ESCAPADE HEAVY DUTY & CONSTANT DUTY COMPACT OBA SYSTEMS
USER MANUAL
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
1. IMPORTANT: Always operate the compressor at or below the MAXIMUM PRESSURE RATING of
the compressor. Please refer to Application & Specifications Sections of this manual for details.
2. Always observe the MAXIMUM DUTY CYCLE of the air compressor. Refer to Compressor
Applications and Specifications Sections of this manual for details. Operation exceeding
maximum pressure ratings and/or duty cycle will result in damage to the air compressor.
3. Your air compressor is equipped with an AUTOMATIC THERMAL OVERLOAD PROTECTOR.
This feature is designed to protect the air compressor from overheating and causing permanent
damage to your air compressor. The thermal overload protector will automatically cut power to
your air compressor should the internal operating temperature of the air compressor rise above
safe levels during excessive use.
4. Should at any time during use, your air compressor automatically shuts off unexpectedly; do not
attempt to restart it. Turn off power and allow unit to cool for at least 30 minutes. This will allow
the Thermal Overload Protector to reset so you can safely resume use of the air compressor.
5. To prevent discharge of your vehicle's battery, and enhance performance, keep the vehicle's
engine running while using the compressor.
6. Only operate compressor in well ventilated areas.
NOTE:
Your Escapade Heavy Duty/Constant Duty Compact OBA Systems are equipped with a
sealed pressure switch. Due to manufacturing tolerances, a variance of +/- 5% is possible for turn
on & off pressures. This is not a manufacturing defect, and will not affect the operation of air lockers,
nor the ability of the OBA Kit to inflate tires.
MAINTENANCE & REPAIRS
1. Periodically check all electrical and fittings connections. Clean and tighten as needed.
