ESCAPADE HEAVY DUTY & CONSTANT DUTY COMPACT OBA SYSTEMS
USER MANUAL
MOUNTING AND WIRING
1. Disconnect ground cable from vehicle's battery.
2. Position the air compressor in the location where it will be mounted.
3. NOTE: For remote inlet air filter installation, refer to instructions included in the
Remote Inlet Air Filter Pack.
4. Make sure that your compressor setup is properly fused.
5. Before connecting to power source, re-check your system to make sure that all electrical
connections are made properly.
6. Connect power lead to the battery. It is recommended to provide switched power for the system,
that is only turned on when the ignition of the vehicle is also energized in case of any air leaks
that may allow the system to turn on and drain your battery during periods when the vehicle
might remain parked. This is especially important when using a small reservoir, as is supplied
with all Escapade Heavy Duty/Constant Duty Compact OBA Kits.
7. Ensure that the drain valve located on the underside of the Escapade Heavy Duty/Constant Duty
Compact OBA reservoir is closed.
8. When power is made available to the Escapade Heavy Duty/Constant Duty Compact OBA the
system will automatically turn on and fill the reservoir tank.
9. When the cutoff pressure of the Escapade Heavy Duty/Constant Duty Compact OBA has been
reached, the system will shut off automatically.
10. Inspect all air line connections for leaks with soap and water solution. If a leak is detected, the
connection may not be made properly. Re-do any connections that are leaking. The use of
thread locker is recommended for all fittings. (
Avoid the use of thread tape
).
