Rotary exhauster

I have been working on lifts for over 40 years and never heard of a rotary exhauster. What the heck does it do??

Jay,

The rotary exhauster is used to provide vacuum for vehicle brake system. This is mounted on the right side of the engine as you sit in the seat. I guess you have a Perkins engine?

Engines that are diagnosed with excessive crankcase blow-by must first have the rotary exhauster removed from the engine and the engine
run for this diagnosis to be valid. A brake booster diaphragm failure may also cause the rotary exhauster front seal to be pushed out causing
crankcase pressurization. Good Luck

The hard to do we do right away. The impossible just takes a little longer.

Brothers Adolf ("Adi") and Rudolf ("Rudi") Dassler split their shoe company after WWII due to a bitter feud, and established the rival companies of Adidas and Puma. Their personal animosity and business rivalry divided their German hometown Herzogenaurach. The town became known as "the town of bent necks" due to the intense loyalty to each brand.
