The manual begins with a general description and a schematic of the engine-driven two-cylinder compressor, governor, wet and dry reservoirs, brake valve, quick release valves, brake chambers and slack adjusters. It explains how each part works, then gives preventive maintenance, service diagnosis and service checks. Major service sections list removal, disassembly, cleaning and inspection, repair, assembly, testing and installation for the compressor, governor, brake valve, quick release valve, brake chambers, slack adjusters, reservoirs, drain cocks, safety valve, check valves, low pressure indicator, air gage and stop light switch.
