Service Manual

I - 2004

THIS ALERT SYMBOL SIGNALS IMPORTANT MESSAGES INVOLVING YOUR SAFETY.

Read and heed carefully the safety instructions listed and follow the precautions recommended to avoid
potential risks and to safeguard your health and your safety.

You will find this symbol in the text of this Manual referred to the following key words:

WARNING - Cautions directed to avoid improper repair interventions involving potential consequences
for the operator’s safety.

DANGER - These warnings qualify specifically potential dangers for the safety of the operator or other
persons directly or indirectly involved.

IMPORTANT NOTICE

All maintenance and repair interventions explained in this Manual must be performed exclusively by the Service
Organization of the Manufacturer, observing strictly the instructions explained using, whenever necessary, the
recommended specific tools.
Whoever performs the operations reported without following exactly the precautions is responsible on his own,
for the damages that may result.

Neither the Factory nor any Organizations in its Distribution Network, including but not limited to national,
regional or local distributors, are responsible for any liability arising from any damage resulting from defects
caused by parts and/or components not approved by the Factory for use in maintaining and/or repairing products
manufactured or merchandized by the Factory.
In any case, no warranty of any kind is made or shall be imposed with respect to products manufactured or
merchandized by the Factory, when failures are caused by the use of parts and/or components not approved
by the Factory.
AVOID ACCIDENTS

Most accidents and injuries occurring in industry, on the


farm, at home or on the road, are caused by the failure
of some individual to follow simple and fundamental
safety rules or precautions. For this reason, MOST
ACCIDENTS CAN BE PREVENTED by recognizing
the real cause and taking the necessary precautions,
before the accident occurs.
Regardless of the care used in design and construction
of any type of equipment, there may be conditions that
cannot be completely safeguarded against without
interfering with reasonable accessibility and efficient
operation.
A careful operator is the best insurance against
accidents. The complete observance of one simple rule
would prevent many thousands serious injuries each
year.
This rule is: Never attempt to clean, lubricate or adjust
a machine while it is in motion.

WARNING

On machines having hydraulically, mechanically


and/or cable controlled equipment (such as
showels, loaders, dozers, scrapers etc.) be certain
the equipment is lowered to the ground before
servicing, adjusting and/or repairing.
If it is necessary to have the equipment partially or
fully raised to gain access to certain items, be sure
the equipment is suitably supported by means
other than the hydraulic lift cylinders, cable and/or
mechanical device used for controlling the
equipment.

Power train
The engine power is transmitted through the engine
flywheel, the disc joint or the coupling gear, the front
cover, the pump wheel, the turbine and the transmis-
sion.

Oil flow (see fig. 2.4 )


The oil of the torque converter coming from the trans-
mission control valve enters the torque converter
wheel through the duct in the stator support.
As soon as the engine starts, the pump wheel ro-
tates, throwing oil from the vanes of the blades of the
wheel (under the effect of centrifugal force), towards
the vanes of the turbine wheel blades. The oil flow
hits the turbine with an angle such that, in turn, the
turbine shafts rotates. The reaction torque produced
by the oil flow which hits the turbine blades, repre-
sents the output torque provided by the turbine shaft.
The stator diverts the oil flow coming from the turbine
vanes, directing it into the pump vanes, thus creating
an increase of the torque.
Part of the oil contained by the torque converter wheel
is directed into the heat exchanger through the appro-
priate duct in the stator support. In correspondence
with the oil inlet into the torque converter, a safety
valve is mounted, which discharges excess oil into
the torque converter housing.

4. After the FORW./REV. selector spool movement,


the oil from circuit (12) can reach circuit (21) where
the FORW. clutch is located. During the oil filling
of the FORW. clutch piston chamber, a pressure
differential is created between the circuits (6 for
modulating valve, 22 for the left side-flow valve)
upstream, and the downstream circuits (8 of
gearshifting selection spool A, 9 for the right side-
flow valve, 12 for FORW./REV. selection spool),

Engagement of clutches - 1st speed Forward


(Point C of Figure)

1. When the clutches selected have been filled with


oil, the pressure differential before and after orifi-
ce [W] is eliminated, thus the plunger of the flow
valve moves leftward, as shown in the figure, pu-
shed by the spring, thus closing the oil discharge.
The oil in circuit (23) flows through the axial hole
of spool A, enters circuit (24), then goes through
orifice [X] and enters chamber (20) of the accu-
mulator.

2. At the same time, the oil flows through the gaps


(5, 6) of the modulating valve and the holes in the
plunger of the valve itself, moving into chamber
(7) behind the plunger. Consequently, the plunger
of the modulating valve moves gradually leftward
for the combined effect of the oil pressure in
chamber (25) and the spring, increasing gradually
the engagement pressure of the clutch.

3. When the clutch engagement pressure reaches the


pre-established value, the load plunger in chamber
(20) of the accumulator stops against the rod.

At the same time, the pressure increases also in

ases the accelerator, the transmission keeps the speed
engaged, without allowing the shifting into higher spe-
eds.
In the event the speed of the machine results to be
too high, it is possible to slow-down further, without
using the brakes, with the function described below.

to the converter pump wheel.
A two-section, monobloc type control valve receives
the oil from the pump, setting the system pressure
through a main pressure relief valve set at 206 bar.
The control valve, as already stated is a two section
series type feeding two circuits: bucket roll back/dump
and boom raising and lowering.
Each one of these two circuits is equipped with safety
and anti-cavitation valves, preventing dangerous
pressure peaks that could occur in the pipes and
cylinders. Each section is equipped with a spool,
hydraulically piloted by a power assisted pilot valve;
the control valve control circuit operates at a pressure
of about 30 bar (435 psi) and it is connected with the
brakes circuit. The pilot valve can be hydraulically cut-
off by a three-way diverter valve (stop valve), so that
the accidental actuation of the levers, causing possible
undesired reactions by the equipment, is prevented.
The equipment control valve is connected with the
steering circuit. The excess oil arriving from the
steering pump is sent, with steering in neutral, to the
equipment circuit through a priority valve.
The circuit includes also, as an optional, a stress
reducing device when the machine is travelling on
rough terrain with a full bucket, the device is called
L.T.S. (Load Travel Stabiliser).
It is known, in fact, that during the travel of the
machine on rough terrain, the load of materials causes
a troublesome pitching of the unit, reflecting on the
stability of the machine itself, of the load and on the
operator’s comfort.
In this case, a big hydraulic accumulator, pre-loaded
with nitrogen and capable of absorbing the dynamic
loads, is connected through a block of valves with
the boom cylinders.

After cleaning each individual item, inspect all the parts
of the pump. a

1) Gear plate
One of the methods to obtain a better volumetric
efficiency of a gear pump is the design allowing
the end of the teeth to stay in contact with the
inner wall of the chamber containing the gear itself.
Consequently, once the pump starts running, marks
left by the gear teeth are shown around the suction
port (fig. 6-5).
The contact mark is normal as long as it is less
than 1/2 the inner circumference of the gear cavity.
Dimension a of the mark depth (fig. 6-6) is normal
if it as about 0.05 mm (0.0019 in). When dimension
a exceeds 0.15 mm (0.0059 in) also the shaft and
bearings can wear out. Thus, these items as well, Contact mark
must be thoroughly checked.
If a is ≥ 0.15 mm (0.0059 in), replace the pump
with a new one. Fig. 6-6 Dimension of mark depth

6.3.1 GENERAL DESCRIPTION

The equipment control valve is a 2 spools monobloc


type.
The internal oil passages are of the series type so
that the bucket function has the priority on the boom
function. The pressure oil therefore reaches the boom
outlet port only when the bucket spool is in neutral
position.
The control valve is hydraulically actuated by means
of a pilot valve located in the cab; it is equipped with a
main pressure relief valve and three safety and
anticavitation valves.
When the pressure in the system exceeds the value
of 206 bar, the main pressure relief valve discharges
oil to protect cylinders and pipes.
The safety and anti-cavitation valves protect the
relevant circuits from sudden pressure peaks due to
mechanical loads on the equipment capable of causing
a pressure increase beyond the pre-set value, and they
are mounted on the single spools of the control valve.

6.4.4 DECRIPTION OF OPERATION

Piloting device with stroke-end detent.


The pilot valve operates as a direct control pressure
reduction valve.
It includes, essentially, control lever (1), four pres-
sure reduction valves, body (6) and stops. Each pres-
sure reduction valve is composed of control spool (2)
actuating spring (3) reaction spring (4) plunger (5). In
rest condition, control lever (1) is held in neutral posi-
tion by reaction springs (4). Ports (1, 2, 3, 4) are con-
nected to tank port T through duct (8). When control
lever (1) is pulled, pusher group (5) is moved against
reaction spring (4) and actuating spring (3). Actuating
spring (3), at first, moves control spool (2) downward
and closes the connection between the relevant port
and tank port T. At the same time, the relevant port is
connected to port P through duct (8). The control phase
begins as soon as spool (2) balancing between the
force of actuating spring (3) and the force resulting Electro-magnetic
from the hydraulic pressure in the relevant ports 1, 2, lock
3, 4. Due to the interaction between actuating spool
(2) and actuating spring (3) the pressure in the rel-
evant ports is proportional to the stroke of pusher
group (5) thus to the position of control lever (1).
This controls allows the proportional hydraulic actua-
tion of the equipment control valve.
Rubber boot (9) protects the mechanical components
from contamination, thus these piloting units are suit-
able also under the most unfavourable operating con-
ditions.

Stroke-end detent
Only the ports requiring a stroke-end detent of the
control lever are equipped with this device.

Solenoid block
An additional spring (7) under plate (12)warns by in-
creasing the force required to press this spring, that
the stroke of pusher group (5) and control lever (1) is
nearing its limit. Once this limit is reached, ring (10) is
touching solenoid armature (11). If the solenoid is
energised, control lever (1) is held in this position by
the magnetic force. The block is released automati-
cally, once the solenoid is de-energised.

Disassembly Preparing the replacement glass

1. Push a pointed object through the adhesive from 1. Place the glass momentarily in position and mark
inside the cab and insert the wire. with adhesive tape to position it correctly during
final bonding.
2. Using the wire, cut the adhesive all around the
glass. Lift out the glass using two suction cups.

3. Using a knife, cut off the adhesive left on the body


to leave a smooth bevel of approximately 1 or 2
mm, which should be kept clean as it will be the
bonding base for the polyurethane adhesive. Should
the paint be partially damaged, apply some glass
primer as a protection against corrosion.

Note — Work only in well ventilated premises. The


polyurethane adhesive does not contain low molecu-
lar weight (monomolecular) volatile isocyanates. There-
fore, there is no danger of irritation for the respiratory
tract. However, all precautions required when using
chemicals should be observed. Avoid contact with
the eyes and skin.

2. Thoroughly clean the glass edge using the special


cloth moistened in the degreaser supplied.

Important — After degreasing, wipe the degreased


part using a clean dry cloth.

WARNING
1. Position the glass in its seat slightly pressing it. Any variation to instructions specified, such as
use of materials after expire date or improper work
procedures, may negatively affect the results of
the operation. The manufacturer does not assume
any responsibility for damages which may derive
to persons and/or things.

Fig. 8-20

Note — The glass must be fitted to the machine within


maximum 15 minutes after applying the BETASEAL
sealant-adhesive.

Note — Work only in well ventilated premises. The


polyurethane adhesive does not contain low molecu-
lar weight (monomolecular) volatile isocyanates. There-
fore, there is no danger of irritation for the respiratory
tract. However, all precautions required when using
chemicals should be observed. Avoid contact with
the eyes and skin.

Note — The BETASEAL sealant-adhesive hardens


with air moisture. Hardening depends upon ambient
humidity and relative penetration degree. Therefore,
machine downtime ranges from 2 to 3 hours at a tem-
perature of 23°C (73 °F). During this period the ma-
chine should not be submitted to any stress what-
ever.

8.6 AIR CONDITIONING UNIT

8.6.1 OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

The operation principle can be summarised as follows: the refrigerant, Freon R134a, in its gaseous state, is
sucked by the compressor at low pressure and forwarded to final compression. The gas, heated by the compres-
sion, flows, still in a gaseous state, into the condenser, where, under the effect of the cooling provided by the air
flow through the action of the fan, reaches the condensation point, passing into a high pressure liquid state.
Consequently, the refrigerant at liquid state, reaches the dehydration filter that has the function of trapping
impurities, absorbing moisture trapped by the system and operates as a reserve tank for the refrigerant. Then, the
Freon reaches the expansion thermostatic valve that has the purpose of regulating the refrigerant flow in the low
pressure evaporator, causing the passage from liquid to gaseous state. At the same time, the air passing through
the evaporator, under the effect of the fan, at a temperature exceeding the refrigerator contained in the evaporator
itself, causes its boiling and a full evaporation, releasing heat. Cooled air, deposits on the fins of the evaporator
part of its moisture content, under the form of small droplets, dropping into the containers and unloaded outside
the cab.
Cooled and dehumidified air is directed to the cab. The refrigerant, at the evaporator outlet, is sucked again by the
compressor, re-staring the cycle.
