Inevitably, it is impossible for VOITH TURBO GmbH & Co. KG in the last analysis to assess all situations
which might entail the risk of injury for the person carrying out the work. It is therefore imperative that
any person carrying out repair work on VOITH retarders uses his professional knowledge to make sure
that his own safety is not endangered and that the retarder suffers no negative effects, in particular
safety-wise, through the chosen working procedure. For these reasons, no liability can be assumed for
damage incurred.
It is therefore expressly pointed out that all working procedures described must be carried out only in
compliance with the valid general directions and regulations of the locally responsible authorities, of the
health protection, accident prevention and environmental protection organisations.
The technical status of the present instructions can be seen from the updating index. There may be
discrepancies between the actual technical status of the retarders and the descriptions owing to
continuous development and improvement of the retarders.
VOITH TURBO GmbH & Co. KG reserves the right to make modifications at any time and without
prior notification.
Should you have queries about the descriptions, please contact the responsible person in the
appropriate organisation of the country involved or:

The retarder is driven and braking torque is transmitted by a pair gearwheels in the gearbox.
The transmission ratio enables the retarder to achieve high braking torques right down
to low r.p.m. ranges with the compactest configuration (small rotor/stator).
Retarder braking torque is sustained even when gear changes are made.
In the event of a retarder failure or when the temperature limit is effective, the service brake must be FD985
used to regulate the vehicle speed.

When the retarder stage switch (16) is shifted to position 1, the „Constant Speed“ function is activated.
The present speed is memorized and the retarder holds the vehicle to this speed downhill within the limit a b
of the maximum braking torque.
If the retarder is switched off (0 position), or if a braking stage is engaged (position 2 to 5), the memorized
constant speed is deleted. If the constant speed function is re-activated, the new present speed
is memorized.
FD299
If the retarder stage switch (16) is shifted to positions 2 to 5, the retarder brakes in braking stage 1 to 4.
The hydrodynamic principle
In the maximum position of the retarder stage switch (16), the braking torque of the VOITH retarder a Rotor (46)
is at maximum. b Stator (44)
c Oil flow
The control medium for the VOITH retarder R 115 H is compressed air, which is taken from the
vehicle air tank for auxiliary equipment.
When the retarder stage switch (16) is operated, an input signal is fed to the control unit (2). From this
input signal, the control unit (2) provides a control current which is passed on to the
proportional valve (21).
The proportional valve (21), depending on the magnitude of the control current, provides a
constant-air pressure py on the oil sump (43).
The constant-air pressure py in the oil sump (43), depending on the operating conditions (prop-shaft
speed), forces a certain quantity of oil into the working chamber between rotor (46) and stator (44).
The rotor (46) is connected with the drive shaft of the retarder, the stator (44) is fixed
to the retarder housing.

The rotation of the rotor sets the oil in motion and circulates it in a closed circuit between
the rotor (46) and stator (44).
The reduction of the velocity of the oil flow in the chambers of the stator (44) leads to braking of
the rotor (46) and consequently to braking of the vehicle.
During braking, the kinetic energy of a deceleration is transformed into heat. To dissipate this heat, part
of the circulating oil is pumped continuously by the rotor (46) through the heat exchanger (3300) and via
filling ducts to join the circulating flow again.
In the heat exchanger (3300), the heat energy of the oil is transferred to the cooling water of the vehicle
and dissipated via the vehicle radiator to the ambient air.
The braking torque and consequently the heat generated are reduced until a balance is obtained
between the braking energy of the retarder and the amount of heat which can be dissipated by
the vehicle cooling system.
If the cooling water temperature rises into the temperature limit range, the consequence is a limitation of
the retarder braking torque to protect the vehicle cooling system. If the temperature rises above the
temperature limit range, there is no more braking torque output.
While the temperature limit is effective or if there is a retarder failure, the service brake must be used to
control the vehicle.
The control unit (2) also cuts back braking torque if oil temperature rises too rapidly, irrespective of actual
oil temperature.

3. Install the retarder, if necessary (see Section 5.1, „Removing, Installing Retarder“).
Notice
Pay attention to the instructions regarding the quality of the cooling-water given
from the manufacturer or VOITH TURBO.
Caution!
If the heat exchanger leaks, there is water present in the retarder. If the retarder is filled up, a mixture of
oil and water is created, causing the oil in the retarder to foam and escape through the casing ventilation
system to the atmosphere.
For this reason, it is indispensible to flush out the retarder after repairs!
While flushing, apply the brake gently several times to prevent the retarder oil warming up excessively.

Inevitably, it is impossible for VOITH TURBO GmbH & Co. KG in the last analysis to assess all situations
which might entail the risk of injury for the person carrying out the work. It is therefore imperative that
any person carrying out repair work on VOITH retarders uses his professional knowledge to make sure
that his own safety is not endangered and that the retarder suffers no negative effects, in particular
safety-wise, through the chosen working procedure. For these reasons, no liability can be assumed for
damage incurred.
It is therefore expressly pointed out that all working procedures described must be carried out only in
compliance with the valid general directions and regulations of the locally responsible authorities, of the
health protection, accident prevention and environmental protection organisations.
The technical status of the present instructions can be seen from the updating index. There may be
discrepancies between the actual technical status of the retarders and the descriptions owing to
continuous development and improvement of the retarders.
VOITH TURBO GmbH & Co. KG reserves the right to make modifications at any time and without
prior notification.
Should you have queries about the descriptions, please contact the responsible person in the
appropriate organisation of the country involved or:

The retarder is driven and braking torque is transmitted by a pair gearwheels in the gearbox.
The transmission ratio enables the retarder to achieve high braking torques right down
to low r.p.m. ranges with the compactest configuration (small rotor/stator).
Retarder braking torque is sustained even when gear changes are made.
In the event of a retarder failure or when the temperature limit is effective, the service brake must be FD985
used to regulate the vehicle speed.

When the retarder stage switch (16) is shifted to position 1, the „Constant Speed“ function is activated.
The present speed is memorized and the retarder holds the vehicle to this speed downhill within the limit a b
of the maximum braking torque.
If the retarder is switched off (0 position), or if a braking stage is engaged (position 2 to 5), the memorized
constant speed is cancelled. If the constant speed function is re-activated, the new present speed
is memorized.
FD299
If the retarder stage switch (16) is shifted to positions 2 to 5, the retarder brakes in braking stage 1 to 4.
The hydrodynamic principle
In the maximum position of the retarder stage switch (16), the braking torque of the VOITH retarder a Rotor (46)
is at maximum. b Stator (44)
c Oil flow
The control medium for the VOITH retarder R 115 H is compressed air, which is taken from the
vehicle air tank for auxiliary equipment.
When the retarder stage switch (16) is operated, an input signal is fed to the control unit (2). From this
input signal, the control unit (2) provides a control current which is passed on to the
proportional valve (21).
The proportional valve (21), depending on the magnitude of the control current, provides a
constant-air pressure py on the oil sump (43).
The constant-air pressure py in the oil sump (43), depending on the operating conditions (prop-shaft
speed), forces a certain quantity of oil into the working chamber between rotor (46) and stator (44).
The rotor (46) is connected with the drive shaft of the retarder, the stator (44) is fixed
to the retarder housing.

The rotation of the retarder sets the oil in motion and circulates it in a closed circuit between
the rotor (46) and stator (44).
The reduction of the velocity of the oil flow in the chambers of the stator (44) leads to braking of
the rotor (46) and consequently to braking of the vehicle.
During braking, the deceleration energy is transformed into heat. To dissipate this heat, part of the oil in
the working circuit is pumped continuously by the rotor (46) through the heat exchanger (3300) and
filling ducts and returned to the circuit again.
In the heat exchanger (3300), the heat energy of the oil is transferred to the cooling water of the vehicle
and dissipated via the vehicle radiator to the ambient air.
The braking torque and consequently the heat generated are reduced until a balance is obtained
between the braking energy of the retarder and the amount of heat which can be dissipated by
the vehicle cooling system.
If the temperature limit range of approx. 10°C is exceeded while braking, braking torque output
is stopped to protect the vehicle cooling system.
While the temperature limit is operative or whenever there is a retarder failure, the service brake must
be used to control the speed of the vehicle.

3. Install the retarder, if necessary (see Section 5.1, „Removing, Installing Retarder“).
Notice
Pay attention to the instructions regarding the quality of the cooling-water given
from the manufacturer or VOITH TURBO.
Caution!
If the heat exchanger leaks, there is water present in the retarder. If the retarder is filled up, a mixture of
oil and water is created, causing the oil in the retarder to foam and escape through the casing ventilation
system to the atmosphere.
For this reason, it is indispensible to flush out the retarder after repairs!
While flushing, apply the brake gently several times to prevent the retarder oil warming up excessively.

Inevitably, it is impossible for VOITH TURBO GmbH & Co. KG in the last analysis to assess all situations
which might entail the risk of injury for the person carrying out the work. It is therefore imperative that
any person carrying out repair work on VOITH retarders uses his professional knowledge to make sure
that his own safety is not endangered and that the retarder suffers no negative effects, in particular
safety-wise, through the chosen working procedure. For these reasons, no liability can be assumed for
damage incurred.
It is therefore expressly pointed out that all working procedures described must be carried out only in
compliance with the valid general directions and regulations of the locally responsible authorities, of the
health protection, accident prevention and environmental protection organisations.
The technical status of the present instructions can be seen from the updating index. There may be
discrepancies between the actual technical status of the retarders and the descriptions owing to
continuous development and improvement of the retarders.
VOITH TURBO GmbH & Co. KG reserves the right to make modifications at any time and without
prior notification.
Should you have queries about the descriptions, please contact the responsible person in the
appropriate organisation of the country involved or:

The retarder is driven and braking torque is transmitted by a pair gearwheels in the gearbox.
The transmission ratio enables the retarder to achieve high braking torques right down
to low r.p.m. ranges with the compactest configuration (small rotor/stator).
Retarder braking torque is sustained even when gear changes are made.

The retarder stage switch (16) has 4 braking stages and an additional function (engine brake or
constant throttle).
When the retarder stage switch (16) is shifted to position 1, the engine brake or constant throttle
is activated. a b
If the retarder stage switch (16) is shifted to positions 2 to 5 the retarder brakes in
braking stage 1 to 4. Engine brake or constant throttle are switched on in addition.
In the maximum position of the retarder stage switch (16), the braking torque of the VOITH retarder
is at maximum.

The control medium for the VOITH retarder R 115 H is compressed air, which is taken from the
vehicle air tank for auxiliary equipment. The hydrodynamic principle
a Rotor (46)
When the retarder stage switch (16) is operated, an input signal is fed to the control unit (2). From this b Stator (44)
input signal, the control unit (2) provides a control current which is passed on to the c Oil flow
proportional valve (21).
The proportional valve (21), depending on the magnitude of the control current, provides a
constant-air pressure py on the oil sump (43).
The constant-air pressure py in the oil sump (43), depending on the operating conditions (prop-shaft
speed), forces a certain quantity of oil into the working chamber between rotor (46) and stator (44).
The rotor (46) is connected with the drive shaft of the retarder, the stator (44) is fixed
to the retarder housing.

53.2662.10 Page 2.2/3
General
(Continue)
The rotation of the retarder sets the oil in motion and circulates it in a closed circuit between
the rotor (46) and stator (44).
The reduction of the velocity of the oil flow in the chambers of the stator (44) leads to braking of
the rotor (46) and consequently to braking of the vehicle.
During braking, the deceleration energy is transformed into heat. To dissipate this heat, part of the oil in
the working circuit is pumped continuously by the rotor (46) through the heat exchanger (3300) and
filling ducts and returned to the circuit again.
In the heat exchanger (3300), the heat energy of the oil is transferred to the cooling water of the vehicle
and dissipated via the vehicle radiator to the ambient air.
The braking torque and consequently the heat generated are reduced until a balance is obtained
between the braking energy of the retarder and the amount of heat which can be dissipated by
the vehicle cooling system.
If the temperature limit range of approx. 10°C is exceeded while braking, braking torque output
is stopped to protect the vehicle cooling system.
While the temperature limit is operative or whenever there is a retarder failure, the service brake must
be used to control the speed of the vehicle.

Caution!
If the heat exchanger leaks, there is water present in the retarder. If the retarder is filled up, a mixture of
oil and water is created, causing the oil in the retarder to foam and escape through the casing ventilation
system to the atmosphere.
For this reason, it is indispensible to flush out the retarder after repairs!
2921
While flushing, apply the brake gently several times to prevent the retarder oil warming up excessively.
2920
5. Flush the retarder, if the heat exchanger leaked: 2918
To flush the retarder, fill it with 5,4 litres of engine- or flushing oil. Apply the brakes gently several
times to flush out the retarder system and drain the oil through the central oil-drain plug (2919). 2919
FD344
Repeat the procedure 2 or 3 times.
Coat new O-rings (2918 und 2920) with silicone-free and non-corrosive grease and fit them on to
the central oil-drain plug (2919).
Screw central oil-drain plug (2919) tight with new sealing ring (2921). Tightening torque 55 Nm

Cooling Water Quality / Corrosion Preventive and Antifreezing Agent
Position as per: August 1997
Generally the information coming from the vehicle manufacturer is applicable and to be observed!
However, if no information is available, please observe the following specifications.
1. Water
1.1 Use clean water for treatment of the cooling medium, as specified in chapters 2.1, 2.2 and
2.3. Drinking water normally, but not always, meets the requirements. Not suitable are sea water,
brackish water, salt water and industrial waste water. Avoid suspended particles in the water,
especially those containing copper.
For any information required on the water quality please contact the local waterworks or the
water supply plant in charge. In case that information on the water quality is not available
use distilled or demineralized water for mixing. If the water does not meet the admissible
analysis values, treat the water suitably.
2. Composition of coolant
50 % by volume water
50 % by volume corrosion preventive and antifreezing agent*; antifreeze down to approx. -37 °C
Sum of alkaline earths (water hardness): max. 3.6 mmol/l = max. 20° German hardness
= max. 36° French hardness
= max. 25° British hardness
= max. 21° American hardness
*see chapter 4
90 % by volume water
10 % by volume corrosion preventive additive (coolant additive)**; admissible deviation ± 1 % by volume
Sum of alkaline earths (water hardness): max. 2.7 mmol/l C91= max. 15° German hardness
= max. 27° French hardness
= max. 19° British hardness
= max. 16° American hardness
**see chapter 5
Attention:
Do not mix corrosion preventive additives with corrosion preventive/antifreezing agent or processing
agent!
Field of application: at permanent ambient temperatures above the freezing point and if provably
neither released corrosion preventive and antifreezing agent nor coolant additive are available,
the coolant may have the following mixing:
99 % by volume water
1 % by volume processing agent***
Sum of alkaline earths (water hardness): max. 2.7 mmol/l = max. 15° German hardness
= max. 27° French hardness
= max. 19° British hardness
= max. 16° American hardness
***see chapter 6
For topping up, use an emulsion of 0.5 - 1.0 % by volume. Use 1.5 % by volume in case
of new filling or filling after a complete cleaning.
Attention:
Too high concentrations (> 1.5 % by volume) have a detrimental effect on sealings and hoses!
3.1 Disposal
It is not allowed to pass the coolant into the sewerage, but to recycle or dispose it.
The legal regulations or waste water regulations may deviate from country to country but have
to be observed when disposing used coolants.
3.2 Safety
Before using the coolants stated from chapter 4, observe and adhere to the safety data sheets and
product information of the respective supplier.
We do not have a list of the engine manufacturer naming antifreezing agents with corrosion preventive.

Inevitably, it is impossible for VOITH TURBO GmbH & Co. KG in the last analysis to assess all situations
which might entail the risk of injury for the person carrying out the work. It is therefore imperative that
any person carrying out repair work on VOITH retarders uses his professional knowledge to make sure
that his own safety is not endangered and that the retarder suffers no negative effects, in particular
safety-wise, through the chosen working procedure. For these reasons, no liability can be assumed for
damage incurred.
It is therefore expressly pointed out that all working procedures described must be carried out only in
compliance with the valid general directions and regulations of the locally responsible authorities, of the
health protection, accident prevention and environmental protection organisations.
The technical status of the present instructions can be seen from the updating index. There may be
discrepancies between the actual technical status of the retarders and the descriptions owing to
continuous development and improvement of the retarders.
VOITH TURBO GmbH & Co. KG reserves the right to make modifications at any time and without
prior notification.
Should you have queries about the descriptions, please contact the responsible person in the
appropriate organisation of the country involved or:

A retarder stage switch (16) with a maximum of 5 switching stages is used to control the
VOITH Retarders 120. A special version combines the retarder stage switch (16) with ABS,
a 3-stage pedal-operated brake valve or a service-brake pressure switch.
When the retarder stage switch (16) is shifted to position 1, the „Constant Speed“ function is activated.
The present speed is memorized and the retarder holds the vehicle to this speed downhill within the limit
of the maximum braking torque.
If the retarder is switched off (0 position), or switched to braking stage (position 2 to 5), the memorized
constant speed is deleted. If the constant speed function is re-activated, the new present speed
is memorized.
When the retarder stage switch is shifted to position 2 to 5, braking stage 1 to 4 is energized.
Maximum braking torque is obtained when the retarder stage switch is in the maximum position.

The constant-air pressure py in the oil sump (43), depending on the operating conditions
(prop shaft speed), forces a certain quantity of oil into the working chamber between rotor (46)
and stator (44).

The rotor (46) is connected with the retarder drive shaft, the stator (44) is stationary with the retarder
housing.
The rotation of the rotor sets the oil in motion and circulates it in a closed circuit between
the rotor (46) and stator (44).
The reduction of the velocity of the oil flow in the chambers of the stator (44) leads to braking of
the rotor (46) and consequently to braking of the vehicle.
During braking, the kinetic energy of a deceleration is transformed into heat. To dissipate this heat, part
of the circulating oil is pumped continuously by the rotor (46) through the heat exchanger (3300) and via
filling ducts to join the circulating flow again.
In the heat exchanger (3300), the heat energy of the oil is transferred to the cooling water of the vehicle
and dissipated via the vehicle radiator to the ambient air.

General
(Continue)
The braking torque and consequently the heat generated are reduced until a balance is obtained
between the braking energy of the retarder and the amount of heat which can be dissipated by
the vehicle cooling system.
If the cooling water temperature rises into the temperature limit range, the consequence is a limitation of
the retarder braking torque to protect the vehicle cooling system. If the temperature rises above the
temperature limit range, there is no more braking torque output.
While the temperature limit is effective or if there is a retarder failure, the service brake must be used to
control the vehicle.
The control unit (2) also cuts back braking torque if oil temperature rises too rapidly, irrespective of actual
oil temperature.

The blinking code can be triggered analogous to V 0.2, the conditions are the same. Additionally the
blinking code can be triggered with the help of the retarder stage switch during the service function:
1. Shift RSS-Position 0
2. Shift RSS-Position 1 ( ≥ 2 Seconds)
3. Shift RSS-Position 0
4. Blinking code of first fault is indicated
5. Repeat from step 2 to 3 for more blinking code outputs
There is a break of 3 seconds before and after each blinking code output, during this time the retarder
pilot light is switched off.
Display example: Fault code 23
Display example for fault code 23:
E Retarder stage switch on
A Retarder stage switch off
The number of tens will be indicated first as long ON-time: each 2 seconds t Time
The number of singles afterwards will be indicated as short ON-time: each 0,5 seconds
Breaks between each ON-time: each 1 second
If a relevant fault is indicated, the retarder pilot light is ON before triggering of the blinking code, the
retarder pilot light switches to permanent lighting again after the blinking code.
If there is only one fault in the memory, the retarder pilot light stays OFF after the output.

The present service manual serves as training material of the basics course.
The information and instructions which is given to you furthermore provide the basis for
appropriate and professional maintenance and repair at the VOITH Retarder 120 with Logoprop control.
We ask you firmly to notice the safety and warning notes which you will find in these instructions.
Caution!
is associated for safety instructions and for warning notes at dangerous situations for persons,
at reduction of quality of workmanship and the possibility of damage to property.
Notice
is associated for general notices for a better handling during maintenance of the retarder.
Caution!
At a failure of the retarder, or while the temperature limitation is effective the vehicle speed must be
settled with the service brake.
Notice
Only genuine spare parts may be used for repairs. For inquiries and orders, please provide the following
information (see also Section 2.3):
• Serial-Number
• Code-Number
Notice
The used three- or four-digit item numbers in these instructions are corresponding to the item numbers
in the spare part lists in the annex. Items or components shown with an oblique-number are not
available. Items or components with two-digit item numbers are no spare parts and therefore not
available in the spare part lists.
Caution!
Pay attention to absolute cleanliness in maintenance work. Dirt on bearing and sealing surfaces and
electrical contacts may cause considerable damage or operational malfunctions.
Notice
To observe environmental protection you should dispose of drained fuels, coolants and lubricants
professionally.
Notice
Shield retarder proportional valve from direct jet of high-pressure cleaner (steam jet cleaner)!
Notice
In troubleshooting you must not replace parts on suspicion. Warranty work or goodwill work can only be
offered, if the parts involved are demonstrably defective.
To exclude injuries and to avoid impairment of the operational reliability of the retarder or damage to the
retarder as a result of inexpert workmanship, the information and instructions must be read carefully and
complied with in their entirety.
Inevitably, it is impossible for VOITH TURBO GmbH & Co. KG in the last analysis to assess all situations
which might entail the risk of injury for the person carrying out the work. It is therefore imperative that
any person carrying out repair work on VOITH retarders uses his professional knowledge to make sure
that his own safety is not endangered and that the retarder suffers no negative effects, in particular
safety-wise, through the chosen working procedure. For these reasons, no liability can be assumed for
damage incurred.
It is therefore expressly pointed out that all working procedures described must be carried out only in
compliance with the valid general directions and regulations of the locally responsible authorities, of the
health protection, accident prevention and environmental protection organisations.
The technical status of the present instructions can be seen from the updating index. There may be
discrepancies between the actual technical status of the retarders and the descriptions owing to
continuous development and improvement of the retarders.
VOITH TURBO GmbH & Co. KG reserves the right to make modifications at any time and without
prior notification.
Should you have queries about the descriptions, please contact the responsible person in the
appropriate organisation of the country involved or:

The reference numbers indicated in Section 2.2 are not identical with the reference numbers of the spare parts lists.
A retarder stage switch (16) with a maximum of 5 switching stages is used to control the
VOITH Retarders 120 - 120S. A special version combines the retarder stage switch (16) with ABS,
a 3-stage pedal-operated brake valve or a service-brake pressure switch.
When the retarder stage switch (16) is shifted to position 1, the „Constant Speed“ function is activated.
The present speed is memorized and the retarder holds the vehicle to this speed downhill within the limit
of the maximum braking torque.
If the retarder is switched off (0 position), or switched to braking stage (position 2 to 5), the memorized
constant speed is deleted.
If the constant speed function is re-activated, the new present speed is memorized.When the retarder
stage switch is shifted to position 2 to 5, braking stage 1 to 4 is energized. Maximum braking torque is
obtained when the retarder stage switch is in the maximum position.

The reduction of the velocity of the oil flow in the chambers of the stator (44) leads to braking of b Stator (44)
the rotor (46) and consequently to braking of the vehicle. c Oil flow
During braking, the kinetic energy of a deceleration is transformed into heat. To dissipate this heat, part
of the circulating oil is pumped continuously by the rotor (46) through the heat exchanger (1000) and via
filling ducts to join the circulating flow again.
In the heat exchanger (1000), the heat energy of the oil is transferred to the cooling water of the vehicle
and dissipated via the vehicle radiator to the ambient air.

This temperature pick-up guarantees that the maximum permissible cooling water temperatures are not
exceeded.
If the cooling water in the return pipe heats up to a preselected temperature, the constant-air
pressure py decreases linearly over a range of approx. 10o C at the highest braking stage.
The braking torque and consequently the heat generated are reduced until a balance is obtained
between the braking energy of the retarder and the amount of heat which can be dissipated by the
vehicle cooling system.
If the limit range of approx. 10o C is exceeded while braking, braking torque output is stopped to protect
the vehicle cooling system.
While the temperature limit is effective or if there is a retarder failure, the service brake must be used to
control the vehicle.

Position as per: August 1997
Generally the information coming from the vehicle manufacturer is applicable and to be observed!
However, if no information is available, please observe the following specifications.
1. Water
1.1 Use clean water for treatment of the cooling medium, as specified in chapters 2.1, 2.2 and
2.3. Drinking water normally, but not always, meets the requirements. Not suitable are sea water,
brackish water, salt water and industrial waste water. Avoid suspended particles in the water,
especially those containing copper.
For any information required on the water quality please contact the local waterworks or the
water supply plant in charge. In case that information on the water quality is not available
use distilled or demineralized water for mixing. If the water does not meet the admissible
analysis values, treat the water suitably.
2. Composition of coolant
50 % by volume water
50 % by volume corrosion preventive and antifreezing agent*; antifreeze down to approx. -37 °C
Sum of alkaline earths (water hardness): max. 3.6 mmol/l = max. 20° German hardness
= max. 36° French hardness
= max. 25° British hardness
= max. 21° American hardness
*see chapter 4
90 % by volume water
10 % by volume corrosion preventive additive (coolant additive)**; admissible deviation ± 1 % by volume
Sum of alkaline earths (water hardness): max. 2.7 mmol/l C91= max. 15° German hardness
= max. 27° French hardness
= max. 19° British hardness
= max. 16° American hardness
**see chapter 5
Attention:
Do not mix corrosion preventive additives with corrosion preventive/antifreezing agent or processing
agent!
Field of application: at permanent ambient temperatures above the freezing point and if provably
neither released corrosion preventive and antifreezing agent nor coolant additive are available,
the coolant may have the following mixing:
99 % by volume water
1 % by volume processing agent***
Sum of alkaline earths (water hardness): max. 2.7 mmol/l = max. 15° German hardness
= max. 27° French hardness
= max. 19° British hardness
= max. 16° American hardness
***see chapter 6
For topping up, use an emulsion of 0.5 - 1.0 % by volume. Use 1.5 % by volume in case
of new filling or filling after a complete cleaning.
Attention:
Too high concentrations (> 1.5 % by volume) have a detrimental effect on sealings and hoses!
3.1 Disposal
It is not allowed to pass the coolant into the sewerage, but to recycle or dispose it.
The legal regulations or waste water regulations may deviate from country to country but have
to be observed when disposing used coolants.
3.2 Safety
Before using the coolants stated from chapter 4, observe and adhere to the safety data sheets and
product information of the respective supplier.
We do not have a list of the engine manufacturer naming antifreezing agents with corrosion preventive.

is associated for safety instructions and for warning notes at dangerous situations for persons,
at reduction of quality of workmanship and the possibility of damage to property.
Notice
is associated for general notices for a better handling during maintenance of the retarder.
Caution!
At a failure of the retarder, or while the temperature limitation is effective the vehicle speed must be
settled with the service brake.
Notice
Only genuine spare parts may be used for repairs. For inquiries and orders, please provide the following
information (see also Section 2.3):
• Brake-Number
• Basic group-Number
Notice
The used three- or four-digit item numbers in these instructions are corresponding to the item numbers
in the spare part lists in the annex. Items or components shown with an oblique-number are not
available. Items or components with two-digit item numbers are no spare parts and therefore not
available in the spare part lists.
Caution!
Pay attention to absolute cleanliness in maintenance work. Dirt on bearing and sealing surfaces and
electrical contacts may cause considerable damage or operational malfunctions.
Notice
To observe environmental protection you should dispose of drained fuels, coolants and lubricants
professionally.
Notice
Shield retarder proportional valve from direct jet of high-pressure cleaner (steam jet cleaner)!
Notice
In troubleshooting you must not replace parts on suspicion. Warranty work or goodwill work can only be
offered, if the parts involved are demonstrably defective.
To exclude injuries and to avoid impairment of the operational reliability of the retarder or damage to the
retarder as a result of inexpert workmanship, the information and instructions must be read carefully and
complied with in their entirety.
Inevitably, it is impossible for VOITH TURBO GmbH & Co. KG in the last analysis to assess all situations
which might entail the risk of injury for the person carrying out the work. It is therefore imperative that
any person carrying out repair work on VOITH retarders uses his professional knowledge to make sure
that his own safety is not endangered and that the retarder suffers no negative effects, in particular
safety-wise, through the chosen working procedure. For these reasons, no liability can be assumed for
damage incurred.
It is therefore expressly pointed out that all working procedures described must be carried out only in
compliance with the valid general directions and regulations of the locally responsible authorities, of the
health protection, accident prevention and environmental protection organisations.
The technical status of the present instructions can be seen from the updating index. There may be
discrepancies between the actual technical status of the retarders and the descriptions owing to
continuous development and improvement of the retarders.
VOITH TURBO GmbH & Co. KG reserves the right to make modifications at any time and without
prior notification.
Should you have queries about the descriptions, please contact the responsible person in the
appropriate organisation of the country involved or:

Notice
The reference numbers indicated in Section 2.2 are not identical with the reference numbers of the spare parts lists.
A retarder stage switch (16) with a maximum of 5 switching stages is used to control the
VOITH Retarder 133-2. A special version combines the retarder stage switch (16) with ABS,
a 3-stage pedal-operated brake valve or a service-brake pressure switch.
When the retarder stage switch is shifted to position 1, the momentary speed is transferred to memory
and the retarder holds the vehicle speed downhill constant within the limits of the maximum braking tor-
que.
If after activation of „constant speed“ operation the retarder is switched off (0 position), or switched to
braking stage (position 2 to 5), the memorized constant speed is deleted. If the constant speed function
is re-activated, the new present speed is memorized.
When the retarder stage switch is shifted to position 2 to 5, braking stage 1 to 4 is energized.
Maximum braking torque is obtained when the retarder stage switch is in the maximum position.
When the retarder stage switch (16) is operated, an input signal is fed to the control unit (2).
From this input signal, the control unit (2) provides a control current which flows to the
proportional valve (21). a b
The proportional valve (21), depending on the magnitude of the control current, provides a
constant-air pressure py on the oil sump (43).
The constant-air pressure py in the oil sump (43), depending on the operating conditions
(prop shaft speed), forces a certain quantity of oil into the working chamber between rotor (46)
and stator (44).
FD299
The rotor (46) is connected with the retarder drive shaft, the stator (44) is stationary with the retarder The hydrodynamic principle
housing. a Rotor (46)
The rotation of the rotor sets the oil in motion and circulates it in a closed circuit between b Stator (44)
the rotor (46) and stator (44). c Oil flow
The reduction of the velocity of the oil flow in the chambers of the stator (44) leads to braking of
the rotor (46) and consequently to braking of the vehicle.
During braking, the kinetic energy of a deceleration is transformed into heat. To dissipate this heat, part
of the circulating oil is pumped continuously by the rotor (46) through the heat exchanger (3300) and via
filling ducts to join the circulating flow again.
In the heat exchanger (3300), the heat energy of the oil is transferred to the cooling water of the vehicle
and dissipated via the vehicle radiator to the ambient air.
The braking torque and consequently the heat generated are reduced until a balance is obtained
between the braking energy of the retarder and the amount of heat which can be dissipated by
the vehicle cooling system.
If the cooling water temperature rises into the temperature limit range, the consequence is a limitation of
the retarder braking torque to protect the vehicle cooling system. If the temperature rises above the
temperature limit range, there is no more braking torque output.
While the temperature limit is effective or if there is a retarder failure, the service brake must be used to
control the vehicle.
The control unit (2) also cuts back braking torque if oil temperature rises too rapidly, irrespective of actual
oil temperature.
When the retarder is switched off, the compressed air escapes via the auxiliary chambers (68) and the
breather (22) into the open air and simultaneously acts on the sump check valve via the duct (54).
The aluminium disc is pushed upwards by the compressed-air and closes the leakage oil return line (56).
Oil is thus prevented from escaping via the labyrinth selas when the retarder is switched off.
After the retarder has been switched off, the sump flap valve opens again and the oil can level out
between the oil sump (43) and the auxiliary chambers (68).

The present service manual serves as training material of the basics course.
The information and instructions which is given to you furthermore provide the basis for
appropriate and professional maintenance and repair at the VOITH Retarder 133 with Logoprop control.
We ask you firmly to notice the safety and warning notes which you will find in these instructions.
Caution!
is associated for safety instructions and for warning notes at dangerous situations for persons,
at reduction of quality of workmanship and the possibility of damage to property.
Notice
is associated for general notices for a better handling during maintenance of the retarder.
Caution!
At a failure of the retarder, or while the temperature limitation is effective the vehicle speed must be
settled with the service brake.
Notice
Only genuine spare parts may be used for repairs. For inquiries and orders, please provide the following
information (see also Section 2.3):
• Brake-Number
• Basic group-Number
Notice
The used three- or four-digit item numbers in these instructions are corresponding to the item numbers
in the spare part lists in the annex. Items or components shown with an oblique-number are not
available. Items or components with two-digit item numbers are no spare parts and therefore not
available in the spare part lists.
Caution!
Pay attention to absolute cleanliness in maintenance work. Dirt on bearing and sealing surfaces and
electrical contacts may cause considerable damage or operational malfunctions.
Notice
To observe environmental protection you should dispose of drained fuels, coolants and lubricants
professionally.
Notice
Shield retarder proportional valve from direct jet of high-pressure cleaner (steam jet cleaner)!
Notice
In troubleshooting you must not replace parts on suspicion. Warranty work or goodwill work can only be
offered, if the parts involved are demonstrably defective.
To exclude injuries and to avoid impairment of the operational reliability of the retarder or damage to the
retarder as a result of inexpert workmanship, the information and instructions must be read carefully and
complied with in their entirety.
Inevitably, it is impossible for VOITH TURBO GmbH & Co. KG in the last analysis to assess all situations
which might entail the risk of injury for the person carrying out the work. It is therefore imperative that
any person carrying out repair work on VOITH retarders uses his professional knowledge to make sure
that his own safety is not endangered and that the retarder suffers no negative effects, in particular
safety-wise, through the chosen working procedure. For these reasons, no liability can be assumed for
damage incurred.
It is therefore expressly pointed out that all working procedures described must be carried out only in
compliance with the valid general directions and regulations of the locally responsible authorities, of the
health protection, accident prevention and environmental protection organisations.
The technical status of the present instructions can be seen from the updating index. There may be
discrepancies between the actual technical status of the retarders and the descriptions owing to
continuous development and improvement of the retarders.
VOITH TURBO GmbH & Co. KG reserves the right to make modifications at any time and without
prior notification.
Should you have queries about the descriptions, please contact the responsible person in the
appropriate organisation of the country involved or:

Notice
The reference numbers indicated in Section 2.2 are not identical with the reference numbers of the spare parts lists.
A retarder stage switch (16) with a maximum of 5 switching stages is used to control the
VOITH Retarder 133. A special version combines the retarder stage switch (16) with ABS,
a 3-stage pedal-operated brake valve or a service-brake pressure switch.
When the retarder stage switch is shifted to position 1, the momentary speed is transferred to memory
and the retarder holds the vehicle speed downhill constant within the limits of the maximum braking tor-
que.
If after activation of „constant speed“ operation the retarder is switched off (0 position), or switched to
braking stage (position 2 to 5), the memorized constant speed is deleted. If the constant speed function
is re-activated, the new present speed is memorized.
When the retarder stage switch is shifted to position 2 to 5, braking stage 1 to 4 is energized.
Maximum braking torque is obtained when the retarder stage switch is in the maximum position.
When the retarder stage switch (16) is operated, an input signal is fed to the control unit (2).
From this input signal, the control unit (2) provides a control current which flows to the
proportional valve (21). a b
The proportional valve (21), depending on the magnitude of the control current, provides a
constant-air pressure py on the oil sump (43).
The constant-air pressure py in the oil sump (43), depending on the operating conditions
(prop shaft speed), forces a certain quantity of oil into the working chamber between rotor (46)
and stator (44).
FD299
The rotor (46) is connected with the retarder drive shaft, the stator (44) is stationary with the retarder The hydrodynamic principle
housing. a Rotor (46)
The rotation of the rotor sets the oil in motion and circulates it in a closed circuit between b Stator (44)
the rotor (46) and stator (44). c Oil flow
The reduction of the velocity of the oil flow in the chambers of the stator (44) leads to braking of
the rotor (46) and consequently to braking of the vehicle.
During braking, the kinetic energy of a deceleration is transformed into heat. To dissipate this heat, part
of the circulating oil is pumped continuously by the rotor (46) through the heat exchanger (1) and via
filling ducts to join the circulating flow again.
In the heat exchanger (1), the heat energy of the oil is transferred to the cooling water of the vehicle and
dissipated via the vehicle radiator to the ambient air.
This temperature pick-up guarantees that the maximum permissible cooling water temperatures are not
exceeded.
If the cooling water in the return pipe heats up to a preselected value, the constant-air pressure py
decreases linearly over a range of approx. 10°C at the highest braking stage.
The braking torque and consequently the heat generated are reduced until a balance is obtained
between the braking energy of the retarder and the amount of heat which can be dissipated by the
vehicle cooling system.
If the limit range of approx. 10°C is exceeded while braking, graking torque output is stopped to protect
the vehicle cooling system.
While the temperature limit is effective or if there is a retarder failure, the service brake must be used to
control the vehicle.
When the retarder is switched off, the compressed air escapes via the auxiliary chambers (68) and the
breather (22) into the open air and simultaneously acts on the sump check valve via the duct (54).
The aluminium disc is pushed upwards by the compressed-air and closes the leakage oil return line (56).
Oil is thus prevented from escaping via the labyrinth selas when the retarder is switched off.
After the retarder has been switched off, the sump flap valve opens again and the oil can level out
between the oil sump (43) and the auxiliary chambers (68).

Vehicle specific can be installed a line filter within the constant-air pressure line between air tank
for auxiliary equipment and the proportional valve of the retarder control system.
The line filter is designed and in the way installed, to ensure an optimum air flow to the proportional valve
also when filter insert is badly soiled. In this case the compressed air will not be cleaned anymore.
Job scope
Mind fall in pressure in the compressed air circuit for auxiliary equipment (e.g. air springs)!
1. Disconnect constant-air pressure line at the line filter for air tank of auxiliary equipment .
2. Press in the cover (12000/3) and pull out the holding plate (12000/4).
3. Pull out of the filter housing (12000/6) the cover (12000/3) with O-ring (12112),
the pressure spring (12000/5), the intermediate plate (12000/2), the filter insert (12111)
and the pressure spring (12000/1) .
4. Blow out the filter insert (12111) with compressed air from inside out. Check filter insert for
damages and renew if necessary.
5. Insert the pressure spring (12000/1), the filter insert (12111), the intermediate plate (12000/2) and
the pressure spring (12000/5) in filter housing (12000/6).

Cooling Water Quality / Corrosion Preventive and Antifreezing Agent
Position as per: August 1997
Generally the information coming from the vehicle manufacturer is applicable and to be observed!
However, if no information is available, please observe the following specifications.
1. Water
1.1 Use clean water for treatment of the cooling medium, as specified in chapters 2.1, 2.2 and
2.3. Drinking water normally, but not always, meets the requirements. Not suitable are sea water,
brackish water, salt water and industrial waste water. Avoid suspended particles in the water,
especially those containing copper.
For any information required on the water quality please contact the local waterworks or the
water supply plant in charge. In case that information on the water quality is not available
use distilled or demineralized water for mixing. If the water does not meet the admissible
analysis values, treat the water suitably.
2. Composition of coolant
50 % by volume water
50 % by volume corrosion preventive and antifreezing agent*; antifreeze down to approx. -37 °C
Sum of alkaline earths (water hardness): max. 3.6 mmol/l = max. 20° German hardness
= max. 36° French hardness
= max. 25° British hardness
= max. 21° American hardness
*see chapter 4
90 % by volume water
10 % by volume corrosion preventive additive (coolant additive)**; admissible deviation ± 1 % by volume
Sum of alkaline earths (water hardness): max. 2.7 mmol/l C91= max. 15° German hardness
= max. 27° French hardness
= max. 19° British hardness
= max. 16° American hardness
**see chapter 5
Attention:
Do not mix corrosion preventive additives with corrosion preventive/antifreezing agent or processing
agent!
