Typical Skid Auxiliary Engine
2.2 Skid Mounted Auxiliary Engine
The Ultra-High Pressure pump is powered by the
onboard auxiliary diesel engine. The vacuum sys-
tem, charge water pump and all other hydrauli-
cally powered systems are powered by a hydraulic
pump connected to the power take-off on the
truck transmission. An electronic engine control
panel provides complete control of the engine
and monitors critical engine functions from the
cab. It also provides warnings and/or automatic
shutdown to prevent costly engine repairs in the
event a critical engine function fails.
A skid mounted tank provides fuel for the auxiliary
engine. The fuel system is completely isolated
from the truck fuel system. A digital gauge in the
engine control panel monitors fuel flow to the
engine and total gallons consumed. Some tanks
are also equipped with a fuel level gauge in the
top of the tank. The fuel tank should filled at the
start of each shift.
The auxiliary engine DC electrical system is
equipped with an onboard battery, circuit protec-
tion and charging system. It is totally isolated
from the truck DC electrical system. Refer to the
Electrical System section for additional informa-
tion on the auxiliary engine and water blasting
electrical system.
The Ultra-High Pressure (UHP) pump is directly
driven by the auxiliary engine. The pump is
mounted to a reduction gear case that reduces the
output shaft RPM to between 500-600 RPM, which
is the operating range for the pump. A flexible
coupler between the engine and pump reduces
vibration and reduces the possibility of engine
damage from a catastrophic pump failure. The
gear case is equipped with a site glass to monitor
oil level level. Refer to the Scheduled Maintenance
section for addition information on the reduction
gear case.
The engine should be started only when the Stripe
Hog is on the job site and ready to go to work.
Always check the fluid levels and all systems be -
fore starting the engine.
