G8 Super Cruiser Operator’s Manual MY19 - REV 0
The pneumatic system on this machine is used to
operate the air bags, control the cabin access ladder,
and engage and disengage differential locks and also
for the RapidFire spray system.
Air Tank
The air system fitted to this machine incorporates a
single air tank located under the transmission on the
chassis cross member.
Due to condensation in the tank, it must be drained
daily. To drain fluid from this tank, a drain tap has
been placed into the bottom of this tank. The tank
must be drained on a 10 hour or daily basis.
To drain the air, turn the manual drain tap on tank
and allow the condensation and air to escape from
the tank.
CAUTION:
Beware of high-speed particles leaving
the tank. Also be aware that due to the expansion of
the air the valve may become very cold.
Compressor
The compressor used on this system is attached to
the timing gear case on the rear of the engine. The
output of the compressor is connected to the input
port on the tank. To regulate the amount of air being
generated by the compressor a governor is attached
to the side of the compressor. This governor is
connected with a sense line back to the tank.
The governor enables the compressor to continue
pumping until the required tank pressure is achieved.
Once this pressure is reached the governor stops
the compressor pumping air. The governor is set to
stop the compressor when a pressure of 120 PSI is
reached.
Pressure Relief Valve
To prevent the pressure within the air system
exceeding acceptable limits, the tank has a pressure
relief valve built onto the top of the tank. This valve
is set to operate when a pressure of 150 PSI is
reached and vents the air to atmosphere.
Pneumatic Cylinder
There is a pneumatic cylinder used on the cabin
access ladder. This cylinder gets air flow from the
pneumatic block. There is a flow control needle valve
on the inlet of the cylinder to control the speed of
the ladder when raising and lowering.
To increase or decrease the speed of the ladder
going down, the needle valve on the flow control
can be screwed in to decrease the speed and
screwed out to increase the speed.
NOTE:
The speed of the ladder is set at the factory
and if adjustments need to be made, ensure that the
safety precautions are followed.
Quick Release Air Coupling
Air supply is available out of the air tank to blow out
filters and nozzles etc. A Ryco 290 series, super high-
flow airline coupling has been placed in the system.
This coupling is located in the pneumatic block.
Located on the right hand side, inside the chassis rail
near the fresh water tank as shown in the image.
