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.

Prepare the coolant solution as follows:

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.

Changing the Hydraulic Oil


• As specified in Periodic Maintenance section of this manual (Recommended After Every 500 Hours),
• Whenever contamination is suspected or
• Once a year when the vehicle is put in storage.

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.

SPX 4260 Troubleshooting Manual


Issued 2-03 Printed in U.S.A. Maintenence
1003 - 8
NOTE: If the natural color of the fluid has become black or milky, it is possible that an overheating or water
contaminant problem exists. If either of these situations exist determine the cause and make the necessary
repairs then change the oil and filters.

Hydraulic Oil Specifications


Use only hydraulic oils specified. (Use of unspecified oil will void your warranty.)

Oil Type ......................................................................................................................... Case HY-TRAN ULTRA®


Tank Capacity................................................................................................................. 94.6 Liters (25 U.S. Gal)

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.

Hydraulic Oil Filters


IMPORTANT: Filtration of hydraulic oil is critical to proper lubrication. Use only filters meeting performance
specifications. Use of improper filters may lead to premature hydraulic failure and will void your warranty.

This vehicle has a in-tank return filter (Item 1) that is a 6


micron Beta=75 (absolute) which is located on top of the
hydraulic tank and two hydrostatic charge filters (Item 2)
which are a 5 micron Beta=75 (absolute) located on either
side of the hydraulic pumps.

Change the hydraulic oil filters according to the following: 1

• Change the hydraulic oil filters as specified in the


Periodic Maintenance section.
• Change the hydraulic oil filters when oil is changed
seasonally.
• Change the in-tank return filter (Item 1) element when
the visual indicator shows red at normal operating
temperature at full engine rpm. (The hydraulic
reservoir is pressurized; release pressure (Item 3) 3
before opening the filter housing.)

P0001291

• Change the hydrostatic charge system filters (Item 2),


release tank pressure before opening the filter
housing.
• Change the hydraulic oil filters, if hydraulic oil is being
changed, when contamination is suspected.

Cleaning the Hydraulic System
IMPORTANT: All hydraulic fluid is dirty! Anytime the hydraulic system(s) is opened up for repairs and/or
anytime fluid is changed or added, it must be assumed that contaminants are being introduced to the system.
Cleanliness cannot be overemphasized. Changing the oil filter and oil at the proper intervals is necessary to
maintain quality and a reliable system.

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.

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.

• Check tank for signs of wear in places where the tank


has been welded. Check the tank mounts to insure
the tank is secure to the frame.
• Check the fittings for broken parts, cracks, wear
marks or other signs of potential leaks.
• Check fitting gaskets for deterioration. They have a
shorter life than the tank itself. Look for discoloration,
bulges, or checking. All of these symptoms could indi-
cate potential failure.
• Inspect the valves and/or pumps that are connected
P0001288
to the tank. Also inspect the hoses and connections
for any signs of wear.

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.

Trailing Arm Pivot Area

Clean the trailing arm pivot area every 10 hours. Be sure


suspension, wheel motor and spring are free from mud.

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.

Use a good grade of diesel fuel which complies with


P0001307
specification SAE/ASTM EN 590 or equivalent in your
Case diesel engine. The use of a low grade fuel will result
in loss of engine power and high fuel consumption.

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.

The use of Diesel Fuel Conditioner will:

• 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.

Engine Oil Level

To check the engine oil level:

1. Put the sprayer on level ground and stop the


engine. 1
2. Wait for 15 minutes for the oil to settle before check- 2
ing the oil level.
3. Make sure the dipstick (Item 1) is pushed com-
pletely down before checking the oil level.
4. If the oil level is below the ADD mark, add oil,
through the filler tube (Item 2), to raise the oil level P0002485
to the FULL mark. DO NOT raise the oil level above
the FULL mark.

SPX 4260 Troubleshooting Manual


Issued 2-03 Printed in U.S.A. Maintenence
1003 - 14
Checking Hydraulic Oil Level
Check the hydraulic oil level daily. When fluid is not visible on the bottom of the sight gauge, add hydraulic fluid
to the top of the sight gauge. Do not overfill the hydraulic tank.

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.

Checking the Coolant Level


Check the coolant level in the coolant recovery tank every 10 hours of operation or daily. DO NOT REMOVE
THE RADIATOR CAP.

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

Check dynamic brake for proper operation every 10


hours of operation and each time the machine is
started.

Depressing the brake pedal will deactivate the propel


handle and stop the machine. The pedal should feel
firm. Return the propel handle to neutral to regain
control handle function.

See your documentation packet for information on


servicing the disc brakes located on the front wheel DCP01787
hubs.

Indicators, Switches and Lights


Check all indicators, switches and lights for correct operation after every 10 hours of operation. Replace any
parts that are not working correctly.

Wheels and Tires

 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.

SPX 4260 Troubleshooting Manual


Issued 2-03 Printed in U.S.A. Maintenence
1003 - 15

 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.

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.

To check the hub lubricant:


1 in.
1. Rotate the wheel so that the check plug is 1 in.
below center point of the wheel as shown. Plug
2. Remove the check plug using a 1/4” Allen head
wrench. If oil is at this level, it's at the correct oper-
ating level and the plug should be inserted. If oil is DCP01874
below hole, add 85W90 GL-5 gear lube or 85W140
in warmer climates until oil just begins to run out.
3. Insert check plug.

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.

Engine Air Filter


The engine air cleaner contains 2 elements in the housing. The
outer element is the primary air cleaner and the inner element
is the secondary (safety) air cleaner. When servicing air
cleaners, you must inspect all ducting between the air cleaner
housing and engine intake for air leak that would allow dirt to
enter the engine.

NOTE: The primary element and the secondary element need


to be replaced, not cleaned. It is important that the correct air
filter elements be used as engine failure can be caused by
incorrect filter elements or improper service.

This vehicle is equipped with an air restriction light in the


instrument panel and a restriction indicator on the air cleaner DCP01777
that locks up at the last highest operating condition. The light is
off until air filter is restricted/plugged.

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.

Operation should not continue or engine damage can occur.

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.

Changing the Filter Elements


1. Remove air cleaner compartment cover.
2. Remove the primary filter element by pulling straight out.
3. Remove secondary filter element by pulling straight out.
4. Clean inside of air cleaner body, seal and cover.
5. Install new secondary filter element by pushing straight in. Ensure that element is fully seated in seal.
6. Install new primary filter element by pushing straight in. Ensure that element is fully seated in seal.

Checking the Air Supply
1. Disconnect the air supply line from the engine at the air regulator near the foam tank. With the engine at
low idle and under no load there will be no air flow from the airline. Starting at about ¾ throttle without a
load on the engine air will begin to flow and will increase until full throttle. This will be a relatively low
pressure, but should be sufficient to operate the system although somewhat sluggishly. The reason there is
no air flow at a low idle is that the check valve in the line from the engine to the regulator will require from 2
to 3 psi to open. The check valve serves two purposes, 1) to maintain a head of pressure in the tank during
low pressure output from the turbo and 2) most importantly to eliminate any possibility of air moving back
into the engine. Because of this it will be possible to vent the foam tank and fill the foam tank with the
engine running as long as it is at low idle.
2. If no air flow exits under the above conditions. The check valve may be faulty or installed incorrectly.

Troubleshooting the Tank


It should be noted that a low pressure or no pressure reading on the cab gauge during periods of engine idle
should not be cause for concern. This pressure will increase very rapidly when the machine is moved and an
ample supply of air will be available by the time the machine is moved a very short distance. The tank should
hold pressure with the engine off and the system not operating. If this does not happen look into possible loose
or broken air lines or improperly operating air and liquid valves.

Troubleshooting the System


1. Disconnect the Synflex hoses where they mount to the foam mixing chambers on the booms.
2. The larger of the two Synflex hoses is the air supply. It should not have any air flow with the system in the
off position. By turning on the right or left boom, this line should have a continuous flow of air only. Also, this
line needs to snap into the portion of the Tee at the mixing head that goes straight, not the line from the tee
side. When checking this connection into the Tee. The straight inline fitting should have a nozzle like
appearing tip that is screwed into the Tee. This should be noticeable when looking into the fitting.
3. With the same boom selected the smaller of the two Synflex lines should be squirting out a pulsating
stream of liquid. This is controlled by the potentiometer in the cab and should be adjustable from very slow
to quite rapid. If the flow is continuous either the time delay is faulty or the system is hooked up incorrectly.
4. During this entire procedure the opposing boom should not have air flow or liquid flow of any kind.
5. Reattach the Synflex lines making sure the larger line goes to the straight in portion of the Tee and has the
nozzle or venture tip on the fitting inside of the Tee. The system should now make foam and be adjustable.

ENGINE OIL CONSUMPTION


Problem and Analysis Guide
Before any action is taken on a high oil consumption complaint, it must be determined that a problem exists.
External leaks can appear to be minor, but in fact can be the cause of the loss of a considerable amount of oil
which the operator may complain of as high oil consumption because oil is being added frequently.

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.

Checking for Oil Consumption


Oil consumption on diesel engines is based on fuel used and is stated as engine oil/fuel ratio. The typical or
normal oil consumption ratio for diesel engines ranges from .15% to .35%. To obtain the ratio for a specific
engine, consult the engine manufacturers specifications. To obtain an accurate measurement of the engine
oil/fuel ratio, the following guidelines must be followed:

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.

Reasons for Oil Consumption


1. New engines - short hours:
• Engine not properly broken in. (Engine not being sufficiently loaded.)
• Improper checks as to actual amount of consumption. (See procedure for checking oil consumption
above.)
• External leaks - front or rear seal, etc.
2. Engines with extended use:
• External oil leaks. A few continuous drops of oil add up quickly. (Check crankcase pressure to determine if
a teardown is needed.)

• Restricted crankcase breather element or tube. High crankcase pressure causes oil to leak at crankshaft
seals.
• Turbocharger. Check oil in the crossover tube or intake manifold which would indicate a turbo seal leak.
• Turbocharge - Excessive exhaust smoke indicating oil carryover into the turbine of the turbocharge due to
worn bearings or seal leakage.
• Worn guides with restricted air intake (NA only).
• Worn piston rings, scored pistons and sleeves (check crankcase pressure before teardown).
Causes:
a. Air induction system admitting dirt. See section on checking this system before teardown.
b. Anti-freeze in oil. See section on checking this system before teardown.
c. Poor engine oil and air cleaner maintenance.
3. Engines recently overhauled:
• Rings improperly installed (inverted top or second rings).
• Worn valve guides - not properly cleaned or improper guide seals used.
NOTE: Use of “will fit” guide seals can “dry up” guides causing greatly accelerated wear in
short hours.
• Cylinder sleeves (worn and scored). Not properly cleaned before installed. Honing (not recommended).
Use of heavy grease on o-rings causing piston or sleeve scoring.
• Debris left in engine during servicing. Valve grinding dust in cylinder head ports. Turbocharger or intake
manifold or pipes not cleaned.
• Air induction system admitting dirt. See section on checking this system before teardown.
• Anti-freeze in engine oil. See section on checking this system before teardown.
• Improper break-in after overhaul. Scoring rings or sleeves by putting on too high a load too soon. Too light
a load to “seat” rings.

PROBLEM - EXHAUST “SLOBBER”


Causes for Exhaust “Slobber” on Diesel Engines
It is fairly common for a black liquid substance to run out of the exhaust manifold on diesel engines. This
substance is usually thin enough to leak from any joint that is not sealed with a gasket. Some observers have
mistakenly concluded that the “slobber” is engine lubricating oil and that something is wrong with the engine.
They may relate this to oil consumption even when the consumption is within acceptable limits.

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.

INSPECTING THE DAMPER


Check the index lines (A) on the damper hub (B) and
the inertia member (C). If the lines are more than 1.59
mm (1/16 inch) out of alignment, replace the damper.

Inspect the vibration damper hub (B) for cracks.


Replace the damper if the hub is cracked.

Inspect the rubber member for deterioration. If pieces


of rubber are missing or if the elastic is more than
3.18 mm (1/8 inch) below the metal surface, replace
the damper.

NOTE: Also look for forward movement of the damper


ring on the hub. Replace the damper if any movement LWF1
is detected.

GENERAL ELECTRICAL INFORMATION


Electrical Circuits Compared to Hydraulic
Electrical circuits are considered hard to understand because we cannot see anything happening.
For instance if we take one end of a wire and attach it to a 12 volt source, turn on the switch, nothing
appears to be happening at the open end of the wire. However, if we take one end of a hydraulic
hose and connect the other end to a source, turn on the valve, the result will be hydraulic fluid flowing
out of the hose. You can clearly see the results with hydraulic fluid.

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.

Both systems use a measurement of flow –

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.

Both systems have a unit of pressure –

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.

Both systems have a unit of resistance –


In hydraulics, the “resistance” of a particular component such as a hose is called the pressure drop.
The amount of pressure drop depends on factors similar to those of the Ohm. The length, cross-
sectional area, and viscosity of the fluid (temperature dependent) are some, but not all, factors that
affect pressure drop.
Electrical systems and electronics typically measure resistance in Ohms. The amount of resistance
of any conductor depends on its length, cross-sectional area, and resistivity. Resistivity is a
parameter that depends on the molecular structure of the material and the temperature.
As you may have noticed, hydraulic units of measure change depending on the system of
measurement. However, electricity and electronics use a more “universal” language. Volts are Volts
no matter where in the world you are; same with Ohms and Amperes.

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.

The load (resistance) must be present.

• 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 fuse protects components if a short circuit should occur. In other words, the fuse will “blow” before
the light (load) or wiring is ruined.

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.

Formulas to remember:

E=IxR Voltage = Current x Resistance


I = E/R Current = Voltage/Resistance
R = E/I Resistance = Voltage/Current

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.

Self-powered Test Light

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.

Fused Jumper Wire

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

Current is measured in amperes (amps). Measurements of less than one are


measured in milliamps (thousands of a amp). For example 200mA =.2 amps.
Note: Your meter may not be able to handle current in excess of 100mA. Be
certain to know how much the meter will handle and what you expect to see
before measuring the current.

Voltage is measured in volts. Be sure to set the meter to the correct scale before
measuring the voltage. Know the maximum voltage of the system (SPX Series is
12 volts nominal).

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.

• The meter only reads differences in potential.


• If you connect the red lead to ground and the black lead to hot the meter will deflect below zero (if
analog); and if digital read the correct voltage with a negative sign -12 volts.
• If read across the battery you will read the source voltage.
• If read across S1 closed you will read zero; and across S1 open 12 volts.
• If read across the fuse you will get zero unless the fuse is open then you will get 12 volts.
• If read across the bulb you will get near source voltage if it is good and full source voltage if it is
bad.
• If read across a good piece of wire zero volts and if read across and open piece of wire 12 volts.

SPX 4260 Troubleshooting Manual


Issued 2-03 Printed in U.S.A. Electrical System

To measure current the meter must be connected in series 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.

To measure resistance we must be connected in parallel with the circuit.

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 you reverse your leads you will not know unless you are testing a diode. When testing a diode,
test it with leads in one direction then swap leads to the other direction, you should see a high
reading in one direction and a low in the other.

• 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

Use the following 4-step approach when troubleshooting.

Step 1: Check the problem

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.

Step 2: Read the electrical schematic

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.

SPX 4260 Troubleshooting Manual


Issued 2-03 Printed in U.S.A. Electrical System
4000 - 13
Step 3: Find the cause and repair it

¸ Narrow down the possible causes


¸ Isolate the problem circuit(s)
¸ Make necessary circuit measurements outlined on the schematic
¸ Before replacing a component, check power, signal, and ground wires at the component
harness connector. If these are OK, chances are the component is bad.

Step 4: Test the repair

Repeat the system check to be sure you have fixed the whole problem.

TROUBLESHOOTING TESTS

Testing for continuity

1. Disconnect the battery.


2. Connect one lead of a self-powered test light or ohmmeter to one end of the part of the circuit
you wish to test.
3. Connect the other lead to the other end of the circuit.
4. If the self-powered test light glows or the ohmmeter reads low or no resistance means good
continuity.

Testing for voltage drop

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.

2. Connect a test light or voltmeter across the fuse terminals (be sure there is power at the fuse).
3. 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 test light or
voltmeter.
4. When the test light glows, or the voltmeter registers, there is a short to ground in the wiring near
that point.

When fuses power several loads.

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.

Testing for current

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.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEMS SCHEMATICS AND DIAGNOSTICS


Power Distribution System Circuit Operation
Power distribution consists of the following:

1. Unswitched battery power. Unswitched power is available at all times. The battery positive terminal is
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.

Power Distribution Circuit Troubleshooting


Before troubleshooting the power distribution system make sure that the following operating conditions are
met:

1. The batteries are fully charged and all connections are clean and tight.
2. Transmission in neutral or park.
3. Check all connectors for full installation, loose, corroded or pushed out terminals.
4. Determine if the power source being investigated is switched or unswitched.
5. If the power source problem is a switched power source, the relay controlling the circuit needs to be
determined and tested.

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 remote starter button is needed to actuate the starter.

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.
1
1. If the VAT-33 tester is being used:
A. Select the 0 to 100 ampere range. 3
B. Select the 18 to 40 volt range.
C. Move the volt lead switch to the EXT. Position.
2
D. Turn the load control to the OFF position.

2. Fasten the starter securely in a vise or use another 1. Positive Battery Cable 2. Battery Terminal
method to prevent the starter from moving during the 3. Negative Battery Cable
following test procedures.
3. Connect the positive battery cable to the battery ter-

Understanding No Load Results
1. If the current draw and the armature shaft speed are within the ranges under Specifications, the starter is
good.
2. Low armature shaft speed and high current draw are indications of too much friction. Possible causes of
too much friction are:
A. Tight, dirty or worn bearings.
B. A bent armature shaft.
C. Loose pole shoes (pole shoes make contact with the armature).
E. A short circuit in the armature coil. Disassemble the starter. Use an armature tester to check the
armature. Use the instructions included with the armature tester.
F. Damaged field coil.
3. If the armature does not rotate and the current draw is high, possible causes are:
A. Field terminal is making contact with the field frame. Inspect the insulators for the field terminal.
B. Damaged field coil.
C. Damaged bearings.
4. If the armature does not rotate and the current draw is zero, possible causes are:
A. An open field coil circuit. Disassemble the starter and inspect the field coil connections.
B. An open armature coil. Disassemble the starter and check for burned commutator bars. Use an
armature tester to check the armature. Use the instructions included with the armature tester.
C. Brushes are not making good contact with the commutator bars. Check for high insulation between the
commutator bars, broken brush springs, or worn brushes.
5. Low armature shaft speed and low current draw are indications of:
A. Dirt or corrosion on connections.
B. Damaged wiring.
C. Dirty commutator bars.
6. High armature shaft speed and high current draw are indications of a short circuit in the field coil. It is diffi-
cult to find a short circuit in a field coil. Install a new field coil. Do the no load test again to check for
improvement in the operation of the starter.

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.

NOTE: Add water only. DO NOT add electrolyte.

INSPECTING AND CLEANING A BATTERY


Visually inspect the batteries for dirt, corrosion and damage. Electrolyte and dirt on top of the battery can
cause the battery to discharge by making a passage for current to flow.

If damage causes an electrolyte leak, replace the battery.

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.

BATTERY CONDITION CHECK


• The following procedure will tell if a battery is fit for service or if the battery must be replaced.

• Inspect the battery before testing. Many conditions can be seen and corrected before battery problems
occur.

• Inspect the battery case for cracks and leaks.

• 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.

• Check the battery carrier to make sure the carrier is in


good condition. Check battery brackets for the correct
tension. A loose battery bracket will allow the battery
to vibrate. Vibration will damage the battery. Battery
brackets which are too tight can buckle or crack the
battery case.

• Check battery for raised cell covers or a warped case.


This may indicate that the battery has been over-
heated or overcharged.

• Take a hydrometer reading of each battery cell, see


MS96B071
Specific Gravity Check.

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.

SPECIFIC GRAVITY CHECK


A hydrometer is used to make a test of the electrolyte in the
battery. The test will indicate the specific gravity (weight) of the
electrolyte. The specific gravity (weight) of the electrolyte tells the
approximate level of charge in each cell of the battery.

NOTE: If water has been added to the battery, the hydrometer


reading will be false. Apply a fast charge for 15 minutes.
Then take a hydrometer reading of each battery cell.
Hydrometers are calibrated to give the correct reading when the
temperature of the electrolyte is 80oF (27oC).
Some hydrometers include a thermometer. If your hydrometer does
not include a thermometer, a separate thermometer will be required
to take the temperature of the electrolyte.
When using a hydrometer, always remove enough electrolyte from a
battery cell to allow the float in the hydrometer to float freely. Check
MS96B072
float reading at eye level, making sure float does not make contact
with the glass. Write the float reading for each battery cell on a piece of paper.
Compare float reading with electrolyte temperature.
SPX 4260 Troubleshooting Manual
Issued 2-03 Printed in U.S.A. Battery
4002 - 9

Temperature In Degrees Fahrenheit - oF


• Electrolyte temperature above 80oF. Add 4 points (.004) to the float reading for each 10o above 80oF.
• Electrolyte temperature below 80oF. Subtract 4 points (.004) from the float reading for each 10o below
80oF.

Temperature In Degrees Celsius - oC


• Electrolyte temperature above 27oC. Add 4 points (.004) to the float reading for each 6o above 27oC.
• Electrolyte temperature below 27oC. Subtract 4 points (.004) from the float reading for each 6o below 27oC.

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.

CAPACITY (LOAD) TEST


The capacity of a battery is the ability to give current and maintain voltage. If the battery passes the
capacity test, the battery is in satisfactory condition. However, the battery may need additional charging.
When a battery is cold, below 80oF (27oC), the battery can have a lower discharge capacity. If a cold
battery fails the capacity test, let the battery stand until the temperature reaches 80oF (27oC). Then test
the battery again.

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.

THREE MINUTE CHARGE TEST


Make this test on batteries that have not passed the Capacity Test.

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.

3. Turn the battery charger on.


4. Turn the battery charger time switch past 3 minutes and then back to 3 minutes.
5. Adjust the charging switch to the highest rate without exceeding 40 amperes for a 12 volt battery.
6. When the time switch on the battery charger returns to slow charge, after 3 minutes, reset the time switch
to fast charge.
7. Check the volt meter reading while the battery charger is on fast charge.

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.

TESTING BATTERY CELLS WITH CADMIUM PROBES


The cadmium probes are used with a Battery Starter Tester and a Volt Meter. The cadmium probes check
cell voltage on batteries with hard covers.
Disconnect the wire leads from the volt meter. Check the volt meter gauge, the gauge needle must be on
zero. Adjust the gauge needle if necessary.
Connect the wire leads to the cadmium probes and to the volt meter.
Set the volt meter to the 0 to 4 volt range. Remove the vent/fill caps from the battery.
The following test procedure will indicate the cells by number. The cell at the positive terminal end of the
battery is number 1.

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.

BATTERY LEAKAGE TEST


Electrolyte, dirt, water, etc. on the top of a battery will cause the battery to discharge. This material on the top
of a battery gives a path for current to flow, permitting the battery to discharge.

1. Turn the voltage switch on the tester to the 4 volt position.


2. Connect the negative wire of the volt meter to the negative post on the battery.
3. Move the positive wire of the volt meter around the surface of the battery. When moving the positive wire
around the battery, do not contact the positive post cell connector straps with the positive wire.
4. Check the volt meter for needle movement.
If the gauge needle indicated movement, the battery has foreign material on the case. When this condition
is present, remove the battery from the vehicle. Clean the outside of the battery. Also clean the battery
tray. When cleaning a battery, use a solution of baking soda or ammonia and water. Check and clean the
battery cables if necessary.

BATTERY FAST CHARGING


IMPORTANT: Before fast charging a battery, always test the battery. DO NOT fast charge a battery
that has not passed the Three Minute Charge Test.

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:

• Ampere hour rating on batteries vary.


• The temperature of the electrolyte in the battery.
• Current stage of charge the battery is in.
• The age and condition of the battery.
See the chart on this page for charging rates and times for a fully discharged battery.
The battery can be charged at any ampere rate, shown in the chart, as long as the electrolyte in the battery
does not boil over or the temperature does not go over 125oF (52oC). If the electrolyte in the battery boils over
or the temperature goes over 125oF (52oC), the charging rate must be decreased or stopped to prevent
damage to the battery.
A battery will be fully charged, when after a two hour period the following conditions occur:

• All battery cells are gassing freely (not boiling over)


• No change in the specific gravity of the electrolyte
• Specific gravity of the electrolyte is approximately 1.260
Fill each battery cell with electrolyte until the level of the electrolyte is even with the split ring at the bottom of
each cell opening.

ACTIVATING CHARGED BATTERIES


To activate a dry charged battery fill each battery cell with electrolyte (a solution of sulfuric acid and water) that
has a specific gravity reading of 1.260. Fill each battery cell until the level of the electrolyte is even with the split
ring at the bottom of each cell opening.
Let the battery set for 10 minutes, then check the level of the electrolyte in each battery cell. Add
additional electrolyte to the battery cells if necessary, DO NOT add water. Adding water to the battery cell
will give you a battery with bad performance and a short life.
Before putting the battery into service, make the following tests:

• 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.

When the alternator is operating, AC voltage is generated 3


in the stator coils. The diodes in the rectifier bridge MA99D002
change this AC voltage to a DC voltage. This DC voltage
is available at the alternator B+ terminal. This DC voltage
and current also flows through the exciter diodes to the voltage regulator and to the field coil. This extra flow of
current to the field coil makes the magnetic field stronger which increases the alternator output.

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.

SAFE METHODS TO BE USED WHEN MAKING REPAIRS ON


ALTERNATOR SYSTEM
Do not clean the alternator with a solvent or steam. This can cause damage to the internal parts of the
alternator.

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.

2. With the engine stopped, the key switch in the OFF


position and the light switch in the ROAD position, 3
check the lamps on the analyzer. The No. 2 lamp illu-
minated indicates good batteries. If the No. 2 and No.
4 lamps are both illuminated, check for a bad cell in
the batteries.

3. Run the engine at rated speed. Turn the light switch to 3
the ROAD position. Wait for the charging system to 4
become stable and check the indicator lamps on the
analyzer. If no lamps are illuminated the charging
system is normal. If lamp No. 1 is illuminated replace
the voltage regulator. If lamp No. 2 or No. 2 and No. 4 T94116
are illuminated, see part C below. If lamp No. 3 or No.
2 and No. 3 are illuminated, disassemble the alternator and check the components.

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.

System Check (Method Two)

1. Make sure that the batteries are fully charged and that
all wiring harness leads are connected. Turn all 2
accessories OFF.

4. Run the engine at rated speed. Check to make sure


that all accessories are turned OFF. Connect the 8
positive lead of the voltmeter to the positive stud 7
(Item 4) on the battery. Connect the negative lead of
the voltmeter to the negative terminal (Item 5) of the 4
battery. If the reading on the voltmeter is 15 volts or
more, disassemble the alternator and check the
components.

5. Disconnect the battery negative cables from the


negative terminal on the starter. Connect an ammeter
(Item 6) in the circuit at the B+ terminal (Item 7) of the 6
alternator. Connect the battery negative cables to the 5
negative terminal on the starter. Turn the light switch
MA99D003
to the ROAD position and connect a battery load
tester (Item 8) (see Special Tools page) across the
battery terminals (Item 4)(Item 5). Run the engine at rated speed and adjust the battery load tester for
maximum current output.

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.

CHECKING ALTERNATOR OUTPUT ON BENCH


Install the alternator onto an alternator-generator tester. Follow the instructions supplied with the tester for
testing the alternator.

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.

1. Apply rotation to the alternator shaft and slowly


increase the shaft RPM. The reading on the voltmeter 4
will increase with speed, but must not increase
beyond 15 volts at maximum speed. If the voltage
increases beyond 15 volts, check to make sure that
there is not an electrical connection between the slip 5
rings and ground. Test the voltage regulator and
replace if bad before continuing to part 2 below.
2. If voltage in part 1 is less than 15 volts, connect the
carbon pile across the battery. Operate the alternator
at 5000 RPM and increase the load on the carbon pile
until the alternator shows maximum output on the
ammeter. The amperage read on the ammeter must
not be less than 130 amperes.

NOTE: Use heavy gauge wire for all connections. 2 3

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.

High Pressure Test


M2 Forward M1 Forward
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: When testing the system pressure on the


hydrostatic loop, 10,000 psi gauges are necessary.

1. Disconnect parking brake quick connect.


2. For checking forward loop pressure, 10,000 psi M1 Reverse M2 Reverse
gauges must be installed on port M2 of the left hand
hydrostatic pump and on M1of the right hand hydro- P0002645-2
static pump. Quick connections are installed on each
of the pumps for your convenience.
3. Start the engine and warm the hydraulic oil to a minimum of 120 degrees F.
4. Increase the engine RPM to normal operating speed
5. Disengage the parking brake lever located on the lower left corner of the operator's seat.
6. Move the hydrostatic control lever forward, as if to propel the unit in a forward motion.
7. Have a second individual observe what pressures are attained on both hydraulic gauges.
8. After reading is taken, return hydrostatic lever to the neutral position and return throttle to low idle.
9. When checking the reverse loop pressure, install the 10,000 psi gauges on port M1 of the left hand hydro-
static pump and on M2 of the right hand hydrostatic pump (Quick connects are provided on these ports).
10. Follow the above stated procedures, but move the hydrostatic control handle rearward, as if to propel the
unit in reverse.

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.

Parking Brake Quick Disconnect
This component is located behind the right hand front axle
tube. It is used primarily as a troubleshooting aid when
testing certain hydraulic components. By disconnecting
the fitting (1), no oil is supplied to the planetary drive hubs
allowing the internal parking brakes to be remain
released.

P0002647

Charge Pressure Test Port


The test ports provided to check or verify charge pressure
on the hydrostatic systems are located on the external
filter head of each hydrostatic pump. There are two ports
on each filter head. To correctly measure charge
pressure, the gauge must be installed in the “after filter”
port. These ports are closest to the case of the pump.

1. To correctly measure charge pressure, the hydraulic


oil should be at a minimum of 120 degrees F.
2. Install either a 600 or 1000 psi gauge on port M3
(after filter) of each hydrostatic pump. The right hand
pump is equipped with a quick connect, while the left
hand pump has a JIC fitting provided which can be P0002653
accessed by removing the cap.
3. Remove one end of the hydraulic hose (1) connecting
the two “before filter” ports on the filter heads. Install a
plug in the hose, then cap the filter head fitting. This
process eliminates the sharing of pre-filtered oil
between the two charge pressure loops and will show 1
only that particular pump's true charge pressure.
4. Start the engine, then set the engine rpm level to
approximately 1300 rpm (This setting is required for
proper pump rpm). The gear increaser is the reason
for the rpm difference between the engine and
hydrostatic pumps. The gear increaser is located
between the engine and hydrostatic pumps.

NOTE: This is a 1.38:1 gear increaser. Divide 1775 pump P0003160


rpm by 1.38 to arrive at the 1300 engine rpm.

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.

Access Ladder Cylinder
• The pressure to the access ladder cylinder is supplied by
charge pressure oil. The tie point for the pressure hose
attached to the blind end of the cylinder comes from the
downstream side of the park brake valve manifold. When
the park brake is disengaged, the charge pressure oil is
allowed to the blind end of the cylinder and extends the
rod, raising the ladder. The rod end of the cylinder is
drained off to the hydraulic reservoir.
• A.042” diameter orifice is installed at the blind end of the
cylinder to create a pressure drop and slow down the
speed at which the ladder is raised. P0003178
• If you have a low charge pressure reading and have veri-
fied that all wheel motor case drains are within specifications, plug or cap the supply line to the ladder fold
cylinder to verify the integrity of the seal within the cylinder.

NOTE: A faulty seal will allow charge pressure oil past the seal and thereby be drained back to the hydraulic
reservoir.

Wheel Motor Tests


Loop Flushing
Flow
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.
1
Loop flushing is a vital function of a closed loop hydraulic system.
It is responsible for cooling and cleaning of the hydrostatic system 2
by intentionally bleeding off a certain amount of oil. This process
removes some of the hot oil, as well as contaminants, from the
P0002656
system. The oil removed from the system is replaced by the
charge pump within the Series 90 hydrostatic pump.

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.

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.

Control Start Points (Threshold)-Wheel Motor shifting

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.

Test equipment needed for the following test:


1 - 600 psi gauge.
1 - 10,000 psi gauge.

1. Install the 600 psi gauge in the M7 port (1) or install a


tee fitting in the X1 port and then connect the pres-
sure gauge to the tee fitting.
2. Remove the existing plug fitting located in the M3 port
(2) of the wheel motor and install a test fitting. Con- 1
nect the 10,000 psi gauge to this fitting.
3. Disconnect the parking brake quick coupler.
4. Start the unit and warm the hydraulic oil to a minimum
of 120 degrees F. P0002656
5. Rotate the speed control knob clockwise to approxi-
mately one half of it's travel.
6. Increase the engine rpm level to the normal operating range.
7. Gradually move the hydrostatic control lever out of neutral as if to propel the unit in a forward motion. While
this is transpiring, a second individual is required to monitor the pressure gauges installed on the unit.
8. As the hydrostatic control lever is moving forward, the pressure reading on the gauge installed in the
M7/X1 port should gradually rise. While this pressure continues to rise, monitor the pressure on the gauge
installed in the M3 port. Once this gauge rapidly jumps in pressure, record the input (signal) pressure indi-
cated on the gauge installed in the M7/X1 port. This pressure should equal the factory set pressure as indi-
cated on the motor nameplate as found in the model code of that motor.
9. If the signal pressures on all four motors do not equal each other, adjustments must be made to the wheel
motors considered to be out of specification. Reference the Sauer-Danfoss Technical, Service, and Repair
Manuals for the correct adjustment procedure.

Pressure Limiter Valve
• The pressure limiter valve has two separate design
intents. The first being an engine protection device
during a rapid deceleration, the second allowing full
torque/flow when the hydrostatic control lever is
moved to the reverse position.
• If a unit experiences sluggish performance when
placed in reverse, an issue with the pressure limiter
valve may exist. This is mostly noticed with a full prod-
uct tank and soft ground conditions.
• When the hydrostatic control handle is in the neutral
or forward position, the valve is in it's normally open
state. Once the input pressure (coming from the P0003164
reverse side high pressure loop) exceeds the spring
setting, the valve opens allowing this higher pressure oil to act on the opposite side of the servo in the
hydrostatic pump, slowing down the rate at which the pump destrokes. This keeps the engine rpm level
from increasing during a rapid deceleration.

Test equipment needed for the following test:

1 - 0-5 Gallon Per Minute Flow Meter.

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.

Test equipment needed for the following test:

1 - Test Breakout Harness.


2 - 600 P.S.I. Pressure Gauges.
2 - Digital Multi-Meters.

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.

NOTE: This connector greatly increases effectiveness.

PCP Valve (Cont’d)
NOTE: The same procedure should be done on the wire running from pin “C” on one connector to pin “C” of
the opposing connector.

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.

4. Disconnect the parking brake quick coupler.


5. Start the unit.
6. Set the hydrostatic control lever to a set position in P0002659
either forward or reverse.
7. Record the two readings from the digital multimeters, At the same time, record the pressure readings on
the gauges, noting which pressure pertains to which gauge.
8. One milliamp differential input from the SX Controller to the PCP valve roughly equals 1 psi pressure differ-
ential output from the PCP valve to the hydraulic displacement controls of the pump and motors.

Product Pump Control Valve


The product pump control valve (1) is responsible for
allowing hydraulic oil to the liquid spray pump on the unit
allowing the pump to turn, thereby pushing product out to
the spray booms.

Test equipment needed for the following test:

1. 3000 P.S.I. Pressure Gauge.


1

To test the relief valve setting:

1. Install a 3000 psi pressure gauge in the line coming


P0002660
from the gear pump located on the left hand hydro-
static pump and the “P” port on the product pump
control valve.
2. The outlet or “M1” port of the product pump control valve must be blocked off or plugged.
3. Start the engine, then increase engine rpm level to the normal operating range.
4. Record the reading on the gauge.

NOTE: If reading is different than that specified on the hydraulic schematic, adjustment is necessary.

SPX 4260 Troubleshooting Manual


Issued 2-03 Printed in U.S.A. Hydraulic System
5000 - 11
To test hydraulic flow:

NOTE: A 0-20 or 0-30 gallon per minute flow meter is necessary for this test (preferably one with a load valve).

NOTE: Normal flow rates 17.5 GPM ±.5 GPM.

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.

NOTE: If the Flow Meter Test is within specifications, the


oil is possibly bypassing in the valve block itself
and additional testing of the valve is required.

3 Section Valve Bank


Axle Adjust And Boom Height

If problems are experienced with either of the two above


mentioned functions, some simple testing can be done to
1
rule out the valve block.

1. Check the electrical signal to the solenoid(s) (1) (this


is critical). P0002560

NOTE: When testing the solenoid(s) you should have


+12V at the connector while appropriate function
is used. Coils should measure 10-25 Ohms.

2. If the solenoid is receiving an adequate electrical sig-


nal, the next step is to verify oil flow to the specific 2
function.
3. Either install a flowmeter in one hydraulic line (2) or
disconnect the line and catch the contents in a con-
tainer.
4. Start the engine and warm the hydraulic oil to a mini-
mum of 120 degrees F.

tainer, the cartridge inside the manifold is working correctly.

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.

1. A 3000 psi pressure gauge may be installed in any of


the above mentioned ports (1). 1
2. Start the engine and warm the hydraulic oil to 120
degrees F.
3. Without activating any boom or axle functions, and
without moving the steering wheel, record the reading P0004155
on the pressure gauge.

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.

1. To test for leaking seals in the steering cylinders,


install cylinder stops as required to keep the stroke of
the cylinder at approximately 1/2 of its full stroke.
2. Start the engine and warm the hydraulic oil to a
minimum of 120 degrees F.
3. Center the front tires. ROD END BLIND END
4. Install cylinder stops to keep the front wheels from
turning when the steering wheel is moved. P0002663
5. Disconnect the hydraulic hose on the opposite end of
cylinder being tested. Example: If your testing the blind end of the cylinder, then disconnect the hydraulic
hose at the rod end).
6. Place the disconnected hose in a collection container.
7. Turn the wheel in the required direction and monitor the amount of oil, that is collected. If no oil is collected,
the seal is intact.

Park Brake Valve Block


• The parking brake is actuated by a cable attached to
the lever on the lower left side of the operator’s seat.
This cable connects to a manifold (1) located near the
left rear outside corner of the cab. As the Park Brake
is engaged or disengaged, the cartridge is actuated to 1
either supply oil to the parking brakes in the hubs or to
prohibit the oil from reaching the hub.
• The parking brakes within the drive hubs are spring
applied and hydraulically released. With the hydraulic
valve properly oriented (brake off), charge pressure
oil is supplied to the brake assembly which
overcomes the spring tension and the brakes are
P0002664
released.
SPX 4260 Troubleshooting Manual
Issued 2-03 Printed in U.S.A. Hydraulic System
5000 - 13

• 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.

Inner Boom Fold Cylinders


1. Start engine and warm the hydraulic oil to a minimum
of 120 degrees F.
2. Fully extend or retract the cylinder (1) in question.
3. Disconnect the hydraulic line from the end of the
cylinder with the least amount of available volume.

NOTE: Disconnect the rod end if the cylinder is fully 1


extended, or disconnect blind end if the cylinder is fully
retracted.

4. Place the disconnected hose in a collection container.


5. Activate the function so as to attempt to extend a fully P0002665

Active Suspension Cylinders


Active suspension is a unique option, it senses the load on the front wheels of the
unit.
1
• If one wheel appears to have less of a load than the other, the wheel with the
greater load is “picked up” and the wheel with the lesser load is relaxed.

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.

NOTE: Disconnect the rod end if the cylinder is fully


extended, or disconnect blind end if the cylinder is fully
retracted.

4. Place the disconnected hose in a collection container.


5. Activate the function so as to attempt to extend a fully
P0002670
extended or retract a fully retracted cylinder. If no oil is
expelled, the seal is intact.
• The body/barrel of the cylinder also has two counterbalance valves installed which act as a relief valve/
check valve combination. If a center section seems to settle and the seals in the cylinders test satisfactorily,
it is possible for the oil to be leaking past the check valve portion of the counterbalance valve. As a test, it is
possible to switch the two valves on the cylinder as the check valve portion for the opposite direction
should be functional.

Neutral Shunt Valve
• The purpose of the neutral shunt valve is to keep any unwanted movement from occurring during the initial
start-up of the unit and any time the unit is in neutral.
• The electric solenoid located on the shunt valve is activated by a signal from the neutral safety switch. This
then shifts the cartridge inside the valve, blocking the oils path to the hydraulic reservoir. It is then allowed
to act on the hydraulic displacement controls of the hydrostatic pump. Provided there is a differential pres-
sure signal, this causes the unit to propel.

6 Section Valve Bank


If problems are experienced with functions related to
boom folding or leveling, some simple testing can be done
to rule out the valve block.

To test this relief valve setting:
1. Place the spray booms in the unit supplied cradles.
2. Install a 3000 psi gauge in the hydraulic line between the valve body and the blind end side of the boom
level cylinder.
3. Start the engine and activate the correct side (right or left depending on where the gauge is installed) to
attempt to push the boom further into the cradle.
4. Record the reading on the pressure gauge.
NOTE: If the reading does not match the specification on the hydraulic schematic, adjustments are necessary.

• There are also two relief valves on the valve body to allow for boom breakaway.

1. Install one 600 psi gauge in the M4 port on the hydro-


static pump and one 600 psi gauge in the M5 port on
the same hydrostatic pump.
2. Disconnect the hydraulic line running from M5 of the
left hand hydrostatic pump to M4 of the right hand
hydrostatic pump. This will separate the two pumps
from each other.
P0003162
3. Install one 600 psi gauge in the X1 port on the hydro-
static pump and one 600 psi gauge in the X2 port on the same hydrostatic pump.
4. Start the engine and warm the hydraulic oil to a minimum of 120 degrees F.
5. Record the readings on the gauges installed in ports X1 and X2. These readings should be equal.

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.

Increase tension on this nut (Item 1) as necessary to


increase propel handle friction.

Neutral Safety Switch Adjustment


Neutral safety switch is located below propel handle cam.

The neutral safety switch allows the vehicle to start ONLY

while the propel handle is in the neutral position.

NOTE: The point that the switch transfers out of neutral should be equal between forward and reverse.

Reverse Switch Adjustment


The reverse switch is located rearward of the propel
handle cam.

The reverse switch engages the pressure limiter valve to


allow full propel pressure in reverse. This switch also 1
engages the back-up alarm.

The reverse switch should be timed so that it transfers


from NOT in reverse to reverse at approximately the same
time that the neutral safety switch transfers from the
neutral position to NOT in neutral while moving the handle
to the reverse propel position.

The best way to determine if a spray tip is excessively
worn is to compare the flow rate from the used tip to the
flow rate of a new tip of the same size and type.
2
NOTE: Spray tips are considered excessively worn when
their flow rate exceeds the flow of a new tip by 10% and
should be replaced. P0002905

3. Test the flow rate of each tip by using an accurate graduated collection container, a timing device and an
accurate pressure gauge mounted at the nozzle tip (Item 2).
4. Compare the flow rate of the old tip to that of the new one.

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.

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.

Mode Door Function


In AUTO mode, as the controller uses the A/C compressor or heater control valve with varying blower speed
to achieve the cab temperature set point, the controller also directs the flow of air to the floor, mid-cab or
defog/defrost vents using the mode door motor and mode control potentiometer. Where the air flow is directed
depends on the cab temperature set point selected or the position of the ATC switch:

SPX 4260 Troubleshooting Manual


Issued 2-03 Printed in U.S.A. A/C System
7000 - 14
If the cab temperature set point is greater than 73° F (22.8°C), air is directed to the floor vents. If cab
temperature set point is less than 72° F (22.2°C), air is directed to the mid-cab vents.
If an operator raises cab temperature set point by more than 10° F (5.6°C) warmer, air flow is directed to the
floor vents. If an operator lowers cab temperature set point by more than 10° F (5.6°C) cooler, air flow is
directed to the mid-cab vents.

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.

ATC Temperature Range


The range for the Automatic Temperature Control is from 16 to 30°C (61 to 89°F). A maximum A/C and heat
mode is provided at display set points of 16 and 32°C (60 to 90°F). While in this maximum mode, the controller
will provide the HVAC system’s maximum capacity and disregard the cab inside air temperature.

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.

Standard A/C Systems


The standard A/C controller is an open loop control device. The controller provides electronic thermostat
control. The compressor clutch is engaged and disengaged by the standard controller. The clutch is cycled
from 18 to 37°C (32 to 66°F) evaporator temperature sensor values proportional to the temperature control
potentiometer position from 12 o’clock to full counterclockwise.
The standard controller opens the heater control valve from full closed to full open position proportional to the
temperature control potentiometer position from 12 o’clock to full clockwise. If cab temperature is desired to be
made cooler or warmer or if the air path is to be diverted, it is the operator who makes the adjustment. (See
diagram below.)

Smart Pressure Switch Cycling System


Both the ATC and standard systems are equipped with pressure switch cycle counters. The compressor will
not be locked out until four cycles of the low pressure switch occur or until two cycles of the high pressure
switch occur within a 60 second rolling interval which starts with the first cycle of the switch.
The ATC display will display a 02 ATC fault code for the low pressure switch and 01 ATC fault code for the high
pressure switch.

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.

SPX 4260 Troubleshooting Manual


Issued 2-03 Printed in U.S.A. A/C System
7000 - 15
For additional fault code description, see ATC Fault Codes in this Section.
The standard A/C controller will blink the indicator light (mounted in the A/C on/off switch) slowly, approximately
7 times in a 10 second period for the low pressure switch, or quickly, approximately 13 times in a 10 second
period for the high pressure switch.

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.

A/C Thermal Operation

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.

See diagram on next page to follow refrigerant flow.

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:

• 5 amp fuse (fuse no. 27) for HVAC Controller,


• 30 amp fuse (fuse no. 26) for the HVAC blower,
• 15 amp fuse (fuse no. 32) for the cab pressure blower,
• 5 amp fuse (fuse no. 24) to change LCD from °F to °C,
• ATC switch (Auto/Off/Defog),
• blower speed control potentiometer,
• temperature control potentiometer,
• mode door control potentiometer,
• LCD display,
• evaporator temperature sensor,
• cab temperature sensor,
• heater control valve,
• cab pressurizer blower motor,
• HVAC blower motor,
• mode door motor,
• A/C compressor clutch,

• A/C high pressure switch,
• A/C low pressure switch,
• ATC Controller,
• and a blower speed driver for the blower motor.

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

Defog/defrost mode operates similarly to Automatic mode


except that the compressor runs continuously to remove
moisture from the air in the cab until the evaporator
temperature sensor senses -2°F (-19°C) and cycles the
compressor on or off, depending on the temperature value at
the sensor. Temperature control and blower speed are
automatic. This is more important in a heating situation where
the controller is warming the cab to achieve the set point. The
RD99N127
controller will increase blower speed and open the heater
control valve further to maintain the desired heat set point even though the compressor is running continuously.
In a cooling situation, the controller will not turn off the compressor if the set point is achieved. The controller
only disengages the compressor when the evaporator temperature sensor senses -2°F (-19°C).

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.

BLOWER AND TEMPERATURE CONTROL


Blower Speed
In Manual mode, where the heater control valve and compressor are turned off, blower speed is incrementally
variable within the range of the potentiometer - 30 positions - for the circulation of air in the cab. In Automatic
and Defog/Defrost modes, the controller uses the blower to achieve the cab temperature set point. Controller
blower speed selection is based on the difference between the actual cab temperature and the desired set
point according to the chart below:

Temperature Difference Blower Speed


≤ 2°F (≤1.1°C) 25%
> 2°F but ≤ 4°F
35%
(> 1.1°C but ≤ 2.2°C)
> 4°F but ≤ 6°F

(> 2.2°C but ≤ 3.3°C)
> 6°F but ≤ 8°F

75%
(> 5.5°C but ≤ 6.6°C)
> 12°F (> 6.6°C) 100%

Blower Speed - Temperature Control - ATC Switch - LCD Display


To check the blower speed or temperature control potentiometer operation:

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.

2. The ATC Switch - Auto/Off/Defog - connects a ground sig-


nal to the ATC Controller to indicate the selected mode. 2

3. The LCD display indicates the operator selected set point


in degrees Fahrenheit that can be converted to degrees
Celsius by installing a 5 amp fuse in cavity no. 24 in fuse
block 261. Removing the 5 amp fuse from cavity no. 24
will return the display to degrees Fahrenheit. In addition
the Auto mode is indicated by an “A” and the defog/defrost
icon is illuminated when that mode is selected. 1 3

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
clutch relay (located under the operators seat) and com-
pressor clutch in the engine compartment.

3. With the switch on DEFOG/DEFROST (Item 2), confirm
that the relay is functioning by cycling the ATC switch on and off. A properly functioning relay can be heard
engaging. If the relay does not engage, See “Clutch Relay Power Supply and Ground Test (Standard A/C)”
on page 27.

Standard A/C Units: The flow of air to the defog/defrost,
mid-cab or floor vents is operator controlled.
ATC Units: The ATC controller, responding to operator
changes to the cab temperature set point or the position of
the ATC switch, directs the flow of air for the operator. As
the controller uses the A/C compressor or heater control
1
valve with varying blower speed to achieve the cab
temperature set point, the controller also directs the flow of
air to the cab floor, mid-cab or defog/defrost vents using the
mode door motor and mode control potentiometer. In AUTO
RD99N127
mode where the air flow is directed depends on the cab
temperature set point (Item 1) selected:
If the cab temperature set point is greater than 73°F
MID - CAB DEFOG / DEFROST
(22.8°C), air flow is directed to the floor vents. If cab
temperature set point is less than 72°F (22.2°C), air
flow is directed to the mid-cab vents (2).
If an operator raises cab temperature set point by more
than 10° F (5.5°C) warmer, air flow is directed to the
floor vents. If an operator lowers cab temperature set
point by more than 10°F (5.5°C) cooler, air flow is
directed to the mid-cab vents.

If an operator adjusts the mode door position manually, the
ATC unit no longer operates in automatic mode; the “A”
disappears from the display. Mode door position will remain
constant in the position selected by the operator. Temperature
control and blower speed control will remain automatic. To
return to automatic mode door control, the ATC switch must
be returned to the OFF and then AUTO position.
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 be to the defog/defrost vents until
the ATC switch is returned to the OFF and then AUTO FLOOR
position.

Mode Door Potentiometer


To check the mode door potentiometer operation:

1. ATC: Check the resistance across A and C for a value of 10K ohms ± 10%. Check the resistance across B
and C for a value of 0-10K ohms ± 10%. Check for proper operation across B and C on the potentiometer
connector while turning the control and observe the position of the actuator. Resistance changing as the
control is turned indicates the potentiometer is functioning, and the door actuator should move according to
the table below.
NOTE: Remove a louver from the front console and use a flashlight to observe actuator operation.

Pot Actuator
Mode Door
Ohms Angle
100% Mid-cab Vents 0K -45°
100% Floor Vent 5K 0°
100% Defog Vents 10K +45°

2. If the potentiometer has failed open or out of range, an ATC


fault code of 07 will be displayed. If the motor continues to
run after the door has reached the +45° position, the resis-
tor has failed and must be replaced.
3. Standard A/C: Check the resistance across A and C for a
value of 10K ohms ± 10%. Check for proper operation
across B and C (0-10K ohms ± 10%) on the potentiometer
connector while turning the control and observe the posi-
tion of the actuator. Resistance changing as the control is
turned indicates the potentiometer is functioning.

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.

1. When disconnected from the system, the low pressure
switch will test normally open; the high pressure switch
will test normally closed.

NOTE: When installed in the A/C system under normal


operating conditions, the low pressure switch will test as
CLOSED.

The low pressure switch (Item 1) closes in the presence of
pressure greater than 4 ± 2 psi (28 kPa ± 14 kPa). If the
system pressure drops below 4 ± 2 psi (28 kPa ± 14 kPa)
the switch contact will open, the compressor clutch will be
disengaged, and a counter will be set inside the ATC RD99N046
controller or the standard A/C controller.

Issued 2-03 Printed in U.S.A. A/C System
7000 - 43
NOTE: Once the system pressure rises above 20 ± 3 psi (138 kPa ± 20 kPa) the switch will reset and the
compressor will be allowed to engage after 20 ± 3 psi (138 kPa ± 20 kPa) is reached or 10 seconds elapse,
whichever is longer. This will occur as long as there are no more than three switch actuations within a 60
second interval. On the fourth occurrence within a 60 second interval, the compressor will be locked out, a 02
ATC fault code will be displayed, and a manual reset is required. The standard controller blinks an indicator
light in the A/C ON/OFF switch approximately seven times in a 10 second period.

The high pressure switch (Item 1) opens when the


high side system pressure exceeds 400 ± 10 psi
(2758 kPa ± 69 kPa). The switch will reset once high
side pressure drops below 250 ± 10 psi (1724 kPa ±
69 kPa).
NOTE: The same counting system applies except a
lockout and 01 ATC fault code will display on the second 1
switch actuation within a 60 second interval. The standard
controller blinks an indicator light in the A/C ON/OFF
switch approximately 13 times in a 10 second period.

2. Using a piercing lead from a digital volt meter, check


for switch continuity between terminal 2 and ground.
Test the circuits for continuity back to the ATC Control- MK99J192
ler. See “High Pressure Switch and Circuit Test (Stan-
dard A/C)” on page 20. See “Low Pressure Switch and Circuit Test (Standard A/C)” on page 21.
With engine OFF, system pressure will equalize on low and high sides to approximately 75 psi (520 kPa) at
room temperature. Both pressure switches should remain closed. To check system pressure, refer to Air
Conditioning System Service Section.

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

HOSES AND HEATER CONTROL VALVE


Compressor Hoses
1. Make sure that all hose and line connections are properly torqued.
2. Check hoses for bends or cracks. Replace all hoses that have damage.

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

Heater Control Valve


When power is applied and the system is on, the heater
control valve (Item 1) will adjust to the position required to
achieve the current cab temperature set point. To confirm
proper valve operation, adjust the cab temperature control
to the maximum heat position. The slot in the top of the
servo motor actuator can be observed to rotate. Cycling
the power off and back on will cause the valve to return to
the off position and back open. If while the system is off,
or in maximum cooling mode, the heater tube connections
at the heater/evaporator core are hot, heater control valve 1
malfunction may be occurring.
1. Use a vise clamp on the heater supply line to stop the
flow of coolant through the heater/evaporator core.
2. Check the heater/evaporator core tubes again. RD99N053

3. Check the cab air louver temperature.


4. If temperature decreases, check to see if there are any ATC fault codes displayed.
5. Check for 12V supply on terminal 10 at the control valve actuator. Check for a varying signal to the actuator
on terminal 8 while adjusting the temperature control. If signal variation is not detected, problem is with
ATC controller.
6. Replace the valve if the controller checks out but leakage through the heater valve is detected.

EVAPORATOR AND PLENUM CHECK


Evaporator Core
1. Incline the operator’s seat forward. See ACCESSING
THE A/C UNIT, page 12.
2. Check the fins on the evaporator. All the fins that have
bends or damage must be straightened.
3. Keep the evaporator/heater core (Item 1) clean. If the
core is dry, use compressed air or a vacuum cleaner.
If the core is wet, flush the core with water using a
hose without pressure. Make sure the water drains
freely from the condensate drain tubes.
4. If the evaporator is extremely dirty, check the condi-
tion of the cab filter hose and cab door and service 1
door seals. See CAB PRESSURIZATION TEST in
the Air Conditioning System Service Section. RD99N158

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

Both temperature sensors have the same resistance vs.


temperature response even though they look dramatically
different. Both sensors should measure 20-25K ohms at
room temperature for normal operation.
If cab temperature sensor (Item 1) failure occurs, the
controller supplies a default cab temperature value of
68°F (20°C); and an ATC fault code 08 displays.
Depending on set point the compressor will engage and
cool the cab, or the heater control valve will open and
warm the cab. The operator must assume manual control
of temperature and may wish to assume control of blower 1
speed. The operator must decrease the set point to less
than 66°F (18.8°C) to engage the compressor or increase
the set point to greater than 70°F (21°C) to open the Cab Temperature Sensor
heater control valve. This will supply the 2°F (1.1°C)
RD99N055
difference between the set point and the supplied cab
temperature value which the controller needs to drive to
and maintain set point.

SPX 4260 Troubleshooting Manual

If evaporator temperature sensor failure occurs, the compressor will not engage and an ATC fault code will
display - 10 for an open circuit condition and 11 for a short circuit condition. Temperature sensed for fault code
10 is -2°F (-19°C) at the evaporator, and this is why on extremely cold days at start-up, code 10 displays until
evaporator temperature exceeds this value. Temperature sensed for fault code 11 is 180°F (82°C)
Both sensors are thermistors - thermal resistors. With these thermistors the colder the environment, the
greater the electrical resistance; and the warmer the environment, the less electrical resistance. For code 10,
at -2°F (-19°C) the thermistor senses maximum resistance, which the controller interprets as actual
temperature or an open condition and locks out the compressor. For code 11, at 180°F (82°C), the thermistor
senses minimum resistance, which the controller interprets as short circuit and locks out the compressor.
These sensors can be failing without generating a fault code. Measure the resistance of the sensor and your
ambient temperature, and compare the readings to the Resistance versus Temperature chart on page 48. If the
readings vary from the chart by more than 3%, replace the sensor.
See “Evaporator Temperature Sensor and Circuit Test (Standard A/C)” on page 29.
The evaporator temperature sensor (Item 2) must be installed 4.2
inches (107 mm) (Item 1) from the left hand rear side of the evaporator. 1
The sensor must be installed below the second refrigeration tube row
at a 30° downward angle. Be careful not to kink the sensor. Insert the
sensor in the evaporator core (Item 3) up to the angled section.

running at greater than 500 rpm. The cab pressurizer motor
is accessed under the instructional seat in the cab behind
the trim panel. It draws air from the vents in the cab cap
through the left hand rear post through the cab filter and
feeds it directly to the A/C unit under the operators seat.
2. The cab pressurizer blower relay is located in the fuse and
relay compartment on the right hand side of the operator’s
seat.
3. With the engine running at greater than 500 rpm if the motor
does not run, check voltage at red feed wire - 92 (R). If no
voltage, check fuse 32 (15 amp) on fuse block 262. If 12V
present (normal), check ground. If all above conditions are
met, replace blower motor. See “Cab Pressurizer Blower

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.

Tests Calculations Disagree


Question: I did two different drop tests and used the two formulas described in the Operator’s manual
for determining spreader constant. The results calculated were two completely different numbers for
spreader constants. What did I do wrong?
Be sure that the correct values are being used for each formula. All the formulas will yield identical numbers.

Mounting Application Rate Sensor


Question: Can the application rate sensor be mounted on a conveyer shaft or must it be installed on
the conveyer motor?
The rate sensor can be installed on any shaft that rotates in proportion to the conveyor travel rate.

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.

8000 - 7
Conveyor Surging
Question: The conveyor on the truck has recently started surging. The hydraulics seem to be normal.
What could cause the problem?
Make sure the rate sensor is not rocking back and forth on its mounting. Also check to see the coupling is not
slipping on the rate sensor shaft.

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.

Zero Pressure Calibration


Question: Do I have to do the Zero Pressure Calibration each time I fill the tank?
No. Set it once and forget it unless the pressure on the boom does not match the console.

Abnormal Pressure Display


Question: After installing check valves on my sprayer, the console indicates pressure when I’m not
spraying. Why?
This is common on machines with check valves, no drip nozzles, air stops, etc. These systems continue to hold
pressure on the boom and due to the pressure at the sensor cause a display reading all the time - even if you
are not spraying. It is also important to note that large changes in barometric pressure and temperature could
cause a significant shift.

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.

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.

Speed Range Display


Question: When setting my pressure limits, the speed ranges displayed are very high (or low). How do
I fix this?
Check your Nozzle Constant. It is either too high or too low. Also be sure you don’t have a misplaced decimal
point.

TOPIC 2 - BASIC SYSTEM


This topic lists a few basic problems to check before calling for assistance. The list below is not in any particular
order. Scanning through these possible problems may suggest a corrective action for returning the system to
normal again. If the problem cannot be solved, call Dickey-john for assistance.

Display Does Not Turn On.


Blown fuse
Check fuse in positive battery harness lead and replace with proper size fuse, if blown. If it blows again, check
for a shorted sensor lead or a damage cable (See below).

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.

Fuse continues to blow


The console or Power/RS 232 cable contains the short. Disconnect the cable and check with an ohmmeter. If
no short is found in the cable, replace the console.

Fuse no longer blows


After disconnecting all sensors and cables, except battery and the fuse does not blow, the short is indicated in
the disconnected cables or one of the sensors. With power on, reconnect the Main connector and then each
sensor cable one at a time. When the fuse blows again, that sensor or cable contains the short (See correct
harnessing diagram to trace the wiring).

SPX 4260 Troubleshooting Manual

Error Message Cannot be Cleared.
Damaged sensor or incorrectly installed
Correct installation or repair/replace the sensor.
Sensor not receiving +12 Volts
Check for +12 Volts at the sensor (See correct harnessing diagram). If voltage is not present, check cable for
damage or a faulty connection.

Signal line (GRN wire) is open or shorted


Check the green wire for continuity or a short from the sensor back to the console.

Application Rate or other Sensor is defective


If the above checks do not reveal the problem, replace the respective sensor.

System Does Not Operate in Auto, Only in Manual


Ensure the ground speed signal is present
If the ground speed indicates on the display, check the switch module and then suspect a faulty console.

No ground speed signal is present


Unplug the radar unit and check for +12 Volts at the radar cable connector (See correct harnessing diagram). If
no +12 Volts is present, check continuity of the cable or observe for damage. Repair or replace as required.

No ground speed signal is present on the GRN wire


Check the Fg (GRN) pin from the sensor back to the console. If continuity is absent or cable is shorted, check
the connections at the connector or suspect a damaged cable.

Signal is not present at the sensor


Replace the radar sensor and try again.

Cable and sensor are normal


Replace the console.

System Does Not Operate in Auto or Manual


Console Programming may be incorrect
Be sure the channel is turned on. Then check BOOM CONFIG (+12V ON/OFF) under the CONFIG MENU.
Also check the operation of the implement switch.

Check Master Switch Module cable and switch


Ensure continuity from the connector and the module is present. Also ensure no shorts between conductors
exist. Check the switch for correct operation.

Check main cable wiring


Check the wiring between the Master Switch Module and the console. Check for open or shorted conductors
(See Wiring Diagram).

Check the valve actuator


Check for correct voltages and signals to the actuator (See Wiring Diagram).

No +12 Volts is present to the actuator


Check the power cable and the signal wires to the console.

TOPIC 3 - SYSTEM SENSORS AND ACTUATORS


During normal system operation, the alarm and console display indicates the status of the system sensors and
product application devices. If a failure occurs, the operator is alerted and the problem can be quickly identified.
Before calling for assistance, check the following list to locate and repair the failure.

Checking the Switch Module


This device consists of only the cable and a three position switch.

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.

Figure 1. Checking the Master Switch

Visually inspect the cable for damage. Use the ohmmeter


to check integrity of the cable.
Ty-Straps
Check the cable for shorts between wires and then check each
wire for an open condition.

Checking the Ground Speed Sensor


One of three types of Ground speed sensors may be used; (1) radar sensor, (2) in-line speedometer drive
sensor or (3) magnetic distance sensor.

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 using a magnetic distance sensor, check the sensor with an ohmmeter.


Connect the ohmmeter directly across the sensor element. The reading should be infinity when the magnet is
away from the sensor and zero ohms when the magnet is next to the sensor. Also, a click should be heard
when a magnet is passed near the sensor.

Checking the Lift Switch
The micro-switch closure integrity can be checked with an ohmmeter.

Disconnect the lift switch from the harness at the connector.


Connect an ohmmeter across the terminals of the lift switch and manually open and close the switch.
The ohmmeter should show near zero resistance when the switch closes and infinity when open.

Checking the Application Rate Sensor (Granular)


The application rate sensor is mounted on the drive shaft of the conveyor to
monitor the rotational rate of the shaft.

If no application rate 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 application 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 indication on the display. If the display responds, the system harness and
console are normal meaning the application rate sensor is the cause.

Checking the Hydraulic Control Valve (Granular)


The hydraulic control valve regulates the conveyor speed electrically via the console. If any of the spreader
components, such as the hydraulic pump or hydraulic motors are not operating properly, the control system
may appear to be faulty. Check that all the mechanical devices are operating normally before suspecting any of
the control system components.

Check that the valve operates in the manual mode.


If not, disconnect the cable to the actuator driver circuits and measure for drive signals.
If no signals are present on the three lines, suspect the cables first and then the console. If signals are
observed on the lines, try a new valve driver actuator. If the control system functions normally in the MANUAL
mode but does not open in the AUTO mode, the problem may be a faulty ground speed input.

SPX 4260 Troubleshooting Manual


Issued 2-03 Printed in U.S.A. Controller Systems
8000- 12
Checking the Liquid Control Valve
The liquid control valve controls the liquid flow rate for field application. If the control system is not functioning
correctly, first check the functionality of all other system mechanical devices.

Check to make sure the ground speed sensor is functioning.


Check the functionality of the pressure transducer on a sprayer system or the flow meter on the
anhydrous system.
Check to be sure the control valve is operating in the manual mode.
Solicit the aid of an extra person. Hold the switch on the switch module in the MANUAL position. The control
valve should be heard opening for approximately 1.5 seconds. Release the switch; the control valve should
close in 1.5 seconds. If the motor in the valve is not running, then the control valve actuator or the cabling is
defective.

Checking the Fan RPM Sensor


Check the fan sensor by waving a piece of metal quickly back and forth across the sensors end while observing
the console display. Some reading should be observed. Assuming the cabling is normal, no reading indicates a
faulty sensor.

Checking the Hopper Level Sensor


A sensor failure is first detected at the console by an improper readout. If this occurs try unplugging the sensor.
If no change occurs, check the cabling. If it does change, replace the sensor. If the display message is simply
indicating low too soon or not soon enough, inspect the mounting position of the sensor.

Checking the Pressure Transducer


Before checking a pressure sensor, release all the pressure from the lines or completely remove the sensor
from the boom and then perform a Zero Pressure Calibration. If the constant comes up.0000, check for +12
volts at the sensor connection on the harness and also check continuity on the green wire from the sensor
connection to console connection (See Wiring Diagram). If +12 volts is not present, check continuity of the
power and ground wires. If all harness checks are normal or if the Zero Pressure Calibration constant reads
1.000 or more, replace the sensor.

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.

Connecting the Wrap Around Cable


The wrap around cable is a small black box with three sets of cables with connectors. The two large connectors
replace the harness connectors at the bottom of the Land Manager® and are keyed to prevent reversal. The
third cable containing a fuse link connects to +12 volt power or battery. When power is turned on, the Land
Manager® recognizes the presence of wrap around cable and automatically begins testing.

Running the Test


After applying power, each test automatically runs. When complete, either a FAILURE or PASS displays with a
prompt to press ENTER. If sufficient failures occur to fill the screen, “MORE” displays at the top of the list.
Errors on a previous screen cannot be reviewed from the display.

After all functional tests finish, a keypad test screen appears to allow dynamic testing each key on the front of
the console.

Each key should show an appropriate response on the display (i.e. depressing the CLEAR key should display
“CLEAR”).

When finished, end the test by depressing any key twice.


The screen displays “TEST COMPLETE”. Remove power and disconnect the wrap around cable.

Topic 5 - Harnesses and Repair


Most cable failures are categorized as either a “short” or “open” circuit. If a either condition occurs within a
cable, locating the actual fault can be tedious and frustrating. When encountering an intermittent break,
locating the problem may be difficult but ultimately must be treated as an open circuit. After locating the break
or short, cable replacement should be planned but temporary repair can be performed in order to continue
working. In repairing, a good splice and a weather- tight seal is extremely important. The following paragraphs
describe how to locate cable faults and then repair properly.

Console and Harness Layout


Before commencing wire tracing from the console to the sensors, take a moment to study the general wiring
scheme. Refer to the correct wiring diagram in the fold-outs of this manual. Study the general wiring layout from
the console to each sensor and particularly the wire colors to the sensor in question. Each sensor generally
uses a RED wire for +12 volt power, a BLK wire for ground and a GRN wire for the signal line. The power lines
from most sensors connect to a common junction point within the harness while the signal lines are unique to
each sensor and run separately to the console.

Locating a Shorted Cable


A shorted sensor cable renders the sensor inoperative or may cause system failure by blowing the main power
fuse. Three basic types of shorts may appear within a sensor; (1) power to ground, (2) power to signal, and (3)
signal to ground.

To locate a power/ground short;


Check the main power and actuator fuses.
If the a actuator fuse(s) is blown, the short is isolated to that actuator cable or actuator. Unplug the actuator
and try another fuse of proper size. If the fuse blows again, the actuator cable is shorted. If not, the actuator is
shorted.
If the main power fuse is blown, proceed to Next Step.

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.

Begin reconnecting each connector one at a time.

When the line containing the short is connected, the fuse blows again. Investigate that cable for the short. To
locate the actual short, proceed as follows.
To locate a signal line short;
A sensor signal line can be shorted to either to ground or to +12V but does not normally blow a fuse. Either
condition renders the sensor inoperative. If only one sensor is inoperative, the short must be within that sensor
or its cable. If more than one sensor is inoperative, the problem is closer to the console and the main cable
should be suspected.

To isolate, proceed as follows;


Turn off system power and disconnect the failed sensor.
Measure the resistance between the pins at the connector of the sensor.
Readings of less than a few hundred ohms should be investigated as shorted conductors.

If previous step indicates a normal sensor, check the main cable.


Readings between the sensor line and ground or the sensor line and power should measure a high resistance.
If not, disconnect the main cable from the console and repeat the test. If the condition persists, the cable is
shorted.

To locate an open line;


An open line (+12V, Gnd, or signal) also renders a sensor(s) inoperative. If only one sensor is inoperative, the
open must be within that sensor or its cable. If more than one sensor is inoperative, the problem is closer to the
console and the main cable should be suspect. To isolate, proceed as follows;

Disconnect the faulty sensor.


Measure resistance between the power, signal, and ground leads.
A high resistance should be measured between each check but should not indicate a short.

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.

Locating An Open/short Within A Cable


Carefully inspect the cable for damage.
Observe cable for loose wires, particularly at the connectors.
Check along the cable for a mangled area caught in the machinery or by sharp objects piercing the
cable. If a damaged area is found, proceed to Step 6.
If no damage is observed, disconnect the cable at both ends. Use an ohmmeter to check for shorts
between conductors.
Check for shorts between all combinations of conductors. The simplest method is illustrated below using an
example with a five conductor cable. At one of the connector ends, measure resistance between pins in the
following sequence:
1 to 2 2 to 3 3 to 4 4 to 5
1 to 3 2 to 4 3 to 5
1 to 4 2 to 5
1 to 5

By progressively moving through the pin count, no combination of conductors is missed. No continuity should
be found in any measurement.

SPX 4260 Troubleshooting Manual


Issued 2-03 Printed in U.S.A. Controller Systems
8000- 16
Check for an open condition by folding the cable in half so that the two connector ends lay side by
side.
Check for continuity through each conductor. Use wire colors or harness drawings to identify the correct
conductor. If the cable is not easily folded in half because of being strapped down, short pins together at one
connector with a small wire jumper and check for continuity through the two conductors at the other connector.
Repeat until all conductors are verified. If a break is found, isolate it to a single conductor.

Locate the break within a wire.


Connect one lead of an ohmmeter to each end of the suspected broken wire. Move along the harness flexing
the cable by hand while observing the ohmmeter for an indication. A response indicates the damaged area. If
an area cannot be determined, select the center. Use a sharp object such as a straight pin or knife tip to pierce
through the insulation. It may be necessary to carefully slit the outer jacket of the cable to reach the suspected
wire. Remember, the opening later requires repair. If the cable is strapped down, add a length of wire to one
ohmmeter lead to lengthen its reach.

Determine which cable half contains the break.


Check continuity between the pierced point and the cable connector. If no continuity is present, move the
ohmmeter lead toward the connector (i.e. half way). When continuity is obtained, the break is between the last
two readings. Finalize by working toward the break until the exact location is pinpointed.

Sealing the Repaired Cable


A damaged or cut cable can be repaired in the field using the following procedure. This type of repair is limited
to cables only. Do not attempt to repair any wiring inside the hydraulic control valve, the ground speed sensor,
or the application rate sensor. Doing so breaks the seals and voids the warranty. Do not attempt to repair cable
connectors. The following method of repairing cables is for temporary use only. Units with new cables or new
extension cables must be ordered as soon as possible, otherwise chemicals may enter the repaired area and
damage components. Always use rosin core solder for making cable repairs. NEVER USE ACID CORE
SOLDER!

Carefully cut away the cable cover at the damaged area.


Strip about 1/2 inch of insulation from damaged lead(s). Do not cut the wire strands. Clean about two inches of
the cable cover and wire ends.

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.

Figure 3. Taping each lead

Add a layer of vinyl electrical tape up to the cable cover at each end of the repaired section.

SPX 4260 Troubleshooting Manual


Issued 2-03 Printed in U.S.A. Controller Systems
8000 - 17
Make paper trough, as shown in Figure 4, then apply silastic compound over the repaired section. Be sure to
use enough silastic compound to fill the open ends of the cable.

Figure 4. Sealing the Repair

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.

Tape Final Repair.


This procedure is intended only for temporary repair. Replacement of the complete cable is highly
recommended. Failure to do so may result in damage to the system since active chemicals can creep up
through the cable and into one or more of the system units.

Flow Meter Maintenance And Adjustment Procedure


1. Remove Flow Meter from sprayer and flush with clean water to remove any chemicals.
2. Remove flange bolts or clamp from the Flow Meter.
3. Remove the turbine hub and turbine from inside Flow Meter.
4. Clean turbine and turbine hub of metal filings or any other foreign material, such as wettable powders.
Confirm that the turbine blades are not worn. Hold turbine and turbine hub in your hand and spin turbine.
The turbine should spin freely with very little drag inside the turbine hub.
5. If transducer assembly is replaced or if turbine stud is adjusted or replaced, verify the turbine fit before
reassembling. Hold turbine hub with turbine on transducer. Spin turbine by blowing on it. Tighten turbine
stud until turbine stalls. Loosen turbine stud 1/3 turn. The turbine should spin freely.
6. Re-assemble Flow Meter.
7. Using a low pressure (5 psi) [34.5 kPa] jet of air, verify the turbine spins freely. If there is drag, loosen hex
stud on the bottom of turbine hub 1/16 turn until the turbine spins freely.
8. If the turbine spins freely and cables have been checked per (See page 8000-21), “PROCEDURE TO
TEST FLOW CABLES”, but Flow Meter still is not totalizing properly, replace Flow Meter transducer.

Procedure To Re-calibrate Flow Meter


1. Enter a METER CAL number of 10 [38] in the key labelled
2. Enter a TOTAL VOLUME of 0 in the key labelled
3. Switch OFF all booms.
4. Remove a boom hose and place it into a calibrated 5 gallon [19 liter] container.
5. Switch ON appropriate boom switch (for the hose that was just placed into the 5 gallon container) and the
MASTER switch. Pump exactly 10 gallons [38 liters].
6. Readout in TOTAL VOLUME is the new METER CAL number. This number should be within +/- 3% of the
calibration number stamped on the tag of the Flow Meter.
7. Repeat this procedure several times to confirm accuracy. (Always “zero out” the TOTAL VOLUME display
before retesting).
NOTE: For greatest precision, set METER CAL to 100 and pump 100 gallons (378 liters) of water.

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]

Corrected METER CAL = METER CAL x TOTAL VOLUME


Predetermined amount of measured liquid

ENGLISH UNITS: METRIC UNITS:


= 720 x 260 = 749 = [190] x [984] = [198]
250 [946]
Corrected METER CAL = 749 [198]
9. Enter corrected METER CAL before resuming application.

PROCEDURE TO VERIFY SIGNALS FROM THE RAVEN FLOW METER


NOTE: Please see the System Diagram in the appendix for location of components.

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.

Pin A should be +5 VDC (tested to frame ground)


Pin B should be Ground
Pin C should be >+05 VDC (tested to frame ground)

• 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.

Verifying The Operation Of MID-TECH Control Valves


The following procedure works best with two people, one to perform the actions required at the console, the
other to observe the valve response or voltages.

Perform this test without the engine running. You do not need actual pump output from the main
product pump.

SPX 4260 Troubleshooting Manual


Issued 2-03 Printed in U.S.A. Controller Systems
8000- 36
Verifying The Operation Of MID-TECH Control Valves (Cont’d)

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.

If the valve does not respond normally, go to Step 2.

2. Check for proper power at the valve.


Disconnect the four pin PACKARD connector between the valve driver (405-0113) and the valve.
With a Volt/Ohm Meter (VOM), you will test between pins A, B, and C.
• Hold INC switch UP, observe voltage rising to +12 VDC at pin B, measured to pin C.
• Hold DEC switch DOWN, observe voltage rising to +12 VDC at pin C, measured to pin B.
• Pin A should be a continuous +12 VDC, measured to vehicle frame ground.

If power checks OK, problem is in the valve. Remove and replace.

If power does not check, go to Step 3.

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.

If power does not check, go to Step 4.

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.
