2.4 Auxiliary Engine/Air Compressor
General
The following is an overview of the features and
operation of the auxiliary engine/air compressor
for general information purposes. The manufac-
turer of the unit supplies an operation and main-
tenance manual. You should read this manual
completely before operating the engine and air
compressor.
The air compressor is powered by an onboard aux-
iliary diesel engine. A hydraulic pump connected to
the engine provides hydraulic fluid pressure for the
hydraulic system. An engine control panel on the
side of the sound shield provides complete con-
trol of the engine. It also monitors critical engine
systems and provides warnings and/or automatic
shutdown to prevent costly engine repairs in the
event a critical engine or compressor function fails.
The chassis fuel tank supplies fuel to the auxiliary
engine. Consequently the driver should be aware
the fuel consumption will increase when the aux-
iliary engine is running and monitor the fuel level
closely during operations.
The auxiliary engine DC electrical system is pow-
ered by an onboard battery that is completely
isolated from the truck electrical system. It is
equipped with circuit protection and a charging
system that recharges and maintains the battery.
The air compressor is directly driven by the auxil-
iary engine. A flexible coupler between the engine
and compressor reduces vibration and reduces the
possibility of engine damage from a catastrophic
pump failure.
The engine should be started only when the truck
is on the job site and ready to go to work or when
compressed air is required for paint and bead tank
filling operations.
Access to the engine is provided by removable
panels in the sound shield. Always check fluid
levels and all systems before starting the engine.
