as the title says?

can the compressor be used for anything else?

like diff locks, blowing up tyres etc?

or would you need a separate compressor, like an arb?

thanks

The compressor is quite powerfull cos it's underwinded especially for that but it has very short duty cycle...it was conceived to work very short periods just to relevel or extend the height to ORM... you can't use it for other applications cos it will burn out

It only needs to run for a couple of seconds for air diff lockers but needs around 90psi so you would need to check output of compressor

I believe the compressors run at 160 psi so plenty of power to run air lockers. The problem will be to get it to run and pump air in the right direction and when required.
