Air Dryer without a Governor — Purge Cycle
TURBO CUT-OFF FEATURE
(Refer to Figures 3 & 5)
The primary function of the turbo cut-off valve is to prevent
loss of engine turbocharger air pressure through the

air dryer when the dryer is in the purge
mode.
At the onset of the purge cycle, the downward travel of the
purge piston is stopped when the turbo cut-off valve (the
tapered portion of the purge piston) contacts its mating
metal seat in the purge valve housing. With the turbo
cut-off valve seated (in the closed position), air in the
compressor discharge line – as well as the AD-9si air dryer
inlet port – cannot enter the air dryer. By completing these
actions, the turbo cut-off effectively maintains turbocharger
boost pressure to the engine.
