hydraulic
equipment. This is to prevent the possibility
of pressure/flow drops that may occur if
other hydraulically-powered equipment is
activated during compressor operation,
which may in turn, cause the compressor to
stall out. Alternatively, use of a diverter valve
will permit hydraulics to power different
equipment selectively.
3.5.7 ROUTING
Refer to Figures 3-3A through 3-3D, and the
wiring diagram. Ensure that all supply hoses
and electrical wiring are correctly specified,
adequately supported, and do not touch or
rest on any sharp edges. Wiring should be
protected with split loom to prevent
corrosion, and consequently, loss due to
down time.

4.3 NORMAL OPERATION
Following is an overview of the normal
operation of the Vanair RS45 hydraulic
compressor system from start-up to shutdown. This overview of a typical sequence of
events may not cover all situations.
IMPORTANT
If start-up and shut-down procedures are
not followed, damage to the system and its
components may occur.
4.3.1 INITIAL START-UP PROCEDURE:
PRE-CHECKS
Following are step-by-step instructions for
the initial start-up of the RS45 hydraulic
compressor system:
1. Ensure the compressor is positioned on a
level surface so that the proper amounts
of oil can be added, if required.
2. Unit should be bolted down.
4. Check compressor oil level
Figures 4-2 and 4-3)
(refer to
.
NOTE
An alternate compressor oil level check can
be accomplished via the compressor sight
glass. Refer to Table 5A, Key #1, in Section
5, Maintenance for details.
Add or drain if necessary to accomplish the
recommended compressor oil level.
WARNING
DO NOT remove caps, plugs and/or other
components when compressor is running
or pressurized. Stop compressor and de-
pressurize system prior to maintenance of
system. Relieve the entire system pressure
by opening the service valve, which will
vent all pressure to the atmosphere.
Wear personal protective equipment such
as gloves, work boots, and eye and
hearing protection as required for the task
at hand.
WARNING
Do not rely on hoses to hold the module in

5. Ensure hydraulic oil to pump inlet, and
prime if necessary.
6. Ensure service valve on compressor is
closed.
7. Engage hydraulic system (PTO or
hydraulic supply) and allow hydraulic oil
to circulate back to tank. When solenoid
is activated, oil should quickly circulate to
the hydraulic motor on the compressor,
and start producing air.
8. Check for leaks.
9. Refer to Figure 4-5. Press the START
button on the Controller, and wait for
the Main Screen (default is the
Pressure Screen). Check pressure and
temperature screens. Pressure may

4.3.3 ROUTINE SHUTDOWN PROCEDURE
IMPORTANT
If start-up and shut-down procedures are
not followed, damage to the system and
its components may occur.
IMPORTANT
Do not stop the engine suddenly! Stop the
engine after approximately five (5)
minutes of unloaded idling.
1. Close service valve.
2. Allow compressor system to unload
and cool down for approximately five
(5) minutes.
3. Shut off hydraulic power supply.
4.3.4 OPERATING CONDITIONS
1. Operate only in well-ventilated areas.
2. Ensure there are no obstructions of
cooling air intakes and outlets around
the machine.
3. Do not leave anything resting on top of
the machine. Hot cooling air will
generate high heat and must not be
restricted.
4. Operate machine with the top cover
closed.
5. Refer to specifications for operating
parameters.
4.3.5 EXTREME CONDITION OPERATION
When operating in extreme hot or cold
conditions, extra attention should be given to
any indications that could lead to a serious
problem. Machine review and maintenance
check schedules should be more frequent
than the normal suggestions given in
A good maintenance program is the key to
long compressor life. This section contains a
program that, when adhered to, should keep
the compressor in top operating condition.
However, it should be understood that these
intervals are for normal operation in a good
clean environment. More frequent
inspections, oil changes and general
maintenance should be carried out in dusty
environments, high ambient temperatures,
heavy load applications or extended light
load conditions.
Follow the prescribed periodic maintenance
schedules given in Table 5A: RoutineMaintenance Schedule, in this section as
recommended. Failure to follow the
prescribed periodic maintenance at the
recommended intervals will impair the
package safety, performance characteristics,
shorten the package’s life, and will
negatively affect the warranty coverage of
the package.
IMPORTANT
It is important to keep in mind that
operating the compressor package in a
severe environment may require more
frequent service intervals than prescribed
in the periodic maintenance schedule.
Before starting the compressor system,
inspect the machine package for any
suspect condition that may cause a safety
hazard or hamper operation. Replace
damaged components with Genuine Vanair
Replacement Parts.
WARNING
Follow all applicable safety
recommendations as outlined in Section 1:
Safety of this manual.
WARNING
DO NOT remove caps, plugs and/or other
components when compressor is running or
pressurized. Stop compressor and de-pressurize
system prior to maintenance of system.
Wear personal protective equipment such as gloves,
work shoes, and eye and hearing protection as
required for the task at hand.
WARNING
DO NOT work on any electrical components unless
the battery is disconnected.
WARNING
Follow the prescribed periodic maintenance (PM)
schedule as recommended. Perform the required PM
schedule at recommended intervals.
Failure to follow this prescribed periodic
maintenance at the recommended intervals will
impair the package safety, performance
characteristics, shorten the package’s life, and will
negatively affect the warranty coverage of the
package.
CAUTION
Compressors and drive motors generate heat and
create hot surfaces. Use caution when operating or
servicing the compressor system. Some surfaces
and components may be hot.

5.2 MACHINE MAINTENANCE
SCHEDULE
Refer to Table 5A: Routine Maintenance
Schedule. A routine maintenance schedule
based on time and/or hours logged, is given
in Table 5A . The intervals are determined
from machine usage under typical operation
conditions. However, the operator must be
aware that operating conditions will vary
depending on such things as specific
customer requirements, environmental
temperatures and cleanliness of the ambient
air. With this in mind, the specifications given
in Table 5A should be used as a guideline
instead of a fixed agenda. A safe approach
to routine maintenance would be to perform
the given maintenance task more frequently
under harsher conditions.
Vanair provides a routine maintenance parts
list in Section 7, Table 7A. Should a non-
routine part need replacement or servicing,
peruse the various parts list illustrations in
Section 7 to help determine the exact part
and part number in question. Our parts and
service departments are ready to assist in
identifying and/or replacing non-routine
parts.
For assistance in obtaining routine
maintenance or replacement parts, consult
Section 7.1, Parts Ordering Procedure,
and Table 7A: Recommended Spare Parts
List.
5.3 REPLACEMENT PARTS
Replacement parts should be purchased

PROCEDURES
Procedures and schedule intervals can be
found in Table 5A: Routine Maintenance
Schedule for routine maintenance items.
Though many components on the machine
will not require maintenance throughout the
productive lifespan of the compressor, some
parts are suseptable to wear on an
indeterminable basis, due to the many
factors involved with day to day operation.
Parts and component group assemblies
found to be most prone to indiscernible wear
factors can be readily identified in this
section, and also by perusing the component
listing found in Table 7A: RecommendedSpare Parts List. For parts not identified in
this section, nor in Table 7A, refer to the
itemize diagrams found in Section 7:Illustrated Parts List to determine the item’s
identification and part number.
Replacement parts should be purchased
through your local Vanair
where the Vanair RS45 hydraulic
compressor was purchased. If, for any
reason, parts are not available in this
manner, they can be purchased through
Vanair directly.
WARNING
Follow all applicable safety
recommendations as outlined in Section 1:
Safety of this manual.

WARNING
DO NOT remove caps, plugs and/or other
components when compressor is running
or pressurized. Stop compressor and de-
pressurize system prior to maintenance of
system. Relieve the entire system
pressure by opening the air tank drain/
vent valve, which will vent all pressure to
the atmosphere.
Wear personal protective equipment such
as gloves, work boots, and eye and
hearing protection as required for the task
at hand.
Refer to Figure 5-1. Open fill cap SLOWLY;
contents may be under pressure. Loosen
cap only enough to allow top of cap vent
to relieve any possible residual pressure
before removing cap all the way.
5.4.1 ALIGNMENT
There is no need to adjust the compressor
unit/hydraulic motor alignment; alignment is
achieved via the motor-to-unit adapter. In the
case where the drive coupling element
needs to be serviced (refer to Section
5.4.7), alignment is automatically achieved
by securing the motor to the unit via the
motor adapter.
However, in the case where the coupling
element needed to be replaced, or if the
alignment is such that there is excessive
machine vibration, etc., there is a hub
Compressors and engines generate heat
and create hot surfaces. Use caution when
operating or servicing equipment. Some
surfaces and components may be hot.

5.4.2 SETTING THE MINIMUM PRESSURE
VALVE
WARNING
Before performing maintenance:
Shut down machine, relieve all system
pressure and lock out all power, as per the
Safety Section of this manual.
NOTE THAT THE SYSTEM CAN BE
STARTED REMOTELY:
Always clearly tag the start-up
instrumentation against accidental system
start-ups during maintenance.
Refer to Figure 5-2 and the following
procedure:
1. Start the machine and allow it to assume
idle speed.
2. Start the compressor and allow it to
accumulate pressure build-up.
3. Using the electronic display as a guide,
adjust the grub screw [C] until minimum
pressure level is achieved.
4. Tighten the lock nut [D] to secure the
grub screw at the proper minimum
pressure level.
5.4.3 COMPRESSOR THERMAL VALVE
The thermal valve controls the hydraulic oil
temperature and permits for rapid hydraulic
oil warm up. The valve commences to pass a
portion of the oil through the cooler at 100°F
(37.8°C), and is fully open at 125°F (51.7°C).
The valve is preset, and cannot be adjusted.
If maintenance is required due to a faulty or
failing valve, the complete valve should be
replaced. Consult the Vanair Parts
Department to obtain a replacement valve.
5.4.4 SERVICING THE SYSTEM CIRCUIT
BREAKER, FUSES AND RELAY
Consult Figure 5-3. for the locations of the
fuses and circuit breaker. Vanair
recommends using a fuse removal tool,
though pliers will suffice, when removing the
fuse.
PAGE - 30090126-OP_r0 (JAN-2018)
DANGER
Fuses will need to be replaced if blown
when tripped. When changing a fuse, or
dealing directly with any function of the
electrical system maintenance, always be
aware of the safety warnings given in
Section 1, Safety.
5.4.5 SAFETY SHUTDOWN SYSTEMS
Protection for over-pressure and/or overtemperature is provided. If either condition
should occur, the diverter valve should
activate to divert hydraulic fluid back to the
tank and the compressor will stop. A screen
will appear on the control panel that will need
to be reset to run.

Reason(s) for shutdown should be
investigated before pressing reset.
5.4.6 PRESSURE RELIEF VALVE
Although the pressure relief valve has a
reset ring at the cap, DO NOT test the
pressure relief valve by pulling on the reset
ring. The pressure relief valve requires no
safety testing. If faulty, replace the valve
(refer to symptoms and recommendations
given in the Troubleshooting Guide in
Section 6).
5.4.7 REPLACING THE DRIVE COUPLING
WARNING
Before performing maintenance:
Shut down machine, relieve all system
pressure and lock out all power, as per the
Safety Section of this manual.
NOTE THAT THE SYSTEM CAN BE
STARTED REMOTELY:
Always clearly tag the start-up
instrumentation against accidental system
start-ups during maintenance.
With proper care of the machine, the drive
coupling should normally last indefinitely.
However, it may become worn or ruptured
and need to be replaced. To replace the
drive coupling, order replacement element
no. 277764, and follow the procedure below.
NOTE
Alignment checks should not be necessary,
as the machine is factory-set. However,
when performing a coupling element
replacement, proper sizing and offset
measurements must be properly set and
checked to avoid damage to machine and/or
coupling.
IMPORTANT
It is important to remember that the drive
coupling contains wear elements that will
eventually fail. Operator must ensure that the
assembly is enclosed to avoid injury in case
of a failure.

7.18 HOSE INSTALLATION GUIDE
HOSE LAYOUT
CONSIDERATION
1. Hose is weakened when
installed in twisted position.
Pressure in twisted hose tends
to loosen fitting connections.
Design so that machine motion
produces bending rather than
twisting.
2. Ample bend radius should be
provided to avoid collapsing of
line and restriction of flow.
3. Exceeding minimum bend radius
will greatly reduce hose assembly life.
WRONGRIGHT
HOSE LAYOUT
CONSIDERATION
4. Use elbows or other adapters
as necessary to eliminate
excess hose length and to
insure neater installation for
easier maintenance.
5. When hose assembly is
installed in a flexing application, remember that metal
hose fittings are not part of the
flexible portion. Allow ample
free length for flexing.
6. When properly routing, use
clamps to secure the hose in
its proper position.
