1 Safety
! NOTE: Always read the information in the Safety Manual before starting to use the
Minetruck or starting maintenance work.
2 Preventive Maintenance
Safe, efficient operation of the vehicle depends on the proper maintenance of the engine,
power train, chassis and all related systems. Regular inspections must be made to see that
all system components are in safe operating condition. Special care must be taken when
making repairs and replacing components. Use only new parts as furnished by Atlas
Copco.
The labelled diagrams shows all maintenance check points. Because of individual mine re-
quirements, some check points on the vehicle may not be located as shown. If so, consult
a supervisor for additional supporting literature.
For further information on fluids and greases, see document "Fluids and greases" included
in the documentation supplied.
All bolts, nuts, screws, and other fasteners must be in place and properly secured. The
torque of major components should be checked periodically as specified in the service
schedules.
WARNING
Before performing any maintenance on the vehicle the Safety Manual must be
read and understood!

nections.
Review Pressurisation
A. Pressurizer
Check the following points to ensure that the cabin is correctly pressurized. There should
only be clean air inside the cabin when the door is closed and the machine is being used.
Minor leakage in the seals lets air out of the cabin and prevents unfiltered air from coming
in.
If any of these points are not in good condition, then report them to the maintenance de-
partment for immediate repair.
1. Make sure that the fan motor for the pressurizer starts when necessary.
2. Check that pressurizer filter pre-cleaner is fitted and undamaged. Replace it if neces-
sary.
3. Check the insert in the filter canister and make sure that it is clean and free of holes.
4. Check the filter canister and ensure that the filter is properly sealed in the canister.
Check that the fan and the engine are sealed against the canister and that there are
no leaks between the filter and the output hose.
5. Inspect the hose and tubes from the filter assembly to the cabin. There must be no
kinks or clamped points on the hose, and no holes in the hose. All connections must
have clamps and be air tight.
6. Check that the air flow to the cabin interior is steady and strong.
8. Check all windows and make sure that the seals are intact.
Check the door and make sure that it is not warped and the seal is fitted firmly all around
(dust tracks on the metal surface indicate that the air is moving in the area and that the
seal is not working).

! ply to plated bolts. Grade 8 identification is 6 radial dashes, 60º apart on head of cap
screw. Bolt thread class to be SAE standard Class 2.
n Check universal joints and support bearings for excessive heat immediately after vehi-
cle is shut down after a work cycle. Excessive heat, more than 38 °C (100 °F) above
ambient temperature is a sign of friction and deteriorating bearings.
n Check the universal joints for wear as follows:
l Grasp the universal joint centre cross (spider) with one gloved hand. With the
other hand, work the drive axle up and down (or back and forth) at 90º to each
of the trunnion axes. Check for looseness (sideways) between the trunnion
and the trunnion cap.
l Check all four trunnions in this manner. If looseness is detected at any of the
trunnions, replace the universal joint as an assembly.
! NOTE: Do not confuse end-to-end play between opposite bearing with excessive wear.

3 Hydraulic System
3.1 Introduction
This chapter presents a summary of hydraulic theory that is applied to specific system ca-
pabilities, and includes instructions for the removal and replacement of major components.
Hydraulic fluid provides system pressure for steering, braking, dumping, and cooling, and
lubricate close-tolerance mechanisms. The primary purpose of the hydraulic system is to
transmit power from the engine to the various working and control systems of the machine.
The MT2010 uses a fixed-displacement hydraulic pump with open-centre valves. The en-
gine drives the pump via the torque converter. With no control functions operating, hy-
draulic fluid flows through the system and back to the hydraulic tank. Operating a control
activates specific valves that redirect oil to the targeted component. When the mechanism
reaches its limit of travel, system pressure increases until the main pressure control valve
opens. Oil is then directed, at minimal pressure, back to the hydraulic tank. Pressure on
the pump side of the pressure control valve remains at the level that is designated by the
pressure control valve set-point, until readjusted.
For further information on fluids and lubricants, see document "Fluids and lubricants" in-
cluded in the documentation supplied.

3.2.1 Cylinders
The cylinder does the work of the hydraulic system. It converts the pressure from the pump
into mechanical power in the cylinders. The cylinders are the muscles of the hydraulic cir-
cuit.
Double-acting cylinders provide force in both directions. Hydraulic fluid enters at one end of
the cylinder to extend it, and at the other end to retract it. Oil from the unpressurized end of
the cylinder returns to the hydraulic tank.
Dump Cylinders
Dump cylinder
The dump cylinders are double-acting, telescoping hydraulic cylinders with a chrome stem.
Steering Cylinders
Steering cylinder
The steering cylinders are double-acting cylinders which provide force in both directions.

2 Gas cap
3 Nitrogen
4 Body
5 Piston
6 Hydraulic cap
Hydraulic accumulators are used to store energy and maintain a smooth flow of oil to the
following systems during vehicle operation:
n Brakes
n Emergency steering (optional)
n Front axle suspension (Minetruck)
Operation
1. The accumulator is empty and neither gas nor hydraulic sides are pressurized.
4. System pressure peaks. The accumulator is filled with fluid to its design capacity. Any
further increase in hydraulic pressure would be prevented by a relief valve in the sys-
tem.
5. System pressure falls. Precharge pressure forces fluid from the accumulator into the
system.
6. Minimum system pressure is reached. The accumulator has discharged its designed
maximum volume of fluid back into the system.
Hydraulic Accumulators
NOTICE
Only an individual with the prescribed training must perform work with pressure
vessels. Only nitrogen gas (N2) can be used.
Technical Data
3. Connect the nipple from the drain/filler equipment. See the enclosed OEM manual for
instructions.
! NOTE: A fourth system, transmission, also uses a gear pump and is located on the
torque converter, along with the hydraulic system pumps.
Atlas Copco uses single and tandem hydraulic gear pumps, depending on the application.
A tandem pump (that is, with two pumping sections) is usually plumbed so one section
supplies a designated system (for example, the steering system) while the other section
supplies a second (the dump or brake) system. A second, single stage pump provides flow
for the remaining system.
! NOTE: In the following descriptions of the various hydraulic systems (steering, dump-
ing, braking) and components, pumps are referred to by the specific function they fulfil.
Charging Valve
Charging valve
The charging valve is located below the cab towards the front of the machine.
The charging valve consists of four cartridge valves within a valve body. They include:
n Pressure control valve
n Bleed valve
n Vented flow control
n Charging valve
This allows repair and maintenance of the valve without removing the complete valve body.
The main pressure control valve is pre-set for over-pressure protection of the system.
The air bleed and start-up valve reduces power requirements and facilitate pump priming
during startup.
The vented flow control valve controls the priority flow of the oil to the accumulators, and
has a fixed orifice (2–3 gpm/7.6-11.4 litre/m).
The charging valve regulates the pressure with which the accumulators are charged. The
engagement pressure is set at 110 bar and the disengagement pressure at 138 bar.
If electric power is removed from the solenoid, the valve closes and the brakes apply.
The steering control valve is located in the power frame articulation area, opposite the hy-
draulic tank.
The steering control valve combines the functions of the main steering valve and a cushion
valve into one component. It uses the 15.2-bar hydraulic system pilot pressure to shift the
main spool, which ports hydraulic system main pressure to the steering cylinders.
The main spool is spring centered to neutral and is shifted in either direction by pilot pres-
sure from the steering pilot valve. When shifted, the spool controls oil flow to and from the
steering cylinders allowing the vehicle to articulate.
The port relief valves protect the cylinders, hoses, and the main control valve from shock
loads or pressure spikes.
The main pressure relief valve controls the maximum operating pressure in the steering
system. The pressure is set at 165 bar.
Priority Valve
This valve is used to firstly ensure that priority oil flow is sent to the steering system and
secondly to control the steering speed. Oil flow from the steering and dump pump enters
the "P" port and passes through an opening which is externally adjustable. All oil that
passes through the opening is delivered to the main control valve through for the steering
through port "CF". The remaining flow goes out to the dump system through port "EF" via
the compensator spool.
Adjust the priority valve as follows:
1. Ensure that the machine and the oils are at operating temperature.
2. Ensure that the area around the machine is clear and of adequate size.
6. Move joystick fully to the opposite side and measure the time in seconds it takes for
the machine to fully lock in the opposite direction. The time in seconds should be 5–6
seconds. If not, release the throttle pedal, apply the parking brake, and loosen the
lock screw on the orifice shaft and turn a little in any direction.
Cab
Canopy
Cushion Valve
Cushion valve
The cushion valve protects the cylinders, hoses, and the steering control valve from shock
loads or pressure spikes.
Relief Valve
The main pressure relief valve controls the maximum operating pressure in the steering
system. The pressure is set at 165 bar.
Box Up
On the MT2010, the operator moves the dump box lever for box up operation. The pilot
pressure valve shifts down the spool in the dump control valve. Oil flows from the pressure
port to the base end of the cylinders to raise the dump box.
Oil from the stem end of the cylinders is routed back through the dump control valve to the
hydraulic tank.
Box Float
When the operator places the dump lever in the float position, all ports to the tank are
open. The result is that the weight of the dump box slowly lowers the dump box onto its
stops.
Components
Feed Pump
Main pump that is used to supply both steering and unloading functions.
Main Valve
Controls the extend and retract functions for all unloading functions.
Diverter Valve
Shifts the hydraulic pressure from the tailgate to the push plate or first box step and back.
Unloading Cycle
1. When the lever for the main dump valve is pulled backward, the flow is routed to the
tailgate cylinders and pressure is built up inside them. This results in the tailgate
opening.
2. A limit switch (A) is activated when the tailgate has been fully opened. The pressure is
routed to the cylinders for the tailgate and the cylinders for the box and push plate.
When the tailgate reaches its mechanical stop, pressure is built up in the cylinders for
the box and push plate. When there is sufficient pressure the box and push plate are
extended outward.
3. Press the lever for the main dump valve forward to retract the system. A limit switch
(C) is activated when the box and push plate have been fully retracted. The pressure
is then routed to the cylinders for the tailgate and the cylinders for the box and push
plate.
4. Pressure is built up in the tailgate cylinders when the box and push plate reaches
their mechanical stops, and when the pressure is sufficient the tailgate closes.
5. The operator is informed via the display when the system is fully retracted.
! NOTE: Also
Joystick Steering
The steering system for the machine is a pilot operated joystick system which uses hy-
draulic oil pressure to turn the machine. As the operator pushes the joystick, a low-pres-
sure flow of hydraulic oil is directed to the steering spool on the main control valve. This pi-
lot pressure pushes the spool open and allows the high-pressure oil from the steering
pump to fill the steering cylinders. As one cylinder is hydraulically extended, the other is hy-
draulically retracted, articulating the machine.
Over-Pressure Protection
Should a shock load be applied (that is, striking the rib) and the pressure in any port of the
steering cylinder exceed system design limits, an internal relief in the Steering Control
valve opens. Which allows the high-pressure oil to be vented from the affected port back to
the hydraulic tank. The cylinder either retracts or extends (depending on the affected port).
Wheel Steering
The steering system for the machine is an orbital system that uses hydraulic oil pressure to
turn the machine.
Oil pressure, which is supplied by the steering pump, goes through the steering orbital and
is directed to the dump system, through the HPCO port.
Actuating the steering wheel shifts the spool in the orbitrol steering valve. Depending on
the direction of turn, oil then continues on to either the left (L) or right hand (R) port of the
steering orbitrol.
As the operator continues turning the wheel, oil is supplied through the steering orbital
spool to either the left or right steering cylinder.
When the machine reaches the limit of full movement and touches the end position, the
pressure increases and the overpressure limiter opens and the flow reaches the tank.
Over-Pressure Protection
Should a shock load be applied (that is, striking the rib) and the pressure in any port of the
steering cylinder exceed system design limits, an internal relief in the Cushion valve opens.
Which allows the high-pressure oil to be vented from the affected port back to the hydraulic
tank. The cylinder either retracts or extends (depending on the affected side).
There is also a main pressure control valve in the system, which protects the pump.
With a valve installed between the energy storage device and the friction device, it makes
a simple brake system.
Brake Release
To release the brakes, use the hand pump until reaching approximately 138 bar in the ac-
cumulator. The pump has a built-in pressure control valve to prevent over pressurizing.
Releasing the override control immediately vents system pressure from the brake assem-
blies to the hydraulic tank and reapply the brakes.
Charging Mode
When the accumulator pressure drops to 110 bar +/- 0.5, the accumulator charging valve
sends oil to the brake accumulator. Once 138 bar +/- 0.5 is reached, the accumulator
charging valve shifts back to the non-charging mode. The accumulators now have 138 bar
stored for releasing the brakes.
Non-Charging Mode
The oil from the pump flows into the accumulator charging valve through priority flow con-
trol valve and out through the "out" port. Then into the inlet side of the pilot pressure valve
where pressure of 21 bar is directed to the steering pilot system. The remainder of the oil is
then directed to the brake cooling system.
Brakes Released
When the Parking Brake solenoid valve is energized, brake accumulator pressure flows to
the foot brake control valve. The oil flows through the spool, out to all four (4) hubs and re-
leases the brakes, allowing the hubs to turn freely.
Brakes Applied
Service Brake Operation
When the foot pedal is actuated, the flow of oil to the hubs is gradually cut off and the oil at
the hubs is allowed to return to the hydraulic tank. The hub SAHR brakes then apply, slow-
ing and stopping the machine.
Parking Brake Operation (Joystick Steering)
When the parking brake solenoid valve is deenergized, the brake accumulator pressure
flow is shut off to the foot brake control valve. At the same time allowing oil in the hubs to
flow back to the tank, applying the brakes.
Parking Brake Operation (Wheel Steering)
The truck is equipped with two series-mounted brake valves. Both valves must be ener-
gized to release the brake.
The current to both brake solenoid valves is disconnected when the parking brake is ap-
plied. There is then no oil flow from the accumulator to the brake control valve (foot brake
control valve).
Both brake solenoid valves are energized when the parking brake switch is activated. The
stored oil pressure in the accumulator is then directed to the brake control valve where the
oil flows through the spool out through all four hubs and releases the brakes. Which allow-
ing the hubs to turn freely (unless the brake control valve is applied).
1. The function of the pressure switch, the warning lamp, and buzzer is verifying its func-
tion to the operator every time the ignition is turned on. The warning lamp and buzzer
are activated until the emergency steering accumulators are filled. Then the pump is
getting pressure to the accumulators and the lamp and buzzer turn off. Turn the bat-
tery isolation switch, turn the engine ignition switch on but do not start the engine.
Now the emergency steering lamp and the buzzer should be on in the operator cab. If
they are not on, they must be checked and the fault repaired.
2. With the engine off: Open cover above the front axle and remove the coil from the
dump valve solenoid on the emergency steering valve block.
3. Start the machine and let the Emergency Steering accumulators charge up to the
maximum pressure.
4. Once this has been done, shut down the machine and turn off the battery isolation
switch.
5. Go to the emergency steering valve block and fully back out the needle valve. This al-
lows the charging valve oil to bypass to tank. The truck is only able to turn on the
stored oil pressure in the accumulators.
WARNING
Following action is a potentially dangerous operation and must
be done in a large open space with no obstacles. If the
emergency steering is not working properly, then the machine
is rolling with no steering capability. The operator must be
ready to quickly push the parking brake control valve.
6. Start the engine and release the parking brake. Let the machine roll slowly straight
forward and then articulate fully to one side, then go straight forward again. If the ma-
chine is able to carry out this procedure, then the emergency steering accumulators
are working properly.
7. If everything is working correctly, set the parking brake and switch off the machine.
Turn the battery isolation switch off.
8. Go to the emergency steering valve block and close the needle valve. Connect the
coil to the dump valve solenoid on the emergency steering valve block.
DANGER
The Hydraulic System contains Accumulators that store energy after the motor
has shut down. Depressurize the system before performing Maintenance.
DANGER
All hydraulic systems gradually lose pressure and present a crushing hazard for
maintenance personnel working within the confines of the machine, possibly
unaware of the gradual settling.
NOTICE
Long service life and functional reliability of hydraulic components are
dependent on proper maintenance.
! NOTE: The use of any safety procedures given in this section does not preclude any
other safety practices that are contained in this manual or the Safety manual.
! NOTE:
Do not mix Fire Retardant Fluid (FRF) with standard hydraulic fluids.
Protective internal paint coatings, if used, must be compatible with the hydraulic fluid used.
Be sure that all parts are on hand.
Parts from storage can develop a buildup of resin from protective oils and lubricant. This
resin must be dissolved with solvent before the part is installed.
Use lifting eye bolts and transportation equipment.
Do not use force. To prevent radial forces and tension on pipelines and components, en-
sure that pipelines are firmly secured.
Do not use putty or Teflon tape as a sealing material, as this can lead to contamination and
thus malfunctions.
Make sure that hose lines are correctly laid. Rubbing and touching of the lines must be
avoided.
Make sure that the correct oils are available. See "Fluids and lubricating greases" for cor-
rect oil specifications.
1. Park the Minetruck on a flat level surface and block all wheels.
4. Slowly open the filler cap. There is then the sound of escaping air. When this stops,
remove cap completely to be sure that all pressure has been removed. Replace cap
and secure tank. Pressure can also be released by opening the pet tap on the filter
housing. After pressure has been released, make sure that the pet tap is properly
tightened.
5. Cycle the brake override several times to relieve the brake accumulator pressure. The
drop in pressure is seen on the accumulator pressure gauge. Once all pressure is re-
lieved - turn off the ignition and battery isolation switch.
6. Cycle the dump lever a few times to relieve all pressure from the dump cylinders.
DANGER
Hydraulic pressure is still dangerously high in the cylinders and hoses. Use
extreme caution while removing a hose flange to a cylinder.
4. Return lines are open to tank, therefore the entire hydraulic tank can drain if they are
not adequately plugged. Often it is useful to apply a vacuum (3.4-4.8 bar/5–7 psi) on
the hydraulic tank at the breather to prevent oil leakage, but a plug will still be neces-
sary to prevent contaminate from getting sucked into the lines.
2. Check that hydraulic lines have been cleaned and are installed correctly.
4. Check that all components are correctly connected in accordance with installation
drawings or circuit diagrams.
7. Check that all fluids are as specified and filled up to maximum level.
3. Bleed the air out of the pumps suction line(s) on the test port on the suction tube.
Oil Level
Maintaining sufficient oil in the hydraulic tank is always a significant factor in successful op-
eration. During operation a certain amount of oil can be lost due to:
n Normal seepage
n Escape of oil vapor
In addition, leaks in the system may develop during operation. Daily or shift checks of the
hydraulic oil level allow prompt identification and correction of any problem.
If the oil level is neglected and allowed to fall, problems may occur which hamper efficient
performance of systems:
n If the oil level becomes too low, air may be drawn into the pump suction and contribute
to foaming. It may also cause cavitation, which can decrease the operating life of the
pump.
n Less oil in the system results in an increase in oil temperature due to the loss of heat
dissipating capacity. Such a rise in temperature imposes harder working conditions on
the pump, fluid motor and other moving parts such as control valves.
n A low oil level means an increased amount of air in the tank. That increases the rate of
oil oxidation and causes the loss of the initial properties of the oil.
! NOTE: When checking oil levels, be sure to distinguish between cold and hot levels,
which prevents over-filling.
Prevention of Foaming
Excessive foam in the hydraulic fluid, usually caused by one or more of the following:
n Oil level in the reservoir is too low, allowing the pump to draw air into the system.
n A leak in the suction line joints.
n The use of an improper type of hydraulic medium or a fluid that is too viscous.
n Deterioration of the fluid or the presence of harmful contaminants.
To adjust, with machine on a level surface, release the parking brake. Put the machine in
first gear and roll the machine forward, adjusting pedal heel stop up until the service brakes
start to drag.
Then turn stop back down until machine rolls free and brakes are no longer dragging. Then
turn the stop 1/ 4 of a turn in and lock the lock nut.
! NOTE: Whenever the SAHR brake valve is replaced, it should be tested for dead band
and adjusted as necessary.
DANGER
Always install the articulation locking bar prior to testing any pressures on the
Minetruck.
WARNING
Pressure settings and adjustments require two (2) people. NEVER leave the
Minetruck running without a qualified operator in the cab.
1. Loosen and open (but do not remove the fitting all the way) the suction line to the
steering and dump pump.
2. Pressurize the hydraulic tank either by filling it with hydraulic oil or by pumping air into
it through the quick fill disconnect.
3. Keep the fitting open until all the air is relieved out of the suction line.
4. After the line has been bled, tighten the fitting bolts on the pump.
NOTICE
Make sure that the O-Ring is properly seated and not being
pinched when the fitting is being retightened. Also, this is a
good time to inspect the O-Ring for damage before tightening
the fitting.
NOTICE
Make sure that there is oil at the pump inlet before starting the
engine at first start-up after pump replacement.
Bleed Brakes
The MT2010 uses Spring Applied Hydraulic Release (SAHR) brakes that have a built-in
safety function. Hydraulic pressure forces open the SAHR brakes, allowing the axles to ro-
tate. The loss of hydraulic pressure causes the spring applied brakes to close, stopping the
machine. Therefore, if a brake line is cut, the machine stops.
CAUTION
The brakes must be bled while the engine is running, therefore the following
safety precautions are important.
4. Have a co-worker sit behind the wheel, engine running, with the parking brake off and
the foot brake not pressed.
5. Begin with the rear brakes. Position one end of the bleed hose in a bucket containing
hydraulic fluid.
CAUTION
It is important to secure the loose end of the bleed hose so that
it does not hang loose.
8. Loosen and remove the bleed hose and continue to the next bleed valve.
9. After the rear brakes have been bled, move on to the front brakes.
10. After all four of the brakes have been bled, the machine can be returned to service.
CAUTION
No pressure control valve should be set higher than the factory setting.
NOTICE
The main relief test and adjustment must be accomplished with the hydraulic oil
at operating temperature and the engine at high idle.
! NOTE: Test one valve at a time using the valve test port.
A Adjustment screw
B Adjustment screw
2. Start the Minetruck engine and let idle until the hydraulic oil has reached operating
temperature.
3. If checking the steering relief, articulate the mine truck, fully at idle speed, then in-
crease RPM to maximum. Keeping the steering control valve activated, observe, and
record the pressure. It should be 165 ±3 bar.
4. If checking the dump main relief, raise the dump box all the way up with the engine at
high idle and hold the dump lever forward. Check and record the pressure. It should
be 165±3 bar.
Adjust Pressure
If the pressure is outside of the range, the main relief must be adjusted.
1. With the valve actuated, dump box up or steering engaged against articulation lock,
and the engine running at high idle, loosen, and remove the adjustment screw cover.
3. Turn the adjustment screw until the pressure is applicable to the correct value.
4. Tighten the locking nut with the pressure now set correctly.
5. Replace the adjustment screw cover and observe the pressure gauge for a short pe-
riod to make sure that the setting is stabilized at the correct value.
3.5.1 Safety
The following procedures are intended to help with the removal of the major hydraulic com-
ponents. If service is required on an individual component, contact an authorized Atlas
Copco sales company or dealer for information.
First check cleanliness:
n Area around the vehicle
n Power units, pipe connections, components
n Hydraulic fluids
n Parts from stock
Watch out for contamination. Dampness or dirt from the surrounding environment must not
be allowed to enter the hydraulic tank. Fill tank only via a filter, preferably via system filters
or portable filter stations with fine filters (10 microns).
Do not mix Fire Retardant Fluid (FRF) with standard hydraulic fluids.
Protective internal paint coatings, if used, must be compatible with the hydraulic fluid used.
Be sure that all parts are on hand.
Parts from storage can develop a build-up of resin from protective oils and grease. This
resin must be dissolved with solvent before the part is installed.
Use lifting eye bolts and transportation equipment.
Do not use force. To prevent radial forces and tension on pipelines and components, en-
sure that pipelines are firmly secured.
Do not use putty or Teflon tape as a sealing material, as this can lead to contamination and
thus malfunctions.
Make sure that hose lines are correctly laid. Rubbing and touching of the lines must be
avoided.
Make sure that the correct oils are available. See "Fluids and lubricating greases" for cor-
rect oil specifications.
DANGER
When the articulation lock cannot be used, all hydraulic pressure in the
accumulators must be discharged before starting work on the steering cylinders.
2. Follow the procedures to relieve the hydraulic pressure. See "Relieving Hydraulic
Pressure" on page 107.
3. Disconnect all cylinder hoses. Clean, label, and plug all cylinder and hose connec-
tions.
4. Attach a hoist or some type of rigging rated for the weight of the cylinder to support
the cylinder.
NOTICE
Protect the cylinder rod from damage during removal. Do not
place the jack stand on any machined surface of the cylinder.
5. Loosen and remove the retaining bolts and caps on each end of the cylinder.
7. Hoist the cylinder out of the way and place it on the shop floor or a suitable work
stand.
DANGER
The dump cylinders are heavy and pose a crushing hazard. Use a hoist or jack
capable of supporting the cylinders before disconnecting them.
DANGER
The dump box must be securely supported before relieving pressure. Always
install the dump box support stand when working under a raised box.
The dump cylinders require a lifting device to support and lower the cylinder to the ground.
Determine how the cylinder is handled before removing.
1. Raise the dump box several centimetres and support the cylinders so they do not bot-
tom out and wedge in their respective clamps.
2. Lower the box onto the supports with the dump lever in float position to prevent pres-
sure build-up in the cylinder.
! NOTE: Make sure that cylinder is free of grease or oil before secur-
ing with strap to prevent it from slipping.
4. Follow the procedures to relieve the hydraulic pressure. See "Relieving Hydraulic
Pressure" on page 107.
5. Disconnect all cylinder hoses. Clean, label, and plug all cylinder and hose connec-
tions.
6. Disconnect, label, and plug the lubricating lines to both cylinder pins.
7. Loosen and remove the pin retaining bolts and nuts and remove the top pin.
NOTICE
Be careful not to damage the dump cylinder pin lubrication line
connector during removal and replacement.
8. With the cylinder supported by an appropriately rated hoist or stand, loosen and re-
move the bottom retaining pin bolts and nuts.
9. Hoist the cylinder to the floor. Place the cylinder in an area away from traffic so that it
can safely be stored or serviced.
2. Place lower pin first. Once all hydraulic hoses are connected, it is easy to extend the
cylinders slowly by using the dump lever. To position the cylinder to insert the top re-
tainer pins, insert and tighten pin retainer bolts and nuts.
Remove Pump
1. Follow the procedures to relieve the hydraulic pressure. See "Relieving Hydraulic
Pressure" on page 107.
3. Remove the mounting bolts, and slide the pump off the forward pump stub shaft.
Replace Pump
Refit the pump in reverse order.
n Tighten hardware to proper values.
n When assembly has been correctly completed, proceed with priming, start-up, and
functional testing.
CAUTION
Some valves are very heavy. Care must be taken to avoid injury while removing
them.
NOTICE
Make sure that the area around the valve is clean and free of
debris. Valves are susceptible to damage from dirt or grime
being introduced into the hydraulic system due to dirty service
conditions.
2. Follow the procedures to relieve the hydraulic pressure. See "Relieving Hydraulic
Pressure" on page 107.
3. Disconnect, cap or plug, and label all hydraulic hoses to the valve.
4. Cap or plug the inlets, pressure ports, and pilot ports to prevent contamination.
5. Attach a hoist cable to the valve for support while removing the mounting bolts.
7. Lift the valve up onto a workbench. Do not place the valve in a position where it can
be damaged.
NOTICE
The most common cause of failure is dirt in the hydraulic oil.
n Dirt which lodges in the working parts and interferes with their operation.
n Dirt introduced due to filter bypass.
Most cartridges can be cleaned without altering their settings.
To check and clean a cartridge which is not functioning:
3. Through the nose of the cartridge, manually operate the inner working parts several
times. Use a piece of plastic tubing to avoid damaging soft seats, sharp edges, fin-
ished surfaces or the screen protecting the pilot orifice. All parts should move freely. If
possible, do this with the cartridge submerged in clean mineral spirits.
6. Dip the cartridge in clean hydraulic oil, then fit the cartridge, tighten to specified tight-
ening torque and retest.
7. If this procedure does not eliminate the problem, replace with a new factory-tested
cartridge.
NOTE: Service kits are available for the cartridges. Contact your
! Atlas Copco dealer for information on cartridge seal replacement
and or cartridge replacement.
1. Follow the procedures to relieve the hydraulic pressure. See "Relieving Hydraulic
Pressure" on page 107.
2. Bleed the hydraulic tank, and drain it into a tank of appropriate size. The oil is not suit-
able for reuse.
3. Clean, label, disconnect, and plug all hoses and harnesses to the manifold.
4 Power Unit
4.1 Introduction
This section covers all the major components of the power unit. This section will not cover
any major rebuild or disassembly of the engine itself.
For information about service and repair on the engine, see OEM manuals.
The power unit is supported by the following systems:
n Fuel system
n Engine oil system
n Electrical system
n Cooling system
n Air intake system
n Exhaust system
A Refueling
The fuel tanks on any diesel installation are as important as the other components of the
fuel system. The fuel supply tank and fuel lines must receive the same careful mainte-
nance that the other parts of the engine and fuel system receive.
Carelessness when filling fuel tanks can allow dirt to get into the fuel system. It takes little
dirt to damage fuel injection pumps and injectors, and the repair of these engine compo-
nents can be expensive.
NOTICE
Always use the strainer when filling the tank.
! NOTE: Fuel is taken from the bottom fittings on a fuel tank to provide the most air-free
fuel as possible and to utilize the full tank capacity.
Fuel Pump
The fuel pump supplies fuel to the injectors through the filter and the engine ECM during
engine operation.
Fuel injector
ECM
The Electronic Unit Injector (EUI) is a lightweight, compact unit that injects diesel fuel di-
rectly into the combustion chamber. The amount of fuel that is injected and the start of in-
jection timing is determined by the engine electronic control module (ECM). The ECM
sends a command pulse which activates the injector solenoid valve. The EUI has four func-
tions:
n Creates the high-fuel pressure required for efficient injection.
n Meters and injects the exact amount of fuel required to handle the load.
n Atomizes the fuel for mixing with the air in the combustion chamber.
n Permits continuous fuel flow for component cooling.
Engine combustion is obtained by injecting, under pressure, a small quantity of accurately
metered and finely atomized fuel oil into the cylinder. Metering and timing of the fuel is ac-
complished by the ECM which actuates the solenoid poppet valve to stop the free flow of
fuel through the injector. When the solenoid poppet valve closes, fuel is trapped in the in-
jector body and under the plunger. The continuous fuel flow through the injector prevents
air pockets in the fuel system and cools those injector parts that are subjected to high com-
bustion temperatures.
NOTICE
Only use fuel which is free from dirt particles and water to extend life of the fuel
system.
The life and effective operation of any diesel fuel system depends upon fuel which is free
from dirt particles and water. Diesel fuels are higher in viscosity than gasoline because
diesel fuels must be able to provide lubrication for many parts of the fuel system. However,
diesel fuels also contain more gums and abrasive particles which are difficult to extract dur-
ing refining. Therefore, be sure to use filters that meet OEM specifications.
The fuel filters are located in the front of the cabin or canopy. The fuel filter canister con-
tains a single-use cartridge. The bottom of the canister has a drainage tap for releasing the
water and the sediment that collect at the bottom of the filter shell.
Oil cooler
4.4.1 General
Normal Operating
When the engine is at normal operating temperature, the coolant passes from the cylinder
block up through the cylinder head, through the thermostat housing and into the upper por-
tion of the radiator.
The coolant then passes through a series of tubes. The revolving fan and the motion of the
vehicle creates an air flow there which is lowering the coolant temperature.
Cold Start
Upon starting a cold engine or when the coolant is below operating temperature, the closed
thermostats direct coolant flow from the thermostat housing through the bypass pipe to the
water pump. Coolant is recirculated through the engine to aid engine warmup.
When the thermostat opening temperature is reached, coolant flow is divided between the
radiator inlet and the bypass tube. When the thermostats are open, all the coolant flows to
the radiator inlet.
The engine coolant absorbs the heat, developed as a result of the combustion process in
the cylinders, from component parts such as the valves and pistons which are surrounded
by water jackets.
In addition, the heat that is absorbed by the oil is also removed by the engine coolant in the
oil-to-water oil cooler.
Pressurized System
A pressurized cooling system permits higher temperature operation than a nonpressurized
system. It is important that:
n The cooling system is kept clean and leak-free
n The filler cap and pressure relief mechanisms are properly installed and operate cor-
rectly
n The coolant level is properly maintained.
As the engine temperature increases, the coolant and air in the system starts to expand
and build pressure. The valve in the radiator pressure cap unseats and allows the coolant
to flow into the surge tank. When the engine starts to cool down, the air and coolant con-
tract, causing a void and creating a vacuum in the system. The vacuum unseats another
valve in the radiator pressure cap, allowing the coolant to flow back into the expansion tank
or radiator.
Water Quality
For further information on fluids and greases, see document "Fluids and greases" included
in the documentation supplied.
4.5.1 Overview
3 Pre-separation process
Process
1. Unfiltered and dirty air is sucked into the air intake system.
2. The plastic tube around the filter reinforces the pre-separation process by leading the
air into a rotary motion.
Maintenance
Regularly check that no dirt and particles are visible inside the air intake pipe to the turbo
or the pipes to the charge air cooler.
4.5.2 General
4.5.3 Function
4 Safety Filter
5 Evacuation valve
The function of the air filter is to remove abrasive airborne particles from the air, furnishing
a supply of clean air to the engine. The air filter is of vital importance to engine life and per-
formance.
In the event of accidental perforation of the primary filter, the safety element protects the
engine. It also protects the engine during service of the primary element.
NOTICE
Always service the air filter system with the engine stopped. The engine can be
severely damaged with dust and debris.
An adequate supply of clean, filtered air is necessary to maintain correct fuel and air ratios,
resulting in a cleaner burning engine.
Free flow of air to the intake manifold must not be restricted in any way. The maximum
pressure drop through the intake system, at full throttle and no load (approximately 2200
rpm) should not exceed specified engine manufacturer’s recommendations.
The filter should be cleaned or replaced when the "change filter" message is shown in the
gauge cluster display.
Turbo Charger
The turbocharger is designed to increase the overall efficiency of the engine.
Oil for lubricating the turbocharger is supplied under pressure through an external oil line
extending from the oil filter adapter to the top of the centre housing.
The following figures explain the engine intake air and exhaust flow.
1 Air Intake
2 Compressor
4 Cylinder
6 Turbine

4.6.1 General
A Catalytic converter
B Exhaust silencer
The exhaust silencer acts in the same manner as a silencer on a car. A double-walled con-
struction together with a special gasket reduces the engine noise that is emitted by the
combustion cycles without suppressing the exhaust gas flow. Back pressure that is caused
by an exhaust restriction could lead to engine damage. The silencers should therefore be
inspected frequently and serviced or replaced when a restriction is detected.
The catalytic converter reduces the amount of carbon monoxide, hydrocarbons, and diesel
odor that is emitted from the combustion process of the engine.

4. Remove the fan belts from the fan drive and tension pulleys.
5. Attach a lifting device to the lifting eye on the top of the radiator housing.
6. Loosen and remove the mounting bolts on both sides of the radiator.
7. Lift the radiator package out of the engine compartment, taking care to make sure that
all lines and wiring are clear and not hung up on the cooling package, and place on
the shop floor. Take care not to lay the radiator assembly flat, rather stand it up so
that the radiator itself is protected from damage.
NOTICE
Before removing the air intake system from the engine, steam clean the area
around the intake tubes. It is important to keep all dust and debris away from the
intake manifolds and tubes when removing them from the engine.
2. Loosen the clamps that hold the intake manifold to the intake manifold of the engine.
NOTICE
Before fitting the rubber tubes, inspect them for damage or excessive wear.
Install new tubes if damage is found.
NOTICE
As with the removal procedures, make sure that no dirt or dust is introduced to
the intake system when fitting the tubes.

necessary to drain the oil before removing the engine.
10. With a hoist appropriate to the engine weight, lift the engine out of the engine com-
partment and place on an engine stand.
1. If the crankcase oil was drained, replace with new engine oil and new oil filters.
2. Replace the engine coolant with new coolant. See "Fluids and lubricating greases" for
correct coolant specifications.
DANGER
Diesel fuel is highly flammable. Do not smoke while servicing the engine, also
take care to not expose the fuel system to an open flame.
WARNING
It is dangerous to loosen a pressure pipe! The fuel pressure can be up to 1950
bar!
Service and repair is only to be done on the low-pressure fuel lines. The high-pressure
lines are only to be serviced by authorised personnel.
When working with fuel lines it is important to maintain high cleanliness, to prevent failure
on fuel pumps and injectors. See "Fuel system" on page 5.
1. Clean the fuel valve or ends of the fuel line and the surrounding area.
2. If the component to be removed is after the secondary fuel filter, turn the filter fuel line
valve to the OFF position.

Refitting ECM
Reinstall the component in the reverse order of removal.
5 Electrical System
5.1 Introduction
Atlas Copco Minetrucks use a 24-Volt electrical system. Onboard computers control electri-
cal and hydraulic components. An environmentally sealed wiring harness connects the
subsystems that support efficient performance.
When the machine is started, various microprocessors perform diagnostic routines and
promptly report discrepancies to the operator via alarms and lights. As the Minetruck is
driven, sensors continuously monitor conditions and send data to the control systems that
evaluate and make adjustments.
When the engine is running, the alternator provides the necessary electrical current to
power the systems and to maintain a charge on the batteries.
Once a problem has been isolated from the overall system, use the specific harness and
component drawings and wiring diagrams to resolve the issue.
5.2.1 General
The machine electrical system includes:
n Wiring harness
n Component box
n Battery isolation switch
n Charging and ignition system
n Machine running lights
n Horn
The electrical system also supports various microprocessors that monitor and control ma-
chine efficiency and alert the operator to possible problems.
5.2.2 Harness
The machine is equipped with a sealed electrical system designed to withstand operating
temperatures of 90 °C and surges up to 300 volts.
The wiring splices are dip soldered and protected with waterproof heat shrink tubing. In ar-
eas where abrasions can occur, the wiring harnesses are protected with a braided sleeve
or spiral wind.
NOTICE
Turn the battery isolation switch to OFF position before welding on the
Minetruck. Failure to disconnect the battery from the electrical system before
welding causes severe damage to the computerized components of the engine
and electrical system.
! NOTE: Turning the battery isolation switch off while the machine is turned on can
cause a catastrophic failure to the electronic modules.
The battery isolation switch is located outside the canopy or cab. When turned to the off
position the electrical system is disconnected from the battery and alternator. The knob is
protected from the environment by its sealed housing.
The main purpose of the knob is to disconnect the battery from the machine so that main-
tenance can be safely conducted on the machine.
n Turn the knob to the left to switch off
n Turn to the right to connect
Canopy
Cab
5.2.6 Batteries
The battery system is two series-connected 12-volt batteries that provide 24 volts for driv-
ing the starter motor and initialization of the ECM. A fuse on battery positive cable protects
the starter motor from overloads. The battery isolation switch is attached to the negative
cable to isolate the battery and alternator from the electrical system.
5.2.7 Alternator
The alternator is a fully enclosed unit that has a built-in regulator and it is brushless. The
alternator has two functions, it provides electrical current for machine operation and
charges the battery as the machine is operating. The battery charging function requires
about 20% of the full load capacity of the alternator. The alternator is over-sized to provide
this margin when the engine is running at high idle.
5.2.8 Starter
The starter system is made up of two relays and a solenoid that allows electrical current to
flow through the system.
The first relay (K100) is located in the control panel in the machine canopy or cabin. It al-
lows current to flow to the on-board control units when the ignition is turned to the "ON" po-
sition.
The second relay (K301) is in the component box A20. It opens the circuit between the bat-
teries and the starter motor solenoid to engage the starter solenoid, actuating the starter
motor, and gears to engage the engine flywheel.
Parking Brake
Parking brake
The parking brake button/indicator illuminates when the parking brake is applied.
The MT2010 is equipped with an electronic brake latching safety circuit. The circuit acti-
vates the parking brake automatically. Either upon loss of brake accumulator pressure
(96.5 bar), low torque converter oil pressure (4.1 bar), or when power to the parking brake
solenoid is interrupted. To release the parking brake after it has set automatically, push the
parking brake button, then pull the parking brake button out.
The following are the reasons that the computer systems apply the parking brake:
n Electrical failure
n Transmission pressure drops
n Accumulator pressure drops
n Transmission in neutral
Whenever a failure causes the parking brake to be applied, the parking brake button must
be pushed to reset the circuit after solving the problem.
The system consists of an on-board manual hydraulic pump for pressurizing the accumula-
tor and an SAHR brake override. The system is activated from the operator seat by push-
ing and holding the button.
If there is not enough pressure available in the accumulators, use the hand pump to
recharge the accumulator pressure. The pump has a built-in safety valve to prevent over-
pressurizing the brake housings.
Releasing the override button immediately vents hub pressure to the hydraulic tank, apply-
ing the brakes.
CAUTION
Care should be taken not to push the SAHR brake override button when entering
or exiting the vehicle. This will cause accidental release of the brakes.
CAUTION
There must be a operator in the cab of the Minetruck when towing.
NOTE: If towing the Minetruck a long distance, it might be necessary to use the hy-
! draulic hand pump several times, to maintain enough pressure to keep the parking
brakes released.
A Reversing alarm
The back-up alarm, in the rear of the vehicle, is activated when the transmission is placed
in reverse. A flashing yellow light accompanies the audible alarm to ensure that bystanders
are aware of the vehicle.
5.3.1 General
The computerized control units are the brains of the vehicle. They are responsible for mon-
itoring the engine performance, the transmission gears, system status, inputs from the ve-
hicle operator, and the output of all diagnostic data. The computerized control units include
the following:
n Programmable Logic Controller (PLC)
n Engine Electronic Control Module (ECM)
n Gauge cluster (UIP)
Pos. Parameter
If a system pressure falls below its normal parameter, the parking brake is set. The parking
brake solenoid is continuously energized while the vehicle is in operation. If electrical cur-
rent is removed from the solenoid, the parking brakes are applied. The parking brake acts
to remove the power when pressed by the operator.
ECM
The engine electronic control module (ECM) is an engine-mounted computerized logic con-
trol device that provides overall engine management.
The ECM continuously performs diagnostic checks and monitors other engine systems.
The ECM controls engine speed and power, injection timing, governing, torque shaping,
cold start logic, fuel supply, diagnostics, and engine safeguards.
The ECM system includes the following components:
n Electronic Control Module
n Engine Speed Sensor
n Engine Wiring Harness
n System sensors
n Diagnostic interfaces
n Communication links
See OEM documentation, Atlas Copco system diagram, and the attached Atlas Copco
spare parts catalogue for further information.
System Sensors
The ECM sensor system is designed to provide information about the engine various per-
formance characteristics. The ECM uses the information to regulate the engine efficiency,
give diagnostic data, and to activate engine safeguards. Consult the OEM engine manuals
for sensor locations. Typical engine sensors include:
Turbo boost sensor
The turbo boost sensor gives the ECM information on the exhaust system for use in smoke
control.
Fuel pressure sensor
The fuel pressure sensor provides the ECM with data concerning the fuel pressure which
allows the system to warn the operator of impending power loss.
Oil pressure sensor
The oil pressure sensor activates the engine protection system when the pressure is out-
side the safe operating parameters.
Coolant pressure sensor
The coolant pressure sensor informs the ECM when the coolant pressure becomes too
low, which is in turn relayed to the operator.
Crankcase pressure sensor
When the crankcase pressure becomes too high, the pressure sensor tells the ECM to ini-
tialize engine protection safeguards.
Coolant temperature sensor
The coolant temperature sensor monitors coolant temperature and indicates to the ECM
when the temperature becomes too high. The ECM then activates the engine protection
system when the temperature exceeds specified parameters.
Fuel temperature sensor
The fuel temperature sensor measures fuel temperature for the ECM and EUI. Fuel con-
sumption calculations and input compensation is based on the information that is provided
by the fuel temperature sensor.
Air temperature sensor
Hot idle speed and injection timing calculations are affected by inputs from the air tempera-
ture sensor. The ECM adjusts to improve cold starts and reduce white smoke emissions
that are based on the input signals of the air temperature sensor.
Oil temperature sensor
The oil temperature sensor feeds information to the ECM about the operating oil tempera-
ture which, when too high, allows the ECM to activate the engine protection systems.
Coolant level sensor
The ECM receives the coolant level from the coolant level sensor and initializes engine
protection measures when the coolant level gets too low.
Throttle position sensor
The throttle system is a function of the engine ECM and operates in the same way as a
sensor. As the foot activated variable position sensor is engaged by the operator, a signal
is sent to the ECM. The ECM adjusts fuel injection and timing, which is based on the input,
thus accelerating the vehicle or slowing it down.
Diagnostics Interfaces
All problems that occur with the engine are stored in the ECM memory. The ECM diagnos-
tic interface is located in the operator cab under the control panel and can be accessed
with a Cummins Quick Check.
The engine ECM has two external data links, the first to the Cummins Quick Check and the
second goes to instrumentation. ECM internal communication lines are connected to sen-
sors and control units on the engine.
Gauge
The gauge cluster is installed in the control panel. It is equipped with warning lights that are
illuminated so that the operator can see the warnings in dark conditions. The warnings are
also shown on the display. The gauges receive data from the ECM and depending on their
purpose, display information as a dial type gauge.
! NOTE: There is much information that is displayed in a digital read out on the gauge
cluster. Scroll through to get to the correct area.
5.4.1 General
The electrical system of diesel-powered equipment requires periodic inspection and main-
tenance.
NOTICE
Always turn off the battery isolation switch (as a minimum precaution) whenever
working on an electrical problem on the machine.
NOTE: It is highly recommended to disconnect all battery cables and place all fuses
! and circuit breakers in the open position when doing any extensive electrical work on
the machine.
WARNING
Never disconnect the leads between battery, alternator, and voltage regulator
when the engine is running.
To achieve a properly functioning and reliable electrical system it is important that periodic
checks are made to inspect for:
n Water, oil, and dirt intrusion
n Corrosion of wiring terminals and devices
n Excessive wear on wire insulators due to vibration, tension, or excessive heat
Whenever repairing an electrical harness or device, use the manufacturers recommended
tools such as wire crimpers and insertion and removal tools. An electrical repair that is
done improperly will not only reduce the system’s reliability, but may contribute to further
electrical damage.
Wire harnesses should never be disconnected by pulling or yanking on the wires them-
selves. This can lead to a premature failure of the wire terminal, contact, or the connector
itself.
DANGER
Always make sure that the welding machine is grounded before attempting to
perform any electric welding
General
There are some diagnostic interfaces in the Minetruck computerized electrical systems.
The programmable logic control has a visual illuminated display. The engine ECM has a
Cummins Quick Check that can be plugged in, and diagnostic text in the gauge cluster.
NOTICE
The PLC needs at least 20 V to function. If the voltage is lower than 20 V, then the
PLC does not function and the "Power" and "Run" lamps will not be illuminated.
NOTE: If the power does fail and the outage applies the parking brake and not button
! activation then the parking brake lamp flashes. To reset the brake system, the button
must be cycled ON and OFF with the engine running.
The PLC is located in the main component box in the operator cab and can be accessed
by removing the mounting screws in the cover of the box. The function of the PLC can be
checked by observing the LEDs on the outer casing of the unit. As an input is made by ap-
plying or releasing the parking brake, activating the gear shift or a corresponding light is il-
luminated. The following charts indicate the numerical code that is displayed by the PLC:
! NOTE: The numbers in the <> brackets indicate that the light is not illuminated.
Failure
If a series of lights on the PLC fail, check the following before replacing the PLC unit:
n All wiring to the PLC
n Motor Status Relay
n Pressure Loss Relay
Both relays are located in component box A1,
The following table shows the inputs and outputs of the PLC:
X2 Tachometer input Y2
X13 3rd and 4th gear block out Y13 Signal Horn
5.4.3 Batteries
The batteries are located under a hood between the front wheels.
Selecting and installing the batteries is the first step to maintaining high performance.
Installation
1. Be sure the battery to be installed has a capacity at least equal to the electrical re-
quirements of the machine. An under capacity battery results in poor performance
and premature failure.
2. Be sure the battery, whether wet or dry, is at full charge when installed.
Periodic Service
1. Maintain electrolyte level to cover top of plates. Do not over-fill.
2. Keep the battery terminals, cables, and battery top clean. A lubricant that is not metal-
based covering the cable pole clamp reduces acid corrosion.
5. Test periodically with hydrometer or OCV tester to determine call state of charge, or
load tester for overall battery condition.
Battery Fluid
n Water used in the batteries must be distilled. Do not use mineral waters.
n Adding water to a cell lowers the specific gravity of the electrolyte, but it does not
mean that the cell has lost any of its charge.
n Watch for batteries that require excessive water. The need for excessive water may be
an indication of a charging system which is out of adjustment. It could indicate that the
battery is being subjected to the damaging effects of over-charging.
Tropical Climate
Batteries that are operated at high temperatures in tropical climates are usually provided
with electrolyte of about 1.225 specific gravity (Sp. Gr.) when fully charged. The weaker the
acid, the less damaging to separator fins and battery fins and results in longer battery life.
A tropical climate is defined as an environment in which the water never freezes.
n Lack of water
n Freezing of electrolyte
n Age
n Daily maintenance
n Improper installation
n Improper Capacity (Installation of a battery with a lower capacity than the electrical de-
mands of the machine)
Visual Inspection
The outside appearance of a battery is an important indicator for judging its performance
and expected life. Signs of potential battery failure include:
n Age
n Cracked container
n Leaking acid
n Cracked or raised cell covers
n Loose or corroded terminal posts or cable connections
Testing
Potential battery failures are not always detectable from visual inspection. You cannot see
a bad cell, so all batteries must be tested approximately once a month to reveal the hidden
defects that cause battery failure. Several easy tests can be made as follows:
a. All cells read above 1.230 SP.GR. and specific gravity readings in each within 50
points. Battery is OK!
b. Cells that are read below 1.230 SP.GR and specific gravity readings within 50
points. Battery needs recharge (and retest).
c. A spread greater than 50 points SP.GR. between cells. Battery is at point of fail-
ure. Replace.
3. Set the slider to VOLT. Read the pole voltage on the upper scale. Minimum reading
for 12-volt battery: 12.6 volts.
4. Set the slider to AMP. Turn control knob to the right until (yellow) ammeter scale
reads the battery ampere hour capacity. If ampere hour capacity of battery is un-
known, use 50-ampere hour rating for 12-volt battery. Hold for 15 seconds only.
5. Set slide switch to VOLTS position, and read voltage under load scale. Minimum
reading for 12 voltage battery is 9.6 volts.
a. If test reading is in green (or OK) section of the voltage under load scale, the bat-
tery is in good condition.
b. If test reading is in red (or LOW) section and specific gravity of all cells is above
1.230, the battery is wearing out and should be replaced. If specific gravity of
cells is below 1.230, recharge the battery and retest.
c. If test reading drops down to near zero and one or more cells bubbles, battery is
not serviceable and should be replaced.
2. Connect black cable (negative) to negative post on dead battery. Connect black cable
to the negative post on fully charged battery. Leave engine of charging vehicle run-
ning when starting a vehicle with a dead battery.
When disconnecting cables, disconnect the cable from the fully charged battery first.
CAUTION
If cables are connected wrong on a vehicle, the alternator can be seriously
damaged.
5.4.4 Alternator
Alternators normally require little servicing. They should be tested at least once a year to
ensure that they are providing the proper voltage and amperage. If an alternator fails to
meet specifications, it must be replaced.
If the slip rings are out-of-round or the brushes are worn close to the holders, then the al-
ternator is removed and repaired or replaced.
Precautions to be observed when servicing systems using alternators:
n Reversed battery connection damages the rectifiers, vehicle wiring, or other compo-
nents of the charging system.
n Battery polarity must be checked with a voltmeter to assure that it conforms to the re-
quired. Note which terminal post is connected to ground before reinstalling a battery.
All units have negative ground.
n If booster batteries are used for starting, they must be connected properly to prevent
damage to the system.
n Make sure the negative (-) terminal of the booster battery is connected to the negative
(-) terminal of the machine battery, and the positive (+) terminals are connected to-
gether.
n Care must be taken when connecting a “fast charger.”
n Remove the battery ground strap before charging. It is not advisable to attempt to start
the vehicle by using the “fast charger” as a booster under any condition.
n Do not attempt to polarize the alternator. No polarization is required. Any attempt to do
so results in damage to the alternator, regulator, or circuits.
n The field circuit must not be grounded at any point.
n Grounding of the field damages the regulator. Be careful when working near the elec-
trical system.
n Grounding of the alternator output terminal damages the alternator and circuit compo-
nents.
n The regulator must be equipped with a circuit breaker. If not equipped, then the termi-
nal is “HOT” even when the system is not in operation. Grounding can cause consider-
able damage.
n Do not ground the adjusting tool to the regulator base when adjusting voltage unit or
other regulator components.
n The adjusting tool must be insulated.
n Be careful to use the batteries of higher-than-system voltage, either to boost a battery
of lower voltage or in starting.
n Never leave the higher voltage battery in the system. When used for boosting, discon-
nect the vehicle battery ground. When used for starting, disconnect the high-voltage
battery when machine is started.
n Alternators must not be operated on open circuit with the field winding energized. High
voltages result, causing possible rectifier failure. Make sure that all connections are se-
cure.
5.5.1 General
To replace the gauges, switches, lights, relays, fuses, circuit breakers, horn, and solenoids
follow these general procedures:
n Disconnect the battery by switching off the battery isolation switch (isolation of the bat-
tery).
n Ensure that the replacement unit is a 24-volt OEM compatible part.
n Use care to replace the wiring connectors to their correct receptacle on the new part.
NOTE: All the electrical connectors are designed so that they can only be attached to
! their receptacle in one way. Do not attempt to force any connectors on to any recepta-
cles.
5.5.2 Transducers
1. Disconnect the battery by turning off the circuit breaker (battery isolation switch).
4. Use care to replace the wiring connectors to their correct receptacle on the new part.
CAUTION
The hydraulic system is a high-pressure circuit, over 140 bar. The pressure must
be bled off before replacing the transducers.
2. Disconnect the battery by turning off the circuit breaker (battery isolation switch).
4. Use care to replace the wiring connectors to their correct receptacle on the new part.
CAUTION
Coolant temperature is hot and can scald or burn exposed skin. Take care to let
the engine cool prior to replacing any sensor on or around the engine.

5.6.5 Parameters
6 Power Train
6.1.1 Transmission
The transmission that is used is a "Full Powershift". Selection of gear, direction, and speed
take place electrically by push buttons that are on the steering joystick.
Transmission components include:
n Control valves
n Torque converter
n Lock-up clutch
n Gear sets
n Hydraulic clutches
Torque Converter
The torque converter consists of three elements:
n Impeller
n Turbine
n Stator
The impeller is the input element and is driven directly by the engine. The turbine is the
output element and is hydraulically driven by the impeller. The stator is the reaction ele-
ment (the torque increasing element). When the impeller is rotating faster than the turbine
the torque converter amplifies the torque. When the turbine approaches the speed of the
impeller, torque multiplication stops and the torque converter functions as a fluid coupling.
Lock-Up Clutch
The lockup clutch is located inside the torque converter and consists of three elements:
n Piston
n Clutch plate
n Push plate
The piston and backplate are driven by the engine. The clutch plate, which is located be-
tween the piston and the push plate, is splined to the torque converter turbine. The lockup
clutch is hydraulically engaged and released in response to electronic signals from the
PLC. The lockup clutch engages when the vehicle or equipment reaches a predetermined
speed.
Connection of the lockup clutch provides a direct drive from the engine to the transmission
gearing. This eliminates torque converter slippage to provide maximum fuel economy. The
lockup clutch releases at lower speeds (and momentarily during shifts).
When the lock-up clutch is released, drive from the engine is transmitted hydraulically
through the torque converter to the transmission’s gearing. The lockup clutch also releases
when the PLC detects certain undesirable conditions.
6.1.3 Axles
The front and rear axles have spiral bevel type ring gear and pinion with further reduction
provided by planetary gear set within the wheel hub.
For additional information about how to repair the axles: see the attached digital OEM doc-
umentation for additional information.
Rear axle
All the including parts for the axles are found in the spare parts catalogue.
Primary Reduction
The spiral bevel pinion and ring gear transmit power through the centre differential pinions,
side gears and to the drive axles. The spiral bevel differential assembly is mounted on ta-
pered roller bearings. The tapered roller bearings are adjusted by positioning of the two
threaded adjusting nuts that are mounted in the differential carrier and cap assembly. The
tapered roller pinion bearing preload is adjusted and maintained by a hardened and preci-
sion ground spacer that is positioned between inner and outer bearings.
Secondary Reduction
In the wheel hub, a self-centring sun gear is spline fitted to the drive axle and drives three
planetary pinion gears. These gears in turn mesh with and react against a rigidly mounted
internal ring gear. The planet gears rotate on needle roller bearings that are mounted on
hardened and ground pins that are located in the planet carrier which in turn drives the
wheel hub. Positive lubrication keeps all moving parts that are bathed in lubricant to reduce
friction, heat, and wear.
Tires
An effective wheel and tyre maintenance programme can pay significant dividends in im-
proved productivity and longer tyre life.
This chapter identifies several major areas to consider in establishing a tyre and wheel
maintenance program:
n Rim and tyre inspection and maintenance
n Air pressure inspection
n Rolling radius and tyre sizing
n Driving practices
The following are important, but are not covered within this chapter:
n Records maintenance
n Mechanical and driver training
n Access to rim and tyre handling equipment
n Road maintenance and tyre life
Then use a sharp, narrow-bladed knife and cut away the rubber around the cut to form a
cone-shaped cavity extending to the bottom of the cut. The sides of the cavity should be
slanted enough to prevent stones from wedging into it.
Tires with tread cuts treated in this manner may be continued in service without danger of
further growth of these injuries.
Large cord body breaks over 1/3 of the width of the tyre cannot be economically repaired
for use in normal service.
! NOTE: Keep tires free from oil, grease, and fuel. Never clean tires with petroleum
products. If a petroleum product gets on a tyre, promptly flush off or wipe off with water.
! NOTE: Inflation pressures are based on the standard Minetruck configuration and the
off-road rating by the tyre and rim association Inc.
NOTICE
Never fit different-sized tires on a Minetruck.
When the rolling radius of tires on the same axle is different, they are not rotating at the
same speed. This sets up a continuous stress on the axle components which is relieved by
tyre skid.
When the rolling radius difference occurs between the front and rear axles on a four-wheel
drive vehicle, this additional stress is amplified throughout the entire power train.
Improper inflation is the most common cause of a difference in rolling radius. Two identical
tires which are not equally inflated have a different rolling radius.
Other reasons for a difference in the rolling radius would be the use of different-sized tires
or unequally worn tires on the vehicle.
Atlas Copco Inc. recommends that the tyre rolling radius tolerances be matched as shown
in the following equation:
! NOTE: If the difference is larger than 2%, one side of the no-spin disengages (the
smaller tyre). The other side carries all the torque.
Example:
30" RR tyre +/- 4% = 31.2” RR to 28.8” RR.
Driving Practices
A proper tyre maintenance program and maintaining haulage ways in good condition can-
not guarantee optimum service life of tires. Poor driving practices are a major cause of ex-
cessive wear and permanent damage.
Drivers can help to reduce tyre costs by:
n Avoiding obstacles and keeping away from chuck holes or other hazards, which can
damage tires.
n Not climbing or driving up on the ore pile. Such practice subjects tires to cutting and
concentrated impact.
n Preventing excessive braking. Heat developed by braking may be transferred to the
tyre beads (and/ or inner liner of tubeless tires) causing these areas to become
charred or cracked.
n Not letting tires rub against side walls or against barriers erected to facilitate unloading.
n Avoiding taking turns at high speeds and driving in the lowest gear applicable.
! NOTE: The driver who drives carefully and who makes a reasonable attempt to pre-
vent tyre damage saves a substantial amount of money on tyre costs.
DANGER
Release the brake accumulator pressure and the hydraulic tank pressure. See
"Relieving Hydraulic Pressure" on page 107.
DANGER
Not preparing the vehicle properly can cause death or serious injury.
! NOTE: Hydraulic pressure is still high. Use extreme caution while removing hydraulic
components.
WARNING
Hot surfaces! Allow all components to cool before initiating removal procedures.
6.2.1 Transmission
Remove Transmission
DANGER
The transmission is very heavy. Do not allow anybody under the transmission
when it is raised.
NOTICE
Before removing the transmission assembly, steam clean the area around the
component.
! NOTE: Always tag and plug each hose as it is removed to prevent contamination of the
hydraulic system and transmission and to facilitate the refitting of the components.
! NOTE: Identify and label all hoses and wiring before removing them from the transmis-
sion. This allows the faster fitting of the transmission.
1. Disconnect, cap, and tag all hoses to the pumps on top of the transmission.
3. Remove the input, the front axle, and the rear axle cardan shafts. See "Remove and
install cardan shafts" on page 71.
Fit Transmission
Fit the transmission package in the reverse order to removal.
NOTICE
Take care not to crush the hydraulic tubes that are attached to the frame on the
right-hand side of the transmission compartment.
DANGER
Make certain that all wheels are blocked securely before removing a cardan shaft
section.
NOTE: Most cardan shaft sections are removed and replaced in similar manners. How-
! ever, for ease in locating procedures and precise coverage of minor differences, the
following paragraphs contain procedures for each cardan shaft section.
NOTE: In each of the following replacement procedures, the procedure assumes that
! the Minetruck is in the same condition and position as at the conclusion of the associ-
ated removal procedure.
! NOTE: The lube fitting on each of the universal joints and the fitting on the slip yoke
should all be on the same side of the shaft for ease of servicing.
2. Insert the key of the opposite trunnion cap into the yoke. The trunnion cap has ma-
chined surface keyway, so some compression of the seals may be required to seat
the second bearing. This can be done using a C clamp, tapping with a soft hammer,
or by using hand pressure.
3. Once the bearings are properly seated, insert the cap screw fasteners and torque
them to the proper values using a suitable torque wrench.
NOTE: Do not use lock washers, lock plates, or lock wire to secure
! the fasteners. These devices do not prevent the fasteners from
loosening. Proper torquing is the most reliable method of securing
fasteners.
DANGER
Always make sure that there is a cardan shaft guard that is installed around or
over the midship drive axle. This guard provides protection for the driver.
NOTICE
It is always a good idea to clean the work area before removing or fitting a
component.
! NOTE: The midship cardan shaft must be disassembled to be removed. To fit the car-
dan shaft, it must first be phased to ensure correct balance.
Auto Removal
1. Remove any cardan shaft guards that could be in the way of the removal steps.
2. Wrap several layers of masking tape around the bearings on the front universal joint
cross.
3. Remove the bolts that secure the front universal joint cross to the output component
yoke. Make certain that the tape holds the bearings in place on the cross.
4. Wrap several layers of masking tape around the bearings on the rear universal joint
cross.
5. Remove the bolts that secure the rear universal joint cross to the input component
shaft yoke. Make certain that the tape holds the bearings in place on the cross.
Installation
1. Place the cardan shaft section in approximate position.
2. Reinstall the bolts that secure the rear universal joint cross to the input component
shaft yoke, but do not tighten yet. Remove the tape from the bearings on the cross.
3. Reinstall the bolts that secure the front universal joint cross to the output component
yoke, but do not tighten yet. Remove the tape from the bearings on the cross.
4. Inspect the positions of the bearings. If all are in the correct position, torque the bolts.
See "Tightening Torques" on page 178.
6.2.3 Axles
DANGER
Ensure that the method used to elevate the vehicle is stable and capable of
raising and supporting the weight.
DANGER
The Minetruck must be placed on cribs or suitable supports before removing the
axles.
DANGER
The axles must be supported before removal from the vehicle.
Removal Preparation
1. Relieve all pressure from the hydraulic system by venting at the breather and/or loos-
ening the tank cap.
2. Clean the axle and surrounding area with a power washer or steam cleaner. Take
care not to damage hoses or wires while cleaning the area.
3. Disconnect, cap, or plug all hydraulic lines from both wheel ends.
4. Remove the cardan shaft following the steps that are outlined in See "Remove and in-
stall cardan shafts" on page 71.
5. Drain differential and planetaries. See "Remove and install cardan shafts" on page
71.
2. Raise the Minetruck until the tires are no longer touching the ground.
4. Place suitable supports under the vehicle and axle making sure that the front end is
stable and not rocking on the supports.
5. With the axle supported, loosen and remove both suspension cylinder trunnion caps.
6. Lower the axle slowly to the ground taking care not to entangle any electrical lines or
hydraulic hoses as the axle assembly is lowered.
7. Slide the axle out from under the vehicle and place it on stands for disassembly.
! NOTE: The SAHR brake system will need to be bled after the system has been recon-
nected. See "Relieving Hydraulic Pressure" on page 107.
DANGER
Install the dump box support stand prior to working in the axle
area.
3. Slowly lower the axle, taking care to keep it from becoming entangled in hoses and
wires, to the floor so that it can be set aside.
4. Pull the axle out from under the rear frame and place it on the floor or an appropriate
stand.
! NOTE: The SAHR brake system will need to be bled after the system has been recon-
nected. See "Relieving Hydraulic Pressure" on page 107.
General
DANGER
Tyre and rim servicing can be dangerous, and should be done by trained
personnel using proper tools and procedures.
DANGER
Failure to comply with these procedures may result in faulty positioning of the
tyre and/or rim. Air pressure and heat from normal operation are adequate to
cause rapid disassembly, with explosive force, if the parts are damaged or
improperly installed.
The arrow in the image shows the direction that wheel parts can fly, with explosive force, if
installed improperly or if parts are damaged.
Wheel Inspection
Precondition p Inspect wheel components for defects, observing the following precautions:
1. Clean rims and repaint to prevent corrosion and to facilitate inspection and tyre
mounting. Be careful to clean all dirt and rust from the lock ring and gutter. It is impor-
tant to lock the lock ring into the correct position. A filter on the air pump equipment to
remove moisture from air lines helps to prevent corrosion. The filter should be
checked periodically to be sure that it is working properly. Parts must be clean for a
proper fit, particularly the gutter section which holds the lock ring in proper position.
2. Check the rim for cracks. Replace all cracked, badly worn, damaged, and severely
rusted components with new parts of the same size and type. Replace a component
when condition is in doubt. Parts that are cracked, damaged, or excessively corroded
are weakened. Bent or repaired parts may not engage properly.
3. Do not reinflate a tyre that has been run flat without first inspecting the tyre, tube, flap,
rim, and wheel assembly. Double check the side ring, flange, bead seat, lock ring,
and O-ring for damage and make sure that they are secure in the gutter before infla-
tion. Components may have been damaged or dislocated during the time the tyre was
run flat or seriously under-inflated.
4. Do not, under any circumstances, attempt to rework, weld, heat, or braze any rim
components that are cracked, broken, or damaged. Replace them with new parts, or
spare parts that are not cracked, broken, or damaged and which are of the same size
and type. Heating a part may weaken it when it is unable to withstand forces of infla-
tion or operation.
Dismantling
1. Block wheels not to be serviced.
2. Use jacks, hoisting, or another suitable method to raise the vehicle until the wheel to
be serviced just clears the ground.
DANGER
Ensure that the method used to elevate the Minetruck is stable
and capable of raising and supporting the weight. If the tyre to
be removed is on an oscillating axle, be sure to block the
carrier.
3. Crib or securely block the vehicle before proceeding with wheel removal.
DANGER
Do not attempt to remove the wheel rim or wheel components
such as flanges or wheel clamps until all pressure has been
released from the tyre. A damaged wheel rim part under
pressure can burst and cause severe injury or fatality.
4. Remove the valve core and exhaust all air from the tyre. Stand clear or to the side
during deflation.
5. Check the valve stem by running a piece of wire through the stem to make sure that it
is not plugged before proceeding with wheel service.
WARNING
Do not look into the valve stem while clearing restrictions.
6. Remove the wheel using a hoist and sling capable of supporting the load.
CAUTION
Use caution when removing wheels or heavy rim components.
Stand to one side and keep hands and fingers clear when
using demounting tools. The tool may slip and cause injury.
Mounting
Precondition p Review safety warnings and cautions for dismounting before beginning work.
1. Verify articulation locking bar is secured between both frame mountings and the "Do
Not Operate" tag is in place on the ignition switch.
3. Clean all wheel and hub mounting surfaces. Remove all dirt, grease, or paint before
installing wheel.
4. Replace the wheel using a hoist and sling or forklift capable of safely supporting the
load. Make sure that the valve stem is aligned with any clearance slot in the axle hub.
5. Install mounting hardware and secure the tyre and rim in accordance with the torque
settings.
6. Once the tyre is mounted, lower the vehicle to the ground, using jacks, hoists or other
suitable method.
9. Remove the "Do Not Operate" sign from the ignition switch.
Mismatched Rims
Improper rim selection can cause these operating problems:
n Tyre slippage
n Excessive flexing
n Tube pinching
n Overheating
n Valve stem tear outs
n Sidewall failure
n Ply separation
n Blowouts
DANGER
Mismatched rim parts are dangerous.
Most rims look alike but all vary slightly in certain design features. It is these differences
between different types of wheel rims that make "mixing parts" an unsafe approach. It is
important that the wheel rim parts actually fit together to give the tyre a long service-life
and safe function.
Often side-rings, flanges, and lock rings of different types appear to be properly seated, but
wide gaps are present, frequently difficult to see. The rim cross-sections above show cor-
rect, safe matchings of rim parts, and mismatched rings and bases which almost always
create an unsafe operating condition.
NOTICE
Before mounting and torquing, remove all paint, dirt, and rust from both sides of
wheels at mating surfaces around lug bolt holes. These areas must be clean.
Also, clean axle wheel end surfaces which mate with rear side of wheels. Proper
torque cannot be maintained unless these surfaces are clean and free of paint,
dirt, or grease.
Recapping
For some off-road operations, such as mucking and hauling, recapping tires can be cost ef-
fective alternative to replacement with new tires. Most tires are generally recappable, de-
pending on how well they have been inspected during their service life.
The deciding factor is the severity of the job the tyre must do. Some jobs are too tough for
recapped tires. High speed, overloading, and long service at low inflation pressure all take
too much life out of the cord body for it to last longer than the life of one tread.
On large tires with wire in the body, recapping is advantageous. Modern recappers can re-
cap wire and replaces the wire, if necessary.
Operating Precautions
Precondition p Observe the following precautions when putting the Minetruck back in service:
1. Do not use undersized rims. Use recommended rim for tyre. Consult catalogues for
proper tyre/rim matching.
2. Do not overload or over-inflate tyre/rim assemblies. Check the rim assemblies if spe-
cial operating conditions are required. Excessive overload can cause damage to the
tyre and rim assembly.
3. Never install a tube in a tubeless tyre/rim assembly when the rim is suspected of leak-
ing. Loss of air pressure through fatigue, cracks, or other fractures in a tubeless rim
warns of a potential rim failure. This safety feature is lost when tubes are used with
leaking rims. Continued use may cause the rim to burst with explosive force.
4. Always inspect rims and wheels for damage during tyre checks. Early detection of po-
tential rim failures may prevent serious injury.
7 Main Frame
7.1 Introduction
The main frame consists of two sections, the power frame and the load frame. The two
sections are united by an articulation joint. The power frame section provides control for
the load frame section.
This chapter covers the separation and reconnection of the power frame and the load
frame.
This chapter also contains removal and replacement instructions for the following:
n Major components on the power frame other than the power unit, power train, hy-
draulic systems, and the electrical system.
n Major components on the load frame other than the power train, hydraulic systems,
and electrical system.
7.2.1 General
Before starting work on the vehicle:
n Always read the "Safety manual" and the "Operator’s Manual" in order to work with
and park the vehicle correctly.
n Install articulation lock prior to lifting the vehicle.
n Attach a "Do Not Operate" tag to the ignition switch.
DANGER
Release the brake accumulator pressure and the hydraulic tank pressure. See
"Relieving Hydraulic Pressure" on page 107.
DANGER
Not preparing the vehicle properly can cause death or serious injury.
WARNING
Hot surfaces! Allow all components to cool before initiating removal procedures.
! NOTE: Atlas Copco installs lifting eyes in the factory for shipping only!
WARNING
Do not use the factory installed lifting eyes unless they have been inspected and
certified to be safe by a qualified engineer.
Lifting Bails
WARNING
Through use, the dump box may wear and not be structurally sound enough to
weld on. Inspect the suggested locations of the lift eye points for structural
integrity before placing the lift eyes.
NOTICE
The following installation procedures are for reference only. Consult local
engineering standards and procedures before attempting to install any lifting
eyes.
2. Locate the specified areas where the lifting eyes will be welded to the dump box.
4. Follow the locally approved procedures for welding a 10 mm fillet weld all of the way
around the base of each lifting eye.
DANGER
The dump box is very heavy and poses a crushing hazard. Do not work under the
raised dump box without the support stand installed.
2. Locate a lifting device and position the Minetruck under the lifting device so that it can
safely lift the dump box.
3. Shut the engine off, apply the parking brake, and block the wheels.
5. Attach lift chains that are rated to the lifting eyes. Make sure that the dump box is bal-
ances evenly when lifted.
WARNING
Use only the properly rated chains or straps for lifting the
dump box. Do not use a damaged chain or strap.
6. Disconnect and cap the lubrication lines to the dump box pivot pins immediately.
7. Loosen and remove the dump cylinder pin retainer bolts at the dump box end of both
cylinders.
! NOTE: Hook a strap around the top end of the cylinders, to ensure
that the cylinders do not "fall" when removed, as they are heavy.
WARNING
Never allow anyone to walk under any object that is hoisted.
Never allow anyone to ride in the dump box at any time.
B Retainer bolt for trunnion cap for dump box pivot pin
10. Carefully lift the dump box off of the load frame and place on a flat hardened surface.
7.3.1 General
Before starting work on the vehicle:
n Always read the "Safety manual" and the "Operator’s Manual" in order to work with
and park the vehicle correctly.
n Install articulation lock prior to lifting the vehicle.
n Attach a "Do Not Operate" tag to the ignition switch.
DANGER
Release the brake accumulator pressure and the hydraulic tank pressure. See
"Relieving Hydraulic Pressure" on page 107.
DANGER
Not preparing the vehicle properly can cause death or serious injury.
WARNING
Hot surfaces! Allow all components to cool before initiating removal procedures.
DANGER
The Minetruck hoods are heavy. Do not reach or lean underneath any hood
unnecessarily when the hood is raised without first installing the hood properly.
NOTICE
The top cover hoods are not as heavy as the engine hood. However, it is always
better to use a lifting device to lift the hoods away from the engine.
! NOTE: The following procedures are generalized for all of the hoods and covers on the
Minetruck.
Remove Hood
Engine hood
1. Park the Minetruck on a flat hard surface and switch off the engine.
3. Rig a hoist capable of lifting the engine compartment hood above the Minetruck.
7. Slowly lift the hood with the hoist, making sure that it does not strike the frame or
catch on any components nearby. Place the hood on blocks in a safe location away
from the work area.
Refit Hood
Refit the hood in reverse order to removal.
NOTICE
Always install the hood latches after servicing the Minetruck.
7.4.1 Separation
To separate the load frame and the power frame all tension must be removed from the ar-
ticulation joint.
2. Relieve all pressure in the hydraulic system. See "Relieving Hydraulic Pressure" on
page 107.
3. Disconnect or remove the midship cardan shaft. See "Remove & install cardan shafts"
on page 71.
Connections for the hydraulic lines between the load frame and power frame
6. Disconnect the hydraulic lines between the load frame and power frame. Immediately
cap or plug each line and connector.
7. Disconnect the steering cylinders from the power frame by removing the cylinder pin
retainer bolts and pins.
a. Place a dolly capable of carrying the weight of the front of the load frame under
the front of the load frame. Place a steel sheet on the ground on which to roll the
dolly if the Minetruck is not on a concrete surface.
b. Position a hoist over the front of the load frame. The hoist must be capable of
carrying the weight of the front of the load frame. The hoist must be capable of
moving backward approximately 1 meter (3 feet) with the load frame.
10. Adjust the height of the dolly or hoist so that the weight is removed from the articula-
tion joint.
11. Remove the bolts that attach the articulation pin to the hinge plate.
12. Remove the bolts that attach the articulation pin to the pin trunnion caps and remove
the pin.
NOTE: With some pin designs, the articulation pin does not bolt di-
! rectly to the hinge plate. The retaining cap uses two sets of bolts,
one set attaches the retaining cap to the pin, and the other set at-
taches the retaining cap to the hinge plate.
13. Remove the wheel chocks from the load frame wheels.
15. Position wheel chocks at the front and rear of the rear wheels on the load frame.
16. Securely support the front of the load frame with wooden blocks.
7.4.2 Reconnection
! NOTE: This procedure assumes that the Minetruck is in the same condition and posi-
tion as at the end of the frame separation procedure.
1. Remove the wooden blocks from beneath the front of the load frame.
2. Remove the wheel chocks from in front of and behind the load wheels on the load
frame.
3. Move the load frame backward until aligned with the articulation pins.
4. Adjust the height of the load frame as necessary for proper pin alignment to the artic-
ulation lock.
5. Insert the lower pin. Reinstall the pin retaining cap. Lubricate each articulation pin and
retaining cap bolt and screw in all bolts. Do not tighten.
7. Position wheel chocks in front of and behind the rear chassis wheels.
8. Check the positions of the articulation pins. If both pins and all caps are in proper po-
sition, properly torque the bolts.
9. Remove the dolly and its fittings from beneath the front of the load frame or remove
the hoist and its fittings from the frame.
13. Remove the maintenance stands from beneath the power frame.
B Pin retainer
C Bearing holder
D Bearing cup
E O-ring
F Set screw
G Articulated joint
Atlas Copco Minetrucks are supplied with taper roller articulation pins. Installation and re-
moval of the articulation pins is not required to disconnect the two frames. However during
the life of the Minetruck, it may be necessary to remove the hinge pins.
NOTICE
The bearing spacer, cup, and cone are matched set. If the bearing is damaged or
worn, replace the whole bearing assembly. Atlas Copco recommends replacing
both the upper and lower hinge pin bearing at the same time.
Pin Removal
WARNING
The articulation pins are very heavy and could cause injury or even death if
mishandled. Always use a hoist to position the pin into the hinge bore. Also take
care when removing the top pin.
1. Disconnect the load frame and power frame. See "Separating Load Frame and Power
Frame" on page 85.
NOTE: The order of pin removal does not matter. If the bearings
! are going to be fitted, then tag them as they are taken apart so that
they will be replaced in their previous position.
2. If removing the bottom pin, place a stand under the pin, if removing the upper pin, at-
tach a hoist to the pin.
3. Loosen and remove the pin cap screws and lift off the pin retainer. Place the pin re-
tainer and screws aside so that they may be reused.
4. Loosen and remove the bearing retainer plate lock nuts and bolts.
5. Carefully lift off the bearing retainer plates (both sides) and set aside for reuse.
6. Push off the spacer ring and the small washer. Set both aside for reuse.
7. Remove the bearing cone. Note the position of the cone, and tag with placement if the
bearing will be reused.
8. Depending on pin, either lower or lift the pin from the hinge plate bore. Set the pin
aside for reuse.
9. Slide the spacer ring and bearing cone off of the pin. If reused, set aside and tag with
position of the bearing.
10. Remove the bearing cup from the hinge plate and set aside if reused.
7.5 Stops
7.5.1 General
The Minetruck is designed for the weight of the load to be carried against the stops. Either
improper operating technique or worn, missing, or improperly installed stops can result in
several problems. The most common problems that are related to missing or defective
stops are:
n Blown cylinder seals
n Cylinder barrel failure
n Main control valve seals leaking
n Structural damage
All vehicles are shipped from the factory with stops installed.
When mounting a new dump box, the position of the stops must be checked. A small mis-
alignment can cause material damage.
When the vehicle is operated without stops that are hammered out, or improperly installed,
the load will be supported by the cylinder barrel, load frame, or both.
If the stops are missing or badly worn, the cylinder stem can bottom out in the barrel. With
the load supported by the barrel, any vertical movement of the load (such as occurs during
tramming) causes the piston to pound the base of the barrel. This result in failure of the
cylinder ultimately, particularly at the weld around the end cap and possibly at the cylinder
mountings as well.
The steering stops are installed to limit the travel of the steering cylinders and to prevent
them from bottoming out in either direction. The stops also keep the load and power
frames from hitting each other and causing damage.
The steering stops are solid steel blocks which are welded in the articulation joint of the ve-
hicle.
