FILTERS supplies filtered intake air to major components. The separated contaminants are
blown out by an AC fan incorporated in the separator. Filtered air is supplied to the
combination traction motor and main generator blower and the engine air filters.
Traction motor air is delivered to a duct and plenum chamber system on the under­
frame and supplies the traction motors with COOling air. The main supply air duct
forms the left side walkway. Generator discharge air is used to pressurize the engine
compartment.

ENGINE The engine lubricating oil system is a pressure system using two positive displace­
LUBRICATION ment gear type pumps combined in a single unit. One pump delivers oil for the
pressure lubricating system, the other for piston cooling. The oil supply to these
pumps is drawn from the oil strainer chamber through a common suction pipe.

A scavenging oil pump is used to draw oil from the engine oil pan through a strainer,
pump it through the top fill full flow lube oil filter to the cooler core section of the
cooler tank and return it to the strainer chamber. Low oil pressure and high oil
temperature protection are provided resulting in engine shutdown.
