is typically controlled by the truck cruise control
that usually can be quickly disengaged by press-
ing the brake pedal.
Always make sure the Forward/Reverse rocker
switch is in the neutral position and the truck
speed dial is set to 0 before engaging Operate
Mode to avoid the possibility for the truck to surge
unexpectedly in forward or reverse when the hy-
drostatic drive is engaged.
Operate Mode should only be engaged when the
truck is on a job site and ready for operations. The
truck must be stopped with the engine at idle and
transmission in neutral before the OMSI can be
shifted from Drive Mode to Operate Mode or from
Operate Mode to Drive Mode. In-cab instructions
are posted on the placard on the back of the sun
visor to assist in proper start-up and shut-down
procedures for the drive train and waterblasting
system. The instructions are specific to each unit
as there are differences between truck chassis,
transmissions and drivetrains. There are also sig-
nificant differences between truck chassis built for
use in the USA and chassis built for use in other
countries.

OMSI 40K Clutch
The 40K clutch provides power to the belts and
pulleys that drive the high pressure pump and
vacuum blower. It is a hydraulic, multi-disc clutch
that is controlled by the 40K Clutch switch in the
control panel. It is available for activation when-
ever the OMSI Drive is engaged in Operate Mode.
The clutch is engaged by pneumatic pressure from
the truck compressed air system and it is lubri-
cated and cooled by the OMSI Lubrication Pump
and a fluid cooler mounted to the chassis.
The 40K clutch uses Dextron III transmission fluid.
To avoid severe damage to the clutch, the fluid
level in the reservoir must be maintained at the
proper level. Make sure to check the fluid level in
the sight glass on the clutch at least once a week.
Refer to the OMSI Drive operating manual for ad-
ditional information on the 40K clutch.
OMSI Lubrication Pump
The OMSI Lubrication Pump is a small hydraulic
pump mounted on the gear case. When activated
it continuously draws the lubricating fluid from
the bottom of the 40K clutch sump and circulates
it through a filter and fan powered cooler, then
