dangerous when operating or maintaining a machine.

Where possible, only work on or close to engines or machinery when they are stopped. If this
is not practical, remember to keep tools, test equipment and all parts of your body well away
from moving parts.

Avoid contact with exhaust pipes and exhaust manifolds when the engine is running; these
can be very hot.

Many liquids used on this machine are harmful if taken internally or splashed into the eyes. In
the event of accidentally swallowing oil, diesel fuel, anti-freeze, battery acid etc., DO NOT
induce vomiting, but OBTAIN QUALIFIED MEDICAL ASSISTANCE IMMEDIATELY.

Always obtain advice before mixing oils; some are incompatible.

Never run an engine in an enclosed space unless an exhaust extraction system is used.

Always disconnect battery cables before working on the electrical system to prevent injury
caused by electric shock.

When it is necessary to work on the electrical system with power on, for fault diagnosis,
always have a safety man in attendance

Any dust found on the machine or produced during work on the machine should be removed
by extraction, not by blowing. Dust waste should be dampened, placed in a sealed container
and marked for safe disposal.

X = (conical distance to be measured)


A = (measured value)
B = (known value) = 100 mm

STEERING
Description

The steering system is fully hydrostatic. This means


that the steering motion is transmitted hydraulically
with no mechanical linkage between the steering
wheel and the steered wheels. The hydraulic supply
is by a dynamic system working with a load-sensing
(LS) pump. Pump supply passes through a priority
valve and generates a load-sensing signal.

Operation

The steering unit (OSPF) interfaces the steering


control valve with an adapter. Depending on the
steering mode selected in the cab, (two-wheel steer/
four-wheel steer/crab steer), the steering control
valve directs oil to the selected steering cylinder
when input is made from the steering wheel. C1 To rear cylinder
C2 To rear cylinder
In the neutral position, oil is allowed to flow freely
C4 To front cylinder
from the priority valve through the steering control
valve to return (LS to T). As the steering wheel is P STAC valve from LS pump
turned the spools of the valve rotate against each T Hydraulic tank
other and proportionally direct oil to the selected
steering cylinder. Not until the rotary valve is fully
open is the LS connection to the hydraulic tank fully
closed.

A pressure relief valve is fitted in the control valve. If


the pressure rises above 175 bar (2537 psi), the
PRV will open and return excess pressure to the
hydraulic tank.

Two shock valves are fitted in the control valve, to


protect the cylinders and hoses and are set at a
higher pressure than the PRV.

When hydraulic pressure fails, the vehicle can be


steered manually. The steering wheel, when turned,
drives the outer spool with the cross pin and the
rotor is turned by the cardan shaft which acts as a
manual pump to supply oil to the steering cylinder. In
this case the steering effort required will be
increased significantly.

component change and when air in the system is
suspected. Air in the system will not allow the brakes
to release properly and may cause damage.

1. Start the engine and allow the accumulator to fully


charge.

2. Stop the engine.

3. Slowly apply and release brakes until they will not


apply, waiting for one minute between applications.
Repeat this operation three times.

4. Start the engine and allow the accumulator to fully


charge then stop the engine. Operate the engine as
necessary to maintain accumulator at working
pressure throughout the bleeding procedure.

5. Attach a bleed tube to the bleed screw on the


brake unit nearest to the brake valve (front right) and
put the bleed tube into a suitable container. Carefully
open bleed screw, apply brakes until all air is bled
out of line then close bleed screw and remove bleed
tube. Bleed the other brake units and the trailer
brake valve in the order that follows:

DESCRIPTION

The machine is fitted with a side mounted Perkins


1004.42 4.2 litre direct injection diesel engine.

The engine cooling system is by a gear driven water


pump on the engine and a rear mounted radiator. The
radiator is cooled by a fan, which is driven by a V-belt
by a hydraulic motor. A thermostat controls the
temperature of the coolant in the engine.

Fuel is supplied from an 85 litre tank, located below


the cab, to a pre-filter (water separator) then a
cartridge filter. The pre-filter has a drain tap fitted. The
cartridge filter is a replaceable item, only use genuine
Perkins filters.

Induction air passes through a pre-cleaner (externally


mounted) and then two filter elements. A filter
blockage sensor is fitted to the air cleaner body and
lights a warning indicator in the cab when the filter
requires cleaning. The engine must not be operated
when the warning indicator is illuminated.

The engine and transmission hydrostatic pump


should always be removed as an assembly

DESCRIPTION

Hydrostatic system - (up to Machines


S/No.50600162 only)

NOTE: The numbers in brackets refer to the equivalent


item on the hydraulic circuit diagrams in the Hydraulic
and Electrical Servicing manual.

The hydrostatic transmission system consists of an


engine mounted variable displacement pump (55) and
an axle mounted displacement motor (66) controlled
by the hydrostatic electronic control unit (SUSMIC).
The hydrostatic drive enables smooth and accurate
handling of loads.

The hydrostatic circuit is independent of the hydraulic


system, using the same oil supplly from the hydraulic
tank (1).

Oil from the hydraulic tank (1) is pumped by the


auxilliary hydraulic pump (3), through the fan motor
(7), pressure relief valve (8) and filter (9) to the
hydrostatic pump (55), which controls the flow of oil
to the hydrostatic motor (66). Oil is returned from the
hydrostatic pump (55) to the hydraulic tank (1)
through a non-return valve (6). Oil is also returned
from the hydrostatic motor (66) to the hydraulic oil
tank (1) through an oil cooler (72).

The hydrostatic pump (55) is a non-feedback


electrical proportional, engine driven pump with no
mechanical feedback.

The pump (55) houses a charge circuit pressure relief


valve (56) and two proportional pressure reducing
valves (57), which control forwards and reverse motion
through a servo ram that directs the pump
swashplate.

Two multifunction valves (58) and (62) are housed in


the pump. One functions as a pressure limiter valve,
which prevents hydrostatic pump output overpressure
by regulating back the steering pump swashplate
servo ram, if the pressure reaches the maximum set
value.

The second multi function valve operates as a loop


flushing valve, which prevents low oil level in the
hydrostatic circuit. If the pressure in the low-pressure
side of the circuit falls below a set value of the charge
pressure, charge oil is passed into the circuit
compensating for leakage. Losses occur through
normal leaks in the pump components and through
the purge valve in the motor.

An overpressure relief valve relieves overpressure on


the high pressure side of the system caused by
pressure peaks due to external forces acting on the
drive.
3.2 TRANSMISSION

Manually operated bypass valves (59) enable the


vehicle to be moved without the pump running. Both
by-pass valves must be fully opened to maintain the
by-pass function.

The direction of rotation of the hydrostatic motor (66)


is controlled by supply pressure from the hydrostatic
pump (55).

The motor (66) houses an servo control cylinder (67)


that controls the motor swash plate angle.

The loop flushing valve (68) allows circuit cooling of


the high-pressure circuit and removal of
contamination. It is also equipped with a purge
pressure relief valve (69).

The brake pressure defeat valve (70) is a change over


valve that is actuated by respective position pressure
and provides high pressure to the pressure
compensator override.

This controller regulates the constant pressure for the


motor capacity depending on high pressure. When
high pressure remains below control pressure the
adjusting unit maintains the position for minimum
motor capacity. If high pressure exceeds the
pressure setting its affect on the adjusting unit
causes motor capacity to increase, which increases
torque with a corresponding reduction in the speed of
the motor shaft.

Mounted on the pressure compensator override is a


solenoid valve (71). A 12 Volt power supply is applied
through the SUSMIC module to the solenoid operated
valve, when the speed limiter in the twist grip is
selected. The motor remains at max. capacity and
maintains the lower speed range of 8 Km/h.

Hydrostatic system - (from Machines


S/No.50600163 only)

The hydrostatic transmission system is similar in


design and operation, except that oil from the
hydraulic tank (1) is pumped by the auxilliary
hydraulic pump (3) through the fan reverse valve (79)

TRANSMISSION 3.5

OPERATION

Hydrostatic Pump (55)

When the engine is running it rotates the drive shaft (3)


which operates the radially arranged cylinder rotors (1)
and piston rods (2). The piston rods (2) and slides (4)
are forced onto the swashplate (5) by oil pressure from
the engine mounted charge pump.

The servo valve (6) controls the servo ram (7) to deflect
the swashplate (5) to control direction of travel and
speed. During this procedure the piston rods (2) rotate
around the drive shaft (3). Oil is forced out of the filled
cylinder space at pressure by the angled swashplate
(5) depressing the piston rods (2).

The piston rods (2) continue around the drive shaft on


the inclined swashplate (5) where they are filled on the
low-pressure side by charge pressure oil from the
charge pump.

The servo valve (6) controls the servo ram (7) to act on
the swashplate (5) which is then moved to exchange
the high and low pressure sides

The ground speed is dependent on the volume of oil and


on the swashplate (5) angle. The SUSMIC senses the
engine speed and then controls the solenoid valve
mounted on the servo valve (6) to control the servo ram
(7) and also controls the constant pressure regulator to
regulate the swashplate angle in the hydrostatic motor.

The base (8) separates the high and low-pressure sides


in the pump unit. For sealing purposes the cylindrical
rotor (1) is pressed against the base (8) by spring
pressure.

The accurate return of the swashplate (5) to the neutral


position is achieved by springs (9). The alignment of the
mechanical neutral position is carried out by means of
the eccentric screws (10).

Pressure relief valve (56)

The charge pressure relief valve housed in the


hydrostatic pump maintains a pressure of 30 bar. This
pressure is measured against the housing pressure
and set whilst at a speed of 1500 rpm and at a neutral
setting.

The type plate on the pump specifies the pressure


relief valve setting. The charge pressure is adjusted by
means of a setscrew. One turn of the setscrew
corresponds to approx. 3.5 bar.

Proportional pressure reducing valve (57)

The proportional pressure reducing valve mounted on


the servo valve controls position pressure. This position
pressure is internally transferred to the pump servo ram
to operate the swashplate and the constant pressure 1. Pressure relief valve
regulator in the hydrostatic motor. 2. Servo valves with solenoid valves
3. Multi-function valves

Multi function valves (58)

The pump contains a multi-function valve for each side


of the drive circuit that acts as a purge valve, pressure
relief valve and over pressure valve according to which
side of the circuit it is operating on.

Pressure relief valve (60)

On the high pressure side the pressure relief valve


regulates the steering pump if the pressure reaches the
maximum value set.

If the max. pressure (approx. 480 ± 10 bar) is reached


the pressure relief valve (1) lifts off its seat against the
compressive force of the spring. This allows oil to be
fed via the outlet (3) to the servo ram to regulate the
pump.

The pressure relief valve (1) can be adjusted with


setscrew (4). To adjust the pressure relief valve loosen
the locknut on the multi-function valve and turn the
setscrew (4). One turn of the setscrew corresponds to 1. Pressure relief valve
approx. 93 bar. 2. Charge pressure
3. Outlet to servo ram
4. Setscrew for pressure relief valve
3.8 TRANSMISSION

In the low-pressure circuit if the pressure falls below the


set value of the charge pressure (6), the charge
pressure displaces the purge valve (5) to the left against
the spring force. This causes charge oil to flow into the
circuit to compensate for fluid losses.

Normal internal leaks in the pump components and the


purging valve in the hydrostatic steering motor cause oil
loss.

5. Purge valve
6. Charge pressure

Over pressure valve

On the high-pressure side of the system an over


pressure valve acts to protect the system from high-
pressure peaks. These can occur when external forces
affect the drive.

The high pressure (7) displaces the pressure relief valve


(1) against the spring force, which results in a pressure
drop in the spring chamber. The high pressure
overcomes the spring force and displaces the over
pressure valve (8) to the left. The high-pressure oil can
flow through the charge circuit into the low-pressure side
of the circuit (return).

The over pressure valve (8) opens if the high pressure

side of the closed circuit rises above the set value of

approx. 530 bar.
TRANSMISSION 3.9

Bypass valve function (59)

The by-pass function is included in the multi function


valve and allows the vehicle to be moved without the
pump operating. For example, an unserviceable
vehicle may be moved to a service location or
winched onto a trailer without operating the
transmission system.

When working on the by-pass valves


ensure the drive is off and there is no
pressure in the high-pressure
system. Both by-pass valves must
be open to maintain the by-pass
function.
Bypass valves are intended for moving 9. Main body
a vehicle for very short distances at 10. By-pass adjuster

for use as towing valves.

Setting the by-pass function

Do not open the by-pass valve more


than 3½ turns otherwise pressure
system fluid will escape.

1. Hold the main body (9) (large hexagon) of the valve


with an open-ended spanner and turn the by-pass
adjuster (10) (middle sized hexagon) counter
clockwise three turns to open the by-pass valve fully.

2. Resetting is the reverse of the setting procedure.

3. Torque load the by-pass adjuster nut to 41 Nm (30


lbf/ft.).

4. Carry out a test of the Transmission system using


the procedure laid down at the end of this section.
3.10 TRANSMISSION

Hydrostatic motor (66)

The hydraulic motor uses spherical pistons (1) and


piston rings. The angle between the cylinder block (2)
and the output shaft (3) can be adjusted between 32°
and 6°, providing a 5 to 1 maximum to minimum
displacement ratio.

At maximum displacement the motor achieves its


maximum output torque with minimum speed,
dependant on pressure and flow from the pump.

At minimum displacement and the same input


conditions the shaft speed increases 5-fold, whilst
the output torque reduces to one fifth of the maximum
capacity.

The displacement is changed by servo piston (4)


connected to the valve segment (5).

Charge pressure is directed from the pump solenoid


operated servo valve to the combined travel direction
and constant pressure regulator valve (6) in the motor
head.

Servo pressure directs pump output pressure through


the travel directional valve and through the constant
pressure regulator (6) to the piston (4) to control the
motor displacement.

Solenoid valve (7) controls speed range selection


from 0-8 km/h or 0-20 km/h (or higher in country
speed).

A synchronising shaft (8) with spherical rollers


synchronises the rotation of the output shaft (3) and
the cylinder block (2). The ball end of each piston
runs in a socket bush, pressed into the output shaft.
No other parts are used to connect the output shaft
to the pistons. The output shaft is supported by two
taper roller bearings (9).

SECTION 4

BOOM
BOOM 4.1

DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION


DESCRIPTION

The machine has a two section telescopic boom.


Each section consists of a box section with the inner
section moving inside the outer section.

The boom is controlled using the ‘Quattro’ control


handle located in the cab.

The inner section can be extended to any position


from fully retracted to fully extended. The boom
position is limited, depending on the weight being
carried, boom angle and boom extension.

To prevent an overload, the machine is fitted with an


overload indicator, located in the cab. The overload
indicator gives a progressive indication of load on the
rear axle to warn the operator when the machine is
nearing its safe working load.

To ensure the inner section operates smoothly, non-


metallic wear pads are fitted between the inner and
outer sections, at the front of the outer boom and the
rear of the inner boom.

The boom operations consist of:


• lift/lower
• extend/retract
• carriage crowd back/tip forward.

The carriage is fitted to the front of the inner boom


section and carries the attachments. The
attachments are secured to the carriage by a locking
mechanism, which is either manually or hydraulically
operated.

A cassette tray is fitted inside the inner boom to


house the hydraulic pipes for the crowd cylinder and
the forward services.
4.2 BOOM

OPERATION

The ‘Quattro’ handle in the cab operates all boom


services.

The carriage crowd cylinder is hydraulically


connected to the compensator cylinder. Oil is
transferred between the crowd and compensator
cylinders during the lifting/lowering of the boom to
make sure the carriage stays at the same angle to
the ground throughout the arc of the lift. This works
independently of the crowd function, which allows the
carriage to be rolled forwards or backwards.

The extension cylinder is fitted inside the inner boom.


The forward end is secured to the inner boom and the
rear end is secured to the outer boom.

When the boom is operated, the hydraulic hoses for


the front auxiliary services and the crowd cylinder are
withdrawn from the cassette to allow the boom to
extend.

The front auxiliary services are connected to a


manifold on the left side of the inner boom drop-down
link and are connected, by flexible pipes to the
carriage.

A joystick lockout lever is provided to give the


following facilities:

• Lockout the carriage tilt function,


preventing accidental operation and
allowing safe maintenance platform
operation. To lock out, push in the lever
whilst slightly moving the joystick until it
locks side to side

• To disable all boom functions pull out


the lever until it locks completely and
select the rotary isolator switch to boom
extend/retract and auxiliary functions
lockout position.

• A Joystick/Boom control isolator rotary


switch, in the cab, gives the following
facilities:

• To prevent operation of the carriage


locking pins when attachments are fitted
to the carriage

• To prevent all boom and auxiliary


hydraulic functions.
