Do not pour oil or fluids in the ground, down drains or into containers that can leak.
Dispose of all old fluids, lubricants and filters in accordance with local regulations.
Check with your local environment recycling center or your dealer for correct information.
Use ONLY water, mild soap and a soft cloth when you clean these parts. Using gasoline, paraffin, paint thinner
etc., will cause discoloration, cracking or deformation of the part being cleaned.
WARNING: To prevent eye injury, always wear goggles or full face protection before using
compressed air or high pressure washers.
NOTE: The oil level dipstick is only a guide, when you fill the engine crankcase with oil always measure the

Engine Oil Selection
Case No. 1 Multi-Viscosity Engine Oil is recommended
for use in your Case engine. Case Engine Oil will

* Use of an engine oil heater, or an engine coolant heater, is required in these areas.
COOLANT SOLUTIONS
Your sprayer cooling system is equipped with an ethylene glycol coolant solution that has a high boiling point.
IMPORTANT:Change the coolant solution at the change interval recommended. The heat generated by the
diesel engine causes a natural change in the inhibitors in the coolant which results in loss of corrosion
protection. The loss of the inhibitors may cause water pump cavitation and cylinder block erosion.
Install only ethylene glycol coolant solution in the cooling system. Use a good quality, high boiling point,
ethylene glycol that does not have any additives to stop leaks. The silicate content must not exceed 0.1
percent. (Use Case Coolant part number 331- 511).
Do not install any rust inhibitors that are not approved. It is possible that the rust inhibitors and ethylene glycol
will not mix and work against each other to decrease corrosion protection, form deposits in the cooling system
and cause damage to the cooling system and the radiator.
Do not use a low boiling point, alcohol type coolant solution. Because the boiling point of alcohol is below the
sprayer minimum operating temperature, loss of coolant from evaporation can be excessive.
IMPORTANT:Always have a minimum of 50 percent ethylene glycol coolant in the cooling system at all times
and at all ambient temperature ranges. Do not install more than 50 percent ethylene glycol in the cooling
system unless the ambient air temperature will be less than -34°F (-37°C). More than 50 percent ethylene
glycol decreases heat transfer and will cause the engine surface temperature to be more than normal.
1. Mix 1 pint (0.45 L) Case water conditioner (part # B91245) with 3 gallons (11.4 L) of clean water.
2. Mix this water solution with 3 gallons (11.4 L) of ethylene glycol coolant.
3. Mix remaining coolant 50% anti-freeze to 50% clean water ratio.
HYDRAULIC SYSTEM
Hydraulic Oil
WARNING: Extreme caution must be used when working adjacent to and with high pressure
hydraulic oil lines. If any oil is injected into the skin, it is absolutely essential that the injured person
seek immediate medical care from a facility that is familiar with this type of injury or permanent injury
may result.
The use of approved oil in the hydraulic system is essential for satisfactory system operation. Keep the
hydraulic oil in the original closed containers. Clean the top of container before opening and pouring. Use a
clean funnel with built in strainer and use extreme care to keep dirt out of the system.
The hydraulic system, i.e. tank, lines, wheel motors, hydrostatic pumps on your vehicle requires approximately
25 gallons of oil.
IMPORTANT: In any instance when the level of oil in the hydraulic oil tank falls below the safe operating level,
a hydraulic hose fails, or a hydraulic leak develops, IMMEDIATELY shut off the engine and do not restart until
oil levels are restored to operating levels.
NOTE: It is best not to mix hydraulic oil from different manufacturers. It is far better to mix however, than run
your vehicle with low level of oil. Mixed oil should be completely changed as soon as possible using the
recommended oils specified above. Your applicator came from the factory filled with oil as marked on tag on
filler neck or ignition key.

P0002024
New oil purchased either in bulk or in sealed containers does not meet the cleanliness standards required to
insure satisfactory operation and prolonged life of hydrostatic components. Therefore, it is recommended that
new oil be pumped into the reservoir through the return filter, center fitting.
The vehicle's filtration system is a very effective one, and can be utilized to clean the hydraulic oil after the
hydraulic system has been opened up for repair or after adding or changing the hydraulic oil. This will minimize
the risk of contamination damage. Run the machine for at least 1 hour under light load, after changing the
hydraulic fluid.
IMPORTANT: It is of utmost importance when working on any hydraulic system to keep the components and
surrounding area being serviced as clean as possible. Pressure wash all mud, grease, oil, and dirt off the area
to be opened up and serviced. Before loosening and removing hydraulic fittings and hoses, spray the
immediate area around the fittings with a pressure washer. If an aerosol degreaser such as brake cleaner or
carburetor cleaner are used, (these are flammable fluids) do not smoke and only use in a well ventilated area.
Have threaded plugs and/or caps of the proper size in hand to install immediately. Do not leave hoses or
hydraulic components exposed.
NOTE: Only use hydraulic oil filters that meet or exceed the Micron and Beta Ratio specified by Case IH
Application Equipment. Filters used on Case IH Application Equipment machines that fall below the
specifications may void the hydraulic system warranty depending on individual circumstances. It is highly
recommended to use Case IH Application Equipment supplied filters as we continually monitor our filter
manufacturers for quality.
1. Replace the in-tank filter and the two hydrostatic charge filters.
2. After new filters are installed, start engine and run at 1800 rpm with vehicle in neutral. Cycle all cylinders 5
times and turn the steering wheel lock to lock. Run the product pump for 5 minutes if repair was done to its
circuit (be sure there is water in the liquid tank). This will move any contamination debris to the tank.
3. Allow engine to run at 1800 rpm with the vehicle in neutral for 30 minutes to warm the system and clean
the oil in the tank.

NOTE: Be sure to completely read through the Maintenance section. There are important warnings and notes
that apply to the items above.
10 HOURS OR DAILY
Machine Maintenance
WARNING: Fertilizer is very corrosive and will oxidize steel over a period of time. This weakens
steel parts and can cause possible safety hazards. Periodically check safety shields and structural
members for corrosion. Replace or repair anything that could cause a potential safety hazard.
Regular daily cleaning will contribute more to the life of the vehicle than any other single maintenance effort.
Any accumulation of chemical or fertilizer will cause rapid corrosion. High pressure water is one of the most
effective cleaning agents.
Liquid Tank
WARNING: Follow chemical manufacturers and State and Federal EPA instructions for proper
handling, transportation and disposal of fertilizer and chemical residue.
Wash the machine and clean the liquid tank inside and
out after each days use.
Cab Maintenance
• Floor areas should be kept clean from foreign material. Periodic sweeping and/or vacuuming of the floor or
coverings is recommended.
• Headliners and inside wall cowlings should be periodically wiped clean with a cloth, vacuumed or other-
wise cleaned.
• It is recommended that the exterior of your vehicle that has been exposed to pesticides during field applica-
tions should be washed down to reduce the potential of operators coming in contact with the pesticides.
• Disposition of wash water containing hazardous concentrations of active/inert ingredients should be han-
dled according to published regulations or directives.
Fuel Tank
Fill the fuel tank at the end of each days use, to prevent
condensation from forming in the tanks. Tank capacity is
140 gallons.
If you keep fuel in storage for a period of time, you can get foreign material or water in the fuel storage tank.
Many engine problems are caused by water in the fuel. Keep the fuel storage tank outside and keep the fuel as
cool as possible. Remove water from the fuel storage tank at regular intervals.
WARNING: Be careful when filling fuel tanks. Never fill fuel tank when engine is hot or running. Do
not allow smoking or open flame near machine while filling fuel tanks.
NOTE: Different grades of diesel fuel are required for summer and winter operations. See your fuel supplier
for winter fuel requirements in your area.
Fuel Conditioner
Diesel Fuel Conditioner is available from your service representative. Instructions for the use of the fuel
conditioner is on the container.
• Clean fuel injectors, valves and manifolds for increase service life.
• Disperse insoluble gummy deposits that can form in the fuel system.
• Separate moisture from the fuel.
• Stabilize fuel in storage.
IMPORTANT:When the oil is not visible on the bottom of sight gauge, the oil level is low. Add oil until it is visible
on the top of sight gauge. Start engine and run, in neutral, at a minimum engine rpm of 1800 for a minimum of
20 minutes to filter and warm the oil prior to any operation.
Check the coolant when the coolant is cold and the engine is stopped.
The coolant level must be within the normal cold range marks on the tank.
If the level is below the ADD mark, fill the tank to the top mark of the normal cold range with the coolant mixture
of 50% antifreeze to 50% water.
Brake Operation
WARNING: Always stop the engine and engage the parking brake before working on the machine.
WARNING: Follow tire and wheel manufacturers instructions when mounting a tire on a wheel or
rim. Failure to do so could produce an explosion that may result in serious injury or death. Do not
attempt to mount a tire unless you have the proper equipment and experience to perform the job.
Have it done by a qualified tire repair service. Do not exceed the inflation pressure recommended by
the tire manufacturer.
WARNING: Explosive separation of the tire and/or rim parts can cause injury or death. When tire
service is necessary, have a qualified tire mechanic service the tires.
WARNING: Use a clip on air chuck, extension hose with gauge and stand away from the tire while
inflating to prevent the possibility of personal injury due to a tire and rim separation, etc.
WARNING: A tire can explode during inflation and cause serious injury or death. Never increase air
pressure beyond 35 PSI (2.4 bar) to seat the bead on the rim. Replace a tire if it has a defect.
Replace a wheel rim which has cracks, wear or severe rust. Make sure that all the air is removed
from a tire before removing the tire from the rim. Never use force on an inflated or partially inflated
tire. Make sure the tire is correctly seated before inflating to recommended operating pressure.
WARNING: DO NOT weld to a wheel or rim until the tire is completely removed. Inflated tires can
generate a gas mixture with the air that can be ignited by high temperatures from welding procedures
performed on the wheel or rim. This condition can exist whether tires are inflated or deflated.
Removing air or loosening the tire on the rim (breaking the bead) will NOT eliminate the hazard. Tire
MUST be completely removed from the rim prior to welding.
WARNING: Should you experience loss of air due to a crack in the rim, contact your Case IH
distributor or dealer to resolve the matter. DO NOT continue operation by installing a tube. DO NOT
attempt to weld repair the rim. Continued use could result in complete wheel failure.
Tire Inflation
WARNING: Follow tire manufacturers recommendations for highway speeds and loading of tires.
Failure to do so may result in injury
Toe In
Adjust front wheel steering cylinders for 1/4”-1/2” less at front of tire
than at rear (center of hub).
Safety Equipment
Check all safety equipment such as hazard lights, decals, seat belt, etc. for proper operation and placement
after every 10 hours of operation.
WARNING: Securely fasten your seat belt. The seat belt can insure your safety if it is used and
maintained. Never wear a seat belt loosely or with slack in the belt system. Never wear the belt in a
twisted condition or pinched between the seat structural members.
• Keep the belt away from sharp edges and items that can cause damage.
• From time to time, check belt, buckles and mounting bolts for damage.
• Replace all parts that are worn or damaged.
• Replace a belt that has cuts that can weaken the belt.
• Check that the bolts are tight on the seat bracket.
• Keep seat belt clean and dry.
• Clean belt with a soap solution and warm water. Do not use bleach or dye on the belt because this can
make the belt weak.

Compressor Belt Replacement
1. Loosen the adjusting bolts and pivot bolt for the
compressor. Push the compressor down to loosen the
belt.
2. Remove the compressor drive belt. Install a new drive 4
belt.
3. Measure the compressor belt for correct tension using
a belt gauge. Belt tension must be 95 to 115 lbs (422 to
516 Nm) for a new belt. After ten minutes run-in time on 3
the new belt, adjust tension for 90 to 110 lbs (400 to
489 Nm).
4. Push compressor up until correct tension for the belt is
reached. Tighten the adjusting bolt and pivot bolt.
Hub Lubricant
DCP01773
The initial OEM lubricant fill for all planetary hubs on this
vehicle is 85W140 GL-5 gear lube. It is extremely important
that the hub lubricant be changed at 50 hours of operation (break-in period) for all new hubs or any time new
hubs or gears are installed into a hub as repair parts. The importance of this initial break-in lubricant change
cannot be overemphasized. The recommended lubricant for all hubs is 85W90 GL-5 gear lube or 85W140 in
warmer climates.
Check oil level with plug
The vehicle is propelled with four (4) hubs giving it very 1 in. below center of hub.
good traction on all terrains. Each hub should be
checked regularly for the proper amount of lubrication.
Each hub with integral brake has a total oil capacity of 58 oz. All four hubs have integral brakes. The oil level in
the hubs should be checked every 50 hours and changed every 500 hours under normal operating conditions.
If the hub is “overfull”, drain to proper level. Recheck two hours later. If it is “overfull” again it is likely the wheel
motor has a shaft seal that is leaking hydraulic oil into the hub. In this case, call your local service
representative.
NOTE: Under high speed use (driving down the road) the planetary gears create heat and pressure in the hub.
This pressure is released around the seal and some oil weeping may occur.
Then remove the oil coolers two bolts and swing out to
expose the radiator.
Clean dirt and dust from all grill screens, a/c condenser,
oil cooler and the radiator. Blow with compressed air or
water.
NOTE: For best results change the oil while the engine is still warm from operation. Use caution when
removing plug and draining oil.
1. Drain the oil from the engine and reinstall the drain
plug.
2. Turn the oil filter counterclockwise to remove. Use a
strap wrench, if necessary.
3. Apply clean oil to the gasket on the new filter. 1
4. Install the filter. Turn the filter clockwise until the gas-
ket comes in contact with the filter head. Tighten the
filter an additional one half turn by hand.
5. Loosen the filter approximately one turn. Turn the fil-
Dcp03915
ter clockwise again until the gasket comes in contact
with the filter head. Tighten the filter an additional 1/2 to 3/4 of a turn by hand.
IMPORTANT: DO NOT use a filter wrench to install the oil filter. If the filter is too tight you can damage the
gasket and filter.
Add distilled water to the batteries. When water is added at ambient temperatures below 32×F (0×C) the
batteries must have a charge immediately to mix the water and electrolyte. Freezing of the water will occur if
the water is not mixed with the electrolyte, because the water will stay at the top.
WARNING: BATTERY ACID CAUSES SEVERE BURNS. Batteries contain sulfuric acid. Avoid
contact with skin, eyes or clothing. Antidote: EXTERNAL - flush with water. INTERNAL - Drink large
quantities of water or milk. Follow with milk of magnesia, beaten egg or vegetable oil. Call physician
immediately. EYES - Flush with water for 15 minutes and get prompt medical attention. BATTERIES
PRODUCE EXPLOSIVE GASES. Keep sparks, flame and cigarettes away. Ventilate when charging
or using in enclosed space. Always shield eyes when working near batteries. KEEP OUT OF REACH
OF CHILDREN.
WARNING: Battery posts, terminals, and related accessories contain lead and lead are known to
the State of California to cause cancer, birth defects, or other reproductive harm. Wash hands after
handling.
NOTE: Electrolyte level should be 0.125 to 0.25 inch (3.2 to 6.4 mm) below vent well.
WARNING: Extreme caution must be used when working adjacent to and with high pressure
hydraulic oil lines. If any oil is injected into the skin, it is absolutely essential that the injured person
seek immediate medical care from a facility that is familiar with this type of injury or permanent injury
may result.
WARNING: Be careful when filling fuel tanks. Never fill fuel tank when engine is hot or running. Do
not allow smoking or open flame near machine while filling fuel tanks.
NOTE: If the sprayer has no fuel, it is possible to put fuel in the tank and start the engine without doing the air
removal procedure. However, a small amount of air can be in the filters and injection pump. Air in the system
will cause loss of power and engine stall when a load is applied.
WARNING: Always stop the engine and engage the parking brake before working on the machine.
WARNING: Hydraulic tank is a pressurized system. Vent tank before performing work on the
hydraulic system. Use Kit # 323763 when working on the hydraulic system below the tank level.
NOTE: It is advisable to pressure wash the outside and top of the hydraulic tank. Also wash the oil filter
assembly and the area around the oil filter. Do this before starting the following procedure.
NOTE: It is recommended whenever changing hydraulic oil to also replace the hydraulic filters.
NOTE: There must be oil in the tank when the engine is running. If the pumps do not receive oil, severe pump
damage is possible within 10 seconds.
Spray System
Every 500 hours of operation your spray system should be recalibrated. Refer to the controller manual for
recalibration procedures.

DCP03784
NOTE: Under high speed use (driving down the road) the planetary gears create heat and pressure in the hub.
This pressure is released around the seal and some oil weeping may occur.
WARNING: Cab air filters remove dust in the air, but are not capable of removing chemicals used in
spraying crops or in weed control. Many chemicals used for these purposes are toxic when
improperly used, and can be hazardous to operators and others in the area. Follow the instructions of
manufacturers of both the equipment and the chemicals regarding prohibitions against inhalation of
dust or spray, personal hygiene practices, and other precautions noted by the manufacturers.
WARNING: This cab is equipped with an activated charcoal filter element that adsorbs pesticides.
DO NOT CLEAN FILTER. Always service with a sealed, factory approved filter element. Dispose of
the used filter element according to federal, state and local regulations. Always follow instructions on
the product label.
Turbo charged engines must be working under full load to obtain the restricted air flow condition. The air
cleaner restriction indicator shows this condition even after engine is shut down.
Each air cleaner system has a certain amount of built in air restriction even with new filter elements and should
be noted when elements are new and the engine is under full load. This should be about 8.5” H2O on the air
restriction gauge. Temporary conditions such as inlet screen clogged can cause a high reading. The air cleaner
restriction indicator can be reset by pushing the black rubber end cap. Manufacturers service requirements are
25” H2O.
This is the point where the life of the filter element is expended. Additional dirt in the element will cause a rapid
rise in air flow restriction, black smoke, high fuel consumption, and low power.
If engine power is low, but yellow is showing in the indicator window - check for a plugged fuel filter.
Reset the air cleaner restriction indicator at each service check. If it does not reset, check for plugged
restriction tap fitting. Check all clamps between air cleaner outlet and turbo charger and tighten if needed.
NOTE: Over servicing should be avoided because this increases the risk for element damage. Avoid opening
the canister or disturbing the element until the air cleaner restriction indicator indicates 20” air restriction.
Service BEFORE the yellow indicator reaches the red line.
Coolant Change
To change the engine coolant, do the following:
1. Park the sprayer on a level surface and turn the engine OFF and remove the key.
WARNING: Check and service cooling system according to maintenance instructions. Hot coolant
can spray out if radiator tank cap is removed while system is hot. To remove radiator tank cap, let
system cool, turn to first notch, then wait until all pressure is released. Scalding can result from fast
removal of the tank cap.

install the cap.
11. Open the valves to the heater core.
12. Start the sprayer engine and run at low idle for one minute. Stop the engine and add coolant solution to the
coolant recovery tank as necessary.
13. Start the sprayer engine and run the engine to increase the coolant temperature to normal operating
range.
NOTE: If the temperature rises above normal operating range there could be air bubbles in the system that
have to clear. If the temperature does not reach normal operating range, shut your machine off and call your
service representative.
AS REQUIRED MAINTENANCE
Thermostat Check
Check the temperature gauge during engine operation.
If the engine heats slowly, it is possible that the
thermostats are held in an opened position. If the
temperature gauge is in the red area, it is possible that
the thermostats are not operating and are closed.

Overfilling the crankcase will often result in oil consumption complaints because the excess oil will be blown out
the crankcase breather as a mist due to the oil splash caused by the crankshaft running in the oil. Verify
crankcase blow-by, do this by collecting liquid from the blow-by tube in a 1 gallon plastic jug.
Heavy duty diesel engines are designed to use some oil to properly lubricate the rings and cylinder walls.
Before any repair work is begun to correct an oil consumption complaint, some investigation should be done to
assure there are no leaks, the crankcase is not being overfilled, and the consumption rate is indeed higher than
acceptable.
1. Accurately measure oil and fuel used over a period of time and record the measurements on a daily basis.
(Form #3490 is available to record the information.)
2. The engine must have at least 200-250 hours of use or beyond the break in period.
3. The oil used must be of the grade and viscosity specified by the manufacturer.
4. Use proper checking procedure
a. Check oil level with engine at operating temperature.
b. Do not overfill.
NOTE: Thermal expansion from 50° F to 200° F will cause a 5% increase in volume.
5. At the end of the test period, total the number of gallons of fuel and the number of gallons of oil used.
Divide the gallons of oil by the gallons of fuel and convert the results to a percentage.
Example: 200 hours use
1700 gallons fuel used
3.75 gallons oil used
3.75 / 1700 = .0022
.0022 x 100 = .22%
6. Oil consumption rates .50% (.60% for some applications) or above are generally considered to be
excessive and would require engine rework to correct. (Very light lead may be slightly worse not including
oil out blow-by breather.
The fuel system, combustion chamber and cooling system are primarily designed for good operating
performance under load. When operating at no load or light load, under cool conditions, the volume of fuel
burned is not sufficient to generate high combustion or exhaust temperatures. Water accumulates in the
exhaust system when the exhaust temperatures are insufficient to completely vaporize the liquid. This
combines with any unburned fuel and soot in the exhaust system to produce the black liquid observed during
slobbering.
It will continue until the load and/or operating temperatures are increased sufficiently to vaporize these natural
products of combustion. The exhaust slobber should stop and manifold become dry if the engine is operated
under load sufficient to vaporize the liquid products of combustion.
The Facts
1. Exhaust “slobber” is not unusual and it does not necessarily indicate an engine problem.
2. It rarely contains any engine oil. It is mostly water and soot with some unburned fuel.
3. It occurs at no load, part throttle speeds, but occasionally at high idle, light load, in cool operating
conditions.
Corrective Action
The most effective means of correcting or reducing the problem is to operated the engine under higher loads
which increases the exhaust temperature to dry up the exhaust. However, this may not always be possible.
If customer is required to operate in cool, moist air at partial load and “slobber” is experienced, that he
considers objectionable, operation may be improved by using #1-D fuel.
The condition may also be improved by restricting the air flow to the center of the radiator to raise engine
temperature.
IMPORTANT: Covering only one area of the air flow to the fan can cause high stress on the fan blades. A
round hole in the radiator covering, concentric with the center of the fan, will provide a continuous flow of air to
the fan.

The hydraulic hose has pressure pushing the oil through it. The wire has voltage pushing the
electrons through it. The only difference is that at the end of the wire the voltage cannot push hard
enough to force the electrons out of the wire in most cases.
Both electrical voltage and hydraulic fluid need a path to follow to make them useful.
Many of the fundamental principles are the same, just different terminology. Examine the following
descriptions of the basic units of measure in each system.
Hydraulics uses a quantity of fluid, typically gallons or liters, moving past a given point in a known
amount of time, usually one minute, to quantify the flow. Usually this is given in terms of Gallons Per
Minute (G/min) or Liters Per Minute (L/min).
Electronics uses the same principle except electrons (typically) are the object of the flow
measurement. The unit used to measure the quantity of electrons is the Coulomb; there are
6,280,000,000,000,000,000 electrons in one Coulomb. When one Coulomb of electrons passes a
given point in one second, a current of one Ampere is flowing in the circuit. Amperes are commonly
abbreviated as Amps.
Electronics uses the Volt to measure electrical pressure or potential. The Volt also has ties with the
Coulomb. When force of one Joule (a metric unit of work similar to the foot-pound in English
measure) has moved one Coulomb of electrons from one point to another, a potential of 1 Volt has
been produced.
Hydraulics also has a measurement of pressure. The measurement is based upon force applied per
unit of area. The term to describe the amount of pressure depends on the system of measurement,
typically pounds per square inch in English measure and bar in the metric system.

ELECTRICAL REVIEW
The main source must be present or electrons cannot flow in the wire. The
source in our system is a 12 volt DC battery.
Ground must also be present. The ground completes the circuit or path.
The circuit must be a complete path for the electrons to flow. If there is not
a complete path the component will not work.

Ground Ground
On our electrical schematics, ground symbols are used for convenience to show common grounding
points without drawing the line.
• If the load is bypassed (shorted) too much current will flow and damage to
the circuit components may occur,
• If the load is open no current can flow and the circuit cannot perform the
work.
“S1” is a switch which can be opened or closed as desired. When “S1” is open current will not flow to
the light, so the light will be off. When “S1” is closed current will flow to the light turning the light on.

A short circuit is when too much current is being drawn and can damage components in your system.
An open circuit is zero current flow, which does not damage components, but the circuit will not work.

TROUBLESHOOTING TOOLS
Test Light
A test light can be used to check for voltage. A test light is merely a small light bulb (of the proper
voltage) with a pair of wire leads attached. After grounding one lead, the other lead is touched to
various points along the circuit where voltage should be present. Of course, when the light comes on
voltage is present at the point being tested.
While a test light can indicate the presence of voltage, it cannot indicate how much voltage. A test
light in a 12-volt circuit that "seems about one-half lit up" does NOT indicate 6 volts in the circuit. Six
volts applied to a 12-volt test light will cause the bulb to barely glow.
A technician must be very careful when using test lights for troubleshooting. An increasing number of
circuits have solid-state components and or microprocessor/computer controls. Using a test light can
very easily damage these types of circuits. The low resistance of the bulb can allow too much current
to pass in the circuit and cause damage to the electronic devices. If the circuit is not immediately
damaged by the test, often the results are meaningless anyway because the current in the circuit is
so low that the bulb will not light. Electronic circuits must always be tested with a high-impedance
digital multimeter.
Some models of test lights have a battery incorporated into them. If the test light leads are touched
together the bulb will glow. Self-powered test lights are used only on non-powered circuits and are
used to check for continuity in circuits. Select two specific points in the circuit where there should be
continuity. Connect one lead of the self-powered test light to each point; if there is continuity the
circuit will be completed and the test light bulb will glow.
Never use a self-powered test light on circuits that may contain solid-state components, electronic
devices, or microprocessors/computers; serious damage to these types of components may result.
A fused jumper wire is merely a fuse holder with alligator clips attached to the leads. Fused jumpers
can be used to temporarily bypass segments of a circuit for troubleshooting purposes. NEVER use a
fuse in the jumper with a higher rating than the fuse that normally protects the circuit being tested.
Do NOT use fused jumpers in any instance to apply power to the input or output of an ECU or any
other microprocessor/computer device.
Multimeter
The multimeter is truly a universal test device for electrical circuits. Nearly all multimeters can take
measurements of the three basic parameters of an electrical circuit - voltage, current, and resistance.
Although analog multimeters are still available and have benefits in certain applications, most
references to multimeters imply a digital multimeter unless specifically noted.
A multimeter is always helpful in diagnosing electrical problems, but it is an absolute necessity when
it comes to testing circuits with microprocessor or electronic components. The high input impedance
of a multimeter prevents any significant current to develop in the circuit. Therefore, a multimeter
virtually eliminates damage to electronic devices when testing circuits.
CIRCUIT FUNDAMENTALS
Resistance is measured in ohms. Be sure to set your meter to the correct scale
before for measuring the resistance you expect.
NOTE: Be sure to shut off power before measuring resistance or you may
damage your meter.
To measure voltage the meter must be connected in parallel with the circuit.
• Current is common in a series circuit and will be the same regardless of where it is tested.
• Current must be measured at a break in the circuit where the meter is added. The circuit must be
broken and the meter added in series so that all current flowing in the circuit is going through the
meter for an accurate reading.
NOTE: When measuring resistance, turn off the power to the circuit or you may damage the meter.
When measuring resistance the meter uses its own internal battery to cause current flow
through the component or circuit under test. If you test a component “in circuit” where more
than one path is available it will measure the resistance of all the paths.
• If read across the battery you will not get a good reading and could damage your meter.
Do not do this!
• If read across “S1” closed you will read zero ohms; and across “S1” open a high value near
infinity.
• If read across the fuse you will read zero ohms unless the fuse is open in which case you will get
a high value near infinity.
• If read across the bulb you will get near 1-4 ohms if it is good and a high reading near infinity if it
is bad.
• If read across a good piece of wire zero ohms and if read across an open piece of wire you will
get a high reading near infinity.
TROUBLESHOOTING PROCEDURES
Perform a system check to be sure you understand what is wrong. It is a good idea to have the
complaint duplicated by the customer if possible. Often times the problem description you are
provided is only part of the story. Don't waste time fixing part of the problem! Do not begin
disassembly or testing until you have narrowed down the possible causes.
Study the schematic; try to gain an understanding of how the circuit should work. Check circuits that
share wiring with the problem circuit. Try to operate the shared circuits, they can be identified on the
wiring schematic. If these circuits work, then the shared wiring is OK. The cause must be in the
wiring used only by the problem circuit. If several circuits fail at the same time, chances are the power
(fuse) or ground circuit is the cause.
Repeat the system check to be sure you have fixed the whole problem.
TROUBLESHOOTING TESTS
This tests for voltage being lost along a wire or through a connection or switch.
1. Connect the positive lead of a voltmeter to the end of the wire (or to one side of the connection
or switch) that is closer to the battery.
2. Connect the negative lead to the other end of the wire (or to one side of the connection or
switch).
3. Operate the circuit.
4. The voltmeter will show the difference in voltage between the two points.
1. Remove the blown fuse and disconnect the battery and load.
2. Connect one lead of a self-powered test light or ohmmeter to the fuse terminal on the load side
of the fuse.
3. Connect the other lead to a known good ground.
4. Beginning near the fuse block, wiggle the harness from side to side. Continue this at
convenient points (about 6 inches apart would be ideal) while watching the self-powered test
light or ohmmeter.
5. When the self-powered test light glows, or the ohmmeter registers, there is a short to ground in
the wiring near that point.
Same as
meter
1. Use the schematic to identify the circuits associated with the fuse that has blown.
2. Open the first connector or switch leading from the fuse that is common to each load.
3. Replace the blown fuse.
• If the fuse blows, the short is in the wiring leading to the first connector or switch. Use a test
light or meter as described above.
• If the fuse does not blow, go on to the next step.
4. Close each connector or switch until the fuse blows to find which circuit the short is in. Connect
the test light or meter at the connector to the suspect circuit (disconnected) rather than at the
fuse terminals. Proceed along the circuit using this method until the short is found.

To test for current the meter must be connected in series in the circuit. Current measurements
normally involve a component being removed or disconnected from the circuit. The circuit current
flows through the meter, which displays the current in amps or milliamps. The meter should have a
rating higher than the expected current.
NOTE: Never use a meter set to a current scale to measure voltage. Severe damage to the meter,
the circuit, or both will result.
Two commonly used locations for taking current measurements are at a fuse and at the battery.

connected to the unswitched power bus from which all unswitched power circuits are energized.
Power is available to all of the following fuses F1 - F14 regardless of the ignition switch position.
2. Switched battery power. This power is supplied to the system when the ignition system in ON. This
switching is controlled by relay.
When the ignition is switched ON the cab power relay is energized, supplying battery power to the switched
power bus which in turn supplies power to fuses F15 - F23. Additionally the controller relay is energized and
power is distributed to.
1. The batteries are fully charged and all connections are clean and tight.
2. Transmission in neutral or park.

NO LOAD TEST
General Information
1. The no load test is done with the starter removed from the engine.
2. Check to see if you can pull the gear on the starter drive out of the starter drive housing.
3. Check to see if the starter drive can be turned. Pull the gear on the starter drive out of the starter drive
housing. Turn the gear in the clockwise direction to turn the starter drive and the armature. It should require
much force to turn. Turn the gear in the counterclockwise direction. It should turn with less force as the
clutch will be slipping.
4. If the starter drive cannot be turned, disassemble the starter and make repairs as needed. Then do the no
load test.
Test Equipment
The no load test can be done using a Sun Electric VAT-33 Tester, an equivalent tester, or separate pieces of
test equipment.
A hand held tachometer is needed to measure the speed of the armature shaft.
A fully charged 12 volt battery is needed to supply the electricity to turn the starter.
Test Procedure
The illustrations in this procedure show the use of the Sun
Electric VAT-33 Tester. Other test equipment can be used.
Connect the test equipment according to this procedure
and the manufacture’s instructions.

The jumper cable connected to the starter mounting flange and the motor terminal must have a common
connection at the negative battery post.
5. Connect the jumper cable with the common connection to the negative battery post. The pinion gear on the
starter drive must come all the way out rapidly and with force.
WARNING: To prevent personal injury, stay clear of the pinion gear teeth while the starter motor is
running.
6. If the pinion gear did not come out as it should, the pull in winding is damaged. The complete starter sole-
noid housing assembly must be replaced.
7. Disconnect the jumper cable from the motor terminal in the starter solenoid housing. The pinion gear must
not move toward the starter drive housing.
8. If the pinion gear started to move toward the starter drive housing, the hold in winding is damaged. The
complete starter solenoid housing assembly must be replaced.

SAFETY RULES
Before you service a battery, always wear face protection, protective gloves and protective clothing.
! Battery acid or battery explosion can cause serious injuries.
Sparks or flame can cause hydrogen gas in a battery to explode. To prevent an explosion, do the
following:
• When you disconnect the battery cables, always disconnect the negative (-) battery cable first.
! • When you connect the battery cables, always connect the negative (-) cable last.
• Do not short circuit the battery posts with metal items.
• Do not weld, grind, or smoke near a battery.
BATTERY ACID CAUSES SEVERE BURNS. Batteries contain sulfuric acid. Avoid contact with skin,
eyes or clothing.
Antidote: EXTERNAL - Flush with water. INTERNAL - Drink large quantities of water or milk. Follow
with milk of magnesia, beaten egg or vegetable oil. Call physician immediately. EYES - Flush with
! water for 15 minutes and get prompt medical attention.
BATTERIES PRODUCE EXPLOSIVE GASES. Keep sparks, flame and cigarettes away. Ventilate
when charging or using in enclosed space. Always shield eyes when working near batteries. KEEP
OUT OF REACH OF CHILDREN.
Battery explosion and/or damage to electrical components can result from improper connection of
! booster batteries or charger. Connect positive to positive and negative to negative. Externally, battery
acid can cause burns and blindness, and taken internally is poison.
When working around storage batteries, remember that all of the exposed metal parts are “live”. Never
! lay a metal object across the terminals because a spark or short circuit may result.
Connecting a battery charger or an auxiliary battery to a battery with an internal open circuit can cause
! a spark inside the battery. The spark can cause a battery explosion.

BATTERY MAINTENANCE
Electrolyte Level
Check the level of the electrolyte in each cell every 250 hours of operation or once a month whichever
occurs first. The use of a large amount of water by the battery can be caused by high temperature during
hot weather or a voltage regulator setting that is too high.
Keep the electrolyte above the top of the separator plates at all times to prevent damage to the battery.
If the level of the electrolyte is low, add distilled water or other clean water until the electrolyte is just below
the split ring at the bottom of the cell opening. DO NOT OVERFILL. When water is added at ambient
temperatures below 32oF (0oC) the batteries must have a charge immediately to mix the water and
electrolyte.
If batteries must be cleaned, remove the battery from the carrier and clean the battery, cable terminals
and the carrier. Use Case Battery Saver and Cleaner (Part Number M20376) according to instructions on
the product container. This cleaner needs no water. If Case Battery Saver is not available, remove all
corrosion from the cable ends and battery terminals with a wire brush, then wash with a weak solution of
baking soda and water or ammonia and rinse with clear water. DO NOT permit any type of cleaner to enter
the cells of the battery.
Inspect the battery cables for damage. The positive battery cables must be inspected their entire length for
chaffing or other damage that may cause a short circuit. Replace any battery cable that has damage.
• Inspect the battery before testing. Many conditions can be seen and corrected before battery problems
occur.
• Inspect the battery posts, cables and clamps for broken wires, loose connections and corrosion.
• Make sure the top of the battery is clean and dry. Dirt or electrolyte on top of a battery can cause the bat-
tery to discharge.
• Remove the filler caps (if equipped) from the battery. Check the vent holes in the filler caps and the vent
wells in the battery to make sure the vent holes are open.
NOTE: If the electrolyte level is too low to make a reading, add water to the battery cells. Then apply a fast
charge for 15 minutes. Then, take a hydrometer reading of each battery cell.
NOTE: The correct float reading is the specific gravity (weight) of the electrolyte in the battery.
NOTE: Compare the corrected float readings with the following chart. This will tell you the charge rate in the
battery.
If the readings are close to the 75% battery charge figures, the battery is probably satisfactory. Charge the
battery and make the Capacity Test.
If the readings are close to the 100% battery charge figures, make the Capacity Test to check for internal
problems.
If the readings are over the 100% battery charge figure, the battery is overcharged. Check the charging system
regulator.
Procedure
1. Turn the load control knob on the tester to the OFF position.
2. Turn the voltage switch on the tester to 16 volts for a 12 volt battery.
3. Connect the tester wires as shown:
Red clips to battery positive post.
Black clips to battery negative post.
NOTE: The wire clips from the volt meter side of the tester must contact the battery posts.
4. Turn the load control knob clockwise until the ampere hour rating of the battery is reached. If the tester is
not equipped with an ampere hour rating scale, set the load control at three times the ampere hour rating
of the battery.
EXAMPLE: 180 amperes for a 60 ampere hour battery.
NOTE: If the battery being tested has been made for use in high temperature climates, set the load control at
two and a half times the ampere hour rating of the battery.
5. Only apply the load on the battery for 15 seconds. Check volt meter figure and turn load control counter-
clockwise to the OFF position.
If the volt meter reading was in the green band or at least 9.6 volts for a 12 volt battery, the battery has
good output capacity. Test the specific gravity of the battery and charge if necessary before putting in
service.
If the volt meter reading varied by more than 0.1 volts, the battery has one or more defective cells.
If the volt meter reading was below 9.6 volts for a 12 volt battery, do the Three Minute Charge Test to see if the
battery is discharged or defective.
MS96B074
1. Turn the volt meter selector switch to 16 volts for a 12 volt battery.
2. Connect the tester wires as shown:
Red clips to battery positive (+) post.
Black clips to battery negative (-) post.
NOTE: The wire clips from the volt meter side of the tester must contact the battery posts.
If the volt meter reading is above the green band or exceeds 15.5 volts on a 12 volt battery, replace the battery
since the battery is worn out or sulfated.
If the volt meter reading was in the green band or at least 15.5 volts for a 12 volt battery, go the next step.
8. Check each cell voltage. If the battery has connecting straps across the cells, go to Step 9. If the battery
does not have connecting straps across the cells, see Testing Battery Cells with Cadmium Probes.
9. With the battery charger operating on fast charge, set the volt meter switch to 4 volts. With a fast move-
ment, measure the cell voltage across each cell by putting volt meter clips on each connecting strap.
If the volt meter readings vary more than 0.1 volts between the cells, replace the battery.
If the volt meter readings were within 0.1 volts of each other, battery is discharged. Test specific gravity
and charge as necessary.
MS96B075
1. Put the positive probe in cell number 1 and the negative probe in cell number 2.
NOTE: After each test, write the volt meter gauge reading on a piece of paper. The readings from one cell to
another must be compared after all tests are made.
2. Place the positive probe in cell number 2 and the negative probe in cell number 3.
3. Place the positive probe in cell number 3 and the negative probe in cell number 4.
4. Place the positive probe in cell number 4 and the negative probe in cell number 5.
5. Place the positive probe in cell number 5 and the negative probe in cell number 6.
6. Place the positive probe on the positive terminal post of the battery and the negative probe in
cell number 1.
7. Place the positive probe in cell number 6 and the negative probe on the negative terminal post of the
battery.
If the gauge needle on the volt meter reads to the right of zero, add this reading to the reading in Step 6.
If the gauge needle on the volt meter reads to the left of zero, go to Step 8.
8. Place the positive probe on the negative terminal post of the battery and the negative probe in
cell number 6. Subtract this reading from the reading in Step 6.
Compare all the readings with each other. If the readings are more than 0.1 volt between any step, replace
the battery.
MS96B076
MS96B077
Find the specific gravity reading of the battery in the Fast Charge Time Table. The time table will give you the
maximum period of time that the battery can be fast charged. Set the rate of charge on the battery charger so
that the voltage is not more than 15.5 volts for a 12 volt battery.
IMPORTANT: Always disconnect the battery cables, before fast charging the battery. Fast charging a
battery with the cables connected will damage the regulator.
Always allow fast charging a battery with a period of time of slow charging. Slow charge the battery until the
specific gravity reading of the electrolyte indicates the battery is fully charged.
BATTERY CHARGING
Check and correct the electrolyte level in the battery before charging the battery.
Charging rates in the 5 to 50 ampere range are acceptable. It is difficult to give an exact charging rate or
time because of:
50 to 75 15 hours 7-1/2 hours 3-1/4 hours 2-1/2 hours 2 hours 1-1/2 hours
100 to 150 30 hours 15 hours 7-1/2 hours 5 hours 3-1/2 hours 3 hours
NOTE: Ampere rating above indicates the initial rate of charge for a constant voltage taper rate battery
charger.
• Five minutes after adding electrolyte, check the terminal voltage of the battery. If the voltage is less than 10
volts on a 12 volt battery, there is a defect in the battery and the battery must be replaced.
• Check the specific gravity of the electrolyte. If the reading on the specific gravity indicates a decrease of 30
or more points on one or more cells in the battery, the battery must be put on a battery charger and fully
charged.

HOW IT WORKS
The charging system consists of a alternator with a built in
regulator (Item 3). A 39 ohm load circuit (Item 1) is
housed within the instrument cluster. Current flows from
the positive posts of the batteries (Item 2) through the
jump start stud to the starter solenoid. When the key 2
switch is in start and run positions current flows from the 1
instrument cluster to the alternator. Terminal D+ is used to
excite the field windings and start the alternator charging.
If the system voltage, measured at the instrument cluster
is 16 volts or higher, a battery voltage fault icon will be
displayed on the instrument cluster. If the alternator signal
is more than 4 volts below the system voltage, the battery
voltage fault icon will be displayed on the instrument
cluster.
As the speed of the alternator increases, current is generated for charging the battery and for operating the
electrical accessories. With the alternator running, the voltage is the same at the B+ terminal on the alternator
as the D+ terminal on the voltage regulator.
Do not let any oil enter into the ventilation openings of the alternator when doing service to the engine. This
can prevent the alternator from charging.
Always turn the key switch to OFF position and disconnect the battery ground cables when working on the
alternator or before arc welding on the tractor or connected implement.
Make an inspection of the terminals, connectors and wires at regular intervals. Check the terminals and the
connectors for loose connections and corrosion. Make sure that there is no damage on the insulation of the
alternator wires. These conditions can cause the voltage to be lower than the correct battery voltage and cause
the alternator to generate more current than is correctly needed to charge the battery.
Make sure that the mounting bolts for the alternator are tight. Check the belt for correct alignment, correct
tension and more than normal wear. These conditions can cause the belt to slide on the alternator pulley.
TEST PROCEDURES
For the best accuracy, test the alternator system with all of the system parts still installed on the tractor. Before
testing the system, check the following:
1. Battery - The battery must be at least 75% fully charged and the battery voltage must be at least 12 volts.
2. Connections - Make sure that all the connections on the alternator system components are clean and do
not have too much corrosion. Too much corrosion on terminals and connectors will cause a loss of battery
voltage to the voltage regulator.
3. Drive Belts - Make sure that the drive belts are tight and do not have any grease or oil on the contact
surfaces that can cause the belts to slip.
4. If the test in part B above shows the charging system to be normal, and the alternator service indicator is
illuminated, move the red lead to the D+ terminal (Item 3) on the alternator. Run the engine at rated speed
and turn the light switch to the ROAD position. If the No. 3 indicator lamp is illuminated, replace the rectifier
bridge.
1. Make sure that the batteries are fully charged and that
all wiring harness leads are connected. Turn all 2
accessories OFF.
1
2. Connect the positive lead from the voltmeter to the B+
terminal (Item 1) on the alternator. Connect the nega-
tive lead from the voltmeter to the alternator housing
(ground) (Item 2). If the reading on the voltmeter is
lower than battery voltage or has a zero reading,
check and make repairs to the wiring between the B+
terminal (Item 1) of the alternator and the batteries. T94117
T94271
NOTE: If the reading on the ammeter is between 135 and 145 amperes and the alternator service monitor is
illuminated, disassemble the alternator and test the rectifier bridge.
When an alternator-generator tester is not available, but a variable speed source is available, connect the
equipment as shown to the alternator and a fully charged battery. Do not connect the battery load tester across
the battery at this time.

HYDRAULIC DIAGNOSTICS
NOTE: This pressure should be less than that specified on the hydraulic schematic, otherwise the cooler is in
bypass. This will not allow any oil flow across the cooler, thus no reduction in the temperature of the oil.
NOTE: These procedures are intended to assist the technician in diagnosing a hydraulic problem. Not every
safety or precautionary measure is listed. Use proper care and consideration when performing any of the
above procedures.
NOTE: As with any hydraulic work, cleanliness is of utmost importance. Proper cleaning of the area before and
after service is necessary. Any components repaired or replaced must also be thoroughly cleaned.
NOTE: Any hydraulic connections taken apart must be properly capped and plugged. Care must also be given
until a hydraulic circuit is properly bled of all air that may be trapped in the system.
Refer to the hydrostatic pump nameplate model code for the correct pressures on both forward and reverse
side pressure loops. In the stalled condition described above, the gauge readings should exceed listed
pressures. System pressure is referenced to charge pressure, so the above stated number is the difference
between the high and low side system pressure loops.
Any adjustments required to raise or lower the pressure limiter setting are accomplished by rotating the
pressure adjustment screw located on the multifunction valve.
As both pumps forward loops are connected with a hydraulic hose, to truly separate the loops from sharing oil,
the traction assist must be activated.
Activate the traction assist by depressing the foot pedal located on the front right corner of the operator's seat.
Depressing this lever activates an electrical solenoid, which blocks the shared oil passage and allows a true
pressure reading for each individual pump.
P0002647
5. Record the reading on the gauge. Reference the hydrostatic pump name plate mode code for the correct
pressure setting.
6. Charge pressure is referenced to case pressure. To correctly set charge pressure, install a 100 psi
pressure gauge in port L2 of the hydrostatic pump to determine the case pressure developed on each
pump. The gauge reading from port L2 should be added to the factory setting as listed on the model code
found on the pump name plate.
NOTE: The total of these two numbers should be the recorded gauge pressure.
7. Any adjustments necessary are accomplished by loosening the lock nut and rotating the charge pressure
relief valve to attain the desired setting. Once the desired setting is achieved, tighten the lock nut.
NOTE: A faulty seal will allow charge pressure oil past the seal and thereby be drained back to the hydraulic
reservoir.
NOTE: In a normally functioning unit, a 0-5 gallon per minute flow meter will be necessary for testing.
1. Install the flow meter in the case drain line (1) from the wheel motor to the hydraulic oil reservoir. Make
sure that the direction of flow indicated on the meter is consistent with the true oil flow path.
2. Disconnect the parking brake quick coupler (See Section No. 3).
3. Start the unit and raise the hydraulic oil temperature to a minimum of 120 degrees F.
4. Increase the engine rpm level to the normal operating range and push the hydrostatic control lever forward.
5. Record the reading from the flow meter (1st Reading).
6. Return the hydrostatic control lever to neutral and return the engine to low idle. Shut the unit down (place
key in the off position).
7. Next, install the flush defeat spool (2) (part number 312713) and caps (part number 312714) in place of the
factory installed loop flushing valve. Reference the Sauer-Danfoss literature for the correct procedure and
torque values.
8. Start the unit and increase the engine rpm level to the normal operating range and push the hydrostatic
control lever forward.
9. Record the reading from the flow meter (2nd Reading).
10. Return the hydrostatic control lever to neutral and return the engine to low idle. Shut the unit down (key off).
11. Subtract the second reading from the first recorded reading. This will give you the true loop flushing gallons
per minute (Reference the correct hydraulic schematic to determine the required pressure reading).
NOTE: If the unit has excessive case leakage from any wheel motor being tested, it is possible for the 0-5
gallon per minute flow meter to be undersized.
SPX 4260 Troubleshooting Manual

Case Drain
This test is to confirm whether or not there is excessive case leakage from the motor resulting in a low charge
pressure reading on the hydrostatic pump(s).
NOTE: In a normally functioning unit, a 0-5 gallon per minute flow meter will be necessary.
1. This flow meter is to be installed in the case drain line from the wheel motor to the hydraulic oil reservoir.
Ensure that the direction of flow indicated on the meter is consistent with the true oil flow path.
2. Disconnect the parking brake quick coupler.
3. Install the flush defeat spool (part number 312713) and caps (part number 312714) in place of the factory
installed loop flushing valve. (Reference the Sauer-Danfoss literature for the correct procedure and torque
values.)
4. Start the unit and raise the hydraulic oil temperature to a minimum of 120 degrees F.
5. Increase the engine rpm level to the normal operating range and push the hydrostatic control lever forward.
6. Record the reading from the flow meter.
7. Return the hydrostatic control lever to neutral and return the engine to low idle. Shut the unit down (key off).
8. The recorded reading is the true case leakage from that motor. All intentional leakage has been eliminated
by installing the flush defeat spool.
This test is to determine at what input (signal) pressure the wheel motor starts shifting from maximum
displacement towards minimum displacement.
NOTE: In a normally functioning unit, all four motors start to shift at the same input pressure.
NOTE: The following test will require two people. 1 to operate controls in cab, while the other is recording
gauge readings.
1. Install the flow meter between the outlet side of the pressure limiter valve and the input to the servo ports
(M4 or M5) on the hydrostatic pump.
2. Disconnect the parking brake quick coupler (See Section No. 3).
3. Start the engine and warm the hydraulic oil to a minimum of 120 degrees F.
4. While the person in the cab increases the engine rpm level to the normal operating range, and places the
hydrostatic control lever in the reverse position.
5. The second person is recording the gauge readings on the flow meter.
NOTE: With a properly functioning component, there should be zero (0) oil flow recorded.
PCP Valve
IMPORTANT: When testing full system pressure, a second person is required in the cab to operate the service
brake, anchoring the machine and turn the machine off if needed.
NOTE: Testing of the PCP valve is not only a hydraulic test, but an electrical check as well.
NOTE: The test breakout harness can be obtained through the service department. This harness should be a
four pin Packard connection with the wire running from the “A” pin of one connector to the “A” pin of the
opposing connector severed and test sleeves installed.
1. Install a digital multi-meter in the wires for pin “A”. Set the digital multi-meter to milliamps, record the
current supplied from the SX Control to one coil inside the PCP valve. Install a second digital multi-meter in
the wires for pin “C” to record the current supplied to the second coil inside the PCP valve.
2. Install one 600 psi pressure gauge in each of the input signal lines to the hydrostatic pump.
3. The gauges may be installed at either of the following:
GC2 on the PCP valve/X1 on the left hand hydrostatic
pump/X2 on the right hand hydrostatic pump.
GC1 on the PCP valve/X2 on the left hand hydrostatic
pump/X1 on the right hand hydrostatic pump
respectively.
NOTE: It is recommended to pick X2 and X1 on the right
hand hydrostatic pump for ease of installation of
the gauges.
NOTE: If reading is different than that specified on the hydraulic schematic, adjustment is necessary.
NOTE: A 0-20 or 0-30 gallon per minute flow meter is necessary for this test (preferably one with a load valve).
1. Install the flow meter between the M1 port of the product pump control valve block and the liquid spray
pump, (note the direction of flow indicated on the flow meter). Make sure the load valve is fully open.
2. Check water or liquid level in the product tank and the valves are oriented so as to spray or recirculate.
NOTE: Never operate Product Pump without water or liquid in the product tank.
3. Start the engine and allow the hydraulic oil to warm to 120 degrees F.
4. Turn the liquid pump spray switch on.
5. Increase the engine rpm level to normal operating range or high idle.
6. Record the reading on the flow meter.
NOTE: If the reading is different than specified on the hydraulic schematic, further testing is required.
7. While watching the flow meter, start cranking the load valve down. When the pressure/load increases, if
the flow rate does not decrease, the hydraulic pump is fine. When the pressure/load increases and the flow
rate decreases, the hydraulic pump is becoming weak.
NOTE: If the Flow Meter Test is lower than specifications, further testing of the hydraulic flow from the gear
pump to the product pump control valve must be done.
Manifold Valve
This component is beneficial for diagnostic purposes.
Several capped ports (G, P4, P5, and P6) are available to
install pressure gauges for testing of the pressure
compensated pump circuits.
NOTE: Compare pressure reading with the specification on the schematic to determine if changes or
adjustments are necessary.
Steering Cylinders
The steering cylinders (1) on this unit are rephasing style.
When the steering wheel is rotated fully clockwise or
1
counterclockwise, it will never come to a positive lock.
• Charge pressure oil enters the manifold at port “P” and leaves the manifold towards the drive hubs
at port “A”.
1. If the parking brakes fail to release, disconnecting the hydraulic line at either port “A” on the manifold or at
the point of attachment to the drive hub will be necessary. Have a helper hold the hose into a collection
container.
2. Start the engine and disengage the Park Brake lever. If oil flow is present, the valve is operating properly.
NOTE: This puts more weight on the slipping wheel, giving it more traction.
• If this does not happen, or if the unit tends to wheel hop while attempting to
climb a hill, there is a possibility of leaking seals in the cylinders (1).
P0002669
Boom Height Cylinders
1. Start engine and warm the hydraulic oil to a minimum
of 120 degrees F.
2. Fully extend or retract the cylinder in question.
3. Disconnect the hydraulic line from the end of the cyl-
inder with the least amount of available volume.
Testing
4. If the solenoid is receiving an adequate electrical signal, the next step is to verify oil flow to the specific
function.
5. Install a flowmeter in one hydraulic line or disconnect
the line, then place the disconnected hose in a collec-
tion container.
6. Start the engine and warm the hydraulic oil to a mini-
mum of 120 degrees F.
7. Activate the desired function. If there is oil flow
through the flowmeter, or oil is collected in the con-
tainer, the cartridge inside the manifold is working cor-
rectly.
8. There are relief valves ported to the blind end pas-
sage inside the valve body.
• There are also two relief valves on the valve body to allow for boom breakaway.
1. Install a 3000 psi gauge in the hydraulic line between the valve body and the blind end side of each/either
inner boom fold cylinder.
2. Install a 3000 psi gauge in the hydraulic line between the valve body and the rod end side of each/either
inner boom fold cylinder.
3. Activate the function so as to take the boom fold to it's full extent of travel or up to some stop.
4. Record the reading on the corresponding pressure gauge.
5. If the reading does not match the specification on the hydraulic schematic, adjustment is necessary.
NOTE: If the above readings are not equal, further testing will need to be done. (Refer to PCP valve testing.)
6. Record the readings on the gauges installed in ports M4 and M5. These readings should be equal with the
hydrostatic control lever in the neutral position.
NOTE: If the above readings are not equal, adjustment must be made to the hydraulic displacement control set
screw. (Reference the Sauer Danfoss literature for the proper procedure.)
7. This process should be repeated for the opposite side hydrostatic pump.

SAFETY PROCEDURES
WARNING: This safety alert symbol indicates important safety messages in this manual. When you
see this symbol, carefully read the message that follows and be alert to the possibility of personal
injury or death.
ATTENTION: Only authorized technicians certified by an approved training and certification organization may
service or repair motor vehicle or mobile air conditioning systems.
Refrigerant HFC-134a is the most stable and easiest to work with of the refrigerants now used in air
conditioning systems. Refrigerant R-134a does not contain chlorofluorocarbons (CFC’s) which are harmful to
the earth’s ozone layer.
Safety procedures must be followed when working with refrigerant HFC-134a to prevent possible personal
injury.
1. Always wear combination impact and chemical splash safety goggles when doing any service work near
an air conditioner system. Liquid refrigerant in the eyes can cause serious injury. Do the following if you get
refrigerant near or in your eyes:
2. Flush your eyes with water for 15 minutes.
3. See a physician immediately.
4. Always reclaim all refrigerant prior to opening an A/C system. (See Air Conditioning System Service Sec-
tion.) A drop of liquid refrigerant on your skin may cause frostbite burns. Open fittings carefully and slowly
when servicing the air conditioning system. Your skin must be treated for frostbite or a physician must be
seen if you get refrigerant on your skin.
5. Keep refrigerant containers in correct upright position. Always keep refrigerant containers away from heat
and sunlight. The pressure in a container will increase with heat.
6. Always check refrigerant purity with the OEM-4450 Refrigerant Identifier before recovering refrigerant and
before testing the system. See Air Conditioning System Service Section.
7. Use the air-powered OEM-1691 ONLY to recover contaminated refrigerant. Do NOT use OEM-1415 or
Oem-1418 recycling stations to recover contaminated refrigerant. If contaminated refrigerant contains
more than 2% hydrocarbon (propane, butane or isobutance), the mixture must be considered flammable; if
more than 4% hydrocarbon, the mixture must be treated as explosive; in both cases an electric-powered
recovery station may NOT be used. Avoid heat, sparks and flame when working with this contaminated
refrigerant.
8. Dangerous gas can form when refrigerant comes in contact with an open flame. Never inhale fumes.
9. Never leak test with compressed air or flame tester. Tests have indicated that compressed mixtures of
HFC-134a and air can form a combustible gas.

COMMON GROUND

The ATC is a closed loop control device which takes the data from a variety of inputs and executes output
instructions to the devices it controls. The desired controlling parameter is cab inside temperature. The
operator selects a desired cab temperature set point. The controller then utilizes the A/C compressor,
electronic heater control valve, mode doors and system blower to drive the cab temperature to and hold the
desired set point. This is done through a variety of controlling algorithms and look-up tables which define the
controller’s response based upon the current actual cab temperature and the desired cab temperature set
point.
Manual adjustment of the blower speed overrides the ATC controller’s control of this function. Blower speed will
remain at the operator selected setting and the “A” on the LED display will disappear until the system is shutoff
and turned back on to AUTO. Temperature control will continue to be automatic regardless of blower speed, but
set point may not be attained if blower speed setting is too low.
Manual adjustment of the mode door also overrides the ATC controller’s control of this function. Mode door
position will remain at the operator selected setting and the “A” on the LED display will disappear until the
system is shut back off and turned back on to AUTO. Temperature control and blower speed will continue to be
automatic regardless of mode door position, but set point may not be attained as readily.
Operational Modes
In AUTO mode, the A/C compressor only runs or heater control valve opens when needed to achieve or
maintain cab temperature set point.
In DEFOG/DEFROST mode, the compressor runs continuously to remove moisture from the air until the
evaporator temperature sensor reaches its freeze setting. In DEFOG/DEFROST mode, the heater control valve
is opened only when required to achieve or maintain the desired set point.
In OFF mode, the A/C compressor and heater control valve are turned off, but the blower motor continues to
circulate air at the rate selected by the operator.
In AUTO and DEFOG/DEFROST modes, blower speed selected by the controller is based on the difference
between actual cab temperature and the set point. The greater the difference, the greater the speed. However,
on cold days at start-up, to avoid blowing cold air on the operator, blower speed will default to 25% and will not
be increased until the temperature sensed by the evaporator temperature sensor exceeds 55°F (12.8°C). This
feature also applies when the maximum heat setting is selected.
If the DEFOG/DEFROST position on the ATC switch is selected, all air flow is directed to the defog/defrost
vents at the windshield. Air flow will continue to exit the defog/defrost vents until the ATC switch is set to the
OFF or the AUTO position.
For maximum A/C the evaporator temperature sensor controls compressor clutch cycling. The blower is
automatically increased to the maximum speed. In both conditions, the “A” icon on the display will be turned off
while at these settings.
In DEFOG/DEFROST mode, when the temperature control is turned to the maximum heat position and the
heater control valve is fully open, the compressor is still controlled by the evaporator temperature sensor.
A/C systems must operate for over 1 minute before any high or low pressure fault codes are displayed. All other
fault codes are displayed immediately after the fault occurs. The fault codes are not stored.
NOTE: On cool days below 40°F, the A/C system may not operate due to the low pressure switch lock out even
though the cab temperature is warm. The system is not malfunctioning if this occurs. To provide the necessary
A/C compressor protection, Case A/C systems are not designed to operate on days below 40°F.
The refrigerant circuit of the air conditioning system contains five major components: compressor, condenser,
receiver-drier, expansion valve and evaporator. These components are connected by tubes and hoses and
operate as a closed system. The air conditioner system is charged with HFC-134a refrigerant.
The compressor receives the refrigerant as a low pressure gas. The compressor then compresses the
refrigerant and sends it in the form of a high pressure gas to the condenser. The air flow through the condenser
then removes the heat from the refrigerant. As the heat is removed the refrigerant changes to a high pressure
liquid.
The high pressure refrigerant liquid then flows from the condenser to the receiver-drier. The receiver-drier is a
container filled with moisture removing material, which removes any moisture that may have entered the air
conditioner system in order to prevent corrosion of the internal components of the air conditioner system.
The refrigerant still in high pressure liquid form, then flows from the receiver drier to the expansion valve. The
expansion valve provides a restriction to refrigerant flow to cause a pressure drop which allows the liquid
refrigerant to expand, decreasing its temperature and pressure. This low temperature low pressure liquid then
flows through the evaporator core. The hot cab air passes through the evaporator fins cooling the air and
evaporating the liquid refrigerant. The low pressure gas returns to the compressor and the cycle starts all over
again.
The electrical circuit of the ATC air conditioning system consists of:

OPERATIONAL MODES
1
Keyed Power - Automatic Mode
1. With the ignition switch in the ON position and the ATC
switch (1) in AUTO, the system will operate the blower
motor and the A/C compressor clutch or heater control
valve if the cab temperature is greater or less
respectively than 2°F (1.1°C) from the current
temperature set point. If the cab temperature is 2°F
(1.1°C) warmer than set point, the compressor will be
engaged and the blower speed will be incremented. If
the cab temperature is 2°F (1.1°C) colder than set point, RD99N127
the heater control valve will be opened and the blower
speed will be incremented.
NOTE: In AUTO mode, the greater the difference between actual cab temperature and the set point, the
greater the blower speed. As actual temperature approaches the set point, blower speed decreases and the
ATC controller varies blower speed to maintain the set point. If an operator adjusts the blower speed
manually, the ATC unit no longer operates in automatic mode; the “A” disappears from the display.
Blower speed will remain constant at the speed selected by the operator. If the selected blower speed is too
low, the ATC unit may not be able to achieve the desired set point or will achieve it very slowly. To return to
AUTO mode, the ATC switch must be toggled to OFF and then back to AUTO. The “A” will display and the ATC
controller will adjust blower speed automatically again to achieve the desired set point.
NOTE: At start up on cold days when the set point is calling for heat, blower speed will default to low speed
and will not be incremented until heater core temperature sensed exceeds 55°F (12.8°C) to avoid blowing cold
air on the operator. This feature applies to Automatic and Defog/Defrost modes. Moving the temperature
control to the maximum heat position will not override this feature.
2. If the compressor and blower both do not work, check fuse no. 27.
3. If only the blower motor does not work, check fuse no. 26.
Defog/Defrost Mode 1
Here also, if an operator adjusts blower speed manually, while the defog/defrost icon will continue to display on
the LCD, blower speed control will no longer be automatic. Blower speed will default to whatever the operator
has selected, and the controller may not be able to achieve the desired set point or will achieve it very slowly.
Turning the ATC switch (Item 1) to OFF and then back to DEFOG/DEFROST position will return blower speed
to automatic control.
The maximum heat setting on the temperature control will not disengage the compressor in defog/defrost
mode.
1. Check the resistance across A and C for a value of 10K ohms ± 10%. Check for proper operation across B
and C on the potentiometer connector while turning the control. Resistance changing as the control is
turned indicates the potentiometer is functioning. If the potentiometers have failed open or out of range, an
ATC fault code of 04 for blower speed control potentiometer and 05 for temperature control potentiometer
will be displayed.
NOTE: If the blower speed potentiometer fails the blower will default to maximum speed. If the temperature
control potentiometer fails, the cab temperature setting will default to 68°F.

RH98G032
Blower Motor
1. Check the voltage for the blower motor at the motor leads
directly attached to the motor. With the blower speed
control set at maximum, the reading should be
approximately 12 volts. (Actual voltage will vary
depending on battery strength, what additional
accessories are on, etc.)
NOTE: If the blower speed potentiometer fails, the blower will
default to maximum speed.
1. With the key in the run position, the ATC switch in the
DEFOG/DEFROST position, and the temperature
control set for maximum cooling, listen for an audible 1
click from the engine compartment when the
compressor clutch engages (if the engine is not
running).
2. Test the circuits from the ATC switch (Item 1) to confirm
continuity back to the HVAC unit. If a ground to the 2
appropriate wire pin on the switch connector does not
cause the compressor clutch to engage, check the

is supplied at pin 7 on the motor through SPL-CD1 through RD99N166
pin 29 on connector 7 through SPL-C24 to ring terminal
173D. Disconnect the motor from the harness and check for continuity through the motor on pins 7 and 10.
If no continuity, replace the motor.
2. Check power and ground to the mode motor.
3. The motor receives its control signal on pin 8. Check for variation in voltage on pin 8 while turning the mode
door control. For ATC units, the controller modulates the voltage. For standard A/C units, the potentiometer
modulates the voltage while an in-line resistor to pin 8 on the motor limits travel of the mode door itself.
Disconnect the resistor and check for continuity through the resistor. See “Mode Door Motor and Circuit
Test (Standard A/C)” on page 32.
ATC CONTROLLER
ATC Controller
1. Check for high and low pressure shutdown. The compressor clutch will not operate if the system pressure
is too high, above 400 ± 10 psi (27.6 bar), or too low below 4 ± 2 psi (0.07 bar). A 01 ATC fault code will
display on the LCD display for a high pressure condition, a 02 ATC fault code will display for low pressure
condition. Cycling the ignition off and back on or the ATC switch off and back on will reset the system.
NOTE: Fault codes for high and low pressure will not be displayed until the unit has been on for 1 minute.
Standard A/C Systems: the standard controller will blink the indicator light in the A/C ON/OFF switch slowly,
approximately 7 times in a 10 second period, for low pressure switch activation and quickly, approximately 13
times in a10 second period for high pressure switch activation.
NOTE: The LED in the standard A/C ON/OFF switch can fail in the closed position, at which time the diode will
remain constantly lit. Replace the A/C ON/OFF switch.
2. The controller actuates the compressor clutch via a relay located in the back of the HVAC unit. Confirm that
the relay is functioning by cycling the ATC switch on and off. A properly functioning relay can be heard
engaging.
3. Verify that the controller is being fed B+ on terminal D3 and that the grounds are clean and secure. See
“Standard A/C Controller Power Supply and Ground Test” on page 28.
RD99N055 RP99E010
Compressor Clutch
1. The compressor clutch must disengage when the wire
lead to the clutch is disconnected.
2. Measure system voltage. Minimum system voltage is
12V.
3. Measure coil resistance between connector (1) and
bracket ground. 2.8K to 3.3K ohms is the range of coil
resistance. Infinite resistance indicates open circuit.
4. 12V should be present at harness connector with key
in RUN position, recirculation blower running, system 1
pressures not triggering high or low pressure shut-
downs, ATC switch set to DEFOG/DEFROST or stan-
dard A/C switch to ON and evaporator core

Air Louvers
1. Make sure the cab discharge louvers are open.
2. Make sure the blower control is set on maximum and
the air conditioner temperature control is on maxi-
mum.
MK99J191
WARNING: The high pressure hose may be very hot. When checking it’s temperature, touch
! it very briefly to avoid burning yourself.
4. If there is no temperature difference between the hoses, the compressor is not operating.
See Standard A/C Electrical Troubleshooting, page 17.
Louver Temperature
1. Record the ambient temperature and relative humidity away from the tractor.
4. Go to gauges and testing A/C Troubleshooting Foldout and Air Conditioning System Service Section for
further internal troubleshooting.
* Temperatures shown are highest normal temperatures expected; actual mid-cab louver temperatures
may be cooler. The louver temperature chart is based on the following conditions: (1) Engine operating at
1500 RPM. (2) No engine load. (3) Blower control in the highest speed position. (4) Door and service door
open. (5) Air conditioner temperature control set to maximum cooling. (6) Air conditioner control switch set to
ON (CCM) or DEFOG/DEFROST (ATC) mode. (7) Mode door control adjusted to mid-cab vents only, fully
counterclockwise. (8) Gauge readings taken 15 minutes after start up. (9) Hood closed. (10) Heater lines
(supply and return) clamped at the engine. (11) All cab air vents open.
Heater Hoses
1. Position temperature control in maximum cooling
position (full counterclockwise). Start engine and
warm up.
2. Feel the heater core hose tube connections (Item 1) 1
to see if they are hot.
3. The heater control valve in the cab is not working if
the core tube connections are hot from engine cool-
ant.
RD99N052
Plenum Sealing
5. Correct plenum sealing will permit air through the evaporator but not around the evaporator. Check two
foam seals at bottom of core and check that drain pan is sealed against floor plate.
6. Check that condensate drain check valves are installed.
7. Reinstall the operators seat.
Filters
1. Keep the air filter element (Item 1) clean to provide
maximum air flow into the operator cab. See Air
Conditioning System Service Section in this manual
for complete instructions. Make sure filter seal is not
damaged.
2. Keep the cab recirculation filter (located behind the

TOPIC 1 - Common Operating Questions
This topic lists a series of frequently asked questions. These are grouped by subject to provide easy reference
in setting up your system for optimum operation. Often basic terms prove to be the point of confusion which
can be cleared up with a little more information. Reading the following should aid your understanding of overall
system operation.
Granular System
Interchanging Parts
Question: Can GC1000 or CCS100 parts be reused in a Land Manager® system?
Yes, the radar and the hydraulic control valve with the use of a valve driver are directly interchangeable. The
application rate sensor can be used with the correct adapter cable.
Using Spinners
Question: Does the console control the spinners as well as the conveyor/belt?
No, the spinners are controlled manually.
Need to Recalculate
Question: Does a spreader constant require recalculating if the rate sensor is moved to a different
shaft?
Yes. However, the shaft used on must rotate smoothly with application of product.
Under-applying
Question: I have discovered that I am under-applying just a little. Is there a way to fine tune the
system?
Simply adjust the spreader constant the same percentage as your application error. Adjust up to increase the
application rate; down to decrease. This works if the error is within 10%. Larger errors may indicate other
problems.
Other Problems
Question: What are some other problems?
Larger application problems are normally traced directly to programming errors, wrong gate setting, incorrect
ground speed signal, or a faulty rate sensor.
Liquid System
Parts Interchangeability
Question: Do any SC1000 or CCS 100 parts work with the Land Manager®?
Yes, the SC1000 hydraulic valve with driver, pressure sensor, radar, and all other CCS 100 components work
with the Land Manager® system.
Definition of Capacities
Question: Please define Nozzle Pressure and Nozzle constant?
These two setup positions describe what nozzles you are using. Simply stated, the Nozzle Pressure is only a
pressure reference, any pressure will due. The Nozzle constant is how much water in gallons flow out of that
nozzle in one minute at that pressure reference. From these two numbers, the console determines the flow rate
from that nozzle at any given pressure.
Nozzle Pressure
Question: Does the pressure entered in Nozzle Pressure have to match the pressure being sprayed? Is
there an ideal pressure that I can use?
No it does not. You can enter any pressure that you like into Nozzle Pressure, however it is best to use a
pressure that is within the working limits of the nozzle you have selected. There really is no ideal pressure, but
40 PSI is probably the most popular choice. Just remember to use the correct flow rate for the pressure
selected.
Under Application
Question: My applicator has XR8004 nozzles with 20” spacing on two booms. I’m using 40 for Nozzle
Pressure and.4 for Nozzle Constant. My pressure sensor is mounted between the Dj valve and the
boom shutoff valves. I have found that I am under-applying. What is wrong and how do I correct the
problem?
What is being seen here is a difference in pressure between the pressure sensor and the nozzle. Pressure
drops occur in any sprayer, and the distance from sensor to nozzle determines the amount of the loss. In this
case, the system is controlling the application based on the pressure at the sensor, but the nozzles with a lower
pressure are under-applying. To correct this problem either move the sensor to the boom next to a nozzle, or
do a catch test at the pressure that you have entered into NOZZLE PRESSURE. Catch a few nozzles on each
boom, average the results, and enter the average flow rate per gallon as your Nozzle Constant. This method
compensate for pressure losses that may be occurring.
SPX 4260 Troubleshooting Manual
Issued 2-03 Printed in U.S.A. Controller Systems
8000- 8
Valve Full Open Alarm
Question: I’m getting the alarm before the upper pressure limit is reached. What is causing this?
The alarm means the control valve is fully open. This indication normally occurs when the pressure
requirement is greater than the system can produce. However, a damaged pressure sensor or actuator can
also be the cause. To eliminate the sensor, check the pressure on the console against the manual gauge on
your boom, if you have one. If the pressure on the manual gauge is greater than the console pressure, check
the sensor. If the console and manual gauge match, then the sprayer is unable to develop the correct pressure.
Check to see the actuator is opening completely. Then check for slipping pumps, hose restrictions, sparge
valve open too far, etc.
Fuse OK
If the fuse is normal, the indication is no current is being drawn. Check all connections to ensure good contacts
at the connectors. Inspect the battery connections very carefully and clean contacts as necessary.
Short in System.
Fuse blows immediately
To isolate the problem, disconnect all sensors and Main cable, but not the Power/RS 232 cable. This cable is
necessary to supply battery power to the console. Replace the fuse.
From the console, select SYSTEM mode, SERVICE menu, TROUBLESHOOTING menu and finally LOW
LEVEL TEST
View the Master Switch as you change switch positions. If the response is not correct (OFF - 00, AUTO - 01,
Manual - 11), proceed with the next step.
Open the Switch Module and verify the switch operation. Panel Off/Auto/Manual
Use an ohmmeter to verify the switch contacts. Check each Side Switch
switch position.
Begin by visually inspecting the cable and sensor for damage. Check all connections and inspect
sensor mounting.
When inspecting a radar sensor, check for excessive vibration. Start the vehicle engine and slowly
increase engine RPM to the governed rate or operating RPM while observing the console display.
The display should remain at zero. If not, the radar mounting is not secure.
If no ground speed value displays during operation, check the condition of the harness.
A simple test can be conducted to prove harness integrity to the console by using a small jumper wire.
Disconnect the ground speed sensor from the main harness. At the main harness connector, identify each pin.
Fashion a jumper wire between the ground line and the signal line of the cable. Be sure not to short the +12
volt line to ground. Doing so results in blowing the main system fuse. Intermittently make and break the
connection between the ground and the signal lines as rapidly as possible. The results are a series of random
pulses which should generate some speed indication on the display. If the display responds, the system
harness and console are normal indicating the ground speed sensor is at fault.
If no application rate displays during operation, check the condition of the harness.

pulses which should generate some indication on the display. If the display responds, the system harness and
console are normal meaning the application rate sensor is the cause.
TOPIC 4 - Console
During troubleshooting, the ability to quickly verify console performance becomes very important in isolating
system failures. Console operation can be proven either by substituting a different console or by using a special
wrap around cable (test module). The wrap around cable allows a special self test routine to check normal
console operation. If the test proves normal, the console is eliminated as a possible cause and troubleshooting
can proceed to the harness and other system components. If the tests fail, remove the console from the
system and tag for immediate repair.
Positive Negative
Battery Battery
Terminal Terminal
After all functional tests finish, a keypad test screen appears to allow dynamic testing each key on the front of
the console.
Unplug the main cable (J1) from the console and install a new fuse.
If the fuse blows again, the short is either in the power cable or the console. Disconnect J2 from the console
and repeat the test with a new fuse. If the fuse blows, the cable has a short; if not, the console has an internal
short.
If both the cable and console prove normal, proceed to Next Step.
Unplug all the sensor and extension cables and install a new fuse.
If the fuse blows with all sensors and extension cables disconnected, the short is isolated to the main harness.
Turn the console on and measure voltage between the +12V, signal, and ground leads of the main
cable.
A +12V reading between the power and ground terminals indicates those two lines are normal. Some small
voltage should be read on the signal line. No reading indicates the signal line is open if the power and ground
leads have been verified.
By progressively moving through the pin count, no combination of conductors is missed. No continuity should
be found in any measurement.
Twist the two bare leads together, solder, and tape for each damaged lead.
Be certain to match wire colors. Then solder the leads. Tape each repaired lead with vinyl electrical tape.
Add a layer of vinyl electrical tape up to the cable cover at each end of the repaired section.
Allow silastic compound to dry, then use vinyl electrical tape to completely cover the repaired area.
Apply tape to at least two inches beyond each end of the cable opening. Secure repaired cable in a manner to
protect the damage from reoccur-ring.
Pin Designations
6 O’CLOCK
2 o’clock socket location is power.
10 o’clock socket location is ground.
6 o’clock socket location is signal.
Voltage Readings
1. 10 o’clock socket to 6 o’clock socket = +5 VDC.
2. 10 o’clock socket to 2 o’clock socket = +5 VDC.
NOTE: If a +5 VDC voltage reading is not present, disconnect the Flow Sensor cable. If the Speed reading is
restored, Test the Flow Sensor cable. See page 8000-21, “PROCEDURE TO TEST FLOW METER
CABLES”.
3. With small jumper wire (or paper clip), short between the 10 o’clock and 6 o’clock sockets with a “short-no
short” motion. Each time a contact is made, the DISTANCE total should increase by increments of 1 or
more counts.
4. If DISTANCE does not increase, remove the section of cable and repeat test at connector next closest to
Console. Replace defective cable as required.
5. Perform above voltage checks.
6. If all cables test good, replace Speed Sensor.
NOTE: After testing is complete, re-enter correct SPEED CAL number before application.
Voltage Readings
1)2 o’clock socket to 6 o’clock socket = +5 VDC.
2)2 o’clock socket to 10 o’clock socket = +5 VDC.
NOTE: If a +5 VDC voltage reading is not present, disconnect the Speed Sensor cable. If the Flow reading is
restored, Test the Speed Sensor cable per Appendix “PROCEDURE TO TEST SPEED SENSOR
EXTENSION CABLES”.
8. To verify Flow Meter calibration, fill applicator tank with a predetermined amount of measured liquid (i.e.
250 gallons). DO NOT RELY ON GRADUATION NUMBERS MOLDED INTO APPLICATOR TANK. Empty
the applicator tank under normal operating conditions. If the number displayed under TOTAL VOLUME is
different from the predetermined amount of measured liquid by more than +/- 3%, complete the following
calculation:
EXAMPLE:
METER CAL = 720 [190]
TOTAL VOLUME = 260 [984]
Predetermined amount of measured liquid = 250 [946]

The console has been reprogrammed for the default constants for the software installed, be sure and
reprogram the console with the appropriate constants as required.
1. Set the display selector switch to SPEED, observe the units to be in the US setting.
2. Select the OPERATE mode.
3. Press the DECREASE switch for about five (5) seconds to select METRIC mode.
2. RESPONSE TO ALL BOOMS OFF Boom and pump switches are OFF.
Select power ON and OPERATE.
Set the display selector to IMPL. WIDTH.
Selected response will be indicated by holding the INCREASE switch up until it displays either HoLD or
CLOSE.
Continuing to hold the INCREASE switch will cause the display to cycle between the two (2) responses.
The response displayed when the INCREASE switch is the response set when all boom switches are
turned OFF.
NOTE: SPX units must be set to HOLD.

Procedure To Test The Flow Meter Sensor Output To The ARC Console.
This procedure works best with two people, one to perform the actions required and one to observe the
reaction of the control console.
Perform this test without the engine running. You do not need actual pump output from the main
product pump.
1. Put the main valve in manual override, “Flow Contl OFF Auto”
2. Make sure there is at least some speed entered in the GSO (SPEED and SET-UP) position and turn ON
the GSO switch (if equipped).
3. Set the flow meter calibration number to 1.0. Put the display selector to the TOTAL APPLIED position.
4. Turn ON the boom master switch (make sure at least one of the boom indicators is lit on the console face).
5. Unplug the flow meter adapter cable (Case Tyler Supplied) from the flow meter.
6. Using a knife blade, screwdriver, nail, etc., carefully short across pins 1 and 2 on the adapter cable
connector. You should observe one count accumulation on the console display every time you make and
break the contact on pins 1 and 2.
NOTE: BE CAREFUL: Shorting the power connection (Pin 3) to either Pin 1 or Pin 2 will blow a fuse and
possibly damage the control console.
2 - Signal
1 - Ground 3 - +5V
• If counts accumulate normally, the problem is associated with the flow meter.
• If counts do not accumulate normally, follow the adapter cable back toward the console until you find the
three pin Weatherpack connector in the frame harness. Disconnect the adapter cable from the main har-
ness. Using a VOLT/OHM METER, test the pins on the frame harness connection.
• If these voltages are present, the problem must be in the frame harness.
• If these voltages are not correct, disconnect the 405-0156 from the back of the console, and check for the
correct voltages on Pins 2, 3 & 5 of the Flow Control connector (Control Channel-C for the TASC 6100), as
shown in the table (See page 8000-32 of this manual).
• If the voltages at the back of the console are correct, the 405-0156 is defective.
• If the voltages are not correct the console is defective.
• If all voltage checks are correct, and shorting between the signal line and ground at all connections does
not result in the console counting gallons, the console is defective and should be returned to MID-TECH for
repairs.
NOTE: The 405-0156 flow control cable contains a voltage regulator that converts the +12V flowmeter power
line (Pin 2 on the console flow control connector) to +5V at Pin A where 405-0156 connects to the
frame harness.

Verifying The Acre Count
If you suspect the acre accumulator is not working correctly, it is easy to verify its accuracy.
You will need an accurately measured mile, for example a straight road between two sections.
1. First, zero the distance accumulator and drive the distance to check the accuracy of the speed sensor.
If you are not reading within 50 feet in a mile, calibrate the speed sensor.
NOTE: Do not rely on your vehicles’ odometer as inaccuracies of up to ten percent are typical.
2. Next, calculate the area covered in one mile by your vehicle when applying at the full swath width.
Use the formula: AREA = (5280 feet X SWATH WIDTH in feet) / 43560 FT2
3. Drive to the start of the measured mile.
Set the area accumulators to zero using the DECREASE switch.
4. Put the valve in manual override (See Page 8000-27).
5. Turn the booms ON (since you will not actually be discharging product you can leave them folded in), and
drive to the other end of the measured mile.
6. Turn the booms OFF and check the area accumulator.
You should be reading within one percent of the calculated area.
EXAMPLE: A vehicle with a 60 foot swath width will cover 7.27 acres in a distance of one measured mile (5280
feet). An area accumulator reading between 7.20 and 7.34 would represent an area accumulator
accuracy of one percent or better.
Perform this test without the engine running. You do not need actual pump output from the main
product pump.
1. Put the valve into manual override. “Flow Contl OFF Auto”.
• Hold INC switch UP and observe the valve stem rotates OPEN.
• Hold DEC switch DOWN and observe the valve stem rotates CLOSED.
• Full open to full closed is about a 90° rotation of the valve stem for a MID-TECH valve (about 3
seconds).
If the valve responds properly, all is OK. Look somewhere else for the source of the problem.
3. Check for proper power at the six pin PACKARD connector between the frame harness and the valve
driver.
With a Volt/Ohm Meter (VOM), test pins A, B, C. and D on the flow control cable, six pin connector.
• Hold the INC switch UP, measure voltage rising to +12 VDC at pin C, measured to pin D.
• Hold DEC switch DOWN, measure voltage rising to +12 VDC at pin D, measured to pin C.
• Pin A should be a continuous +12 VDC, measured to ground on pin B.
If power checks OK, problem is in the valve driver. Remove and replace.
4. Repeat step 3 (first two steps only) where the 405-0156 cable meets the frame harness in the electrical
side panel.
5. Check for proper output from the control console.
Disconnect the 405-1056 from the back of the console.
With a Volt/Ohm Meter (VOM), test pins 1 and 4.
Hold the INC switch UP, measure voltage rising to +12 VDC at pin 1, measured to pin 4.
Hold DEC switch DOWN, measure voltage rising to +12 VDC at pin 4, measured to pin 1.
NOTE: BE CAREFUL: Not to short between the pins as damage to the console may occur.
If power checks OK, the fault is in the flow control cable. Remove and repair or replace.
If power does not check, the fault is in the console. Remove and repair or replace.
