Section 2 - Paint Hog Systems
2.2 Truck Chassis
The paint system components are mounted on a
heavy duty truck chassis. Other than the truck
batteries supplying DC electrical power to 12 volt
system, the system is completely isolated from
truck.
Dual Truck Controls (Optional)
Trucks can be equipped with dual steering and
controls. A rocker switch in the dash is typically
used to select either right or left side controls.
Refer to the truck operation manual for informa-
tion on the dual control system.
Truck Engine Fuel Tank
The truck fuel system supplies fuel to the truck
engine and the auxiliary engine that powers the air
compressor and hydraulic pump. It also provides
fuel to the diesel fired heater for the paint heating
system if your truck is equipped with this option.
Consequently, fuel consumption will increase when
these systems are operating. The driver should
be aware of this and monitor fuel consumption
closely during striping operations.
Pointer Arm
A pointer arm/guide wheel assembly mounted to
the front of the chassis assists the driver in main-
taining truck position while spray operations are
underway. It can be moved to either side of the
truck if desired. When not being used, the pointer
arm assembly is folded against the front bumper
and secured with safety pins.
Once deployed, the arm and guide wheel is raised
or lowered by a hydraulic cylinder controlled by
the POINTER switch in the cab control panel. The
pointer arm is designed to be used only for spray
operations and must be folded against the bumper
and secured with the safety pins before driving
the truck on the road.
Refer to the Cab Control Switches & Panels and
Operation sections for additional information and
operating instructions for the pointer arm.
