3.1.2 Connection for Tire Inflation
If the CKMTA12/24 compressor is to be used for prolonged periods then it is recommended
that the compressor be connected using suitable fittings to a separate air tank. This will
dissipate the heat from the compressed air and also allow the compressor to run more
efficiently.
If the compressor is to be used for Air Locker activation and inflating several tires then
fitment of the Air Locker Manifold kit mentioned in section 3.1.1 would be suitable. This
allows for fitment of a hose coupling ARB #171402 as shown in Fig. 7 (which is available
separately in Pump Up Kit ARB #171302).
If the compressor is only to be used for inflating a few tires rapidly then a hose coupling can
be screwed directly into the compressor outlet port.
IMPORTANT :
Due to the fact that compressing air at a high rate produces a lot of heat, if the
compressor is used for a prolonged period to inflate more than a few tires, a hose or
coupling fitted directly to the compressor outlet will get hot.
3.1.3 Connection for Hand Air Tool Operation
For prolonged compressor use and the effective operation of hand air tools then it is
recommended that the compressor be connected using suitable fittings to a separate air
tank. Air tools with air flow requirements higher than 85LPM [3CFM] @ 6Bar [90PSI] will
require the use of an air tank suitable for the run time requirements.
