5. Check the tire pressure
The tire pressure must be normal during the tire use process.
The wheel and tire size required of the tractor are used.
The tire is aging gradually because of sunniness and environmental factors. The tire (spare tire) shall be replaced once every six years at least after use for six
years.
Check whether the pre-filter inlet is blocked with foreign matters to prevent the too high negative pressure of the air intake system; check whether the pre-filter
impeller rotates freely, or otherwise, the pre-filter shall be maintained or replaced to prolong the maintenance period of the air intake system.
Check whether the pipe between the pre-filter outlet and supercharger inlet is damaged, if so, it shall be blocked timely and replaced with new pipe, or
otherwise, it will causes serious early wear of the engine.
(3) Check the indicator light of air filter blocking alarm
Check whether the indicator light of air filter blocking alarm (as shown in Figure 3.8) gives an alarm and it is lit if the air filter is Filter blocking
blocked. In case of an alarm, do check timely whether the metal and paper filter elements are blocked, and they shall be

1. Turn on main power switch
Connect up the hand braking. The gear shift lever is put in the neutral position. Turn the key switch to start the engine.
The charging indicator light goes out after the engine starts.
Note: 1. If it fails the first time the engine starts, the key switch shall be put in gear 2 again to restart.
2. Every starting time is not more than 15s and the interval between two starts is not less than 30s.
After the engine starts, observe the pressure value of the oil pressure gauge and meanwhile the oil pressure indicator light shall go out.
Warning: never make the cold engine runs at high speed! If the oil pressure gauge does not work after the engine starts, the engine shall stall
immediately and maintain it.
The superchargers of different engines are located at different positions. MC07/MT07 engine supercharger is in middle of the right side of the engine,
,WD615/WT615 and D10/T10 engine superchargers are installed at upper back of the engine. The supercharger consists of the turbine component and pump
pulley component. The exhaust gas from the engine blows the turbine to rotate and drive the coaxial pump pulley to rotate at high speed, to deliver the
compressed air into the engine intake duct to boost the intake pressure so as to increase the engine power. The speed of rotor in the supercharger is high, and
the lubrication of rotor bearing is forced lubrication and the pressure-feed lubrication is provided by the main oil duct of the engine. The engine shuts down and
the oil supply stops.
Attention should be paid at the time of operation:
①. The engine shall run at idle speed for 3-5 min at the time of start; do not slam on the accelerator; apply the load after the engine oil pressure and
temperature are normal (especially start in cold day), or otherwise it easily causes the early wear of the bearing and sealing ring for lack of oil.
② At the time of stalling, the engine shall run at idle speed for 3-5 min and can stall after the supercharger speed is reduced. Particularly note that
do not slam on the accelerator before stalling, the supercharge will be realize high speed for the engine speed suddenly rises for slam on the
accelerator, the engine stalls suddenly now, the engine oil pump stops oil supply, the supercharger rotor still runs at high speed because of inertia,
the rotor spindle, bearing and sealing ring will be burnt up for lack of oil.
③ The pre-lubrication must be conducted for the supercharger before the engine restarts after a long-term shutdown. The pre-lubrication is realized
by disassembling the inlet tube of the supercharger and pouring appropriate clear lubricating oil from oil inlet, or otherwise, the initial start will
have early wear for lack of oil.
Note: The engine temperature is high after overloading work, so it stalls after running 3-5 min. When the pressure does not reach the required
pressure value, the engine cannot stall normally (this is normal phenomenon), the engine can stall normally after the pressure reaches the required
pressure value.
IV. Starting and gear shit
(I). Starting
After the engine starts, if the air pressure is low and warning light is lit, do not start. After the charge pressure reaches 0.55MPa and the warning light goes out,
loosen the hand brake handle and ready to start. Before the air pressure in the air cylinder (read from the double-pointer barometer) reaches 0.7Mpa, the
tractor does not completely reach the state suitable for running; only after that, the brake can reach the required brake performance.
(2) The tractor must stop completely from forward gear to reverse gear or in reverse.
(3) The sliding in neutral gear is strictly prohibited, or otherwise, it seriously damages the gearbox.
(4) Pay attention to supervision of the temperature of the engine and gearbox at the time of running.
(5) When the tractor is dragged because of failure, especially it is dragged for a long distance for engine stalling, the transmission shaft shall be disconnected
or make the driving wheel off the ground. The gear shift lever is in neutral gear when the tractor with mechanical gearbox is dragged.
(6) In case of worse road conditions, the tractor runs by adjusting the gearbox to the gear 4 or less.
2. Precautions
1). Check whether the gear selector displays the neutral gear when the tractor starts, that is, the gear selector displays N;
2). The idle speed of the engine shall be about 600RPM, and too high or low idle speed may cause that the transmission cannot put into gear;
3.) Under any condition, when the tractor with automatic gearbox keeps in the neutral gear, do hold the brake to prevent the accidental movement of the tractor;
4). When change the direction and gear, the tractor must stop completely, switch the gear through N gear and the gear selector shall display corresponding
gear;
5). When carrying out the gear shift operation, if the code of selected gear is flashing, it means that the current operation is suppressed and the gearbox is still
in previous gear before this operation;
6).If the tractor has the gear locked during the running process, do not stall the tractor right immediately and keep the current gear to drive it to appropriate
parking position or repair plant;
If stall the tractor now, the tractor may be unable to select the gear when it restarts;
a. When the tractor starts, gently step on the accelerator and do not slam on it, which can save the fuel oil.
b. At the time of pit stop or stopping at a red light for a long time, shift the gearbox gear to neutral gear, which can help saving the fuel oil.
c. Loosen the accelerator to let the tractor slide before stop or stopping at a red light, avoiding the brake stop, which can save the fuel oil.
d. Do step on the accelerator and do not slam on it during the running process, which can shift the gear faster and save the fuel oil.
e. Guarantee correct oil level of the gearbox, which can improve the gear shift performance and save the fuel oil.
(2) Precautions of the tractor with mechanical gearbox
1). At the time of gear shift, the clutch is released completely, avoiding the gear shift failure and early wear of engaging teeth or synchronizer. Check the correct
clutch release and required padel clearance often.
2). The full-load start must use the gear 1 or creeper gear.
3).The creeper gear is only used for ramp and full-load start or running on bad road. Put into reverse gear and creeper gear only when the tractor is in the stop
state.
4). The gear shift lever must be pulled stably during the gear shift process until the gear is fully engaged.
Saving tips
a. The tractor tries to run at high gear during the running to ensure the engine operating condition in economic speed range.
b. When the tractor accelerates, the “gear skipping” (skip a gear) operation is allowed to make full use of engine power.
c. The tractor shall put into high gear at the time of downhill driving to make full use of engine brake.
d. Pay close attention to road condition, use the neutral gear, and make the tractor run by using the inertial.
e. Do not frequently use the emergency foot braking or suddenly speed up when unnecessary.
(III). Power take-off (PR70 power take-off can be added for 4×2 tractor with ZF mechanical gearbox)
1. Power take-off engagement
Step the clutch pedal, press the power take-off switch to engage the power take-off, and the driver’s display screen will display corresponding information; shift
the gear and loosen the clutch pedal.
Step the clutch pedal, press the power take-off switch and after 3s, and loosen the clutch pedal to disengage the power take-off. Meanwhile, the operation
information of power take-off on the driver’s display screen disappears.
Power take-off
Clutch pedal

Figure 4.1
(IV). Clutch control
1. Operating parameters and structure characteristics of clutch control system
The clutch control system uses the hydraulic control and pneumatic power-assisting mechanism, as shown in Figure 6.1 and it is simple in operation.
When step on the clutch pedal, the piston of hydraulic master cylinder moves backward, the brake liquid in liquid chamber enters the liquid chamber of power
cylinder along the oil pipe, and the brake liquid acts on the working piston as the working pressure and on the air pressure control valve as control pressure to
separate them, make the compressed air enter the air chamber of the power cylinder, jointly push the working piston to act on the track bar to drive the clutch
release lever, and drive the release bearing by release fork to separate the clutch.
2. Assembly and adjustment of clutch control system
(1) Check and adjust the clearance between the master cylinder push rod and piston.
At the time of assembly, gently screw the pull rod with hands to adjust the length until reaching the piston, and then screw it back for a thread to guarantee the
clearance between the push rod and piston of 0.7mm - 1mm, and the tighten the nut. The clearance shall not exceed 1mm, or otherwise, it will reduce the
effective stroke of master cylinder, affecting the clutch release result.
(2) Check and adjust the free stroke of push rod of power cylinder
The clutch release bearing shall have a free stroke of 2mm - 3mm to prevent the bearing from long-term press work and early damage, so the push rod of the
power cylinder shall have a free stroke of 6mm - 8mm. At the time of assembly and adjustment, the return spring is not installed, the piston and push rod are
pushed by the preloaded spring in the power cylinder to reach the clutch release lever, now adjust the limit bolt to keep the clearance between the bolt top and
holder of 1mm, tighten the jam nut, and then install the return spring.
There is air in the hydraulic system of the clutch, the effective stroke of piston push rod of power cylinder will be reduced, so the clutch release is not thorough
and the gear engagement is difficult. At the time of assembly or disassembly of oil pipe, loosen the vent valve of power cylinder first, feed the brake liquid with
required brand in the oil storage tank, feed it as step on the clutch pedal until the liquid overflows from vent valve, and then tighten the vent valve. To fast and
thoroughly exhaust the air in the system, the sectioning exhaust method is used. Exhaust the air in the front end of oil pipe, fast floor the clutch pedal 2 or 3
times and keep it at the time of exhaust, unscrew the union nut of master cylinder, the air in the front end is exhausted here, tighten the joint nut and loosen the
pedal, and just repeat the above actions 4 – 6 times. The aforesaid method can be used to exhaust the air in the rear end of oil pipe at the vent value of power
cylinder.
Special remarks:
1. Note that loosen the pedal after the vent valve or union nut is tightened during the exhaust process to avoid suction air. The pedal shall be
lifted to top to help the brake liquid in the oil storage tank filling into the liquid chamber of the master cylinder.
The inspection standard of correct judgment of exhaust of air in the hydraulic system of the clutch is that step on the clutch pedal and the effective
stroke of push rod of power cylinder reaches 20mm - 25mm, and the exhaust continues when the stroke is less than 20mm.
2. The clearance shall be adjusted for the first time of maintenance of new tractor. In the use, the tractor should be checked and adjusted at every
second-class maintenance, that is, the tractor runs 12,000km, and the tractor should be checked and adjusted at every first-class maintenance, that
is, the tractor runs 4,000km. Pull the clutch release lever with hands and there shall be clearance at the end of limit bolt.
3. The working medium of hydraulic system must use “Laike” DOT3 brake liquid produced by Fujian Nan'an Petrochina Chemical Plant. At the
time of disassembly of oil pipe, the union nut and joint are sealed with Loctit572 thread sealant.
4. When replace the brake liquid, the residual liquid in hydraulic system must be cleared away, and use the brake with designated brand and of the
same batch uniformly.
(V). Stopping
(1) The engine temperature is high after overloading work, so it stalls after running 3-5 min.
(2) Directly turn off the key switch at the time of stalling.
(3) The parking brake handle shall be put to 2 “brake” position when the tractor stops.
(4) The operation can be conducted only under normal air pressure of the tractor.
V. Vehicle brake
The brake system of this vehicle includes energy supplying device, service brake (foot brake), parking and emergency brake device (hand brake), auxiliary
brake (engine exhaust brake) and trailer brake.
When the ponding occurs in any air reservoir, the drying tank needs to be replaced.
List of total gas storage capacity of each model
Front driving axle Rear driving axle Parking brake Auxiliary air consumption Total gas storage capacity
Welded frame model 30L 30L 20L - 80L
Riveted frame model 30L 30L 20L 20L 100L
In a short time, the continuous multiple fully braking may also cause the pressure drops below 0.55MPa.
Leakage inspection: After the engine stops, and the hand brake is connected, the pressure drop is at most 0.05MPa within 2 hours or at most 0.0lMPa within
30 minutes.
(III). Emergency and parking brake
The hand brake can serve as emergency brake and parking brake concurrently, which functions through the spring storage brake cylinder on the rear axle (or
dual rear axle). The parking brake is realized by manipulating the hand brake valve handle. When the brake system fails, driven by the energy storage spring,
the emergency brake can be realized automatically.
Only when the brake system pressure reaches 0.55MPa and after the hand brake signal light is off can the spring brake be fully released.
When the vehicle is in the traveling process, if the main brake suddenly fails, the parking brake handle may be lifted immediately. The brake strength varies
with the handle lifting angle, which can realize “cadence braking”.
Before the engine start, the hand brake valve must be put in the braking position. Otherwise, after the brake system pressure rises, the original
parking brake function will disappear.
The hand brake handle is set on the instrument panel at the driver’s right side.
At this moment, the traveling vehicle may use engine energy as the auxiliary brake.
When descending the long slope, be sure to use the exhaust brake. Using exhaust brake on the
icy, snowy, muddy pavement may reduce sideslipping. The exhaust brake may be used when
passing each other, passing the poor section, etc. to decelerate in advance.
Using exhaust brake can reduce the main brake use frequency, reduce the wear and heating of
tire and wheel brake, extend its service life, reduce the fuel consumption, and improve the driving
safety.
When the pipe connecting the spring brake causes self-braking due to leakage, the brake may be released
when the bolt on the cylinder is screwed out to release position.
Note: 1. Before releasing the spring brake cylinder, engage 1 gear and check whether the service brake
(foot brake) is normal. Figure 5.3
2. When releasing the spring brake cylinder on the inclined pavement, choke the wheel to prevent the
vehicle sliding.
The gas-charging connector is set on the tail beam air reservoir (Figure 5.3). Gas-charging
connector
Screw up the charging hose on the gas-charging connector, then it can charge air for tires, and can also
charge air for the vehicle through the external air source.
The welding, cutting or drilling near the plastic pipe for braking shall conform to the following provisions:
Cover the pipe for fear of damage from spark, flame and burning cuttings;
Figure 5.3
The maximum temperature of allowable heating of pressure less pipe is 130C, and the duration is 1 hour.
Warning: You must firstly disconnect the battery power and try to unplug the electrical connectors connected with electronic components (master
control, drive, instrument and ECU, etc.)!
Note: Using two different varieties of anti-freezing liquid is not allowed. Figure 6.1
To replace the anti-freezing liquid of different varieties, the cooling system shall be cleaned thoroughly.
The water gathered in the air reservoir shall be let out promptly to prevent freezing, and the attention shall be paid to checking the
operating condition of air dryer (as shown in Figure 6.1).
Under normal circumstances, the service life of desiccant in the dryer is two years. If there is water pollution discharge in the air reservoir,
this means that the desiccant has lost efficacy, and the drying cylinder shall be replaced immediately.
(III). Battery
The liquid level and proportion of battery electrolyte shall be checked for every three months. The liquid level shall be 10- 15mm higher
than polar plate, and the proportion shall be above 1.24g/cm 3. If the vehicle is not used for long time, and the temperature is low, the battery
may as well be taken down and put in the warm interior. When the vehicle travels for every 500km, the inspection shall be made to confirm
whether the connecting clamp of battery electrode pile and wire is loose and whether the battery condition is normal.
VII. Wheel replacement and tire pressure
1. The attention shall be paid to consistence of tire tread and forwarding direction during the wheel replacement (as shown in Figure 7.1).
2. The attention shall be paid to no bumping of thread on the wheel bolt during the wheel replacement.
3. The paint, lubricating grease and other dirt must not be pasted on the fitting surface of brake drum and rim.
4. The clamping surface of wheel nut shall be clean, without dirt or oil stain.
5. Before the wheel mounting, the wheel alignment hole and the outer circle matched on the
wheel rim reducer casing shall be wiped clean, and shall be applied with a little grease.
6. A little grease, oil or other anti- occlusion agent shall be applied on the thread of wheel
bolt and wheel nut.
7. All the thread of wheel nut shall be right-hand thread. After mounting the wheel, tighten
the nut according to the diagonal cross sequence under the condition of wheel suspension,
then put down the wheel, and tighten the nut at the torque of 550-600Nm. (The wheel nut
sleeve is WG9100850002)
8. After every tire remounting, the wheel nut shall be tightened again after traveling 50km.
Later, the wheel nut re-tightened shall be checked after every traveling of 1,000km.
Figure 7.1
VIII. Running-in of new vehicle
1. The running-in period requires that total engine operating hours reach 100 hours.
2. Before running-in, make the routine inspection to ensure the vehicle in the normal operating condition.
3. The vehicle shall travel on the flat and good pavement in the running-in period.
4. The new vehicle shall not tow heavy-duty trailers within the running-in period.
5. Check and control the engine oil pressure and normal temperature of cooling liquid.

III. Clutch control system (mechanism case)
The clutch matched for this series model is φ420 periphery-mounted spiral spring clutch. This clutch is a push-type clutch, and Figure 11.1 is the push-type
clutch control device figure.

1. Clutch pedal assembly 2. Return spring 3. Clutch drive cylinder push rod 4. Clutch oil tank
5. Clutch drive cylinder 6. High-pressure oil pipe 7. Clutch booster cylinder 8. Booster cylinder holder 9. Disengaging swing arm
(I). Operating principles
The clutch control system uses the hydraulic control and pneumatic power-assisting structure. When the clutch pedal is pressed down, the drive cylinder
pushes the piston to move forward, then pushes the brake fluid to enter the hydraulic control chamber of the clutch booster cylinder along the oil pipe. On
one hand, the brake fluid functions on the piston as operating pressure, and on the other hand, it serves as the control pressure to regulate and control the
air pressure of the booster cylinder air chamber. When the compressed air enters the booster cylinder air chamber, the pneumatic power-assisting is
produced, then to push the piston together to make the booster cylinder push rod move, push the rotation of disengaging swing arm, thus separating the
shifting fork to drive the backward motion of release bearing so as to separate the clutch.
The clutch drive cylinder, clutch oil tank and clutch pedal assembly, etc. are arranged on the front periphery of cab. The drive cylinder is connected to the
clutch booster cylinder arranged on the chassis through the high-pressure hose. The clutch control part shares one holder with the brake control part. The oil
tank is directly installed on the clutch drive cylinder, and the brake fluid can be filled outside the cab when the radiator cover is opened.
5. Pedal travel: maximum travel of 200mm, free travel of 35-40mm, pull type of 25mm
When adjusting, push the pedal gently by hand to feel that the master cylinder push rod is jacked up to the master cylinder piston, and adjust the position of
upper stopper bolt to make the clearance between upper stopper bolt and clutch pedal reach about 1mm, then tighten the nut at the stopper bolt. Guarantee
a clearance of 0.5mm-1mm reserved between push rod and piston. This clearance shall not exceed 1mm, otherwise the effective travel of master cylinder
will be reduced, and the clutch disengaging effect will be affected.
Press down clutch pedal to the end; at this moment, the operating travel of the clutch master cylinder push rod assembly shall not be less than 32mm, and at
this moment, the clutch pedal assembly shall have pushed the clutch brake control valve to make it move 3-5mm. Fix the clutch brake control valve, and
tighten the bolt at the clutch brake control valve, then adjust the stop screw on the combination pedal bracket to make its head against the clutch pedal
assembly (when pressing down clutch pedal to the end so as to prevent the clutch brake control valve falling off from the combination bracket due to carrying
force separately.
3. Check and adjust the clearance at the release bearing (push-type clutch)
There shall be a 2mm-3mm clearance at the clutch release bearing to guarantee that the release bearing will produce no burning loss or clutch semi-
disengaging due to long-time operation under stress within the next maintenance period. When adjusting, push the disengaging swing arm to the clutch
disengaging direction until unable to be pushed forward by hand, and adjust the booster cylinder push rod to make its tail contact with the booster cylinder
piston, then adjust the push rod locking nut to make the clearance between it and the push rod forkhead keep within 3-5mm, finally rotate push rod to make
the nut contact with the push rod fork, and tighten the nut.
If there is air in the hydraulic clutch system, the effective travel of booster cylinder push rod will decrease, causing incomplete clutch disengaging and
difficulty in engaging a gear. When assembling or dismounting the oil pipe, firstly release the booster cylinder venting valve, add the brake fluid of specified
brand in the oil tank, make up the brake fluid when pressing down the clutch pedal until spilling over at the venting valve, and tighten the venting valve. Then
press down the clutch for no releasing after quickly pressing down it for many times, release the booster cylinder venting valve until no air escaping out, and
tighten the venting valve. Repeat the above steps for 2-3 times, and this can fully discharge air in the hydraulic system.
(IV). Precautions
1. In the exhaust process, the attention shall be paid to no releasing of pedal before the venting valve or union nut is tightened for fear of air aspiration. The
pedal shall be lifted to the maximum height so that the brake fluid in the oil tank can be made up to the master cylinder hydraulic chamber. The inspection
standard to correctly judge that the clutch hydraulic system air has been fully discharged is to press down the clutch pedal, with the effective travel of booster
cylinder push rod reaching 25mm. The air discharge shall continue when the effective travel is less than 25mm.
2. It is recommended that the operating medium of hydraulic system use “Laike” DOT3 brake fluid. During the assembly and disassembly of oil pipe,
Loctit572 thread sealant may be used to seal the place of union nut and joint.
3. During the replacement of brake fluid, the residual liquid in the hydraulic system shall be fully removed, and the brake fluid of specified brand shall be
uniformly replaced.

Oil filler pipe
a. Oil gauge: For the oil gauge scale as shown in Figure 12.2, the range between characters of COLD
ADD and CALD FULL is oil level of cold oil level, in the lower part of the oil gauge, while the range
between characters of HOT ADD and HOT FULL is hot oil level, above the cold oil level.
Hot oil level
b. Cold inspection: The so-called cold inspection is the oil level inspection when the gearbox oil
temperature is ambient temperature (16-49℃). The purpose of cold inspection is to have sufficient
gearbox oil for hot inspection. The steps are as follows:
4) Wait for a period of time to make the oil level balanced, take out the oil gauge, and check to
confirm the oil level in the cold position, namely between COLD ADD and CALD FULL. Otherwise add or
discharge to make it reach this position. Oil gauge scale
Figure 12.2
c. Hot inspection: The so-called hot inspection is to check the gearbox oil level when the gearbox oil temperature reaches 71-93℃ for the first time. At this
moment, take out the oil gauge, and the oil level shall be in the hot position, namely between HOT ADD and HOT FULL. Otherwise add or discharge to make
it reach this position.
Warning: ※ The oil level shall be checked when it is in the “not tighten” or looseness position to ensure the oil gauge is stretched into the oil
pipe bottom. ※ If the gearbox “stalling” method is adopted to speed up the oil temperature rise, the vehicle brake shall be confirmed to be
enough to prevent vehicle motion, thus to ensure safety. ※ Before the oil level is confirmed to meet the requirements, the gearbox shall avoid
long-time running during the hot inspection to prevent the gearbox damage due to insufficient lubrication.

The oil level shall be ensured to parallel with the oil filling port. With the oil level checked through the cone-shape oil filling port on the shell flank, the oil level
may be filled to the hole where the spillover occurs.
3. Operating temperature
The maximum temperature of transmission during continuous operation shall not exceed 120℃, and the minimum temperature shall not be lower than -40℃.
When the operating temperature exceeds 120℃, the lubricating oil will be decomposed, and the transmission life will be shortened.
When the new transmission travels 2,000-5,000km, the lubricating oil must be replaced.
The oil level height and leaking conditions of lubricating oil shall be checked to make up at any time for every traveling of 10,000km
5. Dragging or sliding
During the transmission operation, the transmission shaft and gear rotate constantly, which can provide adequate lubrication for the transmission. But when
the vehicle is dragged under the condition of rear wheel landing and transmission system connection, the countershaft gear and main shaft gear of main tank
do not rotate, and the main shaft is driven by rear wheel for high-speed rotation, which may cause serious damage to the transmission.
The same consequence may be also produced when the transmission is engaged in neutral gear for sliding.
When the vehicle needs dragging, the half shaft may be drawn out or the transmission shaft may be disengaged, and the driving wheel may be dragged
away from the ground.

level.
g. During the power turn-off control, firstly press down clutch pedal to the end, then press the power take-off switch, wait for a moment, and release after
the power take-off is normal.
The power take-off is a set of transmission gears, also known as power output device, which provides power for the equipment requiring extra power. The
power take-off for port vehicles is mainly used for saddle lifting system, and services as the power source of
lifting pump. Generally the engine rear power take-off method is adopted. PR70 power take-off is optional for
ZF mechanical transmission model.

4. Use maintenance
When the gear meshing of transmission mechanism connected with the power take-off is poor, and the related connecting bolts of power take-off is loose,
the abnormal sound will occur. Check the fastening bolt of each component; meanwhile, pay attention to viewing the conditions of lubricating oil, clean the
dirt promptly, and keep each component clean, intact, without collision, scratch. In addition, check the connecting pipe between power take-off and oil pump
frequently, and if there is looseness, damage, falling, fracture, replace promptly.
V. Axle
(I). Front axle
1. Structure overview
Figure 13.1
The front axle (as shown in Figure 13.1) is a fist type I-shape rigid special front axle, which is mainly composed of the middle front beam and the knuckle and
hub, etc. hinged at both ends of the front beam. The front beam is the integral forging fist-type I-shape beam, and its middle part adopts the concave curve
structure. The titling both ends on the front beam present the fist shape, and the round hole on it is used for installing master pin, thus the inclination angle of
master pin is guaranteed.
2. Maintenance of front axle

The Steyr ST16 rear drive axle is the central one-level reduction and wheel planetary
reduction two-stage drive axle, with the total speed ratio of i=10.77. According to different
drive types, there are also duplex drive axle and single rear axle two kinds. The steel plate
punched axle housing makes the drive axle and vehicle have better matching attribute.
After traveling 5,000km, replace the lubricating oil filled when assembling, and
check the oil level once for every traveling of 5,000km or for every month;
Replace the lubricating oil once for every traveling of 150,000km or for every year;

2. Axle maintenance
a. Clean the dirt, dust on the rear axle breather plug frequently.
b. Check the oil filler plug and oil drain plug frequently, and if there is oil leakage, tighten or replace the sealing washer promptly.
c. As the half axle flange transmission torque is torque, and there exists the impact load, check the fastening condition of half axle bolts to prevent looseness
and fracture of the half axle bolts arising therefrom.

VI. Brake system
(I). Brake system structure requirements
1 Functions required for the brake system: service brake, parking brake, emergency brake;
3 The service bake must function on all the wheels, with even braking effect.
6 If one circuit fails, the other circuit pressure must be protected to make the residual brake force can effectively stop the vehicle.
The air compressor is air source for the entire vehicle gas path. At present, Sino Truck equips with WABCO double-cylinder air compressor that has the
synchronous level with Europe’s most advanced heavy-duty truck engine, and under the Europe’s service conditions, its service life reaches 1500,000KM.
The single-cylinder air compressor is in the high load operating state for long time due to small discharge capacity, thus easily causing break of crankshaft,
linkage of air compressor and large expelling of engine oil. The double-cylinder air compressor has large discharge capacity and short operating period,
which greatly improves reliability, life of the air compressor itself, thus reducing the power consumption. The temperature and oil expelling of compressed air
are obviously reduced, causing the reliability of various valve components of the truck brake system are promoted greatly, then the safety and
maneuverability of entire vehicle will become better. Under the traveling condition of descending a long slope, the compressed air can be made up promptly
to ensure there is sufficient compressed air in the brake system, and ensure the traveling safety.
2. Air processing unit (APU)
APU (as shown in Figure 9.1) is an assembly of air dryer and four circuit protection valve. The air dryer uses
molecular sieve as desiccant to clean, dry the compressed air from the air compressor. The built-in reflux valve
substitutes the 5L air reservoir, which saves more installation cost and installation space. The reflux valve
allows a certain amount of pressure to blow back the drying cylinder, and the back flowing process is
controlled through accurate pressure difference. The four circuit protection valve is used for restricting and
protecting the system pressure. Therefore, APU provides a complete, simple, effective air processing system
for the automotive air brake system.
The main brake valve is a device used to control and manipulate the main brake system work, and to make the
brake pressure and brake controlling force (or pedal travel) form a certain proportional relation. The internal
combustion tractor adopts the double circuit dual-chamber main brake valve. Figure 9.1
The function of main brake relay valve (as shown in Figure 9.2) is to shorten the brake reaction time, which plays the
role of “fast charge” and fast discharge for the main brake chamber. Figure 9.2
With long axle base, large total capacity of automobile (middle) rear axle brake chamber, and long distance to the
main brake valve, therefore, the brake reaction time from the brake pedal being pressed down to reaching the
corresponding value of chamber pressure is too long. Thus a relay valve is installed in the nearest position to the
(middle) rear axle brake chamber, which is supplied of air directly by the air reservoir through a thick main piping,
then is controlled by the main brake valve through a thin piping.
5. Brake chamber
The function of front brake chamber is to input different pressure and produce different thrust, then through the brake
cam and brake shoe, the brake drum will produce braking of different strength to the front axle. The middle rear axle is a combined brake chamber, and its
function is not only to produce effect on the (middle) rear axle main brake, but also to implement the parking and emergency brake.
(III). Brake system fault and solution

8. The brake drum is out of round; bore the brake drum.
As the main ingredient of LNG is methane, and the composition in the various places is different. Its density is generally within 426-470kg/m3. With more
methane content, the density will be smaller. The density of LNG is also the function of temperature, and the higher the temperature is, the density will be.
Therefore, the priority shall be given to methane during the explanation of property. The required accurate physical parameters shall be provided by a LNG
manufacturer.
The high-purity LNG is colorless, odorless transparent liquid. Because of low boiling point, when it is observed, the liquid generally has strong boiling. When
it is exposed to the air, due to condensation of steam in the air, lots of steam cloud will appear.
The ignition point of LNG is 650℃, higher than the ignition point of gasoline, diesel, LPG, and its ignition energy is also higher than gasoline, diesel,
therefore, it is more difficult to ignite than gasoline, diesel, LPG. The combustion range of LNG is small, generally 5-15%. The LNG steam above -106.7℃ is
lighter than air, which will immediately volatilize once there is leakage, and it is difficult to form the density that produces the combustion and explosion in
case of fire. Therefore, whether LNG or its steam will not explode in a non-closed environment.
When the LNG leaks at ambient environment, it will evaporate rapidly to produce lots of natural gas to form the steam cloud. Therefore, smoking or open
flame is not allowed in the place storing, loading and unloading or using LNG, otherwise the danger, even the personal injury may be caused.
If the LNG leaks in a closed environment or in the space with heat source (without ignition source), as it may become steam, and the volume expands
rapidly, there is also risk of explosion. Therefore, the place for storing LNG shall be open, ventilated as required so that the steam can spread out.
When the density of LNG in the air exceeds 1%, the operating personnel shall evacuate the scene.
LNG fire characteristics: The fire flame propagation velocity is fast, and the mass burning rate is large, about 2 times of gasoline. The flame has
high temperature and strong radiating heat, easily forming the large-area fire. It has recrudescence, repeated explosion, and is difficult to be
extinguished.
Notes: Fire fighting
The purpose of fire fighting is mainly to extinguish the fire source or control the flame propagation. Firstly cut off the leaking source, then control the
combustible, and extinguish the fire source. When extinguishing the fire source, choose correct extinguishing agent, and for LNG, the best extinguishing
agent is dry chemical powder extinguishing agent (potassium carbonate). When using dry powder to extinguishing the flame, it is like thick cloud to cover the
flame to reduce heat radiation. The high temperature makes dry powder let out crystal water or produce decomposition, which can not only absorb some
heat, but also can reduce the oxygen density in the combustion zone.
The excessive accumulation of LNG may cause thinning of oxygen density in the air, and people in the environment may suffer coma, injury, even
suffocation. When the oxygen volume in the air is below 20%, the operating personnel shall notice that he shall evacuate when the oxygen content further
decreases.
When the operating personnel loses consciousness due to oxygen deficiency, he shall be excavated from the site immediately, and given with artificial
respiration. If the operating personnel stops breathing, he shall be immediately given with artificial respiration, and sent to the hospital for treatment. When
the oxygen density in the air is <10%, and the LNG density is >50%, bringing permanent injury to human body, under this circumstance, the staff shall not
enter LNG zone.
3) Low temperature
As the temperature of LNG is very low, if it contacts with body skin, the serious frostbite may be caused due to rapid gasification of liquid, also called cold
burn. If it contacts with room temperature pipes and equipment, the phenomenon of brittle fracture may be caused.
(1) When the skin is bonded to the low temperature surface, use the method of heating by hot water to unfreeze skin, then move away the frozen part, and
send the injured to a warm place (about 22℃).
(2) Remove all clothes that hinder the blood circulation of frozen part.
(3) The frozen part shall receive water bathing, and the water temperature shall be 41℃-46℃. Using the method of drying or direct heating is not allowed. If
the water temperature exceeds 46℃, the injury to body composition of frozen part will aggravate.
(4) The injured shall be immediately sent to the hospital for further treatment.
(5) If the injured have large-area frostbite, and their body temperature has fallen, the injured need to be soaked in the water of 41℃-46℃, then shall be sent
to the hospital as early as possible.
(6) The frozen body part begin to feel pain, swelling after heating, if the injury condition is not serious, the frozen part shall be heated slowly, continuously
until the skin changes from grey white to pink or red.
(7) The injured are not allowed smoking, drinking, because this may reduce the blood volume flowing to the frozen organization. The tetanus vaccine shall
be injected to prevent infection.
4) LNG also has the characteristics of easy evaporation, easy diffusion, flowing, etc.
The LNG supply system for vehicle is composed of special vehicle-mounted low-temperature insulated cylinder, filling port, safe flow-limiting device, LNG
vaporizer, regulator, pressure indicating device, etc., and its process is shown in the following figure:

Figure 10.1
Essential conditions for air supply: The pressure in the LNG storage cylinder shall be always 0.2Mpa higher than the intake pressure required for the
engine. The outlet pressure setting of the pressure regulating valve on the air supply pipeline shall be 0.05-0.1Mpa higher than the intake pressure required
for the engine.
The pressure setting of our company’s MT07 series engine regulator is 0.55MPa, and the pressure setting of WT615 series engine regulator is 0.85MPa.
In order to keep the pressure in the cylinder higher than the engine intake pressure, we adopt a gas cylinder with the self-pressurization system:
For the gas cylinder with self-pressurization, the gas filling station does not regulate the temperature of LNG. The pressure of LNG saturated steam shall be
as low as possible, which can facilitate the storage of LNG, and reduce the venting loss of gas station. When the LNG is filled in the vehicle cylinder, it will
carry on self-pressurization until being 0.2Mpa higher than the engine intake pressure, and will carry on automatic pressure regulation. The normal operating
temperature of LNG cylinder is above -162℃. When the temperature of LNG is higher than -130℃, the self-pressurization system can be closed.
• The air supply process is as follows: After the LNG is delivered to the water-bath type vaporizer through the cylinder flow-limiting valve for being
vaporized into gaseous state, and its temperature rises, then its pressure will drop through regulator to the set value to enter the engine
• Supply air temperature control: Generally the required intake air temperature range of the engine is -20℃-40℃. If the intake air temperature is too high
or too low, the water intake of vaporizer hot water may be regulated.

Generally the gas cylinder receiving the initial filling, stopping work for more than two weeks and receiving maintenance is called “hot cylinder”. For the filling
of hot cylinder, the liner temperature of gas cylinder must be cooled to the LNG temperature, which shall be carried on according to the following procedures:
(1) Confirm that the gas filling station or the vehicle installed with gas cylinder has been well earthed.
(2) Open the protective cap of low-temperature liquid inlet and air return joint.
(3) Visually check valve, joint, pipe of the gas cylinder to confirm there is no leakage and no missed component.
(4) Use dry nitrogen to purge (or use clean, dry cotton yarn to wipe) the low-temperature liquid inlet and air return joint to ensure no water, impurity.
(5) If needed, connect the reclaiming nozzle and air return joint, and screw the reclaiming nozzle of 90°.
(6) Confirm that the gas filling hose is matched with the low-temperature liquid inlet, and connect the gas filling hose and low-temperature liquid inlet.
(7) Open the gas filling station pump, and fill liquid in the gas cylinder. When the air-charging machine displays about 30L, stop filling.
(8) Open the gas cylinder vent valve to make the pressure drop to 0.3MPa, then close the vent valve.
Warning: When venting, the attention shall be paid to: The gas vented shall return to the big storage tank in the gas filling station or discharged
to a safe place.
(9) Let the gas cylinder cool for about 10 minutes, and during this period, the pressure of gas cylinder will rise.
(10) Observe the gas cylinder pressure gauge. If the gas cylinder pressure is high, the filling can be carried on only after venting, and the steps shall be in
accordance with the provisions of Paragraph 8 of this article.
(11) Reopen the gas filling station for filling until the air-charging machine stops automatically.
(12) Confirm that the vent valve (VV) has been closed, and dismantle the gas filling hose and reclaiming nozzle.
(13) Cover the protective cap of low-temperature liquid inlet and air return joint.
2. Conventional filling
The conventional filling means that for the gas cylinder normally used, its liner is in the low-temperature state and there is part of liquid when filling.
(1) Confirm that the gas filling station or the vehicle installed with gas cylinder has been well earthed.
(2) Open the protective cap of low-temperature liquid inlet and air return joint (C2).
(3) Visually check valve, joint, pipe of the gas cylinder to confirm there is no leakage and no missed component.
(4) Use dry nitrogen to purge (or use clean, dry cotton yarn to wipe) the low-temperature liquid inlet and air return joint to ensure no water, impurity.
(5) If needed, connect the reclaiming nozzle and air return joint, and screw the reclaiming nozzle of 90°.
(6) Confirm that the gas filling hose is matched with the low-temperature liquid inlet, and connect the gas filling hose and low-temperature liquid inlet.
(7) Observe the gas cylinder pressure gauge. If the gas cylinder pressure is high, the filling can be carried on only after venting. Open the gas cylinder vent
valve to make the pressure drop below the pressure required for air-charging machine, then close the vent valve (when venting, the attention shall be paid
to: the gas vented shall return to the big storage tank in the gas filling station or discharged to a safe place).
(8) Open the gas filling station pump for filling until the air-charging machine stops automatically.
(9) Confirm that the vent valve has been closed, and dismantle the gas filling hose and reclaiming nozzle.
(10) Cover the protective cap of low-temperature liquid inlet and air return joint.
Attention: 1) Before filling, observe whether the gas cylinder surface has the phenomenon of condensation or frosting. It is suggested that the
gas cylinder with such phenomenon should not be filled, and should be returned to the manufacturer for repair.
2) Check whether the gas cylinder has pressure. If the pressure is zero, carry on purging, air-tight test to the gas cylinder, then fill after being
qualified.
Warning: 1) Before filling liquid, check whether there is water, impurity in the low-temperature liquid inlet, and ensure that the water and impurity
has been fully cleaned up when filling liquid.
2) If there is water, when filling liquid, the water may rapidly condense into ice. The ice may block the feeding one-way valve, low-temperature
liquid inlet, and may even enter the cylinder. The blocking causes the low-temperature liquid inlet, feeding one-way valve cannot be closed
tightly, producing leakage, even causing damage to the sealing surface. If the ice enters the gas cylinder inside, it may be blocked at the
discharging one-way valve, causing obstruction of liquid supply, and making the engine have insufficient power, even failure to start.
3) If there is impurity, when filling liquid, the impurity may cause the feeding one-way valve, low-temperature cannot be closed tightly, and may
even cause damage to the sealing surface. Meanwhile, if the engine front end is not provided with a filter, the impurity may cause damage to the
engine.
Attention: For a fully filled gas cylinder, its pressure rises rapidly, which may cause the safety valve open. Therefore, the fully filled gas cylinder
must be used as early as possible, and the long-time storage is forbidden.
Warning: When venting to the atmosphere, the vented air shall be led to a safe place, otherwise the risks of fire and explosion may be caused.
(1) When the gas cylinder is initially used and the pressure is below the engine needs; (2) The gas cylinder is after the calibration of safety valve, pressure
gauge;
(3) The gas cylinder is repaired after venting; (4) The pressure set for the pressurization regulating valve is below the pressure required for engine.
2. Pressurization process
(1) Confirm the use valve and vent valve in the closed state; (2) Open the booster valve, and at this moment, the booster pipeline begins frosting.
(3) When the pressure reaches stable, and at this moment, the booster pipeline begins defrosting. If the pressure at this moment still cannot meet the engine
needs, the pressurization regulating valve needs to be adjusted. If the gas cylinder needs to supply liquid externally, it is not necessary to close the booster
valve.

(1) Judgment of set value for the pressurization regulating valve
① If the booster coil does not frost, and the pressure of the gas cylinder pressure gauge does not change, with the progress of use, when the pressure drops
to a fixed value, the value displayed on the pressure gauge is the set value for economical valve, which means that the set pressure of pressurization
regulating valve is less than the value displayed on the gas cylinder pressure gauge at this moment.
② If the booster coils frosts, and the pressure of the gas cylinder pressure gauge raises gradually, this means that the set pressure for pressurization
regulating valve is more than the value displayed on the gas cylinder pressure gauge. With the progress of time, when the pressure rises to a fixed value, the
value displayed on the gas cylinder pressure gauge is the set value for pressurization regulating valve.
② Unscrew the ② locking nut, then screw the ① adjusting screw clockwise. When screwing, judge the required number of turns according to the difference
of actual value and set value of the pressurization regulating valve.
③ After screwing, the self-pressurization coil will frost, and the pressure of gas cylinder will rise. When observing that the pressure is stable or the frost of
self-pressurization coil becomes cellular or changes into water, the value displayed on the gas cylinder pressure gauge at this moment is the set value for
pressurization regulating valve.
④ If the pressure fails to reach the set value, repeat the above steps. When the pressure reaches the required value, tighten the ② locking nut.
② Close the pressurization stop valve, then drop pressure to the required set value by using or venting.
③ Unscrew the ② locking nut, then screw the ① adjusting screw counterclockwise.
④ Then open the pressurization stop valve, and observe whether the pressure rises.
If it rises, repeat the above steps until the pressure reaches the required value.
Reminder: (1) The pressure for one turn increases / decreases by about 0.2MPa.
(2) When the pressurization regulating valve leaves the factory, the set pressure is 0.86MPa.
Attention: (1) It is suggested to screw 1/4-1/2 turn as criterion for every time when screwing.
(2) If the set value after adjustment is higher than the required set value, please carry on according to the steps for being adjusted to low, without screwing
back randomly.
4. Liquid output
(1) Confirm that the set value of pressurization regulating valve and the pressure of gas cylinder meet the engine needs.
(2) If the pressure of gas cylinder is over 0.3MPa higher than the engine pressure, carry on emission treatment to the gas cylinder.
(3) After the pressure of gas cylinder is 0.1MPa higher than the engine pressure, open the use valve slowly.
(4) After the engine is operating normally, the opening of use valve may be enlarged.
Reminder: If the pressure of gas cylinder is too high or the use valve is opened too fast initially, this may cause the restrictor valve off, and engine out.
Attention: Under the circumstance of normal supply, the vaporizer is supplied with liquid fuel. But when the economical valve is opened, it is the
gas-liquid two-phase hybrid fuel flow, and the gas occupies a larger proportion.

pressure gas cylinder) ③ Stop valve ④ Pressure gauge ⑤ Economical valve to be adjusted
Figure 10.4
1. Off-line adjustment
Debugging steps:
(2) Confirm all valves in the closed state, and confirm the adjusting screw of ⑤ economical valve to be adjusted in the fully loosened state.
(3) Open the high-pressure nitrogen cylinder valve slowly, then open the pressure of ③ stop valve for test, and check the leakage of pipeline.
(4) Open the high-pressure nitrogen cylinder valve, and adjust the outlet pressure of ② depressurization regulating valve to equal to the economical valve
pressure to be set.
Reminder: The economical valve pressure shall be 0.05MPa-0.1MPa higher than the pressure of pressurization regulating valve.
(5) Screw the economical valve adjusting screw clockwise until no gas produces from the economical valve outlet. At this moment, the pressure displayed on
the pressure gauge is the set pressure of economical valve.
2. On-line adjustment
During the on-line adjustment, firstly judge the set value of economical valve, then adjust the adjusting screw according to the pressure needing to be
adjusted.
(1) Unscrew the ② locking nut, then screw the ① adjusting screw counterclockwise / clockwise.
(2) When screwing the adjusting screw, the amplitude shall not be too large, and it is suggested to screw 1/4-1/2 turn as criterion.
Reminder:
(1) The pressure for one turn increases / decreases by about 0.2MPa.
(2) When the pressurization regulating valve leaves the factory, the set pressure is 0.86MPa.
2. Leakage detecting
A portable methane detector may be used to detect the natural gas leakage point of the gas system (it shall be correctly used in accordance with the
detector manufacturer’s instructions). To ensure the normal operations of vehicles, the system leakage detecting shall be carried on regularly, and any
leakage points found shall be immediately repaired. When it is difficult to judge the leakage points with the detector under some special conditions, the soap
solution may be used to detecting the leakage points.
3. Parts replacement
If the pipe fitting leaks, dismantle it and check strictly. If the nut and sleeve appearance has no damage, use continuously, reinstall the pipeline and screw
the nut, finally make the pressure leak test.
In case of valve leakage, carry on in accordance with Valve Structure and Maintenance.
Warning: During the repair and replacement of valves, pipe threads and pipe fittings, the safety measures described in the requirements of Safety
Summary and Safety Protection must be met, otherwise personal injury may be caused.
4. Vacuum failure
Generally, with the vacuum failure, the gas cylinder may appear the phenomenon of cylinder body frosting or sharp pressure rise in the cylinder, etc. But for
a new cylinder or a gas cylinder unused for long time, as its liner temperature is high, the pressure also rises fast when filling liquid, and this phenomenon
should be normal.
The excessive pressure rise may be taken as one of the basis to judge the vacuum failure of gas cylinder. The gas cylinder shell is provide with a vacuum
plug, and in case of vacuum failure of the gas cylinder, the vacuum plug will become loose (normally, the vacuum plug is compressed tightly by atmospheric
pressure). In normal times, the vacuum plug outside is covered with a plastic protective cap. Do not open the protection cap or vacuum plug. When finding
the vacuum failure of gas cylinder, please send to the manufacturer for repair.
VIII. Central control system
