Starting Air Diagram
1. General
The starting air system is shown in the schematic diagram below.
The control air supply unit (6, Fig. 1) and the air bottle (5) supply the air necessary for
engine control.
For more data about the control air system, see 4003−2 Control Diagram and 4003−3
Control and Auxiliary Systems.
You must make sure that the compressed air is clean and dry.
You must open the drain and vent valves (14) at regular intervals to remove
condensation from the starting air system.
