SECTION 1 – SAFETY
1.1 GENERAL
Hydraulic Contracting and Supply Pty Ltd (HYDCO) manufactures its products so they can be
operated safely. However, the responsibility for safe operation rests with those who use and
maintain our products. The following safety precautions are offered as a guide, which, if
conscientiously followed, will minimise the possibility of accidents throughout the useful life of
this equipment.
This booster compressor hereafter is referred to as “booster”. This booster should be operated
only those who have been trained and delegated to do so, and who have read and understood this
operator’s manual. Failure to follow the instructions, procedures and safety precautions in this
manual, misuse of the booster, even though not expressly mentioned herein, can result in
accidents, injuries or death, property damage, and/or mechanical failure, for which HYDCO
cannot be held responsible.
Never start this booster unless it is safe to do so. Do not attempt to operate the booster with a
known unsafe condition. Tag the booster so others who may not know of the unsafe condition
will not attempt to operate it until the condition is corrected.
Do not disconnect or alter any safety shutdown sensors or switch gauges. Do not modify this
booster except with written factory approval. Unauthorised modifications may void warranty
terms and conditions.
1.2 PRESSURE RELEASE
• Inspect the pressure relief valves at least weekly to make sure they are not blocked,
closed, obstructed or otherwise disabled. Do not adjust the pressure relief valves.
• Install an appropriate flow-limiting valve between the booster discharge valve and the
discharge hose to reduce pressure in the event of hose failure, as per Health and
Safety requirements.
• When the hose is to be used to supply a manifold, install an additional appropriate
flow-limiting valve between the manifold and each shut-off (throttle) valve that is to
be connected to an air hose, to reduce pressure in the event of hose failure.
• Provide an appropriate flow limiting valve foe each additional 23m (75ft) of hose, to
reduce pressure in the event of hose failure.
• Flow limiting valves are listed by pipe size and flow rate. Select appropriate valves
accordingly.
• A maximum pressure of 6895 kPa (1000 psi) may occur at the discharge valve of this
booster, under certain circumstances. Select tools, air hoses, pipes, valves, filters and
other fittings accordingly. Do not exceed the manufacturers rated safe operating
pressures, for these items.
• It is recommended a 50mm (2”), 2758 kPa (400 psi) minimum operating pressure
hose be used for the inlet and a 40mm (1½”), 6895 kPa (1000 psi) minimum
operating pressure hose be used for the discharge, to prevent restricted flow and
protect against over pressurisation.
• Secure all hose connections by wire, chain or other suitable retaining devices to
prevent tools or hose ends from being accidentally disconnected.

5
• Vent all internal pressure prior to opening, servicing or disconnecting any line, fitting,
hose, valve, drain plug, connection, or any other component, or before starting the
booster.
• Keep personnel out of line with and away from the discharge opening of hoses, tools
or other points of compressed air discharge.
• Do not use air at pressures higher than 207kPa (30psig) for cleaning purposes, and
then only with appropriate protective equipment, as per Health and Safety
requirements.
• Do not engage in horseplay with air hoses, as death or serious injury may result.
• Do not remove radiator filler cap while the booster is hot. Loosen the cap slowly to
its first stop to release any pressure, ensure coolant not boiling prior to fully removing
the cap.

SECTION 2 – DESCRIPTION
2.1 INTRODUCTION
The model 8V92-14B is an integral engine booster compressor that is designed to
deliver pressures up to 5171 kPa (750 psi) while using inlet capacities up to 865 l/sec
(1800cfm) and holding inlet pressures up to 2413 kPa (350 psi). To prevent excess
temperature the compression ratio should not exceed 3:1 while holding inlet
pressures below 1724 kPa (250 psig). For capacities, inlet pressures and maximum
discharge pressures, see Chart 3, page
NOTE: THE BOOSTER WILL INCREASE THE PRESSURE ACCORDING
TO THE DOWNSTREAM RESISTANCE BUT WILL NOT ADD ANY
ADDITIONAL CAPACITY. THE MACHINE MUST ALWAYS BE USED
WITH ANOTHER AIR COMPRESSOR OF THE CORRECT CAPACITY 340
L/SEC (720 CFM) – 865 L/SEC (1830 CFM) TO MAINTAIN THE CORRECT
INLET PRESSURE.
2.2 DESCRIPTION OF COMPONENTS
2.2.1 SERVICE VALVES
The booster is provided with a 50mm (2”) BSPT inlet valve and a 40mm
(1 ½”) BSPT discharge valve to allow independent control of the booster.
With the inlet and discharge valves closed and all pressure vented from
the machine, the booster may be started and warmed up with no load on
the engine. This procedure is described in SECTION 4.4, START UP
PROCEDURE.
2.2.2 INLET RELIEF VALVE
A 25mm (1”), 2758 kPa (400 psi) relief valve is provided on the inlet side
to prevent over pressurisation of the inlet system.
2.2.3 PRECOOLER
An air to air precooler is provided to cool the inlet air to prevent
excessive temperatures during the booster compression process. The
compressor providing the air must have a good air-cooling system or
aftercooler as the inlet air temperature should be below 121ºC (250ºF).
2.2.4 SCRUBBER TANK OR MOISTURE SEPERATURE
After the precooler a scrubber tank or moisture separator is provided to
remove any moisture and oil from the air stream. Am automatic drain
valve is provided to regularly drain the accumulated moisture and oil. A
manual drain valve is also provided. This should be drained daily, or at
the end of each shift.
2.2.5 INLET STRAINER
An inlet strainer is located after the scrubber tank to strain any particles,
which may have entered the air stream during hose connection, and
prevent them from entering the booster cylinders.

10
2.2.6 DISCHARGE RELIEF VALVE
A 20mm (¾”), 6895kPa (1000psi) relief valve is provided on the discharge
side to prevent over pressurisation of the discharge system.
2.2.7 AFTERCOOLER
After compression in the booster the air passes through an air-to-air
aftercooler for final cooling.
2.2.8 AUTO BYPASS VALVE
An automatic bypass valve is provided between the aftercooler and the
scrubber tank. It is set up to automatically open during periods in bypass
mode and close during periods in boost mode.
2.2.9 DISCHARGE CHECK VALVE
A 40mm (1½”) check valve is provided between the aftercooler and the
discharge service valve, this prevents high-pressure air entering the
booster system during bypass mode as well as maintaining a pilot pressure
signal for the auto bypass system.
2.3 INSTRUMENT PANEL GROUP – FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION
The Instrument Panel Group (refer Fig 2) consists of a panel housing the following:
• Engine water temperature switch gauge
• Engine oil pressure switch gauge
• Voltmeter
• Tachometer
• Hour meter
• Inlet air pressure gauge
• Discharge air pressure gauge
• Inlet air temperature switch gauge
• Discharge air temperature switch gauge
• ‘ON-OFF’ switch
• Starter switch
• Override switch
• Fuse
• Auto bypass mode selector
2.3.1 The engine water temperature switch gauge is connected to the engine at
an access port that allows it to sense the temperature of the engine
coolant. This gauge continually monitors the temperature of the coolant
during operation. The normal operating temperature should be between
71ºC - 99ºC (160ºF - 210ºF). If the temperature exceeds 99ºC (210ºF) the
contacts in the switch gauge will activate the shut down system and cut
the fuel solenoid signal.
2.3.2 The engine oil pressure switch gauge monitors the engine oil pressure
from the moment the machine is started. It is essential that the correct oil
pressure be maintained. The normal oil pressure should be between
345kPa – 551kPa (50psig – 80psig) at 1700rpm. If the oil pressure falls

11
below 138kPa (20psig), the contacts in the switch gauge will activate the
shut down system and cut the fuel solenoid signal.
2.3.3 The voltmeter indicates the performance of the electrical charging system.
Upon starting the engine, the voltmeter should read approximately 14.5
volts (12 volt system) or 28.5 volts (24 volt system); however, the reading
should fall to 13.2 volts (12 volt system) or 26.5 volts (24 volt system)
after the engine has run for a few minutes. The voltmeter should never
indicate a reading below 12 volts (12 volt system) or 24 volts (24 volt
system) whilst the engine is running, as this indicates that the alternator is
not charging.
2.3.4 The tachometer indicates the engine rpm. The engine should operate at
1700 rpm during boost mode and 950 rpm during bypass mode.
2.3.5 The hour meter registers accumulated hours of booster operation. This is
useful for planning and logging service operations. Refer Section 5 for
recommended service intervals.
2.3.6 The inlet air pressure gauge continually monitors the inlet pressure at
various load and unload conditions.
2.3.7 The inlet air temperature switch gauge is connected to the inlet manifold.
This gauge continually monitors the temperature of the inlet air after
cooling. If the temperature exceeds 99ºC (210ºF) the contacts in the
switch gauge will activate the shut down system and cut the fuel solenoid
signal.
2.3.8 The discharge air temperature switch gauge is connected to the discharge
manifold. This gauge continually monitors the temperature of the
discharge air before cooling. If the temperature exceeds 200ºC (392ºF)
the contacts in the switch gauge will activate the shut down system and
cut the fuel solenoid signal.
2.3.9 The ‘ON – OFF’ switch is used to energise the machines electrical system
and is placed on the ‘OFF’ position to shut the machine down. This
switch must be in the ‘ON’ position before the engine can be started.
2.3.10 The starter switch is depressed to start the booster and must be released
as soon as the engine starts running.
2.3.11 The override switch is depressed at the same time the starter button is
depressed. This switch allows the electrical circuit to bypass the engine oil
pressure switch gauge when starting. Without this bypass the engine
would not start, as oil pressure is not present until the engine is running.
This switch must be held depressed longer than the starter switch, or until
the engine oil pressure switch gauge reads above 138 kPa (20 psig).
2.3.12 The auto bypass mode selector determines the mode in which the
machine operates. On start up the selector must be in ‘BYPASS’ mode,
with the service valves closed and pressure vented. When boosted
pressure is required, the selector is turned to ‘BOOST’ mode.

4.3 PREPARATION FOR USE
The following procedure should be used to prepare the booster for the initial start-up:
1. Examine the machine to ensure that it has not been externally damaged in
shipment, and that all hoses, wiring, etc are properly connected.
2. Position the machine on a level surface in a clean protected area so that the
correct amount of liquid can be added. *
3. Check the radiator coolant level. If needed, add water and a glycol type anti-
freeze solution (see Specifications Section) to the engine radiator. During filling,
make certain the entrapped air escapes from the system.
4. Check crankcase lubrication oil level. If needed, add oil (see Specifications
Section) to near the dipstick ‘full’ mark, but do not overfill.
5. Fill fuel tank with clean diesel fuel.
6. Re-connect the negative (- NEG) electrical cable to the negative (- NEG) battery
terminal. Check the battery electrolyte level. If needed, add distilled water to the
bottom of the level indicators.

SECTION 5 – MAINTENANCE
5.1 GENERAL
A good maintenance program is the key to long machine life. Below is a program that
when followed should keep your machine in top running condition. Also included in this
program are routine service operations required for the engine. However, these are as stated
routine. For maintenance requirements other than outlined below, refer to the Detroit Diesel
Series 92 – Engine Operators’ Guide, where a detailed description of service instructions is given.
See Section 5.8 – Parts Replacement and Adjustment Procedures for detailed maintenance
instruction of specific booster system components.
5.2 SERVICE SHEDULE
5.2.1 DAILY OPERATION
Prior to starting the booster, check and adjust where necessary, the engine oil
level, radiator coolant level, fuel level, fan belt tension, air cleaner for blockage,
leaks or deterioration, drain the scrubber tank and auto bypass filters, and check
drain plug on the bottom of the inlet strainer.
NOTE: The engine cooling system MUST be drained and flushed every two
years. Replace the coolant with a solution of glycol type coolant and water. Do
not use a leak sealing type of antifreeze. Should 100% water be used a rust
inhibitor must be added.
After a routine start has been made, observe the instrument panel gauges and be
sure they monitor the correct readings for that particular phase of operation.
After the machine has warmed up, it is recommended that a general check on the
overall machine and instrument panel be made to assure that the booster is
running correctly. Check the air filter maintenance indicator. Should the indicator
show ‘RED’, wash or replace the element immediately – see Section 5.3 Air Filter
Maintenance. Always ensure that the air filter restriction gauge is reset after
maintenance.

24
5.3 PARTS REPLACEMENT AND ADJUSTMENT PROCEDURES
5.3.1 AIR FILTER MAINTENANCE
Air filter maintenance should be performed when the air filter restriction
indicator shows ‘RED’. The restriction indicator is located at the front of the air
filter housing. The restriction indicator will alert you as to when the main
element maintenance is necessary.
5.3.2 AIR FILTER ELEMENT REMOVAL
1. Clean exterior of the air filter housing.
2. Loosen the locking ring at the rear of the housing and remove the dust cover
from the housing.
3. Remove the element assembly by loosening the wing nut securing it.
4. Pull the element assembly out of the housing.
5. Clean the interior of the housing by using a damp, clean cloth. DO NOT
blow out dirt with compressed air.
6. Clean or replace the primary element.
5.3.3 AIR FILTER ELEMENT CLEANING
The air filter element is cleaned by one of two methods. One method uses
washing in clean water and a mild household detergent if the element is
contaminated with grease or oil and dirt. The other method uses compressed air.
The MAXIMUM number of times an element should be cleaned is six (6),
however, the element should be used for no longer than a one (1) year with out a
change.
Prior to cleaning an element, check the element for damage. Damaged elements
are to be replaced. When cleaning an element, however, never exceed the
recommended maximum pressures for water 275 kPa (40 psig) or compressed air
200kPa (30 psig).
Do not strike the element against any hard surface to dislodge dust. This will
damage the sealing surfaces and possibly rupture the element. NEVER blow dirt
out of the interior of the filter housing, as this may introduce dust downstream of
the filter. Use instead a damp, clean cloth. DO NOT OIL THE AIR FILTER
ELEMENT.
METHOD 1 - CLEANING THE AIR FILTER ELEMENT BY WASHING
When washing the element, never use petroleum solutions or solvent, also never
immerse a dirty element in water or cleaning solution, this will carry dust onto the

25
‘clean side’ (inside surface) of the element. Dust must be removed by reverse
flushing of the element. Use clean, clear water with a ‘garden hose’ at no more
than 275 kPa (40 psig). Direct the water up and down the pleats of the filter
media from the ‘clean side’ of the element until the dust is removed.
If after washing as described above, the element is found to contaminated with oil
or grease, it should be agitated in a solution of mild household detergent and
water. The solution is 10 grams (4 tablespoons) of detergent to 4 litres (1 gallon)
of lukewarm water, mixed well. After the element has well agitated, rinse
thoroughly and carefully shake out any excess water. Lay the element on its side
and allow it to dry before reinstalling. The element should be protected during
drying time from contamination. Mechanical drying methods can be used,
however, heated air must be well circulated and not be over 71ºC (160ºF). Do
not use a light bulb for drying. Do not use compressed air for drying; the pressure
will rupture the element when wet. Regardless of the drying procedure, always
inspect the element for damage prior to installation.
METHOD 2 - CLEANING THE AIR FILTER ELEMENT WITH
COMPRESSED AIR
When cleaning the element with compressed air, never let the air pressure exceed
200kPa (30psig). Reverse flush the element by directing the compressed air up
and down the pleats in the filter media from the ‘clean side’ of the element.
Continue reverse flushing until all dust is removed. Should any oil or grease be
present after this, the element should then be cleaned as per Method 1. When the
element is satisfactorily cleaned, inspect thoroughly prior to installation.
5.3.4 AIR FILTER ELEMENT INSPECTION
1. Place a bright light inside the element and inspect for damage or leak hole.
2. Inspect all gaskets and gasket contact surfaces of the housing. Replace faulty
gaskets.
3. If a cleaned element is to be stored for later use, it must be stored in a clean
container.
4. After an element has been installed, inspect and tighten, as necessary, all air
inlet connections prior to resuming booster operation.
5.3.5 PRESSURE REGULATOR MAINTENANCE
1. Regulator parts are subject to normal wear and must be inspected and
replaced as necessary. The frequency of inspection and parts replacement
depends on the severity of service conditions and the requirements of local,
state and federal rules and regulations.
WARNING
To avoid personal injury or equipment damage from sudden release or explosion
of accumulated gas, do not attempt any maintenance or disassembly without first
isolating the regulator from the regulator.

26
5.3.6 BOOSTER VALVE - INSPECTION
1. Remove induction piping from booster heads.
2. Pressurise the discharge manifold to 551 – 689kPa (80 – 100psig).
3. Looking into the intake port of booster heads, the intake portion of the valve
can be seen. Using a 6” to 8” screwdriver, push the intake plate away from its
seat (down) to unload the valve. It may take a small bump with the heel of
your hand to do so.
4. A continuing rush of air from the unloaded valve indicates discharge plate
damage and the valve should be replaced. If a continuing airflow still comes
from the booster valve and the intake not held open, indicates a leaking intake
o-ring and the o-ring should be replaced.
5. A damaged or broken discharge plate in the booster valve will let compressed
air back into the cylinder and on the down stroke of the piston will allow
compressed air to bypass the piston and enter the crankcase causing excessive
crankcase pressure and premature ring wear.
NOTE: An early sign of a leaking discharge valve is higher than normal
induction pressure on booster gauge.
6. At first sign of excessive crankcase pressure, that is, oil blowing out dipstick
or fill cap, or fill cap, or excessive engine oil consumption, booster valves
should be checked.
7. If booster valves check out OK, unit should be run at 1700rpm with rig air
supply disconnected with intake and discharge valves open (no air being
compressed). If excessive crankcase pressure still exists, the problem is on
the power side of the engine.
8. If upon completion of #7, excessive crankcase pressure does not exist,
booster cylinders should be removed and pistons, rings and cylinders should
be checked for damage or excessive wear.
5.3.7 BOOSTER CYLINDER REMOVAL
1. Unbolt the inlet and discharge manifolds and set them aside from the booster.
2. Unbolt the booster heads and set them aside.
3. Remove the valves.
4. Unbolt the piston head from the piston rod and remove the cap screw.
5. The cylinders should now slide freely from the head plate with the piston
heads remaining in the bores.

27
5.3.8 BOOSTER CYLINDER INSTALLATION
1. Lubricate all viton rings with silicon grease and install. This enables o-rings
to remain in position while parts are inverted.
2. Install cylinders with the piston heads still in place into the head plate.
3. Taking care not to damage the bores or piston heads, use a screw driver and a
hammer handle, or suitable substitutes, to align the piston rod with the piston
head counter bore and push the piston head over the piston rod.
4. Install the cap screws in the piston rods using Loctite® 262 Stud Compound on
the threads and torque to 100ft/lbs.
5. Install booster valves.
6. Install booster heads and tighten bolts until the heads are held lightly and
evenly on the booster valves.
7. Install inlet manifold and tighten bolts until the inlet manifold is held lightly
and evenly on each booster head.
8. Install discharge manifold and torque bolts to 40ft/lbs.
9. Back off the inlet manifold bolts slightly, and then torque bolts to 40ft/lbs.
10. Torque booster head bolts using diagonally opposite bolts on each head first,
and then remaining two bolts on each head. Torque bolts in three stages;
50ft/lbs, 100ft/lbs, 100ft/lbs.
