The fan and brake pump (25) is located on

the front gear train of the engine, on the right
side ofthe machine. The fan and brake pump
provides oil flow for the electronic demand fan
systemand the brake hydraulic system. The
signal pressure tap (HH) and the outlet
pressure tap (AA) are located on the fan
and brake pump.
