1. Starting Switch

A starting (key-turn) switch is located on the right

~
side of the instrument panel. It has four positions
- "SOLENOID-FUEL (SHUT-OFF)," "OFF", "RUN-
ACCESSORIES," AND "START.II In addition, in
the interest of safety, a pushbutton starting switch
is provided to the right and below the key switch.
To actuate the starter, turn the key switch to the

"STARr' position and depress the pushbutton start- (PUSH ~UTTON) ~

ing switch at the same time. (This can be accom-

plished with one hand.)

Release both switches as soon as the engine starts.

In the event that the engine does not continue to
run after the first few revolutions, the switches
must be released from the JJST ARm position in
order to give the starter time to stop spinning.
A second application of the switches in the JJST ARm
position may then take place. After the engine
starts and the switches are released, the key switch
snaps back to the JlON JJ position and the ammeter
and fuel gauge should operate immediately fol-
lowed by the rest of the gauges. To stop the engine,
the key must be turned thru the center or "OFF JI
position to JJSOLENOID-FUEL JI position on the
extreme left and held in that position until the

engine stops. In the SOLENOID-FUEL position, a
fuel shut-off solenoid is actuated to cut the supply
of fuel to the engine. When the engine stops, the
key may be released from the "SOLENOID-FUEL"
position and will automatically snap back to the
iJOFP' position. While the key is being held in the
JJSOLENOID-FUEL" position, the gauges and ac-
cessories will continue to work.

 FOREWORD

This book is written for the purpose of giving the operator essential information
regarding the day-to-day care, adjustments, and lubrication of the tractor loader.
Economical operation will be assured if these instructions are followed.

The instructions in this book cover the operation of the "Allis-Chalmers" Model
TL 30D Diesel Tractor Loader. A close adherence to the instructions will result
in many hours of trouble-free operation and a Zonger life for the unit.

Many owners of "Allis-Chalmers" equipment employ the "Allis-Chalmers" Dealer's

Service Department for all work other than routine care and adjustments. This is
encouraged as the dealers are kept well informed by the factory regarding advanced
methods of servicing "Allis-Chalmers" products and are equipped to render satis-
factory service.

To assure the best results and to maintain the original quality built into the tractor
loader, always use ''Allis-Chalmers'' Parts obtained through your ''Allis-Chalmers''
Dealer.

 GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The Model TL 30D Diesel Tractor Loader is a 28,400
pound (with standard bucket), four wheel drive, loader
unit powered with a 6 cylinder direct injection, turbo-
charged diesel engine.
Power from the engine is transmitted directly to the
single-stage type torque converter. Torque, which is
increased a maximum of 2.61 to 1 in the converter,
is then transmitted to the full-power-shift transmis-
sion. The engine supplies power to the hydraulic sys-
tem pump whenever the engine is running. Forward
and reverse direction in any speed range is trans-
mitted from the transmission through the universal
drive shafts, to both the front and the rear differ-
entials and axles.
The transmission provides 3 forward speeds, and 3
reverse speeds, ranging from 4.3 M.P.H. in low to 30
M.P.H. in high, at the rated engine speed of 2200
R.P.M. (governed full load).
Operation of the loader i-: accomplished hydraulically
by the transmission mounted hydraulic pump, a control
valve with two control levers, two lift cylinders, two
dump cylinders, and the necessary hydraulic lines.
There are no exposed hoses or fittings located in or
around the operator's compartment. The hydraulic
tank, located behind the operator's seat, provides a
mount for the control valve and incorporates the nec-
essary tubing and safety valves. Short external pres-
sure hoses on each side of the operator's compart-
ment carry oil to the lift and dump cylinders.

"""-'.
The loader design provides top visibility, strength,
and servicing accessibility. The loader main frames
are mounted to the axles with heat-treated pins. The,
rear stabilizer shroud and the heavy steel seat frame
are welded together with the side braces to provide
a rigid box construction. This provides a mount for
the boom, the hydraulic cylinders, and other loader
linkage. The boom assembly, of heavy steel plates,
gives added assurance of long life at heavy-duty work.
Levers, pedals, gauges, etc., are well situated in the
operator's compartment sothat full control of the trac-
tor loader can be maintained at all times.
standard equipment includes: bucket level indicator;
hi-traction differential; lift and dump cylinders with
chrome plated piston rods; cast cowl and steel plates
around the operator; Six-way adjustable seat; heavy
duty bumper; drawbar; torque converter and full
power-shift transmission; rear axle disconnect; air
brakes and mechanical parking brake; power-booster
steering; electric starter; generator and generator
regulator; lights and horn; oil bath air cleaner; oil
filter; turbocharger, and hour meter.
Optional equipment includes: a heater and defroster,
operator's cab, special tire eqUipment; and hydraulic
system accumulator.
Special eqUipment includes: Lift Fork; Cranehook;
Lift Tongs; Dozer Blade; Winch, and bucket teeth.
 TRANSMISSION, ENGINE, AND LOADER SERIAL NUMBERS

On all parts orders and in all correspondence rela-

tive to the loader, it is necessary that the loader
model and serial number be given. All major com-
ponents of the loader (such as, engine, transmission,
hydraulic pump, hydraulic control valve, power steer-
ing pump and front and rear axles), have serial num-
bers which should also be given to properly identify
the unit and component. These will assure obtaining
the correct replacement parts.

The loader serial number is located on the name-

plate attached to the left rear of the seat frame in the
operator's compartment as shown in Fig. 2.

The engine serial number is located on the nameplate

on the right Side of the engine block as shown in Fig. 3.

The transmission serial number is located on a name-

plate on the left side of the housing as shown in Fig. 4.

NOTE
The terms "LEFT HAND" and "RIGHT HAND"
as referred to in this Manual (unless otherwise
specified) are determined by sitting in the oper-
ator's seat facing the front or bucket end of the Figure 4. Transmission Serial Number
