🔍 Key Concepts

• Trace the path of starting air from the receivers to the engine in the diagram. • Notice whether there is any motor or hydraulic unit between the air line and the engine crankshaft. • Compare how direct air admission works versus using an air or hydraulic cranking motor.

💭 Think About

• If starting air is used to spin a motor that then turns the engine, which choices does that correspond to? • If starting air is sent directly into the engine’s cylinders, what additional device must control which cylinder gets air and when? • Look closely at the components near the "Start Air to Engine" label—do you see anything that looks like a separate motor or a hydraulic section?

✅ Before You Answer

• Verify whether the line labeled "Start Air to Engine" goes straight from the receivers to the engine, or first into a motor/hydraulic unit. • Check if the upper assembly includes a distributor-type device (one unit timing air to several cylinders) or individual cam‑operated valves at each cylinder. • Confirm there is no symbol for a hydraulic pump/reservoir or air motor gear train, which would rule in or out some answer choices.
