Air Compressor Cylinder Head
(Holset QE Models) (012-104)
General Information
The compressed air system normally consists of a gear-
driven air compressor, an air governor, air tanks and all
necessary plumbing.
The Holset single-air compressors are engine-driven,
piston-type compressors that supply compressed air to
operate air-activated devices. The compressor runs con-
tinuously, but has a loaded and unloaded operating mode.
