auxilliary air compressor maintenance
Hi Ron,

The 110V compressor and the 12V compressor were not originally connected to one another by BB. However, many owners, including me, have had them replumbed so they both feed all air requirements and had the pressure regulators set so the 110v kicks in at a slightly lower air pressure than the 12V so the 110V effectively becomes the "master compressor," after the engine compressor. Plumbed in this manner, in the event 110V is not present (and the 110V is not usually connected to the inverter), the 12V will then come on and drive the toilet and the slide air seals. > (I had the > latter replaced about 2 > yrs. ago.)

Reach into the area where the 110V compressor is buried behind wooden panels covered with felt, or unscrew the panels, and feel for a 3/8" relatively "loose" plastic air tubing line. At its far end is a connector with the ability to open and drain the tank of accumulated water. Gently pull the tubing out from the opening and you will note the tube length is just long enough to reach outside the bin area. Stand back when you open the pet-cock as, if it hasn't been regularly drained, it may spew lots of gunk. Good luck, John Suter 2000LXi > Anyone?? > Thanks > > Ron & Ruth in 2000 lxi > > > > > __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo!
