question about built in air compressor
#1
#2
The steps in the above link do say to keep the engine running. I generally do just that out of an abundance of caution given all the electrics in the rig and a dead or weak battery would be an issue. I've only seen a compressor draw down a battery to very low levels once. 'Twas on a buddies very old rig many, many years ago - sorta raised a red flag for me going forward.
I consider the unit a more on demand type system so there's no reservoir/tank holding per se. Hook-up the hose to tire - hose to compressor - tap dial to turn compressor on - set psi - tap dial - it'll run until it's very near the set psi, then pulse a bit near the end of the filling process to hit the specified psi. Lather, rinse, repeat for each tire. It's supposed to work in reverse too - as a deflation system according to the instructions linked earlier. I've never used my onboard compressor to deflate as I typically use my for that operation out of convenience.
EDIT: I've had a failure in my compressor that required a firmware upgrade. Of course it failed at the worst possible location but I muddled through. If it's new install I'd make sure they do the firmware upgrade as part of the intitial installation
Lots of discussion in another thread in the forum but I can't immediately find the link (EDIT2: found the other thread here)
Hope that helps

Are folks using the compressor for non-Defender tasks: inflatable SUP? bike tires, etc.?
Really appreciate the help!
