NOTES:
FOREWORD
This Shop Manual is written for use by the service technician and is designed to help the technician become fully
knowledgeable of the truck and all its systems in order to keep it running and in production. All maintenance personnel should read and understand the materials in this manual before performing maintenance and/or operational
checks on the truck. All safety notices, warnings and cautions should be understood and followed when accomplishing repairs on the truck.
The first section covers component descriptions, truck specifications and safe work practices, as well as other general information. The major portion of the manual pertains to disassembly, service and reassembly. Each major serviceable area is dealt with individually. For example: The disassembly, service and reassembly of the radiator
group is discussed as a unit. The same is true of the engine and engine accessories, and so on through the entire
mechanical detail of the truck. Disassembly should be carried only as far as necessary to accomplish needed
repairs.
The illustrations used in this manual are, at times, typical of the component shown and may not necessarily depict
a specific model.
This manual shows dimensioning of U.S. standard and metric (SI) units throughout and all references to Right,
Left, Front, or Rear are made with respect to the operator's normal seated position, unless specifically stated
otherwise.
Standard torque requirements are shown in torque charts in the general information section and individual torques
are provided in the text in bold face type, such as 100 ft.lbs. (135 N.m) torque. All torque specifications have 10%
tolerance unless otherwise specified.
A Product Identification plate is normally located on the truck frame in front of the right side front wheel and designates the Truck Model Number, Product Identification Number (vehicle serial number), and Maximum G.V.W.
(Gross Vehicle Weight) rating.
The KOMATSU Truck Model designation consists of three numbers and one letter (i.e. 830E). The three numbers
represent the basic truck model. The letter E designates an Electrical propulsion system.
The Product Identification Number (vehicle serial number) contains information which will identify the original manufacturing bill of material for this unit. This complete number will be necessary for proper ordering of many service
parts and/or warranty consideration.
The Gross Vehicle Weight (GVW) is what determines the load on the drive train, frame, tires, and other components. The vehicle design and application guidelines are sensitive to the total maximum Gross Vehicle Weight
(GVW) and this means the total weight: the Empty Vehicle Weight + the fuel & lubricants + the payload.
To determine allowable payload: Service all lubricants for proper level and fill fuel tank of empty truck (which
includes all accessories, body liners, tailgates, etc.) and then weigh truck. Record this value and subtract from the
GVW rating. The result is the allowable payload.
NOTE: Accumulations of mud, frozen material, etc. become a part of the GVW and reduces allowable
payload. To maximize payload and to keep from exceeding the GVW rating, these accumulations should be
removed as often as practical.
Exceeding the allowable payload will reduce expected life of truck components.

MAJOR COMPONENT DESCRIPTION

The KOMATSU Model 830E Truck is an electric
drive, off-highway, rear dump truck whose gross
vehicle weight is 850,000 lbs. (385 553 kg) (240 255 ton nominal payload).
OPERATORS CAB
ALTERNATOR (G.E. GTA-26)
The Operators Cab has been engineered for operator comfort and to allow for efficient and safe operation of the truck. The cab contains an integrated
ROPS and is fully insulated to reduce noise and
vibration. The tinted safety-glass windshield and side
windows provide excellent visibility. The seat is a
comfortable, adjustable suspension seat, the steering wheel provides tilt and telescoping adjustments
and controls are mounted within easy reach of the
operator. The instrument panel provides the operator
with instruments and gauges that are necessary to
control and monitor the trucks operating systems
and is marked with international symbols for easy
identification of functions.
The alternator is mounted in-line with the engine. The

alternating current (AC) output of the alternator is
rectified to direct current (DC) and sent to the wheel
mounted DC drive traction motors.
DYNAMIC RETARDING
ENGINE
This Model 830E Truck is powered by a Komatsu
SDA16V160 diesel engine rated at 2500 hp (1864
kW) @ 1900 RPM. The radiator, engine, alternator,
and blower are mounted on a separate subframe to
provide fast, easy removal and installation of the
power module.
BLOWER
The dual impeller, in-line blower supplies cooling air
for the alternator, rectifiers, and both traction motors.
The air is exhausted to atmosphere through the
wheel motors.
Dynamic retarding is used to slow the truck during

normal operation or control speed coming down a
grade. The dynamic retarding ability of the DC electric system is controlled by the operator by depressing the foot operated retarder pedal and/or setting
the RSC (Retarder Speed Control) on the instrument
panel. Dynamic Retarding is automatically activated
if truck exceeds the overspeed setting.
WHEEL MOTORS
Traction motors located within each rear wheel structure receive electrical energy from the alternator. The
two traction motors convert electrical energy back to
mechanical energy through built-in gear trains within
the wheel structure. The direction of the drive motors
is controlled by a forward or reverse hand selector
switch located on a console in the cab to the right
side of the operator.
BRAKE SYSTEM
The braking system consists of an all hydraulic actuation system. Depressing the brake pedal actuates
wheel-speed single disc front brakes and armaturespeed dual disc rear brakes. The brakes can also be
activated by operating a switch on the instrument
panel. The brakes will be applied automatically if system pressure decreases below a preset minimum.
POWER STEERING
The Komatsu truck is equipped with a full time power
steering system which provides positive steering
control with a minimum of effort by the operator. The
system includes a nitrogen-charged accumulator
which automatically provides emergency power if the
steering hydraulic pressure is reduced below an
established minimum.
A02063
SUSPENSION
HYDRAIR II suspension cylinders located at each
wheel provide a smooth and comfortable ride for the
operator and dampens shock loads to the chassis
during loading.

A03020
A3-3
PRECAUTIONS WHEN USING ROPS
If ROPS is installed, the ROPS must never be removed when operating the machine.
The ROPS is installed to protect the operator if the machine should roll over. It is designed not only to support
the load if the machine should roll over, but also to absorb the impact energy.
The ROPS installed on equipment manufactured and designed by Komatsu America Corp. fulfills all of the
regulations and standards for all countries, but if it is modified or repaired without authorization from Komatsu
America Corp., or is damaged when the machine rolls over, the strength will drop and it will not be able to fulfill
its function properly. It can only display its performance if it is repaired or modified in the specified way.
When modifying or repairing the ROPS, always consult the authorized regional Komatsu distributor.
Even if the ROPS is installed, it cannot show its full effect if the operator does not fasten the seat belt properly.
Always fasten the seat belt when operating.
PRECAUTIONS FOR ATTACHMENTS
When installing and using optional equipment, read the instruction manual for the attachment and the
information related to attachments in this manual.
Do not use attachments that are not authorized by Komatsu America Corp., or the authorized regional
Komatsu distributor. Use of unauthorized attachments could create a safety problem and adversely affect the
proper operation and useful life of the machine.
Any injuries, accidents, and product failures resulting from the use of unauthorized attachments will not be the
responsibility of Komatsu America Corp., or the authorized regional Komatsu distributor.
PRECAUTIONS ON STARTING MACHINE
START THE ENGINE FROM THE OPERATORS SEAT ONLY.
NEVER ATTEMPT TO START THE ENGINE BY SHORTING ACROSS THE

STARTER TERMINALS. This may cause fire, or serious injury or death to anyone in
machines path.

A03020
PRECAUTIONS DURING OPERATION

SAFETY IS THINKING AHEAD
Prevention is the best safety program. Prevent a potential accident by knowing the employer's safety requirements and all necessary job site regulations. In addition, know the proper use and care of all the safety equipment
on the truck. Only qualified operators or technicians should attempt to operate or maintain the Komatsu Truck.
Safe practices start before the operator gets to the equipment!
SAFETY AT WORKSITE
When walking to and from the truck, maintain a safe distance from all machines even if the operator is visible.
Before starting the engine, thoroughly check the area for any unusual conditions that could be dangerous.
Examine the road surface in the job site and determine the best and safest method of operation.
Choose an area where the ground is as horizontal and firm as possible before carrying out the operation.
If you need to operate on a road, protect pedestrians and cars by designating a person for work site traffic duty
or by installing fences around the work site.
The operator must check personally the work position, roads to be used, and existence of obstacles before
starting operations.
Always determine the travel roads in the work site and maintain them so that it is always safe for the machines
to travel.
If travel through wet areas is necessary, check the depth and flow of water before crossing the shallow parts.
NEVER be in water which is in excess of the permissible water depth.
FIRE PREVENTION
Thoroughly remove wood chips, leaves, paper and other flammable things
accumulated in the engine compartment. These could cause a fire.
Check fuel, lubrication, and hydraulic systems for leaks. Have any leaks
repaired. Wipe up any excess oil, fuel or other flammable fluids.
Be sure a fire extinguisher is present and working.
Do not operate the machine near any flame.
PREPARING FOR OPERATION
Always mount and dismount facing the truck. Never attempt to mount or dismount the truck while it is in motion.
Always use handrails and ladder when mounting or dismounting from the truck.
Check the deck areas for debris, loose hardware or tools. Check for people and objects that might be in the
way.
Become familiar with and use all protective equipment devices on the truck and insure that these items (antiskid material, grab bars, seat belts, etc.) are securely in place.
VENTILATION FOR ENCLOSED AREAS
If it is necessary to start the engine within an enclosed area, provide adequate

ventilation. Exhaust fumes from the engine can KILL.
A03020
A3-5
IN OPERATOR'S CAB - BEFORE STARTING ENGINE
Do not leave tools or spare parts lying around in the operator's compartment or allow trash to accumulate in
cab of truck. Keep all unauthorized reading material out of truck cab.
Keep the cab floor, controls, steps, and handrails free of oil, grease, snow, and excess dirt.
Check the seat belt, buckle and hardware for damage or wear. Replace any worn or damaged parts. Always

under the direction of a signal person. Courtesy at all times is a safety precaution!
A3-6
A03020
Report immediately to supervisor any conditions on haul road, pit or dump area that may cause an operating
hazard.
Check for flat tires periodically during shift. If truck has been run on a flat, it must not be parked in a
building until the tire cools. If tire must be changed, do not stand in front of rim and locking ring when
inflating tire mounted on the machine. Observers should not be permitted in the area and should be kept away
from the side of such tires.
Tire and rim assembly may explode if subjected to excessive heat. Personnel should move to a remote or
protected location if sensing excessively hot brakes, smell of burning rubber or evidence of fire near tire
and wheel area.
If the truck must be approached, such as to fight a fire, those personnel should do so only while facing the
tread area of the tire (front or back), unless protected by use of large heavy equipment as a shield. Stay at
least 50 ft. (15 m) from the tread of the tire.
In the event of fire in the tire and wheel area (including brake fires), stay away from the truck at least 8
hours or until the tire and wheel are cool.
Keep serviceable fire fighting equipment at hand. Report used extinguishers for replacement or refilling.
Always have parking brake applied when the truck is parked and unattended. DO NOT leave truck unattended
while engine is running.
When parking, park a safe distance from other vehicles as determined by supervisor.
Stay alert at all times! In the event of an emergency, be prepared to react quickly and avoid accidents. If an
emergency arises, know where to get prompt assistance.
CHECK WHEN TRAVELING IN REVERSE

Before operating the machine or work equipment, do as follows:
Sound the horn to warn people in the area. For machines equipped with a
back-up alarm, check that the alarm works properly.
Check that there is no one near the machine. Be particularly careful to check
behind the machine.
If necessary, designate a person to check the safety. This is particularly

necessary when traveling in reverse.
When operating in areas that may be hazardous or have poor visibility, designate a person to direct work site
traffic.
Do not allow any one to enter the line of travel of the machine. This rule must be strictly observed even on
machines equipped with a back-up alarm or rear view mirror.
TRAVELING
When traveling on rough ground, travel at low speed. When changing direction, avoid turning suddenly.
Lower the dump body and set the dump lever to the FLOAT position when traveling.
If the engine should stop when the machine is traveling, the emergency steering system will be activated.
Apply the brakes immediately and stop the machine as quickly and safely as possible, and off the haul road, if
possible.
A03020
A3-7
TRAVELING ON SLOPES
Traveling on slopes could result in the machine tipping over or slipping.
Do not change direction on slopes. To ensure safety, go down to level ground before turning.
Do not travel up and down on grass, fallen leaves, or wet steel plates. These materials may make the machine
slip on even the slightest slope. Avoid traveling sideways, and always keep the travel speed low.
When traveling downhill, use the retarder to reduce speed. Do not turn the steering wheel suddenly. Do not use
the foot brake except in an emergency.
If the engine should stop on a slope, apply the service brakes fully stop the machine and apply the parking
brake after the machine has stopped.
ENSURE GOOD VISIBILITY
When working in dark places, install work lamps and head lamps, and set up lighting in the work area if
necessary.
Stop operations if the visibility is poor, such as in mist, snow, or rain, and wait for the weather to
improve to a condition that allows the operation to be carried out safely.
OPERATE CAREFULLY ON SNOW
When working on snowy or icy roads, there is danger that the machine may slip to the side on even the
slightest slope, so always travel slowly and avoid sudden starting, turning, or stopping.
Be extremely careful when carrying out snow-clearing operations. The road shoulder and other objects are
buried in the snow and cannot be seen. When traveling on snow-covered roads, always install tire chains.
AVOID DAMAGE TO DUMP BODY
When working in tunnels, on bridges, under electric cables, or when entering a parking place or any other
place where there are height limits, always drive extremely carefully and lower the dump body completely
before driving the machine.
DO NOT GO CLOSE TO HIGH-VOLTAGE CABLES
Going close to high-voltage cables can cause electric shock. Always maintain the safe distance given below
between the machine and the electric cable.

A03020
WHEN DUMPING
Before starting the dumping operation, check that there is no person or object behind the machine.
Stop the machine in the correct position, and check again that there is no person or object behind the machine.
Give the determined signal, then slowly operate the dump body. If necessary, use blocks for the wheels or
position a flagman.
When carrying out dumping operations on slopes, the machine stability will become poor and there is danger
that it may tip over. Always carry out such operations extremely carefully.
Do not travel with the dump body raised.
WORKING ON LOOSE GROUND
Avoid operating the machine too close to the edge of cliffs, overhangs, and deep ditches. If these areas
collapse, the machine could fall or tip over and result in serious injury or death. Remember that the soil after
heavy rain or blasting is weakened in these areas.
Earth laid on the ground and the soil near ditches is loose. It can collapse under the weight or vibration of the
machine. Avoid these areas, if possible.
WHEN LOADING
Check that the surrounding area is safe, stop the machine in the correct loading position, then load the body
uniformly.
Do not leave the operator's seat during the loading operation.
PARKING THE MACHINE
Choose a horizontal road surface to park the machine. If the machine has to be parked on a slope, always put
blocks under all the wheels to prevent the machine from moving.
When parking on public roads, provide fences and signs, such as flags or lights, on the machine to warn
pedestrians and other vehicles. Be sure that the machine, flags, or lights do not obstruct the traffic.
Before leaving the machine, lower the dump body fully, set the parking lever to the PARKING position, stop the
engine, then lock everything. Always take the key with you.
TOWING
WHEN TOWING, FIX WIRE TO HOOK
Towing in the wrong way may lead to serious personal injury or damage.
When using another machine to tow this machine, use a towing device with ample strength for the weight of
this machine.
Never tow a machine on a slope.
Do not use any towing rope that has kinks or is twisted.
Do not stand astride the towing cable or wire rope.
When connecting a machine that is to be towed, do not let any one come between the towing machine and the
machine that is being towed.
Set the coupling of the machine being towed in a straight line with the towing portion of the machine, and
secure it in position.
(For towing method, see Section A, Operating Instructions, TOWING.)

A3-9
BATTERY
BATTERY HAZARD PREVENTION
Battery electrolyte contains sulfuric acid and can quickly burn the skin and eat holes in clothing. If you spill acid
on yourself, immediately flush the area with water.
Battery acid could cause blindness if splashed into the eyes. If acid gets into the eyes, flush them immediately
with large quantities of water and see a doctor at once.
If you accidentally drink acid, drink a large quantity of water or milk, beaten egg or vegetable oil. Call a doctor
or poison prevention center immediately.
When working with batteries ALWAYS wear safety glasses or goggles.
Batteries generate hydrogen gas. Hydrogen gas is very EXPLOSIVE, and is easily ignited with a small spark of
flame.
Before working with batteries, stop the engine and turn the starting switch to the OFF position.
Avoid short-circuiting the battery terminals through accidental contact with metallic objects, such as tools,
across the terminals.
When removing or installing, check which is the positive (+) terminal and negative (-) terminal.
Tighten the battery cap securely.
Tighten the battery terminals securely. Loosened terminals can generate sparks and lead to an explosion.
STARTING WITH BOOSTER CABLES
ALWAYS wear safety glasses or goggles when starting the machine with booster cables.
When starting from another machine, do not allow the two machines to touch.
Be sure to connect the positive (+) cable first when installing the booster cables. Disconnect the ground or
negative (-) cable first when removing them.
If any tool touches between the positive (+) terminal and the chassis, it will cause sparks. This is dangerous, so
be sure to work carefully.
Connect the batteries in parallel: positive to positive and negative to negative.
When connecting the ground cable to the frame of the machine to be started, be sure to connect it as far as
possible from the battery.

PRECAUTIONS FOR MAINTENANCE

BEFORE CARRYING OUT MAINTENANCE
WARNING TAG
If others start the engine or operate the controls while you are performing
service or lubrication, you could suffer serious injury or death.
ALWAYS attach the WARNING TAG to the control lever in the operator's
cab to alert others that you are working on the machine. Attach additional
warning tags around the machine, if necessary.
These tags are available from your Komatsu distributor.
Part No. 09963-03000
PROPER TOOLS
Use only tools suited to the task. Using damaged, low quality, faulty, or
makeshift tools could cause personal injury.
STOPPING THE ENGINE BEFORE SERVICE
When carrying out inspection or maintenance, always stop the machine on firm flat ground, lower the dump
body, then stop the engine.
If the engine must be run during service, such as when cleaning the radiator, always move the shift control
lever to the Neutral (N) position and set the parking brake lever to the PARKING position. Always carry out the
work with two people. One person should sit on the operator's seat to stop the engine if necessary. NEVER
move any controls not needed to operate.
When servicing the machine, be careful not to touch any moving part or get clothing caught.
Put blocks under the wheels.
When carrying out service with the dump body raised, always place the dump lever at the HOLD position, and
apply the lock (if equipped). Install the body-up safety pins (or cable) securely.
SECURING THE DUMP BODY

Any time personnel are required to perform maintenance on the vehicle with the dump body in the raised
position, the body-up retention cable MUST be
installed.
1. To hold the dump body in the up position, raise the
body to it's maximum height.
2. Remove cable (3) from its stored position on the
body, and install between rear body ear (1) and axle
housing ear (4).
3. Secure the cable clevis pins with cotter pins.
4. Return the cable to stored position (2) after maintenance is complete.
A03020
A3-11
DURING MAINTENANCE
PERSONNEL
Only authorized personnel can service and repair the machine. Extra precaution should be used when
grinding, welding, and using a sledge-hammer.
ATTACHMENTS
Place attachments that have been removed from the machine in a safe place so that
they do not fall. If they fall on you or others, serious injury could result.
WORK UNDER THE MACHINE
Always lower all movable work equipment to the ground or to their lowest position
before performing service or repairs under the machine.
Always block the tires of the machine securely.
Never work under the machine if the machine is poorly supported.
KEEP THE MACHINE CLEAN
Spilled oil or grease, or scattered tools or broken pieces are dangerous

because they may cause you to slip or trip. Always keep your machine clean
and tidy.
If water gets into the electrical system, there is danger that the machine may
not move or may move unexpectedly.Do not use water or steam to clean the
sensors, connectors, or the inside of the operator's compartment.
Use extreme care when washing the electrical control cabinet. Do not allow
water to enter the control cabinet around the doors or vents. Do not allow
any water to enter the cooling air inlet duct above the electrical control cabinet. If water enters the control
cabinet (through any opening or crevice) major damage to the electrical components is possible.
Never spray water into the rear wheel electric motor covers. Damage to the wheel motor armature can occur.
Do not spray water into the retard grids. Excess water in the retard grids can cause a ground fault, which will
prevent propulsion.
RULES TO FOLLOW WHEN ADDING FUEL OR OIL
Spilled fuel and oil may cause slipping. Always clean up spills immediately.
Always tighten the cap of the fuel and oil fillers securely.
Never use fuel for washing any parts.
Always add fuel and oil in a well-ventilated place.
A3-12
A03020
RADIATOR WATER LEVEL
If it is necessary to add water to the radiator, stop the engine and allow the
engine and radiator to cool down before adding the water.
Slowly loosen the cap to relieve pressure before removing the cap.
USE OF LIGHTING
When checking fuel, oil, coolant, or battery electrolyte, always use lighting
with anti-explosion specifications. If such lighting equipment is not used,
there is danger or explosion.
PRECAUTIONS WITH BATTERY
When repairing the electrical system or when carrying out electrical

welding, remove the negative (-) terminal of the battery to stop the flow
of current.
HANDLING HIGH-PRESSURE HOSES
Do not bend high-pressure hoses or hit them with hard objects. Do not use any bent or cracked piping, tubes or
hoses. They may burst during use.
Always repair any loose or broken fuel hoses or oil hoses. If fuel or oil leaks, it may cause a fire.
PRECAUTIONS WITH HIGH PRESSURE OIL
Do not forget that the work equipment circuits are always under pressure.
Do not add oil, drain oil, or carry out maintenance or inspection before completely releasing the internal
pressure.
If oil is leaking under high pressure from small holes, it is dangerous if the jet of high-pressure oil hits the skin
or enters the eyes. Always wear safety glasses and thick gloves, and use a piece of cardboard or a sheet of
wood to check for oil leakage.
If you are hit by a jet of high-pressure oil, consult a doctor immediately for medical attention.
A03020
A3-13
PRECAUTIONS WHEN CARRYING OUT MAINTENANCE AT HIGH TEMPERATURE OR HIGH PRESSURE
Immediately after stopping operations, the engine cooling water and oil at
all parts are at high temperature and under high pressure.In this condition, if
the cap is removed, or the oil or water are drained, or the filters are
replaced, it may result in burns or other injury. Wait for the temperature to
go down, then carry out the inspection and maintenance in accordance with
the procedures given in this manual.
ROTATING FAN AND BELT
Keep away from rotating parts and be careful not to let anything get caught
in them.
If your body or tools touch the fan blades or fan belt, they may be cut off or
sent flying, so never touch any rotating parts.
WASTE MATERIALS
Never dump waste oil in a sewer system, rivers, etc.
Always put oil drained from your machine in containers. Never drain oil
directly on the ground.
Obey appropriate laws and regulations when disposing of harmful objects

such as oil, fuel, coolant, solvent, filters, batteries, and others.
A3-14
A03020
TIRES
HANDLING TIRES
If tires are not used under the specified conditions, they may overheat and burst or be cut and burst by sharp
stones on rough road surfaces. This may lead to serious injury or damage.
To maintain safety, always keep to the following conditions:
Inflate the tires to the specified pressure. Abnormal heat is generated particularly when the inflation pressure is
too low.
Use the specified tires.
The tire inflation pressure and permissible speeds are general values. The actual values may differ depending on
the type of tire and the condition under which they are used. For details, please consult the tire manufacturer.
If the tires become hot, a flammable gas is produced, and this may ignite. It is particularly dangerous if the tires
become overheated when the tires are under pressure. If the gas generated inside the tire ignites, the internal
pressure will suddenly rise, and the tire will explode, and this may lead to serious personal injury. Explosions differ
from punctures or tire bursts, because the destructive force is extremely large. Therefore, the following operations
are strictly prohibited when the tire is under high internal pressure:
Welding the rim
Building fires or carrying out welding near the wheel or tire.
If the proper procedure for carrying out maintenance or replacement of the wheel or tire is not used, the wheel or
tire may burst and cause serious injury or damage. When carrying out such maintenance, please consult the
authorized regional Komatsu America Corp. distributor, or the tire manufacturer.
STORING TIRES AFTER REMOVAL
As a basic rule, store the tires in a warehouse which unauthorized persons cannot enter. If the tires are stored
outside, always erect a fence around the tires and put up No Entry and other warning signs that even young
children can understand.
Stand the tire on level ground, and block it securely so that it cannot roll or fall over.
If the tire should fall over, get out of the way quickly. The tires for construction equipment are extremely heavy,
so trying to hold the tire may lead to serious injury.

WHEN REPAIRS ARE NECESSARY

1. Only qualified maintenance personnel who understand the systems being repaired should accomplish repairs.
2. Many components on the Komatsu Truck are large and heavy. Insure that lifting equipment - hoists, slings,
chains, lifting eyes - are of adequate capacity to handle the lift.
3. DO NOT WORK under a suspended load. Do not work under raised body unless body safety cables, props, or
pins are in place to hold the body in up position.
4. Do not repair or service truck while engine is running, except when adjustments can only be made under such
conditions. Keep a safe distance from moving parts.
5. When servicing any air conditioning system with refrigerant, wear a face shield and cold resistant gloves for
protection against freezing. Be certain to follow all current regulations for handling and recycling refrigerants.
6. Follow package directions carefully when using cleaning solvents.
7. If an auxiliary battery assist is needed, first use one cable to connect the 24V positive (+) post of the disabled
truck batteries to the 24V positive (+) post of the auxiliary assist. Use second cable to connect the 24V negative (-) post of the auxiliary assist battery to a frame ground (-) on the disabled truck away from the battery.
8. Always disconnect the positive and negative battery cables of the vehicle before doing any welding on the
unit. Failure to do so may seriously damage the battery and electrical equipment. Disconnect battery charging
alternator lead wire and isolate electronic control components before making welding repairs. (It is not necessary to disconnect or remove any control circuit cards on Electric Drive Dump Trucks or any of the AID circuit control cards.)
Always fasten the welding machine ground (-) lead to the piece being welded; grounding clamp MUST BE
ATTACHED AS NEAR AS POSSIBLE to the weld area. Never allow welding current to pass through ball
bearings, roller bearings, suspensions, or hydraulic cylinders. Always avoid laying welding cables over or
near the vehicle electrical harnesses. Welding voltage could be induced into the electrical harness and possibly cause damage to components.
9. If truck is to be towed for any reason, use a rigid tow bar. Check truck cab for decal recommending special
towing precautions. (Also refer to Towing Procedure in OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS.)
10. Drain, clean and ventilate fuel tanks and/or hydraulic tanks before making any welding repairs.
Any operating fluid, such as hydraulic oil or brake fluid escaping under pressure, can have sufficient force
to enter a person's body by penetrating the skin. Serious injury and possibly death may result if proper
medical treatment by a physician familiar with this injury is not received immediately.
11. Relieve pressure in lines or hoses before making any disconnects.
12. After adjustments or repairs, replace all shields, screens and clamps.
13. Tire Care:
Do not stand in front of rim and locking ring when inflating tire mounted on the machine. Observers should
not be permitted in the area and should be kept away from the side of such tires.
Do not weld or apply heat on the rim assembly with the tire mounted on the rim. Resulting gases inside the
tire may ignite, causing explosion of tire and rim.
14. Only a qualified operator or experienced maintenance personnel who are also qualified in operation should
move the truck under its own power in the repair facility or during road testing after repairs are complete.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
PREPARING FOR OPERATION
The safest trucks are those which have been properly prepared for operation. At the beginning of each
shift, a careful check of the truck should be made by
the operator before attempting to start the engine.
SAFETY IS THINKING AHEAD
Prevention is the best safety program. Prevent a
potential accident by knowing the employer's safety
requirements, all necessary job site regulations, as
well as use and care of the safety equipment on the
truck. Only qualified operators or technicians should
attempt to operate or maintain the Komatsu Truck.
Safe practices start before the operator gets to
the equipment!
Wear the proper clothing. Loose fitting clothing,

unbuttoned sleeves and jackets, jewelry, etc.,
can catch on a protrusion and cause a potential
hazard.
Always use the personal safety equipment

provided for the operator such as hard hat,
safety shoes, safety glasses or goggles. There
are some conditions when protective hearing
devices should also be worn for operator safety.
When walking to and from the truck, maintain a

safe distance from all machines even if the
operator is visible.
At The Truck - Ground Level Walk Around Inspection

At the beginning of each shift, a careful walk around
inspection of the truck should be made before the
operator attempts engine start-up. A walk around
inspection is a systematic ground level inspection of
the truck and its components to insure that the truck
is safe to operate before entering the operator's cab.
Start at the left front corner of the truck (see illustration, next page), and move in a counter-clockwise
direction, front-to-rear, across the rear, and continuing forward up the opposite side of the truck to the
original starting point.
If these steps are taken in sequence, and are
repeated from the same point and in the same direction before every shift, many potential problems may
be avoided, or scheduled for maintenance.
UNSCHEDULED downtime and loss of production
can be reduced.
A03020
Local work practices may prevent an operator from

performing all tasks suggested here, but to the extent
permitted, the operator should follow this or similar
routine.
1. Start at left front of truck. While performing the
walk around inspection, visually inspect all
lights and safety equipment for external damage from rocks or misuse. Make sure lenses
are clean and unbroken.
Empty the dust pans on the left side air cleaner
assemblies.
2. Move behind the front of the left front tire,
inspect the hub and brake assemblies for leaks
and any abnormal conditions.
Check that all suspension attaching hardware
is secure and inspect mounting key area for
evidence of wear. Check that the suspension
extension (exposed piston rod) is correct, and
that there are no leaks.
3. With engine stopped, check engine oil level. If
dark, turn on service light.
4. Inspect fan and air conditioner belts for correct
tension, obvious wear, and tracking. Inspect fan
guard for security and condition. When leaving
this point, be sure to turn off service light, if
used.
5. Inspect anchor end of steering cylinder for
proper greasing and for security.
6. Move outboard of the front wheel, and inspect
attaching lugs/wedges to be sure all are tight
and complete. Check tires for cuts, damage or
bubbles and that inflation appears to be correct.
7. Move behind the rear of the front wheel, inspect
for leaks at hub or brakes or any unusual conditions. Inspect suspension hardware to be sure it
is all in place. Inspect live end of steering cylinder for proper greasing, and for security of all
parts. Inspect for any hydraulic leaks.
8. Swing hydraulic inspection ladder down. Inspect
sight glass on hydraulic tank. With engine
stopped and body down, hydraulic fluid must be
visible in upper sight glass. If not, oil must be
added. Be sure ladder is in the up position and
is secure.

latches on wheel cover to be sure they are
properly latched. Inspect wheel motor for any
leakage that may be coming from inside the
wheel cover that would indicate brake leakage,
or wheel motor leakage.
Check dual tires for cuts, damage or "bubbles"
and that inflation appears to be correct. If truck
has been run on a "flat", the tire must be
cooled before parking truck inside. Inspect
for any rocks that might be lodged between
dual tires, and that rock ejector is in good condition and straight so that it can not damage a
tire.
12. Inspect left rear suspension for damage and for
correct rod exposure, and that there are no
leaks. Ensure that the covers over the chrome
piston rod are in good condition and inspect for
proper greasing.
13. Open rear hatch cover, turn on work light if necessary. Inspect for leaks around wheelmotor
mounting to rear axle housing, and also brake
hoses and fittings. Be sure that covers on wheel
motor sump are in place, and that there are no
rags or tools left behind. Inspect condition of
hatch cover gasket, report any bad gasket to
maintenance. Turn off work light if used, close
and latch hatch.
14. While standing in front of rear hatch, look up to
see that rear lights are in good condition, along
with dual back up horns. Look up at panhard
rod to see that it is getting proper greasing. Also
look at both body hinge pins for greasing and
any abnormal condition. Check hoist limit switch
and clear any mud/debris from contacts.

26. Climb ladder to main deck. Always use grab rails

and ladder when mounting or dismounting from
the truck. Clean ladder and hand rails of any
foreign material, such as ice, snow, oil or mud.
34. Read and understand the description of all Operator Controls in Section "N", Cab, "Instrument
Panel and Indicator Switches". Be familiar with
all control locations and functions BEFORE
operating truck.
Always mount and dismount ladders facing the

truck. Never attempt to mount or dismount while
the truck is in motion.
ENGINE START-UP SAFETY PRACTICES
27. When checking coolant in radiator, use coolant

level sight gauge (if equipped) or observe coolant level through opening in end of hood. If it is
necessary to remove radiator cap, shut down
engine (if running), and relieve coolant pressure
SLOWLY, before removing radiator cap.
NEVER ATTEMPT TO START THE ENGINE BY

SHORTING ACROSS THE STARTER TERMINALS.
This may cause fire, or serious injury or death to
anyone in machines path.
START THE ENGINE FROM THE OPERATORS
SEAT ONLY.
If engine has been running, allow coolant to cool,

before removing the fill cap or draining radiator.
Serious burns may result if coolant is not allowed
to cool.
28. Be sure battery disconnect switches are on. Be
sure battery box hold down wing nuts are in
place and secure. Inspect covers over retarding
grids to be sure latches are in place and secure.
Inspect main air inlet to be sure it is clear. Be
sure all cabinet door latches are secure.
29. Move on around the cab to the back, open the
doors to the brake cabinet, inspect for leaks.
Before latching doors, turn work lights off, if
used.
1. Insure all personnel are clear of truck before

starting engine. Always sound the horn as a
warning before actuating any operational controls. If the truck is in an enclosure, insure adequate ventilation before start-up. Exhaust
fumes are dangerous!
2. Be sure parking brake switch is in "On" position.
Check and insure Selector Switch is in "Neutral"
before starting.
3. If truck is equipped with auxiliary cold weather
heater system(s);
Do not attempt to start engine while heaters
are in operation. Damage to coolant heaters
will result!
30. Clean cab windows and mirrors; clean out cab

floor as necessary. Insure steering wheel, controls and pedals are free of any oil, grease or
mud.
31. Stow personal gear in cab so that it does not
interfere with any operation of the truck. Dirt or
trash buildup, specifically in the operator's cab,
should be cleared. Do not carry tools or supplies in cab of truck or on the deck.
32. Adjust seat and steering wheel so that it is comfortable for use.
33. If truck is in an enclosure, insure adequate ventilation before start-up. Exhaust fumes are dangerous!

4. The keyswitch is a three position (Off, Run,

Start) switch. When switch is rotated one position clockwise, it is in the "Run" position and all
electrical circuits (except "Start") are activated.
a. Turn keyswitch to "Run" (not "Start") position.
b. With Selector Switch in "Neutral", rotate keyswitch fully clockwise to "Start" position, and
HOLD this position until engine starts (see
NOTE below). "Start" position is springloaded to return to "Run" when key is
released.
NOTE: If the truck is equipped with a Komatsu
engine, a time delay will occur before starter
engagement and engine cranking begins. The
Komatsu engine is equipped with a Prelub System
that circulates engine oil throughout the engine prior
to start-up. The colder the engine oil, the longer the
delay before cranking begins. In addition, if the
engine is equipped with the Engine Starting Aid for
cold weather starting, the Engine Prelub System
should be engaged FIRST for 5 to 10 seconds, or
until the starters are engaged, BEFORE activating
the Engine Starting Aid.
Starting fluid is extremely volatile and flammable!

Use with extreme care.
If truck is equipped with optional Engine Starting Aid
and ambient temperature is below 50F (10C), turn
the keyswitch to the Start position, and while cranking engine, move the Engine Starting Aid switch to
the On position for three (3) seconds MAXIMUM;
then release Engine Starting Aid. If engine does not
start, wait at least fifteen (15) seconds before repeating the procedure.
Do not crank an electric starter for more than

30 seconds.
Allow two minutes for cooling before

attempting to start engine again. Severe
damage to starter motor can result from
overheating.
AFTER ENGINE HAS STARTED

1. After engine has started, do not accelerate
engine speed or drive truck until low pressure
and warning systems are normal, and the coolant temperature is at least 160 F (71C).
2. Become thoroughly familiar with steering and
emergency controls. Test the truck steering in
extreme right and left directions. If the steering
system is not operating properly, shut engine
down immediately. Determine the steering system problem and have repairs made before
resuming operation.
3. Operate each of the truck's brake circuits at
least twice prior to operating and moving the
truck. These circuits include individual activation from the operator's cab of the service
brake, parking brake, and brake lock. With the
engine running and with the hydraulic circuit
fully charged, activate each circuit individually. If
any application or release of any brake circuit
appears sluggish or improper, or if warning
alarms are activated on application or release,
shut the engine down and notify maintenance
personnel. Do not operate truck until brake circuit in question is fully operational.
4. Check gauges, warning lights and instruments
before moving the truck to insure proper system
operation and proper instrument functioning.
Give special attention to braking and steering
circuit hydraulic warning lights. If warning lights
come on, shut down the engine immediately
and determine the cause.
5. Insure headlights, worklights and taillights are in
proper working order. Good visibility may prevent an accident. Check operation of windshield
wiper.
6. When truck body is in dump position, do not
allow anyone beneath it unless body-up retaining pin or cable is in place.
7. Do not use the fire extinguisher for any purpose
other than putting out a fire! If extinguisher is
discharged, report the occurrence so the used
unit can be refilled or replaced.
8. Do not allow unauthorized personnel to ride in
the truck. Do not allow anyone to ride on the
ladder of the truck.
9. Do not leave truck unattended while engine is
running. Apply park brake and shut down
engine before getting out of cab.
A03020
A3-23
MACHINE OPERATION SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

After the truck engine is started and all systems are
functioning properly, the operator must follow all local
safety rules to insure safe machine operation.
If any of the red warning lights come "On" or if

any gauge reads in the red area during truck
operation, a malfunction is indicated. Stop truck
as soon as safety permits, shut down engine if
problem indicates and have problem corrected
before resuming truck operation.
Operating truck with stalled or free spinning

wheel motors may cause serious damage to
wheel motors! If truck does not begin to move
within 10 seconds after depressing throttle pedal
(Selector Switch in a drive position), release
throttle pedal and allow wheels to regain traction
before accelerating engine again.
1. Always look to the rear before backing the truck.
Watch for and obey ground spotter's hand signals before making any reverse movements.
Sound the warning horn (3 blasts). Spotter
should have a clear view of the total area at the
rear of the truck.
2. Operate the truck only while properly seated
with seat belt fastened. Keep hands and feet
inside the cab compartment while truck is in
operation.
3. Check gauges and instruments frequently during operation for proper readings.
4. Observe all regulations pertaining to the job
site's traffic pattern. Be alert to any unusual traffic pattern. Obey the spotter's signals.
5. Match the truck speed to haul road conditions
and slow the truck in any congested area. Keep
a firm grip on steering wheel at all times.
Do not use "Brake Lock" or "Emergency Brake"

(if equipped) for parking. With engine stopped,
hydraulic pressure will bleed down, allowing
brakes to release!
8. Check brake lock performance periodically for
safe loading and dump operation.
9. Proceed slowly on rough terrain to avoid deep
ruts or large obstacles. Avoid traveling close to
soft edges and the edge of fill area.
10. Truck operation requires concentrated effort by
the driver. Avoid distractions of any kind while
operating the truck.
MACHINE OPERATION ON THE HAUL

ROAD
1. Always stay alert! If unfamiliar with the road,
drive with extreme caution. Cab doors should
remain closed at all times if truck is in motion or
unattended.
2. Obey all road signs. Operate truck so it is under
control at all times. Govern truck speed by the
road conditions, weather and visibility. Report
haul road conditions immediately. Muddy or icy
roads, pot holes or other obstructions can
present hazards.
3. Initial propulsion with a loaded truck should
begin from a level surface whenever possible,
but when there are circumstances where starting on a hill or grade cannot be avoided, refer to
the "STARTING ON A GRADE WITH A
LOADED TRUCK" procedure.
4. When backing the truck, give back-up signal
(three blasts on the horn); when starting forward, two blasts on the horn. These signals
must be given each time the truck is moved forward or backward.
6. Do not allow engine to run at "Idle" for extended

periods of time.
5. Use extreme caution when approaching a haul

road intersection. Maintain a safe distance from
oncoming vehicles.
7. Check parking brake periodically during shift.

Use parking brake ONLY for parking. Do not
use park brake for loading / dumping. Do not
attempt to apply parking brake while truck is
moving!
6. Maintain a safe distance when following another

vehicle. Never approach another vehicle from
the rear, in the same lane, closer than 50 ft. (15
m). When driving on a down grade, this distance should not be less than 100 ft. (30 m).
A3-24
A03020
7. Do not stop or park on a haul road unless

unavoidable. If you must stop, move truck to a
safe place, apply parking brake, and shut down
engine before leaving cab. Block wheels
securely and notify maintenance personnel for
assistance.
Dynamic Retarding is available in "Forward/Reverse"

at all truck speeds above 0 mph/kph; however, as the
truck speed slows below 3 mph (4.8 kph), the available retarding force may not be effective. Use the
service brakes to bring the truck to a COMPLETE
stop.
8. Before starting up or down a grade, maintain a

speed that will insure safe driving and provide
effective retarding under all conditions (refer to
"DYNAMIC RETARDING OPERATION"). The
Grade/Speed Chart in the operator's cab should
always be referenced to determine MAXIMUM
safe truck speeds for descending various
grades with a loaded truck.
Dynamic Retarding will NOT hold a stationary truck

on an incline; use the Parking Brake or Wheel Lock
brake for this purpose.
9. When operating truck in darkness, or when visibility is poor, do not move truck unless all headlights, clearance lights, and tail lights are on. Do
not back truck if back-up horn or lights are inoperative. Always dim headlights when meeting
oncoming vehicles.
10. If the "Emergency Steering" light and/or "Low
Brake Pressure Warning" light (if equipped) illuminate during operation, steer the truck immediately to a safe stopping area, away from
other traffic if possible. Refer to item 7 above.
11. The Statex III system monitors wheel motor,
ambient, and static exciter temperatures. If
wheel motor or static exciter temperature is outside the limits established, the Statex III controls will cause the engine to increase to 1650
RPM. (Normal engine RPM for haul road/retarding operation is 1250 RPM).
12. When maximum truck speed is reached, the
truck will experience a DECREASE in engine
RPM.
13. Check tires for proper inflation periodically during shift. If truck has been run on a "flat", or
under-inflated tire, it must not be parked in a
building until the tire cools.
DYNAMIC RETARDING OPERATION

Dynamic Retarding is a braking torque (not a brake)
produced through electrical generation by the wheelmotors when the truck motion (momentum) is the
propelling force. For normal truck operation, Dynamic
Retarding should be used to slow and control the
speed of the truck.
A03020
Dynamic Retarding is available in "Neutral" only

when truck speed is above 3 mph (4.8 kph).
When dynamic retarding is in operation, the engine
RPM will automatically go to an advance RPM retard
speed setting (usually 1250 RPM*).
NOTE: The exact engine speed in retarding may vary
due to the temperature of certain components; this is
controlled by the Statex III control system.
Dynamic retarding will be applied automatically, if
the speed of the truck reaches the predetermined
overspeed retard setting. Any application of the
Dynamic retarding system (automatic or foot pedal)
will cause an indicator light to illuminate in the overhead display panel.
OPTIONAL - DUAL FUNCTION / SINGLE PEDAL

The Dynamic Retarder/Service Brake Pedal is a single, foot-operated pedal which controls both retarding and service brake functions. Thus, the operator
must first apply, and maintain, full dynamic retarding
in order to apply the service brakes. Releasing the
pedal returns the brake and retarder to the "Off" position.
When the pedal is partially depressed, the dynamic
retarding is actuated. As the pedal is further
depressed to where dynamic retarding is fully
applied; the service brakes (while maintaining full
retarding) are then actuated through a hydraulic
valve, which modulates pressure to the service
brakes. Completely depressing the pedal causes
full application of both dynamic retarding AND
the service brakes. An indicator light in the overhead panel will illuminate, and an increase in pedal
resistance, will be felt when the Service Brakes are
applied.
For normal truck operation, Dynamic Retarding
should be used to slow and control the speed of the
truck.
A3-25
STARTING ON A GRADE WITH A

LOADED TRUCK
Initial propulsion with a loaded truck should begin
from a level surface whenever possible, but when
there are circumstances where the starting on a hill
or grade cannot be avoided, use the following procedure:
1. With service brakes fully applied, move the
selector switch to a drive position (Forward/
Reverse). If equipped with a dual function
retarder/service pedal, fully depress pedal to
hold the truck on the grade. Depress the override switch on the center console and increase
engine RPM with throttle pedal.
2. As engine RPM increases and operator senses
propulsion effort working against the brakes,
release the brakes and let truck movement
start. If equipped with a dual function retarder/
service pedal, be sure to completely release the
pedal. As truck starts to move, release the override switch.
NOTE: As truck speed increases above 3-5 MPH (58 KPH) the Statex III system will drop propulsion if
the retarder pedal is still applied.
PASSING
1. Do not pass another truck on a hill or blind
curve!
2. Before passing, make sure the road ahead is
clear. If a disabled truck is blocking your lane,
slow down and pass with extreme caution.
3. Use only the areas designated for passing.
5. When being loaded, operator should stay in

truck cab with engine running. Place Selector
Switch in "Neutral" and apply Wheel Brake
Lock.
6. When loaded, pull away from shovel as quickly
as possible but with extreme caution.
DUMPING
1. Pull into dump area with extreme caution. Make
sure area is clear of persons and obstructions,
including overhead utility lines. Obey signals
directed by the spotter, if present.
Avoid unstable areas. Stay a safe distance
from edge of dump area. Position truck on a
solid, level surface before dumping.
As the body raises, the truck Center of Gravity

(CG) will move. Truck must be on level surface to
prevent tipping / rolling!
2. Carefully maneuver truck into dump position.
DO NOT rely on Wheel Brake Lock to stop
truck; this control is not modulated and applies
REAR SERVICE BRAKES ONLY.
3. When truck is stopped and in dump position,
apply Wheel Brake Lock and move the Selector
Switch to the "Neutral" position.
To Raise dump body:
LOADING
1. Pull into the loading area with caution. Remain
at a safe distance while truck ahead is being
loaded.
2. Do not drive over unprotected power cables.
3. When approaching or leaving a loading area,
watch out for other vehicles and for personnel
working in the area.
4. When pulling in under a loader or shovel, follow
"Spotter" or "Shovel Operator" signals. The
truck operator may speed up loading operations
by observing the location and loading cycle of
the truck being loaded ahead, then follow a similar pattern.
A3-26
The dumping of very large rocks (10% of payload,

or greater) or sticky material (loads that do not
flow freely from the body) may allow the material
to move too fast and cause the body to move
RAPIDLY and SUDDENLY. This sudden movement may jolt the truck violently and cause possible injury to the operator, and/or damage to the
hoist cylinders, frame, and/or body hinge pins. If
it is necessary to dump this kind of material, refer
to the WARNING in the following procedure:
A03020
NOTE: DO NOT drive forward if the tail of body will

not clear the crusher wall in the fully raised position.
4. Pull the lever to

the rear to actuate hoist circuit.
(Releasing the
lever
anywhere
during
"hoist up" will
place the body
in "hold" at that
position.)
b. Shift Selector Switch to "Forward", release

Brake Lock, depress Override button and
drive forward to clear the material. Stop, shift
Selector Switch to "Neutral", apply Brake
Lock and lower body again.
NOTE: Failure to "hoist" the body after making an
unsuccessful attempt at lowering the body may result
in the dump body suddenly lowering after the truck
has pulled ahead of the material that was previously
preventing the body from lowering.
5. Raise engine RPM to accelerate hoist speed.

Refer to the WARNING below.
If dumping very large rocks or sticky material as

described in WARNING above, slowly accelerate
engine RPM to raise body. When the material
starts to move, release hoist lever to "HOLD"
position. If material does not continue moving
and clear body, repeat this procedure until material has cleared body.
6. Reduce engine RPM as last stage of hoist cylinder begins to extend and let engine go to low
idle as last stage reaches half-extension.
7. Release hoist lever as last stage of hoist cylinder reaches full extension.
To Lower Body
(When dumping over a berm or into a crusher):
8. Move hoist lever forward to "down" position and
release. Releasing the lever places hoist control
valve in the "float" position allowing the body to
return to frame.
NOTE: If dumped material builds
up at the rear of the body and the
body cannot be lowered, perform
steps "a" & "b" below:
CAUTION! The truck is not to be moved with the

dump body raised except for emergency moves
only. Failure to lower body before moving truck
may cause damage to hoist cylinders, frame and/
or body hinge pins.
To Lower Body
(When dumping on flat ground):
It is very likely when dumping on flat ground that the
dumped material will build up enough to prevent the
body from lowering. In this case, the truck will have to
be driven forward a short distance (just enough to
clear the material) before the body can be lowered.
a. Shift Selector Switch to "Forward", release
drive just far enough forward for body to
clear material. Stop, shift Selector Switch to
"Neutral", apply Brake Lock.
b. Move hoist lever forward to "down" position
and release. Releasing the lever places hoist
control valve in the "float" position allowing
the body to return to frame.
NOTE: If dumped material builds
up at the rear of the body and the
body cannot be lowered, then
perform steps "c" and "d" below:
a. Move hoist lever back to the "hoist" position

to fully raise the dump body. Then release
the hoist lever so it returns to the "hold" position.
A03020
A3-27
c. Move hoist lever back to the "hoist" position

to fully raise the dump body. Then release
the hoist lever so it returns to the "hold" position.
d. Shift Selector Switch to "Forward", release
drive forward to clear the material. Stop, shift
Selector Switch to "Neutral", apply Brake
Lock and lower body again.
NOTE: Failure to "hoist" the body after making an
unsuccessful attempt at lowering the body may result
in the dump body suddenly lowering after the truck
has pulled ahead of the material that was previously
preventing the body from lowering.
CAUTION! The truck is not to be moved with the

dump body raised except for emergency moves
only. Failure to lower body before moving truck
may cause damage to hoist cylinders, frame and/
or body hinge pins.
10. With body returned to frame, move Selector
Switch to "Forward", release Brake Lock, and
leave dump area carefully.
SAFE PARKING PROCEDURES

The operator must continue the use of safety precautions when preparing for parking and engine shutdown.
In the event that the equipment is being worked in
consecutive shifts, any questionable truck performance the operator may have noticed must be
checked by maintenance personnel before the truck
is released to another operator.
TOWING
Prior to towing a truck, many factors must be carefully considered. Serious personal injury and/or significant property damage may result if important
safety practices, procedures and preparation for
moving heavy equipment are not observed. Do not
tow the truck any faster than 5 MPH (8 kph).
A disabled machine may be towed after the following
MINIMUM precautions have been taken.
1. Shut down engine.
2. Chock wheels on disabled truck to prevent
movement while attaching tow bar.
3. If truck is equipped, install hydraulic connections
for steering and dumping between towing and
towed vehicles. Check towed vehicle for normal
braking and steering system operation.
4. Empty all material from dump body of truck that
is to be towed.
5. Inspect tow bar for adequacy (approximately 1.5
times the gross vehicle weight of truck being
towed).
6. Determine that towing vehicle has adequate
capacity to both move and stop the towed truck
under all conditions.
7. Protect both operators in the event of tow bar
failure.
8. Release disabled truck brakes and remove
blocking.
9. Sudden movement may cause tow bar failure.
Smooth and gradual truck movement is preferred.
10. Minimize tow angle at all times - NEVER
EXCEED 30. The towed truck must be steered
in the direction of the tow bar.
1. The truck should be parked on level ground, if at

all possible. If parking must be done on a
grade, the truck should be positioned at right
angles to the grade.
2. The parking brake must be applied and/or
chocks placed fore/aft of wheels so that the
truck cannot roll. Each truck should be parked
at a reasonable distance from another.
3. Haul roads are not safe parking areas. In an
emergency, pick the safest spot most visible to
other machines in the area. If the truck
becomes disabled where traffic is heavy, mark
the truck with warning flags in daylight or flares
at night.
A3-28
A03020
NORMAL ENGINE SHUTDOWN

PROCEDURE
The following procedure should be followed at each
engine shutdown.
1. Stop the truck out of the way of other traffic on a
level surface and free of overhead power lines
or other obstructions (in case dump body
should need to be raised).
a. Reduce engine speed to idle.
b. Place the directional Selector Switch in
"Neutral".
c. Apply the Parking Brake switch. Be sure the
"Parking Brake Applied" indicator light in the
overhead display panel is illuminated.
d. Allow engine to cool gradually by running at
low idle for 3 to 5 minutes, or if preferred,
activate the 5 minute shutdown delay timer
as described on the following page.
2. With engine cooled down, turn keyswitch counterclockwise to "Off" position for normal shutdown of engine.
If engine does not shutdown with keyswitch,
use Engine Shutdown Switch on operator cab
center console, and hold this switch down until
engine stops.
3. With keyswitch "Off", and engine stopped, wait
at least 90 seconds. Insure steering circuit is
completely bled down by turning steering wheel
back and forth several times. No front wheel
movement will occur when hydraulic pressure is
relieved. If the vehicle continues to steer after
shutdown, notify maintenance personnel.
4. Close and lock all windows, remove key from
keyswitch and lock cab to prevent possible
unauthorized truck operation. Dismount truck
properly. Put wheel chocks in place.
NOTE: A switch is located at the right front corner of
the truck for ground level engine shutdown.
DELAYED ENGINE SHUTDOWN

PROCEDURE
1. Stop the truck out of the way of other traffic on a
level surface and free of overhead power lines
or other obstructions (in case dump body
should need to be raised).
a. Reduce engine speed to low idle.
b. Place the directional Selector Switch in
"Neutral".
c. Apply the Parking Brake switch. Be sure the
"Parking Brake Applied" indicator light in the
overhead display panel is illuminated.
2. Refer to INSTRUMENT PANEL AND INDICATOR LIGHTS section for location on instrument
panel of the Engine Shutdown Switch with 5
Minute Idle Timer Delay. This is a 3-position
rocker-type switch (Off-On-Momentary).
3. Press the top of the
engine shutdown switch
to select the ON (center) position. Press the
top of the switch again to
activate the timer delay
(momentary
position).
Release the switch and
allow it to return to the
ON position.
When the engine shutdown
timer has been activated,
the timer delay indicator
light in the overhead status
panel will illuminate to indicate that the shutdown timing sequence has started.
The engine will continue to
idle for approximately 5 minutes to allow for
proper engine cool-down before stopping.
4. Turn the keyswitch counterclockwise to the
"OFF" position to cause the engine to shutdown
when the timing sequence is complete. When
the engine stops, this will activate the hydraulic
bleeddown timer and turn off the 24 VDC electric circuits controlled by the keyswitch.
NOTE: To cancel the 5 minute idle timer sequence,
press the timer delay shutdown switch to the "OFF"
(lower) position. If the keyswitch is in the "OFF"
position, the engine will stop. If the keyswitch is in the
"ON" position, the engine will continue to run.
A03020
A3-29
SUDDEN LOSS OF ENGINE POWER

NOTE: If the engine suddenly stops, there is enough
hydraulic pressure stored in the brake and steering
accumulators to allow the operation of the steering
and brake functions. However, this oil supply is
limited so it is important to stop the truck as quickly
and safely as possible after the loss of engine power.
If the brake supply pressure drops to a predetermined level, the "Low Brake Pressure" warning
light will illuminate and a buzzer will sound. If the
brake pressure continues to decrease, the "AutoApply" feature will activate and the service brakes
will apply automatically to stop the truck. Apply
parking brake as soon as the truck comes to a
complete stop.
1. Bring the truck to a safe stop as quickly as possible by using the foot pedal to apply the service brakes.
Dynamic retarding will not be available! Do not

use the service brakes for continuous retarding
purposes.
2. If possible, steer the truck to the side of the road
while bringing it to a complete stop. Apply the
parking brake as soon as the truck has stopped
moving. Turn key switch Off" and notify maintenance personnel immediately.
3. If safe to do so, place wheel chocks in front or
behind the wheels to that truck cannot roll.
4. If the truck becomes disabled where traffic is
heavy, mark the truck with warning flags in daylight or flares at night.
RESERVE ENGINE OIL SYSTEM

(Optional)
The reserve oil tank for the engine is designed to add
more oil capacity to the engine and to make less frequent servicing of the engine oil. The circulation of oil
between the engine sump and reserve tank
increases the total volume of working oil. This dilutes
the effects of contamination and loss of additives and
maintains the oil quality over longer periods. A filter
in the supply circuit protects the pumping unit and
prevents transfer of contaminants to the engine
sump which might enter the tank during servicing. It
also gives an added level of oil cleanup.
Operation
Engine oil is circulated between the engine sump and
the reserve tank by two electrically driven pumps
within a single pumping unit (11). The pump unit is
mounted on the side of the reserve tank. The pump
unit is equipped with an LED monitor light on one
side.
Pump 1 (in the pump unit) draws oil from the engine
sump at a preset control point (determined by the
height of the suction tube). Oil above this point is
withdrawn and transferred to the reserve tank (9).
This lowers the level in the engine sump until air is
drawn.
Air reaching the pumping unit activates Pump 2 (in
the pump unit) which returns oil from the reserve tank
and raises the engine sump level until air is no longer
drawn by Pump 1. Pump 2 then turns "Off". The running level is continuously adjusted at the control point
by alternation between withdrawal and return of oil at
the sump.
LED Monitor Light
Steady - Pump 1 is withdrawing oil from the
engine sump and bringing down the oil level.
Regular Pulsing - Pump 2 is returning oil to the
engine sump and raising the oil level.
Irregular Pulsing - Oil is on the correct running
level.
A3-30
A03020
Changing Oil
Drain both the engine sump and the reserve tank.
Refill both engine and reserve tank with new oil to
proper levels.
Change engine and reserve tank filters as required.
Start engine and check for proper operation.
NOTE: Do not use the oil in the reserve tank to fill the
engine sump. Both must be at proper level before
starting engine.
The engine oil level should be checked with the
engine dipstick at every shift change. If the oil level in
the engine is incorrect, check for proper operation of
the reserve engine oil system.
The oil level in the reserve tank must also be
checked at every shift change. Oil must be visible in
the middle sight gauge (12). If not, add oil to the
reserve tank by using the quick fill system utilizing
the tank fill pump (3). For filling instructions, refer to
the "Lubrication and Service" section.

WARNINGS AND CAUTIONS

The following pages give an explanation of the Warning, Caution, and Service Instruction plates and decals
attached to the truck. The plates and decals listed here are typical of this model, but because of customer options,
individual trucks may have plates and decals that are different from those shown here.
The plates and decals must be kept clean and legible. If any decal or plate becomes unable to be read or damaged, it should be replaced with a new one.
A warning decal surrounds the key switch located to

the right of the steering column on the instrument
panel. The warning stresses the importance of reading the operator's manual before operation.
A Grade/Speed plate is located on the left front post

of the operator's cab and provides the recommended
MAXIMUM speeds to be used when descending various grades with a loaded truck. Always refer to the
decal in operator's cab.
This decal in the truck may differ from the decal
shown here due to OPTIONAL truck equipment such
as: wheel motor drive train ratios, retarder grids, tire
sizes, etc.
A plate attached to the right rear corner of the cab

states the Rollover Protective Structure and Falling
Object Protective Structure meets various SAE performance requirements.

structure, or attempt to repair damage without
written approval from the Manufacturer. Unauthorized repairs will void certification.
A04046
Warnings and Cautions
A4-1
A warning instruction is applied below the Parking Brake and the Rear Wheel Brake Lock switches, which are
located to the right of the steering column on the instrument panel. Pushing the top of the rocker-style switch turns
the function ON, pushing the bottom, turns it OFF.
The Parking Brake is spring applied and hydraulically released. It is designed to hold a stationary truck
when the engine is shutdown and keyswitch is turned "Off". The truck must be completely stopped
before applying the parking brake, or damage may occur to parking brake.To apply the parking brake,
press the rocker switch toward the "On" symbol. To release the parking brake, press the rocker switch
toward the "Off" symbol. When the keyswitch is "On" and Parking Brake switch is applied, the Parking Brake indicator light (in Overhead Panel) will be illuminated.
NOTE: Do not use the parking brake at shovel or dump. With keyswitch "On" and engine running, sudden shock
caused by loading or dumping could cause the system's motion sensor to RELEASE the park brake.
The Wheel Brake Lock switch is for holding the truck while parked at the shovel during loading, or while
dumping. It applies the rear service brakes only. If the brake treadle valve does not operate, apply this
brake to stop the truck. Do NOT use this brake as a parking brake when leaving the truck. With engine
shut down, the hydraulic system will eventually bleed down, releasing the service brakes.
Attached to the exterior of the battery compartment is a danger plate. This plate stresses the need to keep from making
any sparks near the battery. When another battery or 24VDC
power source is used for auxiliary power, all switches must be
"Off" prior to making any connections. When connecting auxiliary power cables, positively maintain correct polarity; connect
the positive (+) posts together and then connect the negative
(-) lead of the auxiliary power cable to a good frame ground.
Do not connect to the negative posts of the truck battery
or near the battery box. This hookup completes the circuit
but minimizes danger of sparks near the batteries. Sulfuric
acid is corrosive and toxic. Use proper safety gear, goggles,
rubber gloves and rubber apron when handling and servicing
batteries.
A4-2
A04046
A warning plate is mounted on top of the radiator

surge tank cover near the radiator cap.The engine
cooling system is pressurized. Always turn the
engine off and allow the engine to cool before
removing radiator cap. Unless the pressure is first
released, removing the radiator cap after the engine
has been running for a time will result in the hot coolant being expelled from the radiator. Serious scalding and burning can result.
Warning plates are mounted on the frame in front of,

and to the rear, of the front tires. All personnel are
warned that the clearances change when the truck is
steered and could cause serious injury.
Warning plates are attached to both the hydraulic

tank and fuel tank to alert technicians not to work on
the truck with the body in the raised position
unless body-up retention device (pins or cable) is in
position.
A plate on the side of the hydraulic tank furnishes

instructions for filling the hydraulic tank.
Keep the system open to the atmosphere only as
long as absolutely necessary to lessen chances of
system contamination. Service the tank with clean
Type C-4 hydraulic oil. All oil being put into the
hydraulic tank should be filtered through 3 micron filters.
A04046
A4-3
A decal plate is located on the frame near the left

hoist cylinder which provides the operator or technician with the hook-up procedure for dumping a
loaded, disabled truck, by using a functional truck for
hydraulic power.
Refer to the Service manual for additional instructions for using this procedure.
A CAUTION decal is attached below the hydraulic

tank oil level sight gauge. Check level with body
down, engine stopped, and key switch "Off". Add oil
per filling instructions, if oil level is below top of sight
glass.
A warning plate is attached to the frame above the

hydraulic system (APU) quick disconnect fittings to
alert technicians that high pressure hydraulic oil is
present during operation. Care must be taken when it
is necessary to open the hydraulic system. There is
always a chance of residual pressure being present.
Open fittings slowly to allow any pressure to bleed off
before removing any connections.
Any operating fluid, such as hydraulic oil, escaping under pressure can have sufficient force to
enter a person's body by penetrating the skin.
Serious injury and possibly death may result if
proper medical treatment by a physician familiar
with this injury is not received immediately.
A4-4
A04046
High Voltage Danger Plates and Caution Plates are

attached to the doors of the Electrical Control Cabinet. The High Voltage Plate is also attached to the
blown grid housing, extended range housing, rectifier
housing, inlet duct structure and rear hatch cover.
Before doing any welding on the truck, always disconnect the positive and negative battery cables of
the vehicle. Failure to do so may seriously damage
the battery and electrical equipment. Disconnect battery charging alternator lead wire and isolate electronic control components before making welding
repairs. (It is not necessary to disconnect or remove
any control circuit cards on electric drive Komatsu
Trucks or any of the "AID" circuit control cards.)
Always fasten the welding machine ground (-) lead to
the piece being welded; grounding clamp MUST
BE ATTACHED AS NEAR AS POSSIBLE to the
weld area. Never allow welding current to pass
through ball bearings, roller bearings, suspensions,
or hydraulic cylinders. Always avoid laying welding
cables over or near the vehicle electrical harnesses.
Welding voltage could be induced into the electrical
harness and possibly cause damage to components.
A WARNING plate is located above the hydraulic
system (APU) quick disconnect fittings in front of the
hydraulic tank which provides instructions to the
operator or technician for towing a disabled truck.
This plate specifies the requirements for an auxiliary
source of supply for hydraulic oil and the proper
hookup.
TEST STEERING AND BRAKE SYSTEM FOR
NORMAL OPERATION BEFORE TOWING.
A wheel motor oil level decal is attached to the gear

cover on both electric wheel motors. This decal
stresses the fact that the truck must be on a level
surface and parked for 20 minutes prior to checking
the oil level. This is necessary in order to get an
accurate reading.
A04046
A4-5
Warning and Danger plates are located inside the

door of the brake system cabinet behind the cab.
This DANGER plate alerts technicians to read the
warning labels attached to the side of each of the
accumulators prior to releasing internal nitrogen
pressure or disconnecting any hydraulic lines or
hardware.
This WARNING plate warns the technician to stop

the engine, turn off the key switch, and open the
drain valves on all three accumulators to bleed the
hydraulic pressure before loosening or disconnecting
a brake line.
This WARNING plate, attached to the automatic lube

system grease reservoir warns the technician not to
remove the reservoir cover. The grease reservoir
should be filled through the grease filter to prevent
contamination of the grease supply.
This DANGER plate is attached to all four suspensions and steering accumulator(s). The plate contains instructions for releasing internal pressure
before disconnecting any hydraulic lines or hardware.
A4-6
A04046
A WARNING Plate is located near the brake accumulators inside the hydraulic components cabinet behind the
operators cab. This warning reminds the servicing technicians to be sure to close the accumulator drain valves
after they have been opened to bleed brake pressure. It
further warns not to over-tighten the drain valves to prevent damage to the valve seat(s).
A product identification plate is located on the frame in

front of the right side front wheel and shows the Truck
Model Number, Maximum G.V.W. and Product Identification Number (PIN).
The Product Identification Number (PIN) consists of 19
total characters. The first and last characters are
tamper preventative symbols (*). The remaining 17
alpha/numeric characters are used to identify 5 characteristics of the machine. The 5 characteristics are
detailed below.
WMC - Character positions 1, 2 and 3 identify the Worldwide Manufacturer Code (WMC). The WMC designates the manufacturer of the product. Komatsu brand
products are identified with the letters KMT.
MDS - Character positions 4, 5, 6, 7 and 8 identify the
Machine Descriptor Section (MDS). The MDS code
identifies general information regarding machine specifications. The MDS is a code for the machine type and
model.
CL - Character position 9 identify the Check Letter (CL).
The CL is used to verify the accuracy of the individual
PIN.
FC - Character positions 10 and 11 identify the Factory
Code (FC). The FC identifies the Komatsu factory in
charge of claims for the product. The FC for electric
drive trucks is 61.

EFFECT OF SPECIAL LUBRICANTS

On Fasteners and Standard Torque Values
KOMATSU engineering department does NOT recommend the use of special friction-reducing lubricants
such as, Copper Coat, Never Seize, and other similar products on the threads of standard fasteners
where standard torque values are applied.
The use of special friction-reducing lubricants will significantly alter the clamping force being applied to fasteners during the tightening process.
If special friction-reducing lubricants are used with the
Standard Torque values listed below in Table I (and
in Komatsu shop manuals), excessive stress and possible breakage of the fasteners may result.
Where Torque Tables specify Lubricated Threads for
the Standard Torque values listed, these standard
torque values are to be used with simple lithium
base chassis grease (multi-purpose EP NLGI) or a
rust- preventive grease (see list, page 1-10) on the
threads and seats, unless specified otherwise.
NOTE: Always be sure threads of fasteners and
tapped holes are free of burrs and other imperfections before assembling.
Standard torque values are not to be used when
Turn-of-the-Nut tightening procedures are recommended.

See NOTE below regarding Table usage
NOTE: Tables such as Table VIII, IX, X, and XI may

be used as in the following example:
3. Multiply by 10:
970 psi = 6688 kPa.
Example: Convert 975 psi to kilopascals (kPa).
4. Go to PSI row 0, column 5; read 34.475

psi = 34.47 kPa. Add to step 3.
1. Select Table X.
2. Go to PSI row 90, column 7; read 668.8
97 psi = 668.8 kPa.
5. 970 + 5 psi = 6688 + 34 = 6722 kPa.

BODY GUIDE
Adjustment
1. Vehicle must be parked on a flat, level surface for
inspection.
2. All pads, except the rear pad on each side, should
contact the frame with approximately equal compression of the rubber.
3. A gap of approximately 0.06 in. (1.5 mm) is required at each rear pad. This can be accomplished by using one less shim at each rear pad.
4. If pad contact appears to be unequal, repeat the
above procedure.
Proper body pad to frame contact is required to

assure maximum pad life.
1. Body guide wear points should be inspected each

time a body pad inspection is performed. (Refer
to Figure 3-5.) The body guide should be centered
between the wear plates (3), with a maximum gap
of 0.19 in. (4.8 mm) at each side when new.
2. If gap becomes excessive, replacement parts
should be installed. (Refer to the Parts Catalog.)
BODY-UP RETENTION CABLE
Any time personnel are required to perform maintenance on the vehicle with the dump body in the
raised position, the body-up retention cable MUST
be installed.
1. To hold the dump body in the up position, raise the
body to its maximum height. (Refer to Figure 3-6.)
2. Remove the cable (3) from its stored position on
the body and install between the Rear Body Ear

COOLING SYSTEM
COOLING SYSTEM DESCRIPTION
The standard 830E engine is a Komatsu model

SDA16V1610 single stage turbocharged engine
equipped with aftercoolers.
The engine cooling radiator assembly contains two
cores; A low temperature core (2, Figure 3-1) is
connected to the four aftercoolers (7). There are two
aftercoolers located on each cylinder bank. This
coolant is circulated by the engines LTA (Low Temperature Aftercooler) water pump (6). The LTA thermostats (4) begin to open at 115 F (46 C) and are
fully open at 135 F (57 C).
A second, high temperature core (3), located at

the rear of the radiator assembly is used for the
engine coolant circuit. In this circuit, the engine
water pump (10) circulates coolant through the
engine block (9) (heads, liners, internal oil coolers
etc.). The engine coolant thermostats (5) begin to
open at 180 F (82 C) and are fully open at 202 F
(94 C).
In addition, a fuel cooler, located on the lower right
corner of the radiator assembly reduces fuel temperature after fuel leaves the engine, before it is
returned to the tank. The air conditioning system
refrigerant condenser is mounted on the lower left
corner of the radiator assembly.

AIR FILTRATION SYSTEM

AIR CLEANER
Operation
Intake air, required by the diesel engine and by the
truck air system, passes through the air cleaner assemblies mounted on each side of the radiator. These air
cleaners discharge heavy particles of dust and dirt by
centrifugal action and then remove finer particles by
passing air through filter cartridges. The air compressor inlet line is connected to the engine filtered air
supply.
The engine demand for air creates a vacuum in the air
cleaners and causes outside air to be drawn in through
air inlets on the air cleaners. Dirty air entering here is
drawn through a series of tubes that are designed to
produce a cyclonic action. As the air passes through
the outer portion of the tubes, a circular motion is set
up causing dust and dirt particles to be thrown from
the air stream into dust collector cups. At the same
time, the air stream turns and is directed up through
the center of the tubes into the filter chamber. Here the
air passes through the main filter element and safety
filter element and out the clean air outlet to the engines
air intake system.
General Service Information
1. Inspect dust collector cups (1, Figure 5-1) at
regular intervals - daily inspection is recommended. Never allow dust level build up to the
tube chamber
2. Check filter restriction gauges, during operation.

The filters should be cleaned or replaced when the
gauges read between 20 and 25 inches H2O vacuum or when a warning message is presented on
the overhead display by the HMS system. Refer
to Filter Service Procedure for maintenance and
cleaning instructions.
3. Check to insure air inlet is not obstructed, plugged
or damaged.
4. Check all connections between air cleaner outlet
and engine intake manifold to insure they are tight
and make a positive seal.
5. Check all air cleaner housing capscrews to insure
they are tight.
MAIN FILTER ELEMENT

Removal
Remove and inspect the main filter element as outlined
below.
The truck engine must be shut down before servicing the air cleaner assemblies or opening the
engine air intake system.
1. Shut down engine. Clean dirt and dust off air
cleaner assembly exterior surfaces.
2. Loosen large wing nut (5, Figure 5-2) on air cleaner
cover to free main element assembly (10). Pull
main element clear of assembly.
3. Inspect filter element carefully for possible damage, holes, breaks, etc., which might affect reuse
of element. If element appears serviceable other
than being dirty, proceed with the cleaning procedure. If defects are found in filter element, wing
nut assembly (5) must be removed from element
assembly and installed on the new filter element.

AIR INTAKE TROUBLESHOOTING

To insure maximum engine protection, be sure that all
connections between air cleaners and engine intake
are tight and positively sealed. If air leaks are suspected, check the following:
c. Dry the element thoroughly. If drying is done

with heated air, the maximum temperature
must not exceed 140F (60C) and must be
circulated continually. Do not use a light bulb
for drying elements.
d. After cleaning the element, inspect thoroughly
for slightest ruptures and damaged gaskets. A
good method to detect paper ruptures is to
place a light inside the filter element as shown
in Figure 5-3, and inspect the outer surface of
the filter element.
1. All intake lines, tubes and hump hoses for breaks,

cracks, holes, etc., which could allow an intake air
leak.
2. Check all air cleaner gaskets for positive sealing.
3. Check air cleaner elements, main and safety, for
ruptures, holes or cracks.
4. Check air cleaner assembly for structural damage,
cracks, breaks or other defects which could allow
air leakage. Check all mounting hardware for
tightness.
AIR CLEANER ASSEMBLY CLEANING

Main Filter Cleaning
FIGURE 5-3. INSPECTING FILTER ELEMENT
For best results, after inspection, determine the condition of the element and choose either the Washing or
Compressed Air method for cleaning the filter element.
1. Wash elements with water and liquid detergent or
a 50-50 solution of Oakite 202 and warm water.
NOTE: This method is best when element is loaded
with carbon, soot, oil or dust.
a. Soak the element in a solution of liquid detergent and water for 15 to 30 minutes. Rotate
element back and forth in the solution to free
element of dirt deposits. DO NOT soak elements for more than 24 hours.
b. Rinse element with a stream of fresh water in
the opposite direction of normal air flow until
rinse water runs clear. Maximum permissible
water pressure is 40 psi (276 kPa). A complete,
thorough rinse is essential.
C05012 4/98
2. Clean dust loaded elements with dry filtered compressed air:

a. Maximum nozzle pressure must not exceed 30
psi (207 kPa). Nozzle distance from filter element surface must be at least one inch (25 mm)
to prevent damage to the filter material.
b. As shown in Figure 5-4, direct stream of air from
nozzle against inside of filter element. This is the
clean air side of the element and air flow should
be opposite of normal air flow.
c. Move air flow up and down vertically with pleats
in filter material while slowly rotating filter element.
d. When cleaning is complete, inspect filter element as shown in Figure 5-3 and if holes or
ruptures are noted, discard the element.

FIGURE 5-5. REMOVING DUST FROM TUBES
The tubes in precleaner section of air cleaner assembly

should be cleaned at least once annually and at each
engine overhaul. More frequent cleaning may be necessary depending upon operating conditions and local
environment should tubes become clogged with oil,
sludge or dirt.
To inspect tubes in precleaner section, remove main
filter element. Do not remove the safety element.
Loosen clamps and remove dust collector cup. Use a
light to inspect the tubes, all tubes should be clear and
the light should be visible.
3. Remove capscrews and locknuts holding precleaner section to the cleaner assembly and remove precleaner. The safety element must remain
in place to protect the engine intake.
4. Loosen clamps and remove dust collector cup (1)
from precleaner section. Wash dust cup with
water and liquid soap solution.
Clean the tubes as follows if clogging is evident:
Both the main and safety elements must be installed in the air cleaner while Steps 1 and 2 are
being accomplished to prevent any possibility of
dirt being forced into the engine intake area.
1. Dust can best be removed with a stiff fiber brush.
DO NOT use a wire brush. Dust may also be
removed effectively using compressed air.
2. Heavy plugging of tubes may require soaking and
washing of complete precleaner section. The following instructions cover these procedures.

The truck utilizes a 24VDC electrical system which
supplies power for all non-propulsion electrical components. The 24VDC is supplied by four 12 volt storage batteries wired in series and parallel. The
batteries are a lead-acid type, each containing six 2volt cells. With keyswitch On, and engine not operating, power is supplied by batteries. When the
engine is operating, electrical power is supplied by a
24 volt alternator.
BATTERY
During operation, the storage batteries function as an
electrochemical device for converting chemical
energy into the electrical energy required for operating the accessories when the engine is shut down.
Lead-acid storage batteries contain sulfuric acid,

which if handled improperly may cause serious
burns on skin or other serious injuries to personnel. Wear protective gloves, aprons and eye protection when handling and servicing lead-acid
storage batteries. See the precautions in Section
"A" of this manual to insure proper handling of
batteries and accidents involving sulfuric acid.
Maintenance and Service
The electrolyte level of each cell should be checked
at the interval specified in the Lubrication and Service Section "P", and water added if necessary. The
proper level to maintain is 3/8 - 1/2 in. (10-13 mm)
above the plates. To insure maximum battery life, use
only distilled water or water recommended by the
battery manufacturer. After adding water in freezing
weather, operate the engine for at least 30 minutes to
thoroughly mix the electrolyte.
DO NOT SMOKE or allow flame around a dead

battery or during the recharging operation. The
expelled gas from a dead cell is extremely explosive.
D02023
Excessive consumption of water indicates leakage or

overcharging. Normal water usage for a unit operating eight hours per day is about one to two ounces
per cell per month. For heavy duty operation (24
hour) normal consumption should run about one to
two ounces per cell per week. Any appreciable
increase over these figures should be considered a
danger signal.
Troubleshooting
Two most common troubles that occur in the charging system are undercharging and overcharging of
the truck's batteries.
An undercharged battery is incapable of providing
sufficient power to the truck's electrical system.
Some possible causes for an undercharged battery
are:
Sulfated battery plates
Loose battery connections
Defective wire in electrical system
Loose alternator drive belt
A defective alternator
A defective battery equalizer
Overcharging, which causes battery overheating, is
first indicated by excessive use of water. If allowed to
continue, cell covers will push up at the positive ends
and in extreme cases the battery container will
become distorted and cracked.
Leakage can be detected by continual wetness of the
battery or excessive corrosion of the terminals, battery carrier and surrounding area. (A slight amount of
corrosion is normal in lead-acid batteries). Inspect
the case, covers and sealing compound for holes,
cracks or other signs of leakage. Check battery hold
down connections to make sure the tension is not
great enough to crack the battery, or loose enough to
allow vibration to open the seams. A leaking battery
should be replaced.
To remove corrosion, clean the battery with a solution
of ordinary baking soda and a stiff, non-wire brush
and flush with clean water. Make sure none of the
soda solution is allowed into the battery cells. Be
sure terminals are clean and tight. Clean terminals
are very important in a voltage regulated system.
Corrosion creates resistance in the charging circuit
which causes undercharging and gradual starvation
of the battery.
24 VDC Electric Supply System
D2-1
NOTE: When washing batteries, make sure cell caps

are tight to prevent cleaning solution from entering
the cells.
Addition of acid will be necessary if considerable
electrolyte has been lost through spillage. Before
adding acid, make sure battery is fully charged. This
is accomplished by putting the battery on charge and
taking hourly specific gravity readings on each cell.
When all the cells are gassing freely and three successive hourly readings show no rise in specific gravity, the battery is considered charged. Additional acid
may now be added. Continue charging for another
hour and again check specific gravity. Repeat the
above procedure until all cells indicate a specific
gravity of 1.260-1.265 corrected to 80F (27C).
NOTE: Use 1.400 strength sulfuric acid when making
specific gravity adjustments. Acid of higher strength
will attack the plates and separators before it has a
chance to diffuse into the solution.
If the temperature of the electrolyte is not reasonably
close to 80F (27C) when the specific gravity is
taken, temperature should be corrected to 80F
(27C):
For every 10F (5C) below 80F (27C), 0.004
should be SUBTRACTED from the specific
gravity reading.
For every 10F (5C) above 80F (27C), 0.004
should be ADDED to the reading.
Idle batteries should not be allowed to stand unattended. If equipment is to stand unused for more
than two weeks, the batteries should be removed
and placed in a cool, dry place where they may be
checked periodically and charged when necessary.
Remember, all lead-acid batteries discharge slowly
when not in use. This self discharge takes place
even though the battery is not connected in a circuit
and is more pronounced in warm weather than in
cold.
The rate of self-discharge of a battery kept at 100F

(38C) is about six times that of a battery kept at
50F (19C) and self-discharge of a battery kept at
80F (27C) is about four times that one at 50F
(10C). Over a thirty day period, the average self-discharge runs about 0.002 specific gravity per day at
80F (27C).
To offset the results of self-discharge, idle batteries
should receive a booster charge (not a quick charge)
at least once every thirty days. Batteries allowed to
stand for long periods in a discharged condition are
attacked by a crystallization of the lead sulfate on the
plates. Such batteries are called sulfated and are, in
the majority of cases, irreparably damaged. In less
severe cases, the sulfated battery may be restored to
limited service by prolonged charging at a low rate
(approximately normal rate).
An undercharged battery is extremely susceptible to
freezing when allowed to stand in cold weather.
The electrolyte of a battery in various stages of
charge will start to freeze at temperatures indicated
in the table.
The temperatures in table I indicate the points at
which the first ice crystals appear. Lower temperatures must be reached for a solid freeze. Solid freezing of the electrolyte may crack the battery case and
damage the positive plates. As will be noted, a
charged battery is in no danger of freezing, therefore,
a charge or better is desirable, especially during winter weather.

BATTERY CHARGING SYSTEM (Niehoff)

General Description
The Niehoff alternator (Figure 2-1) is a heavy duty,
24 VDC unit rated at 240 amps. A solid state voltage
regulator (5) mounted externally on the end housing
assembly provides voltage control during operation.
A single output connection (4) is located on the face
of the control unit (3) for connection to the truck battery positive circuit. The ground circuit cable can be
attached to either of two terminals (8) located on the
cover plate. A fan guard (6) protects maintenance
personnel from the rotating fan when the engine is
operating.
TROUBLESHOOTING PROCEDURES
(On-Truck)
Most 24 volt charging system problems can be diagnosed with the alternator installed on the truck,
operating under normal conditions. Many problems
can be attributed to loose or corroded cable connectors. It is essential that all battery charging circuit
cables are in satisfactory condition and all connections are clean and securely tightened.
Equipment Required:
Belt tension scale
Voltmeter, 0 - 40 volt range
Ammeter, 0 - 400 amp range

specified in Battery - Troubleshooting.
If voltmeter reading exceeds 30.5 volts, stop

engine immediately and refer to Table II.
4. Inspect the wiring for defects. Check all connections for tightness and cleanliness. Remove and
clean battery cables.
If batteries are sufficiently discharged, amps

should be high (240 amps 10%) and voltage
should be between 27.3 and 28.9 volts (normal
range) or may be less than 23.7 volts if the
batteries are significantly discharged.
2. As the batteries approach full charge, the
amperage should fall as voltage rises.
5. If truck is equipped with a battery equalizer system, verify proper operation of equalizer and
individual battery voltages. Refer to Battery
Equalizer, this Section.

15-30 minutes into charge cycle, volts rise
several tenths, amps increase gradually then
increase quicker to medium to high amps.
20-35 minutes into charge cycle, volts rise to
setpoint and amps lower.
High-Cycle Maintenance Free Types:
These types respond much better than standard
maintenance free types. The charge acceptance of
these batteries may display characteristics similar to
standard, maintenance type batteries.
CHARGE VOLT AND AMP VALUES
Medium amps are defined as some multiple of the

low amp value, perhaps 30 amps for the Group-8D
and 10-15 amps for the Group-31. This rate of
amperage will cause a rise in battery temperature
over a long period of time (4-8 hrs) and may lead to
an overcharge condition if temperature elevates too
high.
High amps would be 50 to 75 amps for a Group-8D,
and 25 to 35 amps for a Group-31 size. High amperage rates over a short period of time (2-3 hrs.) can
severely damage any battery by overheating the battery and causing thermal runaway. The battery, in
effect, forgets its state of charge and will accept all
amps offered. The electrolyte solution is boiled off as
the battery moves into an excessive gassing stage.
Charge voltage is the voltage delivered to the battery when the alternator and regulator are operating
properly. This charge voltage value is the voltage
regulator's setpoint. At times the charge voltage
value may be less than the regulator's setpoint but it
will never be higher than that setpoint.
Voltage and amperage levels are functions of battery

state of charge. If the batteries are charged 95% or
higher when the engine is cranked, the charge voltage will be near regulator setpoint and the amps will
taper quickly from medium to low. True battery voltage is obtained AFTER removing any surface charge
from the battery or after 24 hours of non-use.
Battery voltage is the steady state voltage of the

battery. The value of this voltage relates directly to
state of charge.
DEFINITIONS
B+ voltage is battery positive voltage, but does not

refer to a specific value as does battery voltage.
NOTE: Charge voltage and amp rates vary from

battery type to battery type, based on battery
construction technology and physical size of battery.
Low amps are the necessary amps that a battery will
take continuously over a period of time without damage to the battery when the battery is in an operating
system and is constantly cycling. Batteries such as
the Group-8D may accept rates up to 15 amps over
several hours without raising their internal temperature more than a few degrees. Group-31 batteries
may accept rates up to 5 amps over several hours
with minimal temperature rise.
D02023
Surface charge is a higher than normal terminal

voltage a battery has when it comes off a charger or
after extended time in vehicle operation. The surface
charge must be removed to determine true battery
voltage.

DAMAGE WILL OCCUR IF UNIT IS OPERATED

WITH STRAP CONNECTED AND B+ APPLIED!
Hold a steel wrench or screwdriver near
alternator drive pulley: wrench or screwdriver
held near drive pulley will be attracted to
pulley by magnetism.
If there is no magnetic attraction, alternator may
not be turned on. Go to Regulator Test that
follows and continue test.
If there is magnetic attraction, alternator is good
and regulator should be considered good.
Alternator will produce electricity because
regulator is on. This test only shows regulator as
either on or off.
With engine running, measure value of AC

voltage from R terminal to Ground.
If no AC volts are present, alternator is not
capable of turning on regulator.
NOTE: On a new, first time start up of an alternator,
the alternator may test at less than 5 volts on "R"
terminal. The cause of this problem may be loss of
residual magnetism within the alternator during
shipping and handling of the alternator. To restore
the residual magnetism: With engine off and battery
switch on, momentarily (1-2 seconds) connect a
jumper wire from B+ terminal to E terminal. (May
spark - this is OK.) Remove jumper and restart
engine. Alternator should generate properly once the
residual magnetism is restored.
If AC voltage is approximately 14 Volts, alternator
is properly turned on and output of alternator will
be approximately 28 Volts.
If AC voltage is 3 Volts to 5 Volts, alternator is
NOT turned on (regulator is OFF) but alternator is
capable of turning on a GOOD regulator. NOTE:
This test shows only if alternator is capable of
energizing regulator. To check harness from
alternator to regulator go to "Regulator Connector
On Alternator" test. Continue testing.
Vehicle Charging Circuit Test Is Now Complete:
Remove all jumper wires from alternator used to test
charging circuit.

24 VDC ELECTRIC STARTER SYSTEM

(WITH PRELUBE)
OPERATION
The Komatsu SSDA16V160 engine includes an

engine pre-lubrication system designed to reduce
wear due to dry starts.
The prelube system is activated when the operator

turns the key switch and holds it in the start position. This allows the current to flow to the prelube
starter solenoid timer (3). When this solenoid timer
is activated, current flows through fusible link (9) to
the prelube motor (10), driving the prelube pump,
but does not allow the starter motors to engage the
starter pinion gears at this time. The prelube pump
supplies oil from the engine oil pan to fill the engine
oil filters and oil passages prior to cranking.
The prelube system automatically, safely and

quickly fills filters and all oil passages prior to cranking at each engine startup. In addition, the system
prevents startup if no oil is present in the engine.
The prelube system includes:
Remote mounted 24VDC powered pump
Timer solenoid
Oil pressure switch
Oil suction line
Oil outlet line
Check valve
Electrical harness.
(Refer to electrical schematic diagram, Figure 2-5.)
When the pressure in the engine cam oil rifle

reaches 2.5 psi (17.2 kPa), the circuit to the timer
solenoid is opened. After a 3 second delay, the current is directed to the standard starter solenoids (8);
the starter motors will then be activated and the pinion gears will be engaged into the flywheel ring
gear. Normal cranking will now occur with sufficient
lubrication to protect the engine bearings and other
components.

Pressure Switch
MAINTENANCE
The pressure switch (2, Figure 2-5) is a 2.5 psi (17.2

kPa), normally closed (N.C.) switch, located so that it
can sense oil pressure after the engine oil has
passed through the filters. (Normally, this location is
the cam cover at the rear of the engine block.)
Prelube system maintenance should be performed

annually or at 5000 hour intervals as described
below.
Check Valve
The oil pressure supply hose will have a check valve
installed between the prelube pump and the engine.
The oil flow through the valve (arrow on valve) must
be toward the engine. The check valve prevents the
passage of oil from the engine back through the prelube pump to the pan after the engine is started.
Prelube System Operation Checks

Verify system operates according to the two phases
of operation as listed in Troubleshooting Prelube
Starter Circuit on the following page. If a problem
exists, refer to the list of problems and possible
causes for troubleshooting system components.
If system is operating properly, continue with the
inspection of component parts below:
Check Valve
Timer Solenoid
The timer solenoid (3, Figure 2-5) controls the prelubrication cycle. Current is supplied to the timer
through the key switch. The ground path is completed by the normally closed pressure switch (2).
When the switch opens, current is redirected to the
engine starter solenoids (8) for engine cranking, following a 3 second delay.
Verify no internal leakage exists in the check valve

when the engine is running. Check valve leakage
back to the prelube pump will cause extensive damage to the pump.
If check valve replacement is required, be certain the
valve is installed with the arrow pointed toward the
engine, NOT toward the pump.
Timer Solenoid
Inspect Timer Solenoid for physical damage and to
verify wiring is in good condition.
DO NOT Attempt to jump start the truck using the

terminals on the timer solenoid. INTERNAL DAMAGE TO TIMER WILL RESULT.
D02023
D2-11
Troubleshooting Prelube Starter Circuit

Two distinct phases are involved in a complete prelubrication cycle. The two phases are:
1. Prelubrication Phase- Begins when the key switch is held in the START position. A circuit is provided to
ground through the normally closed pressure switch. The circuit is interrupted upon opening of the pressure
switch when the prelube pressure reaches 2.5 psi (17.2 kPa).
2. Delay and Crank Phase- Begins when the pressure switch opens. A 3 second delay precedes the crank
mode.
Problem
Starter prelubricates only. Does not delay or crank.
Probable Cause
Indicates oil pressure is not sufficient to open the pressure switch.

a. No oil or low oil in engine. The pump can not
build sufficient pressure to open switch.
b. Pump failure.
c. Pressure switch has failed (closed) and is
grounding circuit.
d. Oil pressure switch wire chafed and shorting to
block.
Starter prelubricates continuously regardless of

key switch position.
Indicates Prelube Timer Solenoid contacts have

welded.
a. Low voltage can cause relay failure.
b. Jump starting of the vehicle with a voltage that
is higher than was designed for the system,
can cause solenoid contacts to weld.
Starter delays and cranks. No prelubrication mode.
Starting circuit is irregular when in crank mode.
If an operator indicates the ignition is totally dead,

make certain the key is being held in the crank position
for 3 to 4 seconds. If the engine cranks after a short
delay, this indicates that a ground connection to the
pressure switch has been broken. Without a ground
path, the prelubrication unit will proceed to delay and
crank.
a. Check the wire to the pressure switch. If the
wire is removed or cut, replace it.
b. Check the ground strap to engine block. If the
ground strap is missing the block is not
grounded.
c. Check the pressure switch for an open circuit.
Remove the wire, then check for an open circuit between the switch terminal and the
switch base. If open, replace the pressure
switch.
a. Check for low or dead batteries.
b. Check alternator output.
c. Check ground connection at G terminal of
starter bendix solenoid.
d. Check for defective starter safety relays.
e. If everything checks OK, replace batteries.
NOTE: Maximum allowable voltage drop is - 2
volts for starter control circuit.
D2-12
D02023
Problem
Probable Cause
Starter has very long prelubrication cycle.
Except for severe cold weather starts, the prelube

cycle should not exceed 45 seconds.
a. Low oil pressure.
b. Make sure oil of the proper viscosity is being
used in respect to outside temperature. (Refer
to engine manufacturer's specifications).
c. Check for suction side air leaks, loose connections, cracked fittings, pump casting, or
hose kinks and blockage.
d. Check the oil pressure switch for the correct
location. Be certain that it has not been
moved into a metered oil flow, as in a bypass
filter or governor assembly.
Starter has no prelubrication, no delay and no

crank.
If the starter is totally inoperative and no prelubrication, no delay and crank, this indicates a possible failure of the prelubrication timer solenoid.
Remove the wire from the pressure switch (ground
wire) and activate the key switch for several seconds.
a. If the starter delays - then cranks, the Prelube
Timer Solenoid is bad. Replace the timer
solenoid assembly.
b. If the starter is still inoperative, check the
truck starter switch circuit. Make sure proper
voltage is available to the Prelube Timer Solenoid when the key is activated.
Starter prelubricates, delays, then does not crank.
Indication is either a timer failure, or a starter problem.

a. Place a jumper wire to the starter solenoid S
post. If the engine starts to crank, replace the
Prelube Timer Solenoid.
b. If the engine fails to crank when the "S" post
is energized with voltage, check out starter
bendix solenoid and starter pinion drive.

D2-13
24 VDC ELECTRIC START SYSTEM

CRANKING MOTORS
OPERATION
Heavy duty batteries supply 24VDC to each of the
two cranking motors through magnetic switches activated by the key switch on the instrument panel.
Note: When a Komatsu SSDA16V160 engine with a
prelube system is installed, there is a delay between
the time the key switch is moved to the START
position, and the starter motors actuate.
When the keyswitch is placed in the Start position,
the magnetic switches close, connecting the motor
solenoid S terminals to the batteries. When the
solenoid windings are energized, the plunger (56,
Figure 2-8) is pulled in, moving the starter drive (71)
assembly forward in the nose housing to engage the
engine flywheel ring gear. Also, when the solenoid
plunger is pulled in, the main solenoid contacts close
to provide current to the motor armature and cranking takes place. When the engine starts, an overrunning clutch in the drive assembly protects the
armature from excessive speed until the keyswitch is
released. When the keyswitch is released, a return
spring causes the drive pinion to disengage.

CRANKING MOTOR
TROUBLESHOOTING
If the cranking system is not functioning properly,
check the following to determine which part of the
system is at fault:
Batteries -- Verify the condition of the
batteries, cables, connections and charging
circuit.
Wiring -- Inspect all wiring for damage or
loose connections at the keyswitch, magnetic
switches, solenoids and cranking motor(s).
Clean, repair or tighten as required.
If the above inspection indicates the starter motor to
be the cause of the problem, remove the motor and
perform the following tests prior to disassembly to
determine the condition of the motor and solenoid
and repairs required.
FIGURE 2-7. NO-LOAD TEST CIRCUIT
Preliminary Inspection
1. Check the starter to be certain the armature
turns freely.
a. Insert a flat blade screwdriver through the
opening in the nose housing.
b. Pry the pinion gear to be certain the armature can be rotated.
2. If the armature does not turn freely, the starter
should be disassembled immediately.
3. If the armature can be rotated, perform the NoLoad Test before disassembly.
No-Load Test
Refer to Figure 2-7 for the following test setup.
Do not apply voltages in excess of 20 volts.

Excessive voltage may cause the armature to
throw windings.
d. Connect the motor and an ammeter in series
with two fully charged 12 volt batteries.
e. Connect a switch in the open position from
the solenoid battery terminal to the solenoid
switch terminal.
2. Close the switch and compare the RPM, current,
and voltage reading to the following specifications:
RPM: 5500 Minimum to 7500 Maximum
AMPS: 95 Minimum to 120 Maximum
Be certain switch is open before connections or

disconnections are made during the following
procedures.
1. Setup the motor for test as follows:
a. Connect a voltmeter from the motor terminal
to the motor frame.
b. Use an RPM indicator to measure armature
speed.
c. Connect a carbon pile across one battery to
limit battery voltage to 20 VDC.
VOLTS: 20 VDC
Interpreting Results of Tests
1. Rated current draw and no-load speed indicates
normal condition of the cranking motor.
2. Low free speed and high current draw indicates:
a. Too much friction; tight, dirty, or worn bearings, bent armature shaft or loose pole
shoes allowing armature to drag.
b. Shorted armature. This can be further
checked on a growler after disassembly.
c. Grounded armature or fields. Check Further
after disassembly.
D02023
D2-15
3. Failure to operate with high current draw indicates:

a. A direct ground in the terminal or fields.
b. Frozen bearings (this should have been
determined by turning the armature by
hand).
4. Failure to operate with no current draw indicates:
a. Open field circuit. This can be checked after
disassembly by inspecting internal connections and tracing circuit with a test lamp.
b. Open armature coils. Inspect the commutator for badly burned bars after disassembly.
c. Broken brush springs, worn brushes, high
insulation between the commutator bars or
other causes which would prevent good contact between the brushes and commutator.
5. Low no-load speed and low current draw indicates:
a. High internal resistance due to poor connections, defective leads, dirty commutator and
causes listed under Number 4.
6. High free speed and high current draw indicates
shorted fields. If shorted fields are suspected,
replace the field coil assembly and check for
improved performance.
Disassembly
The cranking motor should be disassembled only as
far as necessary to repair or replace defective parts.
1. Note the relative position of the solenoid (53,
Figure 2-8), lever housing (78), nose housing
(69), and C.E. frame (1) so the motor can be
reassembled in the same manner.
2. Disconnect field coil connector (42) from solenoid motor terminal, and lead from solenoid
ground terminal.
3. Remove the brush inspection plug (52), and
brush lead screws (15).
4. Remove the attaching bolts (34) and separate
the commutator end frame (1) from the field
frame (35).
5. Separate the nose housing (69) and field frame
(35) from lever housing (78) by removing
attaching bolts (70).
6. Remove armature (45) and drive assembly (71)
from lever housing (78).
7. Separate solenoid (53) from lever housing by
pulling apart.

Cleaning and Inspection

1. The drive (71), armature (45) and fields (46)
should not be cleaned in any degreasing tank,
or with grease dissolving solvents, since these
would dissolve the lubricant in the drive and
damage the insulation in the armature and field
coils.
2. All parts except the drive should be cleaned with
mineral spirits and a clean cloth.
3. If the commutator is dirty, it may be cleaned with
No. 00 sandpaper.
NOTE: Never use emery cloth to clean commutator.
4. Inspect the brushes (13, Figure 2-8) for wear.
a. If worn excessively when compared with a
new brush, they should be replaced.
b. Make sure the brush holders (10) are clean
and the brushes are not binding in the holders.
c. The full brush surface should ride on the
commutator. Check by hand to insure that
the brush springs (16) are giving firm contact
between the brushes (13) and commutator.
d. If the springs (16) are distorted or discolored,
they should be replaced.
Armature Servicing
If the armature commutator is worn, dirty, out of
round, or has high insulation, the armature (45)
should be put on a lathe and the commutator turned
down. The insulation should then be undercut 0.031
in. (.79 mm) wide and 0.031 in. (.79 mm) deep, and
the slots cleaned out to remove any trace of dirt or
copper dust. As a final step in this procedure, the
commutator should be sanded lightly with No. 00
sandpaper to remove any burrs left as a result of the
undercutting procedure.
The armature should be checked for opens, short circuits and grounds as follows:
1. Opens are usually caused by excessively long
cranking periods. The most likely place for an
open to occur is at the commutator riser bars.
Inspect the points where the conductors are
joined to the commutator bars for loose connections. Poor connections cause arcing and
burning of the commutator as the cranking
motor is used. If the bars are not too badly
burned, repair can often be effected by resoldering or welding the leads in the riser bars
(using rosin flux), and turning down the commutator in a lathe to remove the burned material.
The insulation should then be undercut.
D2-18
2. Short circuits in the armature are located by use

of a growler. When the armature is revolved in
the growler with a steel strip such as a hacksaw
blade held above it, the blade will vibrate above
the area of the armature core in which the short
circuit is located. Shorts between bars are
sometimes produced by brush dust or copper
between the bars. These shorts can be eliminated by cleaning out the slots.
3. Grounds in the armature can be detected by the
use of a 110-volt test lamp and test points. If the
lamp lights when one test point is placed on the
commutator with the other point on the core or
shaft, the armature is grounded. Grounds occur
as a result of insulation failure which is often
brought about by overheating of the cranking
motor produced by excessively long cranking
periods or by accumulation of brush dust
between the commutator bars and the steel
commutator ring.
Field Coil Checks

The field coils (46, Figure 2-8) can be checked for
grounds and opens by using a test lamp.
1. Grounds - The ground connections must be
disconnected during this check. Connect one
lead of the 110 volt test lamp to the field frame
(35) and the other lead to the field connector
(42). If the lamp lights, at least one field coil is
grounded and must be repaired or replaced.
2. Opens - Connect test lamp leads to ends of field
coils (46). If lamp does not light, the field coils
are open.
Field Coil Removal

Field coils can be removed from the field frame
assembly by using a pole shoe screwdriver. A pole
shoe spreader should also be used to prevent distortion of the field frame. Careful installation of the field
coils is necessary to prevent shorting or grounding of
the field coils as the pole shoes are tightened into
place. Where the pole shoe has a long lip on one
side and a short lip on the other, the long lip should
be assembled in the direction of armature rotation so
it becomes the trailing (not leading) edge of the pole
shoe.
D02023
5. To check for grounds, move battery lead from

G (Figure 2-10) and from MTR (Figure 2-11)
to the solenoid case. Ammeter should read
zero. If not, the winding is grounded.
FIGURE 2-9. SIMPLIFIED SOLENOID CIRCUIT
Solenoid Checks
A basic solenoid circuit is shown in Figure 2-9. Solenoids can be checked electrically using the following
procedure.
Test
1. With all leads disconnected from the solenoid,
make test connections as shown to the solenoid, switch terminal and to the second switch
terminal G, to check the hold-in winding (Figure 2-10).
FIGURE 2-10. SOLENOID HOLD-IN WINDING

TEST
2. Use the carbon pile to decrease the battery voltage to 20 volts. Close the switch and read current.
The ammeter should read 6.8 amps
maximum.
3. To check the pull-in winding, connect from the
solenoid switch terminal S to the solenoid
motor M or MTR terminal (Figure 2-11).
To prevent overheating, do not leave the pull-in

winding energized more than 15 seconds. The
current draw will decrease as the winding temperature increases.
4. Use the carbon pile to decrease the battery voltage to 5 volts. Close the switch and read current.
The ammeter should read 9.0 to 11.5 amps.
NOTE: High readings indicate a shorted winding.
Low readings indicate excessive resistance.

D2-19
Assembly
Lubricate all bearings, wicks and oil reservoirs with
SAE No. 20 oil during assembly.
Bearing Replacement:
1. If any of the bronze bearings are to be replaced,
dip each bearing in SAE No. 20 oil before
pressing into place.
2. Install wick, soaked in oil, prior to installing bearings.
3. Do not attempt to drill or ream sintered bearings.
These bearings are supplied to size. If drilled or
reamed, the I.D. will be too large and the bearing pores will seal over.
4. Do not cross-drill bearings. Because the bearing
is so highly porous, oil from the wick touching
the outside bearing surface will bleed through
and provide adequate lubrication.
5. The middle bearing is a support bearing used to
prevent armature deflection during cranking.
The clearance between this bearing and the
armature shaft is large compared to the end
frame bearings.
Motor Assembly:
1. Install the end frame (with brushes) onto the
field frame as follows:
a. Insert the armature (45, Figure 2-8) into the
field frame (35). Pull the armature out of the
field frame just far enough to permit the
brushes to be placed over the commutator.
b. Place the end frame (1) on the armature
shaft. Slide end frame and armature into
place against the field frame.
c. Insert screws (34) and washers (33) and
tighten securely.
2. Assemble lever (63) into lever housing (78) If
removed.
3. Place washer (79) on armature shaft and install
new O-ring (80). Position drive assembly (71) in
lever (63) in lever housing. Apply a light coat of
lubricant (Delco Remy Part No. 1960954) on
washer(75) and install over armature shaft.
Align lever housing with field frame and slide
assembly over armature shaft. Secure with
screws (76) and washers (77).
FIGURE 2-12. PINION CLEARANCE CHECK

CIRCUIT
5. Using a new gasket (72), install drive housing

(69) and secure with screws (70).
6. Assemble field coil connector (42) to solenoid.
7. Adjust pinion clearance per instructions on the
following page.
8. After pinion clearance has been adjusted, install
gasket (74) and plug(73).
4. Assemble and install solenoid assembly through

lever housing and attach to field frame. Install
nut (64) but do not tighten at this time. Install
brush inspection plugs (52).

MAGNETIC SWITCH
The magnetic switch is a sealed unit and not repairable.
FIGURE 2-13. CHECKING PINION CLEARANCE

FIGURE 2-14. MAGNETIC SWITCH ASSEMBLY
Pinion Clearance
Removal
To adjust pinion clearance, follow the steps listed

below.
1. Remove battery power as described in Cranking

Motor Removal.
1. Make connections as shown in Figure 2-12.
2. Disconnect cables from the switch terminals and

wires from coil terminals (Figure 2-14).
2. Momentarily flash a jumper lead from terminal

G to terminal MTR. The drive will now shift
into cranking position and remain so until the
batteries are disconnected.
3. Push the pinion or drive back towards the commutator end to eliminate slack movement.
4. The distance between the drive pinion and
housing should be between 0.330 in. to 0.390
in. (8.3 mm to 9.9 mm) as shown in Figure 2-13.
5. Adjust clearance by turning shaft nut (64, Figure
2-8).
NOTE: If the magnetic switch being removed has a

diode across the coil terminals, mark the leads prior
to removal to ensure correct polarity during
installation.
3. Remove mounting capscrews and washers.
Remove switch from mounting bracket.
4. The switch coil circuit can be tested as
described below.
Installation
1. Attach magnetic switch to the mounting bracket
using the capscrews and lockwashers removed
previously.
2. Inspect cables and switch terminals. Clean as
required and install cables.
3. Install the diode across the coil terminals. Be
certain diode polarity is correct. Attach wires
from the truck harness to the coil terminals (See
Figure 2-5).
4. Connect battery power as described in Cranking
Motor Installation.
D02023
D2-21
Coil Test
1. Using an ohmmeter, measure the coil resistance across the coil terminals.
a. The coil should read approximately 28 at
72F (22.2 C).
b. If the ohmmeter reads , the coil is open
and the switch must be replaced.
c. If the ohmmeter reads 0 , the coil is shorted
and the switch must be replaced.
2. Place one of the ohmmeter probes on a coil terminal and another on the switch mounting
bracket. If the meter displays any resistance
reading, the coil is grounded and the switch
must be replaced.
3. The ohmmeter should display when the probes
are placed across the switch terminals.
NOTE: The switch terminals should show continuity
when 24 VDC is applied to the coil terminals,
however high resistance across the internal switch
contacts due to arcing etc. could prevent the switch
from delivering adequate current to the cranking
motor. If the coil tests are satisfactory but the switch
is still suspect, it should be replaced with a new part.

24 VDC ELECTRICAL SYSTEM COMPONENTS

PASSENGER SEAT BASE
COMPARTMENT
LUBRICATION SYSTEM TIMER
The 24 VDC electrical system components shown in

Figure 3-1 are accessed by unlatching the passenger
seat base lid and tilting the passenger seat forward.
The electrical schematics in Section R should be
used when troubleshooting problems with the following components.
Automatic Lubrication System lubrication interval is

controlled by the timer (17, Figure 3-1). Lubrication
cycle frequency can be adjusted by removing the
timer cover and selecting one of five different timing
intervals available. System on time is automatically
determined by the timer and is not adjustable. Refer
to Section P for additional automatic lubrication
system details.
5 MINUTE IDLE TIMER COMPONENTS
COMPONENTS
TAIL LIGHT RESISTOR DIODE ASSEMBLIES
The tail light resistor diode assembly RD1, RD2 (2,
Figure 3-1) is a circuit designed to vary the intensity
of each of the stop/tail lamp bulbs.
With the tail lights on, a resistor in series with the
lamp reduces voltage supplied to the lamp, thereby
reducing the lamp intensity. When the service brakes
are applied and the stop lights are activated, current
flows from the stop light relay, through a diode,
bypassing the resistor and applies 24 VDC to the
lamp filament.
RD1 controls the left lamp and RD2 controls the right
lamp. No adjustments are available or necessary.
INCLINOMETER
The inclinometer (8) is used by the on-board load
weighing system to determine whether the truck is on
a level surface or tilted fore or aft. The information
provided by the inclinometer is sent to the weighing
system for use in calculating the payload. Refer to
Section M for detailed information on the inclinometer and on board load weighing system.
BRAKE WARNING BUZZER (BWB)
The brake warning buzzer (11) provides an audible
alarm for the operator if a malfunction occurs in the
hydraulic service brake system. Refer to Section J for
additional operational details.
D03026
The 5 minute idle timer circuit automatically provides

approximately 5 minutes engine idle time before
actual engine shutdown occurs. This system allows
the engine cooling system to circulate coolant to
reduce and stabilize engine component temperatures, when engine power requirements are minimal,
resulting in extended engine life.
The circuit is controlled by a 3-position rocker switch.
Pressing the bottom of the switch will turn the circuit
OFF. The engine will shut down by use of the Key
Switch, console mounted Engine Shutdown Switch,
or the Ground Level Shutdown Switch.
With the rocker switch in the middle position, the circuit is ON, but does not activate the 5 minute idle
timer circuit. The engine can be shut down immediately using any one of the three switches described
above.
When the top of the switch is depressed and held
momentarily, the idle timer circuit is activated. At the
same time, the operator must turn the keyswitch to
the OFF position. When released, the rocker switch
will return to the ON (middle) position, and the 5
minute idle timer circuit is latched on through the
switch. The amber 5 Minute Idle Timer lamp in the
overhead display will illuminate. The engine will then
shut down after the 5 minute period.
However, if during the 5 minute idle timing sequence,
the 5 minute delay switch (on the instrument panel) is
pressed to the OFF position, the console shutdown
switch is depressed, or the Ground Level Shutdown
switch is activated, the engine will shut down immediately, followed by the normal shutdown of all systems.

the operator presses the 5 minute idle timer engine
shutdown switch mounted on the instrument panel.
(This is a momentary switch that also latches the 5
minute idle timer in the energized position.) When the
timer is energized, internal contacts close and energize the relay and contactor described below.
The Data Store switch (18) allows a technician to

store propulsion system event data during truck
operation while troubleshooting the system. Refer to
Section E for additional information.
5 Minute Idle Relay

The relay (12) contacts close when the idle delay
timer is energized. When the contacts are closed, the
AID system indicator light circuit (12M) is grounded
through the 5 minute idle timer indicator lamp on
the overhead display, turning the lamp on.
5 Minute Idle Contactor
The contactor (7) energizes the idle timer and maintains current flow to the engine run circuit if the
operator turns the key switch off.
5 MINUTE IDLE CIRCUIT TEST
Check 5 minute idle timer circuits as follows:
1. With the key switch ON, press the Engine Shutdown switch firmly to the momentary position
and release (switch will return to the ON position).
2. Turn the key switch OFF and verify the following:

ALARM INDICATING DEVICE (AID) SYSTEM

The Alarm Indicating Device (16) is connected to the
electrical accessories circuits to provide the operator
with a warning indication of a malfunction. This system consists of up to eight printed circuit cards,
located under the passenger seat in the operators
cab. The actual quantity of cards will depend on
options installed on the truck.
The AID system enables the indicating lights to be
flashing or constant. The AID also has the capability
of operating an audible alarm along with the light.
The eight printed circuit cards are (refer to Figure 32):
Diode Matrix (With Sound) Card . . . . . . (Slot 1)
Diode Matrix (Without Sound) Card . . . (Slot 2)
Hot Switch Inverter Card . . . . . . . . . . . (Slot 3)
lamps are fed by circuits 12FD (flashing) and 12MD

(steady).
When an indicator circuit is not activated, there is no
ground circuit for the bulb. When the Indicator detecting switch activates the circuit, it grounds the lamp
and grounds the flasher circuit through the diodes.
Any circuits connected to terminals C1 through C8
will operate in the same manner. The alarm horn is
not activated by this card.
Diode Matrix (With Sound)
The Diode Matrix With Sound Card (1, Figure 3-2)
works very much like the other Diode Matrix Card,
except that it contains extra diodes to activate the
alarm horn in addition to the flasher. The circuits connected to terminals A1 through A8 operate in the
same manner.

The following information briefly describes each card

and its function. Refer to Section R for circuit components described below.
Prior to welding on the truck, disconnect the AID

system plug-in cards.
FIGURE 3-2. AID SYSTEM CARD ENCLOSURE
Diode Matrix (Without Sound)

The Diode Matrix Without Sound Card (2, Figure 3-2)
consists of a series of diodes capable of working with
eight different indicator circuits. The indicator light
can be a flashing light by connecting it to the 12F circuit or a steady light by connecting it to the 12M circuit. In addition, some of the indicator light circuits
are routed through a dimmer module to allow the
operator to vary the intensity of the lamps. These

Hot Switch Inverter

The Hot Switch Inverter Card in slot 3 (3, Figure 3-2)
is used to operate and test the service brake indicator light. In normal conditions Q4 transistor is off and
the Indicator Light is off. When the stoplight switch is
activated, 24 volts is sent to pin E of the Hot Switch
Inverter Card. Transistor Q4 is turned on by this voltage and, in turn, grounds the service brake Indicator
Light. There is no alarm horn operation with this card.
A second circuit on this card is used to operate and
test the Retard Speed Control indicator light. When
RSC is turned Off, transistor Q7 is off and the indicator light is off. When RSC is turned on, 24 volts is
sent to pin J of the card. This voltage turns on Q7,
grounding the indicator light circuit.
Hot Switch Inverter Card (Slot 4) (Not Used)
Temperature
The Temperature Card is used to turn on the High Oil
Temperature Indicator Light. The indicator light tells
the operator hydraulic tank oil temperature has
exceeded acceptable levels. Normal temperature
setting is 204F (96C). As the temperature goes up
the resistance in the probe decreases providing a
ground path for the indicator light and alarm horn.
Oil Level
The Oil Level Card is used to turn on the Low Oil
Level Indicator Light to warn the operator engine oil/
hydraulic tank oil level is below acceptable levels.
The oil float is connected to a variable resistor. As the
oil level decreases, the resistance goes down causing Q3 to turn on, grounding the indicator light and
alarm horn.
Temperature and Latch
The Temperature and Latch Card (5, Figure 3-2) has
two circuits to operate two different indicating lights.
The temperature circuit is controlled by a coolant
temperature sensor which decreases electrical resistance as its temperature increases. It will have a
resistance of approximately 1000 ohms at 185F
(85C) and 500 ohms at 250F (122C). Normal setting is 204F (96C).
When the temperature is low and the resistance is
high, Q1 is off and no high temperature indication
occurs. When the coolant temperature is excessive,
resistance decreases to a point where Q1 will turn on
and ground the flasher through D8, the alarm horn
through D12, and the High Temperature Light
through terminal D8. R14 can adjust the temperature
(resistance) at which the circuit is activated.
D03026
NOTE: Some electronic engine controls monitor

coolant temperature. If the engine controls monitor
the circuit, a 2K resistor is installed to replace the
temperature sensor and disable the AID system
circuit.
The Latch Circuit monitors the accumulator precharge pressure switches. When one of the pressure
switches closes, Q5 will be turned off which supplies
power to the gate of SCR Q7. With Q7 turned on, Q9
will supply the ground path to turn on the Low Accumulator Precharge Indicator Light and sound the
alarm horn. The Indicator Light is connected to 12F
and will flash off and on. The SCR will remain on until
power is removed from the card by turning the key
switch Off.
Coolant Level/Flasher
The Coolant Level and Flasher Card (6, Figure 3-2)
contains two separate circuits. The flasher circuit at
the top of the card has Q12 transistor biased to be
saturated when no malfunction is present, resulting
in there being 24 volt positive output on pin H of the
card and on wire 12F. When a indicating circuit is
activated, the ground side of the circuit connected to
card pin K is grounded. Q12 will turn off initially and
then after a delay, adjusted by R20, will turn on and
off to give the intermittent 24 volt output.
The other half of the circuitry on the Coolant Level
and Flasher Card operates the Coolant Level Light.
The Water Level Probe connected to terminal B11
grounds the 31L circuit when the coolant in the radiator is above the probe position. The coolant saturates
the probe and electrically grounds the circuit. When
the circuit is grounded, Q6 transistor is off, resulting
in no indication. When the coolant level drops below
the probe, 31L is no longer grounded and Q6 turns
on to ground the flasher through D5, ground the
Coolant Level Light through terminal D11, and
ground the alarm horn through D6. The light and
alarm horn will operate intermittently as their 24 volt
supply is from circuit 12F, the flasher output.
NOTE: Some electronic engine controls monitor
coolant level. If the engine controls monitor the
circuit, a 2K resistor is installed to replace the
probe and disable the AID system circuit.
Lamp Test
All of the card circuits are connected to the Lamp
Test Switch on the overhead display area. In normal
operation, these circuits are open and not functional.
When the operator pushes the Lamp Test Switch, it
activates all the indicator circuits by grounding them.
This is used to verify that all lamps are functional.

BATTERY EQUALIZER BOX

Most truck control and accessory circuits operate at
24VDC. However, a 12VDC Power Source is available for the cigar lighter socket, power window
motors, and AM/FM, communications and dispatch
radios.
For this purpose, a battery equalizer system is utilized to obtain the required 12VDC and insure that
the two pairs of 12 volt, series wired batteries are
charged and discharged equally.
The battery equalizer is mounted in a box on the right
hand deck. This box also contains the DDEC circuit
breakers (when equipped with DDC 4000 engine),
12VDC control relay, 12VDC circuit breaker, and the
main battery disconnect switch. (See Figure 3-3.)
Troubleshooting
Refer to the Battery information in this section of
the manual for detailed instructions regarding proper
battery maintenance and service procedures. Prior to
troubleshooting the battery equalizer system, inspect
all battery circuit connections for excessive corrosion, loose cables, ground connections etc.
Use the following procedure to check the battery
equalizer.
1. Check the circuit breakers.
a. If a circuit breaker has opened, check circuits and repair cause.
b. Reset circuit breaker.
2. Check battery voltage with the battery equalizer
connected and the engine running.

BODY-UP SWITCH
HOIST LIMIT SWITCH
The body-up switch is designed to prevent propulsion in Reverse with the dump body raised. This
switch also prevents forward propulsion unless the
override button is depressed and held.
The hoist limit switch actuates a solenoid in the hoist

circuit to stop the hoist cylinders short of full extension and prevent possible damage to the dump body
or hoist cylinders.
The body-up switch, located on the right frame rail

ahead of the body guide, must be adjusted to within
limits. Improper adjustment or loose mounting bolts
may cause false signals or damage to the body-up
switch assembly. The switch should be checked daily
and the sensing area cleaned of any dirt or metallic
dust accumulation.
The hoist limit switch is located inside the right frame

rail above the rear suspension. The switch must be
properly adjusted at all times. Improper adjustment
or loose mounting bolts may cause false signals or
damage to the switch assembly.
The hoist limit switch should be checked daily and
the sensing area cleaned of any dirt or metallic dust
accumulation.
Adjustment
With body raised and hoist cylinders within 10 in.
(254 mm) of maximum travel, make the following
adjustments:
Adjust the proximity switch bracket to maintain an air
gap (Dimension A, Figure 3-5) between the sensing
area and actuator bracket, of between 0.50 in. (12.7
mm) minimum and 0.62 in. (15.7 mm) maximum. Set
up measurement B should be approximately 1.50
in. (38.1 mm).
Service
Keep sensing area clean, free of metallic dust and
other debris that may damage or inhibit operation of
the limit switch. If the switch is not functioning or
damaged the unit must be replaced.

24 VOLT RELAY AND DIODE BOARDS
RELAY BOARDS
The truck is equipped with 5 relay boards and a

diode board to provide control in many of the 24 volt
electrical system circuits. Some trucks may have a
sixth (Auxiliary) relay board installed.
Description
Each relay board contains 4 relays, all of which are

interchangeable.
Each relay board also contains circuit breakers,
which are also interchangeable between the relay
boards.
DO NOT interchange or replace any circuit

breaker with one of a different capacity than
specified for that circuit. Serious damage or fire
may result if the wrong capacity circuit breaker is
used.
The six relay boards and their primary use are identified as follows:
Relay Board 1 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . Turn Signal
Relay Board 2 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . Payload Meter

Diode Board 1
Refer to Table I, Circuit Breakers for the circuits
each circuit breaker protects.
D3-8
Each relay board is equipped with four green lights

(9, Figure 3-6) and one red light (7). The four green
lights are labeled K1, K2, K3, or K4. These lights will
be ON only when that particular control circuit has
been switched ON and the relay coil is being energized. The light will not turn on if the relay board does
not receive the 24 volt signal to turn ON a component, or if the relay coil has an open circuit.
The red Breaker Open light (if ON) indicates that a
circuit breaker (on that relay board) is in the OFF
position. A light on the overhead display panel will
also illuminate, informing the operator that a circuit
breaker is in the OFF position. The red breaker
open light will turn ON whenever there is a voltage
difference across the two terminals of a circuit
breaker.
If a control switch has been turned ON and a green
(K) light is ON, but that component is not operating,
check the following on the relay board for that circuit:
Check for a circuit breaker that is in the OFF
position or a red (breaker open) light is ON.
If a circuit breaker is OFF, turn it ON.
Check operation of component. If it trips
again, check the wiring or component for
defects that could be causing the circuit to be
overloaded.
The contacts inside the relay may not be
closing, preventing an electrical connection.
Swap relays and check again. Replace
defective relays.
Check the wiring and all of the connections
between the relay board and the component
for an open circuit.
Defective component. Replace component.
Poor ground at the component. Repair the
ground connection.

If the Auxiliary Panel, Relay Board 6 is installed,
additional circuits may be added by utilizing the
empty relay terminals provided. (Refer to Figure 3-7.)
To add an additional circuit with a relay, connect the
wires as described below:
The coil circuit for the relay is the + and - terminal:
+ terminal is for positive voltage.
- terminal is for grounding of the control
circuit.
Either circuit can be switched open or closed to
control the position of the relay.
The terminals of the switched circuit from the relay
contacts are labeled as follows:
NC - Normally Closed
COM - Common
NO - Normally Open
COM terminal is for the voltage source
(protected by a circuit breaker) coming into the
relay which will supply the electrical power for the
component being controlled.
NC terminal is connected (through the relay) to
the COM terminal when the relay is not
energized (when the control circuit terminals +
& -) are not activated).
NO terminal is connected (through the relay) to
the COM terminal when the relay is energized
(by the control circuits + & -) being energized).

DIODE BOARD 1
The truck is equipped with a diode board (1, Figure
3-8) containing replaceable diodes (4). Some of the
diodes are used in the coil circuit of various relays to
suppress the resultant coil voltage spike when power
is removed from the circuit, preventing damage to
other circuit components (lamp filaments etc.). Other
diodes are used to control the flow of current in a circuit as required. Resistors may also be installed in
sockets P7 through P12 (3).
Diode Testing
Refer to the electrical schematic in Section R of this
manual for the specific circuit and diode to be tested.
If a diode failure is suspected, remove and check the
diode as follows:
1. Grasp the diode connector, compressing the
locking ears while pulling the connector off the
board. Note the connector key used to ensure
correct polarity.
NOTE: Some digital multimeters are designed to test
diodes. If this type is used, follow the manufacturer's
instructions for proper test.
2. An analog ohmmeter can be used to test the
diode as follows:
a. Place the meter on the X100 scale.
b. With the red meter lead (+) on the banded
end of the diode and the black lead (-) on the
other diode lead, the meter should read
between 1000 and 2000 ohms.
c. Reverse the meter leads and read infinite
resistance.
3. If no resistance is read on the meter, the diode is
open and must be replaced.
4. If the meter reads zero ohms, the diode is
shorted and must be replaced.

1. Electric shock can cause serious or fatal injury. Only qualified electrical maintenance personnel should perform electrical testing. Use caution during test procedures to protect personnel from injury. All potential testing should be considered hazardous and proper
precautions are necessary.
2. General Electric DOES NOT recommend removing control cards or panel connectors prior to
welding. When welding on a truck, connect the welder's ground cable directly to, or as close
as possible to the part being welded. Welder cables should not be placed near truck system
power cables or wiring harnesses.
3. Any time one of the plug-in circuit cards must be removed or reinstalled, be certain that the
control power switch is Off. Wear a properly grounded wrist strap when removing a card to
prevent damage caused by static electricity. After card removal, place in a static proof bag or
container.
4. Extreme care should be exercised to prevent damage to the various semi- conductor devices
and low impedance circuits under test. When using an ohmmeter to check diodes, transistors and low power conductors, care must be used when using the ohms x 1 scale. Excessive
current can damage the meter. When using the Hi-pot tester or megger, disconnect the 104
pin connectors CNA, CNB, CND and CNE located at the top of the 17FL275 panel. Refer to the
GE publication VEHICLE TEST INSTRUCTIONS FOR OHV STATEX III SYSTEMS for additional instructions.
5. Do not make open circuit voltage checks in propulsion mode.
6. Parking brakes and service brakes have to be released for some tests. When this occurs,
make sure wheels are blocked.

ELECTRICAL PROPULSION COMPONENTS

GENERAL SYSTEM DESCRIPTION
CONTROL SYSTEM
The electric propulsion and control system of the

Komatsu truck consists of an engine driven alternator
and cooling air blower, control system, wheel motors,
retarding grids and blower motor. The alternator produces A.C. current which is rectified to D.C. current.
The wheel motors use D.C. current to operate as
motors in propulsion and generators in retarding.
The Statex III control system electronics provide all of

the functions necessary to initiate and regulate operation of the truck. It monitors operator input and system
feedback signals, calculates a response, and initiates
the appropriate control action.
When the operator selects FORWARD or REVERSE

propulsion, the armatures of the motors drive planetary
gear sets connected to the rear wheels to propel the
truck in FORWARD or REVERSE.
During truck operation, the operator initiates command
signals to the engine and control system. The signals
are received at the FL275 electronic card panel initiating a series of checks to determine the status of system components. After checking the control system,
the FL275 panel energizes the necessary contactors to
set up the control system for propulsion or retarding
and send a control signal to the static exciters.
During it's operation, the FL275 panel maintains the
propulsion system within the design limits of the alternator, engine, and wheel motors. Regulation of alternator field current and engine speed determine traction
motor armature current. Regulation of motor field current determines traction motor horsepower.
The control system responds to electrical signals generated by the operator and by feedback signals generated by various devices within the system. These
feedback signals monitor voltage, current, speed, etc.
of the various control and propulsion equipment.
When the operator depresses the retard pedal or the
truck exceeds the automatic overspeed setting, the
dynamic retarding circuit is activated causing the wheel
motors to become generators. The truck momentum
causes the armatures of the wheel motors to rotate,
generating a D.C. output that is applied across the
retarding grids. This load opposes armature rotation to
slow the truck. The energy from the wheel motor is dissipated in the retarding grids in the form of heat.
Retarding grid cooling is provided by a motor-driven
fan, blowing air across the grids. The cooling air blower
connected in-line to the rear of the alternator provides
cooling air for the static exciters, alternator and wheel
motors during truck operation.
Refer to the following information for detailed descriptions of component functions.
E02016 2/02
The system . . . .
Establishes the propulsion circuit by energizing
contactors P1, P2 (if installed), MF, GF, and

GFR to power the wheelmotors.
Establishes the retarding circuit by energizing
contactors MF, GF, GFR, RP1, RP2, RP3, RP4,
RP5, (and optionally RP6, RP7, RP8 and RP9)
for extended range retarding to connect grid
resistors RG1 and RG2 in the motor circuits.
Extended range retarding is regulated automatically by sequentially energizing the RP3-RP9
contactors.
Provides current limit control so that specific
rates may be maintained in both motoring and
retarding.
Provides Retard Speed Control for automatic
speed regulation on long down-hill runs.
Provides two-speed overspeed control which
allows a higher overspeed restriction when traveling empty.
Provides Alternator Tertiary Winding protection
and Wheelmotor overcurrent protection.
Initiates the necessary operating restrictions,
including the shut down of the truck if a system
fault is detected. Lesser faults or events cause
respective indicating lights to light. All events
are recorded for future review by technicians.
Provides fault/event information to the operator/
technician as to the status of the system via the
2-digit display panel, located in the control cabinet. This panel, showing a two digit display of
00 to 99, indicates to the technician the existence of possible faults or other events which
have occurred within the control and/or propulsion system.
Provides automatic and manual diagnostic selftest routines to detect faults and to assist maintenance personnel in locating a poorly operating system/subsystem.
Provides a statistical data history log which indicates lifetime, quarterly, monthly and daily performance data. This history log can be
accessed using a laptop computer, and can
be a valuable aid in determining equipment use
and maintenance schedules.
Electrical Propulsion Components
E2-1
System Operation
When the operator depresses the accelerator foot
pedal to propel the truck, two signals are generated.
One signal is generated by a potentiometer on the foot
pedal and is sent to the engine control system to regulate engine speed. The other signal is generated by
closing a switch* and is sent to the digital input/output
card to set up propulsion circuits for power.
The output of the FM528 rectifier panel is variable high

voltage DC current, used to power the Motorized
Wheels. A full wave bridge in the panel rectifies the 3phase input voltage from the Alternator to DC.
In parallel with the Motorized Wheels, high voltage DC
is also fed to the VMM1 panel, to be used for feedback
to the control system.
*NOTE: On trucks equipped with the Fuel Saver

system, the foot pedal potentiometer signal is sent
directly to the FL275 panel and the switch signal is not
required.
High voltage from the power circuit is attenuated by the

VMM1 panel to a level acceptable to the electronics on
the analog input/output card. From there it is processed
through the CPU card to bias power and retard
demand signals in the analog card.
A speed sensor signal from the engine is sent to the

analog input and output card to establish the acceleration (power) reference signal used by the propulsion
control system to establish horsepower demand.
Speed Sensor signals from both Motorized Wheels are

sent to the control system analog input and output card
to operate various speed event functions.
NOTE: The analog input and output card in the FL275

panel responds to both accelerator and retard foot
pedal signals. Both signals are processed through the
central processing unit CPU, returned to the analog
card where another signal is generated and fed to the
FM466 and FM467 Static Exciter panels.
The output signal from the analog card is a burst of firing pulses. This AC signal is constant in frequency and
amplitude, and is of both negative and positive polarities. Synchronizing AC signals from the tertiary windings of the Alternator provide timing to synchronize the
firing pulses to the AC power frequency from the Alternator.
NOTE: Firing pulses are generated according to the
demand from the operator (accelerate or retard) and
biased by feedback signals from the power circuit.
They are used to fire Silicon Control Rectifiers (SCRs)
in two, single-phase, full-wave rectifier bridges, one
each in FM466 and FM467 rectifier panels, and
thereby regulate output current from these panels.
The output current from the FM466 AFSE (Alternator
Field Static Exciter) panel energizes the field coils of
the Alternator. The level of current in this field coil
determines Alternator output.
The output current from the FM467 MFSE (Motor Field
Static Exciter) panel energizes the field coils of the
Motorized Wheels. The level of current in these field
coils determine motor horsepower output.
The CPU card uses speed sensor signals to develop

various levels of output voltages for use in generating
the speed taper function in retarding and for (optionally) driving the speedometer and tachometer.
NOTE: Speed taper is used to reduce maximum
dynamic retarding effort at high truck speeds. This is to
protect the Motorized Wheel motors from excessive
current and possible damage.
When the operator depresses the retard foot pedal to
slow the truck, a signal is generated by a potentiometer
on the foot pedal and sent to the control system to
establish the retarding circuits and the desired retarding effort.
A wheel slide compensation option, Wet Weather
Retard Speed Control, can be enabled which will modify the method of retarder application on slippery roads.
This software settable option reduces wheel slide during operation on wet or icy roads by automatically
reducing the retarding effort (requested by the operator) to a slipping wheel if the system senses a slide is
occurring. When the system determines the slipping
wheel has regained traction (the wheel speed
increases to approximate the speed of the non-slipping
wheel), retarding effort is restored based on the
amount of retarding effort requested by the operator.
The main output voltage from the Alternator, generated

by the rotation of the Alternator rotor and regulated by
its exciter field coil, is 3-phase high voltage AC. This
AC power is fed to a rectifier panel to convert AC to DC
for use in the Motorized Wheel armatures.

FL275 PANEL
NOTES:
The FL275 electronic card panel contains a microprocessor (CPU), a small computer which monitors a variety of input signals and establishes certain controlling
output signals which result in the regulation of the propulsion system. If a laptop computer, referred to as a
Portable Test Unit (PTU) is connected, it can also provide a readout of the memory of the operating history
of many of the sub-systems which make up the control
system. This is useful to technicians looking for problem areas during troubleshooting.
* Later model trucks, shipped July 2001 and later are

equipped with a 17FB144 card, replacing the 17FB101
card.
Setting up new trucks or making changes to truck control system parameters requires a PTU and an authorized technician to operate it. The microprocessor in
the electronic card panel can only be changed electronically with appropriate commands and programs
using the PTU.
Previous control systems provided on Komatsu trucks
required system adjustments to be made by removing
the plug-in control cards and adjusting potentiometers
mounted on the cards. With the FL275 panel, no control card removal is required. The majority of adjustments are made electronically using a menu driven
software program installed on the hard disk drive of the
laptop computer (PTU). The PTU is then connected
to a 9 pin connector mounted in the control cabinet or
cab of the truck enabling communication with the
microprocessor (CPU).
The FL275 panel has five 104-pin connectors mounted
above the cards for connecting input and output circuits. They are identified as CNA, CNB, CNC, CND
and CNE. Only four connectors are used; connector
CNC is not used.
The cards in this panel are protected by a cover which

is hinged at the bottom, swings up, and latches at the
top.
The card complement of the FL275 panel consists of
the following five cards:
** Trucks equipped with Fuel Saver circuitry require

17FB140 card to replace 17FB102 card.
The FL275 panel receives input signals from speed

sensors on the alternator and wheelmotors, voltage
and current feedback signals from various control
devices, and command inputs from the operator. Using
these inputs, it provides the following:
Propulsion and dynamic retarding control of the

truck.
Speed restrictions during overspeed and other

operating restrictions if faults occur.
Event data for technicians through the 2-Digit

Diagnostic Display panel.
Statistical data of the history of various component and system function operations, accessible only with a PTU.
It is also capable of receiving inputs from the engine

(oil pressure, crankcase pressure, engine coolant pressure, and engine coolant temperature), wheelmotor
temperature, and alternator blower pressure to provide
warning signals to the driver if malfunctions in these
areas occur.
Additionally, on current production trucks (equipped
with Fuel Saver), the FL275 panel monitors alternator
intake temperature and static exciter temperatures to
provide:
Engine low idle speed reduced to 650 RPM.

Control of engine RPM during propel to obtain
the most efficient engine speed for the amount

of power requested by the operator.
Control of engine RPM during retarding ranging
17FB100 - Power Supply (P1)

17FB101/144* - Central Processing Unit (CPU)
from a low of 1250 RPM to a high of 1650 RPM.
17FB102/140** - Analog Input/Output (A1)

17FB103 - Digital Input/Output (D1)
17FB104 - Digital Input/Output (D2)
E02016 2/02
E2-3
CARD REPLACEMENT
CARD REPAIR
FB cards in the FL275 panel are not field repairable.
Should one of the cards become inoperable, it should
be returned to the Komatsu Distributor under the GE
Unit Exchange Program.
Some of the components on the cards are sensitive

to static electricity. To prevent damage, it is recommended that a properly connected ground strap be
worn whenever removing, handling or installing a
card. After a card has been removed, it must be
carried and stored in a static proof bag or container. Be certain control power is OFF before
removing a card.
NOTE: There are no adjustment potentiometers on the
control cards. Cards should not be removed during
troubleshooting unless it has been determined that a
card is at fault.
Removal
1. The FB cards are removed by first loosening the
two spring clips on the top of the hinged cover.
Swing the cover down to gain access to the
cards.
Cards should be packed in a special shipping container, designed specifically for shipping these cards.
Contact your Komatsu Distributor for instructions on
how to obtain these containers.
PANEL WIRING
The connectors for the FB cards, located on the end of
the card that plugs into the panel, each contain 210
pins.
The panel back, or backplane, has receptacles for the
card connectors, each having 210 pins to which wires
are wrapped, not soldered. The wrapping is done with
a special tool which wraps the wire tightly around the
pin. The pins are long enough to enable connecting
multiple wires. The panel backplane also has printed
circuits on it to facilitate inter-card circuit connections.
2. Each card is locked in place with a locking quickrelease lever at the top and bottom. Lift both
levers at the same time to release the locking
arrangement and move the card out of the socket
in the backplane.
3. Using both hands, grasp the card at the top and
bottom and pull gently. It will slide easily in its
guide strips to complete the removal.
4. Place the card in a static proof bag or container.
Installation
The cards are keyed to prevent them from inadvertently being inserted into the wrong card slot.
1. To install a card, carefully insert it into its top and
bottom card slots. Slide the card into the panel
until the locking quick-release levers are close to
the panel edges.
2. Hold the levers and gently press the card further
into the panel, feeling the card and backplane
connectors start to engage. When the card is
inserted far enough for the locking levers to catch
on the panel edge, move both locking levers to
the locking position at the same time.
3. Swing the cover up and over the cards, latching
the two spring clips at the top.

COMPUTER DESCRIPTION
A total understanding of the following concepts is not
essential to properly maintaining and troubleshooting
the Komatsu truck control system. This information is
presented as additional background information concerning operation of the FL275 panel computer and
software programs required for operation. The technician should however, become familiar with basic operation of portable, MSDOS operating system computers
(PTU) and must have the ability to use the menu operated software described later in this publication. These
skills are necessary for programming the FL275 panel
computer, troubleshooting, and obtaining statistical
data.
Microprocessor
The microprocessor, located on the FB101 card (or
FB144 card on later model trucks), contains the logical
elements necessary to perform calculations and to
carry out stored instructions. It is used as the central
processing unit (CPU) of a computer. Computer operation is managed by a software program, which resides
in the computer's memory. The software program also
contains instructions to test and fault isolate the system.
A program is a sequence of specific instructions in an
order that, when the microprocessor executes them,
proper results occur. A program is generally stored in a
read-only-memory (ROM). To execute the program,
the microprocessor reads an instruction from ROM,
interprets the instruction, performs whatever task that
is dictated by the instruction, and then starts the process over again by reading a new instruction from
ROM.
The microprocessor utilizes address, control, and data
buses to accomplish the above process. A bus is a
group of wires or circuits that collectively serve a similar function. For example, the address bus identifies
the location that the microprocessor is reading from or
writing to. The data bus provides a path for the flow of
data from one point to another. The control bus is
somewhat different from the other two buses in that
each wire normally serves a separate and generally
unrelated function used to control the actions of the
system.
While executing the program, reading and writing of
data is often necessary. This data is stored in a random-access-memory (RAM). A RAM is a temporary
storage device, that is, if power to the RAM is lost, the
data is cleared. The RAM stores all types of data, such
as, input/status from external devices, fault information,
specific program addresses, etc.
E02016 2/02
The final result is to provide instructions to external

devices that tell them when and/or how to operate.
Throughout the execution of the program, the microprocessor acts like a traffic officer; taking in instructions, interpreting them, and acting accordingly in order
to process instructions to the output.
Download Capability
The computer can be reprogrammed by downloading
new software into its memory. Downloading refers to
transferring software program instructions from the
PTU to the FL275 panel FB101/144 card through the
serial port connector cable. This capability allows the
system software to be changed if any new hardware or
software option is to be installed or if an updated version of the existing software is to be implemented.
SOFTWARE
Software refers to computer programs written using
coded instructions that can be understood by the CPU.
The following is a brief description of how the software
establishes and regulates propulsion and retarding.
Base Monitor Program
The Base Monitor Program performs functions for the
system, including power-up tests on the CPU card.
This software is programmed on four Eprom chips at
the factory and installed on the FB101/144 card.
Runtime Monitor Program - OBJRunning Code
The Runtime Monitor Program is used to control common truck functions. It is downloaded to Flash (Electrically Erasable Read Only Memory) chips on the CPU
card from OBJ files stored on the PTU hard drive. This
is done initially during factory check-out and can be
redone in the field using the PTU.
After being downloaded to Flash, it is then copied to
RAM (Random Access Memory) chips on the CPU
card at system power-up.
This software:
Controls contactors, relays, lights, solenoid, firing pulses, etc.
Monitors truck running parameters and stores

event/fault data for later examination.
Communicates with the PTU to display operating parameters and event/fault data.
E2-5
Configuration Software - CFG
PTU - Portable Test Unit Code
The CFG program is used to set values which are specific to a particular Komatsu truck model, such as
engine, alternator and wheelmotor configuration, retard
current limit, speed taper, power reference and control
stability constants.
The PTU program is used to enable menu driven viewing of truck data in the CPU while the truck is moving or
stationary. Using the PTU, it can also be used to view
and change contactor positions.
The operating software that controls current, voltage

and horsepower limit in propulsion and current, speed
taper and field amps in retarding uses a set of constants and look-up functions unique to and consistent
with the configuration on each Komatsu truck model.
The CFG program is also used to set values which are
specific to a particular mine, such as overspeed settings.
Configuration software, also sometimes referred to as
configuration download software, allows the end user
(mine) or Komatsu Distributor to select, via an easy to
use, menu driven program screen, any one of a number of pre-recorded configurations stored in the PTU
software. All the user has to do is select the configuration file that matches the truck being serviced.
The available combinations have been pre-recorded to
be consistent with and ensure proper limits on the components used in that system. Thus, the Mine personnel
do not have to be concerned with questions such as:
Is this the correct current limit for a GE776 or GE772
wheel? or Will speed taper in retarding work properly
if I use a wheel with 23:1 gear ratio? The configuration
software will ensure compatible combinations of
parameters.
The Mine technician must select or create the correct
CFG file to match the truck.
The CFG program is downloaded to Flash chips on the
CPU card from CFG files on the PTU hard drive. This is
done initially during factory checkout, and can be
redone in the field using the PTU.
It is also used to establish a communication link

between the PTU and the CPU to download OBJ and
CFG software files.
The PTU program is loaded onto the PTU hard drive
using GE/Komatsu supplied floppy disks. Instructions
for loading this software onto the PTU and downloading to the CPU are discussed later in this section.
System Regulation
The micro-processor, located on the CPU card
(17FB101 or 17FB144), in the FL275 panel is set up
electronically with the use of a Portable Test Unit
(PTU) when the software described previously is downloaded. After being set up, certain operating parameters can be changed to fine tune the system to a
particular road profile.
In addition to establishing propulsion and retarding circuits and regulating truck speed and retarding, the software restricts the control system from certain
transitions under certain conditions. For example, the
system will not allow a direction change while in the
retard or propulsion without passing through the
nomo, or no motion state. The software does,
however, allow transition among the three retard states
when in retard, these states being retarding, retard
speed control and overspeed. These transitions are
allowed because, once the contactors are in the retard
position, no other contactor changes are necessary.
NOTE: The term nomo is a state which is entered at a
truck speed of 0.30 mph or less.
NOTE: This MUST be done if the FB101/144 card is

changed
E2-6
2/02 E02016
Propulsion
Retarding
As part of the total software package, a particular

group of regulatory software commands is included
called a state machine. The state machine controls
the various operating functions of truck operation.
When the operator presses the retard pedal, acceleration is canceled and the propulsion contactors are
dropped out. The state machine enters the coast
state and then the into retarding state. It remains in
this state until all of the contactors necessary for
retarding are in the correct position.
The software implements the state machine by keeping

track of which state the truck is in, and which state the
truck is allowed to move into if the operator requests a
different mode of operation.
For example, assume the operator has turned the key
switch On to start the control system software, and
then starts the engine. When the accelerator pedal is
pressed to request contactor sequence and excitation,
the state machine enforces a sequence of actions.
The state machine then enters the retard state. Firing pulses are issued to the static exciters based on
operator request and on various system feedbacks.
First, the software initializes the system. This includes

ensuring that the contactors are all positioned correctly. (Initialization takes about 8 seconds after control
power has been applied to the FL275 panel.)
Then, when the initialization is completed, the state
becomes the nomo, or no motion, state. No propulsion or braking contactors are picked up.
Next, the state machine enters the into accelerate
state. This state can only be entered if there are no
restriction flags set in the software such as brake (service or park), ACCINH, DUMPBS, NAFLT, or GNDFLT. In this state, contactor sequence is initiated. If all
contactors necessary for acceleration are in their correct positions, then the state machine enters the
accelerate state. If the contactor sequence does not
complete successfully, then a fault, NAFLT, prohibiting
acceleration is tripped.
When the state machine enters the accelerate state,
firing commands can be issued. Firing commands are
based on operator request and truck volt and amp
feedbacks. They are used to generate a pulse burst firing signal from the CPU. The Alternator is thus excited,
generating electrical power (horsepower) to the wheelmotors which will drive the truck forward or backward,
depending on the position of the selector switch.

2-DIGIT DISPLAY PANEL

The 2-Digit Display panel (Figure 2-1.), located in the
control cabinet, consists of the following:
Two digit event number display,

First LED
Last LED
Previous (up arrow) search key
Next (down arrow) search key
Reset key
Under normal operation, with no events having been
recorded, the 2-Digit Display Panel will display only two
zeros (00). The first LED and the last LED will be
dark (not illuminated). The previous and next search
keys will be illuminated (green). The reset key will
also be illuminated (red).
NOTE: The terms event and fault are used interchangeably to indicate a system occurrence which has
been recorded into memory. The system recognizes
each as an event, that is, a fault is nothing more to the
system than an event. Some events (or faults) result in
restrictions being placed on truck operation. Therefore,
when discussing a fault situation, the term fault
seems more appropriate and less confusing.
THE CODED NUMBER
The 2-Digit Display panel displays a coded two digit
number. This number indicates certain data stored in
the memory of the CPU card regarding the recent operating history of the truck's propulsion and control systems. Refer to Table I for a description of the two digit
code numbers ranging from 00 to 99.
If an active fault condition exists, in which a fault has
not been locked out or reset, the corresponding fault
number will appear on the display. For example, if the
P1 contactor is out of position, a number thirteen (13)
will be displayed. By referring to Table I, you can
quickly determine that a 13 refers to P1 contactor.
Troubleshooting tips are provided for isolating the
cause of the fault.
If another fault were to occur, such as the RP1 feedback indicating that RP1 contactor is in the wrong position, a number seventeen (17) would be displayed.
Referring to Table I, you could see that a problem
exists with the RP1 contactor. You can also see that
the last LED is illuminated and the first LED is extinguished. This means that event 17 is the last one
stored in the 2-Digit Display. To view the first event,
simply press the previous search key (up arrow).
E2-8
FIGURE 2-1. 2-DIGIT DISPLAY PANEL

If the first event were being displayed, the first LED
would be illuminated and the last LED would be off.
This indicated that the event being displayed is the first
one in the CPU memory and that there are additional
events to be displayed. To view the last event, press
the next search key (down arrow).
Once a fault has been serviced, press the reset key
and the event will be reset. If the problem has not been
corrected, the fault will be relogged the next time it
occurs.
NOTE: Resetting the fault from the 2-Digit Display does
not remove the event from the CPU memory on the
FB101 card in the FL275 panel. This can only be done
using the Portable Test Unit (PTU).
EVENTS
This panel provides a variety of operational and fault
codes which electronically document certain system
events. For this reason, these codes are referred to as
event codes.
The diagnostic system on the CPU card stores up to
500 events. If more are encountered after the storage
is full, the system will purge the oldest event to make
room for the newest event. It will then record the fact
that this purge has occurred.
Stored events can only be removed from the system
using the PTU, or by being purged by the system when
new events occur after the storage is full.
When an event is reported, the system records the
time and date, as well as the event's code, subcode,
and 2 floating point values. This data, besides the time
and date, are determined by the section of software
reporting the event. This data is stored in the computer's memory and the event code is displayed on
the 2-Digit Display panel.
2/02 E02016
FRAMES
Every few seconds the system also collects frames
which are bits of time. The time duration of each frame
is set using the PTU, in increments of 0.01 seconds.
Frames are collected right after all of the systems'
input/output functions (events) are complete, as a
record of system function at the time of the event.
Each frame contains 40 floating point values, all digital
input and output values, the state machine's current
state at the time of the event.
Each time an event is reported, a frame (known as the
trigger frame) is kept for that event until the event is
erased.
WINDOWS
Some events may also have frame windows - a collection of 51 frames, that is, all the frames that occur
for 40 frames before the event, a frame at the event,
and 10 frames after the event.
The system will save each event window for the first 16
events that are qualified to have windows. They will be
saved until the event is erased. After 16 windows are
stored, no additional windows can be stored.
SYSTEM CATEGORIES
All of the possible events which can occur have been
programmed to fall into eight different categories, to
enable the system to respond correctly. They are:
that type) will not be decayed by the Decay Active

Events Count.
Running Count
This is the total count of all events of this type seen
since Running Count was last cleared by the PTU.
Life Count
This is the total count of all events of this type ever
recorded. The maximum number which can be
recorded is 4,294,967,295. When this number is
reached, the count will roll over.
Accept Limit
This is the number of events of this type that will be
recorded by the system. See the discussion under
Limits On Resetting Faults.
Window Captures Allowed Limit
This tells how many windows will be captured for
events of this type, subject to space restrictions.
When the window capture limit is exceeded, only a
single frame of data is saved.
Window Captures Count
This is the count of windows saved for this event
type. This value is incremented by 1 each time a
window is saved for this event type. It is decremented or cleared when events are cleared by the
PTU.
LIMITS ON RESETTING FAULTS
Active Events Count

This is the current number of events of this type
which are active, i.e., which may affect truck
operation.
Decay Active Events Count Time
This is the time in seconds which specified the rate
at which the Active Events Count decays, allowing a certain number of events to occur normally
over a given time frame without affecting truck
operation.
Lockout DOS Limit
In the fault system, there are three limits associated

with resetting faults:
Accept limit (accept_limit)
This is the limit on the number of faults which may
be stored. When the limit of a given fault is
exceeded, the oldest event of this type recorded
without a window will be replaced with the new
event, it will not be overwritten. The system does
not allow events with windows to be overwritten. If
the oldest event has a window, the oldest non-window event will be overwritten.
This controls how often a truck operator may reset

the operating restrictions caused by an event type,
using the Dump Override Switch (DOS) switch in
the cab.
If the Active Events Count is equal to the Lockout
DOS Limit for a given type, the Override switch
(DOS) will have no effect on operating restrictions
caused by that event. The Active Events Count (for
E02016 2/02
E2-9
Lockout limit (lockout_limit)
EVENT SEQUENCE
This is the limit on the number of faults which may

occur until the Dump Override Switch (DOS) will no
longer clear the restriction. For example, a GF contactor fault, (code 10) has a lockout limit of three.
Every time this fault occurs, a no acceleration
restriction is placed on the propulsion system.
When the first and second GF contactor faults
occur, the driver may bring the truck to a stop and
depress the Override switch. This will clear the
restriction and allow acceleration. On the third
occurrence of the GF contactor fault within the
decay time however, the Override switch will not
remove the no-acceleration. Rather, the RESET
button on the 2-Digit Display must be pressed, then
the driver can clear the no_accel restriction with
the Override switch.
Decay time (decay_time)
Decay time is associated with lockout-limit.
The active lockout count is decayed by one count
every decay-time period. If the driver gets two GF
contactor faults in an hour, then the third (at least
one hour after the first GF contactor fault), he will
be able to clear the third fault with the Override
switch because the oldest of the two has decayed
the lockout count to one.
There are still three data packs of GF contactor
fault information in the CPU, however. If the driver
gets three GF contactor faults in one hour, the 2Digit Display reset is required to decay the active
lockout count.
NA FAULTS
Some events, called Acceleration Inhibit faults, prohibit
the truck from accelerating. When an acc-inh fault is
reported, a SYSFLT lamp will illuminate in the cab and
acceleration will be prohibited.
The 2-Digit Display shows the event code numbers for

all event types which have Active Event Counts greater
than 0. The event types for which this is true are presented in the order in which the events have been
reported. An event appears in the list once for each
count in Active Event Counts, again in the order in
which the events were reported.
A technician may use the up and down arrow keys
on the 2-Digit Display to scroll through the list. The
first and last lights will indicate the beginning and
end of the list.
RESETTING EVENTS
When the RESET button on the 2-Digit Display is
pressed while displaying an event code, that one specific event code is reset, and the active event count is
reduced by one. If the event occurred several times,
each one must be displayed and reset to get the active
event count to zero for that event type.
If event types have Active Event Counts equal to Lockout Override switch (DOS) limit values, any acceleration inhibit restriction is removed when the event is
reset and then the Override switch (DOS) is
depressed.
EVENT DESCRIPTIONS
Refer to Table I for a listing of all of the possible events,
what restrictions (if any) would apply, and the definition
of each type. Troubleshooting tips are also provided.
SUBCODE DESCRIPTIONS
Subcodes can only be viewed using the PTU to read
stored events. Subcodes provide additional information
for the following event code numbers: 30, 32, 33 and
37. Refer to Table II for a listing of subcodes.
The truck operator may clear an acceleration inhibit

fault restriction by depressing the Override switch
(DOS). When the Override switch is depressed, the
restriction is removed, unless the Active Events Count
for 1 or more event types is equal to the Lockout Limit.
If such is the case, acceleration inhibit restriction will
remain in effect until it is reset with the 2-Digit Display
or the PTU.
When reset via the 2-Digit Display RESET button, the
Override switch must be depressed next in order to
remove the fault restriction.

SOFTWARE INSTALLATION PREPARATION
HARD DISK SPACE REQUIREMENTS
The software code disk contains the operating software

in compressed form which is automatically expanded
as the main file is copied to the PTU hard drive.
Software installation will require approximately 3.2

megabytes of disk space on the PTU hard disk. Additional space will be required for saving event and statistical data. Be certain there is enough disk space
available.
The following files are located on the disk:

STATEX III Enhanced, Version 1.0
502ddg1.exe
This file contains the Enhanced Version 1.00

software for use with trucks equipped with the
17FB144 CPU card.
Install1.bat
A batch file to be selected to start software

installation on the PTU if the PTU communicates with the truck through COM port 1.
Install2.bat

Inadequate disk space will prevent all the required

files from loading and the software will not operate
properly!
If older versions of the software must be deleted to
make space, backup all data to be retained (i.e statistical data) before deleting. Do not delete truck configuration files as they will be updated using the new version
of software
Readme.txt
A text file describing the software version and

instructions for installing the software program.
STATEX III Version 14.00
SOFTWARE INSTALLATION ON PTU
502dbg1.exe
This file contains the Version 14.00 software for

use with trucks equipped with the 17FB101
CPU card.
Install1.bat

The following instructions describe the procedures for

initial installation of the GE software on the PTU or procedures to update the PTU with the latest version software code. It is not necessary to connect the PTU to
the truck during software installation.
NOTE: To determine the latest version of software
code, contact your Komatsu Distributor. If new code is
required, the current disk can be obtained.
Install2.bat

Readme.txt
A text file describing the software version and

instructions for installing the software program.
Use the following procedure when initially installing the

GE software on the PTU hard drive or if updating the
current software to a new release version.
1. The computer must be at any DOS prompt prior
to installing the software.
2. Insert the diskette into the computer diskette
drive.
Either of the above software disks is used to update the

March 1996, Version 12.10 software release or can be
installed on a new PTU for use with the appropriate
truck, depending on the CPU card installed. Since both
versions may be required for some trucks in a fleet
equipped with the FB101 card and others equipped
with the FB144 card, the Enhanced version 1.00 and
version 14.00 are automatically installed in different
directories on the PTU.
E2-22
3. If the floppy disk drive containing the diskette is

designated drive A, type a:install1 if COM 1 is
used for attaching the serial cable to the truck for
communication or type a:install2 if COM 2 is
used for communication. Press [ENTER] to start
the software installation process.
2/02 E02016
4. If the floppy disk drive containing the diskette is

designated drive B, type b:install1 or
b:install2 and press [ENTER] key.
5. When all the diskette files have been copied to
the hard drive, a message will appear stating the
installation of the desired software version is
complete. In addition, the message states that if
this is the first time the STATEX III PTU software
has been installed on this computer, it may be
necessary to modify the AUTOEXEC.BAT and
CONFIG.SYS files to ensure proper operation.
a. The file C:\CONFIG.SYS must have the FILES
variable set to a minimum of 20 and BUFFERS variable set to a minimum of 20.
b. The file AUTOEXEC.BAT must have the following directory included in the PATH variable:
Enhanced Version 1.00 C:\GEOHV3E\TOOLS\BATS
Version 14.00 C:\GEOHV\TOOLS\BATS
6. If necessary, edit the above files using DOS to
change the minimum FILES and BUFFERS variables and to add the PATH statement as
described above.
7. Remove the diskette from the drive and reboot
the computer if the changes described in step 5
were required.
8. When using the software, at the DOS C:> prompt,
type geohv3e to start the Enhanced version
1.00 program or type geohv to start the version 14.00 program.
PTU/Truck Communication Problems

Communication problems will occur if the amount of
DOS free memory available on the PTU is less than
460K bytes after the software has loaded. If significantly less than 460K is available, it will not be possible
to communicate with the truck at all.
In some instances, if the PTU has less than (but very
close to) 460K available, the software may appear to
function properly until features such as retreiving and
saving an event to a file are attempted at which point
the program will terminate.
To determine the amount of free memory available,
start the software program and on the Main Menu,
observe the amount of free memory: displayed in the
upper right corner of the screen (see Figure 2-2). If the
amount shown is less than 460K, it will be necessary to
free up memory before using the PTU.
Suggestions for obtaining more free memory:
The following suggestions provide a starting point to
provide additional free memory. If necessary, edit the
laptop's CONFIG.SYS as follows:
Load DOS and device drivers into high memory.
Eliminate any TSR (terminate-stay-ready) pro-
grams such as shells or antivirus programs. Do

not allow Microsoft Windows to load.
Disable PCMCIA card drivers if the laptop is

equipped with PCMCIA slots.
If DOS version 6.2 or higher is used, it is advisable to create multiple start-up configurations.
This will allow the user to choose the appropriate configuration from a menu list for the
desired use of the laptop computer. A CONFIG.SYS file can be created for specific use
with the GE software, preventing unwanted
drivers from loading and using the required free
memory. Alternate menu choices will allow the
computer to boot and load the necessary drivers for other functions such as Microsoft Windows.
Note: Consult the laptop computer manufacturer's

instructions and the DOS operating system technical
manuals for editing the CONFIG.SYS file, creating
multiple configuration files, and additional suggestions
to obtain maximum free memory.
If Microsoft Windows is installed on the computer, be
certain to operate in MS-DOS mode, NOT Windows.

SCREEN to determine what this value should
be. The number entered (units are amps) can
be + or -, and it will cause the control to
change the retard current limit by that amount.
1. With the truck shut down and control power
ON, measure the output of Iso-amps IA3
and IA4 at terminal D and record the values.
2. Use the higher of the two readings. (1 amp
=0.001 volts). (For example, if the higher
reading was +0.01 volts, the offset is +10
amps.)
3. Using the above example, enter -10 amps
in the temporary screen.
4. Operate the truck and verify the correct
retard limit was obtained.
5. If the correct retard limit was observed in
step 4, enter that number (-10 in this example) on this screen to make it permanent.
Note: Items g. through j. are applicable only if truck is

PROGRAMMING THE TRUCK
Activate The PTU Mode
The following procedures should be followed to program a new truck or reprogram an operational truck
when necessary. Reprogramming is required if the
FB101 or FB144 CPU card is replaced, equipment is
added or removed, or if changes are made to the Truck
Configuration File.
It is assumed the correct Truck Configuration File is
available for programming the truck. If not available, or
if changes are required, refer to previous information in
STATEX CONFIGURATION FILES and make the
required changes before proceeding.
Perform the following steps to program the truck:
Connect PTU to the Truck
1. Connect the PTU to the control system on the
truck:
a. Connect the PTU cable male plug to the A
receptacle located at the Two-Digit Display
panel in the control cabinet or in the cab. Plug
the female connector end of the cable into the
serial port receptacle at the back of the PTU.
1. Use the arrow keys to move the cursor to the

PTU TALK TO TRUCK selection on the main
menu and press [ENTER].
2. Logon by responding to the prompts shown in
Figure 2-18, typing in your name (initials will suffice) and password.
3. A menu titled GE STATEX III PTU MAIN MENU

through necessary loading (about 10 seconds).
NOTE: Various screens may display caution
statements about contactors moving. This is to protect
maintenance personnel who may be working in the
control cabinet while the PTU is being used to perform
test and set-up functions.
NOTE: If a PTU lock-up occurs at any time during
communications with the truck, it may necessary to
start over. Perform the following:
1. If the PTU screen has a message at the bottom of
the screen, press the [SPACE] bar and wait for
the message to clear.
NOTE: Connector A is used for communication with the

truck CPU. Connector B uses a cable with a female
connector on both ends and is used for communicating
with a mine dispatch computer.
2. If the PTU still does not communicate, turn the

Control Power switch Off. (Sometimes it may be
necessary to turn the battery disconnect switch
off to insure a complete cycle of power.)
b. Provide 110 vac to the work area on the truck.

Connect the portable battery charger for the
PTU to 110 vac and the PTU. This will maintain the charge on the PTU battery.
3. If this doesn't work, press the [CTRL], [ALT] and

[DEL] keys simultaneously. This reboots the PTU
and takes the PTU to the DOS C:> prompt.
Then, type gemenu3e (or gemenu) to reopen
the main menu.
2. Turn on the PTU. After warm-up and self-test, the

DOS C:> prompt will appear.
3. Type gemenu3e (or gemenu if using version
14.00) and press [ENTER]. The main menu titled

STATISTICAL DATA
VIEW COUNTERS
The Statistical Data Collector uses the memory capability of the computer to record and store hundreds of
system parameters unique to each individual truck.
These parameters are divided into two types; Counters
and Profiles.
The STATISTICAL COUNTERS SCREEN displays the

number of times various operations have occurred in
the history of the truck operation or in how many seconds or miles the event has lasted. Refer to Table III,
for a listing of all active counters.
Detailed information concerning the Statistical Data

Collector is discussed on the following pages. Tables
III and IV list parameter code numbers, descriptions,
units of measure, count conditions, etc. The information below outlines the procedures required to view
Statistical Data on the PTU and save the information to
a file.
1. While the STATISTICAL DATA MENU is displayed, use the arrow keys to move the cursor to
the VIEW COUNTERS selection and press
[ENTER]. The STATISTICAL COUNTERS
SCREEN will be displayed.
2. Use the up and down arrow keys to scroll through
the counters. Press [ESC] to return to the exit
choice.
3. When finished viewing the information, press
[ENTER] again to exit this screen.

Step 1. below:
SPECIAL OPERATION selection on the GE
STATEX III PTU MAIN MENU and press
be displayed to alert the operator about the state
of the truck software.This warning notifies the
operator when control of the truck is being transferred from the truck driver to the PTU, based on
the PTU selection of SPECIAL OPERATION.
When finished and the PTU is returned to the GE
STATEX III PTU MAIN MENU, control of the propulsion system is returned to the truck driver.
Before activating this command, the screen
shown in Figure 2-22 will be displayed.The PTU
user should always keep the truck driver informed
of this control.

STATISTICAL DATA CODES - COUNTERS

The Statistical Data Collector uses Parameter
Counters and Parameter Profiles to record operating
conditions for various occurrences on the truck.
To make data most useful, there are four counters for
every statistical counter and five for every statistical
profile. These counts are named by the method used to
reset the count to zero. For the counter, there is a lifetime count, LCount, which is associated with its date,
LCount Start. Then there are three other counters,
Last Qtr, This Qtr, and This Day.
A parameter is a defined occurrence. Each parameter
has an identification number called Par #, and a short
name called Description. Each parameter is an occurrence that is counted in some unit such as hours or the
number of times the conditions have been correct to
declare that the occurrence happened.
The units for which the counters count is listed under
Units in Table III. The tables contain additional explanation of the conditions which define a statistical
parameter as having occurred. This column is entitled
Count Conditions.
There are two types of parameters; Counter (Table III,
and Profile (Table IV). The profile parameters have one
more characteristic, Range Counted, which sorts the
actual value of the parameter and then counts time of
the parameter-at-the-value.
When examining the number of counts for a parameter,
it is often useful to know over what period of time the
counts occurred. To aid in determining how long it took
to get a certain number of counts for a Statistical Data
Counter parameter, the Statistical Data is presented in
the form of four counters. The first counter, LCount,
indicates how many counts have occurred since the
LCount Start date. This is intended to be lifetime
counter. It can be reset to zero by a privileged user,
and the LCount Start will automatically be set to the
date on the CPU board when the user performed the
reset.
The second counter, Last Qtr is just the total number
of counts for the parameter over the last-fiscal-quarter,
also known as the last-three-months. This counter has
the same value in it all quarter long. At midnight on a
quarter change, this counter is overwritten by the This
Qtr value as this-quarter becomes last-quarter.
The fourth counter, This Day, keeps a moment by

moment count of occurrences of the parameter just as
This Qtr, except the This Day count is reset to zero
every midnight whether it is a quarter change or not.
If the GE control panel is shut off before midnight, any
necessary resetting of counters is done when the panel
next powers up after midnight.
Whenever the truck is programmed, that is, the CPU
Card has the contents of the flash proms changed, the
LCount, Last Qtr, and This Qtr counts are not
changed. However, the This Day count will be reset
to zero.
In order to use the Statistical Data Collector to monitor
maintenance of the vehicle, it is recommended that an
office spread sheet or data base computer program be
used to keep quarterly records of the statistical data.
To aid in getting the data off the CPU card and into the
office computer, a feature called UPLOAD STATISTICAL DATA TO A FILE has been provided in the PTU.
This feature puts all the collected statistical data in an
ASCII file which can then be processed in the office to
keep records on truck use. The [F2] feature of the PTU
can be used to capture statistical data playback on the
PTU in the office.
NOTE:The Statistical Data Collector is a part of the
program run by the CPU card. If the CPU card does not
have power, or if the code is stopped (as when looking
at event and statistical data via the (PTU), then the
Statistical Data Collector is also stopped. Hence, the
Statistical Data Collector cannot count occurrences of,
for example, toggling the AS pedal, while the code is
stopped.
Also note that the Statistical Data Collector is initialized
at power-up. The counter conditions are initialized to
their respective inactive states, usually false. If, again
for example, the AS pedal is depressed while power is
cycled, then the Statistical Data Collector will be initialized to AS not depressed at power-up. Momentarily
after power-up however, the Statistical Data Collector
will detect that AS is depressed and increment the
count. Thus, cycling power has resulted in the Statistical Data Collector counting an occurrence of AS
depressed even though AS has been depressed for
some time and has not really been released and
depressed again.
The third counter, This Qtr, keeps a moment by

moment count of occurrences of the parameter. The
counts are not reset to zero until midnight of the next
quarter.

FIGURE 2-28. ELECTRONIC ACCLERATOR PEDAL
ELECTRONIC ACCELERATOR AND

RETARD PEDALS
The accelerator and retard pedals provide a variable
voltage signal directly to the FB140 card in the FL275
panel. During some phases of truck operation, the
FL275 panel assumes control of engine RPM to reduce
engine RPM, maintaining a power level that satisfies
the operator and system requirements. The reduction
in engine RPM results in less fuel usage and longer
component life.
As the operator depresses the pedal, the internal
potentiometer's wiper is rotated by a lever. The output
voltage signal varies in proportion to the angle of
depression of the pedal. Refer to Electrical Checkout
Procedure for recalibration of the applicable pedal
potentiometer.
NOTE: Some trucks are equipped with individual
pedals for service brake and retarder application
(Figure 2-29). Others utilize a single pedal combining
service brake/retarder application as shown in Figure
2-30. Refer to Section J, Brake Circuit Component
Service for retarder pedal removal and installation
procedure for a single pedal system. Pedal
potentiometer replacement instructions on the
following page are applicable to either type.
The retard pedal is suspended from the front wall of the
cab and the accelerator is floor mounted. Potentiometer replacement procedures are the same for both pedals. (Refer to Figures 2-28 and 2-29.)

COOLING BLOWER WARNING SYSTEM

The Komatsu truck is equipped with a cooling blower to
supply cooling air to the alternator, exciters and wheel
motors.
The cooling blower warning system which consists of a
pressure switch, warning light, buzzer, and an adjustable time delay controlled by the CPU in the FL275
panel. The time delay can be adjusted by entering the
desired value using the software used to program the
CPU. The default delay time is 101 seconds.
The purpose of the warning system is to alert the operator in case of blower loss or low blower output. Blower
loss or low blower output could result in component
malfunction due to the lack of cooling air.
Operation
The warning light and buzzer will only come on if the
throttle is depressed while selector is in FORWARD or
REVERSE for a period exceeding 101 seconds and
blower output is less than normal. The 101 second time
cycle is controlled by the FL275 panel CPU.
Test
Check the operation of the blower loss warning system
as follows:
1. With the engine not running, turn the key switch
and control power On and place the selector
switch in FORWARD.
2. Depress the throttle pedal until the propulsion
contactors pull in.
3. After 101 seconds, (or the value entered on the
TRUCK SPECIFICS SCREEN) the Motor Blower
warning light on the instrument panel should turn
on.
If the switch requires adjustment, refer to instructions in
Miscellaneous Component Test and Adjustment in
the STATEX III ELECTRICAL SYSTEM CHECKOUT

1.0 SEQUENCE TESTS - (Engine not running)

Preparation & Setup
It is assumed the truck has been programmed using the correct Truck Configuration File and GE
Statex III Enhanced version 1.00 (if truck is equipped with a 17FB144 CPU card) or version 14.00 (if
truck is equipped with a 17FB101 CPU card) or later software prior to proceeding with the following
tests. If not, refer to Electrical Propulsion Components for instructions for preparing the Truck Configuration File, programming the truck, and usage of the GE software menu system.
Always disconnect 74C at GFR for static testings (engine not running). Failure to do so may
result in damage to battery boost SCR and/or dead batteries.
If the truck body has not been installed or the body is raised, place a steel washer on Body Up
Switch or jumper circuit 71F to circuit 71, to simulate body down condition.
If hydraulic pressure is low, connect a jumper wire between circuit 73S and 710. (This step will
be necessary if all hydraulic brakes are installed and engine is not running).

8.8 Ground Fault Checks

If a ground fault occurs during operation, the Electrical System Fault light will turn On and the amount
of leakage to ground will be displayed on the MONITOR ANALOG INPUT CHANNELS screen of the
PTU. To isolate a ground fault problem, the following procedures should be followed:
1. Visually inspect the truck for obvious causes of the fault:
a. Remove the rear wheel covers and inspect wheel motor armature commutators for evidence
of flashover. Inspect brushes for length and damage. Inspect field coils for evidence of moisture, oil or other contaminants which may accumulate in the armature cavity. If flashover is
severe or field coils are damaged by contaminants, the wheel motor should be removed for
repair. If moisture is present, it may be possible to dry the wheel motor without removal.
b. Remove inspection covers on main alternator to inspect slip rings, brushes and check for
moisture or other contamination.
c. Inspect cables for damaged insulation.
d. Inspect exposed connections for possible short circuit to nearby metallic objects.
e. Inspect retarding grids for damage and dirt accumulation.
2. If no physical evidence of the ground fault can be found during the above inspection, refer to the
appropriate GE Vehicle Test Instructions for OHV Statex III Systems publication for procedures required to perform a megger test on the power circuit, alternator field and control. This
publication provides specific procedures to be followed to prevent damage to system components and additional information to help isolate the ground fault.

TIRES AND RIMS

The truck tires should be inspected and tire pressure
checked with an accurate pressure gauge before
each working shift. Tire pressure will vary according
to manufacturer and local working conditions. Consult tire manufacturer for recommended tire pressure.
Insure valve caps are securely applied to valve
stems. The caps protect valves from dirt build up and
damage. DO NOT bleed air from tires which are hot
due to operation; under such circumstances, it is normal for pressure to increase in tire due to expansion.
A bent or damaged rim which does not support the
bead properly may cause abnormal strain on the tire
resulting in a malfunction. If a tire should become
deeply cut, it should be removed and repaired.
Neglected cuts cause many tire problems. Water,
sand, dirt and other foreign materials work into a tire
through a cut eventually causing tread or ply separation.
Tires should be stored indoors, if possible. If stored
outdoors, cover tires with tarpaulin to keep out dirt,
water and other foreign materials. Long exposure to
the sun will cause ozone cracks. Storage should be
in a cool, dry, dark, draft free location. Tires should
be stored vertically. If they must be laid on their sides
for a short period, avoid distortion by stacking no
more than three tires on top of one another. Avoid
contact with oil, grease or other petroleum products.
When inflating tires always use a safety cage.

Never inflate a tire until the lockring is securely in
place. Do not stand in front of or over the lockring during inflation procedures. Never overinflate a tire. Refer to tire manufacturers
recommendations.
Always keep personnel away from a wheel and
tire assembly when it is being removed or
installed.
The tire and rim weigh approximately 11,000 lbs.
(4995 kg). Be certain tire handling equipment is
capable of lifting and maneuvering the load.
Manual tire removal and installation is possible but,
due to the size and weight of the components, special handling equipment is desirable. Consult local
tire vendors for sources of equipment designed
especially to remove, repair, and install large offhighway truck tires.
If the studs in the front wheel hub require replacement, use a special stud installer tool and tighten
studs to 540 ft.lbs. (732 N.m) torque.
1. Apply parking brake and block rear wheels to
prevent movement of truck.
2. Shut down engine, turn keyswitch OFF, and
allow at least 90 seconds for the accumulator to
bleed down. Turn the steering wheel to be sure
no pressure remains. As a safety precaution,
bleed down brake accumulators.
Before storing used tires, clean thoroughly and

inspect for damage. Repair as necessary. When a
truck is placed in storage, it should be blocked to
remove the weight from the deflated tires. If stored
truck cannot be blocked, check air pressure and
inspect tires twice a month for proper inflation pressure.
3. Place jack under spindle or under frame at the

front cross tube.
FRONT TIRES AND RIMS
4. Raise front end of truck until tires clear ground

and block up securely under frame.
5. Visually inspect all brake components for damage or wear. Inspect hydraulic brake lines for
damage or leaking fittings.
Removal
DO NOT weld or apply heat on the rim assembly

with the tire mounted on the rim. Remaining
gases inside the tire may ignite causing explosion of tire and rim.
DO NOT go near a tire if a brake or wheel motor
has experienced a fire until the tire has cooled.
6. Secure wheel assembly to hoist or fork lift and

take up slack. Remove wheel nuts (8, Figure 21), and wheel retainer lugs (7) securing wheel
assembly to wheel hub. Remove the clamp that
secures the tire inflation valve to the wheel hub.
Care should be taken not to damage the inflation

stem during tire removal.

LUBRICANTS
TIRE INSTALLATION
The proper amount and type of lubricant is key to

successful mounting of radial off-road tires.
The preferred method for mounting tires is horizontally and off of the truck, especially for initial tire
mounting on a new truck. For horizontal tire mounting, a workmans stand is recommended for working
inside the tire. Similar methods and precautions
should be used when mounting tires vertically, on the
truck.
For lubrication, use only water-based or vegetable-based lubricant. Lubricants should be of a

type that vaporize over time and not leave any
residue on the rim or tire surfaces.
1. Paste lubricants should be diluted with water as
per specific lubricant manufacturers recommendations.
2. Only lubricate all parts on the rim that are in contact with the bead sole area of the tire.
FIGURE 2-8.
NOTE: Be careful not to apply lubricant in the O-ring
gutter.
3. When lubricating the tire bead, lubricant should
be sparingly applied to the tire bead surface
ONLY. The lubricant should be painted or
sprayed on uniformly without any lumps in the
paste or soap. The total amount of lubricant
applied per tire should not exceed 50 grams
(1.75 oz.).

NOTE: With each tire mounting, it is required that a

new O-ring and a new air valve be installed.
1. Before mounting tire to rim, remove all dirt and
rust from rim parts, particularly the O-ring
groove and bead seats. It is advisable to touch
up all metal parts with a good anti-rust paint to
prevent bare metal from being exposed to the
weather.
NOTE: Do not allow paint, rust or other
contamination to cover mating faces of lockring (6)
and rim (3).
Check to be sure that proper rim parts are used

for reassembly. Use of incompatible parts may
not properly secure the assembly resulting in
violently flying parts upon inflation.

rim and install spud assembly to inside of rim.
Tighten spud assembly to 35 in. lbs. (4 N.m)
torque.
3. Adjust vinyl clamp and capscrew on valve stem
and rim assembly. Tighten capscrew to standard torque.
8. Install lockring (6) and tap into place with lead

hammer. Lockring lug must fit into slot of
rim.
9. Remove valve core from valve stem and inflate
tire to seat beads of tire and O-ring as specified
by tire manufacturer.
4. Install inner flange on rim. Coat beads of tire

with tire mounting soap solution.
Prying against tire bead may cause damage to

tire bead and will cause air leaks.
5. Position tire over rim and work tire on as far as
possible without prying against the beads. Any
damage to tire bead will destroy air seal and
cause air leaks at these points.
6. Install outer flange (5, Figure 2-8) in position and
replace bead seat band (2). Push in on bead
seat band to expose O-ring groove in rim.
7. Lubricate new O-ring (4) with soap solution and
install in groove of rim.
G02004 04/03
Use a safety cage whenever possible. Stand to

one side as tire is being inflated. Never start
inflating unless lockring is securely in place. DO
NOT stand in front of or over lockring when
inflating.
10. If beads of tire and O-ring do not seat within one
minute, raise tire slightly and tap bead seat
band. This will help the air pressure to push the
tire bead out into position.
11. As soon as seating has been accomplished,
install valve core and inflate tire to recommended tire pressure.
12. Follow tire manufacturers recommendations
concerning tire bead seating procedures and
final tire pressure setting for each application.

10. Run the proper size tap into the threaded holes
to ensure good, quality threads.
11. Install spindle pusher tool and remove spindle as
described below.
Spindle Pusher Tool Usage
Heavy structures and high forces are involved in

this procedure. Use caution at all times when
applying force to these parts. Sudden release of
the spindle could cause components to move
forcefully and unexpectedly.
Refer to Section "M", Options & Special Tools for
dimensions for fabricating the spindle pusher tool
and the capscrews and washers required. Multiple
flatwashers may be required under the capscrews to
be effective.
Note: Hardened flat washers must be used under the
pusher capscrews to prevent galling. Lubricate
capscrew threads and washers with a lubricant such
as chassis lube.
1. Install pusher tool as shown in Figure 3-3. using
the capscrews (1) and washers (2) specified

STEERING CYLINDERS AND TIE ROD

The steering cylinders and tie rod are mounted in the
same manner. The removal and installation instructions are applicable to both.
Spherical Bearing Wear Limits
It is necessary to determine the condition of spherical
bearings on steering linkage components for optimum steering performance. Ball diameter new
dimensions and maximum allowable wear specifications are listed in Table 1. Bearings that exceed the
maximum wear limits must be replaced.
If premature wear of the bearings is evident, check
the automatic lubrication system to ensure the proper
amount of lubrication is being received at the joint(s)
in question. If lubrication is done manually, ensure
that a sufficient amount of grease is being applied on
a regular basis. Refer to Section P, Lubrication and
Service, for information on proper lubrication intervals.
It is also important to ensure that steering linkage
components are tightened to the proper torque. Use
the proper torque specifications listed in this section
for steering linkage components.

FRONT SUSPENSION
The HYDRAIRII suspensions are hydro-pneumatic
components containing oil and nitrogen gas. The oil
and gas in the four suspensions carry the gross truck
weight less wheels, spindles and final drive assembly.
The front suspension cylinders consist of two basic
components; a suspension housing attached to the
truck frame and a suspension rod attached to the front
spindle. Check valves and orifice dampening holes
control suspension travel to provide good ride qualities
on haul roads under loaded and empty conditions. The
front suspension rods also act as kingpins for steering
the truck.
The HYDRAIRII suspension cylinder requires only
normal care when handling as a unit. However, after
being disassembled these parts must be handled carefully to prevent damage to the machined surfaces. Surfaces are machined to extremely close tolerances and
are precisely fitted. All parts must be completely clean
during assembly.
Removal
1. Park unloaded truck on hard level surface. Block
wheels and apply parking brake. Remove front
wheel and tire according to Removal instructions in Section G, Front Tire and Rim. Remove
front wheel hub and spindle as covered in Section

MAXIMUM CAPSCREW USAGE
High tightening force is required to load front suspension mounting capscrews. Repeated tightening
operations will cause capscrew material to fatigue
and break. DO NOT reuse mounting hardware (capscrews, hardened washers, and nuts) more than
twice after original installation (3 total - see NOTE
below). Replace capscrews, washers and nuts after
third use.
NOTE: The following method is suggested to control
the 3 - Use maximum:
Punch mark the capscrew heads with a center punch
after each tightening as follows:
Initial Installation ................ No (0) marks.
FIGURE 2-4. HARDENED WASHER INSTALLATION

1. Hardened Washer
2. Grade 8 capscrew
NOTE: Special hardened flat washers are

punched during the manufacturing process,
therefore when used under the capscrew head
they must be assembled with the inside diameter radius of the hole toward the head (punch
lip away from head) to prevent damage to the
fillet between capscrew head and shank. See
illustration above.
Second Installation ............ One (1) punch mark.

Third Installation ................ Two (2) punch marks.
Suspension mounting capscrews are specially hardened bolts that meet or exceed Grade 8 specifications.
Replace only with bolts of correct hardness. Refer to
Komatsu Parts Catalog for correct part number. Before
installation, inspect each capscrew for any defects and
number of punch marks. Replace capscrew and
related hardware if two punch marks are evident; do
not reuse if any defect is suspected. Hardware showing
signs of rust, corrosion, galling or local yielding on any
seat or thread surfaces should be replaced. Replace all
suspension mounting hardware, if the truck was operated with the suspension mounting in a loose joint condition.
6. The capscrews are now ready for tightening

using the Turn-of-the-Nut Tightening Procedure
described on the following page.
NOTE: The Turn-of-the-Nut tightening procedure

was developed for high strength 1 1/2" UNC capscrews (grade 8 or better) in this joint application
only. Do not use this tightening method for other
joint types or capscrews of lesser grade/size.

TURN-OF-THE-NUT Tightening
Procedure
a. Tighten all fourteen capscrews (1, 6, 8, Figure
2-3) to 400 40 ft .lbs. (542 5 N.m) torque.
Use a torque wrench of known calibration.
b. Maintain this torque on the top two corner capscrews and the bottom outer four capscrews
(item 8, the 4 bottom capscrews with nuts).
c. Loosen the 8 remaining capscrews and then
tighten again using turn-of-the-nut tightening
procedure as follows:
d. For the four, 6.0 in. (15 cm) long capscrews (1,
Figure 2-3) at the upper mount, tighten capscrews initially to 70 ft. lbs. (95 N.m) torque;
then advance capscrew head 60 using steps
d-1.) through d-3.). Refer to Figure 2-5.
1.) Mark a reference line on a corner of the hexagonal capscrew head or nut and the mounting surface opposite this corner as shown.
Then mark the position located 60 or 90
clockwise relative to the first reference line
on the mounting surface. Refer to Figures 25 and 2-6.
2.) To insure that the opposite end of the turning
member, either the capscrew head or nut
remains stationary, scribe a reference mark
for this check.
3.) Each corner of a hexagon represents 60.
The turning members, either the capscrew
head or nut, is turned until the marked corner is adjacent with the marked reference
line. Check to make sure that the opposite
end of the turning member has NOT turned
during the tightening procedure. NOTE: Do
not exceed 4 RPM tightening speed. Do
not hammer or jerk wrench during the
tightening procedure.
e. Loosen the top two corner capscrews (1) and
the bottom outer four capscrews (8, the 4
bottom capscrews with nuts).
1.) Tighten the top, two corner 6.0 in. (15 cm)
capscrews to 70 ft. lbs. (95 N.m) torque,
then use turn-of-the-nut method to
advance capscrew heads 60.

REAR SUSPENSIONS
The HYDRAIR II suspensions are hydro-pneumatic
components containing oil and nitrogen gas. The oil
an gas in the four suspensions carry the gross truck
weight less wheels, spindles and final drive assembly. The rear suspension cylinders consist of two
basic components; a suspension housing attached to
the rear axle housing, and a suspension rod attached
to the frame.
Removal
The HYDRAIR II suspension cylinder requires only

normal care when handling as a unit. However, after
being disassembled these parts must be handled
carefully to prevent damage to the machined surfaces. Surfaces are machined to extremely close tolerances and are precisely fitted. All parts must be
completely clean during assembly.

BRAKE CIRCUIT
The 830E truck is equipped with hydraulic actuated
disc brakes. The front brakes have three calipers
applying braking effort to a single disc on each wheel.
The rear brakes have two (armature-speed) discs with
one caliper per disc. Each rear outboard disc also
contains a parking brake caliper.
The fundamental function of the brake system is to
provide an operator the control he needs to stop the
truck in either a slow modulating fashion or in as short
a distance as reasonably possible.
Outlined below are the functions that are necessary for
safe truck operation:
1. Warn the operator as soon as practical of a
serious or potentially serious loss of brake pressure so proper action can be taken to stop the
truck before the secondary system is exhausted
of power.
2. Provide secondary brake circuits such that any
single failure leaves the truck with sufficient stopping power.
3. Automatically apply service brakes if low pressure
warnings are ignored and pressures continue to
decrease.
4. Wheel brake lock to relieve the operator from
holding the brake pedal while at the dump or
shovel.
5. Spring applied park brake for holding, not stopping, the truck during periods other than loading
or dumping.
6. Brake system that is easy to diagnose and perform necessary service.
The following brake circuit description should be used
in conjunction with the hydraulic brake system schematic, refer to Section "R".
The brake system consists of two major valve components; the dual circuit treadle valve (heart of the system) and brake manifold. The dual circuit treadle valve
is the only component located in the operators cab.
J02032
The remainder of the system, including the brake

manifold, circuit accumulators, and electrical components, are located in a weatherproof cabinet behind
the cab. This cabinet is accessible for diagnostic and
service work.
The brake manifold contains dual circuit isolation
check valves, accumulator bleed down valves, and
valves for brake lock, park brake and automatic apply
functions. All of these components are screw-in cartridge type valves.
In the 830E truck, there are two independent means
of brake actuation, the service brake pedal and brake
lock switch.
SERVICE BRAKE CIRCUIT OPERATION

This portion of the system provides the operator the
precise control he needs to modulate (feather) brake
pressure to slowly stop the truck or develop full brake
effort to stop as quickly as possible. The heart of this
circuit is the treadle operated dual circuit brake valve.
This valve enables the operator to control the relatively
high pressure energy within the brake accumulators
directly to the brakes. The only element between the
operators foot and the actual brake fluid is the dual
circuit treadle valve.
As the pedal is depressed, each valve within the dual
circuit treadle valve simultaneously delivers fluid from
its respective accumulator to the wheel brakes at a
pressure proportional to both pedal position and force.
The further the pedal is depressed, the higher the
brake force, giving a very positive feel of control.
Brake accumulators have two functions; storing energy for reserve braking in the event of a failure and,
provide rapid oil flow for good brake response. Depression of the brake pedal actuates the stop light pressure
switch, which in turn actuates stop and service brake
indicator lights and propulsion interlock. The stop light
switch (12, Figure 2-1) is located on the junction block
(10) inside the brake cabinet.

SECONDARY BRAKING AND

AUTOMATIC APPLY
Normal Operation (key switch on, engine running)
A fundamental function of the brake system is to

provide reserve braking in the event of any single
failure. For this reason, the system is divided into
multiple circuits, each with its own isolation check
valve, accumulator, and circuit regulator. The secondary system becomes whatever circuit(s) is operable
after a failure. If the failure is a jammed treadle valve,
then the brake lock becomes the secondary system,
otherwise, either of the two brake circuits would be the
secondary system.
The brake accumulators (1 & 3, Figure 2-1), (as described under service brake circuit) perform two functions; rapid flow for good response and store energy
for secondary braking. The circuit check valve assures
this energy is retained should a failure occur in brake
system supply or an accumulator circuit.
If a failure occurs in the pump, steering or either brake
accumulator circuit, a low brake pressure warning light
(on the instrument panel) and an audible alarm (in the
cab) will actuate and the vehicle should be stopped as
soon as practical. When the pressure in one accumulator circuit is less than the preset level, all the service
brakes will be automatically applied. Automatic brake
application is accomplished by the "Automatic Apply
Valve" (PS1, 19), located in the brake manifold. This
valve senses the lower brake accumulator pressure,
and when the pressure is less than 2000 75 psi
(13800 520 kPa), the valve shifts, operating the brake
treadle valve and applying all the brakes full on.
Regardless of the nature of location of a failure, sensing the lowest brake accumulator circuit pressure assures two to four full brake applications after the low
brake warning light and buzzer, and before automatic
apply. This allows the operator the opportunity to
safely stop the truck after the warning has turned on.
PARKING BRAKE CIRCUIT

The parking brake is spring applied and hydraulically
released.
NOTE: Whenever the park brake solenoid is de-energized, a spring in the solenoid valve will shift the spool
to the position to allow the park brake to be applied.
J02032
Parking brake switch "ON"

The parking brake solenoid (16) is de-energized.
The oil pressure in the parking brake lines return
to tank and the springs in the parking brake will
apply the brake. The parking brake pressure
switch (23) will close, completing a path to
ground, and illuminating the parking brake light
on the instrument panel.
Parking brake switch "OFF"
The parking brake solenoid is energized. The
pressure oil is routed from the park brake solenoid, to the parking brake pressue regulator (4)
(reducer), then to the park brake calipers for
release. The parking brake circuit is protected
against accidental apply by monitoring a wheel
motor speed sensor. The park brake with not
apply until the truck is virtually stopped. This
eliminates park brake damage and will extend
brake adjustment intervals.
If the key switch is turned "OFF" (park brake
switch "ON" or "OFF"), the park brake will not
apply until vehicle speed is less than 1/3 MPH,
due to the monitoring of the wheel motor speed.
If loss of hydraulic supply pressure occurs, with
Parking brake switch "OFF", the parking brake
solenoid will still be energized. The hydraulic
supply circuit is still open to the parking brake
calipers. A check valve in the park brake hydraulic
supply circuit traps the oil, holding the parking
brake in the release position.
NOTE: Normal internal leakage in the parking brake
solenoid and the pressure reducing valve may allow
leakage of the trapped oil to return back to tank, and
eventually allow park brake application.
If 24 volt power to the solenoid is interupted, the
park brake will apply at any vehicle speed. The
spring in the solenoid will cause it to shift, opening
a path for the oil pressure in the park brake line
to return to tank and the springs in the parking
brake will apply the brake. The parking brake
pressure switch (23) will close, completing a path
to ground, and illuminating the parking brake light
on the instrument panel.

J2-3
BRAKE LOCK CIRCUIT

The primary function of the brake lock is to provide a
means for the operator to hold the vehicle while at the
shovel or dump. The brake lock only applies the rear
service brakes. It may also provide a second means
to stop the truck in the event the primary means
(treadle valve) malfunctions.
By turning on the dash mounted toggle switch, a

solenoid valve (15, Figure 2-1) and pressure reducing
valve (PR2, 14) will apply unmodulated pressure oil at
1500 75 psi (10343 517 kPa) to fully actuate the rear
brakes. A shuttle valve (13) in the rear brake line
provides the independence from the brake treadle
valve for brake application.
WARNING CIRCUIT
The brake warning circuit is equipped with a low brake
pressure warning light (on the overhead panel) and an
audible alarm (in the cab) to alert the operator of low
brake pressures. Several electrical sensors, a relay
and delay timer are used to detect brake system
problems.
Pressure Sensor, system supply pressure
Located below the bleed down manifold on a tee
fitting is the low steering pressure switch. When
system supply pressure drops below 2300 psi
(15860 kPa), the low steering pressure light, low
brake pressure light and buzzer will turn on.
Pressure Sensor, low accumulator pressure
(22)
Located on the brake manifold. When the accumulator with the lower pressure falls below 2350
psi (16200 kPa), the low brake pressure light and
buzzer will turn on.
Differential Pressure Switch
Located in the cab on the brake dual controller
(foot treadle) (12, Figure 3-2) is the Pressure
Differential Manifold. During brake application, if
the difference in brake apply pressure between
the front and rear circuits are greater than a preset
level, the low brake pressure light and buzzer will
turn on. The pressure differential switch completes a path to ground in order to turn on the low
brake pressure light and buzzer. Use of the differential pressure switch allows detection of faults
between the front and rear circuits, such as brake
line ruptures, poor brake valve tracking, line
blockage, and excessive air or brake displacement.
J2-4
Brake Lock Degradation Switch (9, Figure 2-1)

Located on the junction block (10) in the brake
cabinet. When the brake lock switch is turned on,
a pressure imbalance inside the differential pressure manifold occurs (normal at this time) as only
the rear brakes are applied. The brake warning
light relay is energized and switches the electrical
connection from the differential pressure switch
to the low brake lock pressure switch. If the brake
lock apply pressure is less than 1000 psi (6900
kPa), a path to ground will be completed and the
low brake pressure light and buzzer will turn on.
Brake Warning Relay (25)
Located in the brake cabinet. When the brake lock
switch is turned on, the brake warning light relay
is energized and switches the electrical connection from the differential pressure switch to the low
brake lock pressure switch. When the brake lock
switch is turned off, the relay is de-energized and
switches the connection from the low brake lock
apply pressure switch to the differential pressure
switch.
Brake Delay Timer (24)
Located in the brake control cabinet. The delay
timer is connected in series between the low
brake pressure light/buzzer and the two switches,
the differential pressure switch and the low brake
lock apply pressure switch. If either switch completes a path to ground, the delay timer will not
complete the circuit for 1.2 seconds. This will
allow sufficient time for the hydraulic brake to
reach the proper pressures after actuation to
avoid false alarms.

BRAKE CIRCUIT COMPONENT SERVICE

BRAKE VALVE
The Brake Valve is a pressure modulating valve, actuated mechanically (brake pedal) or hydraulically
through the automatic apply valve (11, Figure 3-1).
The Brake Valve independently controls the pressure
delivered to the front and rear service brake assemblies. Apply pressure can be modulated from zero to
maximum braking effort by use of the foot pedal.
Rebuild Criteria
If any one of the following conditions exist, the brake
valve should be removed and repaired:
Excessive cam rock in pedal actuator.
Any sign of external leakage.
Internal leakage at the tank port must be less
than 100 cc/minute with the valve in the released
position and system pressure supplied to the
P1 and P2 inlet ports.
Tank port leakage must be less than 250 cc/minute with valve pilot or manual applied at 3,000 psi
(20 685 kPa) system pressure.
Failure of the pedal to return to full release position.
Valve holds pressure when in the neutral position.
Varying output pressure with the pedal fully depressed.
Removal
If the Brake Valve is to be removed from the vehicle
for repair or adjustment, additional equipment will be
required as outlined in disassembly, assembly.
NOTE: Minor repairs and service adjustment may not
require the removal of the brake valve.
Before disconnecting pressure lines, replacing

components in the hydraulic circuits, or installing
test gauges, always bleed down hydraulic steering
and brake accumulators. The steering accumulators can be bled down with engine shut down,
turning the key switch Off and waiting 90 seconds. Confirm the steering pressure is released by
turning the steering wheel - No front wheel movement should occur. Open bleed down valves (10 &
12, Figure 3-1) located on the brake manifold and
allow both accumulators to bleed down.

3. Attach the main supply input pressure to the
O-ring ports on the rear of the valve labeled P1"
and P2".
4. Attach the tank return line to the O-ring port
labeled T on the rear of the valve.
5. Attach the O-ring regulated output ports B1 and
B2 to the test lines. Pressure monitoring devices in these two lines must be capable of 3,500
psi (24 132 kPa). Connect all ports. The connections should be according to the diagram shown
in Figure 3-10. All ports must be used and connected.
All ports must be used. Relieve pressure before

disconnecting hydraulic and other lines. Tighten
all connections before applying pressure.
Avoid spillage and contamination! Avoid contact
with hot oil if the machine has been operating. The
oil will be at very high pressure.
Hydraulic fluid escaping under pressure can have
sufficient force to enter a persons body by penetrating the skin and cause serious injury and possibly death if proper medical treatment by a
physician familiar with this injury is not received
immediately.
3. Gradually apply pressure on each circuit (one at

a time) to check for leaks around the plunger.
Make sure the adjustment collar is screwed all the
way down on the threads.
4. B1 Adjustment: Adjust the adjustment collar
up (counter-clockwise) starting with one turn increments until the output pressure at port B1 is
2000 -0/+75 psi (13 790 -0/+517 kPa) with the
adjustment collar contacting the actuator base
(fully actuated). Fine adjustment will require
turning the collar only in 1/8 turn increments.
5. B2 Adjustment: Adjust the adjustment collar
up (counter-clockwise) starting with one turn increments until the output pressure at port B2 is
3000 -0/+150 psi (20 685 -0/+1 034 kPa) with the
adjustment collar contacting the actuator base
(fully actuated). Fine adjustment will require
turning the collar only in 1/8 turn increments.
6. Tighten the setscrews in the adjustment collars to
25 - 30 in.lbs. (2.8 - 3.4 N.m) torque. The entire
plunger may have to be rotated to get to the
capscrews.
7. Check pressures again after tightening the set
screws. If the pressures have moved out of specified range, loosen the appropriate set screw and
re-adjust.
8. Cycle each circuit 50 times using pilot apply. This
is done by closing needle valve (5) and opening
needle valve (4). Read pressure on gauges (7 &
10). Close valve (4) and open valve (5). The
pressure gauges (7 & 10) should read 0 psi.
9. Recheck pressures after cycling. If they have
changed, re-adjust pressures.
Differential Pressure Switch Test
6. Start hydraulic pump and regulate output pressure

to 3200 psi (22 064 kPa) at pressure gauge (3).
Pressure gauges (7 & 10) should read zero.
7. Set pilot supply pressure on test stand to 3200 psi
(22 064 kPa).
8. Return line pressure during this test is not to
exceed 5 psi (34 kPa).
9. Test the valve with ISO grade hydraulic oil at 120
10 F (49 3 C).
10. Attach ohmmeter lead to connector on differential

pressure switch wire. Attach other lead to valve
body.

HYDRAULIC BRAKE ACCUMULATORS

There are two hydraulic brake accumulators located
on the brake manifold in the brake control cabinet
behind the operators cab. The larger accumulator [2.5
gal. (9.51 l) capacity] supplies the pressure necessary
for actuation of the front service brakes. The small
accumulator [1 gal. (3.79 l) capactiy] supplies pressure
to activate the rear service brakes.
Accumulators maintain high pressure. DO NOT

disconnect any hydraulic line from the accumulators or brake system until all hydraulic pressure
has been manually drained from accumulators.
Open manual drain valves located on the brake
manifold in the brake cabinet to drain pressurized
oil. The manual bleeddown valve for the rear accumulator is identified as NVR. The manual bleeddown valve for the front accumulator is identified
as NVF.

BRAKE CIRCUIT CHECK-OUT PROCEDURE

The brake circuit hydraulic pressure is supplied from
the steering circuit at the bleed down manifold.
Some brake system problems, such as spongy
brakes, slow brake release, or abnormal operation
of the overhead panel mounted "Low Brake Pressure" warning light can sometimes be traced to
internal leakage of brake components. If internal
leakage is suspected, refer to Brake Circuit Component Leakage Test.
NOTE: If internal leakage within the steering circuit

is excessive, this also may contribute to problems
within the brake circuit. Be certain that steering
circuit
leakage
is not
excessive
before
troubleshooting brake circuit. For Steering Circuit
Test Procedure, refer to Section "L", Hydraulic
System.

The steering circuit can be isolated from the brake

circuit by removing the brake supply line from the
bottom side of the bleeddown manifold (refer to
WARNING below). Plug the brake supply line and
cap the port in the bleeddown manifold.
Before disconnecting pressure lines, replacing

components in the hydraulic circuits, or installing test gauges, ALWAYS bleed down hydraulic
steering and brake accumulators.
Hydraulic fluid escaping under pressure can
have sufficient force to enter a person's body by
penetrating the skin and cause serious injury,
and possibly death, if proper medical treatment
by a physician familiar with this type of injury is
not received immediately.
The steering accumulator can be bled down with

engine shut down, turning key switch "Off", and
waiting 90 seconds. Confirm the steering pressure
is released by turning the steering wheel - No front
wheel movement should occur. Fully open both
bleed down valves on brake manifold to bleed down
brake accumulators.
Before disabling brake circuit, be sure truck

wheels are blocked to prevent possible rollaway.

INITIAL SYSTEM SET-UP
PARKING BRAKE
Prior to checking the brake system, the hydraulic

steering system must have proper accumulator precharge and be up to normal operating temperatures.
Refer to Section "L" this manual for steering system
operation procedures and specifications. Also prior to
checking the brake system make sure the parking
brake is properly adjusted. Refer to parking brake
adjustment this section. With the steering system
functioning properly and the parking brake adjusted,
proceed as follows:
NOTE: Move one of the pressure measuring

instruments from the BF or BR locations to the PK2
test port above the Park Brake Solenoid.
1. Turn engine and key switch off.

2. Fully open each brake accumulator bleeddown
valve and precharge both accumulators to 1400
psi (9650 kPa). Allow gas temperature to
approach ambient temperature before completing precharge process.
8. Actuate brake lock. Release parking brake with

park brake switch. Verify that Park Brake Status
Light indicates parking brake is released. Park
Brake pressure should be 2500 100 psi
(17,238 690 kPa).
Record on data sheet.
9. Measure the lining to disc clearance with feeler
gauge and record the clearances.
10. Apply parking brake and release brake lock.
NOTE: Return the pressure gauge to the BF or BR
location from which it was removed.
BRAKE SYSTEM CHECK-OUT

NOTE: For best performance, charge accumulators
in the ambient conditions in which the machine will
be operating.
3. Close both accumulator bleeddown valves.
4. Install pressure gauges at:
a. Front Brake Test Port "BF" (brake cabinet) 5000 psi (34,475 kPa) gauge.
b. Rear Brake Test Port "BR" (brake cabinet) 5000 psi (34,475 kPa) gauge.
c. Low Accumulator Pressure Test Port "LAP1"
(brake manifold) - 5000 psi (34,475 kPa)
gauge.
5. Set park brake. Release brake lock.
6. Start engine. Observe rising brake pressures as
system charges. Brake pressure should begin
to fall when Auto Apply Valve releases. Brakes
should release at approximately 2000 psi
(13,790 kPa).
7. Partially depress brake pedal and bleed air from
bleeders located at each brake.
NOTE: Unless otherwise specified, perform the

following checks with engine running, park brake set
and brake lock released.
11. VERY SLOWLY depress brake pedal to check
circuit tracking. Rear brake pressure must begin
to rise before front brake pressure. Rear brake
pressure should be between 45 psi (310 kPa)
and 205 psi (1413 kPa) when front brake pressure begins to rise. Force feedback of pedal on
foot should be smooth with no abnormal noise
or mechanical roughness.
12. Slowly depress brake pedal and check to see
that brake indicator lamp and stop lights illuminate at 75 5 psi (517 34 kPa) rear brake
pressure.
13. Quickly and completely depress pedal and
check to see that front brake pressure reads
3000 150 psi (20685 1034 kPa) and that
rear brake pressure reads 1980 100 psi
(13650 689 kPa) within one second of brake
application and that both pressures remain
above their minimum values for a minimum of
20 seconds.
J4-4
J04031
14. Release pedal, assure that each circuit's pressure is zero.

15. To check pedal free play, refer to the procedure
"Additional Testing and Adjustment (With brake
pedal installed)" in this "Section J" of the service
manual.
NOTE: Free play is defined by the gap between the
setscrew (in the pedal structure) and the actuator
cap. There must be a gap to prevent brake drag.
16. Cycle brake lock several times to assure crisp
shift of solenoid valve and release of oil pressure.
17. Apply brake lock and read brake pressures.
Front pressure should be zero and rear pressure should be 1500 100 psi (10343 690
kPa).
Failure Modes Check-Out

18. Allow engine to run until low brake accumulator
pressure stabilizes at or above 3200 psi (22,064
kPa).
19. Shut engine down. Allow 90 seconds for the
steering accumulator to bleed completely down.
Disable steering pressure switch from the brake
warning circuit by unplugging the diode
between circuits 33 and 33F. (This is diode 22
on diode board 1) Turn key switch on. After two
minutes, record the low accumulator pressure
(LAP1 port). If LAP1 pressure is below 2600 psi
(17,927 kPa), then leakage in the system is
excessive and the source of the leakage needs
to be identified.
22. Start engine to recharge hydraulic system. Allow

engine to run until low brake accumulator pressure stabilizes at or above 3200 psi (22,064
kPa).
23. Shut engine down. Allow the steering accumulator to bleed completely down. Turn Key Switch
on. Crack the rear brake accumulator bleed
down valve and observe LAP1 pressure. Verify
that the Low Brake Pressure lamp and buzzer,
and Auto Apply set points are within a 100 psi
(690 kPa) of those recorded in step 20. Record
Auto Apply brake pressures. Close the rear
brake accumulator bleed down valve.
24. Enable the steering pressure switch by plugging
in the diode removed between circuits 33 and
33F.
25. Start the engine to recharge hydraulic system.
Allow engine to run until low brake accumulator
pressure stabilizes at or above 3200 psi (22,064
kPa).
26. Shut engine down. Do not allow steering accumulator to bleed down. Make repeated slow,
complete brake applications with pedal until
auto apply comes on. Record the number of
brake applications prior to auto apply.

ROCKWELL WHEEL SPEED FRONT DISC BRAKES

BRAKE CALIPER
Caliper Removal
Each front wheel speed brake assembly has three*

calipers on one disc. Each caliper has six pistons
and two linings (three apply pistons and one lining for
each side of disc). Lining should be changed when
friction material is worn to 0.125 in. (3.22 mm) thickness.
*NOTE: Some trucks may be equipped with FOUR
(4) Brake Calipers per wheel. Service and
adjustment for these calipers are the same as
presented here.
If inspection of front brake calipers and disc assembly indicate repair beyond lining replacement, it is
necessary to remove calipers and disc from front
wheel hub and spindle. Refer to Figure 5-4 for maximum wear limits of front disc.
Clean brake assemblies before performing any service. If brake has not accumulated excessive surface
dirt, preliminary cleaning can be done in the overhaul
area. However, preliminary cleaning should be done
before removal of pistons from housing.
1. Remove front tires and rims according to procedure in Section G.

2. If necessary, remove disc from front wheel hub.
Refer to Section G, Front Wheel Hub and
Spindle Removal.
NOTE: Mark or tag each brake caliper assembly for
reassembly at its correct location. Do not interchange
parts.
3. Open the brake bleed valves (2, Figure 5-3) at
each caliper and bleed down the caliper by disconnecting the two lower hoses at T connection (5 & 6, Figure 5-1). Drain the fluid into a
container. Do not reuse fluid.
4. Disconnect the top brake hose at T connection (3).
5. Disconnect and remove crossover tubes (2, 4,
& 7).
Cleaning may be done by brush or spray, using

a petroleum base cleaning solvent.
Clean diesel fuel is acceptable for this
operation.
Cleaning should be thorough enough for
preliminary inspection and disassembly.
Subassemblies should be blown dry with
compressed air after cleaning. Dust shields
should be wiped dry with a clean cloth.
The use of vapor degreasing or steam cleaning
is not recommended for the brake assemblies
or the component parts. Moisture will cause
parts to rust.
Be certain that all wheels are securely blocked to

prevent truck from moving.
switch is Off and drain valves on brake accumulators are opened and steering accumulators

1. Remove bleeders (2, Figure 5-3) and end caps

(7 and 8) from each end of each brake caliper
housing (1).
2. Remove linings from the caliper assembly.
NOTE: A shallow container may be necessary to
receive any remaining fluid that will drain from
cavities. Do not reuse fluid.
3. Carefully remove the piston dust shields (10)
from behind the groove lip in the housing and
from the grooved lips on the piston.
4. Mark each piston and corresponding brake caliper housing position and pull piston out of the

from the piston cavity using small flat nonmetallic tool having smooth round edges.
6. Refer to Caliper Cleaning and Inspection on
the following page for detailed instructions
regarding condition and usability of parts.
J05019
When assembling pistons (11, Figure 5-3) into the

housings (1), lubricate all cylinder walls, threads,
seals, piston seal surfaces, etc., with clean C-4
hydraulic oil.
1. Install new piston seals (12) and backup rings
(13) in housings.
2. With housing lying on mounting face, gently
push each piston past piston seal until seated in
bottom of cavities.
3. Install new or reusable dust shields (10).
NOTE: Do not allow lubricant to contact dust shields.
4. Install all fittings (4 & 5) and bleeder (2) in correct position in housings.
5. Apply Loctite 271 to threads of capscrew (6).
Install linings (9) and end caps (7 & 8) with bolts
(6) and tighten to 403 ft. lbs. (546 N.m) torque.
6. Refer to Rear Disc Brakes in this Section and
perform Bench Test before installing caliper.
7. After bench test is performed, refer to Installation for procedures for installing calipers on
brake adapter.
J5-3

1. Preliminary cleaning can be more effective if
linings are first removed. However, retaining
plates should be temporarily reinstalled in order
to stay with brake assembly through overhaul
cycle.
Use care when wiping dust shields. Too much

pressure on shield over sharp tip of housing cavity may cause dust shield to be cut.
2. Cleaning may be done by brush or spray, using
a petroleum base cleaning solvent. Clean diesel
fuel is acceptable for this operation. Cleaning
should be thorough enough for preliminary
inspection and disassembly. Subassemblies
should be blown dry with compressed air after
cleaning. Dust shields should be wiped dry with
a clean cloth.
NOTE: If brake has not accumulated excessive
surface dirt, preliminary cleaning can be done in the
overhaul area. However, it is recommended that
preliminary cleaning be done before removal of
pistons from housings.
3. Inspect dust shields (10, Figure 5-3) for any
physical damage or rupture, and any hardening,
cracking, or deterioration of material from
excessive heat. Failure of dust shield can admit
dirt to the piston cavity, causing damage to surface finish of piston and cylinder wall, and damage to seal. If dust shields are found to be soft
and pliable, with no sign of hardening or cracking, they should be wiped clean and set aside
for reuse.
4. Inspect piston cavities and surfaces of piston
for evidence of dirty fluid, particularly if dust
shields were ruptured.
5. Inspect piston cavities for evidence of varnish
formation, caused by excessive and prolonged
heating of brake oil.
Piston should be handled with care. The usual

cause of nicked piston surfaces is mishandling
during the cleaning procedure.
Steel tools should never be used in piston cavities and seal grooves. Copper, brass, aluminum,
wood, etc. are acceptable materials for such purposes.
J5-4
NOTE: All seals (12, Figure 5-3) should be replaced

at assembly.
6. Inspect piston (11) surfaces for scratches,
excessive wear, nicks, and general surface finish deterioration that can contribute to seal
damage and fluid leakage.
NOTE: In normal operation, a very slow rate of wear
should be experienced, and will be noticeable by the
slow disappearance of the hard chrome finish. Minor
nicks and scratches may be blended out by hand
with 180 grit aluminum oxide or carborundum cloth,
then successively finer grades used until a surface
comparable to the original surface is obtained.
Extensive local polishing should be avoided, since
the minimum piston diameter is 3.619 in. (91.923
mm). The piston finish is important in providing a
proper seal surface and seal wear life. Where
surface finish has deteriorated beyond restoration by
moderate power buffing with a fine wire brush, piston
should be replaced. Determination of ideal surface
finish quality can be made by comparison with a new
piston. Surface roughness of piston face through
contact with lining back plate is not detrimental to its
operation, and is a normal condition.
7. Inspect piston cavities for damage similar to
Step 6 above, with particular attention to the
edge of the seal grooves. These must feel
smooth and sharp with no nicks or sharp projection that can damage seals or scratch pistons.
Seal groove surfaces must be smooth and free
of pits or scratches. Finish of cylinder wall is not
as critical as surface finish of piston. Surface
deterioration near entrance of cavity should be
hand polished very carefully to avoid enlarging
cavity beyond a maximum of 3.629 in. (92.176
mm) inside diameter at the outer edge of the
seal groove. Power polishing or honing may be
used in cases of extreme surface finish deterioration of cavity walls.
NOTE: Care must be taken that a minimum amount
of material is removed, within the previous maximum
diameter limitation of 3.629 in. (92.176 mm). Power
polishing will not normally be required, and should
not be used as a standard overhaul procedure.
8. Inspect inlet and bleeder ports in housings for
damage to threads or seal counterbores.
Thread damage that cannot be repaired by use
of a 0.475-20 UNF-2B tap will require housing
to be replaced.
9. Inspect retainer plates (7 & 8) for bent or
cracked condition, replace if such damage is
found. Inspect retainer plate bolts (6), and
tapped holes in housing.
J05019
NOTE: These bolts are highly stressed and should

be replaced whenever their condition appears
questionable. A 3/4-16 UNF-28 tap lubricated with a
light oil may be used to inspect tapped holes in
housings for thread damage and to clean up any
minor thread roughness.
10. Brake housings and pistons should be thoroughly cleaned. After cleaning, passages, cavities, and external surfaces should be blown dry
with clean, dry, compressed air. Piston should
also be cleaned and blown dry.
NOTE: Cleaned and dried parts should not be left
exposed for any appreciable time without a
protective coating of lubricant; for short term storage,
coating all internal cavities, passages, and bosses
with hydraulic fluid will be adequate protection; for
longer term storage wipe cavities, connector bosses,
and threads with a protective grease, such as
petroleum jelly.
BRAKE LINING
Replacement
Each front wheel speed disc assembly has three
(some trucks may have four) calipers on one disc.
Each caliper has six pistons and two linings, three
apply pistons and one lining for each side of disc.
Lining should be changed when friction material is
worn to 0.125 in. (3.22 mm) thickness.
must be replaced. This will require disassembly

of the caliper.
6. Inspect end plates for wear. Replace if grooves
will not allow lining back plate to slide freely.
7. Inspect disc for wear limits, Figure 5-4. If disc is
worn below the limits shown, the disc must be
replaced. Refer to Wheel and Tire Installation,
Section G.
8. If original linings have sufficient lining material
for reuse, inspect lining back plate for cracks or
excessive yielding where plate fits into end
plates 7 or 8 (Figure 5-3).
When replacing linings, never mix new and used

linings in a brake assembly.
9. Slide linings (9) into caliper. It may be necessary to again pry pistons into housing (1).
10. Install end plates (7 & 8), apply Loctite 271 to
threads of end plate capscrews (6). Install capscrews and tighten to 403 ft.lbs. (54.6 N.m)
torque. Check that linings (9) slide freely
between end plates.
11. After completing lining replacement, reinstall
front wheels. Refer to Wheel and Tire Installation, Section G.
Failure to replace lining when worn to limits will

result in loss of braking and possible catastrophic failure.
1. To replace front linings, remove front tire and
rims, refer to Wheel and Tire Installation, Section G.
2. Remove end plates (7 or 8) Figure 5-3 from
either end of caliper.
3. Pry between lining and disc to force pistons to
bottom in caliper housing.
4. Remove lining from inboard and outboard sides
of disc.
5. Inspect dust seals. Seals should be soft, pliable, and show no evidence of hardening or
rupture. If damage is observed, the dust covers

FRONT SERVICE BRAKE CONDITIONING (BURNISHING) PROCEDURE

After any brake lining replacement, or at new truck
start up, the brake linings and discs must be burnished. A surface pyrometer will be necessary to
accurately record disc temperature during brake burnishing procedure.
1. To prevent overheating and possible destruction of rear brakes, temporarily disconnect the
REAR brakes while burnishing front wheel
brakes as follows:
a. Relieve stored pressure in hydraulic system
according to the previous WARNING
instructions.
SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
.
Front Brake Conditioning
BEFORE DISCONNECTING PRESSURE

LINES, REPLACING COMPONENTS IN THE
HYDRAULIC CIRCUITS, OR INSTALLING
TEST GAUGES, ALWAYS BLEED DOWN
HYDRAULIC STEERING ACCUMULATORS
AND BRAKE SYSTEM ACCUMULATORS.
The steering accumulators can be bled down
with engine shut down, turning the keyswitch Off and waiting 90 seconds. Confirm the steering pressure is released by
turning the steering wheel - No front wheel
movement should occur.
The brake accumulators are bled by opening
the two valves (7, Figure 5-5) on the brake
manifold (inside brake cabinet).
BEFORE DISABLING ANY BRAKE CIRCUIT,

insure truck wheels are blocked to prevent
possible rollaway.
REAR BRAKES MUST BE DISCONNECTED
WHEN BURNISHING THE FRONT BRAKES.
Front brakes require burnishing independently from rear brakes in order to control
disc temperatures
EXTREME SAFETY PRECAUTIONS SHOULD
BE USED WHEN MAKING HIGH-ENERGY/
HIGH-SPEED BRAKE STOPS ON ANY
DOWNGRADE.
Safety berms or adequate run off ramps are
necessary for any stopping performance
tests.
Heavy smoke and foul odor from brake linings is normal during burnishing procedures.
b. Disconnect BR hydraulic tube (1, Figure 55) at both ends inside brake control cabinet.
Install a #8, 0.75 x 16 UNF-2B, 37 flare Cap
Nut (WA2567, or equivalent) on each fitting
where tube was removed. Tighten caps to
standard torque to prevent leakage. Cap or
plug tube to prevent contamination.
NOTE: This will disconnect the hydraulic supply from
the operator's brake pedal to the rear brakes. There
will be a noticeable loss of braking action at the
pedal. However, this method of temporarily disabling
the brakes will still permit the application of Brake
Lock, in the event of an emergency.
c. Close brake accumulator bleed valves (7,
Figure 5-5).
2. Drive truck at speeds of 5 to 10 MPH with brake
alternately applied and released using sufficient
pressure to make engine work to a noticeable
extent during apply.
NOTE: The Override Switch on the instrument panel
must be depressed and held by the operator in order
to propel with the brakes applied.
3. Apply front brakes at full pressure until discs
reach 900- 1000F (482-538C). Hold in override switch to maintain propulsion to obtain disc
temperature. Check temperature after 200
yards (182 meters).
4. Let discs cool to 400F (204C) and repeat procedure two more cycles.
5. Allow front disc to cool to 300F (149C).
6. RECONNECT rear brakes:
a. Relieve pressure in hydraulic system according to the previous WARNING instructions.
b. Remove Cap Nuts and reinstall tube (1).
Tighten tube nuts to standard torque.
c. Close accumulator bleed valve (7) handles.
7. Start engine and check for leaks. Bleed brakes
according to bleeding procedures.
8. Insure all brakes are functioning properly.

ROCKWELL ARMATURE SPEED REAR DISC BRAKES

REAR BRAKES
CALIPER, DISC, AND PARKING BRAKE
Each rear wheel service brake assembly consists of

two discs, each with a four piston caliper and a lining
on each side of the disc. Both discs are attached by
adapters to the wheel motor armature. Also mounted
on each wheel motor is a dual piston, two lining caliper
acting on each outboard disc as a parking brake.
NOTE: Some trucks may be equipped with TWO (2)
Park Brake Calipers per wheel. Service and
presented here.
A constant brake-release clearance between pistons
and linings, and lining and disc, is maintained by an
automatic adjustment feature of the piston subassembly. As lining wears, the position of grips on a return pin
advances to allow maximum piston force to be applied
to lining. Upon brake release, the piston is retracted by
a return spring for the amount of the predetermined
clearance.

switch is Off and drain valves on brake accumulators are opened and steering accumulator is bled
down. Turn steering wheel to be sure steering
accumulator is completely bled down.

(2) are seated in bottom of cavity.
5. Install new or reusable dust shields (6). Keep
these parts free of lubricant.
Inspection
1. Inspect piston surfaces for nicks, scratches or
rust.
2. Inspect housing bore for nicks, scratches or rust.
Minor nicks, scratches and rust can be removed
with fine emery cloth providing the following wear
limits are not exceeded:
Piston O.D. . . . . . . 2.621 in. (66.5 mm) min.

Housing Bore I.D. . 2.630 in. (66.8 mm) max.
3. Replace parts if worn beyond above limits.
Piston Assembly Installation
When installing dust shields, avoid applying pressure on shields over sharp edge of shield groove
surrounding piston cavities. Underside of shields
can be cut if care is not taken and cause failure of
shields in service.
6. Position and support housing assembly on bench
with return pins up. Install return pin nuts with
washers (4) where required. Hold return pin from
turning with a narrow-bladed screwdriver or hex
key wrench, and tighten nuts to 135 15 in.lbs.
(15.3 1.7 N.m) torque.
1. Lubricate pistons, seals, and housing bores with

clean C-3 hydraulic oil.
2. Install piston O-ring (7, Figure 6-7) into housing
seal groove and push to bottom of groove. (Considering opening to housing bore as top.)
3. Install backup ring (16) into top of housing seal
groove with concave or curved side against Oring.

DO NOT tighten nuts with hydraulic pressure

applied to piston or caliper assembly.
7. Place brake housing assembly on arbor press,
press piston assembly into cavity to fully retracted
position as shown in Figure 6-5.
J06020
NOTE: If desired, installation of brake housing

components may be temporarily withheld to perform a
Functional Test.
1. The piston subassembly can be inspected for

required return spring force and built-in clearance
adjustment at the same time. Use the set-up on a
spring checker as shown in Figure 6-8.
2. Set up dial indicator between arbor of spring
checker and table.
3. Place sleeve (A, Figure 6-6) over return pin,
lower arbor and fully compress spring (indicator
pointer will stop moving).
4. With spring compressed, set indicator dial to
zero.

8. Install all fittings with new packings into correct

position in brake housings.
9. For ease of brake caliper installation, do not
install linings and retaining plates in calipers.
Bench Test should be performed on brake calipers before installation.
FUNCTIONAL TEST OF PISTON ASSEMBLY
NOTE: Perform functional test prior to disassembling
piston assembly to determine if any components
require replacement. To assure proper operation, also
perform functional test prior to installing piston
assembly in caliper housing, if disassembled.
Return Spring Force
Return spring (14, Figure 6-7) captured between outer
spring guide (8) and spring retainer (5), exerts a return
force, through spring retainer (5) and threaded retaining ring (4) on piston (11). With brake applied (spring
compressed to a minimum height) return spring force
should be between 180-250 lb. (800-1112 N).
Built-In Clearance
This is the amount piston will retract when brake pressure is released. Piston is retracted by force of piston
return spring (14, Figure 6-7). Required built- in clearance is 0.065-0.073 in. (1.65-1.85 mm), obtained by
the setting of threaded retaining ring (4).
J06020
FIGURE 6-6. GRIP SPACE AND INSTALLATION

SLEEVES
5. Raise arbor slowly until spring checker force
scale reads zero. Reading on indicator dial will be
the built-in clearance which should be 0.0550.073 in. (1.65-1.85 mm).
6. Lower arbor slowly until dial indicator reads zero.
Reading on spring checker force scale will now
indicate the return spring force which should be
180-250 lbs. (808-1112 N) force.
7. Slowly raise and lower arbor several times to verify both built-in clearance and spring force measurements. If measurements are outside this
range, remove lockwire (15, Figure 6-7), lower
arbor until spring is fully compressed, screw
threaded retaining ring clockwise until bottomed
(a spanner wrench is recommended for this) then
back off one full turn (minimum), plus any additional amount to reach the next locking position,
raise arbor and install lockwire. Recheck for correct built-in clearance adjustment by repeating
Steps 3, 4 & 5).
J6-7
8. Return spring force indication, Step 6, should be

a minimum of 180 lbs. (808 N) when fully compressed in the piston subassembly. Although sufficient force will still exist to return the piston
when force is as low as 135-140 lbs. (606- 628
N), and under emergency conditions may continue to be used, it is recommended that the piston assembly be disassembled and the spring
replaced. Return spring (14, Figure 6-7) should
then be inspected for evidence of permanent set.
NOTE: Whenever a spring is found to exert too low a
force, it is probable that all other return springs from the
same brake assembly will measure the same low
value. High brake temperature can cause permanent
spring set, hardening of piston seals and blue coloring
of lining backer plates.

Grip Force
This is the force that is required to make the pair of grip
assemblies (6, Figure 6-7) slip on return pin (10). Grip
force should always be a minimum of approximately
two times the return spring force. The slip force of a
pair of grips will normally measure between 400 (1779
N) and 800 lb. (3558 N). If it is necessary to measure
force required to slip the return pin in grip assemblies
while installed in this piston assembly, it will be necessary to provide several special tools, such as those
illustrated in Figure 6-9 & 6-10 or tools that will perform
equivalent functions. Special tool as shown in Figure 69, (calibrated spring pod) need not be provided if a
hydraulic press is available with a pressure gauge calibrated to read pounds of force exerted by the ram. A
typical hydraulic press with an effective ram area of
3.53 sq. in. (22.7 cm2 will exert a force of 400 lb. (1779
N) at a pressure reading of 113 psi (779 kPa) and 800
lb. (3558 N) at a pressure reading of 226 psi (1558
kPa). Gauge readings of 110 psi (758 kPa) minimum
and 230 psi (1558 kPa) maximum will be sufficient for
the measurement of grip force. A gauge of about 500
psi (3447 kPa) should be used, with a shutoff valve
provided between pump and gauge to protect gauge
from damage when press is used for higher pressure
duty. Pump pressure should be applied slowly. Where
a hydraulic press is not available, refer to illustration in
Figure 6-10 for special tool, (or similar), used in conjunction with a standard arbor press, to make grip force
measurements. To make grip force measurements,
use the special tools illustrated in Figures 6-9 & 6-10.
FIGURE 6-8. CHECKING SPRING FORCE AND

BUILT-IN CLEARANCE ADJUSTMENT

3. Return pin should be placed in extended position

when assembling into brake caliper for a special
pin retraction tool (Figure 6-10) or equivalent, is
required for this. Insert piston assembly in tool
and secure firmly with knurled nut. Place pin
return tool/piston assembly combination on arbor
press table, drop in 3 dowel pins as indicated,
place spring pod tool on top of dowels, apply
force slowly to top of spring pod and again
observe if grip slippage occurs within the prescribed limits.
FIGURE 6-9. CALIBRATED SPRING POD

NOTE: The spring for the calibrated spring pod is
from Danly Machine Corporation, Spring Part
Number 9-3218-21. If Danly spring is not
available, use an equivalent, stamping die spring,
with these specifications.

1. Normally, piston assembly will be removed from

brake assembly with return pin in an extended
position. Set calibrated spring pod (Figure 6-9) on
table of arbor press, place piston assembly on top
of spring pod and apply arbor force slowly to
return pin to retracted position. Pin should slip
between 400-800 lb. (1779-3558 N) scribed
marks on spring pod.
2. If slippage definitely occurs before the 400 lbs.
(1779 N) mark on spring pod, grips and return pin
should be replaced. Slippage above the 800 lb.
(3558 N) limit is unlikely, but if this occurs return
pin and grip assembly should be removed and
inspected for grip slippage, and return pin examined for damage. If slippage of return pin and grip
assemblies are over 800 lb. (3558 N), pins and
grip should also be replaced.
J06020
FIGURE 6-10. RETURN PIN RETRACTION

Grip Force Measurement
To measure grip force of grip assemblies installed on
return pin, it is necessary to have available either a
force calibrated hydraulic press, or a calibrated spring
pod (Figure 6-9) used with a standard arbor press.
Do not use spring checker for making grip force

measurements. Sudden grip force release can
destroy calibration and possibly result in damage
to checker.
1. Place spring pod on arbor press table, use
sleeves A & B (Figure 6-6) as illustrated in Figure
6-11 to move grips back and forth several times
on return pin.
2. Apply force slowly, observe that slippage occurs
between the 400 (1779 N) and 800 lb. (3558 N)
markings on spring pod.
J6-9
Grip assemblies and return pins are critical items

in the operation of the piston return mechanism
and should not be mishandled. Under no circumstances should pin diameter be clamped in a vise
or gripped with pliers. In normal use, surface of pin
will show only a very slow rate of wear and both
pins and grips will normally last through many
brake lining changes and brake overhauls.
FIGURE 6-11. GRIP FORCE SLIPPAGE CHECK

3. If slippage occurs between the specified force
limits, move grips to position on pin (shown in
Figure 6-13) and install in piston assembly.
4. If slippage occurs below the 400 lb. (1779 N)
limit, either grips or grips and return pin assembly
must be replaced. Use sleeve (A) (Figure 6-6)
and arbor press to slip both grips off return pin.
Inspect return pin for nicks and wear. Slight nicks
that can be polished out by hand can be reused, if
subsequent slip inspection is acceptable. Any
rework of return pin should be avoided unless
absolutely necessary. Burred threads can be
repaired by use of a 3/8-24 UNF 3 thread die.
Bent, battered or badly worn return pins must be
replaced.
5. Install grips on return pin, as illustrated in Figure

6-13. Position grip and pilot pin assembly as
shown to transfer grip assembly from pilot pin to
piston return pin. Second grip should be seated
firmly against first, after which slip force should be
checked as previously described. After correct
slippage is verified, position of grips on pin should
remain as shown in Figure 6-13, for piston
assembly.
Spring Force Measurement
1. Inspect return spring for a free height dimension
of 1.888 in. (30 mm). A measured height of less
than 1.125 in. (28.5 mm) is an indication that
brake assembly has been subjected to high temperature operation, resulting in permanent set of
spring. This will result in loss of spring force at
working height.
FIGURE 6-12. MEASURING SPRING FORCE
J6-10
J06020
2. Measure spring force at maximum service deflection on a spring checker. Use the outer spring
guide (8, Figure 6-7) for test setup purposes, as
shown in Figure 6-12.
a. Set up dial indicator spring between checker
arbor and table.
b. Place outer spring guide under checker arbor.
c. Lower arbor firmly onto spring guide and hold
arbor in this position.
d. Set indicator dial to zero (Figure 6-12) and
raise arbor.
e. Place spring over spring guide and lower arbor
slowly until dial indicator again reads zero.
f. Read spring force on checker scale (Figure 612).
3. The value read in Step 2 (f.) is the spring return
force exerted by spring the under maximum
deflection while installed in the piston assembly.
Because of manufacturing tolerances, this can be
as low as 180 lb. (800 N), but will usually measure greater than 200 lb. (890 N). It is recommended that springs measuring a force of 180
lbs. (800 N) or less under these test conditions be
replaced.

Disassembly of Piston Assembly

To disassemble piston assembly for separate inspection of return spring (14, Figure 6-7), return pin and grip
assembly (6), proceed as follows:
1. Remove O-ring (2, Figure 6-7) and return pin
washer (3) from return pin.
2. Remove lockwire ring (15).
3. Place piston assembly on arbor press table,
place sleeve (A) special tool illustrated in Figure
6-6 or equivalent) over return pin, lower arbor and
fully compress return spring (Figure 6-14) and
hold.
4. Back out threaded retaining ring (4, Figure 6-7).
With compression relieved, threaded ring can
usually be unscrewed by hand. If threads are
burred it may be necessary to use a spanner
wrench. Spanner wrench may also be necessary
for assembly and for setting of built-in clearance.
5. Slowly raise arbor until all compression on the
piston return spring (14) is relieved.
FIGURE 6-14. RETAINER RING REMOVAL

Assembly of Piston Assembly

1. Assemble inner spring guide (10, Figure 6-15),
return pin and grip assembly (8 & 9) and spring
retainer (5) loosely into piston (11).
2. Using sleeve (A), (Figure 6-6) install sleeve over
return pin against spring retainer.
3. Apply force with a press to fully compress return
spring.
4. With spring compressed, turn (clockwise direction) threaded retaining ring (2, Figure 6-15)
down against spring retainer. Use a spanner
wrench to be certain retaining ring is fully bottomed.
5. Continue holding spring compression and turn

retaining ring one full turn (minimum) counterclockwise, plus any additional amount (1/8 turn
max.) to allow for lockwire installation. This provides the necessary built-in clearance adjustment
required for piston retraction after brake release.
6. Install lockwire ring (1).
7. Lubricate cylinder walls, threads, seals, piston
seal surfaces, etc. with clean C-3 hydraulic oil.
8. Install return pin washer (4, Figure 6-15) on piston assembly return pin (8) and install new return
pin O-ring (3).
9. Install dust shield (12) in groove of piston (11).
10. Refer to Caliper Piston Installation.
BENCH TEST
The purpose of this test is to verify that overhaul of the
calipers was performed satisfactorily. If any leakage
occurs during this test the caliper assembly must be
rebuilt.
A hydraulic supply with sufficient volume and pressure
capacity to extend piston assemblies will be necessary.
A gauge of 0-2000 psi (0-14 MPa) should be placed in
the output line of the hydraulic source.
Fabricate two blocks using (front and rear) lining backing plates as templates. Thickness of plate for the front
caliper should be 1.25 in. (31.75 mm) thick. Thickness
of plate for rear caliper should be 1.0 in. (25.4 mm)
thick.
1. If necessary, bolt caliper halves together with
mounting hardware or Grade 8 capscrews and
nuts of adequate diameter and length to securely
retain caliper halves together during testing.
Tighten capscrews and/or nuts to standard
torque.
2. Install new lining assemblies and appropriate test
block for caliper being tested.
3. Connect oil lines between two caliper halves.

BRAKE LINING
Replacement
Oil used in the hydraulic source must be of the
same type as used in the Brake Circuit on the
Komatsu truck.
4. Attach hydraulic source to inlet port of caliper
assembly.
Inspect brakes periodically for wear. Linings must be

replaced when lining material has been worn to a minimum of 0.31 in. (7.8 mm). Use of linings beyond this
wear limit will result in a decrease of braking action,
and possible damage to disc.
5. Bleed air from caliper assembly.
During testing or bleeding procedure, DO NOT

allow oil to come into contact with brake linings.
6. Gradually increase hydraulic pressure to 1200 psi
(8.4 MPa), observing piston assembly for leakage.
7. Reduce pressure to 0 psi (0 MPa) and repeat
Step 6 three times.
8. If no leakage has been observed, reduce pressure to 0 psi (0 MPa) and disconnect hydraulic
source.
9. After caliper has been installed on wheel assembly prior to lining installation, pry each piston until
fully retracted into caliper housing.
NOTE: Use adequate force to pry each piston into
caliper fully into housing.
10. Install brake calipers according to Installation
instructions this Section.
FIGURE 6-16. REAR BRAKE CALIPER LINING

REPLACEMENT
1. Capscrew
2. Retaining Plates
When replacing linings, never mix new and used

linings in an assembly.
1. To change linings, remove retaining plates (2,
Figure 6-16) on the end of caliper and slip out
worn linings.
2. Before installing new linings, pistons must be
forced back into brake assemblies until fully
retracted, using a piston retraction tool (Figure 617) or similar tool, between face of piston and
disc.
NOTE: Considerable force will be required to retract
piston. If a piston should move too easily, brake should
be removed for complete disassembly for inspection of
grip and return pin assembly. In returning pistons to a
retracted position, care must be taken not to damage
dust shields with retraction tool.
J06020
J6-13
FIGURE 6-17. PISTON RETRACTION TOOL

3. Inspect condition of brake caliper thoroughly
before installing linings.
a. Inspect for evidence of fluid leakage. If
present, brake must be removed for disassembly, inspection and repair.
b. Inspect condition of dust shields. These
should be soft and pliable, and show no evidence of hardening of material, rupture, etc.
Where replacement is necessary, removal
and disassembly of brake for inspection is recommended to insure that dirt has not entered
piston cavity through a ruptured seal.
c. Inspect condition of tubing and fittings. If leakage is evident, correct or replace fittings as
necessary.
4. Inspect discs for wear (Figure 6-18). Place a

straight edge across face of disc and measure
from straight edge to worn face. It is recommended that the disc be replaced when this measurement is 0.06 in. (1.52 mm) each side of disc
or at a minimum worn thickness of 0.88 in. (22.3
mm). It may be difficult to use a straight edge on
the back surface of the disc so a visual comparison may be used with that of the front. Normally,
wear will be the same on both sides.
NOTE: When installing new linings to be used against
a worn disc, useful lining life will be shortened by the
depth of the disc wear, since the lining must advance
this additional distance before braking force is
effective. In addition, the uneven wear on the disc face
will accelerate lining wear.
Do not rub or press dust shield directly over sharp

edge around piston cavity. This may cause dust
shields to be cut.
d. Wipe brake housing and lining retaining plates
clean before installation of new linings. If a
petroleum base cleaning fluid is used, such as
diesel fuel, use sparingly on dust shields and
wipe dry after cleaning.
J6-14
J06020
5. Install new linings and lining retaining plate (2,

Figure 6-16).
6. Apply Loctite 271 to threads of capscrews (1)
and tighten to 190 ft.lbs. (258 N.m) torque.
Check that linings slide freely between retainer
plates.
7. Check brakes for operation. Linings should be
free after release, with minimum of 0.03 in. (0.76
mm) disc to lining clearance. If clearance not
present, each piston must be pried completely
into caliper housings.
8. After installing new brake pads, and before
releasing truck to production, the brakes must be
burnished. Refer to Conditioning (Burnishing)
Procedure.
FIGURE 6-18. DISC WEAR LIMITS
J06020
J6-15
SERVICE BRAKE CONDITIONING (BURNISHING) PROCEDURE

General
Safety Precautions
These procedures apply ONLY to the brake lining

assemblies obtained from Komatsu Parts Dept. for use
on Komatsu Electric Drive Trucks equipped with Rockwell/Goodyear disc brakes.
Conditioning and burnishing of service brake linings
must be performed each time a new set of brake linings
are installed, or before a new Komatsu Truck is put into
operational service. A surface pyrometer is required to
measure brake disc temperatures during the conditioning procedures.
If Brake Certification type tests are to be run, all linings and discs should be new and the factory should be
notified. For in-service testing of service brakes, new
linings or discs are not necessary.
Front discs should be in serviceable condition with no
metal smearing or metal buildup from previous use and
not extensively rough or grooved. Inspect discs for
wear limits.
Rear discs will operate at higher temperatures and can
be dark blue in color and show periodic spots [approximately 1.5 in. (3.8 cm) in size] and still be serviceable.
A disc that is extremely heat-checked with radial cracks
open to show a gap should not be used.
To prevent lining damage during burnishing, as

well as for stop distance tests, release the brakes
as quickly as possible at the end of each cycle or
stop.
The burnish procedure consists of:
1. Alternately applying and releasing the service
brakes until the recommended brake disc surface
temperature is reached: then allow brakes to
cool. Cool brakes, if necessary, by driving
machine. (Rear brakes will normally cool faster
than fronts.) Repeat cycle 3 - 4 more times.
BEFORE DISCONNECTING PRESSURE LINES,

REPLACING COMPONENTS IN THE HYDRAULIC CIRCUITS, OR INSTALLING TEST
GAUGES, ALWAYS BLEED DOWN HYDRAULIC STEERING AND BRAKE ACCUMULATORS.
The steering accumulators can be bled down
with engine shut down, turning the keyswitch
"Off" and waiting 90 seconds. Confirm the
steering pressure is released by turning the
steering wheel - No front wheel movement
should occur. Open the two valves (7, Figure 619) at the bottom of the brake accumulators
(inside brake cabinet) to bleed down the two
brake accumulators.
BEFORE DISABLING ANY BRAKE CIRCUIT,
insure truck wheels are blocked to prevent
possible rollaway.
FRONT BRAKES MUST BE DISCONNECTED
WHEN BURNISHING THE REAR BRAKES.
Front brakes require burnishing independently
from rear brakes in order to control disc temperatures
EXTREME SAFETY PRECAUTIONS SHOULD
BE USED WHEN MAKING HIGH-ENERGY/
HIGH-SPEED BRAKE STOPS ON ANY DOWNGRADE.
Safety berms or adequate run off ramps are
necessary for any stopping performance tests.
Heavy smoke and foul odor from brake linings
is normal during burnishing procedures.
2. To expedite the burnishing cycles of heating and

cooling, operate the brakes on only one axle at a
time, so that the other system will be cooling
(operate front brakes with rear brakes disconnected, or rear brakes with front brakes disconnected).
3. The recommended order for burnishing is: Front,
Rear, Front, Rear, Front, Rear and Front.
J6-16
J06020
Rear Brake Conditioning

Note: Front brakes
will
require
burnishing
independently from rear brakes in order to control disc
temperatures.
5. If linings smoke or smell during the second cycle,

continue to repeat burnishing cycle until smoke
and smell are gone or are significantly reduced.
6. Reconnect front brakes:
a. Relieve pressure in hydraulic system according to the previous WARNING instructions.
Extreme safety precautions should be used when

making high-energy/high-speed brake stops on
any downgrade. Safety berms or adequate run off
ramps are necessary for any stopping performance
tests.
1. Temporarily disconnect the FRONT brakes using
the following procedure:
b. Remove Cap Nuts and reinstall tube (5).

Tighten tube nuts to standard torque.
c. Close accumulator bleed valve (7) handles.
7. Start engine and check for leaks. Bleed brakes
according to procedure on the following page.
8. Insure all brakes are functioning properly before
releasing truck.
a. Observe safety precautions on the previous

page and relieve stored pressure in hydraulic
system.
b. Disconnect BF hydraulic tube (5, Figure 619) at both ends inside brake control cabinet.
Install a #8, 0.75 x 16UNF-2B, 37 flare Cap
Nut (WA2567, or equivalent) on each fitting
where tube was removed. Tighten caps to
standard torque to prevent leakage. Cap or
plug tube to prevent contamination.
NOTE: This will disconnect the hydraulic supply from the operator's brake pedal to the front
brakes. There will be a noticeable loss of
braking action at the pedal. However, this
method of temporarily disabling the brakes will
still permit the application of Brake Lock, in the
event of an emergency.
c. Close accumulator bleed valves handles (7).
2. Drive empty truck on level terrain at speeds of 5
to 10 MPH while applying (dragging) the brakes
using sufficient pressure to make engine Work
until the disc temperatures reach or exceed
600F (316C).
NOTE: The Override Switch on the instrument panel
must be depressed and held by the operator in order to
propel the truck with the brakes applied.
FIGURE 6-19. BRAKE MANIFOLD AND
COMPONENTS
Do not exceed 800F (427C) disc temperatures

to the following instructions:
6. Check hydraulic reservoir level as bleeding takes

place, maintain correct level.
1. Fill hydraulic tank following procedure in Section

P, Hydraulic Tank Service.
7. Before returning truck to production, brake lining

must be burnished.
2. Close brake accumulator drain valves (7, Figure

6-19), if open.
3. Securely attach bleeder hose to highest bleeder
valve of each caliper, direct hose away from
brake assembly and into a container to catch
excess oil.
4. With engine at idle make partial brake application
of service brake pedal:
All new brake linings must be burnished prior to

being put in service. Refer to Service Brake Conditioning.
a. Maintaining partial application, open bleeder

valve until a clean stream of oil is discharged
from caliper.
b. Close bleeder valve.
5. Repeat above Steps until all air is bled from all
calipers.

ROCKWELL DISC PARKING BRAKE

A park brake assembly is mounted to each wheel
motor on each outboard disc and is intended for
parking only. The park brake caliper is a dual piston,
spring applied, hydraulically released type brake
designed for petroleum base fluid.
NOTE: Some trucks may be equipped with TWO (2)
Park Brake Calipers per wheel. Service and
presented here.
The parking brake housing contains two spring
loaded, lining faced, pistons. The spring preload is
controlled by an adjustment bolt. A yoke, which fits
over the housing, contains the adjustment bolt and is
secured to the housing with a clamping bolt.
The springs are held in place by spring retainers. The
spring retainers are grooved to receive the inside
diameter of the piston dust boot, and the housing is
grooved to receive the outside diameter of the piston
dust boot.

PARK BRAKE BURNISH PROCEDURE

Lining Conditioning
1. Preheat brake disc with service brakes to clean
and heat rear discs to between 350F - 500F
(177C - 260C).
2. Park on hot disc (3 to 5 minutes) to clean and
heat parking brake linings.
NOTE: Parking capabilities can be tested by parking
loaded truck (Do NOT exceed rated GVW shown
on Grade/Speed decal in cab) on steepest hauling
grade in mine (not to exceed 15% grade).
If parking brake does not hold on grade, allow vehicle
to start to roll down grade for approximately 15 ft.
(4.6 m), then stop truck with service brakes. While

HYDRAULIC SYSTEM OPERATION
The following describes the basic hydraulic system
operation. Further system description is outlined
under different system circuits such as the hoist circuit and steering circuit in this section of the manual.
Refer to Section J for details regarding the hydraulic brake system.
The hoist, steering and brake circuits share a common hydraulic tank (1, Figure 2-1). The tank is
located on the left frame rail forward of the rear
wheels.
The service capacity of the tank is 238 gal. (901 l).

Type C-4 hydraulic oil is recommended for use in
the hydraulic system.
NOTE: It is recommended that any hydraulic oil
to be used for filling or adding to the hydraulic
system is routed through a 3 micron filter device
prior to use.

immediately.
COMPONENT DESCRIPTION
HOIST PUMP
The hoist pump (5, Figure 2-2) is a tandem gear type
pump. The pump is mounted behind the main alternator and driven by a drive shaft connection between
the pump and the accessory drive output of the alternator. The pump has a total output of 230 GPM (870
l/min.) at 1900 RPM.
STEERING/BRAKE PUMP
The Steering/Brake system pump (3) is mounted on
the rear of the hoist system pump and coupled to the
hoist pump driveshaft. This pump has an output of 65
GPM (246 l/min) at 1900 RPM. Output from this
pump provides oil for the truck steering system as
well as the service brake system.
TANK
The hydraulic tank provides a common supply of oil
for the hoist, steering, and brake systems. The
hydraulic tank service capacity is 238 Gal (901 l).
Oil leaving the hydraulic tank (1) passes through two
100 mesh wire strainers before entering the hydraulic pumps. Oil level should be checked periodically
and be visible in the bottom sight glass when the
body is down and the engine is running. If filling is
required, use only clean, filtered type C-4 hydraulic
oil.
HIGH PRESSURE HYDRAULIC FILTERS

The truck is equipped with high pressure hydraulic oil
filters to filter the oil supply at the outlet of the pumps.
The steering/brake system filter (4) and two hoist cir-
L2-2
Flow restriction through the filter element is sensed

by a pressure differential switch. When restriction is
excessive, the switch will turn on an indicator lamp
inside the cab to notify the operator that filter service
is required.
BLEEDDOWN MANIFOLD
The bleeddown manifold (6, Figure 2-2) receives oil
from the steering/brake pump and directs it to the
steering accumulators (9), brake system, and to the
flow amplifier (7), for steering circuit components.
STEERING SYSTEM ACCUMULATORS
The steering accumulators (9) provide an adequate
volume of pressurized oil to allow the truck to be
steered to a safe area if a malfunction occurs in the
pump. (Brake system accumulators store a supply of
oil to allow several brake applications if the steering/
brake pump malfunctions. Refer to Section J for
detailed information.)
DISABLED TRUCK CONNECTORS
Quick disconnect fittings are provided to allow operation of the steering and brake circuits for temporary
truck operation if the steering/brake pump is not
operational. The steering circuit fittings (10) are connected to another (operational) truck by hoses. A
jumper hose must be installed between the two brake
circuit quick disconnects (11) to enable service brake
operation. This will allow maintenance personnel to
move the truck to a suitable area for performing
repairs.
Another pair of quick disconnect fittings are installed
on the Overcenter Valve Manifold located above the
steering/brake pump. These fittings are used to
attach hoses to an operational truck in the event that
the hoist pump, hoist valve or other hoist system
component malfunctions. This will allow maintenance
personnel to raise the truck body to dump the load
before moving the disabled truck.
The steering circuit and hoist circuit relief valves are
adjusted to 2500 psi (17 240 kPa). The brake system
relief is adjusted to 3500 psi (24 132 kPa).
Refer to the appropriate information in this section of
the manual for repair and troubleshooting procedures
for the hoist system components and steering system components. Refer to Section J for repair and
troubleshooting procedures for the hydraulic brake
system components.

Removal
NOTE: It is not necessary to remove the steering
pump with the hoist pump. The steering pump may
be disengaged and supported as the hoist pump is
removed.
1. Turn the keyswitch Off and allow ample time
(approximately 90 seconds) for the accumulators to bleed down. Turn the steering wheel to
be sure no oil remains under pressure.
2. Drain the hydraulic tank by use of the drain

valve (12, Figure 3-1) located on the bottom of
the tank.
NOTE: If oil in the hydraulic tank has not been
contaminated, the shut-off valves can be closed and
both pump inlet lines can be drained, eliminating the
need to completely drain the tank. Refer to Figure 31.

INSPECTION OF PARTS
1. Examine the gear bores in both gear plates, reference Figure 3-7. During the initial break-in,
the gears cut into the gear plates. The nominal
depth of this cut is 0.008 in (0.203 mm) and
should not exceed 0.015 in (0.381 mm). As the
gear teeth cut into the gear plates, metal is
rolled against the pressure plates. Using a knife
or sharp pointed scraper, remove the metal that
was rolled against the pressure plates. Remove
all metal chips that were broken loose.
When removing the rolled up metal, do not

attempt to remove the gear track-in grooves.
2. Examine the pressure plates. They should not

show excessive wear on the bronzed side. If
deep curved wear marks are visible, discard
and replace with new.
3. Examine the gears. If excessive wear is visible
on the journals, sides, or face of the gears, or at
the point where the drive gear rotates in the lip
seal, discard and replace with new.
4. If any of the internal parts show excessive wear,
replace with new. Replace all O-rings and seals
with new.

5. Inspect the bearings, if they are worn beyond

the gray teflon into the bronze material, the
complete flange connector plates or bearing
plate should be replaced.
NOTE: Replacing new bearing in the flange,
connector plates or bearing plate is not
recommended due to close tolerances and special
tooling required for crimping the bearing in place to
prevent bearing spin.
6. Inspect the flange seal bore for scratches or
gouges which may interfere with shaft seal
installation.
7. For additional pump and system inspection refer
to the Troubleshooting Guide.

HYDRAULIC TANK BREATHERS

There are two breather filters (3, Figure 3-16) located
on top of the hydraulic tank to allow air in and out of
the tank. The filters should be replaced at the interval
specified on the lubrication chart.
Keep the area around the breather filters clean and
free of debris build up. If there is any sign that the
breather filters are oil soaked, replace the filters as
soon as possible and check for proper oil level. Once
the breather filters become oil soaked, they will plug
very quickly.
NOTE: Plugged breather filters can cause pressure
build up inside the hydraulic tank and can cause the
service brakes to drag.
HOIST CIRCUIT FILTERS

Two hoist circuit filters (Figure 3-18) are located on
the fuel tank below the right frame rail. The filters provide secondary filtering protection for hydraulic oil
flowing to the hoist valve and hoist circuit components.
An indicator switch (5) is designed to alert the operator of filter restriction before actual bypass occurs.
The switch contacts close at 35 psi (241 kPa) to actuate a warning lamp on the overhead display panel.
Actual filter bypass occurs at 50 psi (345 kPa).
NOTE: When the engine is initially started and the
hydraulic oil is cold, the warning lamp may actuate.
Allow the hydraulic system oil to reach operating
temperature before using the warning lamp as an
indicator to change the element.
Refer to Section P, Lubrication and Service for recommended normal filter element replacement interval. Earlier replacement may be required if the
restriction indicator lamp turns on.
Premature filter restriction may indicate a system
component failure and signal a service requirement
before extensive secondary damage can occur.
NOTE: An early indication of the filter warning light at
first installation may be due to restriction in the filter
as it cleans the system. Unless the fluid appears
contaminated or has a strong foul odor, do not
change the oil; replace only the filter element.

STEERING CIRCUIT
STEERING CIRCUIT OPERATION
The steering/brake pump (2, Figure 4-1) delivers oil
to the high pressure steering filter (7), then to a
bleed down manifold valve (4) which is located on
the inside left frame rail. The bleed down manifold
diverts oil between the steering circuit and brake circuit. The bleed down manifold directs oil to the
steering accumulators (6), flow amplifier (7), brake
circuit and steering cylinders via the flow amplifier.
Oil entering the accumulator via the bleed down
manifold pushes the floating piston within the accumulator upward, compressing the nitrogen on the
opposite side of the piston. The nitrogen pressure
increases directly with steering circuit pressure. The
top side of the piston is pre-charged to 1400 psi (9
653 kPa) with pure dry nitrogen when the piston is
at the bottom.
The accumulator oil is supplied constantly to the

flow amplifier, via the bleed down manifold. The
accumulators also act as a reservoir for pressurized
hydraulic oil to be used during an emergency situation should the hydraulic steering oil supply malfunction for any reason.
If a loss in steering pressure occurs, stop the

truck immediately. The pressure in the accumulator allows the operator to steer the truck only
for a short period. Do not attempt further operation until the problem is located and corrected.

Steering Circuit
L4-1
Hydraulic oil flows to the closed center steering valve
via the flow amplifier. The flow amplifier is pilot-controlled by the steering valve. Due to large oil displacement in the steering cylinders, the flow amplifier
is incorporated in the steering circuit. The steering
column is connected directly to the steering valve.
When the steering wheel is rotated, oil is directed to
the steering cylinders via the flow amplifier to the
appropriate side of the pistons in the steering cylinders. When steering circuit pressure reaches 2500
psi (17 238 kPa) at the flow amplifier, or during a no
steer situation, flow is blocked at the priority valve
within the flow amplifier.
STEERING CONTROL UNIT

The steering control unit is located behind an access
cover on the front of the operator's cab. The steering
control unit is connected directly to the steering column. The valve incorporates a rotary meter which
ensures the oil volume supplied to the steering cylinders is proportional to the rotation of the steering
wheel.
Operation of the steering control unit is both manual
and hydraulic in effect, providing the operator with
power steering. The valve will be spring returned
automatically to its closed, neutral position when
turning is stopped.
FLOW AMPLIFIER
The flow amplifier (Figure 4-2) is located on the left
inside frame rail just forward of the bleed down manifold. The flow amplifier is required in the steering circuit due to the large volume of oil displacement
required for steering. The flow amplifier uses the
amount of flow from the steering control valve to
determine the amount of amplified flow to send from
the bleed down manifold to the steering cylinders.
Reference Figures 4-3 through 4-6 for oil flow paths
during the neutral, steering and external shock load
conditions.

No Steer
(Refer to Figure 4-3):
High pressure oil from the steering pump and steering accumulators is available through the steering
bleeddown manifold to the HP port on the flow amplifier assembly.
Upon Entering the priority valve, it goes past the
spool to the closed amplifier valve and also out port P
through a hose to port P on the steering control unit.
In the control unit, it goes to a closed area in the control valve.
L4-4
As pressure builds up in these two areas, oil passes

through orifices in the end of the priority valve and
builds pressure on the end of the valve and port PP.
When pressure reaches approximately 500 psi (3
447 kPa), the spool moves compressing its spring
and closes off oil supply through area A resulting in
only 500 psi (3 447 kPa) at the amplifier spool, steering control unit, and PP port.
Steering Circuit
L04037
FIGURE 4-3. FLOW AMPLIFIER (No Steer)
L04037
Steering Circuit
L4-5
Steering Left
When the operator turns the steering wheel left, the
steering control unit valve is opened to allow oil coming in port P to pass to the gerotor section of the control unit to turn the rotor. Oil in the other side of the
gerotor flows through other passages in the control
unit valve and out steering control unit port L. This oil
enters port L of the flow amplifier assembly and goes
to a closed area B in the directional valve. As pressure in this area builds, it also passes into the spool
through orifice C to the spring area on the end of the
directional valve. The pressure then moves the spool
compressing the springs on the opposite end. This
movement allows the oil entering area B to pass
through the directional valve to area D of the amplifier valve through sleeve E holes to a passage
between sleeve E and valve F through hole G in
sleeve E where it initially is blocked by the valve
body. As pressure builds up in this area, oil also flows
from area D around the OD sleeve E around pin H
through orifice J to build pressure on the end of the
amplifier valve and opens hole G only enough to
allow the flow of oil coming from the steering control
unit to pass to the control area of the directional
valve. At the same time, the movement of sleeve E
opened the holes near the spring end to allow the oil
from the priority valve to flow into the center of sleeve
E. This oil now inside sleeve E pushes valve F
against its spring to give the oil access to a series of
holes K that are in the same plane as hole G. The
passage of oil through holes K past the valve body is
metered by holes K being opened the same proportion as is hole G.
L4-6
The number of holes K (9) in sleeve E determine the

amount of additional oil that is added to the steering
control unit oil passing through hole G. This combined oil going to the center area Q of the directional
valve passes out port CL of the flow amplifier assembly and travels to the steering cylinders to steer the
front wheels to the left. As the cylinders move, oil is
forced to return out the opposite ends, enter port CR
of the flow amplifier assembly, pass through the
directional valve to area M, passes through the return
check valve N, and exit port HT to the hydraulic reservoir.
At the steering control unit, when the operator turned
the steering wheel, supply oil from port P was also
delivered through the control unit valve to port LS.
This oil enters the flow amplifier assembly through its
LS port and builds pressure in the spring area of the
priority valve. This additional force on the spring end
of the priority valve causes area A to open and allow
the necessary flow and pressure to pass through the
amplifier valve to operate the steering cylinders.
The flow amplifier assembly includes a relief valve in
the priority valve spring area that is used to control
maximum steering working pressure to 2500 psi (17
237 kPa) even though supply pressure coming into
port HP is higher. When 2500 psi (17 237 kPa) is
obtained, the relief valve prevents the LS pressure
from going higher and thereby allows the priority
valve to compress the spring enough to close off
area A when 2500 psi (17 237 kPa) is present.

Steering Right
Only a few differences occur between steer left and
steer right. When the operator turns the steering
wheel right, oil is supplied out ports R and LS of the
steering control unit. The oil enters the flow amplifier
assembly at port R and shifts the directional valve
the opposite direction. The oils flow through the
amplifier valve exactly the same.
L4-8
The combined oil from the amplifier valve passes

through the center area Q of the directional valve to
port CR where it goes to the opposite ends of the
steering cylinders to turn the wheels right. The
returning oil comes back through port CL to go to the
tank. The LS oil operates exactly the same as steer
left.

No Steer, External Shock Load

When the operator is not turning the steering wheel,
the steering control unit valve supply is closed. The
directional valve remains centered by its springs thus
closing the passages to ports CL and CR. This creates a hydraulic lock on the steering cylinders to prevent their movement. If the tires hit an obstruction to
cause a large shock load to force the wheels to the
left, increased pressure will occur in the ends of the
cylinders connected to port CR. The shock and suction relief valve inside the flow amplifier assembly at
port CR will open at its adjusted setting (2900 psi, (19
995 kPa)) and allow oil to escape from the pressurized ends of the cylinders preventing a higher pressure.
L4-10
As the cylinders are allowed to move, the other ends

will have less than atmospheric pressure on port CL.
This low pressure permits oil that is escaping through
the CR port relief valve to flow through the check
valve portion of the shock and suction relief valve
connected to port CL. The oil then flows to the low
pressure ends of the cylinders to keep the cylinders
full of oil and prevent cavitation. A shock load in the
opposite direction merely reverses the above procedure.

BLEED DOWN MANIFOLD

The bleed down manifold (10, Figure 4-7) is located
on the inside of the left hand frame rail just behind
the flow amplifier (6).
The relief valves, accumulator bleed down solenoids, and steering pressure switch are not individually rebuildable and are factory preset. Refer to
Steering Circuit Check-Out Procedure for relief
valve setting.
The bleed down manifold is equipped with two bleed

down solenoid valves (1), two relief valves (5 & 9), a
low steering pressure switch (4), and pilot operated
check valve (13). The bleed down manifold receives
oil from a high pressure filter. Oil within the bleed
down manifold is directed to the accumulators, brake
circuit, and flow amplifier. Oil supply for the steering
control valve and steering cylinders is supplied by
the flow amplifier.
Each time the keyswitch is turned Off, it energizes

the bleed down solenoids. When the bleed down
solenoids are energized, all hydraulic steering pressure, including the accumulator, is bled back to the
hydraulic tank. Brake pressure however, will not
bleed down due to internal check valves in the brake
manifold.
If for any reason the steering pump supply is lost, the

truck can be slaved from another truck by using the
quick disconnects. Connect disabled truck lines to
the quick disconnect fittings located on the outside of
the left frame rail, by the steering accumulators. Also
connect a jumper hose between the quick disconnects (2), one located on the bleeddown manifold,
the other just inside the left frame rail by the disabled
truck quick disconnect. This jumper hose must
capable of withstanding 3500 psi (24 MPa) brake
system pressure.
After approximately 90 seconds, the solenoids will

de-energize to close the return port to tank. By this
time all the oil in the accumulator should be returned
to tank. At start-up, the steering circuit will be
charged, including the brake circuit. The Low Steering Pressure light and buzzer will turn on until steering pressure reaches 2300 psi (15 858 kPa). This is
controlled by the steering pressure switch located on
the bleed down manifold. During operation, if steering pressure falls below 2300 psi (15 858 kPa), the
Low Steering Pressure warning light will illuminate.

ACCUMULATORS
HIGH PRESSURE FILTER
The accumulators (6, Figure 4-1) are a bladder type.

The accumulators are charged to 1400 psi (9.7 MPa)
with pure dry nitrogen.
The high pressure filter (1, Figure 4-1) filters oil for
the steering and brake circuits.
Oil entering the accumulator pushes the bladder

upward compressing the nitrogen. The nitrogen pressure increases directly with steering circuit pressure.
When brake/steering circuit pressure reaches 3500
to 3550 psi (24.5 to 24.85 MPa), the unloader valve
will unload the pump output to approximately 400 psi
(2.8 MPa). The accumulators will contain a quantity
of oil under pressure available for steering the truck.
When system pressure drops to 3200 psi (22.4
MPa), the pump output will again increase to refill the
accumulators and increase steering system pressure. The accumulators also provide oil, for a limited
amount of use, to be used in case of an emergency
situation should the pump become inoperative.
If the filter element becomes restricted, a warning

indicator located in the cab, on the overhead display
is activated at 40 psi (276 kPa) and oil will bypass the
element at 50 psi (345 kPa).
STEERING/BRAKE PUMP
The Steering/Brake pump (2, Figure 4-1) is mounted
on the rear of the tandem hoist pump. This pump
supplies oil to both the brake system and steering
system. Figure 4-8 shows the location of various
steering pump components. Refer to Figure 4-13 for
a hydraulic circuit schematic of the pump with
unloader and compensator.
Low Precharge Warning Switch

Pressure switches located in the top of each accumulator monitor nitrogen pressure and are used to
activate the accumulator precharge warning light if
the nitrogen pressure drops below 1100 psi (7.6
MPa).
The switches monitor nitrogen pressure when the
key switch is turned ON and before the engine is
started. If nitrogen pressure is too low, the warning
lamp turns ON - a latching circuit prevents the warning lamp from turning off when the engine is started
and steering system pressure compresses the nitrogen remaining in the accumulator.
Do not operate the truck with less than 1100 psi

(7 584 kPa) nitrogen precharge in the accumulators because there may be inadequate oil supply
in some emergency conditions. If low nitrogen
precharge pressure is determined, recharge the
accumulators to 1400 psi (9 653 kPa).

Operation
FIGURE 4-9. CUT-AWAY VIEW OF
STEERING PUMP
Refer to the parts list at right and the pump illustration in Figure 4-9 for the following description of operation.
The driveshaft (38, Figure 4-9) runs through the
centerline of pump housing (40) and valve plate
(51).
Cylinder barrel (48) is splined to the drive shaft.
A ball bearing (36) supports the outboard end of
the driveshaft and a (bushing type) bearing (50)
supports the inboard end.
The pump cylinder barrel is carried in a
polymerous (journal type) bearing (44).
The valve plate (51) has two crescent shaped
ports (inlet and outlet).
Pumping pistons (47) in the cylinder barrel are
held against a swashblock (31) by a shoe
retainer (17).
The shoe retainer is held in position by the
fulcrum ball (43) which is forced outward by
retainer springs (13). The springs act against the
pump cylinder barrel (48) forcing it against the
valve plate (51) while also forcing the piston
shoes against the swashblock.
The semi-cylindrical shaped swashblock limits
the piston stroke and can be swivelled in arc
shaped saddle bearings (21).
The cradle is swivelled by the control piston (14).

PRINCIPLE OF OPERATION
Full Pump Volume:
Control piston (1, Figure 4-10) controls the angle of
the swashblock (4). When the control piston moves
to the full right position, the pump is at maximum
pumping capacity.
The driveshaft turns the splined housing (2) which
contains the pumping pistons (3). When the housing
is rotated, the pistons move in and out of their bores
and the piston shoes ride against the angled
swashblock (4).
As the cylinder rotates, the individual piston bores
are connected, alternately to the left (port A) and
right (port B) crescent shaped ports in the valve
plate. While connected to left side (suction) port A,
each piston moves outward, drawing fluid from port A
into the piston bore until its outermost stoke is
reached. At that point the piston bore passes from
the left crescent port to the right crescent port.
FIGURE 4-10. PUMP AT FULL VOLUME

1. Control Piston
2. Housing
3. Piston
4. Swashblock
While rotating across the right side crescent, each

piston moves downward on the angled swashblock
face. Thus, each piston is forced inward. Each piston
displaces fluid through the right side crescent to port
B until it's innermost stroke is reached. At that point,
the piston bore again passes from the right to the left
side crescent and the operating cycle is repeated.
Half Pump Volume:

Figure 4-11 shows that the position of the control piston (1) is near the center of its travel. The swashblock is not angled as steep as before, and therefore
the pistons have a shorter stroke. As the piston
stroke gets shorter, the pump output also decreases.

L04037
Neutral Position:
Neutral position (Figure 4-12) results when the control piston (1) centers the swashblock (4). The
swashblock angle is now zero and swashblock face
is now parallel to cylinder face. Therefore, no inward
or outward motion of the pump pistons exists as piston shoes rotate around the swashblock face. The
lack of inward and outward motion results in no fluid
being displaced from the piston bores to the crescents in the valve plate and subsequently no delivery from pump ports.

Disassembly
1. Once the accumulator has been removed from
the equipment, the accumulator body should be
secured in a vise, preferably a chain vise. If a
standard jaw vise is used, brass inserts should
be used to protect the hydraulic port assembly
from damage. Clamp on wrench flats only
when using a jaw vise to prevent accumulator
from turning.
2. Remove bleeder plug (12, Figure 5-5) on
hydraulic port assembly. Using a spanner
wrench, remove locking ring (10) from the
hydraulic port assembly. Use an adjustable
wrench on the flats located on the port assembly to prevent port assembly from rotating.
3. Remove spacer (9), then push the hydraulic port
assembly into the shell prior to Step 4.

Installation
5. Remove hydraulic port from accumulator shell.
The accumulator weighs approximately 310 lbs.

1. Attach a lifting device to the top section of the
accumulator. Accumulator should be positioned
in the lower mounting bracket with the anti-rotation block positioned between the two stop
blocks.
2. Install mounting clamps (2, Figure 5-4) and
secure in place using capscrews, locknuts and
flatwashers. Tighten capscrews securely, but do
not overtighten as this may distort the accumulator wall.
3. If the pressure switch (9, Figure 5-3) or valve
assembly (8) were removed, install at this time.
Connect electrical leads to the pressure switch.
Using a new O-ring, uncap and connect the
hydraulic line to the accumulator.
4. Precharge the accumulator with pure dry nitrogen to 1400 psi (9653 kPa) as outlined in the
Steering Accumulator Charging Procedure.
NOTE: Permanent damage to accumulator bladder
will result if engine is started without accumulators
properly precharged.
L05026
4. Insert hand into the accumulator shell and

remove the O-Ring backup (8), O-Ring (7), and
metal backup washer (6). Separate the antiextrusion ring from the hydraulic port. Fold antiextrusion ring to enable removal of anti-extrusion ring from shell.
6. Secure bladder valve stem from twisting with an
appropriate wrench applied to the valve stem
flats and remove gas valve manifold (14). Then
remove nut (5) while still holding bladder valve
stem from turning.
7. Fold bladder and pull out of accumulator shell.
A slight twisting motion while pulling on the
bladder reduces effort required to remove bladder from shell. If bladder is slippery, hold with a
cloth.

1. All metal parts should be cleaned with a cleaning agent.
2. Seals and soft parts should be wiped clean.
3. Inflate bladder to normal size. Wash bladder
with a soap solution. If soap solution bubbles,
discard bladder. After testing, deflate bladder
immediately.
4. Inspect assembly for damage; check the poppet
plunger to see that it spins freely and functions
properly.
5. Check anti-extrusion ring and soft seals for damage and wear; replace all worn or damaged
seals with original equipment seals.
L5-3
6. After shell has been cleaned with a cleansing

agent, check the inside and outside of shell.
Special attention should be given to the area
where the gas valve and hydraulic assembly
pass through the shell. Any nicks or damages
in this area could destroy the accumulator bladder or damage new seals. If this area is pitted
consult your Komatsu Service Manager.
Assembly
Assemble the accumulator in a dust and lint free
area. Maintain complete cleanliness during
assembly to prevent possible contamination.
1. After shell (4, Figure 5-5) has been cleaned and
inspected, place accumulator shell in vise or on
table.
2. Thoroughly coat the inside of the accumulator
shell with a liberal amount of clean hydraulic oil
to lubricate and cushion the bladder. Make sure
the entire internal of the shell is lubricated.
Repair of the housing by welding, machining or

plating to salvage a worn area is NOT
APPROVED. These procedures may weaken the
housing and result in serious injury to personnel
when pressurized.
3. With all gas completely exhausted from bladder,

collapse bladder and fold longitudinally in a
compact roll.
4. Insert the bladder pull rod into the valve stem
opening and out through the shell fluid port.
Attach the bladder pull rod to the bladder valve
stem.
5. With one hand, pull the bladder pull rod while
feeding the bladder into the shell with the other
hand. Slight twisting of bladder will assist in this
insertion.
6. Once the bladder valve stem has been pulled
through the valve stem opening in the shell,
install the valve stem nut (5) by hand. Once the
valve stem nut is in place, remove the bladder
pull rod.

8. If removed, install pressure switch (15), valve
assembly (11) and charging valve onto gas
valve manifold (14). Install new O-Ring (16) on
gas valve manifold (14). Hold bladder valve
stem with wrench and install gas valve manifold
(14) and tighten securely.
9. Holding the hydraulic port assembly (2) by the
threaded end, insert the poppet end into the
shell fluid port. Lay complete assembly in side
shell.
19. Precharge accumulator to 100 - 120 psi (690 827 kPa). Refer to Steering Accumulator
Charging Procedure for details. After precharging, install plastic cover over hydraulic port to
prevent contamination. Do not use a screw-in
type plug.
Always store bladder accumulators with 100 120 psi (690 - 827 kPa) nitrogen precharge pressure. Do not exceed 120 psi (827 kPa). Storing
accumulators with more than 120 psi (827 kPa)
pressure is not safe in case of leaks.
10. Fold anti-extrusion ring (3) to enable insertion

into the shell. Once the anti-extrusion ring has
cleared the fluid port opening, place the antiextrusion ring on the hydraulic port assembly
with the steel collar facing toward the shell fluid
port.
NOTE: Bladder accumulators should be stored with

100 - 120 psi (690 - 827 kPa) precharge, which fully
expands the bladder, and holds oil against the inner
walls for lubrication and to prevent rust formation.
11. Pull the threaded end of the port assembly

through the shell fluid port until it seats solidly
into position on the shell fluid port opening.
TESTING
12. Connect nitrogen charging kit to charging valve.

With hydraulic port assembly firmly in place,
slowly pressurize the bladder using dry nitrogen
with sufficient pressure (approximately 40-50
psi) to hold port assembly in place so both
hands are free to continue with assembly.
To carry out the testing required, it will be necessary

to check for internal and external leaks at high pressure. A source of 3500 psi (24132 kPa) hydraulic
pressure and nitrogen pressure of 1400 psi (9653
kPa) will be required. A small water tank will be necessary for a portion of the test.
13. Install the metal O-Ring backup washer (6) over

hydraulic port assembly and push into the shell
fluid port to bottom it out on anti-extrusion ring.
1. Remove charging valve guard and charging

valve cap.
14. Install O-ring (7) over hydraulic port assembly

and push it into the shell fluid port until it has
bottomed out against the metal O-Ring backup
washer (6).
3. Attach gauging assembly to charging valve and

tighten swivel nut (10-15 in.lb) (11.5 -17 cm kg).
4. Hold valve body (6, Figure 5-6) with one wrench
while unscrewing swivel nut (4) with a second
wrench. This will open the poppet inside the
gas valve.
Note: Four turns will fully open poppet.
Do not twist O-ring.

15. Install O-ring back-up (8) over hydraulic port
assembly an push until it bottoms against Oring
16. Insert spacer (9) with the smaller diameter of the
shoulder facing the accumulator shell.
17. Install the locking ring (10) on the hydraulic port
assembly and tighten securely.
This will
squeeze the O-ring into position. Use appropriate wrench on flats on port assembly to insure
the unit does not turn.
18. Install bleeder plug (12) into the hydraulic port
assembly.
L05026
2. Close bleed valve.
5. SLOWLY charge accumulator to 100 psi (690

kPa). After 100 psi is obtained, charging rate
can be increased until fully charged at 1400 psi.
6. Tighten swivel nut (4) to close internal poppet
(10-15 in. lb.) (11.5 -17 cm kg).
7. Submerge accumulator assembly under water
and observe for 20 minutes. No leakage (bubbles) is permitted. If leakage is present, go to
Step 14.
8. Hold charging valve (6) with a wrench and
remove swivel nut assembly.
9. Replace cap on charging valve (10-15 in. lb.)
(11.5-17 cm kg) and install gas valve guard.
L5-5
10. Connect a hydraulic power supply to the oil port

on the accumulator. Be sure bleed plug (12,
Figure 5-5) is installed.
NOTE: If one accumulator is low on nitrogen, it is

recommended that both accumulators be checked/
charged at the same time.
11. Pressurize accumulator with oil to 3,500 psi

(24132 kPa). This may take 6-8 gallons of oil.
1. With engine shut down and key switch in the

Off position, allow at least 90 seconds for the
accumulator to bleed down. Turn the steering
wheel to be certain no oil remains in accumulator under pressure.
12. No external oil leakage is permitted.

13. Slowly relieve oil pressure and remove hydraulic
power supply. Install plastic cover over hydraulic port to prevent contamination.
14. If any gas or oil leakage was present, discharge
all nitrogen gas using the charging equipment
and repair as necessary. If there were no leaks
of any kind, then use the nitrogen charging
equipment and adjust nitrogen precharge pressure to 100 - 120 psi (690 - 827 kPa).
Always store bladder accumulators with 100 120 psi (690 - 827 kPa) nitrogen precharge pressure. Do not exceed 120 psi (827 kPa). Storing
accumulators with more than 120 psi (827 kPa)
pressure is not safe in case of leaks.
15. Verify all warning and caution labels are
attached and legible. Refer to parts book if
replacements are required.
STEERING ACCUMULATOR CHARGING

PROCEDURE
Do not loosen or disconnect any hydraulic line or

component until engine is stopped and key
switch has been Off for at least 90 seconds.
Pure dry nitrogen is the only gas approved for
use in the steering accumulator. The accidental
charging of oxygen or any other gas in this compartment may cause an explosion. Be sure pure
dry nitrogen gas is being used to charge the
accumulator.
When charging or discharging nitrogen gas in
the accumulator, be sure the warning labels are
observed and the instructions regarding the
charging valve are carefully read and understood.
Only precharge accumulators to 1400 psi (9653
kPa) while installed on the truck. Never handle
accumulator with lifting equipment with a nitrogen precharge of 1400 psi (9653 kPa). Always set
precharge to 100 - 120 psi (690 - 827 kPa) before
handling (removing or installing) accumulators.
L5-6
2. Remove charging valve cover. Be certain oil

pressure has been relieved, then remove bleed
plug (12, Figure 5-5).
NOTE: On the front accumulator, bleed plug (12)
must be removed during charging procedure to
insure there is no trapped oil or air inside
accumulator which will affect the nitrogen precharge
pressures. If only the rear most accumulator is being
charged, both brake accumulator bleed down valves
can be opened instead of removing bleed plug (12).
Nitrogen pressure is present in the accumulator.

Make certain only the small swivel hex nut is
turned during the next step. Turning the complete valve assembly may result in the valve
assembly being forced out of the accumulator by
the nitrogen pressure inside.
3. Remove charging valve cap (1, Figure 5-6). Turn
small swivel hex nut (4) three complete turns
counterclockwise.
4. If a loss in nitrogen pressure is the reason for
recharging, inspect the charging valve and
accumulator for damage. Replace or repair
items, as necessary, before charging procedure.
5. Connect the nitrogen charging kit to the charging valves.
a. If the nitrogen precharge is to be bled off,
open the needle valve and slowly bleed off
the pressure.
b. If the precharge is 0 psi, open the regulator
and SLOWLY charge until the bladder is fully
expanded (approximately 100 psi, 690 kPa).
Once the bladder is fully expanded, the
charging rate can be increased.
NOTE: The bladder could be permanently damaged
if it is charged too quickly before it is fully expanded.
c. If the precharge is already above 100 psi
(690 kPa), open the regulator and charge the
accumulator to 1400 psi (9653 kPa).
L05026
NOTE: When charging the accumulators, allow

adequate time for the system to fully charge and for
the nitrogen gas temperature to stabilize (10-15
minutes).
6. Shut off charging kit and check pressure gauge
reading. If gauge does not maintain 1400 psi
(9.8 MPa) continue charging procedure until
pressure is stabilized.
10. Operate truck and check steering for normal

operation.

STEERING CIRCUIT FILTER

The brake and steering circuit filter (Figure 5-21) is
located on the right, inside frame rail, behind the fuel
tank. The filter provides secondary filtering protection
for hydraulic oil flowing to the bleeddown manifold
valve for the steering and brake systems.
An indicator switch (1) is designed to alert the operator of filter restriction before actual bypass occurs.
The switch contacts close at 35 psid (241 kPa) to
actuate a warning lamp on the overhead display
panel. Actual filter bypass occurs at 50 psi (345 kPa).
NOTE: When the engine is initially started and the
hydraulic oil is cold, the warning lamp may actuate.
Allow the hydraulic system oil to reach operating
temperature before using the warning lamp as an
indicator to change the element.
Refer to Section P, Lubrication and Service for recommended normal filter element replacement interval. Earlier replacement may be required if the
restriction indicator lamp turns on.
Premature filter restriction may indicate a system
component failure and signal a service requirement
before extensive secondary damage can occur.
NOTE: An early indication of the filter warning light at
first installation may be due to restriction in the filter
as it cleans the system. Unless the fluid appears
contaminated or has a strong foul odor, do not
change the oil; replace only the filter element.

other abrasive particles which could damage the
unit are in the air. Do not work near welding,
sand-blasting, grinding benches and the like.
Place all parts on a CLEAN surface. To clean
parts which have been disassembled, it is important CLEAN solvents are used. All tools and
gauges should be clean prior to working with
these units and new, CLEAN and threadless rags
used to handle and dry parts.
1. Drain off excess hydraulic oil from pump inlet

and discharge ports. It may be necessary to
loosen the four valve plate capscrews (20, Figure 5-25) pull back on valve plate to allow fluid
to seep out of the case.
2. Thoroughly clean and dry the outside surface of
the pump housing.
NOTE: Depending upon what part or parts are to be
inspected, it may not be necessary to completely
take apart all assemblies.
Control Piston Group

3. Remove the two large plugs (23, Figure 5-23)
with O-rings (15) from both sides of pump.
4. Back out four capscrews (3, Figure 5-25), then
remove cap (24). Remove bias control spring
(1, Figure 5-24).
5. Control piston (11, Figure 5-24) must be in the
neutral position. Control link pin (16) should be
centered in the plug opening. If pin is not centered, pry control piston to position link pin for
access through hole.
6. Using appropriate snap ring pliers, remove
retaining rings (14, Figure 5-24) from both sides
of the pin and remove control link washers (15).
7. For handling purposes, insert a 1/4"-20UNC
capscrew into the threaded end of the control
link pin (16).

11. Remove valve plate (17) from pump housing (20,
Figure 5-23) by tapping away from the housing
with a mallet until valve plate pilot diameter disengages from the case 0.25 in (6.35 mm).
12. With the weight of the valve plate still suspended
from the overhead crane, slide valve plate back
until it disengages from driveshaft and set valve
plate aside. Care must be taken not to damage
the wear face of valve plate (17).
13. To further disassemble control piston assembly,
move control piston (11, Figure 5-24) into
sleeve (4) until control piston maximum stop pin
(8) contacts the sleeve. Use a large mallet to
drive piston and sleeve assembly outward from
the valve plate.

HOIST CIRCUIT
HOIST CIRCUIT OPERATION
The following hoist circuit operation description
describes the basic hoist circuit. Details of individual
component operation is outlined under the individual
component descriptions.
Hydraulic fluid is supplied by a tank (10, Figure 7-1)
located on the left frame rail. Hydraulic oil is routed
to a tandem gear type pump (9), driven by a driveshaft on the traction alternator.
Pump output is directed to two, high pressure filters
(5 & 7) mounted on the side of the fuel tank.
Hydraulic oil from the filters is directed to the hoist
valve (2), mounted on a modular assembly containing the hoist pump, steering/brake pump, hoist valve
and counterbalance valve manifold.
The hoist valve directs oil to the body hoist cylinders

(1) for raising and lowering the dump body. Hoist
valve functions are controlled by the operator
through a flexible cable to the hoist pilot valve (6) in
the hydraulic component cabinet located behind the
operator's cab. Also in the hydraulic cabinet is the
hoist-up limit solenoid (4). The hoist-up limit solenoid prevents the hoist cylinders from extending to
maximum physical limit. A counterbalance valve in
the overcenter manifold (12) prevents abrupt cylinder extension due to material buildup on the tail of
the body.
Quick disconnect fittings (11) allow the use of
another trucks hydraulic system to dump a load in
the body if the hoist pump, hoist valve or related
components are inoperable.

HIGH PRESSURE FILTERS
HYDRAULIC TANK
Hoist pump output flows to two remote mounted

high pressure filters located on the lower inboard
side of the fuel tank. The filter elements are rated at
7 micron. The filter assembly is equipped with a
bypass valve which permits oil flow if the filter element become plugged. Flow restriction through the
filter element is sensed by a pressure differential
switch.
The hydraulic tank supplies hydraulic oil for the

hoist, steering, and brake circuits. The tank is
located on the left hand frame rail forward of the
rear wheels. The service capacity is 238 gal. (901 l).
Refer to Section P for the correct type hydraulic oil
recommended for use in the hydraulic system.
Oil used in the hoist circuit flows through two 100
mesh wire suction strainers to the inlet housing of
the hoist pump. Air drawn into the tank during operation is filtered by dual air filters located on the top
of the tank. Oil level can be checked visually at sight
glasses located on the face of the tank. Oil level
should be checked periodically and be visible in the
bottom sight glass when the body is down and the
engine is running.
HOIST PUMP
The hoist pump is a tandem gear type pump driven
by an accessory drive at the rear of the traction
alternator. The pump has a total output of 240 GPM
at 1900 RPM. The hoist pump also drives the steering and brake supply pump located at the rear of the
hoist pump. Hoist pump output is directed to two
remote mounted high pressure filters. Maximum
hoist pump output pressure is 2500 psi (17.2 MPa).
This switch will turn on an overhead panel mounted, yellow

warning light to indicate filter
service is required. The light is
labeled Filter Monitor and will
come on when restriction
reaches approximately 35 psi
(241 kPa). Actual filter bypass
will result when the filter element
restriction
reaches
approximately 50 psi (345 kPa).

HOIST VALVE
The hoist valve (Figure 7-3) is mounted above the
hoist and steering pump. Hydraulic oil from the high
pressure filters is routed to the hoist valve. The hoist
valve is a split spool design. (The term split spool
describes the spool section of the valve.)
Separate spools control oil flow to each end of the
cylinders. The valve consists of two identical inlet
sections, a spool section, and a separator plate.
The hoist valve precisely follows differential pressure
input signals generated by the hoist pilot valve.
(Refer to Figures 7-6 through 7-10.)
The inlet sections of the hoist valve consist of the following components:
Flow control and main relief valve (system relief).
Low pressure relief valve.
Load check poppet.
Anti-void poppet.
The flow control portion of the flow control and main
relief valve allows pump flow to return directly to tank
through the inlet section with low pressure loss. The
relief portion of the valve is direct acting and has the
capacity to limit the working pressure at full pump
flow.
The low pressure relief is located between the low
pressure core and the outlet, and provides a controlled back pressure in the low pressure core when
oil is returning to tank.
The load check allows free flow from the inlet to the
high pressure core and prevents flow from the high
pressure core to the inlet.
The anti-void check valve allows free flow from the
low pressure core to the high pressure core and prevents flow from the high pressure core to the low
pressure core.
The spool section of the hoist valve consists of the
following components:
Two pilot ports
Two main spools
Two work ports
Check poppets
The pilot ports are located in the top spool section
cover. These ports provide connections for pilot lines
from the hoist pilot valve. Each pilot port has a corresponding work port.

The work ports provide for line connections between

the spool section and the hoist cylinders. One main
spool for each work port is spring centered at both
ends to close the work port from the high and low
pressure cores when there is no flow to the pilot
ports.
When there is flow through a pilot port to a spool, a
positive differential pressure at the top of the spool
will overcome the bottom spring bias causing the
spool to shift to connect the high pressure core to the
work port. When there is flow from the main valve
work port to the pilot port through the cross-holes, a
positive differential pressure at the bottom of the
spool will overcome the top spring bias and the spool
will shift to connect the work port to the low pressure
core.
The check poppets located in the main spools permit
free flow from the work port to the pilot port and
restrict flow from the pilot port to the work port. These
check poppets control spool response and spool
movements.

HOIST PILOT VALVE

The hoist pilot valve (1, Figure 7-4) is located in the
hydraulic component cabinet directly behind the
operators cab. The hoist pilot valve spool is spring
centered to the hold position. The valve is controlled
directly by the operator through a lever and cable
arrangement. The control lever is located between
the operator and center console. When the operator
moves the lever, the pilot valve spool moves and
directs pilot flow to the appropriate pilot port on the
hoist valve causing the main spools to direct working
pump flow to the hoist cylinders.
The hoist pilot valve is equipped with a one way load
check valve which allows free flow from the center
passage to bridge core and prevents reverse flow.
The hoist pilot valve is also equipped with a power
down relief valve (8). The power down relief valve is
located between the power down control port and
return galley. The power down relief valve limits
power down pressure at 1500 psi (10.5 MPa).
FIGURE 7-4. HOIST PILOT VALVE
HOIST-UP LIMIT SOLENOID

The Hoist-up Limit Solenoid (2, Figure 7-4) is used in
the hydraulic circuit to prevent maximum hoist cylinder extension.
This solenoid valve is normally open between the
hoist pilot valve raise port and the hoist valve raise
pilot port. The return-to-tank port is normally closed.
The solenoid is controlled by the proximity switch
(hoist limit switch) located inside the rear frame rail
near the body pivot and above the right rear suspension. When the solenoid is signaled by the proximity
switch, the raise pilot port on the hoist valve is
closed. The hoist pilot valve raise port is opened to
return to tank.
PILOT OPERATED CHECK VALVE
The Pilot Operated Check Valve (7, Figure 7-4) is
opened by power down pilot pressure to allow oil in
the raise port to bypass the hoist up limit solenoid for
initial power down operation while the solenoid is
activated by the hoist limit switch.

COUNTERBALANCE VALVE MANIFOLD

The counterbalance valve manifold (12, Figure 7-2)
is mounted at the rear of the pump/hoist valve module. The counterbalance valve (13) controls the pressure (like a relief valve) of the oil in the annulus area
of the hoist cylinders when the body approaches the
maximum dump angle. The valve restricts the maximum pressure build-up by relieving pressure in
excess of 3000 psi (20.7 MPa), preventing possible
seal damage. Also see Figure 7-5 for a schematic
view of the counterbalance valve.
There are 2 pilot pressures that can open it (cylinder
head raise pressure & rod return pressure. If there is
no raise pressure, it will take 3000 psi of rod end
return pressure to open it. If there is theoretically 666
psi or more of raise pressure, it is wide open for the
return oil. In between these 2 maximums the ratio of
raise:return pressure is 1:4.5 to open the return flow
Quick disconnect fittings (14) installed on the manifold allow service personnel to dump a load in the
truck body if the engine, hoist pump, or other hoist
circuit component is inoperable, by connecting hoses
to the quick disconnects of an operable truck.

Oil from the hoist pumps enters each inlet section of
the Hoist Valve in Port 11, passes through check
valve 18, and stops at the closed High Pressure Passage 19 at the two main spools. Pressure builds to
approximately 60 psi (414 kPa) on the pilot of the
Flow Control Valve 2 causing the valve to compress
the spring and open, allowing the oil to return to the
tank through Hoist Valve Port 10. Oil also flows out
Hoist Valve Port 12 to Port 12 on the Pilot Valve,
through the Hoist Pilot Valve spool, and out Pilot
Valve Port 10 to the tank. This oil flow is limited by
orifices in the inlet sections of the Hoist Valve and
therefore has no pressure buildup.

POWER UP OPERATION (Figure 7-7)

The Hoist Pilot Valve spool is moved to the Power Up
position when the operator moves the lever in the
cab. The pilot supply oil coming in Port 12 is prevented from returning to the tank and, instead, is
directed out Port 14 through hoist limit solenoid 13
and into Port 14 of the Hoist Valve. There it goes to
the top of the Head End Spool 8, builds pressure on
the end of the spool, causes the spool to move down
compressing the bottom spring, and connects the
High Pressure Passage 19 to Head End Port 9.
Working oil flow in the High Pressure Passage is now
allowed to flow through the spool and out Port 9 to
extend the hoist cylinders. Even though a small
amount of oil flows through the check poppet in the
top of Spool 8, raise pilot pressure at Ports 14
increases to slightly higher pressure than the
required hoist cylinder pressure. As a result, the pilot
supply pressure in Ports 12 also increases causing
back pressure to occur in the spring area of Flow
Control Valve 2. This overcomes the pilot pressure
on the other end of the Flow Control Valve causing it
to close and direct the incoming pump oil through
Head End Spool 8 to the hoist cylinders to extend
them.
If at any time the resistance to the flow of the pump
oil coming into the inlet section causes the pressure
to increase to 2500 psi (17.2 MPa), the pilot pressure
against Hoist Relief Valve 1 causes it to open and
allow flow to exit out Port 10 and return to the tank.
As the hoist cylinders extend, oil in the annulus area
of the second and third stages must exit from the cylinders. Initially, the Rod End Spool 7 ports are
closed. As the returning oil entering Port 5 builds low
pressure, it flows through the check-poppet in the top
of the spool, through Port 15, through the Pilot Valve
spool, and out Port 10 of the Pilot Valve to the tank.
No pressure is present on the top of Spool 7. Cylinder return pressure passes through the check-poppet
in the bottom of Spool 7 to build pressure under the
spool which moves the spool upward compressing
the top spring. This movement allows the returning
cylinder oil to flow into the Low Pressure Passage 20
to the Low Pressure Relief Valve 3. Approximately 75
psi (517 kPa) causes this valve to open, allowing the
oil to flow out Port 10 to the tank.
If the pressure exceeds 3000 psi (20.7 MPa) at port

23, the counterbalance valve will open again to direct
oil back to the hoist valve, preventing damage to the
hoist cylinder seals from excessive pressure.
When the operator releases the lever, the valves
change to the HOLD position. If the body raises to
the position that activates the hoist limit switch
located above the right rear suspension before the
operator releases the lever, the Hoist Limit Solenoid
13 is energized. The solenoid valve closes the raise
pilot Port 14 on the hoist and releases the Hoist Pilot
Valve raise pilot pressure at Port 24 to tank, allowing
the Head End Spool 8 to center and shut off supply
of oil to the hoist cylinders. This prevents maximum
extension of the hoist cylinders.

The counterbalance valve 4 will open as the body is

raised and close as the operator releases the hoist
lever and the raise pressure at port 22 decreases. If
the load were to stick near the tail of the body and the
body is overcenter, pressure in the annulus area of
the hoist cylinders will increase.

The Pilot Valve spool is positioned to allow the pilot

supply oil entering Port 12 to return to the tank

then decreases to no pressure allowing Flow Control
Valve 2 to open and return the incoming pump oil to
the tank through Port 10. Both pilot Ports 14 & 15 in
the Pilot Valve are closed by the Pilot Valve spool. In
this condition pressure is equalized on each end of
each main spool allowing the springs to center the
spools and close all ports to trap the oil in the cylinders and hold the body in its current position.

FIGURE 7-9. HOIST CIRCUIT: POWER DOWN

POSITION
POWER DOWN OPERATION (Figure 7-9)

When the operator moves the lever to lower the
body, the Hoist Pilot Valve is positioned to direct the
pilot supply oil in Ports 12 to Port 15 on the Hoist
Valve to the top of the Rod End Spool 7. Pilot pressure increases to move the spool down compressing
the bottom spring. Movement of the spool connects
the High Pressure Passage 19 to the rod end (annulus area) of the hoist cylinders. At the same time, the
Flow Control Valve 2 is forced to close as pilot pressure increases thus directing the incoming pump oil
to the hoist cylinders through Spool 7 and the overcenter manifold check valve 25 rather than back to
the tank.
If the body is at the maximum up position, the hoist
limit switch has the hoist limit solenoid activated,
closing the raise port 14 on the hoist valve. Power
down pilot pressure in Ports 15 pushes open the pilot
operated check valve 21 so the pilot pressure in
Ports 14 is open to tank through the Pilot Valve
spool. As oil attempts to return from the head end of
the hoist cylinders, it initially encounters the closed
Head End Spool 8. Pressure increases on the bottom
end of the spool causing it to move upward. This
allows the returning oil to go into the Low Pressure
Passage 20, build up 75 psi (517 kPa) to open the
Low Pressure Relief 3, and exit the Hoist Valve
through Port 10 to the tank. As the body descends
and the hoist limit solenoid is no longer activated, the
pilot operated check valve is no longer necessary.

FIGURE 7-10. HOIST CIRCUIT: FLOAT

POSITION
FLOAT OPERATION (Figure 7-10)

When the operator releases the lever as the body
travels down, The Hoist Pilot Valve spool returns to
the FLOAT position. In this position all ports (10, 12,
14, & 15) and the Power Down Pilot Line Solenoid
Valve are common with each other. Therefore; the
pilot supply oil is returning to tank with no pressure
buildup thus allowing the Flow Control Valve 2 to
remain open to allow the pump oil to return to the
tank through Hoist Valve Port 10. With no blockage of
either Raise or Down Pilot Ports 14 & 15 in the Pilot
Valve, there is no pressure on the top of either main
spool. The oil returning from the Head End of the
hoist cylinders builds pressure on the bottom of the
Head End Spool 8 exactly like in Power Down allowing the returning oil to transfer to the Low Pressure
Passage 20. The back pressure in the Low Pressure
Passage created by the Low Pressure Relief Valve 3
causes pressure under the Rod End Spool 7 to move
the spool upward. This connects the Low Pressure
Passage to the Rod End of the hoist cylinders. The
75 psi (517 kPa) in the Low Pressure Passage
causes oil to flow to the rod end of the cylinders to
keep them full of oil as they retract. When the body
reaches the frame and there is no more oil flow from
the cylinders, the Main Spools center themselves
and close the cylinder ports and the High and Low
Pressure Passages.

Installation of Check Balls and Plugs in Quill

The check balls (4, Figure 8-20) in the side of the
quill assembly (2) are held in place with threaded
plugs (3).
If a plug is missing and the check ball is not found in
the cylinder, the opposite side hoist cylinder and the
plumbing leading to the hoist valve should be examined for damage. The hoist valve itself should also
be checked to see if the ball or plug has caused
internal damage to the spool. Peening of the necked
down sections of the spool may result. Spool sticking may also occur under these circumstances.
Refer to Figure 8-21 for SS1158 tool that can be
made for installing or removing the check ball plugs.
Plugs should be checked during any cylinder repair
to be sure they are tight. If found to have any movement, they should be removed and the ball seat in
the quill checked to see if it is deformed.
If deformation of the ball seat has occurred, the
quill should be replaced.
If the ball seat area is not deformed, measure
the plug thickness as shown in Figure 8-20:
Older Plug is 0.25 0.02 in. thick.
Newer plug is 0.38 0.02 in. thick.
1. Use the newer plugs and make certain threads

in quill tube and on plugs are clean and dry
(free of oil and solvent).

COUNTERBALANCE MANIFOLD
The counterbalance manifold is located to the rear of
the hoist valve. The internal counterbalance valve
relieves excessive pressure that can develop in the
annulus area of the hoist cylinders if the load sticks to
the tail of the body as the body goes overcenter while
dumping.
Figures 8-23 through 8-25 show the proper placement of the O-rings and backup-rings on the needle
valve, counterbalance valve and the cavity plug.
For information on how the counterbalance valve
functions, see Hoist Circuit Operation, this section.
For adjusting of the counterbalance valve, refer to

DISABLED TRUCK DUMPING

PROCEDURE
Sometimes it is necessary to dump a load from the
body of a truck when the hoist system is inoperable.
The following instructions describe the use of a
good truck to provide the hydraulic power required
to raise the body of the disabled truck to dump the
load.
In the example below, Figure 8-23 illustrates a typical
hookup from the good truck. The disabled truck may
be another Model 830E, or a different Komatsu
model.
HOOKUP
Be certain there is an adequate, clear area to dump
the loaded box. When the good truck is in position,
shut down the engine and allow the hydraulic system
to bleed down. Be certain pressure has bled off
before connecting hoses.
1. With the good truck parked as close as possible
to the disabled truck, attach a hose from the
power up quick disconnect (3, Figure 8-23) to
the power down circuit of the disabled truck.
(Hose must be rated to withstand 2500 psi (17
MPa) or greater pressure.
NOTE: The power down circuit will use a smaller
diameter hose (tube) than the power up circuit.
2. Connect another hose from the power down
quick disconnect (4) to the power up circuit of
the disabled truck.
NOTE: If both trucks are a Model 830E, the hoses
will be installed at the quick disconnects shown in
Figure 8-23 and will be crossed when connected.
DUMPING PROCEDURE
Raising the Body:
3. On the disabled truck, move the hoist control
lever to power up and then release it to place
the hoist pilot valve in the HOLD position (leave
in this position during entire procedure).
4. Start the engine on the good truck, place the
hoist control in the power down position and
increase engine RPM to high idle to dump the
disabled truck. If the body of the disabled truck
fails to raise, increase the good truck power
down relief pressure as follows:

relief valve (2, Figure 8-13) located in the
hydraulics components cabinet behind the
cab. While counting the number of turns,
slowly screw the relief valve adjustment
screw clockwise until it bottoms.
5. Repeat step 4 to dump the disabled truck.
Lowering the Body:
6. Place the hoist lever of the good truck in FLOAT
to lower the body. If necessary, momentarily
place the hoist control in POWER UP until the
body is able to descend in FLOAT. Do not accelerate the engine.
7. After body is lowered, shut down the truck, bleed
the hydraulic system and disconnect the hoses.
8. Reduce power down relief valve pressure to normal on good truck by turning the adjustment
counterclockwise the same number of turns as
required in step 4 b.
9. Check power down relief pressure using instructions in Section L10.
10. Check hydraulic tank oil level.
a. Shut down engine and allow the hydraulic

system to bleed down.

NOTE: Allow adequate time for the accumulator to

fully charge after start up.
5. Start engine and run at low idle. The steering
pump with unloader valve is preset to unload
the pump at 3500 to 3550 psi (24 133 to 24 477
kPa), and reload accumulators when their pressure falls to 3200 50 psi (2,2064 345 kPa). If
necessary to adjust pump pressure:
a. Install calibrated pressure gage capable of
5000 psi (35 000 kPa) at base of either
steering accumulator in the SAE #4 port or
on a tee placed in the port marked ACC on
the unloader valve block on the pump.
Leakage Check
To check for worn piston pump, measurement of the
leakage can be made from the case drain while the
pump is under pressure.
1. Disconnect steering pump drain line from the
hydraulic tank and securely plug port in hydraulic tank with a steel cap.
2. Connect a flow meter to the pump drain line or
have the drain line directed into a large container or reservoir. The pump case must remain
full of oil during this test.
b. Bottom out the unloader valve adjustment

screw (11, Figure 10-1).
3. Connect a calibrated 5000 psi (35,000 kPa)

pressure gauge to diagnostic receptacle located
on the junction block from the outlet hose from
the steering pump.
c. Back out the pressure compensator adjustment screw (8).
4. Start engine and warm hydraulic oil to operating

temperature of 110F (43C).
d. Fully open all shut-off valves.
5. With engine at 1800 rpm and accumulator completely full, verify steering pressure is 3200 psi
(22,064 kPa) on pressure gauge. Adjust
unloader valve pressure if necessary.
e. Start truck and adjust pressure compensator

until 3800 psi is read and maintained on
gauge at steering pump GPA test port (5).
Tighten jam nut (7).
f. Shut down the engine and allow sufficient
time for the accumulators to bleed down
g. Back out unloader valve adjustment screw
(11) completely.
h. Start truck and allow pump to unload:
Pressure gauge at steering pump GPA test
port will read about 200 to 400 psi (1 379 to 2
758 kPa) when the pump is unloaded.
6. Read the flow meter or time the case drain flow

used to fill a known size container and calculate
the flow rate in terms of cubic inches per minute
(in.3/min.).
7. The leakage should not exceed 177 oz. per min.
(5.25 Liters per minute) at 3200 psi (22,064
kPa) system pressure. Additional leakage indicates wear, but does not become critical until it
impairs performance.
i. Adjust unloader valve:

Adjust to reload pump when pressure drops
to 3200 50 psi (2,2064 345 kPa).
j. Steer to cause accumulator pressure to
decrease enough so accumulators are
reloaded to verify unloader valve setting:
The pressure gauge in the port marked ACC
should read 3200 50 psi (2,2064 345 kPa).
Tighten jam nut.
Note: The critical pressure adjustment is the
unloader valve reload pressure. The pressure at
which it unloads is not adjustable separately but will
follow the reload pressure adjustment.

Be sure accumulator oil pressure has been bled
down. Turn steering wheel; the wheels should
not move if oil pressure has been relieved.
1. Shut down engine, turn keyswitch Off and
allow accumulator to completely bleed down
before opening circuits to take measurements,
to make repairs, or to install or remove gauges.
2. Install a calibrated 5000 psi (35,000 kPa) gauge
on one of the two diagnostic ports located on
the steering cylinder manifold located just below
the engine.
3. Prior to checking the shock & suction valves in
the flow amplifier, raise the steering relief pressure.
a. Remove steering relief valve external plug
using an 8 mm metric allen wrench. Refer to
Figure 10-3.
b. Gently bottom out the steering relief valve
using a 5 mm metric allen wrench. Refer to
Figure 10-3 for relief valve location.

4. Check flow amplifier shock & suction valve pressure. Pressure check can be accomplished by
steering away from steering cylinder stops, then
steering into stop and continue to turn steering
wheel. Gauge should read 2900 psi (19,996
kPa). Move the gauge connection to the other
diagnostic port to test the pressure of the other
valve. If shock & suction valve pressure is not
correct, replace valves.
NOTE: The shock & suction valves are only serviced
as complete units, and cannot be adjusted while
installed in the flow amplifier valve.
5. After checking shock & suction valves, lower the
steering relief pressure to 2500 psi (17,237
kPa). Steering relief pressure can be adjusted
by steering full left or right and adjusting steering pressure at the flow amplifier while holding
slight pressure on the steering wheel. Replace
the external steering relief valve plug.
6. Remove test equipment and reconnect all lines
and hoses to the proper location.

before performing leakage tests.
Steering Control Unit & Flow Amplifier
1. Shut down engine and turn keyswitch Off. Wait
90 seconds for steering accumulator to bleed
down. Turn steering wheel to be sure no pressure remains.
2. To check combined leakage from the steering
unit and the flow amplifier, disconnect flow
amplifier return hose from bleed down manifold.
Cap fitting on manifold and start engine. Maximum allowable combined leakage is 60 in.3
(984 ml.) per minute from steering return hose.
If leakage is excessive, perform next two steps.
a. Remove steering control unit tank (return)
line at the flow amplifier (T port). For location of the tank line (T port), refer to Figure
10-2. Plug the tank port opening on flow
amplifier.
b. Remove the flow amplifier return hose at the
HT port on the flow amplifier. Refer to Figure 10-2. Plug the return hose.
Hydraulic tank oil level is above the level of this

return line. It is necessary to draw a vacuum on
the hydraulic tank to prevent a large amount of
oil from draining out of the tank with the return
line disconnected from the bleeddown manifold.
4. Draw a vacuum on the hydraulic tank to prevent
oil loss. Disconnect return line to tank from
bleeddown manifold (11, Figure 10-4). Connect
the hoist pilot valve return line (15) and the
return line to tank (11) together.
5. Remove vacuum on the hydraulic tank. Start
engine. Allow accumulator to fill up. Measure
leakage from the return hose fitting in the bleeddown manifold. Maximum allowable leakage
from the bleeddown manifold is 33.0 in.3 (541
ml) per minute. If leakage is excessive, the following components should be replaced until the
leakage is within the allowable limits:
Bleeddown Solenoid
System Relief Valve (4000 psi)
Piloted Check Valve
6. After test is complete, shut down the engine with
the Shut Down switch on the console next to the
seat. Do not use the keyswitch to shut down
the engine.
c. Start engine and run at low idle.

d. Measure leakage from steering control unit
tank line. Leakage not to exceed 10 in.3 (164
ml) per minute. If leakage is excessive,
replace steering control unit.
e. Measure leakage from the flow amplifier at
the HT port. Maximum allowable leakage is
50 in.3 (820 ml) per minute. If leakage is
excessive, replace flow amplifier.
f. Shut down engine, turn keyswitch Off and
wait 90 seconds for the steering accumulator
to bleed down.
g. Remove test equipment and reconnect all
hoses to their proper location.
L10-4
If keyswitch is used, all the oil in the accumulator

will come out the port that was used to check
manifold leakage.
7. Before removing plugs on bleeddown manifold
or disconnecting lines that have been connected, be sure to draw a vacuum on the
hydraulic tank to prevent spillage. Remove test
equipment and reconnect all hoses to their
proper location.
8. Turn key switch to the OFF position to allow
steering accumulators to bleed down.

CHECKING HOIST SYSTEM PRESSURES

NOTE: If relief valve or hoist valve assembly has
been replaced or rebuilt, hoist relief valve pressure
should be checked.

applying pressure.
Hoist System Relief Pressure Adjustment
1. Install two 0-5000 psi (0-35,000 kPa) pressure
gauges (one to each diagnostic coupler located
at each outlet port on the hoist pump).
2. Start engine and run at low idle.
Pressure at both hoist pumps should be
approximately 75 psi (517 kPa) or less with oil
temperature at 70F (29C).
3. To allow full extension of the hoist cylinders, disconnect the hoist up limit solenoid from the wiring harness located in the hydraulic cabinet
behind the operators cab.
NOTE: Each hoist pump section supplies oil to a

separate inlet section on the hoist valve. Each inlet
section on the hoist valve contains a power up relief
valve. If the either relief pressure is not within
specifications, adjust or replace the respective relief
valve.
5. If power up relief pressure is not correct, adjust
pressure as follows:
a. Move hoist control lever to the power down
position and allow body to completely rest on
frame rails. Shut down engine.
b. Relieve all hydraulic pressure from hoist system.
NOTE: One relief valve is located under each inlet
valve cover.
c. Remove small external tube and capscrews
(1, Figure 10-6) from inlet section cover (2)
where the relief valve needs serviced.
Remove cover from hoist valve and spring
(3) from relief valve.
d. Loosen jam nut on relief valve (4) and turn
screw in (clockwise) to increase pressure or
out (counter-clockwise) to decrease pressure.
NOTE: Each 1/4 turn of the adjustment screw will
cause approximately 150 psi (1,034 kPa) change in
pressure.
e. Install spring (3) and cover (2) with new Orings (8). Install and tighten capscrews (1).
f. Check pressure again (Steps 2 - 4).
Be sure there is adequate (safe) overhead clearance before raising body to full up position.
4. With engine at low-idle, place hoist lever in

power up position and hold until body is in the
full raised position.
Pressure at both hoist pumps should be 2500
100 psi (17,237 690 kPa).

Power Down Relief Pressure Adjustment

1. Install a 0-3500 psi (0-25,000 kPa) pressure
gauge at the power down test port TPD (3,
Figure 10-9) on the counterbalance manifold
(2).
2. With engine at low idle, allow the steering accumulator to fill and the pump to unload. With the
body resting on the frame, place the hoist lever
in the POWER DOWN position and then read
pressure at TPD test port gauge:
Pressure should be 1500 75 psi (10,342
517 kPa).
3. If power down relief pressure is not within specifications, remove cap and adjust relief valve (2,
Figure 10-7) on hoist pilot valve (1).
To increase power down relief pressure, turn
adjusting screw in (clockwise).
To decrease power down relief pressure, turn
adjusting screw out (counter-clockwise).
NOTE: The power down relief valve is located on the
pilot control valve in the hydraulic components
cabinet located behind the cab.
4. When pressure is within specifications, shut
down engine and move hoist control lever to the
float position to allow body to completely rest
on frame rails and allow accumulator to bleed
down completely.
5. Remove pressure gauge.

Hoist Counterbalance Valve Adjustment

Preparation:
Note: The ports and valves referred to in the
following procedures are labelled on the
counterbalance manifold valve body.
1. With the engine shut down, the body resting on
the frame, the hoist valve in the FLOAT position
and hydraulic system pressure bled down,
loosen locknut on adjustment stem of needle
valve (9, Figure 10-9) on counterbalance manifold (2). Turn adjustment stem fully clockwise.
2. Remove fitting from PILOT VENT port (8) on
counterbalance manifold. This port will remain
open to atmosphere during adjustment; do not
allow dirt to enter open port.
Counterbalance Valve Pressure Check Only:

1. Start the engine. At low idle, raise the body and
as it extends to the third stage, read the pressure on the gauge connected to the TR port.
(All counterbalance valve pressures are read/
adjusted while hoist cylinders are in third
stage.)
a. If pressure is 3000 psi (20.7 MPa) or above,
stop hoisting immediately.
Pressure is adjusted too high and must be
lowered. Go to Counterbalance Valve
Adjustment and perform adjustment procedure.
b. If pressure is below 3000 psi (20.7 MPa),
increase engine speed by approximately 300
rpm and observe pressure on gauge.
Note: It is suggested a clean SAE #4 (1/4") hydraulic

hose is installed in the open port and the hose
pointed downward.
3. Install a 5000 psi (35,000 kPa) gauge at test port
TR (7) on counterbalance manifold. (Gauge
will measure rod end pressure; the pressure
controlled by the counterbalance valve.)

FIRE CONTROL SYSTEM (MANUAL)

The fire control system aids in protecting the machine
in the event of a fire. The system consists of:
Actuators
fluidized chemical to flow to the nozzles. The nozzles

will direct the agent at the fire and extinguish the flames.
Operation
Pneumatic Actuator/Cartridge Receivers
To actuate the fire control system, pull the safety ring

on either of the actuators and depress the lever. One
actuator is located in the cab near the operator. Another actuator is located on the left fender structure
near the bumper.
Pressure Relief Valve

Check Valves
Dry Chemical Tanks
Hoses And Nozzles.
When either actuator is depressed, a nitrogen cartridge
will pressurize the dry chemical tank. Once the dry
chemical tank has pressurized to a sufficient pressure,
a bursting disc in the tank outlet will break, allowing the
NOTE: Operating either actuator will activate fire control system.
Inspection and Maintenance

It is imperative that the fire control system is inspected
at least every six months. To insure that it will operate
effectively:
1. Check the system for general appearance, mechanical damage and corrosion.
2. Inspect each chemical tank fill cap gasket for
damage and replace if necessary. Examine cap
for nicks, burrs, cross threading or rough edges.
3. Check the level of dry chemical. The level should
not be less than three inches (76 mm) from bottom
of fill opening. Dry chemical must be free flowing,
with no caking.
4. Insure that the vent in the fill opening threads is not
obstructed.
5. Remove the cartridge from the extinguisher and
examine the disc-seal. Replace seal if necessary.
Install cartridge hand tight.

ALTERNATOR AND WHEELMOTOR COOLING AIR FILTER SYSTEM

The cooling air for the alternator and wheelmotors
passes through a filter assembly prior to entering the
blower on rear of alternator. The filter housing is
mounted on the inlet of the air duct. The dirt removed
by the filter is drawn off each end of the filter housing
by a hydraulic motor driven blower and discharged to
atmosphere.
The hydraulic circuit for the evacuation fan consists of
the following:
There is no directional control valve in this circuit

to divert flow to tank. if gauge reading increases
rapidly, immediately shutdown engine.
Main Hydraulic Reservoir

Engine Driven Pump
Remote Mounted Relief Valve
Hydraulic Motor
Supply and Return Piping
The pump is located at left rear of the engine. The relief
valve and fan motor are mounted on deck near the
control cabinet.
Oil from reservoir flows to inlet side of a gear type
pump. The outlet from the pump flows to a gear type
motor and direct acting relief valve. Oil flows through
the motor and returns to the main reservoir. The flow
is blocked at the remote mounted relief valve.

(14).
M04002 12/89
M4-5
a. To remove the dowels, use a rod or punch and

hammer to drive them out. Place driver inside
of dowel and against end of dowel on opposite
side and tap out.
12. Repeat steps 6 and 7 for remaining seals.
13. Slide a punch of appropriate size through the
bearing and against the metal casing of the seal
(3, Figure 4-4). Hold the punch away from the
bearings and drive the seal out without damaging
seal bore or bearing. Move the punch around the
seal as it is driven out. Do not allow the punch to
rest against the seal bore or bearing while driving
the seal out.
14. Check the seal bore for scratches. If scratches are
apparent, us a four hundred grit sandpaper to
clean up the bore. Do not use coarse grit sandpaper. It will cut heavy grooves in the bore and will
allow the seal to leak around the O.D.
15. Wash all motor parts in clean solvent and wipe
dry with clean shop towel or blow dry with shop
air.
Inspection Of Parts
Visually inspect all parts. After a visual inspection those
parts which are in questionable condition should be
replaced with new ones.
1. Examine the bores in the gear plate.
a. If any grooves are cut deeper than .015" (.38
mm) or the plate is cracked or damaged in
some other way, it should be rejected.
2. Examine the gears.
a. If excessive wear is visible on the journals,
sides, or faces of the gears, or at the point
where the drive gear shaft rotates in the lip seal,
reject them. If keyway is excessively worn, replace the drive gear.
3. Examine the pressure plates.
a. They should not show excessive wear on the
bronze side. If deep curved wear marks are
visible, replace the plate with a new one.
4. Shaft seals should be replaced. All O-ring seals and
back-up rings or strips should be replaced with
new.
5. Bearing I.D.s should have a gray coating.
a. If bronze can be seen shining through the teflon
on the inlet side, the bearings and plate they are
in, should be replaced.
M4-6
Assembly
1. Using an arbor press, press the new seal (3, Figure
4-4) into flange bore.
a. Center the seal over the seal bore with metal
face of the seal facing out.
b. Make sure the seal is started and pressed
straight into the bore.
c. Place a socket wrench (having an O.D. just
slightly smaller than seal bore) against seal.
d. Press against socket and press seal in until seal
has just cleared snap ring groove in seal bore.
3. Apply two or three drops of # 290 Locite against
seal bore and O.D. of seal.
a. Hold the flange at a 45 degree angle and rotate
it slowly to allow the locite to flow all the way
around the O.D. of the seal.
4. Install the snap ring and wipe the excess Locite out
of seal bore and seal lip.
5. Install O-ring (1, Figure 4-5) in cover plate (5). After
O-ring has been placed in groove, spread a light
coat of grease on the O-ring to hold it in place.
6. If for any reason, gear plate (3, Figure 4-6) had to
be replaced, dowels (4) must be pressed into both
sides of replacement gear plate before assembling it to cover plate. Dowels can be tapped in
with hammer, but it is best to use a dowel guide
and press. Whichever method is used, make sure
they are straight in dowel bores. If press is used,
do not apply rapid force on dowels. If a hammer
is used, do not drive the dowels in aggressively.
Tap them lightly until they are against the shoulder.
7. With matching marks made in step 2 toward you,
and the four cast recesses in the outer edge of
gear plate toward cover plate, line up dowels. Tap
gear plate lightly until it is against O-ring in cover
plate.
8. Install back-up ring (3, Figure 4-5) and O-ring (2).
9. Install O-ring (5, Figure 4-6) in pressure plate (2).
With trap (small oblong hole) in pressure plate
toward inlet side of gear plate and bronze side up,
slide pressure plate down gear bores.
10. Install drive gear in gear bore nearest to matching
mark and idler gear in opposite bore.
11. Install O-ring in remaining pressure plate . With trap
toward inlet side and bronze side down, place
pressure plate down against gear faces.
M04002 12/89
14. With O-ring in flange plate facing down and keeping plate true with shafts, slide it down until it
contacts dowels in gear plate. Bump flange very
lightly with hands or plastic hammer to force the

anti-seize thread compound.
Do not operate engine while the cooling system

heater is plugged in. The flow check valve eliminates coolant flow through the heater while the
engine is running. This will cause a lack of circulation in the heater and burn out the heating elements.
Maintenance
To check for operation of the heating units, the outlet
water hoses should feel warm to the touch.
1. Check all electrical connections to insure proper
connections are made.
2. Check for a burned out heating element. (Do not
remove heating unit from the truck.)

Environmental Impact
Environmental studies have indicated a weakening of the earths protective Ozone (O3) layer in the outer stratosphere. Chloro-flouro-carbon compounds (CFCs), such as R-12 refrigerant (Freon), commonly used in mobile
equipment air conditioning systems, have been identified as a possible contributing factor of the Ozone depletion.
Consequently, legislative bodies in more than 130 countries have mandated that the production and distribution of
R-12 refrigerant be discontinued after 1995. Therefore, a more environmentally-friendly hydro-flouro-carbon

for HFC 134a Refrigerant
M9-1
(HFC) refrigerant, commonly identified as HFC-134a or R-134a, is being used in most current mobile air conditioning systems. Additionally, the practice of releasing either refrigerant to the atmosphere during the charging/
recharging procedure is prohibited.
These restrictions require the use of equipment and procedures which are significantly different from those traditionally used in air conditioning service techniques. The use of new equipment and techniques allows for complete
recovery of refrigerants, which will not only help to protect the environment, but through the recycling of the refrigerant will preserve the physical supply, and help to reduce the cost of the refrigerant.
OPERATOR CAB AIR CONDITIONING
PRINCIPLES OF REFRIGERATION
Mining and construction vehicles have unique characteristics of vibration, shock-loading, operator
changes, and climate conditions that present different design and installation problems for air conditioning systems. Off-highway equipment, in general,
is unique enough that normal automotive or highway truck engineering is not sufficient to provide the
reliability to endure the various work cycles encountered.
A brief review of the principles of air conditioning is

necessary to relate the function of the components,
the technique of troubleshooting and the corrective
action necessary to put the AC unit into top operating efficiency.
The cab tightness, insulation, and isolation from

heat sources is very important to the efficiency of
the system. It is advisable to close all vents, even
the intakes of pressurization systems, when there
are high humidity conditions.
The general cleanliness of the system and components is important. Dust or dirt collected in the condenser, evaporator, or air filters decreases the
system'
s cooling capacity.
The compressor, condenser, evaporator units,
hoses and fittings must be installed clean and tight
and be capable of withstanding the strain and abuse
they are subjected to on off-highway vehicles.
Equipment downtime costs are high enough to
encourage service areas to perform preventative
maintenance at regular intervals on vehicle air-conditioning systems. (Cleaning, checking belt tightness, and operation of electrical components).
M9-2
Too frequently, the operator and the serviceman

overlook the primary fact that no AC system will
function properly unless it is operated within a completely controlled cab environment. The circulation
of air must be a directed flow. The cab must be
sealed against seepage of ambient air. The cab
interior must be kept free of dust and dirt which, if
picked up in the air system, will clog the intake side
of the evaporator coil.
AIR CONDITIONING
Air conditioning is a form of environmental control.
As applied to the cab, it refers to the control of temperature, humidity, cleanliness, and circulation of
air. In the broad sense, a heating unit is as much an
air conditioner as is a cooling unit. The term Air
Conditioner is commonly used to identify an air
cooling unit. To be consistent with common usage,
the term Air Conditioner will refer to the cooling
unit utilizing the principles of refrigeration; sometimes referred to as the evaporator unit.

REFRIGERATION - THE ACT OF COOLING

There is no process for producing cold; there is
THE REFRIGERATION CYCLE
Heat always travels toward cooler temperatures.
In an air conditioning system, the refrigerant is circulated under pressure through the five major components in a closed circuit. At these points in the system,
the refrigerant undergoes predetermined pressure and
temperature changes.
Temperature is the measurement of the intensity
The compressor (refrigerant pump) takes in low pressure heat laden refrigerant gas through the suction
valve (low side), and as its name indicates, pressurizes
the heat laden refrigerant and forces it through the discharge valve (high side) on to the condenser.
only heat removal.
This principle is the basis for the operation of a

cooling unit. As long as one object has a temperature lower than another, this heat transfer
will occur.
of heat in degrees. The most common measuring device is the thermometer.
All objects have a point at which they will turn to
vapor. Water boiling is the most common example of heating until vapor is formed. Boiling is a
rapid form of evaporation. Steam is a great deal
hotter than boiling water. The water will not
increase in temperature once brought to a boil.
The heat energy is used in the vaporization process. The boiling point of a liquid is directly
affected by pressure. By changing pressure, we
can control the boiling point and temperature at
which a vapor will condense. When a liquid is
heated and vaporizes, the gas will absorb heat
without changing pressure.
Reversing the process, when heat is removed
from water vapor, it will return to the liquid state.

Heat from air moves to a cooler object. Usually
the moisture in the cooled air will condense on
the cooler object.
Refrigerant - Only R-134a should be used in the
new mobile systems which are designed for this

refrigerant.
Ambient air, passing through the condenser removes

heat from the circulating refrigerant resulting in the conversion of the refrigerant from gas to liquid.
The liquid refrigerant moves on to the receiver drier
where impurities are filtered out, and moisture
removed. This component also serves as the temporary storage unit for some liquid refrigerant.
The liquid refrigerant, still under high pressure, then
flows to the expansion valve. This valve meters the
amount of refrigerant entering the evaporator. As the
refrigerant passes through the valve, it becomes a low
temperature, low pressure liquid and saturated vapor.
This causes the refrigerant to become cold.
The remaining low pressure liquid immediately starts to
boil and vaporize as it approaches the evaporator, adding to the cooling. The hot, humid air of the cab is
pulled through the evaporator by the evaporator
blower. Since the refrigerant is colder than the air, it
absorbs the heat from the air producing cool air which
is pushed back into the cab. The moisture in the air
condenses upon movement into the evaporator and
drops into the drain pan from which it drains out of the
cab.
The cycle is completed when the heated low pressure
gas is again drawn into the compressor through the
suction side.
This simplified explanation of the principles of refrigeration does not call attention to the fine points of refrigeration technology. Some of these will be covered in the
following discussions of the components, controls, and
techniques involved in preparing the unit for efficient
operation.
M09010 05/02

M9-3
AIR CONDITIONER SYSTEM

COMPONENTS
COMPRESSOR (Refrigerant Pump)
The compressor is where the low pressure side of the
system changes to high pressure. It concentrates the
refrigerant returning from the evaporator (low side) creating high pressure and a temperature much higher
than the outside air temperature. The high temperature
differential between the refrigerant and the outside air
is necessary to aid rapid heat flow in the condenser
from the hot refrigerant gas to much cooler outside air.
To create high pressure concentration, the compressor
draws in refrigerant from the evaporator through the
suction valve and during compression strokes, forces it
out through the discharge valve to the condenser. The
pressure from the compressor action moves the refrigerant through the condenser, receiver-drier and connecting hoses to the expansion valve.
The compressor is driven by the engine through a vbelt driving an electrically operated clutch mounted on
the compressor drive shaft.
SERVICE VALVES
Quick-connect hose end fittings with integral service
valves attach to system service ports for servicing the
unit. A manifold gauge set is connected into the system
at the service valve ports and all procedures, such as
discharging, evacuating and charging the system, are
performed through the service valves.
CONDENSER
The condenser receives the high pressure, high-temperature refrigerant vapor from the compressor and
condenses it to high pressure, hot liquid.
It is designed to allow heat movement from the hot
refrigerant vapor to the cooler outside air. The cooling
of the refrigerant changes the vapor to liquid. Heat
exchange is accomplished using cooler air flowing
through the condenser. Condenser cooling is achieved
by air flowing from the radiator fan along with ram air
provided by vehicle movement. The radiator fan moves
more than 50% of condenser air flow unless travel
speed is at least 25 mph.
Condensing of the refrigerant is the change of state of

the refrigerant from a vapor to a liquid. The action is
affected by the pressure of the refrigerant in the coil
and air flow through the condenser. Condensing pressure in an AC system is the controlled pressure of the
refrigerant which affects the temperature at which it
condenses to liquid, giving off large quantities of heat
in the process. The condensing point is sufficiently high
to create a wide temperature differential between the
hot refrigerant vapor and the air passing over the condenser fins and tubes. This difference permits rapid
heat transfer from the refrigerant to ambient air.
RECEIVER-DRIER
The receiver-drier is an important part of the air conditioning system. The drier receives the liquid refrigerant
from the condenser and removes any moisture and foreign matter present which may have entered the system. The receiver section of the tank is designed to
store extra refrigerant until it is needed by the evaporator. The storage of this refrigerant is temporary and is
dependent on the demand of the expansion valve.
A desiccant is a solid substance capable of removing
moisture from gas, liquid or solid. It is held in place
within the receiver between two screens, which also
act as strainers.
The receiver-drier is also equipped with a sight glass
and a moisture indicator. The sight glass can give a
good indication of the charge of the system. If the sight
glass is not clear, the system is low on refrigerant.
The moisture indicator is a device to notify service personnel that the drier is full of moisture and must be
replaced. The indicator is blue when the component is
free from moisture. When the indicator turns beige or
tan, the drier must be replaced.
Ram air condensers depend upon the vehicle movement to force a large volume of air past the fins and
tubes of the condenser. The condenser is usually
located in front of the radiator or on the roof of the
truck.
M9-4

05/02 M09010
EXPANSION BLOCK VALVE
EVAPORATOR
The expansion block valve controls the amount of

refrigerant entering the evaporator coil. Both internally
and externally equalized valves are used.
The evaporator cools and dehumidifies the air before it

enters the cab. Cooling a large area requires that large
volumes of air be passed through the evaporator coil
for heat exchange. Therefore, a blower becomes a vital
part of the evaporator assembly. It not only draws heat
laden air into the evaporator, but also forces this air
over the evaporator fins and coils where the heat is
surrendered to the refrigerant. The blower forces the
cooled air out of the evaporator into the cab.
The expansion valve is located near the inlet of the

evaporator and provides the functions of throttling,
modulating, and controlling the liquid refrigerant to the
evaporator coil.
The refrigerant flows through a restriction creating a
pressure drop across the valve. Since the expansion
valve also separates the high side of the system from
the low side, the state of the refrigerant entering the
valve is warm to hot high pressure liquid; exiting it is
low pressure liquid and gas. The change to low pressure allows the flowing refrigerant to immediately begin
changing to gas as it moves toward the evaporator.
This produces the desired cooling effect.
The amount of refrigerant metered into the evaporator
varies with different heat loads. The valve modulates
from wide open to the nearly closed position, seeking a
point between for proper metering of the refrigerant.
As the load increases, the valve responds by opening
wider to allow more refrigerant to pass into the evaporator. As the load decreases, the valve reacts and
allows less refrigerant into the evaporator. It is this controlling action that provides the proper pressure and
temperature control in the evaporator.
This system uses an internally equalized, block type
expansion valve. With this type valve, the refrigerant
leaving the evaporator coil is also directed back
through the valve so the temperature of the refrigerant
is monitored internally rather than by a remote sensing
bulb. The expansion valve is controlled by both the
temperature of the power element bulb and the pressure of the liquid in the evaporator.
Heat exchange, as explained under condenser operation, depends upon a temperature differential of the air
and the refrigerant. The greater the temperature differential, the greater will be the amount of heat
exchanged between the air and the refrigerant. A high
heat load condition, as is generally encountered when
the air conditioning system is turned on, will allow rapid
heat transfer between the air and the cooler refrigerant.
The change of state of the refrigerant in and going
through the evaporator coil is as important as that of
the air flow over the coil.
All or most of the liquid that did not change to vapor in
the expansion valve or connecting tubes boils
(expands) and vaporizes immediately in the evaporator, becoming very cold. As the process of heat loss
from the air to the evaporator coil surface is taking
place, any moisture (humidity) in the air condenses on
the cool outside surface of the evaporator coil and is
drained off as water.
At atmospheric pressure, refrigerant boils at a point
lower than water freezes. Therefore, the temperature in
the evaporator must be controlled so that the water collecting on the coil surface does not freeze on and
between the fins and restrict air flow. The evaporator
temperature is controlled through pressure inside the
evaporator, and temperature and pressure at the outlet
of the evaporator.
NOTE: It is important that the sensing bulb, if present,

is tight against the output line and protected from
ambient temperatures with insulation tape.

accessory circuit and is fused with a 30-ampere circuit
breaker.
An electromagnetic clutch is used in conjunction with

the thermostat to disengage the compressor when it is
not needed, such as when a defrost cycle is indicated
in the evaporator, or when the system or blower is
turned off.
The blower control is a switch which provides a range

of blower speeds from fast to slow. When the blower
switch is turned on, current is available at the compressor clutch. Once the blower is turned on, fan speeds
may be changed without affecting the thermostat sensing level.
The thermostat reacts to changing temperatures which
cause electrical contacts to open and close. The thermostat has a capillary tube extended into the evaporator coil to sense temperature.
When the contacts are closed, current flows to the
clutch field and energizes the clutch, causing the
swash plate inside the compressor to turn which starts
the refrigeration cycle. When the temperature of the
evaporator coil drops to a predetermined point, the
contacts open and the clutch disengages.
When the clutch is disengaged, the blower remains at
the set speed. After the evaporator temperature rises
about twelve degrees above the cutout point, the contacts in the thermostat close and the refrigeration cycle
resumes.
THERMOSTAT
An electromagnetic clutch is used on the compressor
to provide a means of constant temperature control of
the cab. The clutch is controlled by a thermostat in the
evaporator which is set initially by the driver to a predetermined point. Evaporator temperature is then maintained by the cycling action of the clutch.
The stationary field clutch is the most desirable type

since it has fewer parts to wear. The field is mounted to
the compressor by mechanical means depending on
the type field and compressor. The rotor is held on the
armature by a bearing and snap rings. The armature is
mounted on the compressor body.
When no current is fed to the field, there is no magnetic
force applied to the clutch and the rotor is free to rotate
on the armature, which remains stationary on the
crankshaft.
When the thermostat or switch is closed, current is fed
to the field. This sets up a magnetic force between the
field and armature, pulling it into the rotor. When the
armature becomes engaged with the rotor, the complete unit rotates while the field remains stationary.
This causes the compressor crankshaft to turn, starting
the refrigeration cycle.
When the switch or thermostat is opened, current is cut
off. The armature snaps back out and stops while the
rotor continues to turn. Pumping action of the compressor is stopped until current is again applied to the field.
In addition, safety switches in the compressor clutch
electrical circuit control clutch operation, disengaging
the clutch if system pressures are abnormal.
The thermostat is simply a thermal device which controls an electrical switch. When warm, the switch is
closed; when cold, it is open. Most thermostats have a
positive OFF position as a means to turn the clutch
OFF regardless of temperature.
The bellows type thermostat has a capillary tube connected to it which is filled with refrigerant. The capillary
tube is attached to the bellows inside of the thermostat.
Expansion of the gases inside the capillary tube exerts
pressure on the bellows, which in turn closes the contacts at a predetermined temperature.

TRINARY SWITCH
Fan Clutch - The mid-range function actuates the

engine fan clutch, if installed.
This switch is mounted on the receiver-drier and has

three functions, as implied by the name:
1.
Disengage the compressor clutch when system pressure is too high.
2.
Disengage the compressor clutch when system pressure is too low.
3.
Engage and disengage the radiator fan drive
clutch during normal variation of system pressure.
The Trinary switch performs three distinct functions
to monitor and control refrigerant pressure in the system. This switch is installed on the receiver-drier. The
switch functions are:
Terminals 1 & 2 are connected internally through two,
normally closed pressure switches in series, the low
pressure switch and the high pressure switch.
High Pressure - This switch opens and disen-
gages the compressor clutch if system pressure

rises above the 300 - 350 psi range. After system pressure drops to 210 - 250 psi, the switch
contacts will close and the clutch will engage.
The switch functions will automatically reset when system pressure returns to normal.

High
Pressure

210-250 psi
Fan Clutch

pressure

The pressures listed above are typical of pressures

at the receiver-drier. Due to normal system flow
losses and the distance between the service port
and the receiver-drier, it is expected that actual
system pressure displayed on the gauge will normally be approximately 20 psi higher. This factor
should be observed when checking for proper
operation of the switch.
Terminals 3 & 4 are connected internally through a normally open switch that is used to control the clutch that
drives the radiator fan. This switch closes and causes
the cooling fan clutch to engage when system pressure
rises to 200 - 230 psi. When pressure falls to 140 - 195
psi, the switch contacts open, and the cooling fan
clutch disengages
NOTE: One other pressure controlling device is

installed within the compressor. A mechanical relief
valve is located on the back of the compressor. The
relief valve will open at 500 - 550 psi. The purpose of
this valve is to protect the compressor in the event that
pressure should be allowed to rise to that level. Damage to the compressor will occur if pressure exceeds
550 psi.
Low Pressure - This switch opens and disen-
gages the compressor clutch if system pressure drops into the 15 -30 psi range. When
pressure rises above 40 psi, the switch contacts
close, and the clutch engages the compressor.
Since temperature has a direct effect on pressure, if the ambient temperature is too cold,
system pressure will drop below the low range,
and the pressure switch will disengage the
clutch.

SYSTEM SERVICING
Servicing an air conditioning system really means

closely monitoring refrigerant flow. For this reason, the
following procedures deal extensively with the proper
use, handling, care and safety factors involved in the
R-134a refrigerant quality and quantity in an air conditioning system.
Because the refrigerant in an air conditioning system
must remain pressurized and sealed within the unit to
function properly, safety is a major consideration when
anything causes this pressurized, sealed condition to
change. The following warnings are provided here to
alert service personnel to their importance BEFORE
learning the correct procedures. Read, remember, and
observe each warning before beginning actual system
servicing.
NOTE: If the mine operates a fleet with some trucks
using R-12 and others using R-134a refrigerant, it is
essential that servicing tools that come into contact
with the refrigerant (gauge sets, charging equipment,
recycle/recovery equipment etc.) be dedicated to one
type refrigerant only, to prevent cross contamination.
Federal regulations prohibit venting R-12 and

R134a refrigerant into the atmosphere. An SAE and
UL approved recovery/recycle station must be
used to remove refrigerant from the AC system.
Refrigerant is stored in a container on the unit for
recycling, reclaiming, or transporting. In addition,
technicians servicing AC systems must be certified
they have been properly trained to service the system.
Although accidental release of refrigerant is a
remote possibility when proper procedures are followed, the following warnings must be observed
when servicing AC systems:
Provide appropriate protection for your eyes (goggles or face shield) when working around refrigerant.
A drop of the liquid refrigerant on your skin will
produce frostbite. Wear gloves and exercise
extreme care when handling refrigerant.
If even the slightest trace of refrigerant enters in
your eye, flood the eye immediately with cool water
and seek medical attention as soon as possible.
Ensure sufficient ventilation whenever refrigerant
is being discharged from a system, keeping in
mind refrigerant is heavier than air and will seek
low areas of shop.
When exposed to flames or sparks, the components of refrigerant change and become deadly
phosgene gas. This poison gas will damage the
respiratory system if inhaled. NEVER smoke in
area where refrigerant is used or stored.
Never direct steam cleaning hose or torch in direct
contact with components in the air conditioning
system. Localized heat can raise the pressure to a
dangerous level.
Do not heat or store refrigerant containers above
120 F (49 C).
Do not flush or pressure test the system using
shop air or another compressed air source. Certain
mixtures of air and R-134a refrigerant are combustible when slightly pressurized. Shop air supplies
also contain moisture and other contaminants that
could damage system components.
M9-8

05/02 M09010
SYSTEM OIL
R-134a air conditioning systems require the use of
polyalkylene glycol (PAG) lubricating oil. This is the
only oil recommended for use in this system. At
present time, General Motors part number (12345923)
is the oil that is furnished in the system on Komatsu
trucks. This clear oil can be found at AC Delco dealers.
In some areas, it can be found from other suppliers as
U-Con 488. The only other alternative is General
Motors part number (12356151) which is now becoming more popular and is expected to become the furnished oil in Komatsu AC systems. This oil is light bluegreen in color and may be mixed with the other recommended oil.
Handling and Reusing PAG Oil
Avoid skin contact and inhalation of PAG oil, as
these are normal precautions with any chemical.
No PAG oil removed from new or old components
should be retained for re-use. It should be stored
in a marked container and properly sealed. PAG
oil is an environmental pollutant and should be
properly disposed of after use.
PAG oil in containers or in an air conditioning system should not be left exposed to the atmosphere
any longer than necessary. PAG oil absorbs moisture very rapidly, and therefore, any absorbed
moisture could cause damage to an air conditioning system.

Setting Up a New Compressor

Compressors come with 10.5 ounces of oil in the
sump. Compressors being replaced should have been
operating with 6 ounces of oil in the sump, therefore,
the new compressor should be adjusted, accordingly.
Example: If a compressor is being replaced, the
receiver drier must also be replaced. (The receiverdrier should be replaced whenever the system is
opened.) Since the new compressor comes with 10.5
ounces of oil, 2.5 ounces of oil should be removed from
the compressor leaving 8 ounces. 8 ounces accounts
for the 6 ounces needed for the compressor, and the 2
ounces for the new receiver-drier.
OIL QUANTITY
It is critical to keep the correct amount of lubricant in
the air conditioning system at all times. Failure to do so
could result in damage to the compressor.
Damage to the compressor can be a result from not
only a lack of oil, but from too much oil, also. A lack of
oil will cause excess friction and wear on moving parts.
Excessive oil can result in slugging the compressor.
This condition occurs when the compressor attempts to
compress liquid oil as opposed to vaporized refrigerant. Since liquid cannot be compressed, damage to
internal parts results.
Never run the system with more than 10.5 ounces

of oil in the compressor sump. Damage to the compressor as well as other system components may
occur. It is important to have a good balance of oil
throughout the system.
Replacing Oil After Servicing the System

Replace oil that has been removed from the system
through recovery of refrigerant and replacement of
components. Refer to the chart below for adding oil.
M09010 05/02

M9-9
REFRIGERANT
Recycled Refrigerant
Recycled refrigerant has been extracted from a mobile
air conditioning system using a recovery unit. The
refrigerant is cleaned by the recovery unit as it passes
through filters located on the unit that meet specifications stipulated by Society of Automotive Engineers,
SAE J2099. The refrigerant that has passed through
the filtering process has only been cleaned of contaminants that are associated with mobile systems. Therefore, recycled refrigerant from mobile systems is only
acceptable for reuse in mobile systems.
Reclaimed Refrigerant
Reclaimed refrigerant has been filtered through a more
thorough filtering process and has been processed to
the same standards of purity as virgin refrigerant.
Because of this, reclaimed refrigerant is acceptable for
use in all systems, not just mobile. The reclaiming
equipment used for this process is expensive, and
therefore, not common among normal maintenance
shops. Equipment such as this is more commonly
found in air conditioning specialty shops.
An unclear sight glass on R-134a systems can indicate that the system may be low on refrigerant.
However, the sight glass should not be used as a
gauge for charging the system. Charging the system must be done with a scale to ensure the proper
amount of refrigerant has been added.
R-134a Refrigerant Containers

Two basic, readily available containers are used to
store R-134a: the 30 or 60 pound bulk canisters (Figure 9-2).
Always read the container label to verify the contents
are correct for the system being serviced. Note the
containers for R-134a are painted light blue.
Always use new, recycled, or reclaimed refrigerant

when charging a system. Failure to adhere to this
recommendation may result in premature wear or
damage to air conditioning system components
and poor cooling performance.
REFRIGERANT QUANTITY
If not enough refrigerant is charged into the system,
cooling ability will be diminished. If too much refrigerant
is charged into the system, the system will operate at
higher pressures, and in some cases, may damage
system components. Exceeding the specified refrigerant charge will not provide better cooling.
FIGURE 9-2. R-134a CONTAINERS

1. 30 lb. Cylinder
2. 60 lb. Cylinder
If an incorrect charge is suspected, recover the refrigerant from the system, and charge the system with the
correct operating weight (6.9 lb, 3.13 kg). This is not
only the recommended procedure, but it is also the
best way to ensure that the system is operating with
the proper charge and providing optimum cooling.
Using the sight glass to determine the charge is
not an accurate method.
M9-10

05/02 M09010
SERVICE TOOLS AND EQUIPMENT

RECOVERY/RECYCLE STATION
Whenever refrigerant must be removed from the system, a dual purpose station as shown in Figure 9-3,
performs both recovery and recycle procedures which
follows the new guidelines for handling used refrigerant. The recovered refrigerant is recycled to reduce
contaminants, and can then be reused in the same
machine or fleet.
Mixing different types of refrigerant will damage

equipment. Dedicate one recovery/recycle station
to each type of refrigerant processing to avoid
equipment damage. DISPOSAL of the gas removed
requires laboratory or manufacturing facilities.
To accomplish this, the recovery/recycle station separates the oil from the refrigerant and filters the refrigerant multiple times to reduce moisture, acidity, and
particulate matter found in a used refrigerant.
Test equipment is available to confirm the refrigerant in

the system is actually the type intended for the system
and has not been contaminated by a mixture of refrigerant types.
NOTE: To be re-sold, the gas must be reclaimed

which leaves it as pure as new, but requires equipment
normally too expensive for all but the largest
refrigeration shops.
Recycling equipment must meet certain standards as

published by the Society of Automotive Engineers and
carry a UL approved label. The basic principals of
operation remain the same for all machines, even if the
details of operation differ somewhat.
Equipment is also available to just remove or extract

the refrigerant. Extraction equipment does not clean
the refrigerant - it is used to recover the refrigerant from
an AC system prior to servicing.
LEAK DETECTOR
The electronic detector (Figure 9-4) is very accurate
and safe. It is a small hand-held device with a flexible
probe used to seek refrigerant leaks. A buzzer, alarm
or light will announce the presence of even the smallest leak.
Some leak detectors are only applicable to one type of
refrigerant. Ensure the leak detector being used
applies to the refrigerant in the system.

SERVICE VALVES
Because an air conditioning system is a sealed system,
two service valves are provided on the compressor to
enable diagnostic tests, system charging or evacuation. Connecting the applicable hoses from the manifold gauge set to the compressor service valves
enables each of these to be readily performed.
FIGURE 9-6. VACUUM PUMP
VACUUM PUMP
The vacuum pump (Figure 9-6) is used to completely
evacuate all of the refrigerant, air, and moisture from
the system by deliberately lowering the pressure within
the system to the point where water turns to a vapor
(boils) and together with all air and refrigerant is withdrawn (pumped) from the system.
New and unique service hose fittings (Figure 9-5) have

been specified for R-134a systems. Their purpose is to
avoid accidental cross-mixing of refrigerants and lubricants with R-12 based systems. The service ports on
the system are quick disconnect type with no external
threads. They do contain a Schrader type valve. The
low side fitting has a smaller diameter than the high
side attachment.
Protective caps are provided for each service valve.
When not being used these caps should be in place to
prevent contamination or damage to the service
valves.
M9-12

05/02 M09010
MANIFOLD GAUGE SET

A typical manifold gauge set (Figure 9-7) has two
screw type hand valves to control access to the system, two gauges and three hoses. The gauges are
used to read system pressure or vacuum. The manifold
and hoses are for access to the inside of an air conditioner, to remove air and moisture, and to put in, or
remove, refrigerant from the system. Shutoff valves are
required within 12 inches of the hose end(s) to minimize refrigerant loss.
A gauge set for R-134a will have a blue hose with a
black stripe for the low side, a red hose with a black
stripe for the high side, and a yellow hose with a black
stripe for the utility (center) hose. The hoses use a 1/2
in. ACME female nut on the gauge end. Special quick
disconnect couplings are normally combined with a
shutoff valve on the high and low side hoses. The free
end of the center hose contains a 1/2 in. ACME female
nut and a shutoff device within 12 inches of the hose
end. These special hoses and fittings are designed to
minimize refrigerant loss and to preclude putting the
wrong refrigerant in a system.
NOTE: When hose replacement becomes necessary,

the new hoses must be marked SAE J2916 R-134a.
Functions of the manifold gauge set are included in

many of the commercially available recovery or recovery/recycle stations.
FIGURE 9-7. MANIFOLD GAUGE SET

Low Side Gauge
The Low Side Gauge, registers both vacuum and pressure. The vacuum side of the scale is calibrated from 0
to 30 inches of mercury (in. Hg). The pressure side of
the scale is calibrated to 150 psi.
Never open the hand valve to the high side at anytime when the air conditioning system is operating.
High side pressure, if allowed, may rupture charging containers and potentially cause personal
injury.
High Side Gauge
The High Side Gauge is used to measure pressure
only on the discharge side of the compressor. The
scale is calibrated from 0 to 500 psi.
M09010 05/02

M9-13
INSTALLING MANIFOLD GAUGE SET

Before attempting to service the air conditioning system, a visual inspection of both the engine and system
components is recommended. Particular attention
should be given to the belts, hoses, tubing and all
attaching hardware plus the radiator cap, fan clutch,
and thermostat. Inspect both the condenser and the
radiator for any obstructions or potential contamination.
Minimize all the possibilities for error or malfunction of
components in the air conditioning system.
Shut off engine. DO NOT attempt to connect service equipment when the engine is running.
1. Be sure all valves on the manifold are closed all

the way (turn them clockwise).
2. Check the hose connections on the manifold for
tightness.
3. Locate the low and high side system service fittings and remove their protective caps.
4. Connect the two service hoses from the manifold
to the correct service valves on the compressor
as shown in Figure 9-8. (High side to compressor
discharge valve and low side to compressor suction side.) Do not open service valves at this time.
FIGURE 9-8. SERVICE HOSE HOOK-UP
This gauge hook-up process will be the same, regardless of the gauge set being installed. Whether it is a
recovery station or individual gauges, the connections
are the same. The procedures performed next will vary
depending what type of equipment is being used. If a
recovery/recycling station is being used, complete servicing can be accomplished. Using only a set of
gauges will limit the servicing to only adding refrigerant
or observing pressures.
M9-14

05/02 M09010
Purging Air From Service Hoses

The purpose of this procedure is to remove all the
air trapped in the hoses prior to actual system testing. Environmental regulations require that all service hoses have a shutoff valve within 12 inches of
the service end. These valves are required to
ensure only a minimal amount of refrigerant is lost
to the atmosphere. R-134a gauge sets have a combination quick disconnect and shutoff valve on the
high and low sides. The center hose also requires a
valve.
The initial purging is best accomplished when connected to recovery or recycle equipment. With the
center hose connected to the recovery station, service hoses connected to the high and low sides of
the system, we can begin the purging. The manifold
valves and service valves should be closed. Activating the vacuum pump will now pull any air or moisture out of the center hose. This will require only a
few minutes of time. The hose is the only area that
is being placed in a vacuum and this will not require
a lengthy process. Closing the valve will then insure
the hose is purged. It is now safe to open the other
manifold valves.

SYSTEM PERFORMANCE TEST
Stabilizing the AC System
This test is performed to establish the condition of all

components in the system. Observe these conditions
during testing:
During this stabilization period, do not open hand
valves on manifold for any reason. Equipment
damage and personal injury may result.
1. Start the engine and return to an idle speed of
1200 to 1500 RPM. Turn on the air conditioner.
2. After a performance check of the control functions, blower speeds and air flow, set the AC system controls to maximum cooling and blower
speed on high. Open the cab to ensure continuous operation of the compressor.
3. Run the engine and air conditioner about 5 minutes for the system to stabilize.
4. If the humidity is high it will be necessary to place
a fan in front of the AC condenser to help the air
flow across the condenser. This helps to stabilize
the system by simulating normal operating conditions.
1. Start engine and operate at 1200 to 1500 RPM.

2. Place fan in front of condenser to simulate normal
ram air flow and allow system to stabilize.
3. Place a thermometer in air conditioning vent closest to evaporator.
4. Evaluate the readings obtained from the gauges
to see if they match the readings for the ambient
temperature.
As preliminary steps to begin checkout of the system,
perform the following:
1. Close all windows and doors to the cab.
2. Set air conditioning system at maximum cooling
and blower speed operation.
3. Readings on the two manifold gauges should be
within normal range, adjust for ambient temperature.
5. It is then possible to observe the gauge readings

and the temperature coming out of the air ducts
with a thermometer.
4. Compare evaporator discharge air temperature

reading to see if it matches the recommended
temperature for the ambient temperature and
gauge readings obtained.
NOTE: If low refrigerant is indicated by lower than

normal pressure readings, recover and charge the
proper amount of refrigerant to enable adequate
system testing.
5. Carefully feel the hoses and components on the

high side. All should be warm-hot to the touch.
Check the inlet and outlet of receiver-drier for
even temperatures, if outlet is cooler than inlet, a
restriction is indicated.
Use extreme caution when placing hands on high

side components and hoses. Under certain conditions these items can be extremely hot.
6. Feel the hoses and components on the low side.
They should be cool to the touch. Check connections near the expansion valve, inlet side should
be warm and cold-cool on the outlet side.
7. If these conditions are met, the system is considered normal. Shut down engine. Remove gauges
and install the caps on the service valves.
M9-16

05/02 M09010
SYSTEM LEAK TESTING

Refrigerant leaks are probably the most common
cause of air conditioning problems, resulting from
improper or no cooling, to major internal component
damage. Leaks most commonly develop in two or three
places. The first is around the compressor shaft seal,
often accompanied by an indication of fresh refrigerant
oil. If a system is not operated for a while (winter
months), the shaft seal may dry out and leak slightly.
The centrifugal force of the clutch pulley spinning can
also cause the problem. When the system is operated
and lubricant wets the seal, the leak may stop. Such
leaks can often be located visually, or by feeling with
your fingers around the shaft for traces of oil. (The R134a itself is invisible, odorless, and leaves no trace
when it leaks, but has a great affinity for refrigerant oil.)
A second common place for leaks is the nylon and rubber hoses where they are crimped or clamped to the fittings, or where routing allows abrasion. Other threaded
joints or areas where gaskets are used should be visually and physically examined. Moving your fingers
along the bottom of the condenser and evaporator, particularly near the drain hole for the condensate will
quickly indicate the condition of the evaporator. Any
trace of fresh oil here is a clear indication of a leak.
Electronic leak detector

(Refer to Figure 9-4). As the test probe is moved into
an area where traces of refrigerant are present, a
visual or audible announcement indicates a leak. Audible units usually change tone or speed as intensity
changes.
Tracer dyes
Tracer dyes are available that can be added to the system as refrigerant is added. The system is then operated to thoroughly circulate the dye. As refrigerant
escapes, it leaves a trace of the dye at the point of
leakage, which is then detected using an ultraviolet
light (black light), revealing a bright fluorescent glow.
Soap and water
Soap and water can be mixed together and applied to
system components. Bubbles will appear to pinpoint
the specific location of leaks.
After determining the location or source of leak(s),
repair or replace leaking component(s).
Usually, a 50% charged system is enough to find most

leaks. If the system is empty, connect the manifold
gauge set to the system and charge at least 3.5 lbs. of
refrigerant into the system.
NOTE: The length of the hose will affect the refrigerant

capacity. When replacing hoses, always use the same
hose length, if possible.
Use extreme caution when leak testing a system

while the engine is running.
Before system assembly, check the compressor oil

level and fill to specifications.
In its natural state, refrigerant is a harmless, colorless gas, but when combined with an open flame, it
will generate toxic fumes (phosgene gas), which
can cause serious injuries or death.
NOTE: The refrigerant is heavier than air and will move
downward when it leaks. Apply pickup hose or test
probe on the under-surface of all components to locate
leaks.
M09010 05/02

M9-17
SYSTEM REPAIR
Hoses and Fittings
The following service and repair procedures are not

any different than typical vehicle service work. However, AC system components are made of soft metals
(copper, aluminum, brass, etc.). Comments and tips
that follow will make the job easier and reduce unnecessary component replacement.
When replacing hoses, be sure to use the same type

and ID hose you removed. When hoses or fittings are
shielded or clamped to prevent vibration damage, be
sure these are in position or secured.
All of the service procedures described are only

performed after the system has been discharged.
Never use any lubricant or joint compound to lubricate or seal any AC connections.
NOTE: To help prevent air, moisture or debris from
entering an open system, cap or plug open lines,
fittings, components and lubricant containers. Keep all
connections, caps, and plugs clean.
SYSTEM CLEANING
When performing repairs on air conditioning components, a thorough inspection should be performed.
Inspect the parts that have been removed. If they contain any loose or foreign material, the rest of the system should be checked for the source of the material.
Only SAE and/or Mobile Air Conditioning Society

(MACS) approved flushing methods with the appropriate refrigerants are to be performed when
removing debris from the system. Other methods
may be harmful to the environment, as well as air
conditioning components.
Lines
Always use two wrenches when disconnecting or connecting AC fittings attached to metal lines. You are
working with copper and aluminum tubing which can
kink or break easily. When grommets or clamps are
used to prevent line vibration, be certain these are in
place and secured.
It is important to always torque fittings to the

proper torque. Failure to do this may result in
improper contact between mating parts and leakage may occur. Refer to the following torque chart
for tightening specifications.

Installation torque for the single M10 or 3/8 in. capscrews securing the inlet and outlet fittings onto the
compressor ports is 11 - 25 ft.lbs. (15 - 34 Nm).
Expansion Valve
When removing the expansion valve from the system,
remove the insulation, clean the area and disconnect
the line from the receiver-drier. Detach the capillary
(bulb) and external equalizer tube (if present) from their
mounting locations. Remove the expansion valve from
the evaporator inlet. Expansion valve service is limited
to cleaning or replacing the filter screen. If this is not
the problem, replace the valve. Secure the capillary
and equalizer, if used, to clean surfaces and replace or
attach any insulating material.\
M9-18

05/02 M09010
Receiver-Drier
Clutch
The receiver-drier can not be serviced or repaired. It

must be replaced whenever the system is opened
for any service. The receiver-drier has a pressure
switch to control the clutch, and should be removed
and installed onto the new unit.
Clutch problems include electrical failure in the clutch

coil or lead wire, clutch pulley bearing failure, worn or
warped clutch plate or loss of clutch plate spring temper. Defective clutch assembly parts may be replaced
or the whole assembly replaced. If the clutch shows
obvious signs of excessive heat damage, replace the
whole assembly.
Thermostat
A thermostat can be stuck open or closed due to contact point wear or fusion. The thermostat temperature
sensing element (capillary tube) may be broken or
kinked closed and therefore unable to sense evaporator temperature.
When thermostat contact points are stuck open or the
sensing element can not sense temperature in the
evaporator, the clutch will not engage (no AC system
operation). Causes are a loss of charge in the capillary
tube or a kink, burned thermostat contact or just no
contact. When troubleshooting, bypass the thermostat
by hot wiring the clutch coil with a fused lead. If the
clutch engages, replace the thermostat.
Thermostat contact points may be fused (burned)
closed and the clutch will not disengage. Causes are a
faulty switch that could be due to fatigue. The thermostat must be replaced. When the clutch will not disengage you may also note that condensate has frozen on
the evaporator fins and blocked air flow. There will also
be below normal pressure on the low side of the system. Side effects can be compressor damage caused
by oil accumulation (refrigeration oil tends to accumulate at the coldest spot inside the system) and lower
than normal suction pressure that can starve the compressor of oil.
The fast way to check electrical failure in the lead wire

or clutch coil is to hot wire the coil with a fused lead.
This procedure enables you to bypass clutch circuit
control devices.
Clutch pulley bearing failure is indicated by bearing
noise when the AC system is off or the clutch is not
engaged. Premature bearing failure may be caused by
poor alignment of the clutch and clutch drive pulley.
Sometimes it may be necessary to use shims or
enlarge the slots in the compressor mounting bracket
to achieve proper alignment.
Excessive clutch plate wear is caused by the plate rubbing on the clutch pulley when the clutch is not
engaged or the clutch plate slipping when the clutch
coil is energized. A gap that is too small or too large
between the plate and clutch pulley or a loss of clutch
plate spring temper are possible causes. The ideal air
gap between the clutch pulley and the clutch plate is
0.023 to 0.057 in. (1.02 0.043 mm). If the gap is too
wide, the magnetic field created when the clutch coil is
energized will not be strong enough to pull and lock the
clutch plate to the clutch pulley.
Compressor
The compressor can fail due to shaft seal leaks (no
refrigerant in the system), defective valve plates, bearings, or other internal parts or problems associated
with high or low pressure, heat, or lack of lubrication.
Be sure the compressor is securely mounted and the
clutch pulley is properly aligned with the drive pulley.
Use a mechanic'
s stethoscope to listen for noises
inside the compressor.
NOTE: Some compressors may be discarded

because it is suspected that internal components
within the compressor have seized. Ensure that the
compressor clutch is working properly before discarding a compressor for internal seizure. The normal compressor life span should be about twice as
long as the normal life span of the compressor
clutch.
It is important to note that often times a weak clutch coil
may be mistaken for a seized compressor. When a
coils resistance has increased over time and the magnetic field weakens, the coil may not be able to pull the
load of the compressor. Failure of the coil to allow the
compressor shaft to be turned, may appear as though
the compressor is locked up.
M09010 05/02

M9-19
Before a compressor is dismissed as being seized, a

check for proper voltage to the coil should be performed. In addition, the coil should be ohm checked for
proper electrical resistance. The coil should fall within
the following range:
Do not drive or pound on the clutch plate, hub

assembly, or shaft. Internal damage to the compressor may result.
1. Remove the belt guard from the front of the air
conditioning compressor.
12.0 0.37 Ohms @ 68 F (20 C)

16.1 0.62 Ohms @ 240 F (116 C)
The temperatures specified above are roughly typical
of a summer morning before first start-up and the heat
beside an engine on a hot day. At temperatures in
between those listed above, the correct resistance is
proportionate to the difference in temperature.

it seats. Use of the installer or the equivalent
ensures that the force driving the bearing into
position acts on the inner race of the bearing.
Applying force to the outer race of the bearing will
result in bearing damage.

RECOVERING AND RECYCLING THE

REFRIGERANT
Draining the Oil from the Previous Recovery Cycle
1. Place the power switch and the controller on the
recovery unit in the OFF position.
2. Plug in the recovery station to the correct power
source.
3. Drain the recovered oil through the valve marked
OIL DRAIN on the front of the machine.
4. Place the controller knob in the ON position. The
low pressure gauge will show a rise.
5. Immediately switch to the OFF position and allow
the pressure to stabilize. If the pressure does not
rise to between 5 psi and 10 psi, switch the controller ON and OFF again.
6. When the pressure reaches 5 to 10 psi, open the
OIL DRAIN valve, collect the oil in an appropriate
container, and dispose of container as indicated
by local, state or Federal Regulation. THE OIL IS
NOT REUSABLE, DUE TO CONTAMINANTS
ABSORBED DURING USE.
Performing the Recovery Cycle
9. Check the system pressure after the recovery

equipment stops. After five minutes, system pressure should not rise above 0 gauge pressure. If
the pressure continues to rise, restart and begin
the recovery sequence again. This cycle should
continue until the system is void of refrigerant.
10. Check the sight glass oil level to determine the
amount of oil that needs to be replaced. (The
amount of oil that was lost during the recovery
cycle must be replaced back into the system).
11. Mark the cylinder with a RECOVERED (red) magnetic label to reduce the chance of charging a
system with contaminated refrigerant. Record the
amount of refrigerant recovered.
Performing the Recycling Procedure

The recovered refrigerant contained in the cylinder
must undergo the recycle procedure before it can be
reused. The recycle or clean mode is a continuous loop
design and cleans the refrigerant rapidly. Follow equipment manufacturer'
s instructions for this procedure.
1. Be sure the equipment being used is designed for

the refrigerant you intend to recover.
2. Observe the sight glass oil level. Having drained
it, it should be zero.
3. Check the cylinder refrigerant level before beginning recovery to make sure you have enough
capacity.
4. Confirm that all shut-off valves are closed before
connecting to the AC system.
Evacuating and Charging the AC System

Evacuate the system once the air conditioner components are repaired or replacement parts are secured,
and the AC system is reassembled. Evacuation
removes air and moisture from the system. Then, the
AC system is ready for the charging process, which
adds new refrigerant to the system.
5. Attach the appropriate hoses to the system being

recovered.
6. Start the recovery process by operating the equipment as per the manufacturer'
s instructions.
7. Continue extraction until a vacuum exists in the
AC system.
8. If an abnormal amount of time elapses after the
system reaches 0 psi and does not drop steadily
into the vacuum range, close the manifold valves
and check the system pressure. If it rises to 0 psi
and stops, there is a major leak.
M9-24

05/02 M09010
Evacuating the System

Evacuating the complete air conditioning system is
required in all new system installations, and when
repairs are made on systems requiring a component
replacement (system opened), or a major loss of refrigerant has occurred. All these conditions will require that
a vacuum be pulled using a vacuum pump that completely removes any moisture from the system. Once
properly evacuated, the system can be recharged
again.
Using a pump to create a vacuum in the air conditioning system effectively vaporizes any moisture, allowing
the water vapor to be easily drawn out by the pump.
The pump does this by reducing the point at which
water boils (212F at sea level with 14.7 psi). In a vacuum, water will boil at a lower temperature depending
upon how much of a vacuum is created.
As an example, if the ambient air outside the truck is
75F at sea level, by creating a vacuum in the system
so that the pressure is below that of the outside air (in
this case, at least 29.5 inches of vacuum is needed),
the boiling point of water will be lowered to 72F. Thus
any moisture in the system will vaporize and be drawn
out by the pump if the pump is run for approximately an
hour. The following steps indicate the proper procedure
for evacuating all moisture from the heavy duty air conditioning systems.
Do not use the air conditioning compressor as a vacuum pump or the compressor will be damaged.
NOTE: Lower the vacuum requirement one inch for
every 1000 feet above sea level at your location.
1. With the manifold gauge set still connected (after
discharging the system), connect the center hose
to the inlet fitting of the vacuum pump as shown
in Figure 9-10. Then open the low side hand
valves to maximum.
2. Open the discharge valve on the vacuum pump or
remove the dust cap from the discharge outlet.
Turn the pump on and watch the low side gauge.
The pump should pull the system into a vacuum
(if not, the system has a leak).
3. Run the pump for five minutes and close the hand
valves and shut off the pump.
FIGURE 9-20. VACUUM PUMP HOOKUP

1. Low Pressure Hand
Valve
2. High Pressure Hand

Valve
3. Vacuum Pump
4. Observe gauge reading and wait 10 minutes.

Reading should not vary more than 1-2 in. hg.
After waiting, if more vacuum is lost than this, a
serious leak is indicated and the system must be
recharged, leak tested, repaired and evacuated.
5. Turn on pump, open hand valves and continue
evacuation for at least one hour.
NOTE: If system has excessive amounts of moisture,
60 minutes evacuation may not be sufficient since the
water must turn to a vapor to be drawn out of the
system. If it has been verified that no system leaks
exist and gauge readings increase after 1 hour, extend
the evacuation time to ensure total moisture removal.
6. Close the manifold hand valves and turn off vacuum pump, watching the low side gauge reading.
If vacuum remains for a few minutes, the system
is ready for charging.
M09010 05/02

M9-25
Charging the AC System

The moisture must turn to gas before the pump can pull
it out. The moisture takes time to boil away, so that it
can be drawn out of the system. The vacuum pump
can draw most of the air out quickly, but a deep vacuum requires more time; the deeper the vacuum the
more time required.
The most important factor is the ability for the system to hold the deepest vacuum the pump can pull,
and hold it for 15 minutes after the pump has
stopped. This may take several tries depending on
how long the system was held in a vacuum.
When charging the system, it is possible to put it in as a

gas or as a liquid. Adding refrigerant as a liquid is
faster but can damage the compressor if not done correctly. The procedure used, and where the refrigerant
is added in the AC system makes a difference. When
using refrigerant as a liquid, never add more than two
thirds of system requirements as a liquid. Finish charging the system using gas.
The proper method for charging refrigerant into a R134a system is to first, recover all of the refrigerant
from the system. The charging refrigerant should then
be weighed on a scale to ensure the proper amount is
charged into the system. Most recovery units include a
scale within the apparatus, thus making it very easy to
charge the correct amount every time. If equipment
such as this is not available, a common scale can be
used to determine the weight of charge. Simply weigh
the charging tank, subtract the weight of the proper
charge, and charge the system until the difference is
shown on the scale. On certain types of equipment, it is
also possible to add any necessary lubricant when
charging the system.
If a scale is not used when charging R-134a into a system, it is difficult to tell if the correct charge has been
achieved. The sight glass can provide some indication,
but it is not a reliable tool for determining proper
charge.

Refrigerant Charge - Make sure system is properly charged with the correct amount of refrigerant.
PREPARING FOR DIAGNOSIS
PRELIMINARY STEPS
Successfully servicing an air conditioning system,

beyond the basic procedures outlined in the previous
section, requires additional knowledge of system testing and diagnosis.
The following steps outline the correct procedures necessary to prepare the truck and the system for testing
and diagnosis:
A good working knowledge of the manifold gauge set is

required to correctly test and diagnose an air conditioning system. An accurate testing sequence is usually
the quickest way to diagnose an internal problem.
When correctly done, diagnosis becomes an accurate
procedure rather than guesswork.
Compressor Belt - Must be tight, and aligned.
1. Correctly connect the manifold gauge set to the

system. Refer to the connection and purging procedures outlined in this section.
2. Run the engine with the air conditioning system
on for five to ten minutes to stabilize the system.
3. With the engine and the system at normal operating temperature, conduct a Performance Test as
outlined in this section.
Compressor Clutch - The clutch must engage. If it

for refrigeration oil leaks (especially in the area

of the compressor shaft). A leak indicates a
refrigerant leak.
Electrical Check - Check all wires and connec-
tions for possible open circuits or shorts. Check

all system fuses.
Note: Some systems use different safety devices in the

compressor circuit to protect the compressor. Check
the thermal fuse, the low pressure cutout switch, high
pressure cutout switch or trinary pressure switch if
equipped.
Cooling System - Check for correct cooling system operation. Inspect the radiator hoses,
heater hoses, clamps, belts, water pump, thermostat and radiator for condition or proper
operation.
Radiator Shutters - Inspect for correct operation

and controls, if equipped.

1. Start engine and operate at 1200 to 1500 RPM.

2. Place fan in front of condenser to simulate normal
ram air flow and allow system to stabilize.
3. Place a thermometer in air conditioning vent closest to evaporator.
4. Evaluate the readings obtained from the gauges
to see if they match the readings for the ambient
temperature.
As preliminary steps to begin checkout of the system,
perform the following:
1. Close all windows and doors to the cab.
2. Set air conditioning system at maximum cooling
and blower speed operation.
3. Readings on the two manifold gauges should be
within normal range, adjust for ambient temperature.

M9-27
4. Compare evaporator discharge air temperature

reading to see if it matches the recommended
temperature for the ambient temperature and
gauge readings obtained.
5. Carefully feel the hoses and components on the
high side. All should be warm-hot to the touch.
Check the inlet and outlet of receiver-drier for
even temperatures, if outlet is cooler than inlet, a
restriction is indicated.

PROBLEM: Expansion Valve Stuck or Plugged

Indications:
Low side pressure - VERY LOW or in a Vacuum
High side pressure - HIGH
Discharge air only slightly cool.
Expansion valve body is frosted or sweaty.
Possible Causes
An expansion valve malfunction could mean

the valve is stuck in the closed position, the filter
screen is clogged (block expansion valves do not
have filter screens), moisture in the system has
frozen at the expansion valve orifice, or the
sensing bulb is not operating. If the sensing bulb
is accessible, perform the following test. If not,
proceed to the Repair Procedure.
Test: Warm diaphragm and valve body with your

hand, or very carefully with a heat gun. Activate
the system and watch to see if the low pressure
gauge rises. Next, carefully spray a little nitrogen,
or any substance below 32 F, on the capillary coil
(bulb) or valve diaphragm. The low side gauge
needle should drop and read at a lower (suction)
pressure on the gauge. This indicates the valve was
partially open and that your action closed it. Repeat
the test, but first warm the valve diaphragm or
capillary with your hand. If the low side gauge
drops again, the valve is not stuck.
Repair Procedure: Inspect the expansion valve
screen (except block type valves). To do this,
remove all refrigerant from the system. Disconnect
the inlet hose fitting from the expansion valve.
Remove, clean, and replace the screen. Reconnect
the hose and replace the receiver-drier. Evacuate
and recharge the system with refrigerant using a
scale. Check AC operation and performance. If the
expansion valve tests did not cause the low pressure gauge needle to rise and drop, and if the other
procedure described did not correct the problem,
the expansion valve is defective. Replace the valve.
M09010 05/02

M9-31
PROBLEM: Expansion Valve Stuck Open

Indications:
Air from vents in the cab seems warm
or only slightly cool.
Possible Causes
The expansion valve is stuck open and/or the
capillary tube (bulb) is not making proper contact
with the evaporator outlet tube. Liquid refrigerant
may be flooding the evaporator making it impossible for the refrigerant to vaporize and absorb
heat normally. In vehicles where the expansion
valve sensing bulb is accessible, check the
capillary tube for proper mounting and contact
with the evaporator outlet tube. Then perform the
following test if the valve is accessible. If it is not,
proceed to the Repair Procedure.

Test: Operate the AC system on it'
s coldest
setting for a few minutes. Carefully spray
nitrogen or another cold substance on the capillary tube coil (bulb) or head of the valve. The low
pressure (suction) side gauge needle should now
drop on the gauge. This indicates the valve has
closed and is not stuck open. Repeat the test,
but first warm the valve diaphragm by warming
with hands. If the low side gauge shows a drop
again, the valve is not stuck. Clean the surfaces of
the evaporator outlet and the capillary coil or bulb.
Make sure the coil or bulb is securely fastened to
the evaporator outlet and covered with insulation
material. Operate the system and check performance.
Repair Procedure: If the test did not result in
proper operation of the expansion valve, the valve
is defective and must be replaced. Recover all
refrigerant from the system and replace the expansion valve and the receiver-drier. Evacuate and
recharge the system with refrigerant using a
scale. Check AC operation and performance.
PROBLEM: High Pressure Side Restriction

Indications:
Low side pressure - LOW
High side pressure - Normal to HIGH
Look for sweat or frost on high side hoses
and tubing. The line will be cool to the touch
near the restriction.
Possible Causes
Kink in a line, collapsed hose liners, plugged
receiver-drier or condenser, etc.
M9-32
Repair Procedure: After you locate the defective

component containing the restriction, recover all
of the refrigerant. Replace the defective component and the receiver-drier. Evacuate and recharge
the system with refrigerant, then check AC
operation and performance.

05/02 M09010
PROBLEM: Compressor Malfunction

Indications:
High side pressure - LOW
Compressor operates noisily.
Possible Causes
- Defective reed valves or other internal

components.
Repair Procedure: If the belt is worn or loose,

replace or tighten it and recheck system performance and gauge readings. If inspection of the
compressor is required, all of the refrigerant must
be recovered and the compressor disassembled
to the point that inspection can be performed.
Replace defective components or replace the
compressor. If particles of desiccant are found in
the compressor, flushing of the system will be
required. It will also be necessary to replace the
receiver-drier. Always check the oil level in the
compressor, even if a new unit has been installed.
Rotary compressors have a limited oil reservoir.
Extra oil must be added for all truck installations.
Tighten all connections and evacuate the system.
Recharge the system with refrigerant using a scale.
Check system operation and performance.
PROBLEM: Thermostatic Switch Malfunction

Indications:
Low side pressure - Normal
Low side pressure may cycle within a smaller
range as the compressor clutch cycles
more frequently than normal. This may indicate
the thermostat is set too high.
Possible Causes
- Thermostat malfunctioning possibly due to

incorrect installation.
Replace the thermostatic switch. When removing

the old thermostat, replace it with one of the same
type. Take care in removing and handling the
thermostat and the capillary tube that is attached
to it. Use care not to kink or break the tube.
Position the new thermostat capillary tube at or
close to the same location and seating depth
between the evaporator coil fins as the old one.
Connect the electrical leads

PROBLEM: Condenser Malfunction or System Overcharge

Indications:
Low Side High
High Side High
Discharge air may be warm.
High pressure hoses and lines are very hot.
Possible Causes
- Lack of air flow through the condenser fins
M9-34
Repair Procedure: Check the engine cooling

system components, fan and drive belt, fan clutch
operation, and the radiator shutter. Inspect
condenser for dirt, bugs, or other debris, and
clean if necessary. Be sure the condenser
is securely mounted and there is adequate
clearance (about 38 mm) between it and
the radiator. Check the radiator pressure cap and
cooling system, including the fan, fan clutch, drive
belts and radiator shutter assembly. Replace any
defective parts and then recheck AC system
operation, gauge readings, and performance.
If the problem continues, the system may be overcharged. Recover the system refrigerant. Use a
scale to recharge the system using the correct
amount. Recheck AC system operation, gauge
readings and performance. If the gauge readings
do not change, all of the refrigerant should be
recovered and the system flushed. The condenser
may be partially blocked -replace condenser. The
receiver-drier must also be replaced. Evacuate the
system, recharge, and check operation and
performance.

RADIATOR SHUTTERS
The optional radiator shutters aid in maintaining proper
engine coolant temperature, primarily in cold climate
operations.
The shutter system contains the following components:
Shutter assembly with hydraulic control actuator

cylinder
Hydraulic oil supply pressure reducing valves and

cylinder control solenoid
Solenoid control relays

Shutter enable/disable switch
Operation
Hydraulic Circuit
Hydraulic oil pressure to operate the shutter assembly
actuator cylinder is supplied from the truck steering circuit. A hose (2, Figure 19-1) attached to a T fitting at
the automatic lubrication system pump supply port
routes oil to the pressure reducing valve (3). This valve
reduces the steering circuit pressure, 3500 psi (24 132
kPa) to 1500psi (10 342 kPa). The pressure is further
reduced to 75 psi (517 kPa) by the pressure reducing
valve (4) which supplies the shutter solenoid valve (5)
to pressurize the head end of the shutter actuator cylinder (11), closing the shutters during engine warm-up.
When the shutters are signalled to open, the solenoid
valve will be de-energized and the spool will shift to
direct oil to the rod end of the actuator cylinder. Oil
returns to tank through the hose (10) routed to the
hydraulic tank.

Electrical Circuit:
A switch is located in a box (2, Figure 19-2) attached to
the right upright structure beside the automatic lubrication system grease reservoir (4) that may be used to
enable the shutters for cold weather operation or to disable the shutters during warm weather.
Note: Refer to the electrical schematic in Figure 19-3
for the following component descriptions.
The shutters are normally activated by the engine
ECM. The engine controller monitors coolant temperature and provides a signal to close the shutters when
coolant temperature is low.
Komatsu SSDA16V1610 Engine:
If equipped with the Komatsu engine, the ECM will provide a +24VDC signal (circuit 65S) to energize relay K5
located on relay board #6. This will close the N.O. relay
contacts fed by relay K3 which provides +24VDC when
the key switch is ON. Current through K5 is fed through
the shutter enable switch (closed for shutter operation)
and will energize the shutter solenoid valve to direct oil
to the head end of the shutter actuator cylinder to close
the shutters.
After the coolant has reached the proper operating
temperature, the ECM will remove the +24VDC to the
K5 relay coil and it will de-energize, opening the N.O.
contacts and removing +24VDC from the shutter solenoid circuit, directing oil to the rod end of the cylinder to
open the shutters.

Maintenance and Repair
MTU/DDEC Engine:
If the MTU/DDEC engine is installed, the ECM will provide a ground path to energize relay K5 on relay board
#6 to energize it and close the N.O. contacts to provide
+24VDC from relay K3 to the shutter control solenoid
when the key switch is ON and the shutter enable
switch is closed.
After the coolant temperature has reached the proper
operating temperature, the ECM will open the ground
circuit (563M) and de-energize relay K5 opening the
N.O. contacts and removing +24VDC from the shutter
solenoid circuit, directing oil to the rod end of the cylinder to open the shutters.
Both Engine Installations:
If the cab air conditioner is switched on, relay K3 will
energize, opening the +24VDC circuit (712ST) supplying the shutter control solenoid, preventing the shutters
from closing.
M19-2
FIGURE 19-2. SHUTTER ENABLE SWITCH BOX
The solenoid valve (5, Figure 19-1) and pressure

reducing valves (3 & 4) in the hydraulic circuit are factory set and not adjustable. If a valve is inoperative,
remove and replace the complete valve and body
assembly.
Relays K3 and K5 are plug-in devices that may easily
be replaced if defective. The relays are located on
Relay board #6, located in the electrical cabinet. Its
location may vary depending on the engine installed,
options installed, and the date the truck was manufactured. The example in Figure 19-3 shows relay board
#6 located on the left wall of the right compartment.
The shutter assembly should be inspected for physical
damage and to be certain it opens and closes completely without binding. If necessary, adjust actuator
cylinder linkage to ensure proper operation.

Reserve Engine Oil System

The Reserve Engine Oil System is designed to add
more oil capacity to the engine sump and to reduce frequent servicing of the engine oil. The constant circulation of oil between the engine sump and reserve tank
(9, Figure 31-1) increases the total volume of working
oil. This dilutes the effects of contamination and loss of
additives and maintains the oil quality over longer periods. The system adds or removes oil from the engine
as required to maintain a constant level which prevents
over fills or under fills.
A filter (14) in the supply circuit protects the pumping
unit (11) and prevents transfer of contaminants to the
engine sump which might enter the tank during servicing. It also gives an added level of oil cleanup.
Extend oil change intervals
The normal supply system capacity of oil carried in the
reserve tank is roughly equivalant to the volume in the
engine. In the process of continuous adjustment of the
engine oil level, there is a constant circulation of oil
between the engine and the reserve tank. The volume
of oil in the tank becomes part of the working oil for the
engine. Oil change intervals may usually be extended
in proportion to the increased working oil volume.
Extension beyond a proportional increase is often possible, but should be undertaken only as determined by
oil sampling and analysis. Local conditions such as
engine application, climate and fuel quality should be
taken into account in determining permissible oil life.

Operation
Engine oil is circulated between the engine oil pan (1,
Figure 31-2) and the reserve tank (2) by two electrically
driven pumps (Pump 1 and Pump 2) within a single
pumping unit (4). The pumping unit is mounted on the
side of the reserve tank. The pump unit is equipped
with an LED monitor light on one side.


Irregular Pulsing - Oil is at the correct running

level.
Pump 1 draws oil from the engine oil pan (1) at a preset
control point determined by the height of the suction
tube (6). Oil above this point is withdrawn and transferred to the reserve tank. This lowers the level in the
engine oil pan until air is drawn.
Air reaching the pumping unit activates Pump 2, which
returns oil from the reserve tank (2) and raises the
engine oil level until air is no longer drawn by Pump 1.
Pump 2 then turns "OFF". The running level is continuously adjusted at the control point by alternating
between withdrawal and return of oil at the engine oil
pan. The oil returning to the engine oil pan is below the
normal operating level to prevent aeration of the oil.

Tank Fill Control (Optional)

With the reserve oil system the engine oil level is held
constant, with only the reserve tank needing routine filling. The fill system automatically controls the filling of
remote tank from a convenient ground level position.
Filling of the tank to the proper FULL level is fast and
accurate and accomplished in 2 to 3 minutes.

servicing of the engine oil. The engine oil level must
still be checked every shift using the dipstick.
If the engine oil has been drained from the engine oil
pan, the new oil must be added through the engine fill
tube. After an oil change, both engine and reserve tank
must be full of oil before starting the engine.
NOTE: DO NOT use the oil in the reserve tank to fill the
engine pan.
The system switch (2, Figure 31-3) is an illuminated
push-pull POWER ON switch that powers the fill system. The start switch (3) is a momentary push button
switch that opens the fill valve mounted on the reserve
tank to begin the automatic filling of the reserve tank.
Supply oil under pressure flows through the fill valve
and into the tank.

Service
Changing Oil
Between oil drains, the only normal servicing required

is routine replenishment of oil at the reserve supply
tank. Maintenance of running levels should be checked
routinely; manually before starting the engine and with
the LED system monitor on the reserve tank pumping
unit (11, Figure 31-1) when the engine is running.
The is also an in-line filter (screen) installed at the inlet
of the fill valve (3, Figure 31-1). This filter requires no
periodic maintence, but it can be cleaned by removing
it from the system and back flushing through the filter.
CAUTION: Always check the engine oil level
before starting engine. Use the engine dipstick.
1. Every 10 Hours, or once each shift:
a. Before starting engine, check oil level using
engine dipstick. Oil level should be in normal
operating range. If not, check the reserve system for proper operation.
1. Drain both the engine sump and the reserve tank.

Refill both engine and reserve tank with new oil to
proper levels.
2. Change engine and reserve tank filters as
required.
3. Start engine and check for proper operation.
NOTE: Do not use the oil in the reserve tank to fill the
engine sump. Both must be at proper level before
starting engine.
The engine oil level should be checked with the engine
dipstick at every shift change. The oil level in the
reserve tank must also be checked at every shift
change. Oil must be visible in the middle sight gauge. If
not, add oil to the reserve tank until oil is visible in the
top sight gauge
b. The engine oil quality will be best if the reserve

tank is kept reasonably full. Check the oil level
in the reserve tank. As a minimum guideline, if
the oil is below the half-full level, fill the tank
manually so the oil is just visible in the top
sight glass or by using the automatic fill control method.
c. After starting and warm-up, check engine oil
level signal (LED) to verify that the engine is
being maintained at the preset running oil
level. The signal should alternate between
periods of STEADY ON and FLASHING.
2. Every 500 Hours:
a. Change all engine and system filters, if applicable.
b. More system failures result from bad electrical
connections than all other causes combined.
Check electrical system connections for tightness, corrosion and physical damage. Check
battery, alternator, oil pressure switch, junction
boxes, remote control fill box and circuit
breakers.
c. Examine electrical cables over their length for
possible damage.
d. Small hose leaks can cause system malfunction. Examine all hoses, including those on the
reserve tank and the ones leading to and from
the engine for leaks, cracks or damage.
Check all fittings for tightness, leakage or
damage.

Troubleshooting
It is important to understand the LED signal for the
pumping unit. It is used primarily to verify that the system is maintaining the oil level at the level of the open
end of the withdrawal tube in the engine oil pan. The
signal is also a valuable tool in troubleshooting the system.
When the signal is STEADY (NOT FLASHING), pump
1 is running and oil is being withdrawn from the engine
and being transferred to the reserve tank.
When the signal is FLASHING, pump 1 is drawing air
from the suction tube which triggers operation of the
pump 2 to operate and transfer oil back to the engine
from the tank (the flashing is actually the pulses of
pump 2). When the oil is at the correct level in the
engine, air and oil are alternatively entering the suction
tube, with pump 1 commanding operation of pump 2
with each portion of air that comes through the line.
This is a complete test for proper operation of the
pumping unit. This operation can be accomplished
without running the engine by jumping the oil pressure
switch that activates the system.
NOTE: There is a condition that would show a level

higher than the controlled point. If both the engine and
reserve tank are overfilled, there is no room in the tank
to draw the oil level down in the engine. In this case,
the LED signal would never start FLASHING because
pump 1 is never receiving air. It will continue to pump
oil from the engine to the tank, but because the tank is
full, the oil will be routed back to the engine via the air
relief valve on top of the tank.
There are two explanations for an overfilled tank and

engine:
When the tank is filled to FULL and the engine

is overfilled.
When oil is added directly to the engine between

oil changes. The system transfers the oil to the
reserve tank until it can not recieve any more
and the engine remains overfilled. It is, therefore, important that oil should be added only to
the reserve tank between oil changes; except,
of course, if the engine is extremely low.
1. If the signal light is STEADY, pump 1 should be

pumping oil. Verify by loosening the hose at
pump 1 outlet to verify that oil is coming through
(pump 1 is marked by a groove on its outlet).
2. Loosen the hose at the inlet of pump 1 to admit
air. Pump 2 should then run and the signal
should be flashing. Verify proper pumping of
pump 2 by loosening the hose at its outlet to see
that oil is coming through.
3. Re-tighten the inlet hose on pump 1. The pump
should again receive oil and the flashing should
stop.

TRUCK CAB
Description
The truck cab is a fully insulated design incorporating an integral ROPS structure for maximum operator comfort and safety. All gauges, switches, and
controls have been designed to simplify operation
and are placed within easy reach of the operator.
Servicing of cab and associated electrical systems
is simplified by use of heavy-duty connectors on the
various wiring harnesses. Hydraulic components
are located outside of the interior and are accessed
through covers (2, Figure 2-1) on the front of the
cab.
DO NOT attempt to modify or repair damage to

the ROPS structure without written approval
from the manufacturer. Unauthorized repairs to
the ROPS structure will void certification. If

CAB DOOR
Door Adjustment
The cab door assemblies are similar except for the

hinge side. Each is hinged on the rear edge with a
heavy duty hinge. For repairs on the door latches or
window controls it is usually better, but not necessary, to remove the door from the cab and lower it to
the floor for service.
If adjustment is necessary to insure tight closure of

door, loosen striker bolt in the door jamb, adjust, and
retighten.
Removal
1. If overhead space is available, raise body to
allow access to door with overhead hoist.
Secure body in raised position with safety
cables.
2. Lower door glass far enough to allow insertion of
lifting sling when door is removed.
3. Remove door panel for access to power window
motor harness connector. Disconnect motor
and remove cab harness from door.
A rubber sealer strip is mounted with adhesive

around the perimeter of the door assembly to
exclude dirt and drafts. This sealer strip should be
kept in good condition and replaced if it becomes
torn or otherwise damaged.
Door Jamb Bolt Adjustment
Over a period of time, the door latch mechanism and
door seals may wear and allow dirt and moisture to
enter the cab. To insure proper sealing of the door
seals, the door jamb bolt may need to be adjusted
periodically.
4. Remove the retainer clip and bolt clip from the

travel limiting strap.
5. Insert lifting sling through door and attach to
hoist. Remove capscrews (a swivel socket
works best) securing door hinge to cab and lift
door from cab.
6. Place door on blocks or on a work bench to protect the window glass and allow access to internal components for repair.
Installation
1. Attach sling and hoist to door assembly, lift door
up to the deck and position door hinges to cab.
FIGURE 2-3. DOOR JAMB BOLT ADJUSTMENT
2. Align door hinges with cab and install capscrews

securing door to cab.
1. Washer
2. Striker Bolt
3. Attach the travel limiting strap with the bolt and

clip removed previously.
4. Reconnect door harness to receptacle mounted
in the cab floor.
5. Verify proper operation of power window and
door latch adjustment.
3. Frame
4. Seal
Step A. If the door closes, but not tightly enough to

give a good seal between the seal on the door and
the cab skin:
6. Install door panel.
1. Mark the washer location (1, Figure 1) portion of

the door jamb bolt with a marker, pen, or pencil
by circumscribing the outside edge of the
washer onto the jamb.
2. Loosen the door jamb bolt (2) and move straight
inwards 1/16" and retighten.
N2-4
Truck Cab
04/03 N02014
3. Hold a piece of paper such as a dollar bill

between where the door seal (4) will hit the skin
of the cab and firmly close the door ensuring
that it latches on the second catch. (The door
latch mechanism has a double catch mechanism.)
4. The door seal should firmly grip the paper all
along the top, front, and bottom edge of the
door. If the paper is loose all around, REPEAT
STEP 2. If the paper is firmly gripped, but can
be removed without tearing it, open door and
tighten the jamb bolt completely without affecting the adjustment.
5. If the paper slips out from the door seal easily
along the top and not at the bottom, the door
itself will have to be "adjusted". Or if the paper
slips out easier at the bottom than at the top,
the door will have to be "adjusted".
If seals are tight at bottom of door, but not at top,
place a 4 x 4 block of wood at the bottom edge of
the door, below the handle. Close the door on the
wood block and press firmly inward on the top
corner of the door. Press in one or two times,
then remove the wood block and check seal
tension again using the paper method. Seal
compression should be equal all the way around
the door. If seal is still loose at the top, repeat
procedure again until seal compression is the
same all the way around.
If seal compression is greater at the top than at
the bottom of the door, place a 4 x 4 block of
wood at the top corner of the cab door. Then
press firmly inward on the lower corner of the
door. Press in one or two times, then remove the
wood block and check seal compression again.
Seal compression should be equal all the way
around the door. If seal is still loose at the bottom,
repeat procedure again until seal compression is
uniform all the way around.
Step B. If the door bucks back when trying to close it,
the striker bolt (2, Figure 2-4) has probably loosened
and slipped down from where the catch can engage
with the bolt.

2. Striker Bolt
3. Frame
4. Seal
3. Loosen and vertically align (center) the door

jamb bolt with this mark and tighten it firmly
enough to hold it in place but still allow some
slippage.
4. Carefully try to close the door (4) and determine
if this has helped the "bucking" problem. If the
door latches but not firmly enough, follow procedures listed previously in "Step A". If the door
latch does not catch, move the bolt outwards
and try again. When corrected, follow adjustment procedures listed in "Step A" to ensure a
good seal. By design, if both seals are in good
condition, proper adjustment of the outside seal
will ensure good contact on the inside seal to
prevent dust and moisture from entering the
cab.
1. Open the door and close both claws (3 & 5, Figure 2-4) on the catch until they are both fully
closed.
2. Transfer the center of this opening onto the skin
of the cab nearest where the door jamb bolt is
located. Use a T-square or other measuring
equipment and mark on the cab with a pencil.
NOTE: Release the door catch before trying to
close the door.

Door Handle Plunger Adjustment

If the door handle becomes inoperative, it can either
be adjusted or replaced. The following is a procedure
for adjusting the exterior door handle plunger.
1. Determine the amount of free play in the door
release plunger by pushing in on the plunger
until it just contacts the door release mechanism. Measure the distance that the plunger
travels (Figure 2-5) from this position to where
the plunger is fully released.
Carefully lower the door panel a few inches. Hold

glass at top to prevent it from dropping. Slide the
door panel toward the cab to disengage the
window regulator roller (Figure 2-7) from the track
on the bottom of the glass. Slide the panel away
from the cab to disengage the other top roller and
lower roller from its tracks. Place the panel out of
the way after removal.
a. Lift door glass and support at the top of the
frame.
b. Remove 2 screws (Figure 2-8) holding the
roller track to the bottom of the door glass.
3. Remove capscrew and nut from inside release
lever (1, Figure 2-14).
4. Remove the four mounting screws that holds the
latch mechanism in the door (2).
5. Remove door latch mechanism (4). Check to
see if door latch mechanism works properly by
performing the following test.
a. Close latch mechanism pawls
FIGURE 2-5. MEASURING TRAVEL DISTANCE OF

PLUNGER
b. Operate inside door release lever to see if

pawls open. If pawls do not open, replace
assembly.
c. Close pawls again.
2. Remove door panel.

a. Remove hair pin clip (1, Figure 2-6) and bolt
(2) from the door check strap closest to the
door.
b. Remove 2 capscrews (3), which hold the
door strap bracket to the door.
c. Disconnect wiring harness (4) to the window
regulator.
d. Open the door as far as possible in and
remove the internal door panel.
e. Before removing all door panel mounting
screws, support the panel to prevent the
assembly from dropping. Remove 15 mounting screws (5).

Replacement Procedure
GLASS REPLACEMENT
ADHESIVE-BONDED WINDOWS
Recommended Tools/Supplies
Cold knife, pneumatic knife, or a piano wire
cutting device, long knife. Cutout tools are
available at an auto glass supply store.
The first concern with all glass replacement is

SAFETY! Wear heavy protective gloves and
safety eyeglass goggles when working with
glass.
Heavy protective gloves
1. Using chosen cut-out tool, slice into existing

urethane adhesive and remove window.
Safety eyeglass goggles

Windshield adhesives, proper cleaners, primers
& application gun
SM2897 glass installation bumpers (6 - 7 per
window)
Window glass (Refer to Parts Catalog)
2. Carefully clean and remove all broken glass

chips from any remaining window adhesive.
The surface should be smooth and even. Use
only clean water.
NOTE: Removal of all old adhesive is not required;
just enough to provide an even bedding base.
Recommended adhesives: SikaTack Ultrafast or

Ultrafast II (both heated). Vehicle can be put into
service in 4 hours under optimum conditions. Heated
adhesives require a Sika approved oven to heat
adhesive to 80 C (176 F).
Sikaflex 255FC or Drive (unheated). Vehicle can be
put into service in 8 hours under optimum conditions.
3. Using a long knife, cut remaining urethane from

vehicle, leaving a bed 2-4 mm thick. If existing
urethane is loose or otherwise unsound, completely remove. Leave the installation bumpers
in place, if possible. Clean metal with Sika Aktivator, allow ten minutes to dry. Then paint on a
thin coat of Sika Primer 206G+P and allow ten
minutes to dry.

4. Using only the new side window(s) which are to

be bonded in place, center the new glass over
opening in the cab. Using a permanent marker,
mark on the cab skin along all the edges of the
new glass that is to be installed. All edges must
be marked on the cab in order to apply the
adhesive in the proper location.
5. Using Sika Primer 206G+P, touch up any bright
metal scratches on the metal frame of vehicle.
Do not prime existing urethane bed. Allow to dry
for ten minutes.
6. Using a clean lint free cloth, apply Sika Aktivator
to the black ceramic Frit surrounding the new
window. Use a clean cloth and wipe off Sika
Aktivator. Allow ten minutes to dry.
Due to the severe duty application of off-highway

vehicles, the cure times listed by the adhesive
manufacturer should be doubled before a truck is
moved. If the cure time is not doubled, vibration
or movement from a moving truck will weaken
the adhesive bond before it cures, and the glass
may fall off the cab.
If another adhesive manufacturer is used, be certain to follow that manufacturer's instructions for
use, including the use of any primers, and double
the allowances for proper curing time.
7. For the side windows, be sure to utilize a total

of six or seven (SM2897) glass installation
bumpers to the cab, equally spaced around the
previously marked glass perimeter, approximately 0.75 in (19 mm) inboard from where the
edge of the glass will be when installed.
NOTE: Be careful not to place adhesive too far
inboard, as it will make any future replacement more
difficult.
N02014 04/03
Truck Cab
N2-13
8. Apply a continuous even bead of the adhesive

approximately 0.38 in. (10 mm) in diameter to
the cab skin at a distance 0.50 - 0.63 in. (13 - 16
mm) inboard from the previously marked final
location of the glass edges from Step 4.
9. Immediately install glass to the vehicle. Carefully
locate the glass in place with the black masking
side towards the adhesive. Carefully press
firmly, but not abruptly, into place assuring that
the glass is properly seated. DO NOT POUND
THE GLASS INTO PLACE.
10. Using a wooden prop and furnace/duct tape,
hold the glass in place for at least two (2) full
hours (or double the adhesive manufacturers
curing time, which ever time is longer).
WINDSHIELD & REAR GLASS

Two people are required to remove and install the
windshield or rear glass. One person inside the cab,
and the other person on the outside.
Special tools are available from local tool suppliers
that are helpful in removing and installing automotive
glass.
Removal
1. If windshield is to be replaced, lift windshield
wiper arms out of the way.
2. Starting at the lower center of the glass, pull the
weatherstrip locking lip out (2, Figure 2-18 or 219). Use a non-oily rubber lubricant and a
screwdriver to release the locking lip.
NOTE: Do not allow the truck to move until double

the cure time for the adhesive has passed.
Otherwise, vibration or movement from a moving
truck will weaken the adhesive bond and the glass
may fall off the cab.
3. Remove glass from weatherstrip by pushing out

from inside the cab.
4. Clean weatherstrip grooves of dirt, sealant etc.
Be certain perimeter of cab glass opening is
clean and free of burrs etc.
Be certain to follow all the adhesive manufacturer's instructions for use, including full allowances for proper curing time. The curing time
may be as long as 48 hours (24 hours for some
adhesives, then double it) before a truck can be
driven.
11. Remove tape or prop from glass after the cure
time has expired.

HEATER/AIR CONDITIONER CONTROLS

The heater assembly incorporates all the controls
necessary for regulating the cab interior temperature;
heated air during cold weather operation, outside air
during mild temperatures and cooled, de-humidified
air during warm weather operation.
The following information primarily describes the
heater system. Refer to Section M, "Air Conditioning
System" for detailed information concerning the complete air conditioning system operation, repair, and
system recharging instructions.
OPERATION
Heat for the cab is provided by passing coolant from
the engine cooling system through a heater coil.
Blowers move air across the heating coil which
warms the air for heating or defrosting.
An engine driven freon compressor passes refrigerant through an evaporator coil mounted in the same
enclosure. The same blowers used for heating move
air across the evaporator to provide cooled air
through the outlet vents.
All heater and air conditioner controls are mounted
on a pod on the face of the enclosure. Refer to Figure 4-2 for the following:
Defroster Switch (1): This is a 2-position toggle

switch; "down " is "OFF". "Up" provides air flow
through the defroster vents.
Heat Vent Control Switch (2): This is a 2-position

toggle switch; "down " is "OFF". "Up" provides
heated air flow to the cab floor.
Temperature Control Knob (3): This is a variable

rotary
control.
Rotating
the
knob
counterclockwise (blue arrow) will select
increasingly cooler temperatures. Rotating the
knob clockwise (red arrow) selects increasingly
warmer temperatures.
Fan Control (4); This is a 4-position rotary switch;

The following information primarily describes the

heater system. Refer to Section M, "Air Conditioning
System" for detailed information concerning the complete air conditioning system operation, repair, and
system recharging instructions.
CIRCUIT BREAKERS
OPERATION
Heat for the cab is provided by passing coolant from
the engine cooling system through a heater core.
Blowers move air across the heating core which
warms the air for heating or defrosting.
An engine driven freon compressor passes air conditioning system refrigerant through an evaporator core
mounted in the same enclosure. The same blowers
used for heating move air across the evaporator to
provide cooled air through the outlet vents.
All heater and air conditioner controls are mounted on
a pod on the face of the enclosure.
Before attempting to troubleshoot the electrical circuit

in the heater enclosure, turn key switch ON and verify
circuit breaker CB31 (located on Power Distribution
Module behind operator's seat) and the internal heater
circuit breaker have not opened by verifying +24VDC
is present on the junction block (38, Figure 4-4).
RELAYS
There are five relays (9, Figure 4-3) that control the air
dampers, A/C compressor and the heater valve. All
five relays require 12 volts D.C. through the coil which
is supplied by a 24VDC - 12VDC converter (2).
One relay (Relay 1) switches 24 volt current to actuate

HEATER CORE
Test
The heater core (46, Figure 4-4) receives engine

coolant through the heater valve (14) when HEAT is
selected. If the temperature control potentiometer
(37) is placed in between the red and blue area, or
turned counterclockwise to the blue area, coolant
flow should be blocked.
Visually inspect the flappers (11, or 43) and linkage

for the function being diagnosed. Make certain the
flapper is not binding or obstructed, preventing
movement from one mode to the other.
If the selector switch (34) and heater valve appear to

be working properly, yet no heat is apparent in the
heater coil (46), the coil may be restricted. Remove
and clean or replace the coil.
FAN MOTOR AND SPEED CONTROL
Verify voltage (12 volts) is present at the actuator

when the toggle switch is closed or absent when the
toggle switch is opened.
If voltage is proper, disconnect actuator from flapper
and verify actuator force is comparable to a known
(new) actuator. If not, replace with a new actuator.
FILTER
Fan speed is controlled by inserting resistor(s) (49 &

50) in series with the supply circuit to the blower
motor to reduce voltage. The number of resistors in
series is determined by the position of the fan speed
selector switch.
At low speed, 3 resistors are used, at medium speed,
1 resistor is used, and for high speed, the full
+24VDC is supplied to the blower motor, bypassing
all resistors.
Test
If the motor (5) does not operate at any of the speed
selections, verify battery voltage is available at the
switches, relay, and circuit breakers (refer to electrical schematic, Section R). If voltage is present, the
motor is probably defective and should be removed
and replaced.
If the motor operates at high speed, but does not
operate at reduced speed, inspect the resistors for
physical damage or an open circuit. Replace resistors as required.
Service
Inlet filters in the heater cover (19) and the cab
access panel need periodic cleaning to prevent
restrictions in air circulation. Restricted filters will
decrease the performance of the heater and air conditioner. The recommended interval for cleaning and
inspection is 250 hours, but in extremely dusty conditions, the filters may need daily service and inspection, especially the outer panel filter on the cab shell.
The filter elements should be cleaned with water and
dried in a dust free environment before reinstallation.
Replace the filter element every 2000 hours or
sooner if inspection indicates a clogged or damaged
filter.
AIR CONDITIONER COMPONENTS

Components installed in the heater housing, unique
to the air conditioner system, are discussed in Section M, "Air Conditioning System" .
ACTUATORS
Two (2) rotary actuators (8, Figure 4-4) are installed
inside the heater housing and are used to actuate the
flappers for the following:
Defroster outlet
Bi-level or floor outlets
A failure to switch one of the above modes of operation may be caused by a faulty actuator.

PEDAL CONTROLS
THROTTLE PEDAL
The Throttle Pedal (4, Figure 5-4) is a foot operated
pedal which allows the operator to control engine
RPM depending on the amount of pedal depression.
SERVICE BRAKE PEDAL

The Service Brake Pedal (2, Figure 5-4) is a foot
operated pedal controlling a hydraulic valve, which
modulates pressure to the service brakes.
NOTE: Some trucks may be equipped with an
optional, single brake pedal. This pedal combines
the dynamic retarder and service brake functions on
the same pedal. Trucks with this option will not have
a pedal on the left side (2, Figure 5-4). Refer to
description below.
FIGURE 5-4. OPERATOR PEDALS

2. Service Brake Pedal
3. Dynamic Retarder
Pedal
4. Throttle Pedal
OPTIONAL DUAL FUNCTION/ SINGLE PEDAL

The optional Dynamic Retarding/Brake pedal is a
single pedal controlling both the retarding and service brake functions. With this system, the operator
must first apply maximum dynamic retarding before
the service brakes may be applied.
When the pedal is depressed, the first portion of the
pedal stroke actuates an electronic pedal potentiometer, sending an electrical signal to the Statex III
electrical system, initiating the dynamic retarding
function. The amount of retarding effort applied
depends on the amount of pedal depression, varying
from minimal when lightly depressed to maximum
when the pedal potentiometer signal reaches maximum voltage as more pressure is applied.
Further pedal depression starts application of the
service brakes as the hydraulic brake valve is actuated. (A slight increase in pedal effort will be felt.)
Note that use of the service brakes also ensures
maximum dynamic retarding has been applied.
Completely depressing the pedal causes full application of both dynamic retarding and the service
brakes.
DYNAMIC RETARDING PEDAL

The Dynamic Retarder Pedal (3, Figure 5-4) is a
foot-operated pedal which allows the operator to
slow the truck and maintain a safe productive speed
without the use of the service brakes. For normal
truck operation, only dynamic retarding should be
used to slow and control the speed of the truck. The
Grade/Speed Chart (8, Figure 5-1) should always be
followed to determine MAXIMUM safe truck speeds
for descending various grades with a loaded truck.
Service brakes should be applied only when dynamic
retarding requires additional braking force to slow the
truck speed quickly and to bring the truck to a complete stop.
When dynamic retarding is in operation, the engine
RPM will automatically go to an advance RPM retard
speed setting (usually 1250 RPM)*. Dynamic retarding will be applied automatically, if the speed of the
truck reaches the predetermined overspeed retard
setting. Dynamic Retarding is available in Forward/
Reverse at all truck speeds above 0 mph/kph, but is
available in Neutral only when truck speed is above
3 mph (4.8 kph).
* NOTE: The exact engine speed in retarding may
vary (1250 - 1650 RPM) due to the temperature of
certain components; this is controlled by the Statex
III control system.

RSC ADJUST DIAL

The RSC Adjust Dial (12, Figure 5-5) allows the
operator to vary the downhill truck speed that the
Retard Speed Control system will maintain when
descending a grade.
Operation
When the dial is rotated counterclockwise, the truck will descend at a
lower speed.
When the dial is rotated clockwise,

the truck speed will increase.
The position of the throttle pedal will override the
RSC setting. If the operator depresses the throttle
pedal to increase truck speed, dynamic retarding will
not activate unless the truck overpseed setting is
reached or the foot applied retard pedal is
depressed.
N5-8
Operator Controls
N05056
When the throttle pedal is released and the RSC

switch is ON, dynamic retarding will activate at, or
above, the RSC dialed speed and will adjust truck
speed to maintain, the dialed speed.
With the RSC switch ON and the dial adjusted, the
truck will operate as follows:
As truck speed increases to the set speed and
throttle pedal released, dynamic retarding will apply.
As truck speed tries to increase, the amount of
retarding effort will automatically adjust to keep the
selected speed. When truck speed decreases, the
retarding effort is reduced to maintain the selected
speed. If truck speed continues to decrease to
approximately 3 mph (4.8 kph) below set speed,
Dynamic Retarding will turn off automatically. If truck
speed must be reduced further, the operator can turn
the Adjust Dial to a new setting or depress the foot
operated retard pedal.
If the operator depresses the foot operated retard
pedal and the retard effort called for is greater than
that from the automatic system, the foot pedal retard
will override RSC.
RSC Control Adjustment
While operating truck at desired maximum speed:
1. Rotate RSC dial (12) clockwise to fastest speed.
2. Pull RSC switch (11) out to engage system.
3. Reduce throttle, allowing truck to coast.
4. Rotate RSC dial counterclockwise until dynamic
retarding is activated.

being operated under extreme conditions, some or
all, of the intervals may need to be shortened and the
service performed more frequently.
Many Komatsu Trucks are equipped with an Automatic Lubrication System. The initial setup for this
system provides for nominal amounts of lubricant to
be delivered to each serviced point. The lubrication
injectors can be adjusted to vary the amount of lubricant delivered. In addition, the timer for lubrication
intervals is normally adjustable. For adjustments to
these devices, consult the Automatic Lubrication

COOLANT LEVEL CHECK
Reserve Engine Oil System (Optional)
Inspect the coolant sight gauge. If coolant cannot be

seen in the sight gauge, it is necessary to add coolant to the system before truck operation. Refer to the
procedure below for the proper filling procedure.

more oil capacity to the engine to reduce the frequent
servicing of the engine oil. The engine oil level must
still be checked every shift using the dipstick. If
engine oil level is not correct, check for proper operation of reserve oil system. Never add oil to engine
unless it has been drained.
RADIATOR FILLING PROCEDURE
Cooling System is pressurized due to thermal

expansion of coolant. DO NOT remove radiator
cap while engine and coolant are hot. Severe
burns may result.
1. With engine and coolant at ambient temperature, remove radiator cap.
Note: If coolant is added using the Wiggins quick fill
system, the radiator cap MUST be removed prior to
adding coolant.
If the engine oil has been drained from the oil pan,
the new oil must be added to the engine oil pan
before starting. DO NOT use the oil in the reserve
tank to fill an empty engine with oil. After an oil
change, both engine and reserve tank must be full of
oil before starting the engine.
Reserve Oil Tank Filling Procedure (Remote fill)
1. Connect the pressure supply hose from the new
oil supply to the quick coupler on the truck.
Open valve on supply hose to apply pressure.
2. Pull out on switch (2) to turn the system ON.
2. Fill radiator with proper coolant mixture (as

specified by the engine manufacturer) until
coolant is visible in the sight gauge.
3. Push start switch (3). The "Valve Open" light (5)

should illuminate and the filling process will
begin.
3. Install radiator cap.
4. When tank is full, the "Valve Open" light will turn

OFF and the FULL light (4) will illuminate.
4. Run engine for 5 minutes, check coolant level.

5. If coolant is not visible in the sight gauge, repeat
steps 1 through 4. Any excess coolant will be
discharged through the vent hose after the
engine reaches normal operating temperature.
NOTE: Engine coolant must always be visible in
the sight gauge before truck operation.
5. Close the oil supply valve in the fill hose.

6. Press and hold start switch (3) for several seconds.
7. Disconnect the new oil supply hose.
Push switch (2) in to turn system power OFF

AUTOMATIC LUBRICATION SYSTEM

GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The Lincoln Automatic Lubrication System is a pressurized lubricant delivery system which delivers a
controlled amount of lubricant to designated lube
points. The system is controlled by an electric timer
which signals a solenoid valve to operate a hydraulic
motor powered grease pump. Hydraulic oil for pump
operation is supplied by the truck steering circuit.
Grease output is proportional to the hydraulic motor
input flow. A pump control manifold mounted on top
of the hydraulic motor (3, Figure 3-1), controls input
flow and pressure. A 24VDC Solenoid (5) mounted
on the manifold turns the pump on and off.
The pump is driven by the rotary motion of the
hydraulic motor, which is then converted to reciprocating motion through an eccentric crank mechanism. The reciprocating action causes the pump
cylinder to move up and down. The pump is a positive displacement, double-acting type as grease output occurs on both the up and the down stroke.
.
During the down stroke, the pump cylinder is

extended into the grease. Through the combination
of shovel action and vacuum generated in the pump
cylinder chamber, the grease is forced into the pump
cylinder. Simultaneously, grease is discharged
through the outlet of the pump. The volume of grease
during intake is twice the amount of grease output
during one cycle. During the upstroke, the inlet check
valve closes, and one half the grease taken in during
the previous stroke is transferred through the outlet
check and discharged to the outlet port.
Over-pressurizing of the system, modifying

parts, using incompatible chemicals and fluids,
or using worn or damaged parts, may result in
equipment damage and/or serious personal
injury.
* DO NOT exceed the stated maximum working
pressure of the pump, or of the lowest rated
component in the system.
* Do not alter or modify any part of this system
unless approved by factory authorization.
* Do not attempt to repair or disassemble the
equipment while the system is pressurized.
* Make sure all fluid connections are securely
tightened before using this equipment.
* Always read and follow the fluid manufacturer's
recommendations regarding fluid compatibility, and the use of protective clothing and
equipment.
* Check all equipment regularly and repair, or
replace, worn or damaged parts immediately.

This equipment generates very high grease pressure. Extreme caution should be used when
operating this equipment as material leaks from
loose or ruptured components can inject fluid
through the skin and into the body causing serious bodily injury including possible need for
amputation. Adequate protection is recommended to prevent splashing of material onto the
skin or into the eyes.
If any fluid appears to penetrate the skin, get
emergency medical care immediately! Do not
treat as a simple cut. Tell attending physician
exactly what fluid was injected.

SYSTEM COMPONENTS
The flow control valve has been factory adjusted

and the setting should not be disturbed.
Filter (21, Figure 3-2)

A filter assembly mounted on the grease reservoir filters the grease prior to refilling the reservoir from the
shop supply. A bypass indicator alerts service personnel when the filter requires replacement.
Hydraulic Motor and Pump (3 & 9, Figure 3-1)
Note: The pump crankcase oil level must be
maintained to the level of the pipe plug port. If
necessary, refill with 10W-30 motor oil.
Specifications are as follows:
Solenoid Valve (5, Figure 3-1)

The solenoid valve, when energized, allows oil to
flow to the hydraulic motor.
Vent Valve (7, Figure 3-1)
With the vent valve closed, the pump continues to
operate until maximum grease pressure is achieved.
As this occurs, the vent valve opens and allows the
grease pressure to drop to 0, so the injectors can
recharge for their next output cycle.

The lube cycle timer provides a 24 VDC timed-interval signal to operate the solenoid valve (5, Figure 31), causing the grease pump motor to operate. This
timer is mounted in the cab (in the housing under the
passenger seat) to insure temperature stability.
Pressure Switch (N.O. 2500 psi [17 237 kPa])(11,
Figure 3-1)
. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . @less than 2 GPM (7 L/min.) flow
The pressure switch energizes the normally closed

Unloader Valve (Not Shown)
. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . -20 to +150 F (-10 to +65 C)
The unloader valve is mounted on a "tee" fitting with

the pressure switch described above. This valve will
relieve grease pressure in the pump if pressure
exceeds 4000 psi (27.6 MPa). This valve has been
factory adjusted and is not repairable.
Pump ratio: approx. 9:1

. . @300 to 350 psi (2 068 to 2 415 kPa) oil pressure
Hydraulic oil supply inlet pressure must not

exceed 3000 psi (20 685 kPa). Exceeding the
rated pressure may result in damage to the system components and personal injury.
Grease Reservoir (12, Figure 3-1)
The reservoir has an approximate capacity of 90 lbs.
(41 kg) of grease. When the grease supply is replenished by filling the system at the service center, the
grease is passed through the filter to remove contaminants before it flows into the reservoir.
Pressure Reducing Valve (4, Figure 3-1)
The pressure reducing valve, located on the manifold
reduces the hydraulic supply pressure (from the truck
steering circuit) to a suitable operating pressure,
[325-350 psi (2 240-2 415 kPa)] for the hydraulic
motor used to drive the lubricant pump.
Flow Control Valve (10, Figure 3-1)
Pressure Gauge (8, Figure 3-1)

The pressure gauge monitors hydraulic oil pressure
to the inlet of the hydraulic motor.
Manual Override (6, Figure 3-1)
The manual override is used to actuate the hydraulic
motor to manually activate a lubrication cycle.
Injectors (23, Figure 3-2)
Each injector delivers a controlled amount of pressurized lubricant to a designated lube point. Refer to
Figure 3-2 for locations.
Pressure Switch (24, Figure 3-2)
This pressure switch will activate a Lube System Low
Pressure Warning lamp on the overhead display if
adequate grease pressure (2000 psi (13 790 kPa)) is
not attained within 1 minute.
The flow control valve mounted on the manifold, controls the amount of oil flow to the hydraulic motor.

System Operation
the reservoir to the injectors (13), through a

check valve (10) and to the vent valve (11) and
the normally open pressure switch (9).
Refer to Figure 3-3 & 3-4:

Normal Operation
1. During truck operation, with the pump and timer
systems in a rest state, a preset time interval
occurs.
2. The solid state system timer (1, Figure 3-4) provides a 24 VDC signal through the normally
closed contacts in relay RB6-K1 (12) used to
energize the pump solenoid valve (5), allowing
hydraulic oil provided by the truck steering
pump circuit to flow to the pump motor and initiate a pumping cycle.
3. The hydraulic oil pressure from the steering circuit is reduced to 325 to 350 psi (2 240 to 2 413
kPa) by the pressure reducing valve (4, Figure
3-3) before entering the motor. In addition, the
amount of oil supplied to the pump is limited by
the flow control valve (6). Pump pressure can
be read using the gauge (5) mounted on the
manifold.
4. With oil flowing into the hydraulic motor, the
grease pump will operate, pumping grease from
5. During this period, the injectors will meter the

appropriate amount of grease to each lubrication point.
6. When grease pressure reaches the pressure
switch (4, Figure 3-4) setting, the switch contacts will close and energize relay RB6-K1 (12),
removing power from the hydraulic motor/pump
solenoid (5) and the the pump will stop. The
relay will remain energized until grease pressure drops and the pressure switch opens again
or until the timer turns off.
7. After the pump solenoid valve is de-energized,
hydraulic pressure in the manifold drops and
the vent valve (11, Figure 3-3) will open, releasing grease pressure in the lines to the injector
banks. When this occurs, the injectors are then
able to recharge for the next lubrication cycle.
8. The system will remain at rest until the solid

Pressure Failure Detection Circuits

1. When the lubrication cycle is initiated, 24VDC
flows through relay RB6-K4 (8, Figure 3-4) N.C.
contacts to a 1 minute delay timer (7).
2. If the system is operating normally, grease pressure at the rear axle injector bank will rise to
pressure switch (9) setting of 2000 psi (13.8
MPa), closing the switch contacts and energizing relay RB6-K4 (8), removing 24 volts from
the delay timer. The timer is then reset and no
current will flow from the timer output terminal.
4. Once RB6-K6 is energized, it will latch and

remain latched as long as the key switch is On.
Also, RB6-K2 will remain energized and the
Low Lube Pressure Warning light will remain on
to notify the operator a problem exists and the
system requires service.
5. The warning circuits are reset when the key
switch is turned Off.
3. If a problem occurs and the system is not able to

attain 2000 psi (13.8 MPa), the delay timer (7)
will energize relay RB6-K2 after 60 seconds,
turning on the Low Lube System Pressure
warning lamp on the overhead display. After
RB6-K2 energizes, it will ground the coil of
RB6-K6 and allow it to energize.

INJECTOR OPERATION
STAGE 1.
The injector piston (2) is in its normal or "rest" position. The discharge chamber (3) is filled with lubricant from the previous cycle. Under the pressure
of incoming lubricant (6), the slide valve (5) is
about to open the passage (4) leading to the measuring chamber (1) above the injector piston (2).
STAGE 2.
When the slide valve (5) uncovers the passage (4),
lubricant (6) is admitted to the measuring chamber
(1) above the injector piston (2) which forces lubricant from the discharge chamber (3) through the
outlet port (7) to the bearing.
STAGE 3.
As the injector piston (2) completes its stroke, it
pushes the slide valve (5) past the passage (4),
cutting off further admission of lubricant (6) to the
passage (4) and measuring chamber (1). The
injector piston (2) and slide valve (5) remain in this
position until lubricant pressure in the supply line
(6) is vented.
STAGE 4.
After venting, the injector spring expands, causing
the slide valve (5) to move, so that the passage (4)
and discharge chamber (3) are connected by a
valve port (8). Further expansion of the spring
causes the piston to move upward, forcing the
lubricant in the measuring chamber (1) through the
passage (4) and valve port (8) to refill the discharge chamber (3).
Injector is now ready for the next cycle.

P03022
GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS
LUBRICANT REQUIRED FOR SYSTEM
Grease requirements will depend on ambient temperatures encountered during truck operation:
Above 90F (32C) - Use
multipurpose grease (MPG).
NLGI
No.2
-25 to 90F (-32 to 32C) - Use NLGI No. 1

multipurpose grease (MPG).
Below -25F (-32C) - Refer to local supplier for
extreme cold weather lubricant requirements.
SYSTEM PRIMING
The system must be full of grease and free of air
pockets to function properly. After maintenance, if the
primary or secondary lubrication lines were replaced,
it will be necessary to prime the system to eject all
entrapped air.
1. Fill lube reservoir with lubricant, if necessary.
2. To purge air from the main supply line, remove
the main supply line (2, Figure 3-1) at the pump
outlet port and connect an external grease supply to the line.
3. Remove plugs from each injector group in
sequence (right front, left front, and rear axle).
4. Using the external grease source, pump grease
until grease appears at the group of injectors
and re-install the pipe plug. Repeat for remaining injector groups.
5. Remove the caps from each injector and connect an external grease supply to the zerk on
the injector and pump until grease appears at
the far end of the individual grease hose or the
joint being greased.

LUBRICANT PUMP
Pump Housing Oil Level
The pump housing must be filled to the proper level
with SAE 10W-30 motor oil. Oil level should be
checked at 1000 hour intervals. To add oil, remove
pipe plug (4, Figure 3-6) and fill housing to bottom of
plug hole.
Pump Pressure Control
High pressure hydraulic fluid from the truck steering
system is reduced to 325 to 350 psi (2 240 to 2 413
kPa) by the pressure reducing valve located on the
manifold on top of the pump motor. This pressure
can be read on the gauge (3, Figure 3-6) installed on
the manifold and should be checked occasionally to
verify pressure is within the above limits.
FIGURE 3-6. PUMP CONTROLS

1. Pump Pressure Control
2. Manual Override Knob
3. Pressure Gauge
Pressure Control Valve Adjustment
4. Oil Level Plug

1. With the truck engine running, actuate the manual override (2, Figure 3-6) to start the hydraulic
motor and grease pump.
2. Loosen the locknut on the pressure control (1,
Figure 3-6) by turning the nut counterclockwise.
3. Turn the valve stem counterclockwise until it no
longer turns. (The valve stem will unscrew until
it reaches the stop - it will not come off.)
Note: This is the minimum pressure setting, which is
about 170 psi (1 172 kPa).
4. With the pump stalled against pressure, turn the
pressure control valve stem clockwise until 325
to 350 psi (2 240 to 2 413 kPa) is attained on
the manifold pressure gauge (3).
5. Tighten the locknut to lock the stem in position.
Note: The flow control valve (5) is factory adjusted to
2.5 GPM (9.5 L/min.). Do not change this setting.

P03022
INJECTORS (SL-1 Series "H")

Injector Specifications
Each lube injector services only one grease
point. In case of pump malfunction, each injector
is equipped with a covered grease fitting to allow
the use of external lubricating equipment.
Injector output is adjustable:
Maximum output = 0.08 in (1.31 cc).
Minimum output = 0.008 in (0.13 cc).
Operating Pressure:
Minimum - 1850 psi (12 755 kPa)
Maximum - 3500 psi (24 133 kPa)
Recommended - 2500 psi (17 238 kPa)
Maximum Vent Pressure - (Recharge)
600 psi (4 137 kPa)
Injector Adjustment
The injectors may be adjusted to supply from 0.008
in to 0.08 in (0.13 cc to 1.31 cc) of lubricant per
injection cycle. The injector piston travel distance
determines the amount of lubricant supplied. This
travel is in turn controlled by an adjusting screw in
the top of the injector housing.
Turn the adjusting screw (1, Figure 3-7) counterclockwise to increase lubricant amount delivered and
clockwise to decrease the lubricant amount.
When the injector is not pressurized, maximum injector delivery volume is attained by turning the adjusting screw (1) fully counterclockwise until the
indicating pin (8) just touches the adjusting screw. At
the maximum delivery point, about 0.38 inch (9.7
mm) adjusting screw threads should be showing.
Decrease the delivered lubricant amount by turning
the adjusting screw clockwise to limit injector piston
travel. If only half the lubricant is needed, turn the
adjusting screw to the point where about 0.19 inch
(4.8 mm) threads are showing. The injector will be
set at minimum delivery point with about 0.009 inch
(0.22 mm) thread showing.

P3-9
SYSTEM CHECKOUT
To check system operation (not including timer), proceed as follows:
1. Turn keyswitch "ON" and start the engine.
2. Actuate the manual override (6, Figure 3-1) on
the end of the solenoid valve.
3. The pump should operate and the system
should build grease pressure.
4. When the pump stalls, release the manual override knob and motor should turn off. The vent
valve should open to vent grease pressure from
the injector bank feeder lines.
24 VDC TIMER CHECK

To check the timer operation without waiting for the
normal timer setting, proceed as follows:
FIGURE 3-8. TIMER (TOP COVER REMOVED)

1. Timer Enclosure
2. Red LED (Light Emitting Diode)
3. Timer Selector
1. Remove timer dust cover.

NOTE: The timer incorporates a liquid and dust tight
cover which must be in place and secured at all times
during truck operation.
2. Adjust timer selector (3, Figure 3-8) to 5 minute
interval setting.
3. The timer should cycle in five minutes if the truck
is operating.
NOTE: If the timer check is being made on a cold
start, the first cycle will be approximately double the
nominal setting. All subsequent cycles should be
within the selected time tolerance.
4. Voltage checks at the timer should be accomplished if the above checks do not identify the
problem.
a. Insure timer ground connection is clean and
tight.
Lubrication Cycle Timer Adjustment

The timer is factory set for a nominal 2.5 minute (off
time) interval. Dwell time is approximately 1 minute,
15 seconds. A longer interval (off time) is obtained by
turning the Selector knob (3, Figure 3-8) to the
desired position.
NOTE: Set timer by turning the Selector knob (3) to
the 2.5 minute setting point. Then, turn the Selector
clockwise, one detent at a time, to the desired
setting, or until the maximum limit of eighty minutes
is reached.
The timer is a sealed unit, do not attempt disassembly.
b. Using a Volt-Ohm meter, read the voltage

between positive and negative posts on the
solid state timer with the truck keyswitch
"ON".
Normal reading should be 18-26 VDC,
depending upon whether or not the engine is
running.

SYSTEM TROUBLESHOOTING CHART

If the following procedures do not correct the problem, contact a factory authorized service center.
POSSIBLE CAUSES
TROUBLE: Pump Does Not Operate

Lube system not grounded.
Correct grounding connections to pump assembly and

truck chassis.
Electrical power loss.
Locate cause of power loss and repair. 24 VDC power

required. Be sure keyswitch is "ON".
Timer malfunction.
Replace timer assembly
Solenoid valve malfunctioning.
Replace the solenoid valve assembly
Relay malfunctioning
Replace relay
Motor or pump malfunction.
Replace motor and/or pump assembly

NOTE: On initial start-up of the lube system, the

Clean or replace vent valve.
Pump worn or scored.
Repair or replace pump assembly.
TROUBLE: Injector Indicator Stem Does Not Operate

NOTE: Normally, during operation, the injector indicator stem will move into the body of the injector when
pressure builds properly. When the system vents (pressure release) the indicator stem will again move out into
the adjusting yoke.
P3-14
Malfunctioning injector - usually indicated by the pump

building pressure and then venting.
Replace individual injector assembly.
All injectors inoperative - pump build up not sufficient

to cycle injectors.
Service and/or replace pump assembly.
P03022
POSSIBLE CAUSES
TROUBLE: Pressure Gauge Does Not Register Pressure

No system pressure to the pump motor.
Check hydraulic hose from steering system.
No 24 VDC signal at pump solenoid.
Determine problem in 24 VDC electric system.
Pressure reducing valve set too low.
Refer to "Pressure Control Valve Adjustment".
24V Relay may be defective.
Replace relay.
TROUBLE: Pump Pressure Builds Very Slowly Or Not At All

No signal at 24V relay.
Check Timer.
Pressure switch may be defective
Replace pressure switch.
Pressure reducing valve may be set too low.
Refer to "Pressure Control Valve Adjustment".
Grease viscosity may be too high for temperature at

which pump is operating.
Replace grease with a lower viscosity lubricant.
Pump inlet check or outlet check may have foreign

matter trapped causing leakage.
Remove, inspect and clean, if necessary.Inspect sealing surfaces between checks. Replace if rough or pitted.
Lubricant supply line leaks or is broken.
Repair lubricant supply line
Insufficient hydraulic oil supply.
Check oil pressure and flow to motor.
TROUBLE: 24VDC Timer Not Operating

Timer BAT (-) connection is not on grounded member.
Connect to good ground.
Timer BAT (+) connection not on circuit continuously

connected to BAT (+) terminal during operation of
vehicle.
Establish direct connection between Timer BAT (+)

connection and 24 V BAT (+) terminal.
Loose wire connections at any of the timer terminals.
Secure wire connections.
TROUBLE: Timer Stays Timed Out

Commutation failure in timer caused by damaged
component.
Replace Timer.
Output relay contacts welded shut caused by

extended short to ground.
Replace Timer
Solenoid valve connected to LUBE SW terminal of

timer instead of terminal marked SOL.
Correct wiring hook-up.
P03022
P3-15
POSSIBLE CAUSES
TROUBLE: Timer Turns On At Intervals Two (2) To Ten (10) Times More Often Than Set Time Interval
Electrical noise is being introduced into the power
supply to the timer overcoming suppressor capacitor
causing uncontrolled turn-on of its output relay.
IMPORTANT: In some instances, electrical noise

may be generated into vehicle electrical system
which may cause timer to turn on at random intervals, independent of timer setting.
If this occurs, a 250 to 1,000 MFD capacitor rated
150 to 350 VDC should be added across BAT (+)
and BAT (-) terminals to suppress this noise and
improve timer performance.
TROUBLE: Timer Turns On At Intervals Faster Than Allowable Tolerances Of Settings

Timer out of adjustment or damaged component.
P3-16
Refer to "Timer Adjustment and re-adjust timer or

replace timer.
P03022
Preventative Maintenance Procedures

The following maintenance procedures should be
used to insure proper system operation.
Daily Lubrication System Inspection
1. Check grease reservoir level.
Inspect grease level height after each shift of
operation. Grease usage should be consistent
from day-to-day operations.
Lack of lubricant usage would indicate an
inoperative system. Excessive usage would
indicate a broken supply line.
2. Check filter bypass indicator when filling reservoir. Replace element if bypassing.
3. Check all grease feed line hoses from the SL-1
Injectors to the lubrication points.
a. Repair or replace all damaged feed line
hoses.
b. Make sure that all air is purged and all new
feed line hoses are filled with grease before
sending the truck back into service.
4. Inspect key lubrication points for a bead of lubricant around seal. If a lubrication point appears
dry, troubleshoot and repair problem.
250 Hour Inspection
1. Check all grease feed line hoses from the SL-1
Injectors to the lubrication points (see, Figure 32).
a. Repair or replace all worn / broken feed line
hoses.
feed line hoses are filled with grease before
sending the truck back into service.
2. Check all grease supply line hoses from the
pump to the SL-1 injectors.
a. Repair or replace all worn / broken supply
lines.
supply line hoses are filled with grease
before sending the truck back into service.
3. Check grease reservoir level.
It is good practice to manually lube each bearing point at the grease fitting provided on each
Injector. This will indicate if there are any frozen
or plugged bearings, and will help flush the
bearings of contaminants.
5. System Checkout
a. Remove all SL-1 injector cover caps to allow
visual inspection of the injector cycle indicator pins during system operation.
b. Start truck engine.
c. Lift the passenger seat and connect a
jumper wire between "SOL" and "LUBE SW"
on the lube cycle timer or activate test switch
if installed. The hydraulic grease pump
should operate.
d. Keep the system activated until the pump
stalls out or the pressure switch closes.
e. With the pump in the stalled-out mode,
check each SL-1 injector assembly. The
cycle indicator pin should be retracted inside
the injector body.
f. Once all of the SL-1 injectors have been
inspected under pressure remove the jumper
wire between the "SOL" terminal and "LUBE
SW" terminal on the timer assembly or open
test switch. The pump should shut off and
the pressure in the system should drop to
zero, venting back to the grease reservoir.
g. With the system vented, check all of the SL-1
injector indicator pins; all of the pins should
be visible. Replace or repair injectors, if
defective.
h. Reinstall all injector cover caps.
i. Check timer operation.
Note: With engine running, lube system should
activate within 5 minutes. The system should build
2000 to 2500 psi within 25-40 seconds.
j. If the system is working properly, the
machine is ready for operation.
k. If the system is malfunctioning, refer to the
troubleshooting chart.
a. Fill reservoir if low.

b. Check reservoir for contaminants. Clean, if
required.
c. Check that all filler plugs, covers and
breather vents on the reservoir are intact and
free of contaminants.
P03022
4. Inspect all bearing points for a bead of lubricant

around the bearing seal.
1000 Hour Inspection

1. Check pump housing oil level.
