lh203 SERVICE AND REPAIR MANUAL

3. GENERAL REPAIR INSTRUCTIONS

The person responsible for maintenance and repairs should be clearly defined.
• Do not do any work that you are not authorized to do.
• Secure extensively the area of maintenance works as needed.
• Inform the users of the equipment of the start of special and maintenance work.
• If the equipment or a part of it has been stopped for maintenance or repair, make sure that it cannot
be started accidentally.
1. Turn the main switch off
2. Remove the ignition key
3. Put a DANGER DO NOT START or corresponding warning sign on the main switch. The sign
must only be removed by a person who is fully aware of the situation.
• If required, ensure that suitable and safe ladders or working platforms are available for repair and
maintenance work.
• Do not use parts of the equipment as steps. If maintenance work must be done high up, or in an
otherwise dangerous place or position, use necessary safety devices to prevent falling.
• All platforms, steps, grips, rails, ladders, and other similar parts must be kept clean of oil, dirt, snow,
and ice to prevent accidents.
• Always use the correct tools for the maintenance task.
• Before commencing maintenance or repair work, ensure that the vehicle is on level ground, and
that it can’t move.
• Pay special attention to the exhaust piping and the exhaust gas cleaning system. Ensure sufficient
ventilation.
• Use a lift jack only on level, hard and firm ground. Before using a jack, make sure the wheels on
the other side of the vehicle are blocked. To avoid possible slipping of the jack, secure the vehicle
with adequate supports and blocks underneath the vehicle.
• Exhaust all the air from the tire before loosening the wheel nuts/bolts. Should you forget to do this,
a broken rim part under pressure can fly apart and cause serious injury.
• Do not try to repair wheel parts by brazing, welding or reworking. Be sure to replace with new parts
of the same size, type and make.
• Never transport a fully inflated spare tire mounted on demountable rims. They should have just
enough air pressure to hold the rim parts firmly in place. Only after the tire and rim assembly have
been fastened with all the wheel nuts/bolts properly torqued should the tire be inflated to the correct
operating pressure.
• When inflating, mounting or dismounting tires, a safety rack, cage or some other protection must
be used
• During tire inflation, do not stand in front of the assembly. Use an extension hose, so that you can
stand to one side.
• When replacing heavy parts, use correct lifting apparatus and techniques.
• After preventive maintenance and repairs, always tighten unscrewed fasteners. Reassemble all
dismantled safety appliances immediately after the work is done. Insure that all safety systems
are tested before the unit is returned to work.
• Ensure safe and environmentally protective disposal of process materials and exchange parts.

• The acid in the battery burns skin, eats holes in clothing, and can cause blindness if it gets in the
eyes. If you get battery acid on your skin, flush the spot at once with clean water. Flush the eyes
with plenty of clean water, and call a doctor.

• When servicing batteries, remember that lead-acid batteries generate (during charging and
discharging) oxygen and hydrogen which form a highly explosive mixture. A spark or an open flame
can cause an explosion. If necessary, ventilate the battery compartment properly before
disconnecting or connecting the cables.

• To prevent explosion, the electrolyte level must be maintained and checked regularly. Add distilled
water, if required, before starting, never immediately after use. With a high enough electrolyte level,
the cells have less space for gases.

• Use a flashlight when checking electrolyte levels, never an open flame.

• The battery terminals should never be shorted as sparks can cause the battery to explode.

• Do not test electric devices by making contact with the battery terminal.

• Do not carry battery by terminals. Do not drop battery, puncture or attempt to open battery case.
Do not subject product to open flame or fire and avoid situations that could cause arcing between
terminals.

• Sealed lead acid battery electrolyte is a clear to cloudy liquid with slight acidic odor. Acid saturated
lead oxide is a dark reddish-brown to gray solid with slight acidic odor.

• Lead and Lead Dioxide are not soluble. Battery Electrolyte (acid) is 100% soluble in water.

• Protective Measures to be taken if material is released or spilled


• Remove combustible materials and all sources of ignition. Avoid contact with acid materials. Use
soda ash, baking soda or lime to neutralize any acid that may be released.

• Store batteries at ambient temperature.

Environment pollution hazard. Do not release unneutralized


acid. Neutralize as above for a spill, collect residue, and place
in a drum or suitable container. Dispose of as a hazardous
waste.

Environment pollution hazard. Do not flush lead-contaminated


acid into sewer or nature.

Environment pollution hazard. Always obey local laws and


environmental regulations when recycling or disposing a

4.4. Pins

4.4.1. Design features of the pins

All the larger pins have channels drilled to feed grease between the pin and the frame bushings. This
is not a surface where rotation occurs, but greasing will prevent water from seeping into the gap. This
reduces the chance of corrosion.
Most pins have a slight press-fit which makes removal easy.
All pins have a large diameter which lowers the pressure born by the pin surface. This guarantees a
long service life.

4.9. Welding

If you must weld the machine, remove the alternator wires and
open the main switch before welding. Take into consideration
the fire and explosion hazard created by welding. Make sure that
the machine and its surroundings are clean and fireproof.

Note that for electric welding work, the batteries must be


disconnected and both connector leads (”+” and “-”) securely
protected to avoid connection to each other or the frame
structure.

4.9.1. Precautions before welding

• Turn the main switch OFF.


• If welding must be done close to any of the control modules, disconnect all the module wiring before
welding.
• The ground cable of the welding machine must be connected as close to the weld as possible. The
ground cable must not be connected so that the current can flow through a bearing, joint coupling,
sealing surface, lever, or control cable.
• All parts must be supported carefully to avoid flexing and changes in dimensions caused by heat
stresses.
• If welding is performed near pins or in places where flexing may cause changes in the alignment
of bushings you should remove the pins and check (and correct) the alignment after welding.
Additional support of the welding piece may be needed.
• The object welded must be cleaned thoroughly and the welding seam must be deep enough.
• A hole must be drilled at the end of a crack to prevent further cracking.
• Welding rods must be completely dry. If necessary use a drier.
• Dampness will cause hair cracks. To prevent the effects of dampness, the area around the seam
must be preheated to 100 - 200 °C and kept there during the welding. If the material thickness
exceeds 40 mm, preheating must be done. For material with thickness 10 to 39 mm, preheating is
strongly recommended.
• A suitable welding rod recommended is ESAB OK 48.00 or MAGWIRE ESAB OK 12.51

4.9.2. Basic quality requirements

If nothing else is mentioned in the special instructions further on, at least the following quality
requirements must be met:
• The surface of the weld must be flat.
• No pores or runoffs should be left.
• No scars or holes from a chipping hammer or from starting with a new rod should be left.
• In ordinary cases, quality class 3 (green) x-ray inspection is good enough.

When welding e.g. tanks to frame, make sure that the weld on
the frame will not end where there is another weld on the other
side of the frame plate.

4.9.3. Frame welding

In addition to the general instructions, pay attention to the following details:


• The quality of the weld must meet the following requirements:
- contraction cavities and caves must be filled and roughnesses must be removed
- no scars or holes from clipping hammer may be left
- the surface of the weld must be flat and the weld must join the base material smoothly
- quality class for the x-ray inspection is 4 (blue)
• A method which guarantees a proper penetration on the underside must be used.

In addition to the general instructions, quality requirements must be met when welding in the places
mentioned below:
• Welding of fast bushings to frame plates
• Repair and fastening weld of middle hinge plates
• Welding of the crossbeams
• Fastening levels for the axles
• Lugs

Special attention must be paid to quality when welding the following places:
• Central hinge joints, plates and their fastening welds
• Beams of the oscillation system and their fastening welds
• Hoisting lugs

4.9.4. Bucket welding

Wear resistant steels like Hardox should be welded using filler metal that provides low hydrogen
content in the weld metal.
Manual metal-arc, gas metal-arc, TIG and multipass submerged-arc welding are recommended for
the welding of wear resistant steel plate. When very good mechanical properties are required in the
welded joint, heat input should be restricted.
High energy processes such as electrogas or electroslag welding should not be used without prior
testing or contacting Sandvik Mining and Construction service.

4.9.5. Edge preparation

A good fit between the workpieces is essential in order to minimize stresses and thereby the risk of
cracking. This risk is greatest for the initial weld beads, which are often thinner.

All types impurities on and near the edges - such as mill scale, rust, oil, paint and moisture - should
be removed before the start of welding. They are hydrogen sources that can jeopardize the welding
results, causing cracking.

4.9.6. Working temperature and pre-heating

Good welding results require that crack-inducing hydrogen is kept away from the weld area
The edges of the joint must be clean and dry prior to welding, and only dry filler metal may be used.
Welding should be done at an elevated working temperature when large plate thicknesses are to be
welded. The adjacent diagram is a guide to the choice of working temperature, which should be
maintained throughout welding. The temperature can be checked, for example with temperature
indicating stics, on the plate surface opposite the heated one (see figure). Under special conditions
of restraint, in damp weather and when tack welding, the next higher temperature level is
recommended.

4.9.7. Heat-input - number of welding passes

If the impact strength of the welded joint must be equivalent to that of the parent metal (impact strength
at -40 °C), the following rule of thumb used:

Combined plate thickness minimum number


(mm) =
5 of welding passes

Example: 20 mm thick plate (butt weld) should be welded with at least 8 passes (beads). If the impact
strength requirement is lower, the number of passes may be reduced.
When these types of steel are welded, a soft zone, whose width varies with the heat input, forms near
the fusion limit. However, if the heat input is kept to a reasonable level, the soft zone will be so narrow
that it will not have any effect on the strength of the welded joint.

4.9.8. Welding to other steels

In terms of alloying content, wear resistance steels like Hardox can be welded to similar steels and
to ordinary structural steels. The filler metal used for a welded joint should be of the same strength
class as the steel with the lowest strength values.

Filler metals

Filler metals should be selected with regard to the demands that are made on strength and toughness
in the welded joint and for the conditions of restraint that prevail.
In most cases, ”soft” filler metals can be used. This should be done wherever possible. There are
many advantages with a ”soft” weld metal, among other things it will undergo plastic deformation
more readily when the weld has cooled. The joint will then be under much less restraint, which
provides greater security against cracking. ”Soft” filler metal should always be used for fillet
welds. ”Soft” filler metal is also used for butt welds, when the same strength is not required in the filler
metal as in the parent metal. In cases where it is necessary to have a filler metal that is equally strong
as the parent metal (a ”matching” filler metal), a ”soft” filler metal is recommended in the root beads.
Choose welding processes and filler metals that give the lowest possible hydrogen level. Covered
electrodes shall be well dried so that they give a maximum hydrogen contest of 5 - 10 ml per 100 g
of weld metal (the Hg method according to the IIW).
Filler metals shall be stored in such a manner that moisture absorption is prevented. The
recommendations of the filler metal manufacturer should be followed carefully. Always keep opened
packages of electrodes dry and warm. Do not return unconsumed electrodes to dry cabinets if there
is the least risk that they may have absorbed moisture from the air. (Harmful moisture absorption can
take place in 30 to 60 minutes) Instead, throw the electrodes away or ask the manufacturer for advice
on drying. Precautions that apply to covered electrodes also apply in the main to granular flux and
flux-cored wire.

Choosing filler metal

Use as ”soft” a filler metal as possible in each individual case. In most cases, it is fully adequate to
use a filler metal equivalent to E-7018 and E-7028 or equivalent grades for gas metal-arch (fluxcored
and solid wire) and submerged metal-arch welding. The filler metals mentioned here are used for the
welding of wear resistant steel plates. Only ”soft” filler metal may be used for 500 HB wear resistant
steels.

4.9.9. Gas cutting

When wear resistant plate (e.g. Hardox 400 or 500) is gas cut, the layer adjacent to the cut edge
becomes as hard as or harder than the original material. Gas cutting may cause micro fractures in
this layer. To prevent the fractures the area near the cut edge must be preheated. 400 HB hardness
needs preheating temperature of 100 °C and 500 HB hardness 150 °C.
Cold plates must not be gas cut. Let them warm up to room temperature (+20 °C) before starting gas
cutting or pre-heating process.
Figure 1 shows the hardness after gas cutting at different distances from the cut edge. Figure 2 shows
where this hardness was measured and indicates the conformation of the hard layer (light blue area).
In order to expedite the machining of gas-cut edges, the cutting edge should cut so deep that it
penetrates through the hard layer into the softer underlying material.

Figure: Hardness after gas cutting

The gas-cut edges will be less hard if the plate adjacent to the line of cut is heated during gas cutting.
But in this case, a wider and deeper soft zone will be created inside the hard layer in comparison to
ordinary cutting. Heat can also be applied after gas cutting to reduce the hardness of the cut edge.
The curves refer to a plate thickness of 30 mm. It can be assumed that the soft zone will be somewhat
wider for thinner plate. A wider zone will also be obtained if a lower cutting rate than normal is used.

5.6.1. Filling the central lube reservoir

The central lube reservoir is filled through a filling nipple at the high-pressure filter housing. The central
lube reservoir is full when lubricant overflows from the safety valve of the central lube reservoir. When
the central lube reservoir is full the follower plate is in its upper position. If there is air in the central
lube reservoir it can be removed as follows:

1. Open the hexagonal plug in the cover of the


central lube reservoir.
2. The bleeding screw in the follower plate shall
be opened for about three turns and filling of
the central lube reservoir with grease contin-
ued until completely airless lubricant comes
out of the bleed screw.
3. Close the bleed screw fully.
4. Refit the hexagonal plug.

Bleeding is normally required only on the first initial filling of a new lubrication unit or after overhaul.
During the following fillings the central lube reservoir does not have to be bled, if it is certain that there
is no air in the central lube reservoir and it has not got there during the filling.

5.6.2. Bleeding the pump

If there is air in the pump, the pressure of the lubricant in the main piping of the system may not
increase high enough resulting in an alarm. The pump must be bled as follows:
1. In the central lubrication function test window, use the test button to operate the system at reduced
cycle intervals. See section checking and adjusting.
2. Open the bleeding screws in the housing of the non-return valves for about three turns.
3. The pump is allowed to work until fully airless lubricant comes out of the holes in the bleed screws
during the pressurising period of both lines.
4. After that screw down the bleed screws and end the test function.

5.6.3. Main piping

When filling or bleeding air from the piping, the following measures must be taken into account:
All closing plugs of the dosing modules and pipe branches must be removed. The pump is operated
until fully airless lubricant comes out of the closing plugs nearest to the pump and the plugs involved
are fastened. Above mentioned measures are repeated until fully airless lubricant comes out of the
openings. Work from closest to the lubrication unit to the farthest point.

6. FIRE SUPPRESSION SYSTEM

6.1. Ansul

6.1.1. System description

The A-101/LT-A-101 system consists of three major components: a container to store the dry
chemical extinguisher agent; an actuation system operated manually or automatically, and an agent
distribution system which delivers the agent from the tank through hydraulic hose and fixed nozzles
to the hazard areas. The system layout is setup so that all the fire hazard areas are covered by
extinguishing spray. The hazardous areas are areas with oil/fuel lines near hot surfaces and electrical
wiring. The areas protected are: Engine, gearbox, pumps and hydraulic tank cover.

Note! Activation of the fire suppression system


causes the engine to shut down automatically
(when pressure drops, pressure switch opens).

The LVS-30 (30 gallon) system is designed to discharge for approximately 2 minutes when two agent
discharge nozzles are used.
The LVS Fire Suppression System is designed to operate within a temperature range of -40 °F to
+120 °F (-40 °C to +49 °C).
When a hydrocarbon fuel is ignited, it is the fuel vapors that are burning. For the fire to sustain
combustion, you need the following factors: Fuel, oxygen, heat and chain reaction. If of these are
eliminated, the fire will go out. The functions of the foam are to cut off the oxygen supply, act as a
vapor seal over the fuel and at the same time cool the area due to water content in the foam, which
greatly reduces the risk of re-ignition.

The system can be activated manually from a


valve inside the driver’s cabin or from a unit that
is fitted externally in an easily accessible location
on the vehicle (back left of the machine). 1

Discharge of the A-101/LT-A-101 system man- 2


ually is initiated from a remote actuator (1). De- 1

pressing the actuator plunger punctures the seal 3


on the cartridge. The released pressure is trans-
mitted to the pneumatic actuator/cartridge receiv- 4

er (2). A safety relief valve (3) at this point pre-


vents too high an actuation pressure build-up. 5

The pressure drives a puncture pin through the


seal in the expellant gas cartridge (4). This relea-
ses the expellant gas which is then transmitted to
the dry chemical tank (5) where it fluidizes the dry 6

chemical before carrying it to the fire hazard. A


sealed burst disc assembly (6) prevents the flow
of dry chemical until sufficient pressure is built up
within the dry chemical tank. When the proper
pressure is reached, the disc breaks allowing the
gas/dry chemical mixture to flow to the nozzle(s)
(7) and discharge onto the hazard.

An A-101/LT-A-101 system does not remove the need for a hand


portable fire extinguisher on the equipment.

be replaced annually or when the Yellow Battery LED and sounder are pulsing.
See separate Ansul fire suppression system manual for detailed
information of the checkfire system.

Checkfire control module front panel indicators

Battery (Yellow)

• LED pulses once every 10 seconds when indicating battery trouble


• The yellow battery trouble LED will pulse when a low power condition is detected in either of the
connected supplies (internal or external). If only one power source is used, the control module will
automatically ignore the unconnected circuit upon resetting the control module. If a power source
is once connected and recognized, a subsequent loss of that power source will be recognized as
a Battery Trouble condition. If a power source is once connected, recognized, and then
disconnected, the disconnected supply can be ignored by operating the RESET button.

Power (Green)

• LED pulses once every 3 seconds when indicating normal power.


• The green Power Normal LED pulses "on" once every 3 seconds indicating power is normal from
both sources of input power. If the power drops below an acceptable level from either the internal
or external source of input power, the green Power LED will be extinguished. If only one source of
power is used, the green Power LED will extinguish when the voltage level drops below an
acceptable level.

Alarm (Red)

• The alarm LED will flash if an alarm condition exists. An alarm condition is caused by operation of
the detection circuit or operation of the manual pull/pressure switch input circuit. The alarm condition
will continue until the source of the alarm is removed and the control module is reset.
• DETECTION CIRCUIT ACTIVATION MODE - Upon receipt of an input to the detection circuit, the
Alarm LED and the sounder will pulse at a rate of 2 times per second and will continue at this rate
until the first time delay period has expired. After the first time delay, a second time delay mode is
initiated. This causes the LED and sounder to pulse at a rate of 4 times per second. After discharge,
the LED and sounder will continue to pulse at a rate of 4 times per second for 30 seconds. After
that, it will switch to the trouble mode and pulse once every 10 seconds.
• ELECTRIC MANUAL RELEASE MODE - The first time delay mode will be by-passed and the LED
will pulse at a rate of 4 pulses per second. After the time delay setting is reached, it will pulse another
30 seconds at the same rate. After that, the control module will go into the post-discharge mode,
at which time the Alarm LED and Release LED will pulse at a rate of one pulse per 10 seconds.
• PRESSURE SWITCH CIRCUIT (FEED BACK) ACTIVATED MODE - When this mode is actuated,
the Alarm LED will pulse a minimum of 30 seconds at 4 pulses per second. The control module will
then go into the post-discharge mode and the Alarm and Release LED will pulse at a rate of one
pulse per 10 seconds.

Release (Yellow)

• The Yellow Release LED and the audio will pulse at a rate of once every 10 seconds when a trouble
condition is detected in the release circuit. The control module will return to normal when the trouble
condition is cleared.
• The Release trouble will also pulse after the system has completed a discharge cycle or a pressure
switch feed back signal has been received. The trouble signal in this condition is used to indicate
a recharge of the fire suppression system is necessary. A Release trouble under either of these
conditions can only be cleared by resetting the control module.

Detection (Yellow)

• The Yellow Detection Trouble LED and the audio pulse once every 10 seconds when the control
module detects a trouble in the detection circuit. The control module will automatically return to
normal when the trouble is cleared.
• The sounder gives the audio indication for all alarm and trouble outputs. The sounder will pulse at
the same rate as the visual corresponding LED.
• The sounder gives the audio indications of the various outputs. The sounder is rated at 85 Db at
10 feet.
• The pulse rates are as follows:
- Alarm
- Time Delay 1 = 2 pulses per second
- Time Delay 2 = 4 pulses per second
- Trouble
- 1 pulse per 10 seconds
- Loss of Power
- 1 pulse per 10 seconds
- Release Circuit Fired
- 4 pulses per second for 30 seconds, then 1 pulse per 10 seconds
- Low Battery
- 1 pulse per 10 seconds

6.2.2. System description

The system is pre-engineered, self-contained and requires no electrical, pneumatic or gas cartridge
activation devices.
When a hydrocarbon fuel is ignited, it is the fuel vapors that are burning.
For the fire to sustain combustion, you need the following factors: Fuel, oxygen, heat and chain
reaction. If of these are eliminated, the fire will go out.
The functions of the foam are to cut off the oxygen supply, act as a vapor seal over the fuel and at
the same time cool the area due to water content in the foam, which greatly reduces the risk of re-
ignition.

6.2.3. Specifications

Cylinder 25 L (19,5 L clean water, 2 L foam)


Nitrogen 12 bar (1200 Kpa) at 23°C ±2°C

Charged

The schematic picture below shows a fully charg-


ed system. The ball in the check valve is moving
freely, allowing pressure equalization throughout
the whole system. The pressure difference re-
sulting from the larger surface area on the topside
of the diaphragm is holding the valve closed.

Discharging

The schematic picture below shows a system that


has been activated and is in the process of dis-
charging the foam solution. There is no pressure
left in the actuation circuit (check valve closed)
allowing the stored pressure in the cylinder to lift
the diaphragm and push the foam up through the
siphon tube and out to the nozzles.

FS1000 fire suppression system does not remove the need for
a hand portable fire extinguisher on the equipment.

8.2. Fuel system

8.2.1. System description

The fuel pump sucks fuel from the fuel tank through the filter, and then feeds it to the engine’s fuel
pump. From there it flows to the engine cylinders. The extra fuel going into back to the fuel tank. Fuel
tank capacity is 130 liters (43 gal.).

8.2.2. Fuel filter

Fuel filter are essential in helping to protect fuel system components from contaminants that may be
in the fuel. These contaminants can plug fuel injectors causing engine malfunction and deterioration.
Dirt, rust, scale and water are the major impurities present in fuel. These impurities can originate from
dirty and rusty storage tanks and, as the vehicle ages, from corrosion within the fuel system
components.

8.2.3. Fuel lines

Steel lines and flexible hoses carry the fuel from the tank to the engine. When servicing or replacing
the steel lines, copper or aluminum must never be used. Steel lines must be replaced with steel.
When replacing flexible rubber hoses, proper hose must be used. Ordinary rubber such as used in
vacuum or water hose will soften and deteriorate. Be careful to route all hoses away from the exhaust
system.
Tighten any loose connections and replace damaged fuel and
hydraulic oil lines, tubes and hoses. Leaks can cause fires.

See the separate DEUTZ Operation manual 914 for detailed


information.

8.3. Air cleaning system

8.3.1. System description

The outside air drawn into the engine passes through the air filter. Next it flows to the intake manifold
and into the cylinders, where it mixes with atomized fuel from the injectors.
For optimum protection of the engine from dust and other airborne contaminants, service the dry type
air cleaners used when the maximum allowable air restriction has been reached, or annually,
whichever occurs first.

Air entering a two-stage air cleaner is first precleaned before reaching the main element. The air is
cleaned by centrifugal flow around the filter before the air reaches the main element.

Main element

Main element is the filter element in the air cleaner that removes around 99,9% of the air’s dust. The
air flow through the main element first.

Safety element

Is the element that protects the engine during servicing of the main element and in a case of the leak
in the element.

Dust discharge valve

The dust cup, where pre-cleaned dust is collected, is normally under a slight vacuum when the engine
is running. The normal engine pulsing of the vacuum causes the valve to open and close. This action
automatically expels any collected dust and water. The discharge valve also unloads when the engine
is stopped.
If the dust discharge valve is removed the air cleaner system
will not work properly. This valve needs to be checked regularly
to make sure it is mounted tightly.

8.5. Turbocharger (DEUTZ BF6L 914)

The turbocharger is designed to increase the


overall power and efficiency of the engine. Power
to drive the turbocharger is extracted from the
energy in the engine exhaust gas. A turbocharger
can be broken down into three basic pieces; a
compressor cover, a center housing rotating as-
sembly, and a turbine housing.

8.5.1. Servicing the turbocharger

The good condition of the air purification system and its regular maintenance prolong the service life
of the turbocharger.
1. If the air filter system breaks, check the condition of the turbocharger.
2. Replace the turbocharger, if necessary

The transmission output shafts transmit power via driveline to the front and rear differentials. The
bevel gear and bevel pinion of each differential transmits power through the differential to the free
floating axles. The planetary final drive sun gears are splined to the axles.
As the axles rotate, planet gears, mounted in the carrier, are forced to walk around the stationary ring
gear, imparting rotation to the differential carrier and the wheel to which it is fastened.

When the engine is running, the converter transmission pump draws oil from the transmission sump
through the removable oil suction screen and directs it through the pressure regulating valve and oil
filter. The transmission oil sump is located in the bottom of the transmission case.
The pressure regulating valve maintains pressure to the transmission control cover for actuating the
direction and speed clutches. This requires a small portion of the total volume of oil used in the system.
The remaining volume of oil is directed through the torque converter circuit to the oil cooler and returns
to the transmission for positive lubrication.

After entering the converter housing the oil is directed through the stator support to the converter
blade cavity and exits in the passage between the turbine shaft and converter support. The oil then
flows out of the converter to the oil cooler (option). After leaving the cooler, the oil is directed to a
fitting on the transmission. Then through a series of tubes and passages lubricates the transmission
bearings and clutches. The oil then gravity drains to the transmission sump.

Modulation

The load on the drive train components can become very high, if the directions are changed too
abruptly. The transmission has a built-in protection (clutch modulation) against this form of damage.
The pistons that force the clutch plates together and the control valve are designed to apply lower
force when the plates first engage and gradually increase the force until full engagement is made.
This provides a cushioning effect which prevents “shift shock” or sudden high torque surges to the
drive line.

9.5.1. System description

DANA SOH, C 2122


Transformation ratio: 2,6:1
Torque converter is a device which hydraulically
multiplies engine torque. At high engine speed
and low vehicle speed, the torque converter au-
tomatically multiplies engine torque providing the
force necessary to get the unit moving faster. At
higher vehicle speeds, no torque multiplying is
required and since the torque converter transmits
engine torque at engine speed less losses due to
hydraulic inefficiencies. This transmission of en-
gine torque can be made nearly 100% efficient
(like a direct drive transmission) by locking the
torque converter pump and turbine together.

9.6.5. Structures and functions of the off-road tyre components

A tyre consists of the four primary components; carcass plies, beads, belts and tread, and these four
components are primarily responsible for the fundamental tyre characteristics. The functions of the
respective components are described in this section together with the outlines of the special
construction Off-the-Road tyres.

3
1

1. Breakers
Extra layers of rubber-coated cord are placed between the outer plies and the tread to protect the
plies, preventing cuts from reaching t he ply cords and absorbing shock.
2. Thread
Different tread patterns are employed according to the particular usage of the tyre. These patterns
feature excellent traction, longer serviceability and higher resistance to cutting.
3. Sidewalls
Sidewalls are covers made of a flexible rubber compound which protect the sides of the tyre. They
are designed, under ordinary usage, to cushion the plies from shock and cutting, and to flex and
bend without cracking.
4. Inner liner
The inner liner is a rubber layer covering the inside of a tyre from bead to bead, and corresponds
to the tube of an ordinary tyre using a tube. It keeps the inflation pressure constant, while reducing
weight and simplifying maintenance by eliminating the tube.
5. Plies
A tyre is composed of several layers of plies, which are coated on both sides with a rubber
compound. These layers maintain the inflation pressure of the tyre in supporting the load.
Composed of high-tensile nylon cords (H.T.NYLON), it has greater resistance to heat, shock and
cutting, adding to the durability of the tyre. The term ”Ply Rating”, according to the TRA, is defined
as follows: ”A given tyre with its maximum recommended load when used in a specific type of
service. It is an index of tyre strength and does not necessarily represent the number of cord plies
in the tyre.

Copyright © Sandvik Mining and Construction 155 (328)


ID: 534 8 en 2012-04-16
lh203 SERVICE AND REPAIR MANUAL

6. Beads
All plies are tied into bundles of steel wire. The beads are the parts which fit the tyre perfectly on
the rim, preventing the tyre from slipping out of the rim contour while the vehicle is in motion.

Tubes and Flaps


The function of the tube is to retain air under pres-
sure within the pneumatic tyre. The flap protects
the tube from damage by the rim or tyre beads.
O-Ring (rim packing)
This rubber ring prevents air from leaking through
gaps in the rim when the tubeless tyre is inflated.
Steel breaker tyre
Steel breaker Off-the-Road tyres feature breaker
material of the several patterns which has been
changed from nylon to steel in order to resist cut-
ting and cut bursting.
Side Steel Breaker tyre
In this tyre the steel-breaker extends to the side- 1
wall of the tyre to protect it against damage. The
construction is similar to that described above.
Steel Radial tyre
This tyre consists of two parts; steel cord plies
arranged parallel to the cross section, and a steel
belt section encompassing the tread cross sec-
tion. The bead sections, which are bundles of
bead wire, are covered with especially strong rub-
ber chafers. The strong steel cords of the carcass
sustain the outer forces of the load and inflation
pressure, while the tightened steel belts sustain
the circumferential forces. The overall perform-
ance of the Off-the-Road steel radial tyres can be
summed up as follows. 2
• Less generation of heat ensures durability at
high speeds
• Greater traction, floatation and stability
• Greater resistance to cuts
• Higher ton-mile-per-hour rating

The advantages mentioned above result from


less distortion of the tread, even contact with the
ground end lower heat built-up.

Tire dismounting from rim

This can be done vertically or horizontally. Be sure to remove the valve core and deflate completely
before dismounting.
1. Ensure the tire is fully deflated.
2. Use the proper tool and method to drop the
beads on the gutter side of the rim. Be careful
not to damage the beads.
Slant the bead breaker about 10 degrees, so
that it holds firmly. As it can fly with lethal force,
should it slip off, be sure to stand to one side
when applying hydraulic pressure. Watch your
fingers, as bead braker and rams apply
pressure to bead flanges.

3. Remove the lock ring with the proper tool.

4. Remove the O-ring and discard it.

Rim Inspection

Do not try to repair wheel parts by brazing, welding or


reworking. Replace damaged parts with new or corresponding
parts of the same size, type and make.

• Check for rim damage, distortion and corrosion. Repair if necessary


• Clean rim, especially where the bead sits against the flange, where the flange contacts lock ring
sections, and gasket seat sections of the O-ring.
• A new O-ring should be used at each mounting. Never remount an old one.
• Consult the tire manufacturer for necessary tools. Off-the-Road tires require tire irons and a bead
remover.
• Be sure to use rim parts of the same brand. Do not mix brands, or use a rim flange of inappropriate
size. Parts which have been damaged, that is, broken, bent or clipped, can cause serious damage.
• The following points distinguish tubeless tire mounting from tube type tires used on construction
vehicles.

1. The presence of a rubber O-ring inserted


between the bead seat and rim base for
sealing.
2. The lack of a rim base valve slot.
3. The tapered one-piece bead seats band
cannot be divided.
4. No rim pockets for bead dropping.

Tire vertical mounting on rim

1. Clean the rear flange first and insert it into the


rim base until it reaches the back flange. Make
sure the rear flange boss (drive lug) fits into the
rim base groove. Fix the rim with a regular
valve.

2. Mount the tire onto the rim base, by pushing


as close as possible to the back flange. Check
that the rear flange drive lug fits snugly into the
rim base back flange groove. Then fix the front
flange to the rim base so that the drive lug on
the flange is about 5 inches in a clockwise
position from the drive lug slot on the rim base
and put it in between the flange and the rim
base. Line up the drive lug in the flange, the
drive lug slot in the tapered bead seat band
and push the outside tire beads so that the O-
ring grooves and lock ring appear.

3. Set the flange and tapered bead seat band in


position and insert the lock ring. Tap with a
hammer to check that the lock ring drive lug fits
into the rim base groove. Line up all slots and
drive lugs. Use a lead or brass hammer to shift
any parts when necessary.

4. Install a new O-ring (never use an old one as it becomes seriously distorted in making a seal).
Lubricate it with soap (or other solution recommended by the manufacturer) and slip the ring into
the O-ring groove first; hold it tightly with both hands during this operation. Do not turn or twist it
when inserting into the groove.
5. Draw the tapered bead seat band and front flange together until they touch the lock ring. Check
that rims are correctly assembled before inflating the tire. To fix the beads securely to the rim,
inflate the tire to the operational pressure and then reduce to recommended storage pressure.
6. Be sure to stand to one side when tapping lock rings with a hammer during the first stage of
inflation. Should a lock ring fly off, it as well as other parts flying off, could cause very serious
injury.

Do not inflate tires either multi-piece rim unless the wheel is


behind a suitable restraining device or placed in a tire in a tire
inflation safety cage. During tire inflation tire may burst. Do not
stand in front of the wheel assembly. Use an extension hose so
that you can stand on one side.

Never remove, move or store a tire that is inflated to full


pressurization. They should have only just enough air pressure
(70kPa) to hold the rim parts firmly in place. During handling the
tire may burst and cause serious injury or material damage. A
broken rim part can fly apart and cause serious injury.

Tire horizontal mounting on rim

This method is similar to vertical mounting except for the following points:
1. The rim base should be placed on a wood or
metal block with the lock ring groove facing
upward. Allow enough space so that the tire
will be on the floor after it is mounted on the
rim. The block must not get in the way of the
rear flange; in other words, the blocks should
not extend more than 1/2 inch beyond the rim
base.

2. On some tires hoisting is necessary to bring the bead seat band into contact with the tire. Inflate
the tire in the hoisted position.

Recommended oils for severe applications

Severe applications for axles include:


• Vehicles which travel more than 2 km on continuous up or down grades, loaded or unloaded.
• Vehicles which have retarders.
• Vehicles which cycle forward to reverse under full power for a majority of the vehicle duty cycle.
• Vehicles which operate in average ambient temperatures of over +40 °C.
• Vehicles operating in heavy dust or in environments where components may be partly submerged
or where there is reduced radiant cooling from the component.
• Vehicles having continuous “high productivity” duty cycles under full power for a majority of the duty.

Vehicles with duty cycles meeting one or more of the above criteria are considered a severe
application and these guideline should be followed. Always use the highest viscosity lubricant, where
overlapping grades exist for the prevailing ambient temperature.
Use SAE 85W-140 or 80W-140 lubricants that meet the requirements of API GL-5/MT1 or MIL-
PRF-2105E for all severe applications. Where ambient temperatures are commonly over +40 °C,
140W is recommended. In cases where vehicles must be cold started in ambient temperature below
-15 °C for 85W-140 or +15 °C for 140W, vehicle warm-up procedures must be followed before moving
vehicle or damage to the drive train components could occur.
See the separate axle manufacturer's manual for further
information.

9.7.2. Planetary hub and differential oil change

Draining is best accomplished immediately after the vehicle has been operating. The lubricant is then
warm and will flow freely. This is particularly desirable in cold weather.
1. With planetary wheel ends, rotate wheel until
lubricant filler hole is down.

2. Remove plug at bottom of axle housing and the


filler plug on the planetary wheel ends, making
allow sufficient time for lubricant to drain.
• Inspect the drain plug for metal or
contaminates.

3. Clean the plug and refit it. Be sure planet cover


oil level hole is in proper position when refilling
wheel ends (arrow is in down position).

Note: When filling the axle housing, planetary wheel ends, and brakes, allow enough time for lubricant
to flow through the various components in the differential, planetary housing, and the brake assembly.
After filling is completed, allow a few minutes for lubricant to attain its level and recheck each wheel
end and the axle center. Always ensure that the arrow is in down position when checking oil level in
planetary hubs. Add lubricant if necessary.

10.3. General hydraulic maintenance

Heat, dirt and cavitation are the three main causes of hydraulic system failure. Probably dirt is the
worst of the three. Dirt in a hydraulic system has exactly the same effect as it does in a fuel system.
Most dirt is abrasive, and when it works its way into the hydraulic system it results rapid wear of the
components. It stands to reason that if dirt is kept out of the hydraulic oil the various components of
the hydraulic system will remain clean. Thus, the problem is to keep the oil clean. This can be done
following four basic precautions :
1. Keep all hydraulic oil containers covered.
2. Use only equipment known to be clean when transfering oil from storage tanks to hydraulic system
reservoirs.
3. Set up and follow a definite maintenance program for filters and strainers.
4. Adjust or replace packing and seals when necessary.

Always remember that in addition to make the parts of heavy equipment to move, hydraulic oil also
provides lubrication and cooling for the hydraulic system components. When dirt or water gets into
the hydraulic oil, all three of these functions are affected.
Usually oil can become exposed to two types of contaminants:
1. Dirt which attacks the hydraulic oil from the outside. This includes dust, lint, rust, and scale.
2. Soluble and insoluble products which form through oil additive deterioration.

The first group of contaminants can be controlled by taking the precautions outlined above.
Contamination resulting from the deterioration of hydraulic oil additives cannot be completely
controlled through preventive maintenance. We know, that the formation of such contaminants is
accelerated when the hydraulic system overheats. Therefore, when overheating is prevented, the
formation of soluble and insoluble products is reduced. However, even under the most careful
maintenance, contamination due to oxidation, condensation, and the formation of acids causes the
oil to become harmful to hydraulic system components.
Therefore, most authorities agree that all of the hydraulic oil should be drained from the system on a
regular maintenance schedule. This is the only way to eliminate the accumulation of deterioration
products from the system. Therefore, it is always recommended to followmanufacturers’
recommendations and suggestions offered by oil company representatives.

10.3.1. General troubleshooting

Start inspection of the hydraulic system at the beginning of the system and check the operation of
each part until the trouble is found. Once you have found the section in which the trouble lies, it is
merely necessary to locate the exact component in that section which is not operating properly.
Keep in mind when servicing hydraulic system:
1. Hydraulic systems operate with a high line pressure. Sometimes it is necessary to work on a line
that is under pressure. If so, be careful. Shut down the machine if possible.
2. Always use the correct tools. Some parts of the hydraulic system are easily damaged, particularly
if some makeshift tool is used when a precision tool is required.
3. Use recommended service procedures. Don’t experiment until you are absolutely sure you know
what you are doing.

10.3.2. Basic causes of hydraulic system failures

Three of the most common causes of hydraulic system failures are dirt, heat and cavitation.
Dirt can do more damage than either heat or cavitation. However, heat and cavitation are also deadly
to any hydraulic system.
Excessive heat can also affect packing and seals and O-rings. If oil and air leaks form then the
effectiveness of the hydraulic system is quickly reduced. Dirt is able to get into the system around
damaged packing and seals, which further shortens the life of the system. Normally, overheating can
be prevented by following few simple rules:
1. Always use a hydraulic oil of proper viscosity. The use of an oil of greater viscosity than that
recommended, particularly in areas of low ambient temperatures, will cause increased fluid friction
and overheating.
2. Always connect hoses and clip them into position according to manufacturers’ recommendations.
Rerouting a hose too close to the unit’s transmission or engine can cause the hose to overheat.
This results in overheating of the hydraulic oil passing through it. Also, avoid using undersized
hoses and be sure to install the hoses so that there are no sharp bends. These can increase
friction and, as a result, raise the oil temperature.
3. When pumps, cylinders, and other hydraulic system components become worn, replace them.
Worn parts allow excessive oil leakage which in turn requires the pumps to operate at full output
over long periods. This longer cycle increases the length of time during which fluid friction is
generated within system, increasing the oil temperature.
4. Always keep the outside and inside of the hydraulic system clean. Dirt on the outside of the system
acts as an insulation and prevents normal cooling. Dirt on the inside of the system causes wear
which results in oil leakage. Either way, dirt causes heat.

Excessive air in a system can usually be recognized by erratic and uneven operation of the hydraulic
system. Oil cavitation is also caused by excessive air in the system. It’s simply a condition where air
is mixing with the oil. When oil cavitates, it overheats.
To eliminate air:
1. Adjust and replace packings and seals when necessary. When replacing seals and packings, use
only those products recommended by the manufacturer.
2. When installing hoses, make sure they are properly supported. Vibrating hoses can loosen
connections and allow air to enter the system. Periodically check all hose fittings and connections
to make sure they are properly tightened.

If one or more of the components of a hydraulic system becomes faulty, hydraulic system will slow
down and become sluggish, or it will lose pressure. To locate a faulty component, check the time it
takes a hydraulic system to complete a cycle and the check to see if the pressure output is normal.

10.3.3. Checking hydraulic system for leaks

Leaks are a common symptom of more extensive troubles in a hydraulic system, the subject is being
emphasized here once again. Hydraulic system leaks can be classified into two major types: external
leaks and internal leaks.

External leaks

External leaks on the pressure side of a hydraulic system are easy to locate because of the presence
of hydraulic fluid. Watch over the various components of the hydraulic system in order to identify and
correct pressure leaks as soon as they start. External leaks which occur on the intake side of the
pump are much more difficult to detect.
To find out leaks, check all intake fittings and connections for leaks. Remember that overtightening
can be even more troublesome than undertightening. Manufacturers’ recommendations should be
used as a guide. The number of Nm (or kpm) recommended for tightening, will ensure a tight seal
and yet not be so tight as to result in distortion of one or both members.
Leaks on the intake side of the system can usually be detected by adding oil to the area of the
connection. If the pump noise caused by aeration discontinues either completely or partially, you then
know that you have found the connection where air is being taken into the system.

Internal leaks

As the various components of a hydraulic system wear, internal leakage within the components
becomes more and more evident. As leakage increases, overheating will become a problem. When
this happens, other components of the system will begin to fail. Therefore it is important that the
hydraulic system be kept in good working order. Internal leakage can usually be checked by either
by-pass or draw tests.

10.3.4. Low temperature starting

Relatively hot oil should never be introduced into a cold pump since pump seizure may occur from
unequal expansion rates. Fluid temperatures should not exceed 22 ° C over the surface temperature
of the pump upon introduction of the fluid. It is also quite important on cold starting that load is removed
from the pump until the fluid has achieved the minimum viscosity requirements to prevent damage
from internal cavitation. When the recommended operation viscosity and temperature has been
achieved, load may be increased.

ID: 534 8 en 2012-04-16
SERVICE AND REPAIR MANUAL lh203
10.3.5. Prevent of cavitation formation

Cavitation is phenomenon which occurs in the low pressure side of the hydraulic system, in other
words in suction lines. Usually this means pump suction lines, but also when cylinders are working
as pumps, cavitation could occur. When cavitating, oil pressure is clearly below atmospheric air
pressure. Because oil always contains air, it gathers together to form air bubbles. When this oil with
air bubbles finds its way to the higher pressure side (for example in pump), air bubbles collapses
rapidly producing shock waves. These shock waves inflict wearing in hydraulic component structures.
Cavitation could occur if:
• Oil level in tank is too low
• There is a leak in the pump suction line joints
• There is a improper type of hydraulic fluid in system
• Deterioration of the hydraulic fluid or the presence of harmful contamination
• Water in the hydraulic circuit
• Oil temperature is very low

10.3.6. Oil filters

Despite utmost care in the handling and dispensing of the hydraulic fluid it is probable that some
foreign particles will find their way into the hydraulic fluid. Because such particles are apt to be
abrasive in nature and as such will detract from both the operation and life of the hydraulic pumps,
motors and valves, it is recommended that a filter designed to remove such contaminants be
incorporated in all hydraulic systems.
Periodic replacement of fully contaminated filter media must be made to maintain overall efficiency.

10.3.7. Servicing filters and strainers

When a filter becomes clogged, it can no longer do its job. Most hydraulic filter assemblies are
equipped with a by-pass valve which allows the oil to by-pass a clogged filter element. Because of
the by-pass valve, more and more hydraulic oil will by-pass around the filter element as it fills up with
dirt.
Filter elements should be replaced as per recommend intervals in maintenance manual.
Elements should be changed more often than recommended if conditions are severe. Use only
genuine parts.

10.3.8. Level of oil in tank

Maintaining sufficient oil in the hydraulic tank at all times is a significant factor in successful operation.
Regular frequent inspections of the level should be made to guard against leakage and to make
prompt correction if it should occur.
If the oil level is neglected and allowed to fall two negative developments may occur.
1. If oil level falls too low, air may be drawn into the pump suction and contribute to formation of froth.
It may also cause noisy and irregular operation of the system even though frothing does not
develop.
2. Low oil level is likely to produce some increase in oil temperature due to the fact that the system
has lost heat dissipating capacity. It will also increase the rate of oil oxidation and loss of initial
properties.
3. If the oil level decreases below alarm limit the horn alarms (option).

10.3.9. Oil storage and handling

DANGER
Ventilation is vital to the prevention of flammable liquid fires
and explosions. It is important to ensure that air flow through
the storage is constant and prevents the accumulation of any
flammable vapors.

To prevent the introduction of such impurities as dirt, water, lint into the fluid medium, the following
rules should be carefully observed:
1. Store drums on their sides and under protective cover. Water collecting on the top of a drum, even
though it is sealed, will gradually work its way through the bung seals into the fluid.
2. Before opening a drum, clean the top carefully so that dirt will not fall into the fluid.
3. Inspect and keep clean all containers and equipment used for storage or dispensing of hydraulic
fluids.
4. Before adding oil to a hydraulic system, wipe off the fill plug with a clean, lint-free cloth.
5. Make certain that the fluid tank is protected against the admission of contaminants. Possible
openings which may provide entrance and which should be checked include fill plugs, inspection
plates, vents, missing tank cover bolts and seals around pipes which extend through the cover of
the tank.
6. Use electric oil fill pumps, if fitted to machine. The use of the fill pump ensures the oil is filtered
as it enters the machine’s oil tanks.

Selecting the right hydraulic fluid is an important step in securing the maximum performance and
service life from hydraulic equipment. See section “Hydraulic oil”. For normal conditions of operation
only oils of mineral base should be used for this purpose.
The hydraulic fluid must serve both as a lubricant to protect the rubbing surfaces of pumps and fluid
motors and as a medium for the efficient transmission of hydraulic pressure. Other desirable
characteristics are good rust prevention qualities, resistance to cavitation.
Proper body or viscosity of the hydraulic fluid is an important physical property which must be suitable
for the requirements of hydraulic units to assure efficient operation. The correct viscosity will also be
influenced by the temperature and pressure at which the system operates.

10.4.4. Changing oil in hydraulic system

The preferred time for draining the tank and changing the oil is after the system has been operating
for a period or at the end of a day’s run when the hydraulic fluid is thoroughly warmed up. By draining
when the oil is warm and immediately after the system is stopped, the used oil will usually carry off
the greatest quantity of impurities. It is also good practice to flush the tank and system for further
removal of impurities before the fresh change of hydraulic fluid is introduced. We recommend that
the regular hydraulic oil be used for flushing and the oil be circulated for 30 minutes or more by running
the pumps. When system is noticeable dirty, a small quantity (5 to 10 %) of petroleum solvent (such
as Mobisol A) may be added to the flushing charge to help loosen up impurities in the system. Pumps
may then need to run a longer period to secure the desired cleaning action.
Only perform maintenance work when the machine is parked on
a level, hard surface. Use the appropriate tools and safety
equipment for the task and be sure you understand how to use
them before performing any maintenance work. Replace or
repair faulty tools and equipment. When performing
maintenance and repair work, ensure there are no unauthorized
persons in the working area.

Be careful when draining hot oil. Wear suitable protective


gloves, protective clothing and safety goggles when handling
oil.

Make sure that the hydraulic system is at operating temperature. Oil flows more freely when hot and
carries away more dirt and foreign material with it.
1. Pump the hydraulic oil from the tank to a large container.
2. Remove the drain plug from the bottom of the
tank and allow the oil to drain completely.

14. Position the control levers to raise bucket and turn the machine from left to right.
• This will fill the bucket and steering cylinders with hydraulic oil.
• Note! Slow movements.
15. Operate the bucket and steering through their complete cycles a few times.
• This will “bleed” the system of trapped air through the tank breather.
• Repeat this step until the machine movements are functioning normally.
• This will indicate that all air has escaped from the system.
16. Add enough hydraulic oil to the tank to bring the level once again to the recommended mark.
• Oil level should be between the sight glasses when bucket is on ground.
17. Repeat steps 15 to 16 until you don’t have to add hydraulic oil anymore.
18. Carefully check all connections in the hydraulic system for leaks.
• Make sure that the tank filter cap has been replaced and is secure.

Note!If the system is extremely dirty, or the pump or some other component has failed so that metal
particles have been circulated through the system, more drastic cleaning measures must be taken.
In addition to draining and cleaning the tank and tank components, including all filter elements, the
following steps are recommended:
1. After disconnecting all hose connections from each of the components, blow out the hoses
thoroughly, using compressed air.
2. Remove the pump, cylinders, control valves, and all other hydraulic components.
3. Disassemble and thoroughly clean components.
4. Thoroughly flush all of the hoses and the tank with fresh hydraulic oil.
5. Assemble and install each of the hydraulic components.
6. Fill the system with hydraulic oil. Oil level should be between sight glasses (on cold oils).
7. Bleed the air from the system.
8. Operate the system through several cycles to flush out any remaining dirt or metal particles.
9. Drain the entire system.
10. Once again clean the screens and strainers in the tank and replace all filter elements and breather
element with new ones.
11. Fill the system with new hydraulic oil. Bleed the air from the system. Oil level should be between

10.4.5. Repairing the tank

The tank should be cleaned from time to time as outlined in “Changing Oil in Hydraulic systems”.
Hits from i.e rocks can damage the hydraulic oil tank and cause cracks. A crack may form also in one
of the tubes or baffles in the tank. When this happens, the tank must be repaired. If the crack can be
welded, there are certain safety precautions that you should take. Although hydraulic oil is not an
explosive, it is combustible. Therefore, before welding a crack in the tank, proceed as follows:
If you must weld the machine, remove the alternator wires and
open the main switch before welding.

DANGER
Take into consideration the fire and explosion hazard created
by welding. Make sure that the machine and its surroundings
are clean and fireproof. Remove flammable materials from
welding area or shield from sparks, heat. Keep a fire
extinguisher in the welding area. Keep a fire watch in area
during and after welding.

1. Thoroughly drain all hydraulic oil from the tank and system.
2. Remove all of the strainers and other removable parts from the inside of the tank. Then, clean the
tank thoroughly. This can be done adequately with steam. If chemicals of any type are used, be
sure to clean the tank in well ventilated area and wear protective clothing and goggles.
3. Before welding, fill the tank with a non combustible material such as carbon dioxide gas or nitrogen
to prevent the possibility of explosion. If neither of these gases are available, use clean water.
Never use oxygen, for it supports combustion even better than
air does.

4. After completing the welding operation, remove all traces of the noncombustible material which
was put in the tank to prevent an explosion.
5. Connect and install all the equipment which were removed or disconnected.

10.6.2. Pilot pressure control unit V306

Pilot control pressure unit contains valve block, pressure accumulator and follow-up valve.

Pilot pressure valve block (1.)


Pilot pressure valve block includes the following 2
four components: 1
Shuttle valve
The shuttle valve directs the hydraulic pressure
from inlet connectionsP1 andP2 to the pressure-
reducing valve.
Pressure reducing valve
The pressure reducing valve reduces pilot control
pressure unit outlet pressure to 35 bars.
Non-return valve
The non-return valve prevents hydraulic oil flow
from the pilot control pressure line to pressure re-
ducing valve.
Follow-up valve
Follow-up valve protects the pilot control circuit
from too high pressure if the pressure-reducing
valve is damaged.
Pressure accumulator (2.)
Pressure accumulator volume is 0,7 liter and the
pre-charge pressure is 12 bars. When the exter-
nal pressure in the line is more than 12 bars, ac-
cumulator charges, in other words stores hydraul-
ic energy. If the external pressure falls in the line,
the accumulator discharges and releases the hy-
draulic oil it has stored.
Recharging the diaphragm accumulator is pre-
sented in chapter “Brake system” section “Re-
charging diaphragm accumulators“

Solenoid valve V315 (3.)


Solenoid valve V315 drains the pressure accu-
mulator when solenoid Y367 is de-energized.

10.7. Load control valve

The load control valve is designed to provide maximal flow to bucket hydraulics during situations
when low pressure and high flow capacity is required, e.g. lifting the boom for dumping. This is
achieved by directing steering pumps flow (when steering is not used) from steering valve (2) to
bucket control valve. Always when pressure in the bucket hydraulic system is below 12,0 MPa (120
bar), bucket control valve (3) receives its oil supply from pump and load control valve (1).
When the pressure in bucket hydraulics exceeds 12,0 MPa (120 bar) the flow from the steering valve
will be relieved directly back to hydraulic oil tank. The function of the load control valve has no effect
on machines steering ability.

10.8.1. Throttle pedal valve

Throttle pedal valve is a direct-acting sliding spool


type pressure control valve. The spool operates
within a valve body and is held in the closed po- 1
sition by a spring. The valve consists of a regula-
tor spool (3) regulator spring (2), return spring (4),
plunger (1) and valve body (5). 2
In neutral position no pressure passes trough the
valve. When the throttle pedal is pressed the
plunger (1) is pressed against the return spring 3
(4) and at the same time regulator spool (3) is
moved by regulator spring (2).
A drilling in the spool is exposed in the beginning 4
of the stroke and a connection from pressure inlet
to downstream devices is opened. Pressure in
the outlet depends on the position of the throttle
pedal. 5

3 1 2

Throttle/stop cylinder is a double-acting, spring-centralized hydraulic cylinder connected to injection


pump of the engine.
In neutral position engine is idling, but when the throttle pedal is pressed, pressure is directed to
piston rod side trough the inlet port (1). This will force the cylinder to retracted position thus increasing
engine revolutions. When pressure is released, the piston will return to the neutral position by the
spring (3).
Extension stroke is for stopping the engine. Pressure is directed to piston side of the cylinder inlet
(2).

10.10. Hoses and tubing

In order to prevent leakage, vibration, and abrasion of lines and hoses, and also to provide a neat,
orderly hydraulic system, certain rules should be followed when replacing hoses and lines:
1. Replace lines and hoses in the same positions they were before removal. Equipment
manufacturers put a lot of effort and planning into routing all lines so that they will not be exposed
to excessive vibration and abrasion.
2. Avoid sharp bends in hoses and tubing. Sharp bends in hydraulic lines of any type act as
restrictions and cause overheating. When you are installing a hose line where it must be bent,
always check the minimum bend radius with the manufacturer’s catalog. The figure listed will be
for nonflexing applications. If the manufacturer’s specification is not available, a rule of thumb is
to avoid bending the hose to a radius smaller than ten times the outside diameter of the hose. In
areas where hose flexing will occur during operation of the equipment, a larger minimum bend
radius is necessary. When installing tubing or piping, the ideal bend radius is 2 to 3 times the
inside diameter.
3. Never overtorque swivel nuts. They need only to be tightened firmly. Giving a swivel nut that extra
turn beyond this point can cause damage to the swivel nut and to the sealing surfaces.
4. Keep lines as short as possible. The longer the line, the more there is internal resistance.
Therefore, avoid replacing lines with new ones that are longer than the originals. On the other
hand, do not try to shorten lines to the extent that you must use bends which have a radius that
is smaller than the recommended minimum in order to make them reach the point of connection.
Measure the original line carefully, taking into account all bends. Then replace it with a line of the
same length. One thing that should be kept in mind when installing hoses is that they have a
tendency to decrease in length somewhat when pressurized. Therefore, it is important never to
cut a hose so short that when it is installed between two points it has no bend whatsoever. In other
words, allow a slight bend so that the hose can shorten somewhat in length when it is pressurized.
5. Use proper clamps, adapters, and fittings. This is important for several reasons. If brackets are
not used to support hoses as recommended by the manufacturer, abrasion will result from hoses
rubbing against each other and against various parts of the equipment. This shortens the life of
the hoses, resulting in premature replacement. Be sure that hose clamps are the correct size. Be
sure to use only recommended fittings. If the fittings do not match the hoses exactly, restriction
or leakage will be the result.
6. Use the proper tools. Never use such tools as a pipe wrench on hose or tubing fittings. Instead,
use flare nut wrenches when possible, and when they are not available, use open end wrenches
of correct size. Never attempt to keep them from leaking by using sealing compounds.
7. When you disconnect a line or hose froma hydraulic system, be sure to cap or plug the line and
also the fitting from which it was removed. Never use rags or waste material for plugging lines or
components of the system.

10.11.1. System description

The hydraulic oil flow rotates the cooling fan, which produces air flow to cool the oil in the cooler. The
hydraulic pressure for oil cooler fan motor is produced by steering pump P301.1. From the pump oil
flows through the steering valve V302 to the cooler fan motor. From the fan motor oil flows to the load
control valve V305.
Oil is directed to hydraulic cooler A313 from bucket main valve V304. From the hydraulic cooler oil
flows back to tank.
Non-return valve prevents oil flow passing the cooler motors in normal working situation. If hydraulic
oil flow to coolers suddenly stops and cooling fans rotation continues, oil circulates through the cooler
motors until the motors stops.

10.11.2. Cleaning the hydraulic cooler cores

See the separate manufacturer's service manual for further


information.

For general cleaning a high-pressure water cleaner with soap is sufficient.


Make sure that the nozzle is not too close to the core.

• Start the cleaner and slowly move up and down the core concentrating on a small area until the exit
water is free from dirt.
• Continue this until the whole radiator is clean from one side then start cleaning from the opposite
side.
• Blow off excess water with compress air.

10.12. Pumps

10.13. Checking and adjusting

General

These instructions are not necessarily the only way to perform the checking and adjusting tasks. They
can be applied observing common duty of care and safe work procedure, but it is strongly
recommended to follow the procedures presented in this manual.
The pictures and drawings in these instructions may differ from the machine in question due to the
different options and automate equipments.
Many components are adjusted by the manufacturer, therefore avoid unnecessary adjusting.
Checking and adjusting instructions are designed with the expectation that the engine is shut down
between procedures and always before new adjusting action.
• This is especially important, if the hydraulic lines or hoses must be disconnect

Read the instructions completely through before starting the procedure.

Preliminary action

Check the oil levels in the hydraulic tanks. Level check must be done when the engine is not running.
• Oil level should be seen between the sight glasses.

Check the hydraulic oil temperatures.


• The hydraulic oil temperatures should be between 60...80 ºC.

Safe work procedure

Connect and disconnect pressure gauge(s) only when the circuit is not pressurized.
Use only appropriate couplings for pressure testing.
Do not overtighten couplings. When special couplings are used, finger tight is adequate. Over
tightening can damage couplings and cause harmful leakage.
Use hose(s) long enough to read the gauge(s) while sitting in the cabin.
Pay special attention to the sound of the pumps. If its not normal
or otherwise else differs from previous or its volume is higher,
shut down the engine immediately.

11.2. System description

The converter mounted steering pump (3) delivers oil to steering valve (13) and steering servo system
(& brake hydraulics).
In neutral position oil flows to the steering valve inlet port through relief valve (4) and brake charging
valve (5), and if steering lever (14) is in neutral position the steering valve spool is in center position
and oil flows straight from the valve outlet port to the unloader valve (9) inlet port. From unloader
valve oil flows to either bucket control valve (10) or back to tank (11) through return filter assembly.
The pilot system oil supply valve (12) reduces the oil pressure to 35 bar in order to supply the steering
servo valve (14). The system includes a pressure accumulator.
When moving the steering lever to right turn the low pressure oil from the steering servo valve (14)
flows to the steering valve (13). This pilot pressure moves the steering valve spool and directs the
pressurized oil from pump through brake charging valve (5) and steering valve (13) to steering cylinder
(8) piston side. The returning oil from the piston rod side of the cylinder flows back to tank through
steering valve and return filter (11).
When the steering lever is released there is no oil flow from the servo valve and springs force the
steering valve spool return to its center position and cylinder ports will be closed. This causes the
machine to remain in the turning angle determined earlier with the steering lever.
The steering valve has a built-in pressure relief valve which determines the max working pressure to
150 bar (adjustable). There are also shock-load valves for outer shock loads (prevent components
from being damaged). The shock-load valves open at 200 bar.

11.3. Safety interlocks

If machine steering is stopped because of a situation that does not occur in normal usage. For
example, the arm rest stop the engine. In that case, the arm rest must put down and the steering
lever returned into middle position. Only then it is possible to steer the machine again.
The system that prevent steering in the following situations are as follows:
• Emergency stop is activated
• Arm rest is in up position
• The engine is not running

Steering valve consists of:


• Inlet element (combined with directional element)
• Directional valve elements
• Intermediate elements
• Connecting modules
• Outlet element (combined with directional element)

Inlet elements contain the inlet port (optionally also the outlet port) and depending on the model, other
ports, e.g. pressure gauge or second inlet port. They may also contain the primary pressure relief
valve and the 1st directional valve element.
Connecting modules are design to incorporate other types of valve into the system. Both intermediate
elements and connecting modules are special design only.
Directional valves are designed on the 6-way principle, and consist of the housing (6), the control
spool (5), load-hold check valve (2), together with the spool control element (4).

In neutral position, the pump flow is led to tank at low pressure through the by-pass channel to tank.
When spool is moved from neutral position, a connection is made through the fine control grooves
from the pump to the actuator, while the by-pass line is progressively throttled via further fine control
grooves (negative overlap). As soon as the pump pressure exceeds the load pressure, oil begins to
flow via the check valve to the actuator. With further movement of the spool (5) the volume of oil is
increasingly diverted from the by-pass channel to the actuator (fine control).
The spool movement may be devided into three phases:

35 % central overlap (low leakage in neutral),


45 % fine control of the actuator,
20 % the final opening.

The primary pressure relief valve (3) is set to 150 bar and the tightening torque is 90 Nm.
The secondary valves (1) for outer shock--loads (and anti cavitation) are set to 200 bar and tightened
to 90 Nm.

11.4.2. Pilot pressure control unit V306

Pilot control pressure unit contains valve block, pressure accumulator and follow-up valve.

Pilot pressure valve block (1.)


Pilot pressure valve block includes the following 2
four components: 1
Shuttle valve
The shuttle valve directs the hydraulic pressure
from inlet connectionsP1 andP2 to the pressure-
reducing valve.
Pressure reducing valve
The pressure reducing valve reduces pilot control
pressure unit outlet pressure to 35 bars.
Non-return valve
The non-return valve prevents hydraulic oil flow
from the pilot control pressure line to pressure re-
ducing valve.
Follow-up valve
Follow-up valve protects the pilot control circuit
from too high pressure if the pressure-reducing
valve is damaged.
Pressure accumulator (2.)
Pressure accumulator volume is 0,7 liter and the
pre-charge pressure is 12 bars. When the exter-
nal pressure in the line is more than 12 bars, ac-
cumulator charges, in other words stores hydraul-
ic energy. If the external pressure falls in the line,
the accumulator discharges and releases the hy-
draulic oil it has stored.
Recharging the diaphragm accumulator is pre-
sented in chapter “Brake system” section “Re-
charging diaphragm accumulators“

Solenoid valve V315 (3.)


Solenoid valve V315 drains the pressure accu-
mulator when solenoid Y367 is de-energized.

Steering cylinder is single stage, double acting hydraulic cylinder. The steering cylinder is mounted
between the front and rear frames on the left side of the machine.

11.4.4. Gear-type pump P301.1

Gear pump P301.1 produces hydraulic pressure


and flow needed for steering, pilot control and
ejector function (optional). Maximum pressure is
limited to 210 bars by a pressure relief valve
V310. The volume flow is proportional to the en-
gine rpm and the maximum flow is 47 l/min.

11.4.5. Load control valve

The load control valve is designed to provide maximal flow to bucket hydraulics during situations
when low pressure and high flow capacity is required, e.g. lifting the boom for dumping. This is
achieved by directing steering pumps flow (when steering is not used) from steering valve (2) to
bucket control valve. Always when pressure in the bucket hydraulic system is below 12,0 MPa (120
bar), bucket control valve (3) receives its oil supply from pump and load control valve (1).
When the pressure in bucket hydraulics exceeds 12,0 MPa (120 bar) the flow from the steering valve
will be relieved directly back to hydraulic oil tank. The function of the load control valve has no effect
on machines steering ability.

When the wheels face straight ahead, cylinder extension is 50%. If the machine is turned to the left,
the cylinder retracts. When the machine is turned to the right, the cylinder extends.
All cylinders are similar design. They are single stage, double acting hydraulic cylinders. The steering
cylinder is mounted between the front and rear frames on left side of the machine. In the cylinder end
there is ball joint bearing (2) fastened with circlips (1). In steering cylinder the front end ball joint
bearing is mounted to the front frame instead of piston rod.
The piston (11) is secured to the rod (14) by two lock screws (10). On the outer diameter of the piston
two slip rings (8) and a piston seal (9) are located in their own respective grooves. Between the piston
and rod there is a o-ring (12) to make the fastening tight.

The gland assembly (13) is held in place at the end of the cylinder tube (3) by allen head bolts (5).
O-ring (4) is fitted into a groove on the outside diameter of the gland assembly. Located in the internal
bore of the gland assembly is a seal (6) and a wiper (7). The seals prevents leakage past the rod.
The wiper cleans dirt from the rod as it retracts. For the lubrication of the ball joint bearings there are
two grease nipples (15) in the cylinder ends.
Cylinder rod movement within the housing is accomplished by applying pressurized oil flow on either
side of the piston and allowing the oil on the opposite side of the piston to return back to hydraulic oil
tank.

11.6. Checking and adjusting

General

These instructions are not necessarily the only way to perform the checking and adjusting tasks. They
can be applied observing common duty of care and safe work procedure, but it is strongly
recommended to follow the procedures presented in this manual.
The pictures and drawings in these instructions may differ from the machine in question due to the
different options and automate equipments.
Many components are adjusted by the manufacturer, therefore avoid unnecessary adjusting.
Checking and adjusting instructions are designed with the expectation that the engine is shut down
between procedures and always before new adjusting action.
• This is especially important, if the hydraulic lines or hoses must be disconnect

Read the instructions completely through before starting the procedure.

Preliminary action

Check the oil levels in the hydraulic tanks. Level check must be done when the engine is not running.
• Oil level should be seen between the sight glasses.

Check the hydraulic oil temperatures.


• The hydraulic oil temperatures should be between 60...80 ºC.

Safe work procedure

Connect and disconnect pressure gauge(s) only when the circuit is not pressurized.
Use only appropriate couplings for pressure testing.
Do not overtighten couplings. When special couplings are used, finger tight is adequate. Over
tightening can damage couplings and cause harmful leakage.
Use hose(s) long enough to read the gauge(s) while sitting in the cabin.
Pay special attention to the sound of the pumps. If its not normal
or otherwise else differs from previous or its volume is higher,
shut down the engine immediately.

cause serious injury. Allow the pressure to be released from the
hydraulic circuit before opening the plugs or connectors.

1. Disconnect the rod side hydraulic line from the


steering valve.
2. Cap the steering valve to eliminate any high-
pressure oil injection hazard during the test.

3. Allow the cylinder rod side oil to drain into an oil drain container via the disconnected pipe, until
completely drain and all oil flow has stopped.
4. With the second person observing the container and piston side pipe end from a safe position,
start the engine and move the steering lever to pressurize the piston side hydraulic circuit of the
cylinder being tested.
5. If oil is observed coming from the cylinder the rod seals are bypassing in this direction (piston to
rod side).
• The cylinder needs to replace or overhaul.
6. Shut down the engine.
7. Release hydraulic pressure from the steering
hydraulic circuit.
• This can be done safely by using a capillary
test hose into the steering test point.
8. Gradually screw the quick connects on to
release the pressure in a control manner. Use
an oil drain contain to collect any oil.

12.2. System description

The converter mounted pump (1) delivers oil to the inlet port of bucket control valve (10). Upon
entering the valve oil flows through relief valve where the pressure is regated to 21,0 MPa (210 bar).
With the control valve in neutral position, the oil flows from the valve outlet port to the tank through
return filter assembly (11).
The bucket control (10) valve also receives oil from the steering hydraulics (when not used) through
the unloader valve (9). The unloader valve is designed to provide a maximal flow to bucket hydraulics
at low pressure by directing steering pumps (3) flow to bucket control valve. When the pressure
exceeds 12,0 MPa (120 bar) during operation, the unloader valve directs the oil flow from the steering
pump back to tank.
All four cylinder ports of the bucket control valve are equipped with shock--load valves which protect
the system from outer shock loads. The shock load valve for piston side of the tilt cylinder opens at
6,0 MPa (60 bar). The other shock--load valves have a pressure setting of 24,0 MPa (240 bar).
With the bucket control valve (10) actuated to hoist position, controlled flow from the control valve
flows to the piston side port of the lift cylinder (7). Pressure entering the cylinder extends the rod,
raising the boom. Oil in the piston rod side of the cylinder returns to tank through the bucket control
valve (10).
With the bucket control valve (10) actuated to dump position, controlled flow from the control valve
flows to the piston side port of the tilt cylinder (6). Pressure entering the cylinder extends the rod,
dumping the bucket. Oil in the piston rod side of the cylinder returns to tank through the bucket control
valve.

12.2.1. Safety interlocks

If boom controlling is stopped because of a situation that does not occur in normal usage, disable the
function that prevents the controlling and return the control lever into middle position before controlling
can start again. For example, the arm rest stops boom controlling. In that case, the arm rest must be
released and the control lever returned into middle position. Only then it is possible to control the
boom again.
The system prevents boom and bucket controlling in the following situations that do not occur in
normal usage:
• Arm rest is open
• Emergency stop is activated
• The engine is not running

SERVICE AND REPAIR MANUAL lh203
Bucket valve consist basically of the housing (1),
control spool (2), with built in check valves (3),
operating element (4), return element (5), built-in
combined secondary pressure relief and anti-cav- 2
itation check valves (7).
7 7
The 6/3-way valves combine the function of 4/3-
way valves and a 2/2-way valve. In the unoper- 1
ated condition, the control spool is held in starting
position by the return spring. In this position the
connection from pump to services is closed, the
8
2/2-way section is open and allows fluid to flow
without pressure from P to T. 11
If control spool (2) is moved out of its starting po-
sition, the connection from the pump to the serv- 2
ices is opened via metering notches and at the
10
same time the 2/2-way section is throttled by
means of further similar notches (negative over-
lap). Pump pressure increases. When the pres-
sure at the service port is reached, the check
valve (3) in the spool opens and fluid begins to
flow to the serviced unit. As the control spool (2)
continues its movement, fluid is gradually fed
from the 2/2-way line to the service port (fine con-
trol).
In order to remove the control spool, only one
cover need to be removed per spool; with me-
chanical operation cover (8) is removed, and with
hydraulic operation cover (9).
Primary pressure relief valve (10) (set to 210 bar)
and secondary valves (240 bar, tilt cylinder piston
side 60 bar) are designed as a screw-in cartridges
and can therefore be interchanged or added at a
later date without dismantling the block.
Tightening torque for the primary pressure relief
valve is 80 Nm and for shock-load / anti-cavitation
valves is 90 Nm.
Corrosion of the return elements is prevented, as
the return springs (11) and detends (12) are oil
immersed.

Spool stroke
The spool stroke is devided into approx. 30% control land overlap and 50% fine control range, while
the remaining stroke serves to create the full opening. The overlap and a low spool tolerance serve
to reduce internal leakage.

12.4. Ejector bucket (option)

12.4.1. System description

Use of ejector bucket is possible when steering lever is in neutral position. Turning the ejector bucket
handle on the cabin, causes the proportional valve open and let the servo pressure flow to ejector
main valve spool. The hydraulic pressure is directed through steering main valve and ejector main
valve to ejector cylinders (A204).

12.4.2. Functional description of components

Ejector valve V317

Ejector valve is part of the steering valve V302. It contains one spring centered hydraulically pilot
controlled 6/3 proportional valve for ejector function and two safety relief valves (with two non-return
valves). Proportional valve adjusts the positioning of ejector plate by adjusting the hydraulic flow going
to the ejector cylinders. Safety relief valves limit the pressure at ejector cylinders to 190 bar and non-
return valves prevent cavitation.

12.5. Lift and tilt cylinders

All cylinders are similar design. They are single stage, double acting hydraulic cylinders. The bucket
(tilt) cylinder is mounted to the front frame and directly to the bucket. The boom cylinder is mounted
to the lower portion of the front frame, and to boom arm. In the cylinder ends there are ball joint
bearings (1) fastened with circlips (6).
The piston (3) is secured to the rod (5) by two lock screws (7). On the outer diameter of the piston
the wear rings (11) and piston seals (12) are located in their own respective grooves. Tilt cylinder
piston has one seal in the middle of two wear rings and respectively lift cylinder has one seal and one
piston ring (22) in the middle of two wear rings. Between the piston and rod there is a o-ring (13) to
make the fastening tight. The o-ring is supported with two backup rings (17).
The gland assembly is held in place at the end of the cylinder tube (8) by allen head bolts (9). O-ring
(16) (with a backup rings (15)) is fitted into a groove on the outside diameter of the gland assembly.
Located in the internal bore of the gland assembly are seals (18, 19), a wiper (20), slip rings (17) and
in the tilt cylinder also the circlip (21) which holds wiper in place. In lift cylinder the wiper (20) is held
in place with flange (23). The seals prevents leakage past the rod. The wiper cleans dirt from the rod
as it retracts. For the lubrication of the ball joint bearings there are grease nipples (2) in the cylinder
ends.
Cylinder rod movement within the housing is accomplished by applying pressurized oil flow on either
side of the piston and allowing the oil on the opposite side of the piston to return back to hydraulic oil
receiver.

12.6. Checking and adjusting

General

These instructions are not necessarily the only way to perform the checking and adjusting tasks. They
can be applied observing common duty of care and safe work procedure, but it is strongly
recommended to follow the procedures presented in this manual.
The pictures and drawings in these instructions may differ from the machine in question due to the
different options and automate equipments.
Many components are adjusted by the manufacturer, therefore avoid unnecessary adjusting.
Checking and adjusting instructions are designed with the expectation that the engine is shut down
between procedures and always before new adjusting action.
• This is especially important, if the hydraulic lines or hoses must be disconnect

Read the instructions completely through before starting the procedure.

Preliminary action

Check the oil levels in the hydraulic tanks. Level check must be done when the engine is not running.
• Oil level should be seen between the sight glasses.

Check the hydraulic oil temperatures.


• The hydraulic oil temperatures should be between 60...80 ºC.

Safe work procedure

Connect and disconnect pressure gauge(s) only when the circuit is not pressurized.
Use only appropriate couplings for pressure testing.
Do not overtighten couplings. When special couplings are used, finger tight is adequate. Over
tightening can damage couplings and cause harmful leakage.
Use hose(s) long enough to read the gauge(s) while sitting in the cabin.
Pay special attention to the sound of the pumps. If its not normal
or otherwise else differs from previous or its volume is higher,
shut down the engine immediately.

When the pressurized oil is exhausted from the chamber (3) a stack of Belleville washers pushes the
piston towards the end of the cylinder. Brake lining carrier (2a) will move accordingly until the linings
meet the disc surface and thus stops the movement of the piston. Spring washers will further push
the actuator cylinder (and rod) in opposite direction and bring the lining of carrier assembly (2b) in
contact with the disc.
The brake is released with by feeding pressurized oil into the actuator cylinder thus pressing the
spring until the piston movement is stopped by the rods shoulder. Piston sealing is done by two o-
rings and support rings.

13.3. Functional description of components

13.3.1. Brake charging valve

The charging valve is designed for installation in


an open center hydraulic system between the
pump and its relief valve and the downstream
secondary hydraulic devices; for example, a pow-
er steering control valve and cylinder installed in
the same hydraulic circuit.
Essentially, the dual accumulator charging valve
charges two accumulators from the open center
circuit upon demand and within its preset operat-
ing rate, 1,9...13,3 l/min., and to the preset max-
imum pressure of 180 bar (18,0 MPa).
The flow to the secondary hydraulic devices will
be reduced fractionally for the very short time that
the accumulators are charging. This does not no-
ticeably affect the operation of the downstream
hydraulic devices if sufficient flow and pressure
exists from the pumps. Full system pressure is
available to the secondary hydraulic devices at all
times.
Internal filters are incorporated in the charging
valve through which all the oil must flow that is
used in the accumulators. Hydraulic system
cleanliness and adequate circuit filtration is im-
perative in any hydraulic system.

When the accumulators are charged to their high limit, the charging valve spool is held against the
spool stop by normal system back pressure through drilled passage which directs the pressure to
one end of the spool. The lower limit check balls are held on their seats by accumulator pressure.

B System pressure C Accumulator pressure
When the pressure in either accumulator reaches its lower limit, the respective pilot valve spring will
unseat the lower limit check ball and, at the same time, seat the upper limit check ball. The pilot valve
spool permits only one of these balls to be seated at any time. When the lower limit check valve is
unseated, pressure from the accumulator enters either chamber back of the charging valve spool
(see fig. 3) or behind the secondary piston through the external pilot line (see fig. 4). This allows the
charging valve spring and the accumulator hydraulic force to balance the hydraulic force due to the
pump pressure acting on the opposite end of the charging valve spool. This means that the pump
pressure is always higher than the accumulator pressure which causes the accumulator to charge.
Both accumulators will be charged to an increased pressure through the orifices and check valves
even through only one accumulator has called for a charge. The rate at which the accumulator is
charged depends on the orifice in the check valve seat.

When either accumulator is charged to its higher limit, this pressure will unseat the upper limit check
ball and seat the lower limit check ball. When the upper limit check ball is unseated the pressure in
the chamber back of the charging valve spool or behind the secondary piston is allowed to flow to
return; thus permitting the charging valve spool to unload the pump. When the operating pressure in
the system is greater than the pressure in the accumulator, the check valve at the accumulator
charging orifice is forced off its seat; thus charging the accumulator to system pressure without the
aid of the charging function.

13.3.2. Brake pedal valve

This valve assembly is used as a brake pedal


valve of the hydraulic brake system. The valve is
a pressure regulator where the outlet pressure
depends on the stroke of pedal.
Note! The valve should be replaced as a com-
plete unit after a malfunction. If the operation of
the loader is critical, you may repair the valve.
However, even a slight leak can cause brake
dragging resulting in excessive heat built up and
wear.

Under no circumstances may any machining, welding or soldering work be done on the accumulator
shell. Work on systems incorporating accumulators (repairs, connection of pressure gauges, etc.)
may be carried out only after the fluid pressure has been released.
New or reconditioned accumulators are delivered with a nitrogen charge of 1,0 MPa (10 bar) to
prevent damage during transit. Before being put into operation they must be charged with nitrogen
to the pre-charge pressure p0. The brake accumulators pre-charging pressure p0 is 6,0 MPa (60 bar).
Under NO circumstances should oxygen or air be used.
Danger of explosion if oxygen or air is used for precharging the
pressure accumulator!

Having connected the hydraulic line, it should be bled of all air by means of bleeder screw on the
accumulator. Never use car tire valves to replace damaged gas valve elements.

13.12. Checking and adjusting

General

These instructions are not necessarily the only way to perform the checking and adjusting tasks. They
can be applied observing common duty of care and safe work procedure, but it is strongly
recommended to follow the procedures presented in this manual.
The pictures and drawings in these instructions may differ from the machine in question due to the
different options and automate equipments.
Many components are adjusted by the manufacturer, therefore avoid unnecessary adjusting.
Checking and adjusting instructions are designed with the expectation that the engine is shut down
between procedures and always before new adjusting action.
• This is especially important, if the hydraulic lines or hoses must be disconnect

Read the instructions completely through before starting the procedure.

Preliminary action

Check the oil levels in the hydraulic tanks. Level check must be done when the engine is not running.
• Oil level should be seen between the sight glasses.

Check the hydraulic oil temperatures.


• The hydraulic oil temperatures should be between 60...80 ºC.

Safe work procedure

Connect and disconnect pressure gauge(s) only when the circuit is not pressurized.
Use only appropriate couplings for pressure testing.
Do not overtighten couplings. When special couplings are used, finger tight is adequate. Over
tightening can damage couplings and cause harmful leakage.
Use hose(s) long enough to read the gauge(s) while sitting in the cabin.
Pay special attention to the sound of the pumps. If its not normal
or otherwise else differs from previous or its volume is higher,
shut down the engine immediately.

13.12.3. Testing the brake accumulator

After new installation of, or repair to accumulators, check pre-charge pressure p 0 at least once during
the first month.
If no gas losses are detected during the first check, the second check is to be carried out after approx.
6 months. If the results of the second check are satisfactory, testing every 6:th month (1000h) will
suffice thereafter.

13.12.4. Measuring the brake accumulator pre-charge pressure P0

Only people who have been given specialized operation and


service training are allowed to perform operations, service, and
adjustment procedures. Read and ensure you understand the
following instructions before servicing the equipment. To avoid
potential damage and injuries, carefully plan your work
beforehand.

Only perform maintenance work when the machine is parked on


a level, hard surface. Use the appropriate tools and safety
equipment for the task and be sure you understand how to use
them before performing any maintenance work. Replace or
repair faulty tools and equipment. When performing
maintenance and repair work, ensure there are no unauthorized
persons in the working area.

Measure the gas pre-charge pressure p0 by measuring the hydraulic fluid pressure with a pressure
gauge.
Prerequisite is that a pressure gauge is installed in hydraulic line connected directly to the
accumulator.
1. Use pump to fill the accumulator with fluid, then stop the pump.
• Start the engine and accelerate till the low accumulator pressure warning light goes off.
2. Discharge the accumulator by repeatedly
applying service brake (pumping pedal).
• During this emptying process watch the
pressure gauges connected to the nipples A
& B (A for front brake circuit and B for rear
circuit).
• As soon as the accumulator pre-charge
pressure P0 (6,0 MPa 60 bar) is reached, the
needle of the pressure gauge will drop A
suddenly back to zero.
B

3. If the pre-charge pressure is too low, the accumulator must be recharged with nitrogen.
• See section “Recharging diaphragm accumulator”.

Parking brake is connected to the rear brake circuit and hasn’t got a separate accumulator. So
the rear circuit accumulator is used also for the parking brake releasing.

4. While maintaining pressure on the brake, measure depth, using suitable depth gauge or depth
micrometer, from the finished, spotfaced, surface at the port to the inboard face of the brake
reaction plate through the port holes.
• Note! Depth gauge probe must clear a 9 mm diameter hole at the outer outlet port holes.

5. Record port used and depth measurement for later use when measurement is repeated, using
the same procedure and port.
• Total brake plate pack lining wear then is the difference between the current measurement and
the initial one.

Baseline depth measurement is done at the factory when the brake lining plate pack is new. All future
measurements will be compared to new linings. Baseline depth as well as the maximum increase is
stamped near the port used for measurement. When recording this much wear, brake must be
disassembled for visual inspection. Due to allowable manufacturing tolerances there can be some
material left and linings can be further used.
The linings are considered worn out when they have worn to the bottom of the oil grooves in the lining
face.

Linings are worn out and must be replaced when they are worn to the bottom of the 6 mm deep wear
indicator groove. To replace linings, wheels of the machine must be blocked to prevent machine from
moving.
Brake must be in the released position (i.e. pressure on) to enable removal of linings. To remove
linings unscrew the four M8 allen head bolts (14) which are accessible through the holes drilled in
the bracket. Now the linings can be replaced.

The cables shall not rub to any sharp edges and they shall not be too tight in any machine position.
2. Ensure there are no self-made (=not documented) extensions or repairs in the cable.
3. Repairs by electric tape are not allowed.
4. Check that there are no bumps in the cable indicating possible internal wearing.
5. Tie the loose cables with cable ties, if necessary.
6. Check that there is a identification label installed in the both ends of the cable and they are clear
to read.

The tightening torques for screws and nuts
These values apply if the drawing shows no other specifications.
The values given in the drawings are for a lubricated screw.

When lubricating a screw, it is essential to lubricate both the thread and the screw head.
Locking with Loctite corresponds to a lubricated screw.

If screw tightening requires a torque wrench, the torque value must be mentioned in the drawing.

For Deutz, Caterpillar, Clark, and certain other components the values of the component manufacturer
apply.
The tightening torques for certain components, e.g. axles, rims and mounting screws, are given
separately.

Torque values are given in Nm units for each strength class.

PGP 620 - SERVICE INSTRUCTIONS

DISMANTLING AND ASSEMBLY

Prior to dismantling the unit ensure that the exterior of the pump and working area are thor-
oughly cleaned and free of possible sources of contamination.

1. Mark body (1) and flange (8) to ensure correct re-assembly.

2. Remove 4 nuts (11) and washers (12), or alternatively through bolts if fitted, separate
flange and body using a soft faced hammer.

3. Drift out outer shaft seal (9) if fitted, then remove retaining circlip (10) and finally inner
shaft seal from flange ensuring that shaft seal recess is not damaged.
4. Grasp driveshaft (5) and remove with balance plate (4), finally remove driven gear (6)
and lower balance plate (4). Note position of these for correct re-assembly.

5. Remove and discard ail seals and clean off all sealant from the flange/body interface.
INSPECTION

Pump

Inspect '0' ring groove and shaft seal recess in mounting flange, these should be undamaged
and free from burrs.

The pump must be renewed if:

a) The PFE coated bearings in body and flange are worn through revealing the bronze
backing.

b) The gear side faces are scored, often operation on contaminated fluid results in a dis-
tinct wear step coincident with the gear tooth root diameter with corresponding wear on
the balance plates.
c) There is a noticeable wear groove on the driveshaft where the shaft seal lips run.

d) The bronze balance plates are scored.

NB It is not recommended that damaged gears/bodies, flanges or balance plates are


replaced individually as this will not effect a good repair.

ASSEMBLY

Prior to assembly all parts must be perfectly clean and lubricated with Hydraulic Fluid.
Renew all seals using Hydraulic Fluid as a lubricant.

1
Pump

1. For spline and taper shaft pumps fit the shaft seal (9) into mounting flange (8) with the
garter spring facing into the pump, refit circlip (10), fit new outer shaft seal (if required)
with garter spring uppermost, coat seal lips with high melting point grease.

2. For parallel shaft pumps fit flange without seal fitted.

3. Stand pump body on the rear face, fit seal (3) and back up (2) to groove in balance
plate and feed plate into bore. Ensure that the seals remain in their groove and that the
two small holes in the balance plate are to the low pressure side of the pump i.e. side
with largest port.

4. Insert driveshaft (5) and driven gear (6) into their original bores.

5. Replace 2nd balance plate (4) into its original position, small holes to low pressure
side, fit seal (3) and back up (2).

6. Fit '0' ring (7) into its groove in the mounting flange and also apply a small amount of
Loctite 574 sealant to body lower front face i.e. outboard of oval location. This sealant
is to prevent moisture entering this area and causing corrosion and is not an hydraulic
seal.

7. Carefully fit mounting flange in its original position, the 4mm diameter drain hole in rear
face must be to low pressure side, do not damage seal on shaft.

8. Fit washers (12) and nuts (11) to studs (or through bolts and washers) and torque
tighten to 95 Nm + 5 Nm.
9. For pumps with paralle shafts fit protective sleeve (included in seal kit) over the drive
shaft, carefully feed shaft seal (9) over shaft with garter spring facing into pump and
push down into flange recess using a suitable tool, fit circlip (10) on pumps with double
shaft seal fit outermost seal with garter spring uppermost, carefully remove protective
sleeve.

10. Pour a small amount of clean hydraulic fluid into the port and check that the shaft can
be turned without undue force.

FOREWORD
This manual has been prepared to provide the customer and the maintenance personnel with information
and instructions on the maintenance and repair of the SPICER OFF-HIGHWAY PRODUCTS product.

Extreme care has been exercised in the design, selection of materials, and manufacturing of these units.
The slight outlay in personal attention and cost required to provide regular and proper lubrication, inspection
at stated intervals, and such adjustments as may be indicated will be reimbursed many times in low cost
operation and trouble free service.

In order to become familiar with the various parts of the product, its principle of operation, troubleshooting
and adjustments, it is urged that the mechanic studies the instructions in this manual carefully and uses it as
a reference when performing maintenance and repair operations.

Whenever repair or replacement of component parts is required, only SPICER OFF-HIGHWAY PRODUCTS
approved parts as listed in the applicable parts manual should be used. Use of “will-fit” or non-approved parts
may endanger proper operation and performance of the equipment. SPICER OFF-HIGHWAY PRODUCTS
does not warrant repair or replacement parts, nor failures resulting from the use of parts which are not
supplied by or approved by SPICER OFF-HIGHWAY PRODUCTS .

IMPORTANT
ALWAYS FURNISH THE DISTRIBUTOR WITH THE SERIAL AND MODEL NUMBER WHEN ORDERING PARTS.

When checking the difference between a 6-speed with range shift, a 3-speed standard ratio and a 3-speed
deep ratio, you would notice that the difference is only on the idler and the output shaft.

A 3-speed standard is similar to a 6-speed with range shift when high range is selected.
While a 3-speed deep ratio is similar to a 6-speed with range shift when low range is selected.

For this reason, we will use the 6-speed with range shift in most cases to explain the function of
the 3 different transmissions.

1. SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
To reduce the chance of personal injury and/or property damage, the following instruction must be carefully
observed.
Proper service and repair are important to the safety of the service technician and the safe, reliable operation
of the machine. If replacement parts are required the part must be replaced by a spare part which has the
same part number or with an equivalent part. Do not use a spare part of lesser quality.
The service procedures recommended in this manual are effective methods for performing service and
repair. Some of these procedures require the use of tools specifically designed for the purpose.
Accordingly, anyone who intends to use a spare part, service procedure or tool, which is not recommended
by SPICER OFF-HIGHWAY PRODUCTS, must first determine that neither his safety nor the safe operation of
the machine will be jeopardized by the spare part, service procedure or tool selected.

IMPORTANT
IT IS IMPORTANT TO NOTE THAT THIS MANUAL CONTAINS VARIOUS ’CAUTIONS’ AND ‘NOTICES’ THAT MUST BE
CAREFULLY OBSERVED IN ORDER TO REDUCE THE RISK OF PERSONAL INJURY DURING SERVICE OR REPAIR,
OR THE POSSIBILITY THAT IMPROPER SERVICE OR REPAIR MAY DAMAGE THE UNIT OR RENDER IT UNSAFE.
IT IS ALSO IMPORTANT TO UNDERSTAND THAT THESE ‘CAUTIONS’ AND ‘NOTICES’ ARE NOT EXHAUSTIVE,
BECAUSE IT IS IMPOSSIBLE TO WARN ABOUT ALL THE POSSIBLE HAZARDOUS CONSEQUENCES THAT MIGHT RESULT
FROM FAILURE TO FOLLOW THESE INSTRUCTIONS.

T20000 3&6 LD RS 08/99 1-1


2. CLEANING, INSPECTION AND LEGEND SYMBOLS

2.1 CLEANING
Clean all parts thoroughly using solvent type cleaning fluid. It is recommended that parts be immersed in
cleaning fluid and moved up and down slowly until all old lubricant and foreign material is dissolved and parts
are thoroughly cleaned.

CAUTION
CARE SHOULD BE EXERCISED TO AVOID SKIN RASHES, FIRE HAZARDS, AND INHALATION OF VAPOURS WHEN USING
SOLVENT TYPE CLEANERS.

2.1.1 Bearings
Remove bearings from cleaning fluid and strike flat against a block of wood to dislodge solidified particles of
lubricant. Immerse again in cleaning fluid to flush out particles. Repeat above operation until bearings are
thoroughly clean. Dry bearings using moisture-free compressed air. Be careful to direct air stream across
bearing to avoid spinning. Do not spin bearings when drying. Bearings may be rotated slowly by hand to
facilitate drying process.

2.1.2 Housings
Clean interior and exterior of housings, bearing caps, etc…, thoroughly. Cast parts may be cleaned in hot
solution tanks with mild alkali solutions providing these parts do not have ground or polished surfaces.
Parts should remain in solution long enough to be thoroughly cleaned and heated. This will aid the evaporation
of the cleaning solution and rinse water. Parts cleaned in solution tanks must be thoroughly rinsed with clean
water to remove all traces of alkali. Cast parts may also be cleaned with steam cleaner.

CAUTION
CARE SHOULD BE EXERCISED TO AVOID INHALATION OF VAPOURS AND SKIN RASHES WHEN USING ALKALI CLEANERS.

All parts cleaned must be thoroughly dried immediately by using moisture-free compressed air or soft, lintless
absorbent wiping rags free of abrasive materials such as metal fillings, contaminated oil, or lapping compound.

2.2 INSPECTION
The importance of careful and thorough inspection of all parts cannot be overstressed. Replacement of all
parts showing indication of wear or stress will eliminate costly and avoidable failures at a later date.

2.2.1 Bearings
Carefully inspect all rollers: cages and cups for wear, chipping, or nicks to determine fitness of bearings for
further use. Do not replace a bearing cone or cup individually without replacing the mating cup or cone at the
same time. After inspection, dip bearings in Automatic Transmission Fluid and wrap in clean lintless cloth or
paper to protect them until installed.

T20000 3&6 LD RS 08/99 2-1


Cleaning, inspection and legend symbols

2.2.2 Oil Seals, Gaskets, Etc.


Replacement of spring load oil seals, “O”-rings, metal sealing rings, gaskets, and snap rings is more economical
when unit is disassembled than premature overhaul to replace these parts at a future time.
Further loss of lubricant through a worn seal may result in failure of other more expensive parts of the
assembly. Sealing members should be handled carefully, particularly when being installed. Cutting, scratching,
or curling under of lip of seal seriously impairs its efficiency. When assembling new metal type sealing rings,
these should be lubricated with coat of chassis grease to stabilize rings in their grooves for ease of assembly
of mating members. Lubricate all “O”-rings and seals with recommended type Automatic Transmission Fluid
before assembly.

2.2.3 Gears and Shafts


If magna-flux process is available, use process to check parts. Examine teeth on all gears carefully for wear,
pitting, chipping, nicks, cracks, or scores. If gear teeth show spots where case hardening is worn through or
cracked, replace with new gear. Small nicks may be removed with suitable hone. Inspect shafts and quills to
make certain they are not sprung, bent, or splines twisted, and that shafts are true.

2.2.4 Housing, Covers, etc.


Inspect housings, covers and bearing caps to ensure that they are thoroughly clean and that mating surfaces,
bearing bores, etc…, are free from nicks or burrs. Check all parts carefully for evidence of cracks or conditions
which would cause subsequent oil leaks or failures.

4.1 OIL SPECIFICATION

4.1.1 Recommended lubricants


1. Caterpillar TO-4.
2. John Deere J20 C, D.
3. Military MIL-PRF-2104G.
4. Allison C-4.
5. Dexron* II Equivalent - See note below.

Note
DEXRON* II EQUIVALENT IS ACCEPTABLE; HOWEVER IT IS NOT COMPATIBLE WITH TORQUE CONVERTERS OR
TRANSMISSIONS EQUIPPED WITH GRAPHITIC FRICTION MATERIAL CLUTCH PLATES.

Caution
DEXRON* III, ENGINE OIL OR GL-5 OILS ARE NOT RECOMMENDED.

PREFERRED OIL VISCOSITY


It is recommended that the highest viscosity monograde lubricant available be used for the anticipated
ambient temperature. Typically this will be a CAT TO-4 qualified lubricant. When large swings in ambient
temperature are probable, J20 C, D multigrades are recommended. Multigrade lubricants should be applied
at the lower viscosity rating for the prevailing ambient temperature, i.e. a 10W20 should be used where a
10W monograde is used. If a C-4 multigrade is used in stead of J20 lubricant it is recommended that the
viscosity span no more than 10 points, i.e. 10W20.

Caution
SYNTHETIC LUBRICANTS ARE APPROVED IF QUALIFIED BY ONE OF THE ABOVE SPECIFICATIONS.
OIL VISCOSITY GUIDELINES APPLY, BUT SYNTHETIC MULTIGRADES MAY SPAN MORE THAN 10 POINTS.

Maintenance

SUMP PREHEATERS
Preheat the transmission fluid to the minimum temperature for the oil viscosity used before engine start up.

NORMAL OIL CHANGE INTERVAL


Drain and refill system every 1000 hours for average environmental and duty cycle conditions. Severe or
sustained high operating temperature or very dusty atmospheric conditions will result in accelerated
deterioration or contamination. Judgement must be used to determine the required change intervals for
extreme conditions.

EXTENDED OIL CHANGE INTERVAL


Extended oil service life may result when using synthetic fluids. Appropriate change intervals should be
determined for each transmission by measuring oil oxidation and wear metals, over time, to determine a
baseline. Wear metal analysis can provide useful information but a transmission should not be removed from
service based solely on this analysis.

FILTERS
Service oil filters element every 500 hours under normal environmental and duty cycle conditions.

Maintenance

4.2 MAINTENANCE INTERVALS

4.2.1 Daily
Check oil level daily with engine running at idle (600 RPM) and oil at 82 - 93 °C (180-200 F).
Maintain oil level at full mark.

4.2.2 Normal drain period


Normal drain period and oil filter element change are for average environment and duty cycle condition.
Severe or sustained high operating temperature or very dusty atmospheric conditions will cause accelerated
deterioration and contamination.
For extreme conditions judgement must be used to determine the required change intervals.
Every 500 hours
Change oil filter element.
Every 1000 hours
Drain and refill system as follows (Drain with oil at 65 - 93 °C (150 - 200 F)):
1. Drain transmission.
2. Remove and discard filter. Install new filter.
3. Refill transmission to FULL mark.
4. Run engine at 500 - 600 RPM to prime convertor and lines.
5. Recheck level with engine running at 500 - 600 RPM and add oil to bring level to LOW mark.
When oil temperature is hot 82.2 - 93.3 °C (180- 200 F) make final oil level check and adjust if
necessary to bring oil level to FULL mark.

Note
IT IS RECOMMENDED THAT OIL FILTER BE CHANGED AFTER 100 HOURS OF OPERATION ON NEW,
REBUILT OR REPAIRED UNIT.

T20000 3&6 LD RS 08/99 4-3


Maintenance

4.3 SERVICING MACHINE AFTER COMPONENTS OVERHAUL


The transmission, torque converter, and its allied hydraulic system are important links in the driveline between
the engine and the wheels. The proper operation of either unit depends greatly on the condition and operation
of the other. Therefore, whenever repair or overhaul of one unit is performed, the balance of the system must
be considered before the job can be considered complete.
After the overhauled or repaired transmission has been installed in the machine, the oil cooler, and connecting
hydraulic system must be thoroughly cleaned. This can be accomplished in several manners and a degree of
judgement must be exercised as to the method employed.

The following are considered the minimum steps to be taken:


1. Drain entire system thoroughly.
2. Disconnect and clean all hydraulic lines. Where feasible hydraulic lines should be removed from machine
for cleaning.
3. Replace oil filter element.
4. The oil cooler must be thoroughly cleaned. The cooler should be “back flushed” with oil and compressed
air until all foreign material has been removed. Flushing in direction of normal oil flow will not adequately
clean the cooler. If necessary, cooler assembly should be removed from machine for cleaning, using oil,
compressed air, and steam cleaner for that purpose.

IMPORTANT
DO NOT USE FLUSHING COMPOUNDS FOR CLEANING PURPOSES.
5. Reassemble all components and use only type oil (See chapter 4.1.1 “Recommended lubricants”).
Fill the transmission through filler opening until fluid comes up to FULL mark on transmission dipstick.
• Remove filler plug and fill oil until FULL mark.
• Run engine two minutes at 500 - 600 RPM to prime torque convertor and hydraulic lines.
• Recheck level of fluid in transmission with engine running at idle (500 - 600 RPM).
• Add quantity necessary to bring fluid level to LOW mark on dipstick.
• Recheck with hot oil 82.2 - 93.3 °C (180 - 200 F).
• Adjust oil level to FULL mark on dipstick.
6. Recheck all drain plugs, lines, connections, etc.…, for leaks and tighten where necessary.

6. OPERATION OF THE TRANSMISSION

6.1 THE TRANSMISSION ASSEMBLY

Basically the transmission is composed of five main assemblies:


1. The converter, pump drive section and pressure regulating valve.
2. The input shaft and directional clutches.
3. The range clutches.
4. The output section.
5. The transmission control valve.

T20000 3&6 LD RS 08/99 6-1


Operation of the transmission

6.1.1 The converter, pump drive section and pressure regulating valve
Engine power is transmitted from the engine flywheel to the impeller through the impeller cover.
This element is the pump portion of the hydraulic torque converter and is the primary component which starts
the oil flowing to the other components which results in torque multiplication. This element can be compared
to a centrifugal pump, that picks up fluid at its centre and discharges it at the outer diameter.
The torque converter turbine is mounted opposite the impeller and is connected to the turbine shaft of the
torque converter. This element receives fluid at its outer diameter and discharges it at its centre.
The reaction member of the torque converter is located between and at the centre of the inner diameters of
the impeller and turbine elements. Its function is to take the fluid which is exhausting from the inner portion of
the turbine and change its direction to allow correct entry for recirculation into the impeller element.
This recirculation will make the converter to multiply torque.
The torque multiplication is function of the blading (impeller, turbine and reaction member) and the converter
output speed (turbine speed). The converter will multiply engine torque to its designed maximum multiplication
ratio when the turbine shaft is at zero RPM (stall).
Therefore we can say that as the turbine shaft is decreasing in speed, the torque multiplication is increasing.
The hydraulic pump is connected with the pump drive gear. This pump drive gear is driven by the impeller hub
gear. Since the impeller hub gear is connected with the impeller cover, the pump speed is in direct relation
with the engine speed.

Note
THE PRESSURE REGULATOR VALVE AND SAFETY VALVE ARE MOUNTED BEHIND THE FILTER,
IN THE FILTER ADAPTER HOUSING.

Operation of the transmission

6.1.2 The input shaft and directional clutches


The turbine shaft driven from the turbine transmits power to the forward or reverse clutch.
These clutches consist of a drum with internal splines and a bore to receive a hydraulic actuated piston.
The piston is oil tight by the use of sealing rings. The steel discs with external splines, and friction discs
with internal splines, are alternated until the required total is achieved.
A back-up plate is then inserted and secured with a retainer ring. A hub with outer diameter splines is
inserted into the splines of discs with teeth on the inner diameter. The discs and hub are free to increase in
speed or rotate in the opposite direction as long as no pressure is present in that specific clutch.
To engage the clutch, the solenoid will direct oil under pressure through tubes and passages to the selected
clutch shafts.
Oil sealing rings are located on the clutch shafts. These rings direct the oil through a drilled passage in the
shaft to the desired clutch.
Pressure of the oil forces the piston and discs against the back-up plate. The discs with splines on the outer
diameter clamping against discs with teeth on the inner diameter enables the drum and hub to be locked
together and allows them to drive as one unit.
When the clutch is released, a return spring will push the piston back and oil will drain back via the shift spool,
the bleed valve or holes in the clutch piston into the transmission sump.
These bleed valves will only allow quick escape of oil when the pressure to the piston is released.
As an option the engagement of the directional clutches can be modulated. This means that clutch pressure
is built up gradually. This will enable the unit to make forward, reverse shifts while the vehicle is still moving
and will allow smooth engagement of drive. The modulation is done hydraulically.

Operation of the transmission

6.1.3 The range clutches


Once a directional clutch is engaged power is transmitted to the range clutches (1st, 2nd or 3rd).
Operation and actuation of the range clutches is similar to the directional clutches.
The engagement of the range clutches are not modulated.

6.1.4 The output section


With a range clutch engaged, power is finally transmitted to the output shaft.
Output rotation is opposite as the engine rotation when the forward clutch is engaged.
A front and/or rear axle disconnect is optional and is located on the output shaft. The drive to the front and/
or rear axle can be disconnected or connected by manual shifting.

Note
TO ENGAGE OR DISENGAGE THE AXLE DISCONNECT, THE VEHICLE IS NOT ALLOWED TO DRIVE,
BUT NEEDS TO BE AT STANDSTILL.

The 6-speed range shift transmission has a manual shifting to select low or high range.

Operation of the transmission

6.1.5 The transmission controls (refer to hydraulic diagram)


The transmission is controlled by the control valve. The control valve assembly is mounted directly on the
side of the converter housing. The function of the control valve assembly is to direct oil under pressure to
the desired directional and speed clutch. A provision is made on certain models for inching or declutch
when the brakes are applied.
This is accomplished through use of a brake actuated valve.
The control valve has 4 solenoids and 4 shift spools.
Operation of the valve
Forward can be selected by activating the forward solenoid. The forward solenoid will then allow pilot pressure
to move the forward shift spool. Due to this movement of the shift spool the forward clutch is fed with oil
pressure.
When the reverse solenoid is activated, pilot pressure will move the reverse shift spool.
The reverse clutch will be fed with oil pressure.
The shift spools of forward and reverse are located opposite each other separated by a return spring.
This ensures that only one direction can be selected.

7. TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE FOR THE T20000 TRANSMISSION

The following information is presented as an aid to isolating and determining the specific problem area in a
transmission that is not functioning correctly.
When troubleshooting a “transmission” problem, it should be kept in mind that the transmission is only the
central unit of a group of related powertrain components. Proper operation of the transmission depends on
the condition and correct functioning of the other components of the group. Therefore, to properly diagnose
a suspected problem in the transmission, it is necessary to consider the transmission fluid, charging pump,
torque converter, transmission assembly, oil cooler, filter, connecting lines, and controls, including the engine,
as a complete system.
By analysing the principles of operation together with the information in this section, it should be possible to
identify and correct any malfunction which may occur in the system.

7.1 T20000 TRANSMISSION


T20000 (power shift with torque converter transmission) troubles fall into three general categories:
1. Mechanical problems.
2. Hydraulic problems.
3. Electrical problems.
In addition to the mechanical and electrical components, all of which must be in the proper condition and
functioning correctly, the correct functioning of the hydraulic circuit is most important. Transmission fluid is
the “life blood” of the transmission. It must be supplied in an adequate quantity and delivered to the system
at the correct pressures to ensure converter operation, to engage and hold the clutches from slipping, and to
cool and lubricate the working components.

7.2 TROUBLESHOOTING PROCEDURES

7.2.1 Stall Test


A stall test to identifies transmission, converter, or engine problems.
Use following procedure:
1. Put the vehicle against a solid barrier, such as a wall, and/or apply the parking brake and block the
wheels.
2. Put the directional control lever in FORWARD (or REVERSE, as applicable).
3. Select the highest speed.
With the engine running, slowly increase engine speed to approximately one-half throttle and hold until
transmission (converter outlet) oil temperature reaches the operating range.

CAUTION
DO NOT OPERATE THE CONVERTER AT STALL CONDITION LONGER THAN 30 SECONDS AT ONE TIME, SHIFT TO NEUTRAL
FOR15 SECONDS AND REPEAT THE PROCEDURE UNTIL DESIRED TEMPERATURE IS REACHED.
EXCESSIVE TEMPERATURE 120 °C (250 F) MAXIMUM WILL CAUSE DAMAGE TO TRANSMISSION CLUTCHES, FLUID,
CONVERTER, AND SEALS.

T20000 3&6 LD RS 08/99 7-1


Troubleshooting guide

7.2.2 Transmission pressure checks


Transmission problems can be isolated by the use of pressure tests. When the stall test indicates slipping
clutches, then measure clutch pack pressure to determine if the slippage is due to low pressure or clutch
plate friction material failure.
In addition, converter charging pressure and transmission lubrication pressure can also be measured.

7.2.3 Mechanical and electrical checks


Prior to checking any part of the system for hydraulic function (pressure testing), the following mechanical
and electrical checks should be made:
• Check the parking brake and inching pedal for correct adjustment.
• Be sure all lever linkage is properly connected and adjusted in each segment and at all connecting points.
• The controls are actuated electrically. Check the wiring and electrical components.
• Be sure that all components of the cooling system are in good condition and operating correctly.
The radiator must be clean to maintain the proper cooling and operating temperatures for the engine and
transmission. Air clean the radiator, if necessary.
• The engine must be operating correctly. Be sure that it is correctly tuned and adjusted to the correct idle
and maximum no-load governed speed specifications.

7.2.4 Hydraulic checks


Also, before checking the transmission clutches, torque converter, charging pump, and hydraulic circuit for
pressure and rate of oil flow, it is important to make the following transmission fluid check:
Check oil level in the transmission. The transmission fluid must be at the correct (full level).
All clutches and the converter and its fluid circuit lines must be fully charged (filled) at all times.

Note
THE TRANSMISSION FLUID MUST BE AT OPERATING TEMPERATURE OF 82 - 93 °C (180 - 200 F) TO OBTAIN
CORRECT FLUID LEVEL AND PRESSURE READINGS.
DO NOT ATTEMPT TO MAKE THESE CHECKS WITH COLD OIL.

To raise the oil temperature to this specification it is necessary to either operate (work) the vehicle or run the
engine with converter at “stall” (Refer to 7.2.1 “Stall test”).

CAUTION
BE CAREFUL THAT THE VEHICLE DOES NOT MOVE UNEXPECTEDLY WHEN OPERATING THE ENGINE AND
CONVERTER AT STALL RPM.

Troubleshooting guide

7.5 SPEED SENSOR - STATIC STANDALONE TEST

In order to be able to sense the currents, a series resistor of e.g. 200 Ohms must be used. This resistor is
integrated in the controller, but when the sensor is to be tested, it must be connected externally.
The idea is to connect the sensor to an external power source and measure the DC voltage across the series
resistor.
The voltage reading should be either 1.2V-1.6V (for the 7mA ± 1mA current level) or 2.6-3.0V
(for the 14mA ± 1mA current level)
If the teeth can be moved slowly, distinct toggling between the two levels should be noticed.

11.2.1.2 Adjustment and rebuild criteria
1. Check to insure floating parts move freely and that all other parts are mounted securely.
Tighten hardware as required.
2. Check actuator linkage to insure that there is adequate freedom of movement for positive brake
operation. Adjustment of pad gap is to be accomplished by adjusting the actuating cable or linkage.
If adjustment is used up, back off cable or linkage. Unbend tab on anti-rotation clip and loosen screw
enough to disengage lever spline. Rotate the lever one tooth, in the direction opposite the actuation
direction, and retorque the screw making sure the spline teeth are properly engaged.
Bend up a tab that aligns with one of the screw head flats, to prevent screw rotation.
Both lever and linkage must be free to return to home position. An external return spring is required.
3. Check disc surface condition. Replace if it is badly warped, pitted, or below minimum recommended
thickness. Check for loose mount bolts. Retighten if necessary.
4. Check to insure friction pads are not worn to less than .039” (1.0mm) thick. Replace worn friction pads.
Generally, if the disc is still running true and the pad clearance is still adjustable,
no other maintenance is required. To check for wear, measure the distance from the carrier side casting
face to disc face. If the distance is less than .060” (1.5mm), replace the friction pads.

11.2.1.3 Replacing friction pads

Note
STAMPED ON THE BACK OF EACH FRICTION PAD IS A CODE. THE FIRST 1 OR 2 CHARACTERS IS A NUMBER THAT
SPECIFIES THE FRICTION MATERIAL TYPE.CHECK TO INSURE NEW PADS ARE THE SAME AS THE WORN PADS REMOVED.
REPLACE FRICTION PADS ONLY IN PAIRS.

To replace the friction pads it is necessary to release the brake and disconnect the actuator
from the brake lever.
1. Remove one brake mounting bolt. Swing the brake up over the disc to expose the brake pads.
In close clearance applications the brake may be removed from the vehicle.
Using a flat bladed screw driver, pry out the used brake pads from their respective positions.
The lever side friction pad is snapped onto the plastic actuator cover. Care should be used in removing
the friction pad from the plastic actuator cover so as not to break off the center snap tabs.
2. Place the new friction pads in their respective positions.
The lever side friction pad has a center hole which snaps over the plastic snap tabs of the actuator
cover. The flat on the lever side pad must align with the flat on the plastic rotor cover, allowing the pad
to sit flat.
If the snap tabs are gone dab some silicone gasket adhesive around the back edge of the friction pad
and press firmly into place aligned as described above. Before placing the carrier pad in postition,
clean out excisting pad glue from the pad compartment.
Place a layer of silicone gasket adhesive all along the back edge of the carrier friction pad and press
firmly in place. Push the lever side pad into the brake as far as possible.
3. Swing the brake over the disc and install the mounting bolt and tighten all mounting bolts.
4. After friction pad replacement, the brake actuating lever is no longer in the correct position for the
actuating linkage.
Unbend tab on anti-rotation clip and loosen screw enough to disengage the lever spline.
Rotate the lever to the OEM and torque screw to 110 - 140 in.lbs.(12.4 -15.8 Nm). Bend up a tab on the
antirotation clip that aligns with one of the screw head flats, to prevent screw rotation.
Attach actuating cable or linkage to the lever. Adjustment of pad gap is accomplished by adjusting
the actuating cable or linkage.

T20000 3&6 LD RS 08/99 11-23


11.2.1.4 Disassembly
Perform disassembly on a clean work bench.
1. Disconnect the actuator cable or linkage and remove brake from its mounting.
2. Remove friction pads. (see “Replacing Friction Pads”)
3. Unbend anti-rotation clip tab away from lever holding screw. Remove screw, anti-rotation clip, washers,
lever, and spring.
4. Push out rotor assembly from the casting.

Caution
BALL SPACER AND 3 BALL BEARINGS MAY COME OUT WITH THE ROTOR ASSEMBLY.
(FOR ROTOR DISASSEMBLY SEE “SERVICING ROTOR ASSEMBLY”).

5. Remove 3 ball bearings and ball spacer.


6. Shaft seal need only be replaced if excessively wom or cracked. If replacement is necessary, press out
the plastic shaft seal from inside the casting, using a steel spacer block 1.078"(27.38mm) diameter by
2.5” (63.5mm) long and an arbor press.

Note
POPULAR BRAND NAME 3/8" DRIVE 13/16" HEX DEEP SOCKET WORKS WELL AS A SPACER BLOCK.

7. After the shaft seal is pressed out, remove the sliver of plastic that may be left in the
groove in the casting.

This completes disassembly of the brake.

11.2.1.5 Cleaning and inspection


1. Clean all parts with denatured alcohol and either wipe dry with a clean lint free cloth
or blow dry with an air hose.
2. Examine all parts carefully for signs of excessive wear, damage, or corrosion.
Replace any parts found to be damaged.
3. Check rotor assembly for cracks. Replace if necessary.
4. Inspect the casting ball pockets for scoring, pitting, cracks or corrosion.
A corroded or deeply scored casting should be replaced.
Light scoring and stains may be removed.
5. Check to see that the disc is not bent or misshaped.
6. Check lever spring for breakage.

T20000 3&6 LD RS 08/99 11-24


11.2.1.6 Assembly
Prior to assembly make sure all parts are clean and serviceable.
1. Install a new shaft seal by inserting the seaI from the outside of the casting with the extended smooth
surface inserted first. Using an arbor press, with a protective spacer block between the arbor press
and the seal, gently press the seal in until it snaps into the groove in the casting.
2. Coat with grease, the ball pockets in the casting, the shaft and ball pockets of the rotor assembly.
3. Insert 3 ball bearings and ball spacer into the pockets in the casting.
4. From the inside of the casting slide the shaft of the rotor assembly thru the shaft seal and seat
the ball pockets against the ball beanrings.
5. PIace the spring over the large diameter pilot on the outside of the castıng.
6. Install the lever, making sure the small diameter of the spring is piloted on the outside
of the 4 pins in the lever. Set the lever in the OEM position.
7. Install the washers and anti-rotation clip with its tab inserted into the lower hole in the lever.
8. Insert screw into rotor assembly shaft and tighten to 110 - 140 in.lbs.(12.4 - 15.8Nm),
while guiding lever over rotor assembly spline.
9. After the proper torque is achieved and the lever is in the OEM position, bend up a tab on the
anti-rotation clip that aligns with one of the screw head flats, to prevent screw rotation.
10. Install the friction pads onto the rotor assembly and carrier. (see ‘’Replacing Friction Pads”).
11. Stroke lever in its proper direction. The lever must rotate thru 60 degrees of rotation.
Return lever to the OEM position and make sure the lever side friction pad is fully rerurned.

11.2.1.7 Replacing mount bushings


1. Push mount bushings completely out of the brake casting.
2. Remove the four (4) “O”-rings from the grooves in the casting, being carefull not to damage the
grooves. Clean the grooves and the bore with denatured alcohol or cleaning solvent. Let dry.
Lubricate the grooves and “O”-rings with the grease furnished with the service kit.
Install the “O”-rings into the grooves.
3. Coat the bushings with kit grease. Insert bushing through the “O”-ring.
Wipe off any excess grease.

11.2.1.8 Servicing rotor assembly


Disassemble brake as previously described.
1. Using a sharp knife, make several cuts through the outside diameler of the rigid plastic rotor cover.
Break apart the plastic, remove and discard.
2. Discard the plain bearing from under the plasic cover
3. ThoroughIy clean all dirt and grease residue from the rotor.
4. Amply grease one face of the new plain bearing and place it into the new rotor cover, grease to plastic.
Amply grease the other face of the insert.
5. To assemble the new plastic rotor cover a bench vise is necessary.
Snap a friction pad onto the plastic cover.
Place the plastic cover over rte rotor, place in a vice, and slowly squeeze the cover and rotor until the
cover snaps in place. Remove the friction pad and reassemble the brake as previously described.

11.2.2.2 Operation
Ten disc springs (8) are used to hold the park brake in the actuated state.
The springs (8) push the pistons (9,12) into the lining and carrier assembly (19) which squeezes
a driveline mounted disc. The brake is released by fluid entering a SAE 7/16-20 threaded inlet
in the side of the torque plate (1) which pushes the pistons back and compresses the springs (8).

11.2.2.3 Adjustment and rebuild criteria


1. Apply hydraulic pressure to the brake.
2. Remove plug (5) and set running clearance (.020” - .030”) using the adjustment bolt (6).
3. Replace plug (5).
4. Even up running clearance on each side of the disc by adjusting the carrier retaining bolt ( 17).

The brake should be rebuilt when one or more of the following criteria are met:
1. Any signs of fluid leakage.
2. Lining thickness less than .031".
3. Cracked or chipped linings.

11.2.2.4 Replacing friction pads


1. Apply hydraulic pressure to the brake and remove plug (5) and carrier bolt (17).
2. With pressure applied, back-off adjustment bolt (6) until piston (12) is flush with piston (9).
3. Release hydraulic pressure from the brake and remove lining and carrier assemblies (19).

Recommended Lubricants for Clark Drive Axles


Initial Fill
Grade 85W140 qualified MIL-L-2105C gear lubricant as specified in Clark MS-8 engineering standard is preferred for initial fill for most ambient
temperatures. (See chart on page 4) For other ambient temperature ranges use proper viscosities of MIL-L-2105C.
Other lubricants approved to MIL-L-2105C specifications are acceptable for initial fill or top off.

Service Fill
Multipurpose gear lubricants approved to the MIL-L-2105C specifications are recommended.
MIL-L-2105C classifies multigrade gear lubricants on the basis of their viscosities at various temperatures.
Listed on page 4 are the recommended multigrade viscosities for use at the prevailing operating temperatures in Clark Drive
Axles.

MS-8 Extreme Pressure Gear Lubricant


MS-8 specifications covers a gear lubricant for use in heavy-duty axles. It is a highly refined base stock properly compounded with selected extreme
pressure additives. MS-8 meets MIL-L-2105C but is fortified with an additive package that provides added protection during the break-in period and
reduced wear and improved efficiency during subsequent operation.

APPROXIMATE LUBRICANT CAPACITIES


Note: All quantities are shown in pints; 1 pint -1 pound -1 [liter ]

Below listed capacities are approximate. There may be some axle variations that are not included in this list. If your model axle does not appear on the list, fill
to proper level as instructed in this manual. Always fill wheel ends and axle centers to the bottom of the oil level plug hole.

Checking Oil Level in Drive Axles

For off-highway operation, check lubricant level after each 250 hours of operation. Always maintain lubricant level to
bottom of filter plug hole Drain oil every 2500 hours, or one year whichever comes first.
For highway operation, lubricant should bc checked each ,5000 miles [8000 km] Maintain lubricant level to bottom of filter
plug hole' Drain oil every 2,5.000 miles [ 40,000 km] or one year whichever comes first.
To check oil level in axles with differential drive and planetary wheel ends, the axle should be run first. then allowed to stand for a minimum of five minutes on level
ground. This procedure will allow oil to drain back to its normal level. After the five minute interval, remove' oil filter p]ug in axle center and in the planetary wheel ends for oil
level inspection. foil level is not to the bottom of thc filter hole, add necessary lubricant.

Checking and Filling Planetary Wheel Ends

Always check lubricant level in planetary wheel ends with wheel hub oil level plug and/or arrow in a down position. Remove
oil cycling. If lubricant is below oil level hole, remove filter plug and fill to Oil level hole. Reinstall plugs.

Filling Drive Axles

Axles with single or double reduction at enter Fill axle housing through filter ho]c until lubricant is at bottom of filter hole. Axles with planetary wheel ends. Follow,
procedure' in checking and filling planetary wheel ends.

Trunnion Mounted Axles

To grease the trunnion mount bushings use a high quality Lithium 12-hydroxy-stearate base grease N.L.G.L. Grade No 2 that contains a minimum of 3% MoS2
(Molybdenum disulfide) by weight.
NLGI National Lubricating Grease Institute.

Draining
Draining is best accomplished immediately after vehicle' has operated a short time or completed a trip. The lubricant is then
warm and will flow freely, allowing full drainage in minimum time. This is particular]y desirable in cold weather.
Remove plug at bottom of axle housing and allow, sufficient time for lubricant to drain. With planetary wheel ends rotate wheel until filler hole is down. Remove plug
and allow sufficient time for draining. Be sure planet cover oil level hole is in proper position when refilling wheel ends.

Flushing

After draining, axles should he flushed. Replace drain plugs and fill axles to proper level With a light flushing oil. Operate the axles for a short period of time, then drain
Be sure to drain all of the flushing oil before refilling with new, oil. Inspect the magnetic drain plug for metal particle's or other foreign matter indicative of wear or possible
failure. When refilling, cleanliness is extremely important.

LIQUID COOLED BRAKE TESTING PROCEDURE

1. Connect a porto-power unit to brake line inlet.

2. Pump porto-power up to about 1000 psi and bleed brake. After all air is out of brake, pump porto-power
up to 1800 psi and lock off. The gage will show about 100 psi drop. At this point the gage should hold. After 3 to 5 minutes unlock
gage, let pressure bleed off so the gage shows zero, then pump porto-power up to about 300 psi. Lock off porto-power. Gage
should hold at 300 psi. Let stand for about five minutes. If the pressure holds, the brake does not leak. If there is a drop in
pressure on the gage the brake is leaking and will require a complete disassembly to replace the piston inner and/or outer sealing
ring.

3. After making a satisfactory test, relieve pressure on the porto-power and remove. Reinstall brake line and bleed brakes in a normal
manner.

wheel, which still has traction, continues to drive the vehicle until traction is regained
Adjustments
by both wheels There can be no one-wheel spinout when using NoSPIN differentials
No adjustments or alterations should be made to the NoSPIN differential
(Fig 1)

VEHICLE PERFORMANCE
The performance of a vehicle equipped with a NoSPIN differential will differ from that
of a vehicle equipped with a conventional differential For example

When turning a corner the sound of gear disengagement and reengagement may
be audible, and
the transfer of driving torque from both wheels to one
wheel may be noticeable

When going from drive (acceleration) to coast (deceleration) in a turn, a


"metallic" sound may be heard as torque flow is reversed (inside wheel engaged
during acceleration; outside wheel engaged during deceleration)

These characteristics are normal because of backlash designed Into the NoSPIN
differential

When negotiating a turn under conditions of poor traction, the inside wheel may
receive excessive torque which will cause it to break traction This will cause the
inside wheel to slip until the turn is completed or until the inside wheel catches up
with the outside wheel
When the vehicle turns a corner, or when one wheel passes over an obstruction.
the outside wheel, or the wheel passing over the obstruction. must travel a
greater distance and therefore faster than the other wheel When this occurs. the A CAUTION
NoSPIN differential automatically allows for the necessary difference in wheel
speed (Fig 2)
Operator
Turn the engine off and raise all driving wheels of a NoSPIN differential equipped
axle when changing tires to prevent the vehicle from moving Axles equipped with
NoSPIN differentials deliver power to both wheels-even when only one wheel IS on
the ground

Do not operate the vehicle If both wheels of a NoSPIN differential equipped ax

Distribute the load evenly side-to-side do not exceed the vehicles rated payload
capacity keep the diameter of the tires equal Failure to observe these measures
can create a difference In individual wheel speeds which can cause the NoSPI N

LIMITED SLIP DIFFERENTIAL

General Description

The limited slip differential is similar in construction to the torque proportioning or conventional differential. The difference is
that the limited slip differential contains a set of discs, like those used in the Clark transmission, which are mounted between
the differential side gears and differential case, These discs limit the amount of "differential" according to the amount of torque
transmitted through the differential assembly.* The purpose of the limited slip differential is to give better traction
characteristics than a torque proportioning or conventional differential and to give better "differential action" when turning
than the "no-spin" differential. The result is a compromise which provides good traction and less tire wear.

* Differential action is that function of a differential which allows the outside wheel to rotate faster than the inside wheel when
turning a machine.

Operation

In the limited slip differential there is a set of internally splined discs and a set of externally splined discs behind each side
gear. The internal discs are splined to the side gear and must rotate when the side gear rotates. The external discs are splined to
the differential case and must rotate when the differential case rotates, The amount of torque transmitted through the
differential assembly determines the force the side gears exert against the discs. When a small amount of torque is transmitted
through the axle assembly, the side gears have little side thrust, When a high amount of torque is transmitted through the
differential assembly, the side gears have a high side thrust and the discs are compressed together ,

When a machine is traveling straight, the side gears and the differential case are rotating at the same speed and there is no
slipping action between the discs. When a machine is turning, the side gears must rotate at a different speed than the
differential case, The discs must slip. The amount the discs slip is controlled by the pressure exerted by the side gear and the
degree the machine is turned. If the torque transmitted through the axle is low, the discs are free to slip easily and "differential
action" takes place easily. When the torque transmitted through the axle is high, the discs are compressed together by the force
of the side gears and the "differential action" will not take place as easily.

As the discs wear through normal use, the side gears move farther outward. The limited slip differential
isself-adjusting or self-compensating for wear -the torque proportioning axle is not.
Lubrication and Service

The limited slip differential uses the same type of lubricant recommended for torque proportioning or conventional
axles and the service interval is the same, For proper lubrication of the discs the oil level in the axle housing had to
be raised to the center line of the housing. Any axle that comes from the factory equipped with the limited slip
differential will have an oil level plug properly located in the center line of the housing,

It is extremely important that the oil level be kept at the level plug. If the oil level becomes too low the discs will not
receive sufficient lubrication and will wear rapidly.

Disc Replacement in the Limited Slip Differential

Disc replacement time is determined by the amount of material collected on the magnetic drain plug. When the oil
level is checked, examine the drain plug for metal particles. A considerable increase in the amount of metal particles
found on the magnetic drain plug indicates the necessity for replacing the discs.

Disassembly and Assembly of the Differential Unit

The limited slip differential unit is disassembled and assembled like the conventional or torque proportioning
differential unit. The only difference being the removal and installation of the discs, Note the position of the internally
and externally splined discs when disassemblying and replace the discs in the same position.

SEAL REBUILDING INSTRUCTIONS FOR SPLIT SEAL INSTALLATION

1. The rebuilding kit includes two (2) rubber rings (see Figure 1) and two (2) lint free wiping cloths. Both of the rubber
rings must have barbs as shown in the drawing.

NOTE: In rebuilding the seal do not intermix metal sealing rings. Keep original mated metal sealing rings as a set (see
Figure 2).

2. Before rebuilding the seal inspect the two metal sealing rings in the following manner to determine if it is acceptable for rebuilding.

(a) The sealing band must be within the outer half of the sealing face (see Figures 3 and 4). The sealing band is a
narrow highly polished band on the sealing face.

Seal acceptable for rebuilding. Sealing band not within outer half of sealing face.

Seal not acceptable for rebuilding.

(b) The sealing band must be uniform in width and must be concentric with the I.D. and O.D. of the sealing face
(see Figure 5).

If the metal sealing rings do not meet the proper specifications, do not rebuild the seal-use a completely new seal.

Sealing band not concentric with I.D. and O.D.


of sealing face. Seal not acceptable for
rebuilding.

3. The metal sealing rings must be cleaned as follows:

(a) Remove any foreign material from the back of the metal sealing rings with a scraper or wire brush (see Figure 6).
(b) Clean the metal sealing rings with a clean degreasing solvent then wipe with the lint free wiping cloths furnished in the rebuilding kit (see Figure
6).

4. Assemble the rubber rings to the metal sealing rings. Be sure the rubber rings are completely seated against the
back of sealing faces (see Figure 7).

5. Apply a thin film of light oil to one of the sealing faces. being careful not to wet other surfaces with oil (see Figure 7).
Cleanliness is critical when handling these seals.
6. See page 54 for face seal installation instructions.

-53
FACE SEAL INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

1. Examine the seal carefully and note its four basic parts. It has two rubber members and two lapped metal sealing rings. On
new face seals a clear plastic retainer band is optional and is used only to hold the seals together. Discard plastic band. Note that both rubber
members have barbs at the O.D. The barbs are there to hold the seal halves concentrically in their bores while you are making the assembly; that is
their only function.

It is possible to push a rubber member off of the neck of the metal sealing ring. Do not install the seal while it is in this condition the rubber member
will not go back on the neck of the metal sealing ring by itself. Before installing the seal, you must push the rubber member back on the neck of the
metal sealing ring When installing the seal you must hold it so that you will not dislodge the rubber members from the metal sealing ring.

2. The seal is intended to be held in its operating position by two counterbores.

One (1) of these bores will be in the wheel hub (a rotating member) and the other bore will be stationary (in the liquid cooled brake housing.)

The function of this seal is to prevent dirt from entering the axle end or axle lube from leaking.

3. An important point to note is that there must be no oil or dirt on the bores, rubber members, or any area of the casting except
the lapped face as explained below. Any oil or dirt in these areas must be removed with a clean degreasing solvent. (A new seal is packaged and
shipped clean of oil and dirt, and need not be re-cleaned unless is has become contaminated.)

4. Seals for split seal assembly may be shipped with their lapped sealing faces (interface) lightly pre-Iubed for installation under
clean environmental conditions. If the seal has not been pre-Iubed or has become contaminated, the lapped face must be wiped clean and a few
drops of light oil applied as a pre-Iube.

5. Seal installation.
(a) Remove oil and dirt from the seal bores using a clean degreasing solvent.

(b) If the seal was shipped with a clear plastic retainer band, remove retainer band .

(c) Install one-half of the seal all the way into one bore, being careful not to get oil Oil dirt on the O-D. of the rubber member
or dislodge it from its metal sealing ring. (See drawing installation, Step 1.) Repeat the other half of the seal assembly
into the other bore. Note that the barbs 1hOld the seal halves concentrically in the bores.

(d) Follow pre-Iube note in Step 4.

(e) When the installation is complete (wheel hub to brake), rotate the wheel hub 3 complete revolutions to seat the seal
faces.

NOTE: It is recommended that a 15 minute breakin period be conducted at no more than 25 RPM wheel speed which is 5 MPH max and 1st gear
operation only to allow the seal rubbers and metal rings to properly seat.

16011841 AXLE SERIES
DRIVE AXLE WHEEL BEARING ADJUSTMENT PROCEDURE
!Single Wheel Bearing Adjusting Nut and Lock Plate)

1. Before wheel bearing adjustment is made, it is imperative all tapered bearing cones and cups be pressed to fully seated position.
DO NOT depend on the wheel bearing adjusting nut to "shoulder" tapered bearing cups and cones. NOTE: If the wheel bearing
adjusting nut has an undercut on the inner diameter, the undercut must go toward the internal gear hub. On axles with LCB
brakes, release pressure before continuing (any brake drag will affect obtaining correct rolling torque value).

2. Coat inner face of nut and spindle threads and spindle splines with brush-applied lubricant. (Anti
Seize or Never-Seez).

3. Install spindle nut and tighten to 800 Ibs. ft. [1085 N .m] torque. Shock internal gear hub with heavy bar while rotating wheel hub 2
to 3 times. Recheck nut torque -if nut moves, retorque to 800 Ibs. ft. [1085 N.m] and repeat shocking and tightening as many
times as necessary until 800 Ibs. ft. [1085 N.m] does not advance nut. Loosen 114 to 112 turn and shock the wheel hub until a
slight bearing end play is achieved and the wheel hub can rotate freely.

4. Using a torque wrench adapter bar or other appropriate measuring device" determine the rolling torque of the wheel end with the
bearings in a no-load end play condition. Due to part imbalance, there will be a variation in rolling torque as the wheel hub is
rotated. Record maximum value of rolling torque throughout a revolution. This value will be the ""no-load rolling torque" (LCB up to
200 Ibs. ft. [271 N.m], others 25 to 100 Ibs. ft. [34 -135 N.m]).

5. For field service, torque nut to 400 Ibs. ft. [542 N.m]. Shock internal gear hub with heavy bar while rotating wheel hub 2 to 3 times
while shocking wheel. Re-check not torque -if nut moves" re-torque to 400 Ibs. ft. 1542 N.m] and repeat shocking and tightening
as many times as necessary until 400 Ibs. ft. [542 N.m] does not advance nut. Then advance nut until 3 holes in lock plate line up
with tapped holes in internal gear hub.

6. Check rolling torque -must be in the specified range as shown on adjustment chart over no-load rolling torque.

7. If over the maximum preload, reduce nut torque as required to obtain the specified range but not less than 300 Ibs. ft. [406 N .m ]
on nut.

8. If under the minimum preload, increase nut torque until preload is in the specified rolling torque range with lock plate holes aligned,
but not more than 900 Ibs. ft. [1220 N.m] after rotating the wheel hub 5 or more times..

9. Install lock plate and screws*, tighten screws 20 to 25 Ibs. ft. [27 33 N.m]. (See page 61.)

Greater than no-load rolling torque

*NOTE: Lock plate screws are of a self locking type (orange) locking compound on threads. Use only one time, then replace or
thoroughly clean used screws and apply either Loctite 262 (hi strength) or Loctite 242 (medium strength). Internal gear hub
threads must also be cleaned when replacing screws.

Page 1 of 5
IV. FIRE AND EXPLOSION HAZARD DATA (CONTINUED)
Unusual Fire and Explosion Hazards: In operation, batteries generate and release flammable hydrogen gas. They must always be
assumed to contain this gas which, if ignited by burning cigarette, naked flame or spark, may cause battery explosion with dispersion of
casing fragments and corrosive liquid electrolyte. Carefully follow manufacturer's instructions for installation and service. Keep away all
sources of gas ignition and do not allow metallic articles to simultaneously contact the negative and positive terminals of a battery.

V. REACTIVITY DATA
Stability: Stable X
Unstable

Conditions to Avoid: Prolonged overcharge at high current; sources of ignition.

Incompatibility: (materials to avoid)


Electrolyte: Contact with combustibles and organic materials may cause fire and explosion. Also reacts violently with strong
reducing agents, metals, sulfur trioxide gas, strong oxidizers, and water. Contact with metals may produce toxic sulfur dioxide
fumes and may release flammable hydrogen gas.

Lead compounds: Avoid contact with strong acids, bases, halides, halogenates, potassium nitrate, permanganate, peroxides,
nascent hydrogen, and reducing agents.

Hazardous Decomposition Products:


Electrolyte: Sulfur trioxide, carbon monoxide, sulfuric acid mist, sulfur dioxide, hydrogen sulfide.

Lead compounds: Temperatures above the melting point are likely to produce toxic metal fume, vapor, or dust; contact with
strong acid or base or presence of nascent hydrogen may generate highly toxic arsine gas.

VI. HEALTH HAZARD DATA


Routes of Entry:
Electrolyte: Harmful by all routes of entry.

Lead compounds: Hazardous exposure can occur only when product is heated above the melting point, oxidized or otherwise
processed or damaged to create dust, vapor, or fume.

Inhalation:
Electrolyte: Breathing of sulfuric acid vapors or mists may cause severe respiratory irritation.

Lead compounds: Inhalation of lead dust or fumes may cause irritation of upper respiratory tract and lungs.

Ingestion:
Electrolyte: May cause severe irritation of mouth, throat, esophagus, and stomach.
Lead compounds: Acute ingestion may cause abdominal pain, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, and severe cramping. This may lead
rapidly to systemic toxicity.

Skin Contact:
Electrolyte: Severe irritation, burns, and ulceration.
Lead compounds: Not absorbed through the skin.

Eye Contact:
Electrolyte: Severe irritation, burns, cornea damage, blindness.
Lead compounds: May cause eye irritation.

Effects of Overexposure - Acute:


Electrolyte: Severe skin irritation, damage to cornea may cause blindness, upper respiratory irritation.
Lead compounds: Symptoms of toxicity include headache, fatigue, abdominal pain, loss of appetite, muscular aches and
weakness, sleep disturbances, and irritability.

Effects of Overexposure - Chronic:


Electrolyte: Possible erosion of tooth enamel; inflammation of nose, throat, and bronchial tubes.

Page 2 of 5
VI. HEALTH HAZARD DATA (CONTINUED)

Lead compounds: Anemia; neuropathy, particularly of the motor nerves, with wrist drop; kidney damage; reproductive changes
in both males and females.

Carcinogenicity:
Electrolyte: The National Toxicology Program (NTP) and the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) have
classified "strong inorganic acid mist containing sulfuric acid" as a substance that is carcinogenic to humans. This classification
does not apply to sulfuric acid solutions in static liquid state or to electrolyte in batteries. Batteries subjected to abusive charging
at excessively high currents for prolonged periods of time without vent caps in place may create a surrounding atmosphere of the
offensive strong inorganic acid mist containing sulfuric acid.
Lead compounds: Listed as a 2B carcinogen, likely in animals at extreme doses. Proof of carcinogenicity in humans is lacking
at present.
Arsenic: Listed by International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC), OSHA and NIOSH as a carcinogen only after
prolonged exposure at high levels.

Medical Conditions Generally Aggravated by Exposure:


Overexposure to sulfuric acid mist may cause lung damage and aggravate pulmonary conditions. Contact of electrolyte (water
and sulfuric acid solution) with skin may aggravate skin diseases such as eczema and contact dermatitis. Contact of electrolyte
(water and sulfuric acid solution) with eyes may damage cornea and/or cause blindness. Lead and its compounds can aggravate
some forms of kidney, liver, and neurologic diseases.

Emergency and First Aid Procedures


Inhalation: Electrolyte: Remove to fresh air immediately. If breathing is difficult, give oxygen.
Lead compounds: Remove from exposure, gargle, wash nose and lips; consult physician.

Ingestion: Electrolyte: Give large quantities of water; do not induce vomiting; consult physician.
Lead compounds: Consult physician immediately.

Skin: Electrolyte: Flush with large amounts of water for at least 15 minutes; remove contaminated clothing completely, including
shoes.
Lead compounds: Wash immediately with soap and water.

Eyes: Electrolyte and Lead compounds: Flush immediately with large amounts of water for at least 15 minutes; consult physician
immediately.
VII. PRECAUTIONS FOR SAFE HANDLING AND USE
Handling and Storage:
Store batteries under roof in cool, dry, well-ventilated areas that are separated from incompatible materials and from activities
that may create flames, spark, or heat. Store on smooth, impervious surfaces that are provided with measures for liquid
containment in the event of electrolyte spills. Keep away from metallic objects that could bridge the terminals on a battery and
create a dangerous short-circuit. Handle carefully and avoid tipping, which may allow electrolyte leakage. Single batteries pose
no risk of electric shock but there may be increasing risk of electric shock from strings of connected batteries exceeding three
12-volt units.
Charging:
There is a possible risk of electric shock from charging equipment and from strings of series connected batteries, whether or not
being charged. Shut-off power to chargers whenever not in use and before detachment of any circuit connections. Batteries
being charged will generate and release flammable hydrogen gas. Charging space should be ventilated. Keep battery vent caps
in position. Prohibit smoking and avoid creation of flames and sparks nearby. Wear face and eye protection when near batteries
being charged.
Spill or Leak Procedures:
Stop flow of material, contain/absorb small spills with dry sand, earth, and vermiculite. Do not use combustible materials. If
possible, carefully neutralize spilled electrolyte with soda ash, sodium bicarbonate, lime, etc. Wear acid-resistant clothing,
boots, gloves, and face shield. Do not allow discharge of un-neutralized acid to sewer. Neutralized acid must be managed in
accordance with approved local, state, and federal requirements. Consult state environmental agency and/or federal EPA.

Waste Disposal Methods:


Spent batteries: Send to secondary lead smelter for recycling.

Page 3 of 5
VII. PRECAUTIONS FOR SAFE HANDLING AND USE (CONTINUED)
Electrolyte: Place neutralized slurry into sealed acid resistant containers and dispose of as hazardous waste, as applicable. Large
water diluted spills, after neutralization and testing, should be managed in accordance with approved local, state,
and federal requirements. Consult state environmental agency and/or federal EPA.
Precautionary Labeling:
POISON - CAUSES SEVERE BURNS CORROSIVE - CONTAINS SULFURIC ACID
DANGER - EXPLOSIVE GASES KEEP AWAY FROM CHILDREN
VIII. CONTROL MEASURES

Engineering Controls and Work Practices:


Store and handle in well-ventilated area. If mechanical ventilation is used, components must be acid-resistant.
Handle batteries cautiously, do not tip to avoid spills. Make certain vent caps are on securely. If battery case is damaged, avoid
bodily contact with internal components. Wear protective clothing, eye and face protection, when filling, charging, or handling
batteries.
Respiratory Protection:
None required under normal conditions. When concentrations of sulfuric acid mist are known to exceed PEL, use NIOSH or
MSHA-approved respiratory protection.
Protective gloves:
Rubber or plastic acid-resistant gloves with elbow-length gauntlet.
Eye Protection:
Chemical goggles or face shield.
Other Protection:
Acid-resistant apron. Under severe exposure or emergency conditions, wear acid-resistant clothing, gloves, and boots.
Emergency Flushing:
In areas where water and sulfuric acid solutions are handled in concentrations greater than 1%, emergency eyewash stations and
showers should be provided, with unlimited water supply.

• Over Servicing.
New filters increase in dust cleaning efficiency
as dust builds up on the media. Don’t be fooled
by filter appearance! A used filter should look dirty.
By using proper filter measurement tools, you will
use the full life of the filter at maximum efficiency.

• Improper Servicing.
Your engine is vulnerable to abrasive dust
contaminants during the servicing process.
The most common cause of engine damage is improper
servicing procedures.

By following the steps listed


in this section,
you can avoid unnecessary
risk to the engine.

Air Filter Cleaning
General Maintenance & Service

Donaldson recommends...

...servicing air filters by monitoring the airflow restriction levels


in the intake system.

Some vehicle owners and maintenance supervisors,


concerned with lowering their operating costs, clean
and reuse their heavy-duty air filter.

Factors to consider before you decide


whether cleaning or washing of air filters is
appropriate for your vehicle or fleet:

• Heavy-duty air filter manufacturers do not recom-


mend any type of cleaning process be used on their
products.
Donaldson, like other heavy-duty air filter
manufacturers, does not warrant the air filter once
it has been cleaned.

• Damaged filters should not be cleaned or reused. If the filter is damaged in service, investigate the
source of damage and make corrections to avoid future damage.

• Never attempt to clean a safety element. Replace it after three main element services.

• Rather than cleaning or reusing filters, consider upgrading to an extended service filter and service the
filter by restriction indicators. Donaldson recommends, when the specified maximum service limits are
reached, to follow the proper service procedures and replace the used filter with a new Donaldson filter.
Dispose of the used filter in a responsible manner.

Filter dirt holding capacity is reduced 20-40% with each cleaning.


There is a risk of dirt reaching the clean side of the filter while cleaning, plus possible filter damage from
high pressure water or compressed air, makes cleaning or washing a gamble. Add the cost of cleaning to
the danger of filter damage when determining the risk versus the value of filter cleaning process.

Reuse of cleaned heavy duty filters increases the likelihood of improper air cleaner servicing because of
the shortened service life. Each time the air intake system is serviced, it is exposed to the possibility of
contamination.

ACTUATION GAS CARTRIDGE


The Actuation Gas Cartridge, either an LT-10-R or LT-10-L, is
used in the LT-A-101-125/250 remote actuators, either manual or
automatic. The cartridge is a sealed pressure vessel containing
nitrogen gas under pressure. When the pin in the remote manual
or pneumatic actuator punctures the cartridge seal, the gas flows
to the actuator on the expellant gas cartridge, causing that actua-
tor to puncture the seal in the expellant gas cartridge. The actua-
tion gas cartridge meets the requirements of DOT 3E-1800.
Additional cartridge shipping assemblies are available to meet
Transport Canada (TC) approval. They are listed below. See

where fire can propagate to, due to the design of the vehicle and
the nature of the burning liquids. Because oxygen is always pre-
sent, identifying fuel and heat sources is most critical.
Large excavators must be considered special type hazards. Some
may require twin-agent protection. See the Appendix Section for
design information or contact Ansul Application Engineering
Department.
Operator safety is also a concern when designing a fire suppres-
sion system. The operator must have enough time to safely exit
off the vehicle. In some situations, an extended discharge dry
chemical system may offer the operator the additional time he
needs to get away from the burning vehicle. Consider egress time
when designing the final system.
Some common fuel sources in vehicles include flammable liquids
and greases, rubber, plastics, upholstery, and environmental
debris such as wood chips or coal dust.
Common vehicle heat sources are engine blocks, exhaust sys-
tems, pumps, and turbochargers, as well as bearings, gears,
brakes, and electrical equipment. A potential hazard exists when
a fuel comes in contact with any heat source.
Where there is dripping or leaking fuel, the hazard can become
even more dangerous than initially considered. Consulting with
experienced operators or owners of similar equipment can help to
identify locations of previous fires and special hazards not nor-
mally considered as common hazards.

This manual is intended for use with the CHECKFIRE® SC-N
Electric Detection and Actuation System.
Those who install, operate, inspect, or maintain this system
should read this entire manual. Specific sections will be of par-
ticular interest depending upon one’s responsibilities.
As with all electro-mechanical equipment, the electric detection
and actuation system needs periodic care to provide maximum
assurance that it will operate effectively and safely. Inspection fre-
quency should be based on the requirements of the equipment on
which the system is installed and the environment in which the
equipment will operate. On equipment working 24 hours/day,
seven days/week, maintenance should be performed on the
detection and actuation system at 250, 500, and 1000-hour inter-
vals. On equipment that does not work continuously, maintenance
should be performed at least every six months.
The application and use of the CHECKFIRE SC-N system is lim-
ited to the application and uses described in this manual. For
other applications, contact your local Ansul distributor or the Ansul
technical representative in your area.

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
For the protection of personnel and equipment being installed, this
manual contains WARNING and CAUTION statements which are
listed in the steps which they apply. These warnings and cautions
are also listed here so that the manual user can become familiar
with them before performing any procedures.

! WARNING

In case of fire, evacuate area to lessen the risk of injury from


flames, heat, hazardous vapors, explosions, or other hazards
that may be created.

! WARNING

The squib is an explosive device. Do not attach connector until


squib is installed in actuator body. If the squib is actuated out-
side of the actuator body, possible personal injury could result.

! CAUTION

Manual pneumatic actuation will result in immediate system


discharge which may obscure vision. Make certain vehicle is
stopped safely before manually actuating the system. Manual
actuation will bypass all auxiliary shutdown and alarm func-
tions.

! CAUTION

The fire suppression system could be accidentally actuated


causing the release of agent if the squib or nitrogen cartridge
is installed before the appropriate installation step is reached.

! CAUTION

The control module could be damaged and the fire suppres-


sion system may not operate if the squib spring (shunt) is not
removed before installing the squib connector.

! CAUTION

The fire suppression system will discharge dry chemical if the


cartridge is installed when operating the strike button. Do not
install cartridge unless puncture pin is fully retracted with ring
pin inserted and visual inspection seal installed.

! CAUTION

Discharged lithium batteries may contain significant amounts


of unused energy and should be handled with care. Do not
compact for disposal. Before disposal, each battery must be
fully discharged and electrically isolated by enclosing in a plas-
tic bag and sealing the bag. Do not dispose of in fire. Check
applicable solid waste disposal regulations for proper disposal
of more than one battery.

SQUIB
The squib assembly, Part No. 54919, is an electrically-actuated
component containing a small charge of powder. When the circuit
is closed to the squib, a small internal wiring bridge heats up,
causing ignition of the squib. This generates pressure, which
forces the puncture pin of the actuator through the seal in the
nitrogen cartridge. See Figure 9.

PRESSURE SWITCH – Weatherproof CHECK VALVE


The 1/4 in. check valve, Part No. 25627, is installed in the actua-
tion line between the manual/automatic actuator and the pneu-
matic actuator on the connected fire suppression system. This
check valve allows actuation pressure to flow to the fire suppres-
sion system, but does not allow pressure from other actuation
devices to back up into the manual/automatic actuator of the
CHECKFIRE SC-N system. See Figure 14.
Other actuation devices in the fire suppression system also
require check valves to be installed in the same fashion. This pre-
vents pressure from escaping through an actuator whose car-
tridge was inadvertently removed.

REMOTE HIGH LEVEL ALARM


The remote high level alarm, Part No. 79559, is intended for those
installations where the noise level or operating conditions may
prevent the operator from recognizing the control module alarm
condition. This device is connected through the alarm relay of the
control module to a separately fused power source. It is capable
of 102 decibels at 6 to 30 volts, 0.3 amp maximum at a tempera-
ture range of –40 °F to 170 °F (–40 °C to 76.7 °C). See Figure 15.

RELEASE CIRCUIT TEST MODULE


The release circuit test module, Part No. 423541, is used in place of
the squib during test procedures to simulate squib actuation or gas

3. Do not install the wire within 12 in. (30 cm) of a temperature
source of 356 °F (180 °C) or greater (engine block, exhaust
manifold, turbochargers, brake grids, etc.).
4. Avoid routing detection wire directly across an opening.
Where possible, install detection wire above the hazard area
or around the perimeter of a hazard compartment to react to
escaping heat. Do not allow struts, frame members, etc. to act
as heat shields between the hazard and the detection wire.
5. Avoid areas where the detection wire may be damaged, such
as outside the vehicle, near moving parts, in areas where
debris may be thrown by wheels, or in the way of maintenance
personnel.
6. To reduce its accessibility to damage, use only as much
detection wire as is necessary to cover the hazard area.

Thermal Detector Selection and Placement


Thermal detectors are used when single point detection is
required. They are selected by temperature range relative to the
hazard temperature. The table below indicates the thermal detec-
tor rated operating temperature required according to the maxi-
mum hazard temperature.
Maximum
Rated Continuous
Operating Use
Temperature Temperature Detector
°F (°C) °F (°C) Color Part No.
270 (132) 234 (112) Blue 416218
325 (163) 280 (137) Red 416219
360 (182) 312 (155) Red 416220
The placement of thermal detectors should be based on the fol-
lowing requirements:
1. They can be wired directly to the control module using
approved cable. Cable must have a temperature rating of
392 °F (220 °C) minimum, 16-18 gauge, two conductor with
drain, with an O.D. of 0.13 in. to 0.25 in. (0.3 to 0.6 cm). Again,
placement of the detectors should allow for incoming and out-
going wire connections. At the end of the detection circuit, an
end of line resistor assembly, Part No. 426461, must be
installed.
2. Secure the detector with the provided bracket and clamps.

Pressure Switch
Mount pressure switch in a location which is not subject to dam-
age. Switch must be mounted in an area in which it can be easily
reset after system actuation. See Section I, Components, for elec-
trical rating of switch contacts. When running the actuation hose
to the switch, make certain hose does not run through any areas
which could cause damage to the hose. Make certain hose is
securely supported and not subjected to vibration.

INSTALLATION
Before installing the detection and actuation system, the System
Planning portion of this manual should have been reviewed for
particular application resulting in a system layout sketch. Always
read the procedure before installing each component to become
familiar with the correct installation steps as they apply to the par-
ticular application and sketch.
NOTICE
For ease of installation, the fire suppression
system should be installed before the detection
and actuation system.

TORO Automatic Central Lubrication
The TORO automatic central lubrication system has been developed
expressly for reliable Operation in the demanding conditions of mining.
This system minimizes both daily and shift maintenance jobs as it carries
out most of the required lubrication work automatically.

The system, however, requires appropriate service and maintenance. This


leaflet gives full information about operation of the system as well as details
about system components.

1. Operation of the system
The system operation is controlled by an electronic control relay. The pump
unit of the system is driven by pressurized oil.

Lubrication begins when electric current from the control relay opens
control valve, which provides oil pressure to drive the pump so that it
performs a work stroke and lubricant pressure rises in line # 1.

As the pressure rises in the line, the grease dose units begin to operate, and
half of the lubrication points in the system receive lubricant. Each dose unit
will feed a precise amount of lubricant to the lubrication points at the full
pressure developed by the pump, even if the pressure resistance at the
lubrication points varies. The pressure in line # 1 then falls and after a
preset time, the control valve will close. The pump performs another work
stroke in the opposite direction and the pressure in line # 2 begins to rise.
The other half of the lubrication points in the system then receives
lubricant. The pressure in line # 2 falls and after another preset period of
time the lubrication cycle is interrupted. A new lubrication cycle occurs and
the sequence is repeated.
MODEL All TOROs
PAGE O 2.1
DATE 8/92
2. Grease dose unit
#

The pressurized lubricant is first led from the pump unit to input
opening (A) of the dose unit. From here it first forces distribution valve (1)
to the left, and then flows on to the right hand side of dose piston (2) and in
turn forces it into the left hand position.

The lubricant from previous stroke flows from the left hand side of the dose
piston through a non-return valve via opening (D) to the lubrication point.

During the other lubrication cycle, input B of the dose unit becomes
pressurized. Now the fresh lubricant entering the doser moves the
distribution valve to the right and pressurizes the left hand side of the dose
piston to force it into the right hand position.

The lubricant from the previous stroke, which has been stored here, then
flows from the right hand side of the dose piston through another non-return
valve via opening (C) to the lubrication point.

At the same time the dose piston moves, it is possible to monitor the
movement of the piston from the outside of the dose unit by an indicator pin
which is connected to the piston. Movement of this pin may be used to
check that the dose unit is in proper working order.

Adjustment of the actual dose for each dose unit is carried out separately by
means of hexagonal head screw (3) that changes the stroke lenght of the
input piston. Adjustment must be carried out when the dose piston is in the
left hand position i.e. input A is pressurized.

3.2 Operation
Refer to chapter 1 for basic operation of system.

When the lubrication cycle begins, hydraulic oil is directed through a


magnetic valve to the piston side of the hydraulic cylinder (6).

Piston rod (14) connects the cylinder to pumps piston (15). Lubricant from
the left side of piston is forced out to line # 1. On its way out the lubricant
moves shuttle valves (8) spool to such a position that connection from the
right hand side of piston to line # 2 is blocked. At the same time a vacuum
on the right side (created by the piston moving to left) together with
pressure acting on top of the feed piston will force fresh lubricant from the
container to the pump through a one-way valve (E-E).

A set amount of lubricant is required for the lubrication cycle and after dose
units have performed their full stroke, the rest of the lubricant is returned to
the container. This is achieved by a controlled flow, by-passing the shuttle
valves spool to reach return hole (16).

By-passing is controlled with a specified tolerance between the spool and


the valve body.

Hydraulic pressure is directed to the piston rod side of the cylinder. Another
lubrication cycle begins. The line lubricant is forced to line # 2. All other
functions remain the same as in the previous cycle except that the refilling
of the pump is done through a one-way valve (D).

When the lubricant container becomes empty, the feed piston pushes the
indicator pin (C-C) down. The pin activates limit switch (10) and operation
of the system is interrupted. A visual signal (red light) is then given to the
operator. The container is refilled by pumping grease through nipple (12)
and high pressure filter (11). When the container is full, an excessive
amount of lubricant will flow out through valve (9).
MODEL All TOROs
PAGE O 4.1
DATE 8/92
4. Electronic control relay
The different operating cycles are controlled by electronic time relay with
blinker function. The system has one or two yellow indicator lights on the
instrument panel showing the functioning of the lubrication system. There
is also one red indicator light which lights up if lubricant container becomes
empty.

One of the lubrication lines is always pressurized because the time relay has
a symmetrical on-off function. The time can be adjusted from 0,1 s to 10 h.
Basic time area is selected by DIP-switches and the exact time by turning
the adjusting screw. With the adjusting screw the time can be adjusted from
10...100 % of the basic time.

Factory setting of the relay is 10 minutes. The electronic time relay controls
magnetic valve causing pressurized oil to flow to the hydraulic cylinder of
the pump unit.

5.1 Filling the lubricant container

The lubricant container is filled through the filling nipple in the high-
pressure filter housing.

Filling is complete when excess lubricant runs out through the container
safety valve.

When the lubricant container is full the feed piston will rise to the
uppermost position. Any possible air that may be trapped in the lubricant
container can be removed as follows:

- remove the access plug in the cover of container


- open the air bleed screw in the feed piston about three turns and
- continue filling until lubricant coming through the hole in the bleed
screw is completely free of air
- after this, close the air bleed screw and replace the plug.

During the filling operation it is not necessary to vent the container as


described above if you are certain that there is no air in the container and
that none has been let in during filling.

PAGE O 5.2

5.2 Main pipe lines

To bleed the main pipes, the following actions must be taken:

- remove the most distant plugs from the base plates of dose units -run the
pump until the air
- free lubricant comes from the line ends and close the plugs.

The operation is complete when air-free lubricant comes from all line ends.
Whenever the lubricant container becomes empty during bleeding, fill the
container as in item 5.1.

5.3 Lines from dosers to lubrication points

When the lubrication lines are long or if there is a great difference in their
lengths, they should be filled before installation using a grease gun.

Any dirt in the lubricant may cause operational faults in the dose units or
damage to the bearings. The entry of dirt into the system is prevented by the
high pressure filter in the pump unit.

The filter should be cleaned at least twice a year. Any obstruction in the
filter will cause an increase in the filling time. After cleaning, the filter
housing must be filed with grease prior to assembly.

In such circumstances that the feed pipes from the dose units to the
lubrication points are in an unprotected position, where they may be easily
damaged, they should be checked after every shift to ensure that lubricant
reaches the lubrication points.

After the system has been in use for a couple of weeks, all lubrication points
should be checked.

If required, the dose units may be adjusted to give a greater or lesser amount
of lubricant. This adjustment can be performed over a period of weeks or
months so that finally a suitable dose can be found for each bearing
according to its individual conditions.

7. Lubricant
At normal interior temperatures, all standard lubricants and greases, with
penetration 265/295 (NLGI 2) and dropping point 180°C, may be used in
the system.

Whenever using grease, thicker than NLGI No. 2, we ask you to contact
ARA OY/Service or the local TORO representative to see if it is suitable for
the system.

LUBRICATING PIPES

The operation of SGH-50 system is steered by electrically functioning steering centre. The
pump unit of the system receives its driving power from hydraulics. At the beginning of a
lubricating cycle the electrical current coming from the steering centre opens the steering
valve 1, whereat the hydraulics pump performs a working stroke and the pressure of the
lubricant in line 1 increases. When the pressure still is rising, the dosing modules work and one
half of the lubrication points of the system get lubricated. The dosing modules feed with full
pressure generated by the pump an exact, predetermined amount of lubricant to every
lubrication point, notwithstanding different counter pressures. If the pressure does not rise
higher than the adjusting value of the pressure switch in the end of the main pipe, the steering
centre switses on alarm. After a predetermined time the steering valve 1 closes and the
pressure in line 1 sinks. After a brake adjusted from the steering centre, the steering valve
2 opens, the pump performs a working stroke and pressure in line 2 rises.
SAFEMATIC OY SAFEMOBE
SGH - 50

ADJUSTMENT OF SGH - 50 SYSTEM

The pressurizing time of the pump shall be adjusted 1O-5O per cent longer than is required
from the start of the pump to the moment that an impuls is given. Check that even the most
extreme lubrication points of the system get lubricated. (Usually a pressurizing time of 3
minutes is adequate).

The steering centre switches on the alarm circuit, if

- the main pipe is leaking


- the lubricant is exhausted in the barrel
- there is air in the pump
- the income of pressurized air has finished or diminished to be inadequate.

The lubrication interval is so adjusted that the bearings that need most often lubrication
absolutely get their adequate lubricant amount. For those bearings which need lubrication more
seldom will analogously be chosen so small dosis range that no harmful over-dosing can take
place. (The most common lubrication intervals are from 0,5 to 3 h).
The operating pressure of a hydraulic pump can variate from 9 to 23 bar, which corresponds to
a lubricant pressure of 88-220 bar in the main lines 1 and 2.

INTRODUCTION OF SGH - 50 SYSTEM

FILLING OF THE LUBRICANT BARREL

The lubricant barrel is filled through a filling nipple at the high-pressure filter housing. The barrel
is full when extra lubricant is leaking from the safety valve of the lubricant barrel.

When the lubricant barrel is full the follower plate is in its upper position. Now the possible air in
the lubricant barrel can be removed as follows: The hexagonal plug in the cover of the lubricant
barrel will be opened. The deaerating screw in the follower plate shall be opened for about three
turns and the filling of the barrel shall be continued as long as fully airless lubricant comes out of
the hole in the deaerating screw. After that the deaerating screw shall be closed. The hexagonal
plug shall be screwed down. During the following fillings the lubricant barrel needs not to be
deaerated, if it is certain that there is no air in the barrel and it has not got in there during the
filling.

DEAERATING OF THE PUMP SGH - 50

If there is air in the pump, the pressure of the lubricant in the main piping of the system may not
increase high enough.
The pump must be deaerated as follows: The steering centre is adjusted to shorter pressurizing
time and the pump is operated with the "Extra lubrication" switch.
Deaerating screws in the housing of the non-return valve are opened for about three turns. The
pump is allowed to work as long as fully airless lubricant comes out of the holes in the
deaerating screws during the pressurizing period of both lines. After that the deaerating screws
are screwed down and the adjustments of the steering centre are returned to normal.
SAFEMATIC OY SAFEMOBE
SGH - 50

MAIN PIPING

When filling, or afterwards deaerating the piping, following measures must be taken into
account. All closing plugs of the dosing modules and pipe branches must be removed. The
pump is operated as long as fully airless lubricant comes out of the closing plugs nearest to the
pump and the plugs involved are fastened. Above-mentioned measures are repeated until fully
airless lubricant comes out of the openings. If the lubricant runs out of the barrel during filling,
the filling shall be performed according to paragraph 6.1.

LUBRICATING PIPES

If the lubricating pipes are long or if the length differences are great, there is reason to fill the
pipes in advance by means of a hand press.

CLEANNESS

When the system is being installed, adjusted or maintained, absolute cleanness must be
obeyed. If in doubt impurities have gone into the main or lubricating piping, lubricant has to be
pumped through the piping until the impurities come out of the main piping. During this action
the closing plugs and the couplings have to be loosened. If there are plenty of impurities in the
pipings they must be rinsed.

CONTROL AND MAINTENANCE OF SGH - 50 SYSTEM

Impurities in lubricant may cause operational disturbances in dosing modules or damage


bearings. In order to prevent impurities from coming into the system, the SGH 50 pump unit is
provided with a high-pressure filter, which has to be cleaned every six months.

If the feed pipes from the dosing modules to the lubrication points are in unsheltered places,
where they can be easily damaged, it is due to check at certain intervals that the lubricating
pipes are undamaged and that the lubricant reaches the lubrication points.

After the system has been in function for some weeks it is worth to check every lubrication
point. If necessary, the lubrication dosis can be lessened or increased by turning the hexagonal
screw.

The adjustment can be performed during some weeks or months to find the exactly right
lubricant amount for every bearing.

LUBRICANT

Safematic SGH - 50 system can be used in inside as well as in outside temperatures and all
usual lubrication oils and greases can be used in it. If thicker grease than NLGI Class 2 is
preferred, please contact oy Safematic Ltd to ensure that the lubricant is suitable for the
system.

Due to the Safematic dosing modules being fully forced operating, i.e. the dosing pistons move
to and fro with the full pressure generated by the pump, the system can be operated also in cold
weather, subject to the concerned lubricant being pump able in the concerned temperature.
Please contact Safematic Oy to ensure the suitability of the grease.

DOSER GROUPS

DOSER GROUPS

1 GENERAL DESCRIPTION

Note Numbers in brackets are part numbers in the drawing 461503.

A doser group consists of a base plate (pos. 1) and one or several dosers installed onto the base
plate (pos. 2). The base plate divides the lubricant to the dosers, which feed the preset amount of
lubricant to the lubrication points.

2 DESIGN

The doser includes a dosage cylinder (pos. 4) which is equipped with double sealed
piston (pos. 3) and a pilot valve for each doser (pos. 5). The movement of the piston valve is
adjusted with the adjusting screw (pos. 6). Indicator (pos. 7) shows the doser operation.

Since the lubrication outlet connections are equipped with check valves (pos. 8), the design of
the dosers makes it possible to feed small amounts of lubricant from the dosers.

3 OPERATION

3.1 Dosers with two outlets

During normal sequential operation, dosers with two outlets feed lubricant to opposite sides of
the outlet connections.

The pressure in the line increases during pressurization and the doser pilot valve moves to its
extreme position, whereupon the lubricant moves the piston. When the piston moves, it pushes
the lubricant through the base plate check valve to the lubrication pipe or lubrication hose and
further to the lubrication point.

When the pumping starts again, the directional valve directs the lubricant to another main line
whereupon the doser pilot valve directs the lubricant to the opposite side of the piston. When the
piston moves, it pushes the lubricant through the base plate check valve and further to the
lubrication point.

3.2 Dosers with one outlet

During normal sequential operation, dosers with one outlet always feed lubricant to the same
outlet connection.
The design of the doser with one outlet is different from the design of the doser with two outlets
only by the design of the pilot valve, which makes it possible to choose the outlet connection
from the base plate. The unnecessary outlet on the base plate must be plugged. The operation of
the doser with one outlet is similar to the operation of doser with two outlets.

3.3 The unfastening and fastening of the doser

Warning When changing the dosers, make sure that there is no pressure in the system.

Caution If the doser screws are tightened too tightly, the operation of the doser
might be prevented. The maximum tightening torque is 8 Nm.

Caution When changing the doser, make sure that the type marking on the doser
and the number of outlets are identical. The last number on the doser type
shows / equals the number of outlets.

4 ADJUSTMENT

4.1 General

The lubricant dosage is adjusted by changing the movement of the piston with the adjusting
screw.

4.2 Doser adjustments

Move the adjustment screw with an allen key to perform the adjustment of the SGA-dosers.

SG-dosers are adjusted with an allen screw, which is located inside of a metal cover. The other
end of the allen screw is located in the dosage cylinder, so the adjustment affects direct to the
piston.

During both pressurizations of the lubrication cycle the doser with one outlet always feeds the
lubricant to the same lubrication point. The doser with two outlets alternately feeds the lubricant
to two different lubrication points. This has been taken into account in the adjustment graphs.

Table 1. The drawing numbers of the adjustment graphs.

3.2 System testing


The condition of the system must be taken seriously because malfunction of the
system might cause the brakes to release abruptly with severe consequences. If
anything looks suspicious call a service person.

On every 250 hours of operation, the function of the emergency radio system
must be tested as follows:
• While sitting in the cabin, machine on level, safe ground, start the engine (or
motor). Let the engine (or motor) run until the brake pressure has reached to a
certain limit. Do not release the brakes.

• Turn the remote control switch, located in the instrument panel, to the position 2
(remote mode). If the engine (motor) stops now, continue by pushing
transmitter’s button 2 as explained later.
Emergency Radio
IRC T60
23.10.2009

• By pushing the transmitter’s button 1, the engine (motor) should stop.

• Push and release repeatedly transmitter’s button 2, until the park brake and
service brake indicator lights stay on and addition to this, the low accumulator
pressure light lits.

• Push transmitter’s button 3 to start brake release pump, until all above mentioned
indicator lights go off and brakes are released.

• If the system works as described above then the system functions correctly.

• Turn the remote control switch back to the manual mode position 1.

• After testing the system, transmitter must be stored in a safe place outside the
machine, notably not in the operators cabin, so it is available if emergency
situation occurs.

Note! Ensure the transmitter batteries are kept in good condition for
disturbance- free operations.

NOTE! Maintain emergency radio receiver box free of moisture. Condensation


build up may cause the brakes to release by causing a short- circuit in
a key component in the receiver.

Note! The system and its components must be inspected and always
maintained. Ensure all components are
undamaged and functioning properly. Malfunction of the
system might cause the brakes to release without warning hereby
causing death or serious personal injury.

NOTE! Ensure there are no other emergency radio systems in use on


the same site and operating under the same frequency code.

NOTE! Do not leave the loader energised in the remote mode (the remote
control switch must be in the manual position 1) when not in use.

total bucket concept
Sandvik’s integrated bucket solutions
Sandvik introduces its total bucket concept for underground
LHDs and loaders.
Our integrated bucket ground engaging tool (GET) solutions
guarantee longer bucket life, reduced wear and lower whole-of-
bucket costs.
Sandvik’s “whole-of-bucket” approach to the GET business,
provides bucket wear systems that increase bucket life,
delivering lower overall costs, and reducing costs per tonne of
material in underground mining operations.
In particular the focus has been on developing GET systems
for underground mining operations – where there has been
a lack of R&D investment by existing GET suppliers in
recent years.
While Sandvik’s GET systems are specifically designed to
meet the challenging requirements of hard rock underground
mining operations, they are also ideally suited to some surface
mining applications.
In addition, Sandvik’s GET systems are suited to a wide
range of OEM buckets and loading products – not just
Sandvik LHDs.
Sandvik’s total bucket concept focuses on four key areas of
bucket GET:
1. Cast corners: By adding structural strength as well as high
wear protection to bucket corners, bucket life is significantly
extended. This area of the bucket is prone to cracking and
high wear exposure, limiting the life of the bucket shell –
Sandvik GET systems provide consistent cost-per-tonne
savings by extending the operating cycle of the bucket.
2. Mechanical locking system: The hammerless design of
Sandvik’s mechanical locking system allows easy change
outs of individual shrouds. In addition, it enables easy re-
tensioning of the shroud against the lip – eliminating wear
in this area so that the shrouds can be changed out without
having to change the complete lip. This system increases the
life of the base lip – again significantly reducing costs.
3. Heel shrouds: The use of Sandvik heel shrouds minimises
the exposure of the bottom of the bucket shell during the
loading cycle – further prolonging bucket life, and reducing
costs.
4. Protector strips: Sandvik’s mechanically attached protector
strips with superior hardness offer increased protection for
the underside of the bucket, with short change out time and
no welding required – for increased bucket life, reduced
downtime and lower costs.
5. Cast profile bars: Sandvik’s integrated CPB system offers
additional protection for the primary lip and GET. The
system is weld-on, with excellent wear properties extending
GET life in aggressive ground conditions.

Sandvik GET Series 2 half corner shrouds

Sandvik GET’s half corner shrouds are a simple solution


when replacing worn corner shrouds on bucket edges.
Replacing worn corner shrouds with standard shrouds
disrupts the continuous cutting edge, which can result in:
• Gouging during roadworks
• Catching the corner shroud
• Higher costs.
In contrast, Sandvik GET half corner shrouds maintain
a continuous cutting edge, improving performance and
reducing operating costs.

Corner shrouds usually wear out faster


than straight shrouds.

 surface loader (ROM pad) applications
While originally designed for underground use, Sandvik
GET’s Series 2 lip system is highly suitable for certain surface
applications.
Mine operators have found great success using this system on
wheel loaders working a ROM (run of mine) pad or stockpile Half arrow
where points or teeth are not required. Such ROM pad loaders
have achieved excellent results and significant cost saving by using
Sandvik GET’s Series 2 continuous edge lip system.
The main benefit of this lip system is its longer wearing Heel shrouds

properties and ease of shroud change out.


The adjustable locking system allows the shrouds to be easily
and safely re-tensioned, minimising the destructive lip peening
often experienced with loose fitting shrouds.
This system also incorporates cast corners which add
structural strength as well as higher wear protection to the
bucket corners – extending bucket life significantly.
In ROM pad work, this area of the bucket is typically prone
to cracking and high wear exposure, limiting the life of the
bucket shell.
Sandvik GET’s Series 2 system provides consistent cost per
tonne savings by extending the operating cycle of the bucket.
And in highly abrasive applications, Sandvik GET’s
Series 2 system can be coupled with Sandvik GET heel shrouds
and either a weld-on profile bar or our recently developed

designed to provide maximum penetration while
maximising the amount of available wear material.
With its low profile blade, the Sandvik Half Arrow
system provides excellent penetration, with longer wear life
than a bare lip.
The Sandvik Half Arrow weld-on lip system uses
straight half arrow edges along the length of the lip and in
this configuration is suitable for most digging conditions. Traditional “rounding off” of a standard bucket lip is a major contributor

amount of throwaway material.
This system is ideally suited for continuous edges on all
types of underground loaders.

Main features
• High penetration edges reduce machine related costs
such as fuel and tyre usage
• High strength, high hardness alloy provides high
resistance to wear
• Efficient design ensures maximum available wear
material and minimum throwaway material.
For detailed parts numbers, see page 19.

By installing Sandvik’s Half Arrow weld-on lip system, the overall integrity
of an LHD bucket is kept in peak operating condition for longer –
resulting in higher production and improved penetration over the life of
the bucket.

including the “Half Arrow” and “Heel Shrouds”. The
SS2000 allows for excellent through hardness not found in
traditional rolled steels.

Features
• Profiled to maximise performance
• Dedicated extra corner protection
• Integrated Heel Shroud
• High strength, high hardness alloy with through
hardness provides high resistance to wear
• Cast profiled centre section allows for easy trimming of
the bars (no mitre cuts)
• Available in loose parts or kits

The Cast Profile Bar is available to suit both the Blue Pointer® 2
mechanically attached shroud system and the Half Arrow weld-on
system:
• Cast Profile Bar selection Guide is available from Sandvik Shark
