The vanes are held against the cam ring by tension from
the springs in the rotor. If the rotor is pulled from the
cam ring with no protection, tension from the springs
will throw vanes out in all directions. The following
procedure must be followed when disassembling the
the rotor and vanes from the cam ring.

DESCRIPTION
The vane type motor is a fixed displacement, rotary plate assembly consisting of the port plate with a
balanced motor that converts hydraulic oil flow into built-in check valve, a cam ring assembly containing
rotary mechanical motion. The motor consists of four the rotor, vanes, vane springs and cam ring, and the
basic sub-assemblies; a body or housing and shaft end cap assembly consisting of the end cap and nee-
with a permanently lubricated bearing, a front port dle bearing.
THEORY OF OPERATION
During operation, hydraulic oil flows through either pressure applied against the vanes forces the rotor to
one of the two ports in the end cap and isdirected to turn and at the same time rotates the motor shaft. As
both sides of the cam ring assembly through the cast the rotor turns, the oil moves to the discharge ports in

The following inspection procedures should take about 15 to 20 minutes, longer
if corrective steps, part replacement or adding refrigerant is necessary. There is
a "Preventive Maintenance Worksheet” you may use at the end ofthis chapter,

Your observations and the corrective measures you take may be different
depending on circumstances. The following inspection procedures are ex-
plained in more detail below:
1. Observe the System
2. Inspect Parts
3. Check Hoses and Fillings
4. Check for Refrigerant Leaks
Use the following procedures as a general rule in performing a visual inspec-
tion with the AC system off:

Note: You can add inexpensive dry nitrogen gas to the system
instead of R-134a if system pressures are low. Dispense
the gas at no more than 200-250 PSI as this is sufficient
pressure to cause or indicate a leak point in the AC
system. AC service procedures for complete system re-
covering of refrigerant, evacuating, and recharging are
covered and illustrated in Chapter 9.

Electrical System Inspection
You can feel for oil at the bottom of all connections (see Figure 7-4) if the
system is not too hot. Of course, a few minutes with an electronic leak
detector is the best way to check for leaks. Keep in mind that pressure is
different in a system at rest, so small leaks may be hard to find. Pressure in a
system at rest, will equalize at from 60 to 95 PSI, depending on outside air
temperature. This means there is more pressure in the low side of the system
at rest than during normal system operation. Just the opposite is true of the
high side; at rest, high side pressure is lower. You may want to use the
detector to check for leaks in the high side when the air conditioner is
operating, if you suspect a leak and can’t find it when the system is at rest.

leads to the switch. You should be able to hear a “click” from the
thermostat and hear the clutch drive plate “snap” against the clutch
pulley. You can not check thermostat cycling on and off until you do
the performance inspection. Figure 7-5 illustrates a typical AC elec-

Chapter Review
The purpose of these brief inspection procedures is for vehicle system maintenance
and to determine if further, more detailed service is required. The uses of a manifold
gauge set, system troubleshooting, recovery, flushing, evacuating, and charging are
explained in the next chapter.
High usage and operating condition variations are tough on air conditioning and
heater components. You should establish and follow regular inspection and
maintenance procedures to improve overall system function and component service
life.
The typical inspection should not take more than 15 to 20 minutes unless
component replacement and/or complete system evacuation and recharging is
warranted. The survey results shown in Figure 7-1, indicate belts, compressor clutch
assembly, condenser, and refrigerant lines are the most frequent problem areas.
However, your own experience with service and maintenance may vary from survey
results.
Inspection should first be visual and by feel. Some of your electrical system
inspection will be done as you inspect other components (checking leads,
connections, and for loose wires). When you check the electrical circuit, begin with
the engine off but ignition on. A system performance inspection with the engine
running and system on really combines electrical and AC or heater system function.

• Review of Frequent Problem Areas
• Conclusion
Can you fix an air conditioner or heater system without finding and
correcting the cause of the problem? You bet you can! It happens every
day and it’s not good for business. Here is an example. A truck pulls in off the
road and the operator asks to have his rig serviced in a hurry. He tells you the
air conditioner isn’t cooling like it should and dashes into the restaurant for
lunch.
You tip the hood, and check the sight glass on top of the receiver-drier. You
see bubbles, not a lot but a fairly constant stream of them. It is obvious the
system is low on refrigerant so you hook up the manifold gauge set, purge the
gauge set hoses of air, and add refrigerant until the sight glass clears. Then you
check evaporator temperature and it’s OK. The air conditioner is repaired
right? Wrong! What you did is add refrigerant and the problem went away.You
did not find and fix the cause ofthe problem.
Component failure in an air conditioning system may be the result of a
problem elsewherein the system. For example, a belt or clutch failure might be
caused by a dirty condenser restricting air flow and increasing head pressures.
High head pressures commonly create problems with other system compo-
nents. Take time to look beyond the obvious for a potential hidden
problem.
Troubleshooting Overview
Troubleshooting includes collecting enough information to locate the cause of
the problem, then correcting the problem and its cause by replacement, adjust-
ment, and/or repairing. You begin by gathering information from the most to
the least important sources.
Starting with the most important:
1. Your personal knowledge and experience with AC systems.
2. The vehicle operator’s knowledge and experience—questionhim or her.
3. The work order.
4. Good test equipment and the HVAC system
The routine you follow when troubleshooting should proceed from the most to
least productive way of locating the problem and fixing the cause.

Chapter 8- Troubleshooting & Service Procedures

HVAC system. The numbers

AC part of the system is
working properly (moving
heat out of the cab and into
the outside air).
8-2
Understanding System Function
When you turn on the air conditioner at the control panel (1), the thermostat
(2), is supposed to sense a warm temperature at the evaporator. Acircuit in the
thermostat should close, allowing current to flow through the thermostat to the
compressor clutch field coil (3). When this happens, the clutch field coil be-
comes an electromagnet and pulls the clutch drive plate (4) tight against the
clutch pulley (5).
Note: The same AC switch (1) may also turn on the fan or
blower motor (2a) to circulate air in the cab. The air
feels warm at first but will cool quickly.
A belt connects the clutch pulley to a drive pulley (6) on the engine. The engine
provides the power to turn the clutch pulley and drive the compressor (7) when
the clutch is engaged. When operating, the compressor compresses and pushes
refrigerant gas to the condenser (8), through the receiver-drier (9), and to the
expansion valve (10) orifice. When it does, it puts a lot of pressure on the gas.
The compressor raises the temperature and pressure of the refrigerant inside
the high side of the system.
At the same time, the compressor is also sucking in low pressure refrigerant
gas from the expansion valve orifice, evaporator and through the low side of the
system. The movement of the refrigerant inside the system transfers heat
energy from the cab to the outside air for occupant comfort.
The automatic functions of the thermostat (or the pressure valve on some
accumulators), and the expansion valve, help maintain pressures and tempera-
tures inside the system at safe and efficient operating levels. Pressure and
temperature are constantly changing due to compressor and expansion valve
action, the amount of heat energy being moved and the environment or
weather conditions.
The engine cooling system fan and clutch (11), and the evaporator blower
motor (2a), move a sufficient amount ofair through the condenser and evapora-
tor. On the road, vehicle speed provides most of the (ram) air required for the
condenser to work right. In a parked or slow moving vehicle the engine fan (or
roof or remote mounted condenser and fans) moves sufficient air through the
condenser fins.
A Troubleshooting Example
Remember the story at the beginning of this chapter? The vehicle operator
pulled in off the road and asked you to repair the rig. He was in such a hurry he
didn’t tell you anything except that the air conditioner wasn’t cooling. Here is
the best way to handle that kind of situation.
8-3
Chapter 8 - Troubleshooting & Service Procedures
Use your knowledge and experience. Ask yourself what could have caused a
lack of cooling in that rig! Did the compressor drive belt break? Did a pressure
switch or relief valve cutout the compressor because of high or low system
pressure? Does the switch or valve in this type of system reset itself? Could
there be a superheat switch and thermal limiter with a melted fuse. Did
someone else service the system recently and put in too much refrigerant?
Could there be contaminants in the system blocking the expansion valve
(expansion tube)? If there is a leak, why and how did refrigerant get out of the
system? You know if refrigerant can get out, air and moisture may get inside as
well, especially if the leak is on the suction side of the system. Could there be a
restriction to refrigerant flow in one of the high pressure lines because of a
kink? From your knowledge and experience, you already know about these
possibilities and others when you talk to the operator (before he has the chance
to leave).
The right kind of questions can speed up troubleshooting and your service
work by pinpointing the problem(s) that needs fixing. Your conversation with
the operator might be as follows:
What steps did you take when you noticed the lack of
cooling?
Answer: I put it on maximum cool.
Do you still get air flow at the vents from the blower~
Answer: Yes.
Has the heater been used recently and did it work OK?
Answer: Yes.
8-4
TM 5-3810-307-24-1-2
• (If the answer was yes, you should ask – When? Where?
What was fixed or replaced?).
• Finally, ask the operator if he or she has a wiring diagram
for the system.
Now let’s look at the information you have gathered from the operator and what
you know from experience. He believes the problem is that the AC system quits
cooling after it has been on for a while! You know that the AC system has not been
maintained since the rig was purchased a year ago. Because of that, there could be
several causes for the problem (lack of cooling) and there may be other potential
problems about to develop.
It is possible that some refrigerant has leaked. Moisture and other contami-
nation may be inside the system. You have been told there are no heater problems,
but that doesn’t mean there are none that might affect AC system operation. The AC
system has quit cooling several times in the last few days. The problem may have
become more severe than when it quit cooling the first time.
If enough refrigerant or oil has leaked out, a low pressure cutout switch may have
cut the circuit to the clutch, protecting the compressor. Because the system has not
been maintained in a year, there may be other components that should be serviced.
You could fix the probable causes, and the system might work and then break down
again as the rig drives out of your place. From your knowledge and what the
operator has just told you, you know this may not be a quick fix problem.
It’s up to you to describe the service situation to the operator. Tell him you need
to do a complete system maintenance inspection to find and correct the problem or
other potential problems. He can give you the go ahead for full service and repair
now, wait till you have inspected the system to determine cause and cost, or delay
repair until he has some down time available.
Normally when the operator can tell you what the problem is, you would first
operate the system to verify the problem. In this situation your troubleshooting (your
own knowledge added to what the operator told you), indicates the next step. You
need to do a complete maintenance inspection instead! Proceed as described in
Chapter 7. Correct any obvious problems and check carefully for leaks. Leak testing
should be visual, by feel and with a leak detector. Next, do your performance test
with the engine running and the AC system on.
Change 1 8-5
TM 5-3810-307-24-1-2
If your AC and heater visual, electrical and leak inspections don’t turn up any problems,
save time by hooking up the manifold gauge set before you make the performance test. If
you find a leak and can correct it easily by tightening a connection, do so. But if too much
refrigerant leaked out, you may have to add some refrigerant to the system for an
effective performance test. We will get into detail on troubleshooting with gauges after
we explain manifold gauge set installation and adding refrigerant.
CAUTION
Never hook up the gauge set when the engine and air conditioner
are running. Be sure all the valves on the manifold are closed all
the way (turn them clockwise). Check the hose connections on the
manifold for tightness.
Locate the low and high side system service fittings and remove their protective caps.
Position or hang the manifold gauge set in a convenient location. Figure 8-2 illustrates a
good example of manifold gauge set hookup in one service situation.
Figure 8-2
A typical manifold gauge set hookup
is shown in this illustration. The center
hose on the gauge set is connected to
the vacuum pump.
The manifold gauge set is a necessary tool in troubleshooting AC system problems. The
following steps are performed during and after installing the manifold gauge set:

Figure 8-4
In this illustration we have
noted how refrigerant is
added to the air conditioner.
Before adding refrigerant to the system you should study the sight glass
while the engine is running and the air conditioner is on. Even if you
found a leak during the system inspection and corrected it, you have no
way of knowing how much refrigerant has leaked. You will not be able to
tell how much refrigerant is in there, but you can see if bubbles are
present.
Then check the gauges for unusually high or low readings, or a lack of
pressure. Following this procedure, and using your knowledge and experi-
ence, decide if it is safe and makes sense to add refrigerant in order to
make your full performance inspection.
You are now ready to add refrigerant to the system. For your safety and
to prevent system damage use the following procedure.
1. Turn on the engine and set the idle at 1200 to 1500 RPM and
then turn on the air conditioner.
8-8
Manifold Gauge Set Installation
3. Add refrigerant until the gauges read in the normal range and
the sight glass appears clear. The sight glass may not be clear
for a moment just before or after the clutch cycles on and off
but should generally be clear. Gauge readings will fluctuate
as the compressor cycles on and off.
4. When the gauges show normal, close the hand valve on the
manifold, the hose end shutoff valve, and the valve on the
refrigerant container. You can now proceed with the perfor-
mance inspection.
8-9
Chapter 8- Troubleshooting & Service Procedures
Start the engine and set to a fast idle of 1200 to 1500 RPM. Turn on the air
conditioner. After a quick in-cab performance test of control function,
blower speeds and air flow, set the AC system controls to maximum
cooling and blower speed on high. All windows must be closed. If cab
temperature is hot (rig has been sitting in the sun with the windows
closed), open the windows for a minute or so to let the hot air out. Run the
engine and air conditioner about five minutes for the system to stabilize.
In hot humid weather or where the AC condenser can’t receive adequate
air flow from the engine fan you may have to use a floor mounted fan to
force sufficient air flow through condenser fins. This helps to stabilize the
system by simulating ram air flow found under normal operating condi-
tions.
When a vehicle has a tilt cab or hood and the condenser is part of the
grill, you must use the floor fan to get air to the condenser. You could tilt
the cab or hood back to normal position, carefully routing the manifold
gauge set and hoses away from moving parts. Then place the gauges so
you can read system pressure.
Tip: You see bubbles in the sight glass. The air from
vents in the cab is only slightly cool.

Review of Frequent Problem Areas
2. Condenser
Condensers get dirty and the dirt reduces heat movement by insulating
the condenser. The fittings come loose or break from stress if the con-
denser or connecting hoses are not secured properly to keep the effects of
vibration at a minimum.
Heat transfer efficiency and pressure in the condenser are affected by
the amount of outside air flowing through condenser fins. A lack of air
flow can mean the refrigerant doesn’t give up enough heat energy to the
outside air (it doesn’t change state). The refrigerant arrives at the evapo-
rator as a gas and can’t pick up any heat energy from cab air. In the cab,
air from the vents is only slightly cool or warm.
One possible cause of condenser malfunction could be the engine cool-
ing system. This is why fan clutches and radiator shutters are often
controlled or overridden by AC switch function. In fact, we can add fan
clutch, radiator shutters and also fan motors to condenser problems. If
they don’t function to allow sufficient air through the condenser, pressure
inside the system may become dangerously high. A lack of air through the
condenser fins can raise high side pressure and blow out the weakest
point in a system, or damage the compressor.
8-21
Chapter 8 -Troubleshooting & Service Procedures
Heavy duty vehicle vibration causes stress on all lines, fittings and
connections. Regular maintenance includes checking and tightening any
suspect line, or hose retainers, or grommet position where the grommet is
protecting a line or hose from abrasion. Any insulating material wrapped
around hoses must be in place and securely fastened.
Before any refrigerant was put inside the AC system, someone used a
vacuum pump to evacuate any air and moisture. Vacuum is really a force
pulling against all hoses, fittings and components from the inside. When
the system is charged with refrigerant, the pressure goes from minus (a
vacuum) to plus pressure inside the hoses and all components. The
refrigerant and refrigeration oil are trying to escape from the system at
all times.
Technicians frequently add refrigerant to a system, replacing refriger-
ant seepage through system connections or fittings. If the system has
been maintained regularly (every three to six months), adding a small
amount of refrigerant may result in normal system function. However,
the best procedure is to check all connections and look for, find and repair
any leaks before adding refrigerant.
When your leak detector indicates the presence of a leak, you can’t tell
how long the system has been leaking. Finding one leak doesn’t mean
there are not others. Until you have some AC system work experience, it
will be hard to guess how much refrigerant may have leaked. If you have
to top a system off with a half pound of refrigerant or more, adding
refrigerant is not the answer.
Find the leak. Recover all of the refrigerant and repair the system. The
moisture absorbing capacity of any desiccant material is limited and
cannot be measured. For that reason, replace the receiver-drier or accu-
mulator. Then evacuate the system for an hour and recharge with refrig-
erant.
When a compressor shaft seal has leaked oil and the refrigerant charge
is a little low, the shaft seal may have leaked because the air conditioner
was not used. The seal can get a little out of round from the weight of the
crankshaft and leak above the shaft. Running the compressor may cause
the seal to swell and close up the leak. The shaft rotation exerts force all
around the seal and puts life back into it. To prevent this from happening,
manufacturers recommend regular AC system operation a minimum of
every couple of weeks even in cool weather.
8-22
Conclusion
Keep in mind that the compressor can cause a vacuum inside the system if
there is a restriction in the system. That means it can suck air and
moisture inside under some conditions. It will pull these contaminants in
through the same space where refrigerant and refrigerant oil has leaked
out.
Conclusion
What could the air conditioning problem and it’s cause have been at the
beginning of this chapter? The operator was in a hurry, but you were able to
start your troubleshooting with the answers he gave you. Problems your
inspection may have turned up are a very low refrigerant charge, a contami-
nated system or defective compressor. Those are not quick fix jobs.
On the other hand, you might have found enough debris on the condenser fin
surface to boost high side pressures to an abnormal level during the hottest
TM
part of the day. So the Trinary or high pressure switch would cut out from
high pressure—but reset itself. You cleaned the condenser, added a half pound
of refrigerant and AC system pressures and function returned to normal.
Service and repair took a half hour. But there was no way to tell without using
your knowledge and experience. By now you are pretty familiar with AC
system problems, the reasons for some of them, troubleshooting and repair. In
Chapter 9 we will describe complete system purging, evacuation, flushing and
recharging.

The primary use of a flushing kit is to remove contaminants from the AC system
hoses, evaporator, and condenser. Any other component of an AC system should
be bench checked or replaced, since flushing may be ineffective or may damage a
component. Flushing is usually performed after the recovery process. We
recommend it before you replace the compressor, or when you find contamination
in other components (receiver-drier, expansion valve, or connections). Some
recover/recycle machines have optional "flush kits." The only proper way to flush
system components is to use refrigerant in a closed-loop system.
2. Start the vacuum pump and open both the hand valves on the
manifold all the way. Run the pump for five minutes, then
close the hand valves and shut off the pump.
3. Check the gauge readings for five minutes. If the gauge
needles move up, the system is not sealed. There is a leak. Air
and moisture are being sucked into the system by the vacuum.
4. Tighten any loose connections. Re-start the pump, and open
the hand valves on the gauges again. Repeat the vacuum test.

Chapter 9 - Refrigerants
5. Run the vacuum pump for at least an hour to remove the moisture
from the system.
The moisture must turn to gas before the pump can pull it out. The moisture
takes time to boil away, so that it can be drawn out of the system.
Your vacuum pump can draw most of the air out pretty quickly. But a
deep vacuum requires more time; the deeper the vacuum the longer it takes
to get there. To ensure the least possible amount of air and moisture in the
system, buy a good quality vacuum pump, take care of it, and use it for at
least an hour.

Evacuating and Charging the AC System
2. Connect the center service hose from the gauge set to the
refrigerant container dispensing valve. Purge the hose of any
air using refrigerant gas pressure from the container.
3. Run the engine at 1200 to 1500 RPM, with the AC unit on
maximum cool.
4. Open the dispensing valve, then the low side hand valve on
the manifold. Figure 9-5 illustrates system charging with
refrigerant gas entering the compressor on the suction (low
pressure) side of the system.
Figure 9-5
In this illustration, refriger-
ant is added on the low side
ofthe system as a gas. The
engine must be running at
1200 to 1500 RPM to draw
the gas in.
5. Check the sight glass when you have added nearly the speci-
fied amount of refrigerant. Keep adding refrigerant until the
sight glass clears or you have added the specified refrigerant
charge. Use an oil injector to replace oil drained from the
system. Remember, a large leak may have resulted in nearly
all the lubricant being lost.
6. Close the valve on the refrigerant container. Close the hand
valve on the gauge set and check the gauge readings. The
gauges should read in the normal range.
7. Turn off the engine and AC system. Check for leaks. If the
system checks out OK, back seat the service valves. Remove
the manifold gauge set hose fittings from the compressor. If
Schrader valves are in use, be sure to remove the manifold
hose fittings quickly and carefully, using a glove or shop towel
to protect your hand. Replace the protective caps on the
compressor service valves.

Chapter Review
Reclaiming Refrigerant
Reclaiming refrigerant reprocesses the material to virgin purity. For sources of
reclaimed refrigerant or to send refrigerant for reclamation, contact the EPA,
the independent industry organizations, or your state’s Department of Ecology.
Chapter Review
• Common refrigerants have varying properties and operating
pressures.
• New laws require that we standardize our refrigerant processing
methods throughout the industry. This includes the processes
that handle refrigerant, including recovering and recycling,
which are the most economic and environmentally friendly ways
of handling the refrigerant.
• Recovery/recycle processes deal directly with the refrigerant.
During recovery the refrigerant is removed from the AC system.
During recycling it is restored to reusable condition by removing
moisture, acidity, and particulate matter.
• The flushing procedure removes contaminants from the AC sys-
tem hoses, evaporator, and condenser. The evacuation process
removes air and moisture from the AC system. This is necessary
before adding new or recycled refrigerant. The process of adding
refrigerantis called charging.
• Reclaiming a refrigerant means processing the refrigerant so
that it meets standards for new refrigerant.

WARNING
Improper practices or carelessness can cause burns, cuts, mutilation,
asphyxiation or other bodily injury or death.
Read and understand all of the safety precautions and warnings before performing any repair. This list contains the
general safety precautions that must be followed to provide personal safety. Special safety precautions are included in
the procedures when they apply.
• Make sure the work area surrounding the product is dry, well lit, ventilated; free from clutter, loose tools, parts,
ignition sources and hazardous substances. Be aware of hazardous conditions that can exist.
• Always wear protective glasses and protective shoes when working.
• Rotating parts can cause cuts, mutilation or strangulation.
• Do not wear loose-fitting or torn clothing. Remove all jewelry when working.
• Disconnect the battery (negative [-I cable first) and discharge any capacitors before beginning any repair work.
Disconnect the air starting motor if equipped to prevent accidental engine starting. Put a “Do Not Operate” tag
in the operator’s compartment or on the controls.
• Use ONLY the proper engine barring techniques for manually rotating the engine. Do not attempt to rotate the
crankshaft by pulling or prying on the fan. This practice can cause serious personal injury, property damage, or
damage to the fan blade(s) causing premature fan failure.
• If an engine has been operating and the coolant is hot, allow the engine to cool before you slowly loosen the
filler cap and relieve the pressure from the cooling system.
• Do not work on anything that is supported ONLY by lifting jacks or a hoist. Always use blocks or proper
stands to support the product before performing any service work.
• Relieve all pressure in the air, oil, and the cooling systems before any lines, fittings, or related items are
removed or disconnected. Be alert for possible pressure when disconnecting any device from a system that
utilizes pressure. Do not check for pressure leaks with your hand. High pressure oil or fuel can cause personal
injury.
• To prevent suffocation and frostbite, wear protective clothing and ONLY disconnect liquid refrigerant (freon)
lines in a well ventilated area. To protect the environment, liquid refrigerant systems must be properly emptied
and filled using equipment that prevents the release of refrigerant gas (fluorocarbons) into the atmosphere.
Federal law requires capture and recycling refrigerant.
• To avoid personal injury, use a hoist or get assistance when lifting components that weigh 23 kg [50 Ib] or
more. Make sure all lifting devices such as chains, hooks, or slings are in good condition and are of the correct
capacity. Make sure hooks are positioned correctly. Always use a spreader bar when necessary. The lifting
hooks must not be side-loaded.
• Corrosion inhibitor contains alkali. Do not get the substance in your eyes. Avoid prolonged or repeated contact
with skin. Do not swallow internally. In case of contact, immediately wash skin with soap and water. In case of
contact, immediately flood eyes with large amounts of water for a minimum of 15 minutes. IMMEDIATELY
CALL A PHYSICIAN. KEEP OUT OF REACH OF CHILDREN.
• Naptha and Methyl Ethyl Ketone (MEK) are flammable materials and must be used with caution. Follow the
manufacturer’s instructions to provide complete safety when using these materials. KEEP OUT OF REACH
OF CHILDREN.
• To avoid burns, be alert for hot parts on products that have just been turned OFF, and hot fluids in lines, tubes,
and compartments.
• Always use tools that are in good condition. Make sure you understand how to use them before performing
any service work. Use ONLY genuine Cummins or Cummins Recon® replacement parts.
• Always use the same fastener part number (or equivalent) when replacing fasteners. Do not use a fastener of
lessor quality if replacements are necessary.
• Do not perform any repair when fatigued or after consuming alcohol or drugs that can impair your functioning.
• Some state and federal agencies in the United States of America have determined that used engine oil can be
carcinogenic and can cause reproductive toxicity. Avoid inhalation of vapors, ingestion, and prolonged contact
with used engine oil.

TM 5-3810-307-24-1-2
General Information
The air compressor is an engine-driven, piston-type compressor which supplies compressed air to operate air powered
devices. The compressor runs continuously but has loaded and unloaded operating modes. The operating mode is
controlled by a pressure activated governor and the compressor unloading assembly. When the air system reaches
cut-out pressure, the governor applies an air signal to the air compressor unloader assembly causing the unloader cap
valve to activate and stops compressed air from flowing into the air system. As the air in the air system is used, the
pressure drops. At cut-in pressure, the governor exhausts the air signal to the compressor unloader assembly,
allowing the compressor to again pump compressed air into the air system.
• The E-Type (E for economy) unloader differs in that the intake is closed by the unloader cap during the
unloaded mode. Back pressure on the exhaust valve at the same time traps air in the cylinder causing the
piston to move against an air spring, thereby reducing parasitic horsepower draw in the unloaded mode.
Additional benefits include reduced oil passage, cooler exhaust air temperature and unlimited turbocharger
boosting capability. For more information on E-type systems, refer to Service Bulletin No. 3666104, Air
Compressor Familiarization – Holset E-Type.
NOTE
The E-Type System can require modification to the vehicle air system plumbing if an air
dryer vented to the atmosphere during the unloaded mode is used on the vehicle. All QE
Model Air Compressors utilize the E-Type unloader.

Lubrication System
Air compressors are lubricated with pressurized engine
oil. The oil provides both a lubrication and cooling
medium for bearings, piston rings and cylinder walls.
G-2
TM 5-3810-307-24-1-2
Oil Change Interval: Use the oil drain interval specified for
a particular engine model. The use of a high quality SAE
15W40 heavy duty engine oil which meets the American
Petroleum Institute (API) performance classifications CE or
CF-4 is recommended.
NOTE
When operating in extreme environments
where very high or very low temperatures or
airborne dirt or dust is present, consider
much shorter oil change intervals consistent
with engine manufacturer recommendations.
G-3
TM 5-3810-307-24-1-2
The drain line must enter the engine at the point above
the engine oil level to prevent a back flow restriction.
Cooling System
The engine cooling system provides the cooling water for
air compressors. The air compressor function produces
high temperature exhaust air, which if not con-trolled,
causes excessive carbon formation in the com-pressor
head and discharge or exhaust line. It can shorten
compressor life.
G-4
TM 5-3810-307-24-1-2
Water Lines: inlet and outlet water line size must be 12.7
mm [0.50-inch] outside diameter (OD) minimum of opti-
mum flow rate. Either water port can be used for inlet or
outlet water plumbing.
Duty Cycle
Duty cycle is defined as the period of time the compressor is
pumping (compressing air) as a percentage of total operating
time. The air compressor duty cycle defines the life cycle,
generally, lower duty cycles result in the longest life cycles.
G-5
TM 5-3810-307-24-1-2
The following life cycle information is provided for all current models produced by the manufacturer.
• Maximum turbocharged pumping cycle length = 1 minute (at maximum engine boost or rated engine speed).
• This information does not alter or affect the written warranty for a specific unit, which is the only warranty that
applies to a specific unit. See written warranty for details.

Application Recommendations
The following application information is generic and must be used only as a guide to the air compressor size required
for a specific application. If vehicles are equipped with multiple air accessories, the next larger air compressor size is
required.
G-7
TM 5-3810-307-24-1-2
NOTE
The air compressors are designed for the full
engine operating range of turbocharged
(pressurized) inlet air without use of pressure
reducing or restrictive devices.
Drive Options
The air compressor can be driven by either of two options:
NOTE
Compressor through-drive options are available
for power steering and fuel pumps on some
engine applications.

TM 5-3810-307-24-1-2
Air Dryers: Air dryers are recommended for all vehicle air
brake systems. The primary function of the air dryer is
moisture removal to prevent downstream freeze-ups and
corrosion of air lines, air tanks, and valving components.
Air Tanks: Air tanks provide the vehicle with an air stor-
age reservoir area for braking needs. As a minimum, a
service and emergency air reservoir tank are required. A
third tank is also provided and acts as a reservoir wet tank
where moisture and other system contaminates condense
during the air cooling process downstream of the com-
pressor.
NOTE
To obtain optimum air system
performance, all air reservoir tanks must
be purged daily to prevent excess ac-
cumulation of contaminate material and
reduced air storage volume.
Change-1 G-9
TM 5-3810-307-24-1-2
NOTE
If an air dryer is used, see manufacturer’s
guidelines.
G-10
TM 5-3810-307-24-1-2
NOTE
When orientation is changed in the field, new
gaskets must be used when the air
compressor is assembled.
G-11
TM 5-3810-307-24-1-2
NOTE
Use of a differential check valve other than the identified part, can result in system
malfunction. Contact the dryer manufacturer for recommendation.
NOTE
To prevent overnight or shutdown freeze-ups of the Econ valve not confirming to the 2 to
7 foot Econ valve location, make sure that the vehicle wet tank is drained to below
governor cut-in pressure (via wet tank drain valve) following vehicle shutdown. This
action will open the Econ valve and allow compressor air flow at vehicle start-up.

Metric capscrews and nuts are identified by the grade number stamped on the head of the capscrew or on the surface
of the nuts. U.S. Customary capscrews are identified by radial lines stamped on the head of the capscrew.
NOTE
1. Always use the torque values listed in the following tables when specific torque values are
not available.
2. Do not use the torque values in place of those specified in other sections of this manual.
3. The torque values in the table are based on the use of lubricated threads.
4. When the ft-lb value is less than 10, give consideration to converting the ft-lb value to in-lb to
obtain a better torque with an in-lb torque wrench. Example: 6 ft-lb equals 72 in-lb.

Specifications contained in this bulletin are for the purpose of testing the performance of starter and D.C. motors.
The specifications apply only when tests are conducted as recommended in the applicable service bulletin.
To obtain performance data on a motor or to determine the cause of abnormal operation, the motor should be
subjected to a “no-load” test. This test is performed as described below, with the motor removed from the engine.
No-Load Test
To perform the no-load test, connect the starter motor in series with a fully charged battery of the specified
voltage as illustrated in Figure 5. An rpm indicator is necessary to measure pinion speed. Obtain the specified
voltage by varying the carbon pile. Read the current draw and the pinion speed and compare these readings with
the values listed in the published specifications.
NOTE
Do not apply voltage above what is specified. Excessive voltage may cause the
armature to throw windings.

This low temperature system uses heaters for stable system operation in a
subzero climate. The main electronics are automatically warmed before the
system boards and components are energized. Therefore, all system
components must be installed and sealed from the environment when operating
and/or troubleshooting in low temperature conditions.
The PAT Load Moment Indicator (LMI) DS 350 has been designed to provide the
crane operator with the essential information required to operate the machine
within its design parameters.
Using a variety of sensing devices, the Load Moment Indicator (LMI) System monitors
various crane functions and provides the operator with a continuous reading of the crane’s
capacity. The readings continuously change as the crane moves through the motions
necessary to make the lift.
The LMI provides the operator with information regarding the length and angle
of the boom, working radius, rated load and the calculated total weight being lifted
by the crane.

Preface
These instructions are intended as an aid to ensure correct performance of the maintenance and
repair jobs on ZF Power Steering Gear.
We should like to emphasize that steering systems should be repaired on principle in workshops
only, which have:
1. trained personnel
2. the specified equipment e.g.,. test bench, crack-testing equipment and special tools
All the work on steering systems must be performed with maximum care and precision. This applies
in particular for steering systems and transmission elements for vehicles following an accident and
damaged as a result of external forces. The manufacturer of the respective part is not liable for
damage and the resulting consequences due to incorrect and inexpert repairs within the scope of
contractual liability.
For the compilation of these instructions the standard steering system used for this purpose may
differ slightly with regard to operations and technical details on the unit to be repaired.
Consequently, these instructions belong into the hands of expert foremen and mechanics whose
practical and theoretical training in our Service Training Center is supplemented by this reference
volume.

TABLE OF CONTENTS
ZF Power Steering Gears which are installed according to instructions, expertly maintained and
operated free of accidents will attain a long life. To obtain full functional capacity, we recommend a
checkup of all mechanical steering components (visual check of all and a crack test of highly
stressed parts as well as an exchange of seals and gaskets within scope of 3rd inspection (refer to
Section 8, Page H-24.).
The size of the steering system and the mechanical steering ratio are selected in cooperation with
the manufacturer of the respective vehicle in such a manner that in the event of a failing hydraulic
steering support (power steering) the max actuating forces to be applied at steering wheel will not
exceed a maximum extent considered reasonable by pertinent legislation.
This force is 600 N at the circumference of the steering wheel when the car, traveling straight
ahead, is turned into a circle with a 12 m radius (BO-circle - FRG- specific). At a road speed of
approx. 10 km/h, the requisite lock should be applied within 6 seconds at the most, or 8 seconds in
the case of vehicles having a design-related maximum speed of 25 km/h. The driver must be aware
that should the hydraulic assistance suddenly fail, due to the failure of the pump drive, for example,
the vehicle will still be steerable although considerably more force will be necessary to turn the
steering wheel. Since situations of this nature are extremely rare and generally give no prior
warning of their occurrence, the driver may mistakenly assume that the steering system is locked.
However, this is not the case. The driver need only apply the requisite force to steer the vehicle.
Single-circuit steering systems which require the application of a force in excess of 600 N to steer
the aforementioned BO-circle in the event of the hydraulic assistance failing are equipped with an
engine-independent back-up emergency steering pump.
This important information is intended to serve general safety and should be of assistance to clarify
interrelations as described above to protect the driver against erroneous assumptions in such a
case.
Change-1 H-7
TM 5-3810-307-24-1-2
2.1 Construction:
The ZF Single Circuit Power Steering Gear comprises a completely mechanical steering gear unit,
where the power is transmitted from the steering spindle to the steering nut and from there to the
sector shaft. In a single circuit power steering gear there is one hydraulic control valve before
steering nut, centrally in relation to steering spindle and organically attached to steering case.
The valve in front of the steering nut controls steering circuit I with either a drive dependent pump or
an engine-driven pump and an additional drive-dependent pump (3-pump steering system). If one
circuit fails - for example circuit II because the engine has stopped - hydraulic assistance is
maintained by the additionally connected emergency steering pump which is driven by the forward
movement of the vehicle. The valve housings of each steering circuit accommodate a replenishing
valve, through which oil can be in-taken from the return line when one circuit is without hydraulic
assistance, and a pressure-relief valve which protects the lines if an obstacle is encountered or
limits operating pressure in steering systems without steering-lock limitation.
Adjustment is by means of adjuster rings on the steering spindle on the steering gear.
One or two pressure oil pumps per steering circuit. The flow volume must be designed in such a
manner that a steering speed of approximately 1.5 steering wheel turns per second is possible. On
engine-dependent pump, this steering speed should be available within entire speed range of
engine as required for normal driving. In some cases, this steering speed can be reduced in lower
speed range, but should not drop below one steering wheel turn per second at idle speed. For the
drive-dependent pump the transmission ratio from drive to pump should be selected in such a
manner that the above steering speed is attained at a vehicle speed of approx. 10 km/h.
One or more power cylinders attached to the steered axle or axles of the vehicle and connected to
the steering system valve by high-pressure hoses or pressure pipes. A ball joint or universal joint
connects the piston rod of the power cylinder to the steering arm or track arm, or in some cases to
the track rod.
2.2 Function:
To obtain hydraulic support via steering, which is initiated by turning the steering wheel, the worm
and the two valve sleeves (on single circuit power steering gears one valve sleeve) must be
displaced from their neutral position. The worm is held in this neutral position by means of cup
springs. For this reason, forces must be provided to overcome the preload of the spring. The
steering nut, positively connected with sector shaft and with the steered wheels, will resist the rotary
movement. When the steering system is operated, the worm is therefore axially loaded via steering
nut and ball chain and the resistance of the spring is overcome. As a result of the connected
movement of the valve sleeves from their neutral position the valve control grooves will be adjusted.
H-8 Change-1
TM 5-3810-307-24-1-2
As a result, the pressure oil is now routed only to one side of the double side power cylinder. Under
influence of the pressure difference in power cylinder an axial force will act on piston rod. The
direction in which the piston rod is moving is respectively controlled in such a manner that it will
follow the movement of the steering linkage which is generated by turning the steering wheel, and
will thereby support the steering movement.
When the steering wheel is released, the cup springs will make sure that the valve returns back to
its neutral position.
A cross-type disk provides longitudinal compensation between steering spindle and worm,
preventing transmission of the worm’s axial movement to the steering column.
If a force acts in the reverse direction from the wheels to the steering linkage while the driver is
holding the steering wheel in its position, the worm is again axially displaced; now, however, the
hydraulic support is acting in the opposite direction and absorbs the impact and will thereby relieve
the driver.
But if a force is transmitted from the direction of the wheels to the steering gear and the steering
wheel is released, e. g. while driving around a bend, the worm will not be displaced axially owing to
the preload of the springs, but will automatically perform a rotary movement.
The force of the cup spring preload is therefore important for the return movement of the steering
system.

NOTE

3.1.1 Function
The housing cover (21) holds the control piston (224) which is axially moved by the teeth at face
end on sector shaft. On one side of the control piston are two steering limit valves (231), their balls
are moved by cones on control piston via pins (229). When the sector shaft is rotated, the pistons
will remain in rest position until a cone of the control piston encounters and thereby raises a pin. As
a result, the hydraulic steering limit can be separately controlled for each steering circuit. The two
steering limit valves are connected with remote control valve by means of a common control line.
The steering limit valves are simultaneously connected with the power cylinders by way of check
valves. When the control piston is moved to the right when the steering wheel is turned, steering
limit valve (b2) will open after a given pitman arm deflection. The opening point of the steering limit
valve can be changed by screwing in or out.
The result is that the oil pressure in the control line to remote control valve drops and the oil will flow
through the opened check valves in the power cylinder sides connected to the return flow line. The
connections of the power cylinders are selected in such a manner that with the steering limit valve
opened no pressure rests against check valve or that the respective power cylinder side is
connected with the return flow line. The remote control valve opens so that the oil flow generated by
the pumps flows into the return line. The steering limit valve (a2) remains closed during this
procedure.
If the control piston is moved to the left when the steering wheel is turned, the steering limit valve
(a2) will open after a given pitman arm deflection, so that the pressure of the oil in the control line
will drop and the remote control valve will let the oil flow from the pump into the return line.
With the steering limit valves opened the steering can be turned up to stop in steering or in power
cylinder at increased manual force and considerably reduced hydraulic support (e.g. with drag link
disconnected).
3.1.2 Adjustment
Screw in pressure gauge (pressure range up to 250 bar) into pressure line between pump and
pressure connection 1 of steering control valve (refer to Fig. 3) and jack steering axle(s). Position
vehicle jack at axle. If the vehicle has no rigid steering axle(s), the steered wheels for adjusting the
hydraulic steering limit must be placed on rotary supports; the steering axle must be definitely
loaded for the approximate compensation of deflection faults which may occur while measuring. On
vehicles with hinged frame steering no axle need be jacked up. Turn steering with engine running
without major manual force up to wheel lock. Have another mechanic hold a spacing sheet 2 - 3
mm thick between the wheel lock components so that a small reserve is still available.
Change-1 H-11
TM 5-3810-307-24-1-2
The thickness of the sheet depends on the stiffness of the steering system and it is therefore
possible that on some vehicles the sheet must be thicker. After lock has been attained, a short
period (max 5 s) of turning the steering wheel will overcome the resetting force of the steering
valves until a fix stop has been attained. This requires a circumferential force on steering wheel of
approx. 100 - 200 N. In this position, the pressure gauge should indicate an oil pressure of 30 to 35
bar. The adjustment is corrected by loosening the counternuts (b1 or a1) and screwing the
respective adjusting screw (b2 or a2) in or out; 20º turning travel on adjusting screw corresponds
with a pitman arm deflection of 1º. While turning the adjusting screw, release steering wheel so that
only a passing pressure will be established during this job. Then tighten counternut (b1 or a1) to 30
Nm. The adjustment for the second wheel lock is performed in the same manner. Adjusting screw
(b2) and counternut (b1) in Fig. 2 must be adjusted, when the pitman arm is moved in direction “A”
as shown in Fig. 3. The adjusting screw (a2) and the counternut (a1) are adjusted likewise, when
the pitman arm is turning in direction “B”.
After adjustment has been made as described, the hydraulic support should be available until
shortly before reaching wheel lock.
If the pressure drops too early or too late when turning the pitman arm in direction “A” or “B”, the
adjusting screws (b2) and (a2) must be turned as described below.
If the pressure measured is higher than 35 bar, the respective steering limit valve must be
screwed further into the cover (clockwise).
If the pressure measured is lower than 30 bar, the respective steering limit valve must be turned
further out (counterclockwise).
In Fig. 4, the distance “f” is the clearance between the wheel-stop components which should be 1 -
3 mm when the hydraulically remote-controlled or mechanical steering-lock limitation responds.
3.1.3 Checkup:
Drive normally loaded vehicle slowly and turn steering wheel until power-assist switches off.
Between the wheel lock (wheel stop) components there should now be a gap of 1 - 3 mm which
corresponds with a steering wheel turn of approx. 20 degrees up to 30 degrees.

3.2.1 Function
Eight inner drivers (143) each with two external protruding stops are pushed up to their respective
shoulders or circlips (154) on the steering spindle (93) or bevel gear (331) of a right-angle type
gear. These drivers can turn in the opposite direction to the spindle. The last driver (148) has two
external protruding stops and is splined so that it mates rigidly and turns with the steering spindle.
In turn, this ring is followed by another eight rotating inner drivers (145) each with two external
protruding stops.
All the rings are held together with axial play by the end flange (151) and the centering ring (346).
A special intermediate flange (95) above these inner drivers carries another sixteen outer drivers
(147), arranged eight on each side of a spacer (144) and each of which has two internal protruding
stops. These drivers rotate and each outermost ring contacts an adjuster ring (146). The spacer is
centered above the carrier (148) and is thinner than the latter by the width of an inner or outer
driver. Hence, the outer drivers which contact the spacer protrude above the carrier (148) to a
distance equal to half the width of a ring, with the result that when the spindle is rotated, the
protruding stops of the carrier which also turns are made to contact those of the first outer rings.
Since inner and outer drivers are of the same width, these rings are also offset by a distance equal
to half the width of a ring and when the angle of rotation is correct the protruding stops of each ring
meet those of two opposite rings.
When steering spindle and steering wheel are turned with the carrier (148), the protruding stops of
this driver soon meet these of the protruding outer drivers (147). These two outermost rings are
now made to turn as well until their protruding stops meet those of the first inner driver, causing the
latter to turn. Further rotation means that the latter turns the next outer ring and so on, until the last
inner drivers contact the protruding stops of the adjuster rings (146). The adjuster rings are rotate-
able, but are engaged by the stud bolts (152) in such a way that they can be fixed in any position in
the intermediate flange, thus limiting steering lock separately for each side. The design is such that
each adjuster ring can act as a stop in only one full-lock position of the steering. To permit
adjustment of steering lock, the adjuster rings can be moved and repositioned from outside without
difficulty.

3.2.2 Adjustment
NOTE
The hydraulic steering-lock limitation is pre-adjusted on the test bench
before leaving the manufacturer. For practical reasons, fine adjustment
takes place when the steering gear is installed with the vehicle at rest.
The procedure is as follows:
Vehicle carrying normal load, steered wheels not raised clear of the ground, engine running. Turn
steering wheel to right until full lock is almost applied (if necessary, use a spacer of 2 - 3 mm in
thickness) (Fig. 4). Switch off engine and release steering wheel (steering will return to neutral
position, the steering wheel turning through approximately 1/4 of a turn).
With the engine at a standstill (with the engine running, the oil is under line pressure), remove the
lower stud bolt (b1) and by turning the adjuster ring (b2) through the threaded hole in the
intermediate flange (92), bring the protruding stops of all the rings into contact with each other. In
this position, turn the steering wheel back until the stud bolt can be screwed into the next radial hole
in the adjuster ring. Tighten the stud bolt. Refer to Technical Data for tightening torque.
Start the engine and carry out the adjustment in the same way for the left-hand lock. In this case, it
is the upper stud bolt (a1) which must be removed with the engine switched off.
Turn the lower adjuster ring anticlockwise with right-hand lock applied and turn the upper adjuster
ring clockwise with left-hand lock applied. If such a procedure appears beneficial, the upper adjuster
ring can be used for right-hand lock and the lower adjuster ring for left hand lock. Invariably,
however, the adjuster rings have to be turned as far as they will go in the direction opposite to that
in which the steering wheel is turned.
3.2.3 Check:
With the vehicle carrying its normal load, motionless with the engine running, steered wheels not
raised clear of the ground, turn the steering until full lock is applied in one direction. There should
now be a space of 1 - 3 mm between the full-lock stop components, corresponding to a wheel lock
of approximately 20 to 30 degrees.

TM 5-3810-307-24-1-2
NOTE
a) Thoroughly clean the oil tank and its immediate vicinity before
removing the cap, in order to prevent dirt entering the hydraulic oil.
b) When cleaning the vehicle with steam-cleaning equipment, do not
direct the jet of steam directly against exposed seals of units
belonging to the steering system. Water penetrating protective caps,
shaft seals or the seals of universal joints may cause corrosion
damage.
c) In the sections below, the intervals for inspections of ZF hydraulic
steering gear are stated in kilometers driven and in service hours.
The kilometers-driven data are applicable to road-going vehicles, the
service-hour data apply to off-road vehicles. The quantity of fuel
consumed will serve as a reference value for the intervals for
vehicles equipped with neither an odometer nor a service-hour
counter.
4.1 Checkup
In the course of general service jobs for the respective vehicle all the screw connections and lines
of the power steering gear, pumps, engine and drive-dependent valves and power cylinders are
checked for leaks. The piston rod of the power cylinder may be coated with a thin oil film, but no
drops should show up.
If the steering system is subsequently installed, the installing workshop should make this checkup
after driving 1,000 km or after 25 hours of operation.
When pulling out the contaminated filter cartridge, the lower opening must be kept closed
immediately after lifting the cartridge from filter carrier to make sure that the contaminated oil in the
filter cartridge flows back into the tank and will then again enter the oil circuit.
Drain the oil as follows:
CAUTION
Do not run engine for more than ten seconds (at idle and with oil tank
sucked dry), otherwise the pump will seize. Mixing of oil types should be
avoided.
Jack up steering axles as well as the associated drive axle for the drive-dependent pump drive.
Unscrew oil drain plug below on steering case and loosen hose connections on power cylinders.
Engage a gear step and start engine for a short moment until oil has been drained out of the tank.
Keep turning steering wheel from lock to lock. After stopping the engine, turn steering once again
from lock to lock until no more oil is flowing out. Fasten line connections again to power cylinder.
Screw in oil drain plug. For tightening torque, refer to Technical Data.
H-16 Change-1
TM 5-3810-307-24-1-2
Together with the main inspection *) the filter cartridges in single or multi-chamber oil tank should
also be replaced. When pulling out the used-up filter cartridges keep lower bore closed to make
sure that the used oil from the filter cartridge is not running back into the tank or entering the oil
circuit. Lubricate filter carrier prior to inserting cartridge.
4.5.1 Filling-in
NOTE
During the subsequent procedure make particularly sure that the oil tank
is not sucked empty, since otherwise new air bubbles will again and again
enter the steering system. Also make sure while filling-in and while
venting, that the engine and drive-dependent pumps are operating at the
lowest possible speed (idle speed with gear step engaged and drive axle
for drive-dependent pump jacked up). If the suction current is too high,
small air bubbles would again be sucked in in direction of the pumps and
would be torn into tiny particles when running through the pumps, which
may lead to foaming and then make the venting process
disproportionately long.
Under influence of different installation conditions for our power steering gear and power cylinders
there may be a case in which the steering system in a given vehicle model cannot be completely
vented quickly enough and that the share of the air remaining in the power cylinders will be
removed gradually only. In such a case we recommend loosening the connection between the
power cylinders and the vehicle components on piston side so that the entire piston stroke from
stop to stop in power cylinder can be used for venting.
This will reduce the air remaining in the cylinder to a minimum. This air has no influence on driving
and is automatically absorbed by the oil while driving and discharged. The steering system and the
pumps are filled through the filler neck on single or multi-chamber oil tank. For initial filling and for
an oil change it will be of advantage to remove the tank cover and to fill in hydraulic oil up to edge of
tank. Then, with a gear step engaged (drive axle for drive-dependent pump jacked up), crank
engine several times with the starter motor to fill the entire hydraulic system with oil. Since the oil
level in tank will drop quickly during this process, keep adding oil to make sure that the pumps are
not sucking in air.
Once the steering system has been filled to the extent that the oil level no longer drops beneath the
upper mark on the oil dipstick, allow the engine to run at low speed for a period (if a drive-
dependent is fitted, with driven wheels raised clear of the ground and gear engaged), during which
time most of the air will be expelled from the cylinder chambers. Observe the oil level during this
process. If the level sinks, replenish the supply immediately. To accelerate the bleeding procedure,
it is advisable to turn the steering wheel several times from stop to stop with the steered wheels
raised clear of the ground. With full lock applied, do not apply more force to the steering wheel than
is required to turn the steering. If necessary, add oil until the level remains constant at the upper
mark on the dipstick and air bubbles cease to appear in the tank when the steering wheel is turned
from lock to lock.
*) Minor deviations are permitted, if desired by vehicle manufacturer, to include the intervals into vehicle
maintenance schedule.
Change-1 H-17
TM 5-3810-307-24-1-2
If the vehicle is equipped with additional power cylinders, the line connections must face upward so
that the air in the cylinders and lines can escape. If necessary, slacken the power cylinders or
remove the cylinders.
Bleed the steering case by opening the threaded plug (7) located at the highest point (depending on
attitude) by 1/2 - 1 turn to allow any residual air to escape from the case at this point. As soon as
oil issues from the hole, retighten the threaded plug. Observe the oil level and top up if the level
drops. Then move steering wheel energetically several times from lock to lock. Add oil, if oil level in
tank drops.
Then repeat venting procedure. Open closing plug by 1/2 – 1 turn. As soon as oil flows out, close
plug again immediately and tighten to specified torque (refer to Technical Data). Add oil.
If the instructions above are followed, the oil level in the tank should not rise by more than approx. 1
to 2 cm, depending on the capacity of the steering system, when the engine is switched off. When
the vehicle is under way, the residual air still remaining in the steering system is negligible. This air
is absorbed by the oil while the vehicle is on the move and expelled.
Check the oil level with the oil at operating temperature. Thoroughly clean the tank and its
immediate vicinity before removing the cap to prevent dirt entering the hydraulic oil.
CAUTION
Malfunctions may result if the oil level is too low.
4.6.1 Oil Level Checkup with Engine Stopped and Drive-Dependent Pump Not Driven:
To make sure that no air is sucked in when starting the engine, first check whether oil has been lost
on stopped engine. For this purpose, add oil into tank until the oil level is approx. 1 - 2 cm above the
upper mark of oil sight glass.
4.6.2 Checking Oil Level with Engine Running and Drive-dependent Pump Driven:
With the engine running and the drive-dependent pump driven (gear step engaged and the driving
axle for the drive-dependent pump jacked up), the oil level will slightly drop, since the oil requires a
pressure of 2 - 4 bar owing to the flow resistance while through steering gear.
Now add enough oil so that the oil level is constantly at upper mark. The engine can then be
stopped again. The oil level may rise max 1 to 2 cm. If this is exceeded, it is an indication that there
is air included in the oil.

b. Turn steering to center position (found by halving total number of steering wheel turns).
d. Turn steering into an end position and measure the required friction torque for turning steering
outside straight ahead driving range (approx. 1/2 turn before final lock). For turning steering,
use a torque measuring instrument which is plugged onto steering wheel nut (55).
e. Then measure friction torque of steering in pressure point range (center position). For this
purpose, turn torque measuring instrument approx. 1/2 turn each to the left and to the right
beyond the straight-ahead position, while tightening the adjusting screw (62) to the extent that
a friction torque increase of 30 - 60 Ncm as compared with value measured under Step d. is
obtained.
f. Tighten sealing nut (24) with a tightening torque of 70 Nm; sealing ring should face housing
cover), while holding adjusting screw in position. Check set friction torque once again. Fasten
drag link again to pitman arm. Adjustment of friction torque in straight-ahead range higher
than 30 - 60 Ncm does not improve the steering characteristics and operating conditions in
steering gear in any way whatsoever. It will actually cause excessive pressure at parts which
are in contact with each other and will thereby result in unnecessary wear.
For adjustment of steering limit, refer to Section 3, Function and Adjustment of Hydraulic Steering
Limit (Steering Lock).

As already stated in maintenance instructions, all the vehicles with ZF Power Steering Gear should
be taken to the workshops for inspection of ZF Steering System as well as of the ZF Oil Pumps
after completing the mileage shown below:
The following description applies only to inspections I and II. Removing the steering gear and
pumps from vehicle are not required, except when the inspection shows non-permissible play or
other faults.
To increase traffic safety, we recommend disassembly of steering gears and pumps during III.
inspection to check the mechanical steering components (visual checkup of all and crack test of
highly stressed parts), and to install new seals or gaskets.
NOTE
a) The description of the following inspection jobs is based on a dual
circuit power steering gear, which differs from the single circuit power
steering gear only by a second steering control valve, located behind
steering nut. For inspecting the hydraulic operation of steering gear
and pump of single circuit power steering gear the same conditions
apply as described under Para. 8.1.5.
b) To evaluate the condition of vehicles and of the power steering gear
prior to performing the following inspection and to compare the
performance of the power steering gear before and after the
inspection, a test drive is recommended. This recommendation
applies above all, whenever the evaluation of the steering system by
the driver is poor. Prior to test drive, check oil level and venting to
steering system.
Retighten screws and bolts on steering system and steering attachment to specified tightening
torque.

Check up steering axles (if the vehicle has no rigid steering axles, place wheels on rotary supports).
Move steering gear into center position by having the total steering wheel turned. Then continue
turning the steering wheel until the marking notches on steering spindle and end flange, or on
angular gear version and angular gear housing, are in alignment. The steered wheels should be in
straight-ahead driving position (approximate check by placing a measuring bar against front and
gear rears. Take toe-in into account). A correction is then made by screwing ball joint and drag link
in or out.
NOTE
If a longitudinal correction must be made on steering linkage, the
cause might have been a previous, accident-like event. Inspect the
splining on the sector shaft (60) for distortion (pulling of pitman arm for
this purpose), the steering spindle for distorted installation or other
transmission components for bends or cracks.
Do not recondition distorted parts, discard and replace with new components.
8.1.1.3 Checking Play between Steering Nut (40) and Sector Shaft (60) in Center Position
(Pressure Point Adjustment)
a. Turn steering to center position (refer to Para. 8.1.1.2) and pull drag link from pitman arm.
b. Measure increase of friction torque while turning over pressure point range. The increase
must be 40 to 60 Ncm higher than outside the pressure point. For adjustment of pressure
point, refer to Section 5.
Attach drag link provisionally. Turn steering to the left up to lock. Disconnect drag link and check by
turning steering wheel further, whether there is a steering reserve. Repeat measuring by turning to
the right. There must be a steering reserve on both sides. If not, readjust wheel stop (wheel lock)
screws again. Reconnect drag link.
By turning steering wheel (shaking) back and forth, check for play. In the event of play, remove the
bearing bushing.
8.1.1.6 Check for Torsional Play or Hard-to-move Universal Joint or Companion Plate
between Upper Steering Spindle and Steering Gear
In the event of play (may result in audible rattling when moving back and forth) or reluctant
operation, install new part.
8.1.1.7 Check Steering Spindle and Jack Tube for Max. Permissible Distortion
Jack up steering axle. Remove steering wheel and also remove ball bearing sleeve from jacket
tube. Check permissible distortion of steering spindle and jacket tube according to Section 10.

a. Check whether all screw connections, locks and lines of steering system, as well as the sealing
rings on steering gear and pump are free of leaks. Tighten screw connections if required and
replace damaged sealing rings. When installing new sealing rings, we recommend our special
tools to protect sealing rings.
b. Check all hoses and lines for any signs of chaffing. Replace damaged parts. Use only the
manufacturer’s approved and pressure tested spare parts to replace hoses with visible external
damage such as cracks.
b. Pull out used up filter cartridges at metal collar. When pulling out, keep bore or filter cartridges
closed so that the contaminated oil is not flowing back into tank.
Steering systems in which the pressure limiting valve is located in steering or separately in
line between tester and steering - The pressure limiting valve can therefore no longer reduce the
oil pressure, since the pressure line is locked by the shutoff valve.
For testing of steering circuit I (engine-driven and drive-dependent pump) refer to Para. 8.1.6.
Check tension of V-belt by means of conventional thumb test. (V-belts should not slip even under
maximum pressure). Replace defective V-belts.
WARNING
Pressurized tools may be ejected - avoid close contact on eye level.
In any case, if the tool is held under steering lock conditions, take care
that sufficient free space is provided between wheel and frame. For
instance, the operator’s hand may get squeezed by a jerk of the wheel
while the tool is being pressed out! According to the axle type, use a
thrust piece, specifically designed for this purpose by the vehicle
manufacturer (e.g. inset to Figure 6).
At idle speed of engine and while watching pressure gauge, slowly close installed shutoff valve until
the specified maximum pressure is attained. Then be sure to keep shutoff valve still further closed
to prevent unchecked increase above permissible maximum pressure. Let maximum pressure
act only for a short period, max. five seconds, since otherwise the interior parts of the
pumps will be excessively heated which in turn may lead to early wear.

Refer to Section 3.
Hold pressure elements, approximately 15 mm thick, (Fig. 6) between wheel stop components
which are designed in such a manner that the steering lock is limited 1/2 to 3/4 steering wheel turn
before attaining final lock. The limitation of the steering lock should be attained reliably at these
pressure elements, but not in hydro steering by steering nut in the housing. Turn steering wheel at
idle speed of engine clockwise up to stop and keep turning clockwise on steering wheel at a force of
100 - 200 N until the restoring force of the steering valve is overcome. The resulting oil pressure is
read on pressure gauge. The same measurement is performed when steering to the left. If steering
to the right or to the left or towards both sides, it is shown that the oil pressure at a steering force of
100 -200 N is below the previously measured maximum oil pressure of the pump, the function of the
hydraulic steering is not in order. The cause of the pressure drop may be too much leak oil in
steering valve of steering or in power cylinders.
8.1.5.5 Testing Oil Pump with Hydro Steering Tester for Volume Flow
With the engine idling, close the shutoff valve (8) until the test pressure specified for the type of
pump in question is applied. Check volume-flow reading (see description of hydraulic steering tester
or the appropriate repair instructions for the volume-flow, test-pressure and test-speed
specifications).
8.1.5.6 Testing Steering and Power Cylinder with Hydro Steering Tester for Leak Oil (At
Idle Speed of Engine)
Open the throttle valve (9). Close the shutoff valve (8) completely and the throttle valve until a back
pressure builds up to 20 bar beneath the maximum pressure as stated on the rating plate. Open the
shutoff valve. Place a thrust element approximately 15 mm in thickness on the full-lock bolts.

Turn steering up to lock and pull for a short moment (max. 5 s) at 200 N on steering wheel, so that
the steering valve is completely closed. Repeat test in opposite turning direction.
If these values are exceeded, the cause may be an excessive oil leak in steering or in power
cylinders.
Unscrew line from steering to power cylinder, which is under pressure when the steering wheel is
turned clockwise and close connection to steering with a plug. Repeat leak oil test as described
under Para. 8.1.5.6, Steering System with Power Cylinder above. If this test shows less leak oil, an
inside leak in power cylinders is indicated.
Remove pressure and return lines from valve housing of steering circuit II and connect to valve
housing of steering circuit I (upper valve). Vent steering system and run oil temperature to approx.
50º C. Perform function test as described under Para. 8.1.5 for steering circuit II.
NOTE
The following section shows testing of steering circuit I with drive-
dependent pump (emergency steering pump) on rolling vehicle with
engine stopped. Testing of engine-driven pump (steering systems with
1 or 2 engine-dependent and 1 drive-dependent pumps) proceeds
with engine running at vehicle stopped (refer to Paras. 8.1.5. and
8.1.6.)
b. Move gear shift lever to neutral and push engine shutoff button until indicator lamp for steering
circuit I lights up.
c. Turn steering wheel repeatedly 1/4 to 1/2 turn to the right and left. The steering should move
“easily”; actuating force approx. 50 N at a steering wheel diameter of 500 mm. These
measurements must be performed within a speed range from 25 to 10 km/h. If the drive-
dependent pump is no longer operational, the vehicle can no longer be steered (actuating
force more than 250 N at a steering wheel diameter of 500 mm).
Upon completion of the inspection jobs, a test drive should be made to check the vehicle or the
steering system for perfect operation and absence of external leaks.

and II.
CAUTION
Never attempt to remove the pitman arm by forcing a wedge between
housing neck and pitman arm or by means of hammer blows, since
this will lead to serious damage inside steering gear.
e. Pull off pitman arm with suitable puller (refer to tool 10.).

a. Ensure contact surfaces of fastening eyes of bearing bracket and steering free of paint and
dirt.
b. Place steering gear into bearing bracket and screw down. Tighten screws at specified torque.
c. When fastening jacket tube and steering spindle, particularly with separately installed angular
gear units with flanged-on jacket tube avoid any distortions which may be caused during the
assembly of steering gear/bearing bracket by holding and mounting equipment on fire wall or
on instrument panel.
Distortions may cause bending torques, particularly in steering spindle, which may lead,
depending on size and frequency, among others to permanent fractures or may impair easy
operation of steering gear.
A checkup with regard to correct installation of steering gear should be made as follows:
1) Check for Easy Operation of Steering Gear. Check for easy operation of steering
gear or separately installed angular gear unit in connection with bearing bracket, pitman
arm and drag link(s).
a) Check up steering axle so that the steering can be easily turned manually.
b) Take off steering wheel and remove ball bearing cage or self-aligning bearing
from jacket tube of separately installed angular gear unit.
c) By turning steering spindle for min. 360º, check steering spindle for deformation.
Measurement can be performed with a dial gauge or a depth gauge. Always
take measurement from the same jacket tube peripheral point. The entire radial
run-out divided by 2 indicates the deformation of the steering spindle. The
maximum permissible deformation depends on length of jacket tube and on the
diameter of steering spindle. For this purpose refer to diagram Fig. 7, and
subparagraph 4) below for determining jacket tube length.
3) Checking for Permissible Distortion of Jacket Tube. For this purpose, mark
steering spindle at one point of circumference by a line. Then keep turning steering
spindle in steps (minimum four steps) and after each step always measure distance to
marked point on steering spindle from outside diameter of jacket tube by means of
depth gauge. Since the same steering spindle side is facing the measuring point
around jacket tube, the own run-out of the steering spindle is not included in the
measurement. The difference of the distance, max. dimension to min. dimension,
divided by 2, provides the deformation of the jacket tube. The max. possible
deformation depends on length and diameter of jacket tube, for this purpose refer to
diagram Fig. 7 as well as to explanations of jacket tube length.

CAUTION
During assembly and disassembly of steering wheel do not apply axial
blows against steering spindle.
Valid for steering systems with divided steering column: Install universal joint or flexible
coupling between steering column and steering gear. In straight-ahead driving position the
angular fork member must be at right angle to markings on steering spindle and jacket tube or
valve housing. When using two joints, the bending angles should be the same and the joint
forks should be located on one plane. If such an installation is not possible, synchronization
can be obtained by displacing the forks on splining in relation to each other. Hammer blows
against aluminum universal joints should be avoided, since this may result in destruction or
sluggish operation. Connect by insertion of fitted bolts, as well as by tightening nuts to each
other. Tightening torques of fitted bolts:

The ZF Single Circuit Power Steering Gear has been developed for high demands. The system has
been designed in such a manner that no faults will occur with satisfactory maintenance during
normal operation. If unexpected trouble should nevertheless show up at one time or other, the
following information should be of assistance for pertinent location and removal.
Prior to checking the steering system for individual troubles, check the oil level with the engine
running, a gear step engaged and with the driving axle for the drive dependent pump jacked up.
The accurate procedure of filling-in the oil is described in detail in Section 4, page H-16.
Simultaneously we added that the use of heavily foaming oils may lead to trouble, since such oils
will release any air, after entering the steering system, with difficulty only or not at all.
NOTE
For finding the cause of a fault, each steering circuit must be tested
and checked separately: On three-pump steering systems the two
engine-dependent pumps in steering circuit I and II on stationary
vehicle with engine running. The drive-dependent pump (emergency
steering pump) in steering circuit I on rolling vehicle (drive axle for
drive-dependent pump driven on roller-type dynamometer) with
engine stopped.

I-1. INTRODUCTION
The air compressor is an engine-driven, piston-type compressor which supplies compressed air to
operate air-powered devices. The compressor runs continuously but has loaded and unloaded
operating modes. The operating mode is controlled by a pressure-activated governor and the
compressor unloading assembly. When the air system reaches cut-out pressure, the governor applies
an air signal to the air compressor unloader assembly causing the unloader cap valve to activate and
stop compressed air from flowing into the air system. As the air in the air system is used, the pressure
drops. At cut-in pressure, the governor exhausts the air signal to the compressor unloader assembly,
allowing the compressor to again pump compressed air into the air system.
I-2. TROUBLESHOOTING
NOTE
The following air compressor troubleshooting assumes that the crane’s air
system is otherwise operating properly e.g., the governor is operating;
exhaust line is not blocked, frozen, or leaking; air dryer, reservoirs, and
piping are functional.

SAFETY SUMMARY
WARNING
Correct installation of the heater is necessary to ensure safe operation.
Read and understand this manual before attempting to install the heater.
Failure to follow these procedures could result in serious injury or death.
WARNING
The heater MUST be turned off while re-fueling. Do not install the heater
in an enclosed area where combustible fumes may be present. Failure to
follow these procedures could result in serious injury or death.
WARNING
Install the exhaust system so that a minimum distance of 2 inches (50
mm) from any flammable material is maintained at all times. Ensure that
the fuel system is intact and that there are no fuel leaks.
Route the heater exhaust system so that exhaust fumes cannot enter
either cab compartment. If running exhaust components through an
enclosed compartment, ensure that it is vented to the outside. Failure to
follow these procedures could result in serious injury or death.
WARNING
The engine coolant system should contain the proper mixture of anti-
freeze and water to prevent coolant from freezing or slushing. If the
coolant becomes slushy or frozen, the heater’s coolant pump cannot
move the coolant, causing a blockage in the coolant system. Pressure
could rapidly build-up in the heater and in the coolant hose causing it to
burst or blow off of its connection point. Failure to ensure that the engine
coolant system is properly filled could result in damage to the engine
and/or serious injury. Refer to Chapter 2, Section 2 in this manual.

INTRODUCTION.
The Espar Hydronic 10 is a diesel-fired coolant heater that heats the crane’s engine coolant and the oil
in the hydraulic tank. The heater consists of a water pump, a heat exchanger, and an electronic control
system. The unit pumps the engine coolant into the heat exchanger where the coolant is heated before
being returned to the engine coolant system. The warmed coolant is used to warm the diesel engine
head and cylinder block to promote cold weather starting.
The warmed coolant also passes through two hydraliner heating elements located in the main hydraulic
reservoir. These heating elements enable heat transfer from the warm coolant to the hydraulic oil in
order to improve cold weather operation of the crane’s hydraulic components.
The coolant heater operates independently of the crane’s diesel engine. It does, however, use 24-volt
DC power from the crane’s electrical system as well as diesel fuel from the crane’s fuel tank. The
coolant heater features a temperature regulating switch that controls the coolant temperature by
switching the unit on when the coolant temperature is below 154° F (68° C) and off when the
temperature is above 185° F (85° C).
The coolant heater control circuit includes a seven day timer mounted in the cab, a control unit, flame
sensor, temperature sensor, and an overheat sensor.

THEORY OF OPERATION
Start Up (Refer To Figure J-1.)
Operate the coolant heater manually by depressing the Heater “On” pushbutton on the seven day
timer (18) located in the cab. The following sequence occurs:
a. Coolant heater control unit (4) performs a system readiness check lasting one to three
seconds. The control unit verifies that the flame sensor (2), temperature sensor (6), and
overheat sensor (9), etc., are operational.
b. Water pump (10) starts and circulates engine coolant through the water jacket
surrounding the heat exchanger (8).
d. Glow pin (5) begins a pre-heat sequence that lasts from 20 to 50 seconds.
e. Fuel metering pump (13) delivers fuel to the combustion chamber (3) at the end of the
glow pin pre-heat sequence while the combustion air blower motor (1) ramps up
gradually to full air flow.
f. Fuel is ignited in the combustion chamber (3). Upon fuel ignition, the flame sensor (2)
signals the control unit that ignition has occurred and the control unit shuts off the glow
pin (5) (ignition time: 1-1/2 to 2 minutes).
NOTE
If the coolant heater fails to start on the first try, the control unit (4) will
automatically attempt a second start which includes a second pre-heat
sequence (50 seconds). If the heater does not start after the second
attempt, the heater and control unit will shut down completely.
FIRST TIME STARTUP. When starting the coolant heater for the first
time, the system may require several start up attempts in order to self
prime the fuel system.
a. Coolant heater runs in full heat mode and the coolant temperature is monitored in the
heat exchanger (8) via temperature sensor (6).
b. When the engine coolant reaches 162° F (72° C), the coolant heater control unit (4) will
cycle the coolant heater up and down between high, medium, and low.
c. The coolant heater control unit (4) shuts off the coolant heater when the engine coolant
temperature reaches 185° F (85° C).
d. The water pump (10) continues to circulate engine coolant while the temperature sensor
(6) monitors the temperature. The coolant heater control unit (4) will automatically re-
start the coolant heater if the coolant temperature drops to 154° F (68° C).
J-6 Change-1
TM 5-3810-307-24-1-2
e. The coolant heater will continue to cycle on and off as described in steps b, c, and d until
it is either manually (by depressing the Heater “On” pushbutton) or automatically
(seven day timer times out) shuts down.
NOTE
If the coolant heater flames out while in the running mode, the control unit
(4) will automatically re-start the heater. If the coolant heater does not re-
start after one attempt, the control unit (4) will shutdown the heater.
The coolant heater control unit (4) continually senses the input voltage
from the crane’s batteries. If the input voltage drops below 20 VDC or
rises above 30 VDC, the heater control unit (4) will automatically
shutdown the coolant heater.
a. When switched off, the coolant control unit (4) initiates a heater cool down cycle.
b. The fuel metering pump (13) stops running and the flame is extinguished.
c. The combustion air blower motor (1) and water pump (10) continue operating for
approximately three minutes to cool down the coolant heater combustion chamber.
d. The coolant heater shuts down after the cool down period. The combustion air blower
motor (1) and the water pump (10) stop running.
Safety Equipment (Refer To Figure J-1.)
The coolant heater control unit (4) monitors the heater for malfunctions. The unit employs temperature
(6), overheat (9), and flame (2) sensors to monitor coolant heater performance. The coolant heater will
shut down whenever a malfunction occurs.
a. The control unit (4) performs a self-test of the electrical circuit prior to starting the coolant
heater.
b. The control unit (4) will automatically repeat the startup sequence if the flame sensor (2)
fails to detect a flame 90 seconds after the fuel metering pump (13) comes on. If the
heater fails to ignite after the second 90-second timer times out, the control unit (4) will
perform a safety shutdown.
c. The control unit (3) will attempt to re-ignite the coolant heater if it fails or flames-out
during operation. If the heater fails to re-ignite after ten seconds or if the heater flames
out again after only three minutes of operation, the control unit (4) will initiate a flame out
shutdown. The coolant heater cannot be restarted until the problem is corrected.
d. Overheating can occur when the coolant flowing through the coolant heater is low,
restricted, or poorly bled. The overheat sensor (9) will most likely detect a temperature
rise in the coolant heater’s heat exchanger. When this occurs, the control unit (4) will
perform an overheat shutdown of the heater. Again, the problem should be corrected
before attempting to re-start the heater.
Change-1 J-7
TM 5-3810-307-24-1-2
e. The coolant heater control unit (4) senses high and low input voltage. The control unit
(4) will initiate a low/high voltage shutdown if the input voltage drops below 20 VDC or
rises above 30 VDC. This type of shutdown typically indicates a problem with the
crane’s batteries and/or it’s charging system.
f. The coolant heater’s electrical connections are protected by a 15A in-line fuse (16),
located in the crane’s battery box at the battery connections, and a second 5A in-line
fuse (19), located in the coolant heater boxed enclosure. The 15A in-line fuse (16)
protects the main 24 VDC input.

Initial Startup/Testing Procedures
NOTE
If the heater fails to start the first time it will automatically attempt a
second start. If unsuccessful the heater will shut down completely.
NOTE
On initial startup the heater may require several start attempts to self
prime the fuel system.
a. Turn on the engine coolant heater manually by pressing the “heater on” pushbutton
on the seven day timer. The fuel line will be full and bled when the fuel delivery is
uniform and bubble-free (after approximately 60 seconds).

Section of this Appendix.
NOTE
After running the diesel engine to bleed the coolant system, the coolant
may still be warm during initial startup/testing. When the coolant heater is
first turned on and only the water pump and combustion air blower are
running, the warm coolant will cause warm air to be exhausted even
though ignition has not yet occurred. When the coolant heater has ignited
the exhaust can be clearly heard coming from the exhaust pipe along with
hot exhaust air.
c. Replace cover (1, Figure J-13) on engine coolant heater boxed enclosure (2) and secure
with two bolts (3).

SYSTEM DESCRIPTION.
General Description (Refer To Figure K-1.)
The Pile Driver System is a sectional tower framework that contains a single-cylinder, diesel engine-
driven impact hammer that pounds pilings (wood, steel H-beam, pre-cast concrete, or sheet pilings),
into the soil to create foundations for buildings, bridges, docks, seawalls, and other structures required
to maintain or support heavy loads. Standard pile lengths may be up to 25-feet (7.6 m) long but the
system is capable of driving up to 40-foot (12.2 m) long piles without splicing.
The impact hammer drives the pilings by projecting a large steel mass (a “piston” or “ram”) upward
through a cylinder until it free-falls back down, striking the top of the piling through a drive system,
there-by driving the piling into the ground. The AT422T All-Terrain Crane (ATEC) is used to assemble,
lift, position, stabilize, and operate the Pile Driver System.
The main Pile Driver System components include the lead tower, spotter, impact hammer, remote
throttle, and accessory components. The Pile Driver System, including the lead tower, spotter, impact
hammer, and all accessories, is housed in a reusable, weather-proof shipping/storage container. The
general weight of the lead tower, spotter, and impact hammer is approximately 9,500 lbs (4,318 kg) (not
including pile adapters). The weight of the shipping/storage container with all components stored inside
is approximately 19,500 lbs (8,864 kg).
Specifications for the Pile Driver System are provided in Tables K-1 through K-4 at the end of this
section.
Shipping/Storage Container
The shipping/storage container is a steel container used to house and transport the Pile Driver System.
It consists of a steel base, with forklift pockets, that is used to secure all the components and a steel
cover that is placed over the components and bolted to the base. A wrench, stored in a bracket on the
outside of the steel cover, can be used to remove the bolts securing the steel cover to the base. Four
lifting lugs are located on top of the steel cover and 1-1/4-inch (3.2 cm) shackles are permanently
attached. Equipment tie-down straps prevent shifting of the components. A spotter storage support
rests on the lead tower sections and provides a base for support of the spotter within the
shipping/storage container.
Weight data is stenciled on the sides of the shipping/storage container.
Lead Tower (Refer To Figure K-1.)
The lead tower holds and allows vertical travel of the impact hammer, connected via four gibs (or
brackets), along rails on the front of the lead tower. The lead tower is a single column, vertical travel
(spud-type) style consisting of three identical 15 feet (4.6 m) sections joined together by removable nuts
and bolts. The total length of the fully assembled lead is 45 feet (13.8 m) but expansion (60 feet (18.4
m)) is possible by adding one additional lead section.
The lead tower is attached to the top of the crane boom by two parallel boom adapter plates and the
lead head adapter that enable vertical suspension of the lead tower. The lead head adapter is
connected to the top of the lead tower by removable nuts and bolts and the boom adapter plates are
connected to the lower boom nose shaft by locking collars. The lead head adapter and boom adapter
plates are then bolted together. Weight, bolt storage location, and impact hammer orientation data is
stenciled on the sides of the lead head adapter.
A foot roller is attached to the bottom lead section to assist in raising and lowering the assembled lead
tower. A pile gate stop, installed in the foot roller, holds the pile gate in position on the lead tower. Two
wheels can be attached to shafts on the foot roller to create a rough-terrain dolly.

A pile gate, able to accommodate up to 18-inch (45.7 cm) diameter piles, is attached to the bottom lead
section to assist in properly aligning the piles during operation. The pile gate consists of a pile gate
frame, swing arm, and latch. Weight data is stenciled on the sides of the pile gate and warning and lift
point location decals are also located on the pile gate.
An impact hammer stop, installed near the top of the lead tower by removable bolts, replaces the anti-
two block function of the Load Moment Indicator (LMI) system for pile driving operations. The impact
hammer stop physically prevents the impact hammer from colliding with the boom nose by limiting its
vertical travel.
NOTE
The anti-two block function of the Load Moment Indicator (LMI) system is
disabled and not used during pile driving operations.
Weight, impact hammer orientation (UP), and center-of-gravity location data is stenciled on the
individual lead tower sections.
Spotter (Refer To Figure K-1.)
The spotter is a hydraulically-operated, adjustable, mechanical link attached to the bottom lead section
and the crane superstructure to provide stability to and control the location and pitch of the lead tower.
The spotter is attached to the bottom lead section via the spotter slide and to mounting lugs on the front
of the crane superstructure via brackets and two support pins. The hydraulic connections are provided
by the boom hose reel on the crane and connected to two hydraulic connections (spotter manifold)
located on the right-hand side of the spotter base (at crane superstructure mounting bracket). A
hydraulic hose retention chain, attached to the base of the spotter, is used to secure the hydraulic hose
reel lines. The spotter is extended and retracted by the telescope/clamshell control pedal in the
superstructure cab (when the TELE/CLAMSHELL selector switch is in the CLAMSHELL position).
The spotter consists of two telescoping inner and outer boxes with short and long wear pads on each, a
hydraulic cylinder (3-inch (7.6 cm) diameter x 96-inch (2.4 m) stroke), and spotter slide.
The spotter slide, connected to rails on the rear of the lead tower, allows vertical adjustment of the
spotter connection to the lead tower. A pin on the spotter slide engages holes on the rear of the lead
tower to hold the spotter slide in place along the rails. A manual release on the spotter slide can be
operated by a tag line and enables the pin to be disengaged to allow vertical movement of the spotter
slide along the rails. A retainer pin can be used to hold the manual release (and spotter slide pin) in the
disengaged position during height adjustment. Two lubrication fittings, located on each side of the
spotter slide, enable lubrication of the spotter slide.
Warning and weight data is stenciled on top of the spotter. Warning, lubrication location, and lift point
location decals are located on the spotter. In addition, a decal illustrating crane signals and additional
pile driving hand signals is attached to the left-hand side of the spotter.
Impact Hammer (Refer To Figures K-2, K-3, K-4.)
The impact hammer is a self-contained, diesel engine-driven, direct drive-type pile driving hammer
operating on compression/ignition, two-cycle operation. The impact hammer utilizes an air-activated,
high pressure fuel injection system with a fuel tank and air-activated, pressurized lubrication system
with attached oil tank. Startup of the impact hammer is controlled by an integrated hammer trip system
with trip safety lock.
The main components of the impact hammer are the piston and impact block, upper and lower
cylinders, hammer trip assembly (mechanical starting device), fuel injection system, lubrication system,
and direct drive system that houses a recoil dampening system and striker plate (driving head).

Impact Block
The piston is a free piston that provides the impact energy delivered to the pile. The impact block is
located at the bottom of the lower cylinder and relays the energy from the piston to the pile via the
direct drive assembly. Piston compression rings and impact block compression rings are installed to
assist in compression and to prevent exhaust gases from entering the upper cylinder and escaping
from the bottom of the lower cylinder.
The upper and lower cylinders are porous-chrome-lined and bolted together to form one cylinder that
enclose the piston and impact block. An o-ring, installed between the upper and lower cylinders,
provides an air-tight seal.
The upper cylinder contains the catch ring cap, fuel tank, and hammer trip system. Lifting lugs are
located on the front of the upper cylinder. A red-colored piston transportation pin, normally housed in
the tool box, can be installed in the top part of the upper cylinder to secure the piston for
shipping/transportation purposes. A red-colored weather cap with securing strap, normally housed in
the tool box, can be installed on the catch ring cap of the upper cylinder to keep out moisture and
foreign objects.
The lower cylinder contains the four upper and lower gibs, intake/exhaust port, cooling fins, fuel
injection system, fuel system guard, oil lubrication system, and lubricating oil tank. The lower cylinder
also contains the internal combustion chamber that is created by the ring-shaped area on the nose of
the piston and the cylinder walls. A cushion housing guide ring and cushion housing guide ring support
are located in the bottom of the lower cylinder. A red-colored weather cap, normally housed in the tool
box, can be installed on the intake/exhaust port to keep out moisture and foreign objects.
The hammer trip system consists of the hammer trip assembly, hammer trip track rails, trip disengage
lug, trip safety lever and trip engage lug, trip safety lever cord, and trip transport bolt. The hammer trip
assembly, sliding along the hammer trip track rails and hoisted up and down by the hammer line (main
hoist) of the crane, contains a trip mechanism that is used to start the impact hammer by raising and
automatically releasing the piston at a predetermined height. The trip mechanism of the hammer trip
assembly consists of a lifting pawl, lever and shaft, connecting links, stop pin, and cam mounted in a
housing and backplate. The trip engage lug, located on the trip safety lever in the lower portion of the
upper cylinder, engages the trip mechanism in the hammer trip assembly when it is lowered to allow
lifting of the piston. The trip disengage lug, located at the top of a slot in the upper cylinder and part of
the upper cylinder, activates the trip mechanism and causes the piston to be released when the
hammer trip assembly is raised to the predetermined height. The red-colored trip transport bolt,
normally housed in the tool box, can be installed in the hammer trip assembly to secure the hammer
trip assembly to the hammer trip track rails for shipping/transportation purposes.
The trip safety lever is used by ground personnel to engage the trip engage lug to allow the hammer
line (main hoist) to raise the hammer trip assembly (and piston) in order to start the impact hammer.
The trip safety lever cord, attached to the trip safety lever, is used to control the position of the trip
safety lever. When in the normal position (trip safety lever cord not pulled), the trip safety lever locks
out the hammer trip assembly allowing the hammer line (main hoist) to raise and lower the entire
impact hammer.
The direct drive system transfers the driving energy developed by the piston and impact block in the
lower cylinder to the pile being driven. This is provided by the direct drive assembly connected to the
bottom of the lower cylinder that houses a recoil dampening system and striker plate (driving head).
The direct drive assembly consists of the upper and lower drive housings and is capable of driving up to
18-inch (45.7 cm) piles. Lifting lugs and adapter holes (used to secure the square (concrete) and sheet
pile adapters) are provided at the top of the direct drive assembly. A blow count recorder and waste
fuel drip tank are also installed at the top of the direct drive assembly.

TM 5-3810-307-24-1-2
The upper drive housing, bolted to the bottom of the lower cylinder, contains the recoil dampening
system. The recoil dampening system consists of six cushion rings and the cushion compression ring
secured in the cushion housing by the cushion housing retainer plate. A cushion shim ring can be
installed in between the lower cushion ring and the cushion compression ring in order to give a 1/8-inch
(3.175 mm) cushion ring stack preload.
The lower drive housing, bolted to the bottom of the upper drive housing, is used to hold the piles in
place under the impact hammer during operation. It consists of a bell housing that contains the striker
plate and an 18-inch (45.7 cm) guide plate is bolted onto the bottom of the bell housing. A striker plate
cushion ring protects the bottom of the bell housing from damage caused by the striker plate.
The fuel injection system consists of a fuel tank, fuel tank fill line and quick connect fitting, two fuel tank
suction strainers, fuel pump, two fuel injectors, throttle valve (needle block), fuel filter assembly, fuel
pump feed inline filter, fuel return inline filter, fuel pump feed shutoff valve, fuel return shutoff valve, and
associated lines and fittings.
The fuel tank, located on the side of the upper cylinder, provides fuel via gravity feed to the fuel pump
located on the front of the lower cylinder. The in-tank suction strainers, located inside the fuel tank,
filter the fuel prior to being delivered to and returned from the system. Two fuel tank plug/vent valves,
located on top of the fuel tank, are used to vent the system during impact hammer operation.
The fuel tank is filled from the ground by connecting the quick connect fitting on the ground fueling hand
pump to the fuel tank fill line and quick connect fitting located at the bottom of the lower cylinder and
using the hand pump to pump fuel from an external JP-8 or No. 2 diesel fuel source to the fuel tank on
the impact hammer. If the external fuel source has its own pump, it can be connected directly to the
fuel tank fill line and quick connect fitting located at the bottom of the lower cylinder and the ground
fueling hand pump need not be used. The fuel tank fill line and quick connect fitting on the impact
hammer is identified by a red-colored “FUEL” label. In the absence of the ground fueling hand pump,
the fuel tank can be filled manually by removing the fuel tank plug/vent valves.
The fuel pump, located on the front of the lower cylinder behind the fuel system guard, is an air-
activated, single plunger-type pump that pressurizes and pumps the fuel to the fuel injectors. Inlet and
outlet check valves on the fuel pump prevent fuel from flowing in a reverse direction.
The fuel injectors, located on each side of the lower cylinder, inject atomized fuel into the combustion
chamber to initiate combustion.
The throttle valve (needle block), located on the front of the lower cylinder behind the fuel system
guard, controls the stroke rate (blows per minute) by regulating the amount of fuel returned to the fuel
tank. The throttle valve (needle block) is hydraulically-controlled by the remote throttle.
The fuel pump feed inline filter and fuel return inline filters, located behind the fuel system guard, filter
the fuel delivered to the fuel pump and returned to the fuel tank respectively. The fuel pump feed
shutoff and fuel return shutoff valves, also located behind the fuel system guard, are used to turn off the
fuel supply in their respective lines.
The fuel filter assembly, mounted on the side of the lubricating oil tank on the lower cylinder, is a housing
that contains a fuel filter element. The fuel filter assembly is downstream from the fuel pump feed inline
filter and further filters the fuel being delivered to the fuel pump.
A waste fuel drip tank receives waste fuel and oil from the fuel injectors and oil pump. A quick connect
fitting allows periodic draining of the waste fuel drip tank. The waste fuel drip tank vent valve, located
on top of the tank, is used to vent the system during impact hammer operation.
The lubrication system provides lubricating oil to the lower cylinder and piston during operation. The
system consists of the lubricating oil tank, oil tank fill line and quick connect fitting, oil pump, oil pump
feed shutoff valve, oil pump inline priming pump, and associated lines and fittings.
K-12 Change-1
TM 5-3810-307-24-1-2
The lubricating oil tank, located on the front of the upper cylinder, provides lubricating oil via gravity
feed to the oil pump located on the rear of the lower cylinder. The in-tank suction strainer, located
inside the lubricating oil tank, filters the oil prior to being delivered to the system. An oil tank plug/vent
valve, located on top of the lubricating oil tank, is used to vent the system during impact hammer
operation.
The lubricating oil tank is filled from the ground by connecting the hose and quick connect fitting to the
ground oiling hand pump, placing the oiling hand pump container cover on an oil container filled with
MIL-L-2104 15W40 oil, and installing the ground oiling hand pump in the container cover. Then
connect the quick connect fitting on the ground oiling hand pump to the oil tank fill line and quick
connect fitting located at the bottom of the lower cylinder and manually pump oil to the lubricating oil
tank on the impact hammer. The oil tank fill line and quick connect fitting are identified by a yellow-
colored “OIL” label. In the absence of the ground oiling hand pump, the lubricating oil tank can also be
filled manually by removing the oil tank plug/vent valve. For temperatures below -20.0º F (-29º C),
arctic-grade MIL-L-46167 0W40 oil should be used.
The oil pump is an air-activated, single plunger-type pump that pumps the lubricating oil to the lower
cylinder via an oil line and fitting. Inlet and outlet check valves on the oil pump prevent oil from flowing
in a reverse direction.
The oil pump feed shutoff valve is used to turn off the oil feed to the oil pump from the lubricating oil
tank. The oil pump inline priming pump is used to prime the system for initial startup.
The impact hammer is equipped with a battery-powered blow count recorder located at the top of the
direct drive assembly. The blow count recorder is an indicator that provides the operator with a running
count of blows delivered. The blow count recorder and battery pack are protected by a foam cushion
insert and housed in a weather-proof housing with a viewing window. The internal battery pack is
designed to last for two years.
The impact hammer is equipped with a fitting for an optional velocity sensor located on the lower part of
the upper cylinder, directly below the fuel tank. A velocity sensor cover plate is installed over the fitting.
The impact hammer has several major data and safety plates and decals. The Identification Plate,
located on the top side of the direct drive assembly, specifies the name of the manufacturer, model
number, National Stock Number, USA Registration Number, manufacture date, contract number,
weight, and serial number. The Identification Bar Code Plate, located on the side of the fuel tank and
readable by a hand-held scanner, provides comprehensive information about the impact hammer. “HOT
AREA” warning and “LIFT POINT” location plates are located at the cooling fins and upper/lower
cylinder lifting lugs respectively. Safety and hard hat warning decals are located on the side of the
direct drive assembly. “PINCH POINT” warning decals are located at the upper and lower gibs.
Remote Throttle (Refer To Figure K-5.)
The remote throttle provides remote speed control and shutdown of the impact hammer diesel engine.
The remote throttle can be installed in the superstructure cab if desired.
The remote throttle is a hydraulically-operated, bypass device that controls the stroke rate of the impact
hammer by controlling the amount of fuel delivered to the fuel injectors by the fuel pump. It consists of
a hydraulic reservoir and pump, a movable handle, pressure relief valve, pressure gauge, 70-foot (18
m) hydraulic hose, and associated fittings. The remote throttle is filled via a fill plug and utilizes
automatic transmission fluid Dexron II/III or equivalent. A pressure relief valve is used to reduce remote
throttle pressure in order to adjust the stroke rate or to remove remote throttle pressure (0 psi) in order
to shut-down impact hammer operation.
Change-1 K-13
TM 5-3810-307-24-1-2
The hydraulic hose is connected to the remote throttle via a quick connect fitting and is routed to the
lower cylinder section of the impact hammer. The hydraulic hose is connected to the throttle valve whip
line of the throttle valve (needle block) that is identified by a “THROTTLE CONNECTION” label. The
pulley with 15-inch (38 cm) anchor bungee, normally stored in the toolboxes, can be attached to the
hydraulic hose reel on the crane boom to ensure the hydraulic hose is kept out of the way during pile
driving operations by holding a rope tied to the hydraulic hose.

THEORY OF OPERATION
Impact Hammer - General Operation (Refer To Figure K-6.)
There are five stages of operation for the impact hammer. To start the impact hammer, the hammer
line (main hoist) of the crane is used to lift the hammer trip assembly, which raises the piston to a
predetermined height. The hammer trip assembly then releases the piston, allowing it to free-fall in the
cylinder. After initial start-up, the following sequence occurs:
1. Purge. The piston falls under the force of gravity and accelerates downward. As the piston
falls, the air and/or gases in the cylinder are expelled through the intake/exhaust ports.
2. Compression. When the piston reaches the intake/exhaust port, the port is closed,
compressing the air in the lower cylinder.
3. Combustion. As the piston nears the end of its downstroke a combustion chamber is
created by the ring-shaped nose of the piston and the lower cylinder. The fuel pump,
connected to the combustion chamber, amplifies the gas pressure compressed beneath
the piston and delivers high pressure fuel to the fuel injectors. Just before the piston
strikes the impact block, the fuel pressure overcomes the opening pressure of the fuel
injectors, injecting atomized fuel into the combustion chamber. The fuel ignites (due to
high compression temperatures) and the piston strikes the impact block, transferring its
kinetic energy to the direct drive assembly. The combustion force drives the piston
upward and the impact block further downward.
4. Exhaust. As the piston rises in the cylinder and passes the intake/exhaust port, the port
is opened, allowing the exhaust gases to escape.
5. Intake. As the piston continues rising, fresh air is drawn into the lower cylinder via the
intake/exhaust port. Under the force of gravity, the piston decelerates on the upward
stroke until completely stopping at the top of the stroke. The piston then begins to fall,
starting the five-stage cycle again. The fuel pump recharges and the cycle is repeated
until the fuel supply is interrupted.
K-18 Change-1
TM 5-3810-307-24-1-2
1. With the trip safety lever cord (attached to the trip safety lever) pulled and held in place
by ground personnel, the trip engage lug is engaged. The hammer trip assembly is then
lowered by the crane operator, via the hammer line (main hoist) of the crane, along the
hammer trip track rails. The lifting pawl is in the vertical disengaged position.
2. As the hammer trip assembly is lowered, the cam attached to the lever and shaft
encounters the trip engage lug mounted at the bottom of the upper cylinder. The trip
engage lug pushes the cam (and lever and shaft) upward, rotating the lifting pawl
towards the horizontal, engaged position via the connecting links.
3. The hammer trip assembly is raised by the hammer line (main hoist). The lifting pawl is
in the horizontal engaged position. The connecting links have passed “over-center” and
rest against the stop pin. The leaf spring assists in rotating the connecting links over-
center and retaining them in position. As the lifting pawl engages the lifting collar on the
piston, the piston is lifted and the connecting links bear against the stop pin.
4. The crane operator continues raising the hammer trip assembly, via the hammer line
(main hoist), until the lever and shaft encounters the trip disengage lug. The connecting
links will rotate away from the over-center position and the stop pin, causing the lifting
pawl to rotate to the vertical disengaged position. The piston falls freely.
NOTE
The crane operator must cease hoisting the hammer trip assembly as
soon as the piston falls.
The normal position of the trip safety lever is used to lock out the hammer trip assembly in order to use
the hammer line (main hoist) to raise and lower the entire impact hammer. The trip safety lever is held
in its normal position by a spring (when the trip safety lever cord is not pulled) and maintains the trip
engage lug in the disengaged position. The trip disengage lug is out of alignment with the hammer trip
assembly and will not engage with the cam attached to the lever and shaft.
The trip safety lever is used to engage the trip engage lug to allow the hammer line (main hoist) to raise
the hammer trip assembly (and piston) in order to start the impact hammer. This is accomplished by
pulling and holding the trip safety lever cord attached to the trip safety lever. This will rotate the trip
engage lug into position in order to engage with the cam attached to the lever and shaft of the hammer
trip assembly when lowered.
Rotating the lever and shaft with a wrench can manually disengage the hammer trip assembly.

Fuel injection occurs one millisecond before the piston strikes the impact block. The instant one of the
fuel injectors opens, the combustion process begins. The combustion of diesel fuel and air produces a
rapid increase in the cylinder pressure, which is transmitted to the fuel pump where the fuel pressure
will increase to approximately twice the opening pressure of the fuel injectors. The rapid increase in
fuel pressure ensures that both fuel injectors deactivate within the same initial millisecond.
Fuel injection lasts for some five milliseconds and produces peak combustion pressure for ten
milliseconds. Fuel injection continues until the air piston in the fuel pump reaches the end of its stroke.
During the upward impact hammer piston stroke, the lower cylinder intake/exhaust ports open, relieving
the cylinder pressure acting upon the fuel pump. The fuel plunger spring returns the fuel plunger and
air piston to their original positions. As the fuel plunger retracts, the outlet check valve closes and the
inlet check valve opens, refilling the fuel pump for the next cycle.
The remote throttle controls how much fuel pump output is transferred to the fuel injectors by controlling
how much fuel is returned to the fuel tank via the return line. This controls the stroke rate (blows per
minute) of the impact hammer operation. During fuel injection the throttle valve (needle block) allows a
very small amount of fuel to return to the fuel tank. The throttle valve (needle block) is hydraulically-
controlled by the remote throttle to vary the amount of fuel returned to the fuel tank. When the remote
throttle is placed in the off position (no pressure), the throttle valve (needle block) is completely open
and all of the fuel can return to the fuel tank before high pressures develop.

1. At the bottom of the piston downstroke, the nose of the piston strikes the top of the
impact block in the lower cylinder.
2. The impact block moves unimpeded and strikes the top of the striker plate in the direct
drive assembly, transferring the impact energy from the impact block to the striker plate.
3. The impact energy from the striker plate is then delivered to the pile being driven by the
striker plate. The striker plate evenly distributes and transfers the impact energy to the
pile head to minimize mushrooming/splitting of the piling.
5. The recoil dampening system, consisting of the six cushion rings and cushion
compression ring in the direct drive assembly, dissipates the rebound energy to allow up
to 95% of the impact energy to be transmitted to the pile and only 5% of the rebound
energy back to the impact hammer.
