Compressed air system

6.18.1 Compressor
The entire pneumatic system of the machine is supplied with compressed air by a
compressor. The compressor is flanged directly to the engine. Air intake of the com-
pressor takes place via the engine air filter. Once the preset maximum pressure is
reached the pressure regulator blows off automatically. The compressor is mainte-
nance-free.
6.18.2 Air dryer
The air dryer (2) is under the right side hood. It separates the condensing water before
the air reaches the compressed air reservoir. The air dryer contains a heating element
that prevents freezing at low temperatures. The air dryer heating element switches on
automatically as required.
