RIGMASTER APU IMPROVED

The most significant enhancements to the RigMaster auxiliary power unit for 2007 are centered on the new microprocessor controller with its a large LCD display, one-touch stop/start and climate control, and single-tier access to all the menu features.

The new controller also offers the user the option to display information in either standard or metric, along with improved engine monitoring, including a low-coolant sensor and adjustable-voltage battery monitoring. Another addition features an in-cab 20-amp GFI breaker easily accessible to the driver in the case of an overloaded fuse.

The RigMaster APU’s AutoStart feature will become standard on all 2007 models. It includes timed and climate-control automatic start mode as well as a low-battery startup to ensure cold-weather starts.

The company has also announced a 1000-hour oil-change interval for all 2007 units. The extended drain interval also applies to some of the later model 2006 RMP-14-6 units equipped with the larger 3-quart oil pan and all units powered by the Caterpillar C0.5 engine.
