13.4 Compressed air test for piston and splitter

cylinder
3
1 Screw support plate 1X56 137 917 (1) for splitter
cylinder (2) onto centre housing (3). 1
2 Supply compressed air (max. 6.8 bar) to 5/2-way
valve and piston.
3 Wet outer edge of splitter cylinder and check for
bubbles (leaks).
4 Supply compressed air to piston in opposite direc-
tion and check if air escapes through 5/2-way
valve.
5 If bubbles form, fit new O-rings if necessary and 2
check correct location.
6 If air escapes, renew double-grooved ring on
piston.

 Installing Range-Change Housing 16 S 221, 16 S 181, 8 S 181

14 Installing complete range-change

1 Fit new gasket (1) onto centre housing (2).

NOTE: There must 3 cylindrical pins in centre
housing.
2 Fit 2 hex bolts to range-change housing to allow 1
range-change to be suspended from a rope and
positioned horizontally against centre housing.

CAUTION 2
Secure hex bolts with nuts. Ensure rope is firmly
secured.

Hint: Use threaded pins on centre housing to sim-

plify positioning of range-change.
3 Push range-change against centre housing (2).
Turn output flange to bring planet gear train and
mainshaft teeth into mesh if necessary.
4 Remove hex bolts and rope when range-change is
held against centre housing. 3

5 Slide range-change (3) parallel to centre housing 2

and bolt together.
Tightening torque = 49 Nm.
6 Switch piston to end position (high or low group).
