B. Components/Systems

1. Chassis

The chassis is fabricated of formed steel plates that are then welded in a fixture to assure parts interchange ability. The entire assembly is then cleaned, primed, and painted.

2. Front Steer Axle

The front steer axle is cast as a solid beam to prevent fabrication joints. To this beam areattached the spindles, leaf springs, and steering cylinder.

FRONT STEER AXLE / SUSPENSION FIGURE 1-2-2

3. Front Suspension

Leaf springs are used to supply ride control and support to the front of the tractor. These springs are angled to permit wheel clearance in tight turn situations. This produces a good ride, excellent stability, and minimal maintenance.

4. Front Brakes The front brakes are disc type with actuation supplied by 1/2 of the master cylinder. 5. Steering System

The steering consists of a hydraulic pump on the engine, rotary valve (attached to the steering wheel), hydraulic hoses, and a steering cylinder (attached to the front axle). As the steering wheel is turned, pressurized fluid from the pump is metered by the rotary valve in small increments to the steering cylinder, which turns the front wheels. To assure steering in emergency situations, the rotary valve will move fluid without the pump; however greater force is required from the operator to turn the steering wheel.

6. Rear Axle

The rear axle is designed for this particular unit and permits the engine/transmission to deliver driving force through a drive shaft.

13. Drive Shaft The drive shaft utilizes two universal joints and a sliding spindle coupling to deliver effective and quiet power transfer between the transmission and drive axle.

14. Fuel System The fuel system consists of the fuel tank, connecting lines, filter, pump, and regulator. The fuel tank is constructed of aluminized steel with welded seams and is pressure tested to ensure safe operation.

15. Electrical System Electrical power is supplied by a 12 bolt battery and a belt driven alternator mounted to the engine. The system is a 12 volt direct current with negative ground.

16. Lighting Circuit

All lights are controlled from the operator console and use standard 12 volt automotive bulbs. The complement of lights and related accessories depends on the requirements of the application.

3. Tractor Towing Procedure (Disabled Vehicle)

a. Set the parking brake of the disabled unit by pulling the parking brake lever to the up

position. b. Couple the towing vehicle securely to the disabled unit.

c. Ensure that the directions shift lever is in the neutral position. d. Release the parking brake of the disabled unit and begin towing the unit. e. Once the destination is reached, stop both vehicles and set the parking brake on the

disabled unit before removing the towing device. The disabled unit should be chocked in both directions at all four (4) wheels for additional stability.

WARNING ALWAYS BE SURE THAT NO ONE IS IN BETWEEN THE TOWING VEHICLE AND THE DISABLED VEHICLE.

IF THE FRONT WHEEL OF THE DISABLED VEHICLE IS IN CONTACT WITH THE GROUND THE DISABLED VEHICLE WILL HAVE TO BE STEERED.

IF TOWING WITH THE REAR WHEELS LIFTED, DO NOT USE THE REAR HITCH AS THE LIFTING POINT AS THIS WILL CAUSE THE TRACTOR TO TILT AND POSSIBLY OVERTURN.

WARNING FAILURE TO SET THE PARKING BRAKE ON THE DISABLED UNIT BEFORE REMOVING THE TOWING DEVICE COULD ALLOW THE DISABLED UNIT TO ROLL AWAY UNCONTROLLED.

WARNING IT IS NOT POSSIBLE WITHIN THE SCOPE OF THIS GUIDE, TO ANTICIPATE ALL POSSIBLE ARRANGEMENTS FOR TOWING A DISABLED UNIT. BEFORE ATTEMPTING TO TOW ANY VEHICLE, YOU MUST TAKE ALL POSSIBLE PRECAUTIONS TO PROTECT THE OPERATORS AND ANYONE AROUND BOTH VEHICLES FROM BEING INJURED BY EITHER THE TOWING VEHICLE, TOWING DEVICES OR THE VEHICLE BEING TOWED. THE PRIMARY TOWING DEVICE BEING USED (CABLES, BARS, ETC.) AND THE TOWING VEHICLE MUST BE STRONG AND HEAVY ENOUGH TO MAINTAIN CONTROL OF BOTH VEHICLES THROUGH ALL CONDITIONS TO BE ENCOUNTERED AT ALL TIMES. SAFETY CHAINS OR OTHER SAFETY DEVICES MUST BE USED IN CASE OF FAILURE OF THE PRIMARY TOWING DEVICE. ALL OPERATORS MUST BE ALERT AT ALL TIMES TO PREVENT EITHER UNIT FROM “RUNNING AWAY” OR RUNNING OUT OF CONTROL DURING TOWING. THE VEHICLE TO BE TOWED MUST BE SECURELY COUPLED TO THE TOWING VEHICLE BEFORE THE PARKING BRAKE IS RELEASED ON THE DISABLED UNIT. THE OPERATOR OF THE TOWING VEHICLE MUST BE IN PLACE IN THE TOWING VEHICLE WITH THE BRAKES APPLIED BEFORE THE BRAKES OF THE DISABLED VEHICLE ARE RELEASED.

4. Trailer Towing Procedure

Trailers are used in many configurations. The operator must be familiar with the style used in his work area.

Two basic steering systems are found on these trailers, two wheel steer and four wheel steer.

On the two wheel steer unit the front axle pivots in the center and is part of the tow bar. This system produces rear end swing (the corners of the trailers fill an area wider than the trailer when turning).

ON THE FOUR WHEEL STEER TRAILERS THE FRONT AND REAR AXLES PIVOT ON TURNTABLES THAT ARE CONNECTED DIAGONALLY SO THAT THE WHEELS TURN IN OPPOSITE DIRECTIONS. THIS PERMITS THE TRAILER TO TRACK AND PREVENTS REAR END SWING WHEN TURNING.

CAUTION WHEN DRIVING, THE OPERATOR MUST REMAIN AWARE OF THIS EXTRA WIDTH WHILE MOVING AMONG OBSTACLES.

CAUTION THE OPERATOR MUST BECOME AWARE OF THE PARKING BRAKE SYSTEM USED ON THE TRAILERS IN HIS WORK AREA.

e. Once the test switch is activated the sequence will start, with the engine light flashing the code three times in a row. The default code will be the first sequence displayed: 1-6-5-4. This code will be flashed out three (3) times in a row. If 1-6-5-4 is the only code that the engine light flashes, there are no fault codes present. If there are fault codes present, the three (3) or (4) digit fault codes will be flashed out after the default code. Once all of the faults have been flashed; 1-6-5-4 will be flashed again and the sequence will start again.
