TICO has developed a comprehensive warranty policy and warranty system. Our goal is to establish policies that will enable consistent, prompt and equitable processing of warranty requests.

The TICO warranty policy and system will enable our distributors to “know where they stand” in most warranty repair situations. This will enable the distributor to classify whether or not a service repair really is warrantable. The distributor can then deal with the customer more effectively. We at TICO want to make justified warranty claim a prompt, consistent and equitable experience for our mutual customers. It is vital that the warranty registration be completed via registration online and PDI completed and returned to TICO immediately following delivery of vehicle to the customer. This triggers the warranty in our system, enabling the claim to be processed. Completion of the warranty registration is also required by the National Highway Transportation Safety Administration for DOT compliant vehicles in the event contact with user is required. Please consider each claim on its own merits, remembering that this is directly proportionate to your future ability to provide a quality product at a reasonable price. We recommend that all people who deal with warranty service and administration become familiar with the procedures contained in this manual. TICO reserves the right to, at any time, change or revise the provisions of its warranty procedures, effective on or after notification of authorized distributors. All provisions of this manual are effective immediately.

PLEASE MAKE SURE THAT YOUR WARRANTY REGISTRATION AND PDI IS COMPLETED AND RETURNED TO TICO.

GENERAL INFORMATION PRO-SPOTTER

Use Lifting Equipment Safely

WARNING

• Always use a lifting device with a lifting capacity greater than the weight of the item being lifted.

• Secure the load to the lifting device using cables, chains, or slings rated to handle the load being lifted. Fasteners being used to connect lifting devices must be strong enough to handle the load. Also, be sure the mounting point of load is strong enough to handle the load.

• When connecting to the load, ensure the load is balanced.

• Always use a lifting device on a hard, level surface.

• Lower the lifting device to the lowest point before moving. Move the load slowly.

• Always support the load as soon as possible; never leave a load suspended in mid-air.

Use Compressed Air and Air Tools Safely

WARNING

• Compressed air is a useful tool when used in a safe manner.

• Always use eye and ear protection while using compressed air and air tools.

• When using air tools, do not exceed the air pressure rating for the tool.

• When using an impact wrench, always use approved impact sockets. Never use standard sockets on an impact wrench.

• Disconnect the air supply before changing air tool attachments.

• Never point air nozzles or air tools at another person.

• Always maintain air tools properly.

Service Tires Safely

WARNING

• Always wear safety glasses or goggles.

• Use proper lifting methods when working with wheels and tires.

• When working on an inflated tire, never position yourself directly over the work area.

• When dismounting or mounting tires, use a wheel holder or tire tractor. Use proper tire mounting tools and equipment. Never use screwdrivers or makeshift tools to force a tire on or off a wheel.

• Be sure tire irons and mounting tools are free of grease and oil. Grip them firmly.

• Inspect wheel parts for rust, damage, or distortion. Never use wheels that are out-of-round, rusted, or cracked.

GENERAL INFORMATION PRO-SPOTTER

FASTENERSFasteners consist of screws, bolts, studs, and nuts. These parts are used to hold components together. To prevent loosening, fasteners use locking devices such as locking tabs, thread adhesive, or lock nuts and washers.

When removing fasteners, inspect all parts for wear or damage and replace as needed. Lock nuts with nylon inserts must be replaced after removal. For installation, clean and apply a penetrating oil to fasteners to prevent rust and breakage.

Special tools may be needed to remove broken and extremely rusted fasteners. These special tools are commonly available at local tool stores.

When removing washers, inspect for wear or damage and replace as needed. Always install lock washers and flat washers exactly as they were removed. Never use a lock washer on a material softer than the washer metal.

Fastener SizesSee Figures 1-4—1-10.

TICO terminal tractors use both standard and metric fasteners on all equipment. Standard fasteners are often referred to as USS or SAE. A standard fastener cannot be substituted with a metric fastener. A metric fastener cannot be substituted with a standard fastener. A standard wrench should only be used on standard nuts and bolts. A metric wrench should only be used on metric nuts and bolts. It is important to know the difference between these two hardware characteristics.

NOTESAE refers to a non-metric fine thread fastener. USS refers to a non-metric coarse thread fastener. Standard bolts are sized according to the diameter (3) in inches, the thread pitch (number of threads per inch) (4), and the length (2) in inches. For example, a standard 1/2 - 13 x 2 bolt is 1/2 inch in diameter, has 13 threads per inch and is 2 inches long.

Figure 1-4: Standard Bolt Dimensions

Metric bolts are sized according to the diameter (7) in millimeters, the thread pitch (distance between threads in millimeters) (8), and the length (6) in millimeters. For example, an M12 - 1.75 x 50 metric bolt is 12 mm in diameter, has a thread pitch of 1.75 mm and is 50 mm long.

Figure 1-5: Metric Bolt Dimensions

Bolt heads are also used to set apart standard from metric fasteners. The width of a standard bolt head is measured in inches. Standard bolt heads also have radial lines that signify the bolt grade. The bolt grade is the strength of the bolt. The more grade lines a bolt head has, the stronger the bolt.

The width of a metric bolt head is measured in millimeters. Metric bolt heads also show the property class number of the bolt. The property class is the strength of the bolt. A stronger bolt will have a larger property class number.

The same applies to standard and metric nuts. Standard nuts are marked with dots to show the grade strength. The more dots a nut has, the stronger the nut. Metric nuts show the property class number. A stronger nut will have a larger property class number.

Metric studs are also labeled with the same property class number used for metric bolts. However, smaller studs use a geometric code to signify property class.

NOTEIf a fastener has no grade or property class marking, verify if it is standard or metric by measuring the thread pitch.When replacing standard or metric fasteners, be sure the new part is of the same or larger grade or property class. Always install fasteners in the same location they were removed.

GENERAL INFORMATION PRO-SPOTTER

Tightening Sequences and ProceduresTorqueIt is important that fasteners get tightened using the correct torque value. Too much torque can cause the fastener to break or become weak. Not enough torque will cause the fastener to be loose. Be sure to follow the torque instructions in this TICO service manual or the provided manufacture’s manual. If a specific torque value is not listed, use the torque chart found in this section. The size and grade or property class must be known to determine how much force to use. More torque can be used on fasteners with higher grade and property class ratings.

Tightening SequencesIt is important to understand how a tightening sequence works to prevent bending or deforming of components. When fasteners are arranged in a pattern, they must be tightened or loosened in a specific order. Oil pans and cylinder heads are a couple examples that use fasteners in a pattern.

Follow the instruction in this TICO service manual for the correct tightening sequence. If the sequence is not stated, start by installing all nuts and bolts only finger tight. Then apply one full turn to each fastener, working in a star pattern. Repeat the star pattern, only applying one half turn for this sequence. Lastly, tighten each fastener by applying one quarter turn until the proper torque is reached. The reverse of this process is used to remove fasteners.

Figure 1-11: Tightening Sequence

TORQUE CHARTThis torque chart is to be used as a guide when specific torque values are not listed in the instructions. The torque values in the chart are approximate and are for reference only when tightening fasteners. It is recommended that nuts and bolts be of the same standard grade. If a nut and bolt are of different grades, use the torque value of the lower grade fastener.

The torque values in the Standard Fastener Torque Values table, See Table 1-1 on page 1-13, are based on a bolt pre-load stress of 75% of the proof strength. Grade 2 fasteners with a bolt size from 3/8” to 3/4” have a proof strength of 55 000 psi. Bolt sizes from 7/8” to 1-3/8” have a proof strength of 33 000 psi. Grade 5 fasteners with a bolt size from 3/8” to 1” have a proof strength of 85 000 psi. Bolt sizes from 1-1/8” to 1-3/8” have a proof strength of 74 000 psi. Grade 8 fasteners have a proof strength of 120 000 psi.

The torque values in the Metric Fastener Torque Values table, See Table 1-2 on page 1-13, have a proof strength equal to or greater than the tensile strength of the bolt. A Class 4.6 fastener will have an approximate tensile strength of 400 MPa (58 015 psi) and 80% yield strength. Class 8.8 fasteners will have an approximate tensile strength of 800 MPa (116 030 psi) and 80% yield strength. Class 10.9 fasteners will have an approximate tensile strength of 1 000 MPa (145 038 psi) and 90% yield strength.

IMPORTANTApplying too much or too little torque can cause damage to components. Caution should always be used when applying any torque value. Use these torque values at your own risk.

PRO-SPOTTER ENGINE

INTRODUCTIONThe purpose of the ENGINE section is to provide service and maintenance personnel with guidance on the proper procedures for servicing the Cummins™ engine and its related components, including the air intake and cooling systems on TICO Pro-Spotter terminal trucks.

The TICO Pro-Spotter terminal trucks have been engineered for quick and efficient servicing, while minimizing down time. The external location for many of the engine related parts allow for easy access.

For additional information, please contact TICO factory support. (See “CONTACT TICO SUPPORT” on page 0-15.)

CHECK FLUID LEVEL

Engine Oil LevelSee Figure 4-1.

IMPORTANTAvoid damage to the engine. Never operate the engine with the oil level below the “L” (Low) mark or above the “H” (High) mark.

NOTES• Wait at least 15 minutes after shutting off the engine

to allow time for the oil to drain into the oil pan before checking the engine oil.

• The vehicle must be level when checking the oil level to make sure the measurement is correct.

Figure 4-1: Dipstick Location

1. Park and prepare tractor for service. (See “Park Tractor Safely” on page 1-3.)

2. Remove the dipstick (1) and read oil level.

3. Add oil if necessary.

4. Remove dipstick and read oil level again.

Coolant LevelSee Figure 4-2.

1. Park and prepare tractor for service. (See “Park Tractor Safely” on page 1-3.)

Figure 4-2: Coolant Level Check

2. Ensure the coolant level is up to the sight glass (1) on the surge tank (2).

CAUTION

3. Remove surge tank cap (3) if necessary.

4. Using a syringe type tester, ensure coolant is protected to at least -32°C (-25°F).

IMPORTANT• Avoid damage to engine castings. Do not add

cold coolant to a hot engine. Allow engine to cool to 49°C (120°F) before adding coolant.

• Avoid coolant system plugging and engine overheat caused by inadequate coolant flow. Never use a sealing additive to stop leaks in the coolant system.

5. Add coolant if necessary.

6. Ensure the coolant level is up to the sight glass on the surge tank.

7. Install surge tank cap.

TRANSMISSION PRO-SPOTTER

INTRODUCTIONStandard TICO tractors are equipped with an Allison Transmission® fully automatic transmission. These heavy-duty transmissions are designed for stop and go operation.

NOTEAn Allison Transmission® operator’s manual is provided with every TICO tractor. This manual provides important information on operation of the Allison Transmissions®.For additional service and maintenance information, see the Allison Transmission® operator’s manual.

CHECK FLUID LEVEL

Transmission FluidPeriodic transmission fluid level checks help prevent mechanical failure of a vehicle or transmission component. Periodic checks also help detect the following conditions:

• Cooler failures

• Fluid contamination

• Fluid leaks

• Fluid overfill

• Fluid underfill

• Incorrect fluid used at last servicing

Transmission fluid level checks may be completed manually by checking the dipstick (1) or electronically via the transmission gear selector.

Transmission fluid level is dependent upon fluid operating temperatures due to thermal expansion. Procedures vary depending upon transmission fluid temperature.

Manual Check—ColdSee Figures 5-1 and 5-2.

The cold check band (2) on the dipstick (1) verifies that the transmission has adequate fluid for start-up and operation until it can be checked at the operating (hot) temperature. Fluid levels for continued operation should not be adjusted based on a cold check alone. A cold check is the most accurate with fluid temperatures of 16°—49°C (61°—120°F).

1. Park the tractor on a level surface and shift to neutral (N).

2. Apply the parking brake.

3. With the engine idling, shift to drive (D) and then to reverse (R) remove air from hydraulic circuits.

4. Shift to neutral (N).

5. Allow the engine to idle for approximately 1 minute.

Figure 5-1: Dipstick Location

6. Clean any dirt or debris from the end of the fill tube before removing the dipstick (1).

7. Remove the dipstick and wipe it clean.

NOTEManual transmission fluid level checks should be performed with the dipstick in the unscrewed or loose position.8. Insert the dipstick into the fill tube. Push down until

the dipstick stops while still in an unscrewed or loose position.

Figure 5-2: Manual Cold Check

9. Remove the dipstick and observe the fluid level. If the transmission fluid is within the cold check band (2), the fluid level is satisfactory.

10. If necessary, add or remove transmission fluid until the transmission fluid level is within the cold check band.

PRO-SPOTTER TRANSMISSION

11. Perform a hot manual check once the transmission fluid has reached 71°—93°C (160°—200°F).

For additional service and maintenance information, see the Allison Transmission® operator’s manual.

Manual Check—HotSee Figures 5-3 and 5-4.

The hot check band (3) on the dipstick (1) offers the best assurance of maintaining the correct fluid levels. Hot checks should be performed at normal transmission operating fluid temperatures of 71°—93°C (160°—200°F). While a cold check must be performed prior to start-up, fluid levels for continued operation should be adjusted based on hot check results.

1. Ensure transmission fluid has reached a normal operating fluid temperature of 71°—93°C (160°—200°F).

2. Park the tractor on a level surface and shift to neutral (N).

3. Apply the parking brake.

Figure 5-3: Dipstick Location

4. Clean any dirt or debris from the end of the fill tube before removing the dipstick (1).

5. Remove the dipstick and wipe it clean.

NOTEManual transmission fluid level checks should be performed with the dipstick in the unscrewed or loose position.6. Insert the dipstick into the fill tube. Push down until

the dipstick stops while still in an unscrewed or loose position.

Figure 5-4: Manual Hot Check

7. Remove the dipstick and observe the fluid level. If the transmission fluid is within the hot check band (3), the fluid level is satisfactory.

8. If necessary, add or remove transmission fluid until the transmission fluid level is within the hot check band.

9. Perform a hot manual check once again to ensure consistent measurements.

For additional service and maintenance information, see the Allison Transmission® operator’s manual.

Electronic Check—HotSee Figure 5-5.

The electronic hot check offers additional information not available when performing a manual check. The transmission gear selector (4) will delay displaying the fluid level results until the following conditions are met:

• The transmission fluid temperature is above 40°C (104°F) or below 104°C (220°F).

• Transmission is in neutral (N).

• The tractor has been stationary for approximately 2 minutes to allow the fluid to settle.

• The engine is running at idle.

While an electronic check provides more specific information regarding the fluid level, a manual check should be performed to verify the electronic check results.

1. Park the tractor on a level surface and shift to neutral (N).

2. Apply the parking brake.

NOTEThe tractor must be completely stopped with a transmission output shaft speed of 0 rpm.3. Allow the engine to idle.

4. Allow the transmission fluid to settle for 2 minutes.

Inspection• Check all threaded components for damaged or

stripped threads. Repair light damage with thread chasers. Replace parts found to be unserviceable.

• Clean all parts of dirt and debris.

• Inspect parts for wear or damage. Replace as needed.

InstallationSee Figure 6-6.

Installation is the reverse of the removal procedure.

Figure 6-6: Alignment Pin

• Verify proper alignment. Locate alignment pin (13) with hole (14) in frame while installing upper plate (15).

FRONT END ALIGNMENTProper front end alignment is essential to tractor performance and longevity. Proper alignment ensures efficient steering and maximum tire life. Check the alignment at routine intervals or after any heavy impact to the front axle.

Preparation• Properly adjust front end bearings. (See “FRONT

WHEEL BEARINGS” on page 6-8.)

• Check to ensure that the steering tie rod, drag link ends, and king pins are not loose.

• Check the tires for proper inflation pressure and that the rim-to-floor are the same at each wheel. (See “TIRE PRESSURE” on page 2-11.)

• Check the wheel installation.

Checking and Correcting ToeSee Figure 6-7.

Figure 6-7: Toe (viewed from above)

Toe-in is when the distance between the front wheels is less at the front of the axle than it is at the rear. Toe-in can cause excessive tire wear and unstable steering.

Checking the Toe

NOTEA work bay is needed for this procedure.1. Slowly drive the truck into the bay.

2. Park and prepare tractor for service. (See “Park Tractor Safely” on page 1-3.)

3. Apply marks approximately 127 mm (5 in) up on the front side of both tires. Be sure the mark is parallel to the center tread rib.

5. Place a trammel bar behind the front tires with the pointers at the outside edge of the marks.

6. Adjust the trammel bar to point at the centerline height of the marks and secure the pointers when the bar is in place.

7. With the trammel bar pointers still set, align one pointer to the outside edge of the center tread rib mark.

8. Measure and record the distance between the pointer and the outside edge mark on the opposite tire.

9. The recorded distance is the toe measurement. Compare the recorded distance to the specification.

.

10. If measurement exceeds the specification, correct toe. (See “Correcting the Toe” on page 6-6.)

Correcting the Toe1. If the toe measurement exceeds the specification,

loosen both tie rod bar clamps.

2. Rotate the tie rod bar to correct the distance of the toe measurement.

3. When the specified distance is reached, tighten the tie rod bar on each end to specification.

4. Check the toe measurement before returning the tractor to service. (See “Checking the Toe” on page 6-5.)

Checking and Correcting CamberSee Figures 6-8 and 6-9.

Figure 6-8: Wheel Alignment (camber)

Camber is the angle that the front wheels are tilted outward, or inward for a negative camber condition, at the top from the vertical position. Camber can cause excessive tire wear and unstable steering.

1. Park and prepare tractor for service. (See “Park Tractor Safely” on page 1-3.)

WARNING

2. Using an appropriate lifting device, raise the front end of the tractor. (See “Use Lifting Equipment Safely” on page 1-4.)

AIR SYSTEM PRO-SPOTTER

INTRODUCTIONThe purpose of the AIR SYSTEM section is to provide service and maintenance personnel with guidance on the proper procedures for servicing pneumatic equipment on TICO Pro-Spotter terminal trucks. The air system is made up of an air compressor, air dryer, and air tanks, which supply air pressure to pneumatic subsystems including brakes, cab and seat suspension, and trailer connections.

The TICO Pro-Spotter terminal trucks have been engineered for quick and efficient servicing while minimizing downtime.

For additional information, please contact TICO factory support. (See “CONTACT TICO SUPPORT” on page 0-15.)

AIR BRAKE SYSTEM TESTSThe following air brake system tests should be performed periodically to determine the condition of the system. These tests are designed to help discover sluggish performance and/or system leaks before they become a major problem. Performing these tests does NOT rule out the importance and necessity of functional, dynamic controllability tests and other tests required in assuring vehicle safety and performance.

Low Air Buzzer and Light Test1. Apply and release the brake pedal until air pressure

drops below specification.

2. The low air buzzer and dash warning light should come on.

Air System Maximum Pressure Test1. Start engine and run at fast idle.

2. Monitor air pressure gauge.

3. Governor cutout should limit system air pressure to specification.

Air System Leak Down Test1. Disconnect the glad hands from the trailer.

2. Run engine at fast idle.

3. Allow air pressure to stabilize at operating pressure for at least 1 minute.

4.

5. Shut off engine and observe pressure gauge for 2 minutes.

6. Pressure drop should not exceed specification.7.

BRAKE MAINTENANCEA schedule for the periodic cleaning, inspection, and lubrication of brake equipment should be established. Brake linings and drums are subject to wear.

To compensate for this wear, the brakes are equipped with automatic slack adjusters to maintain proper operation. The adjusters should be routinely checked to provide uniform lining clearance, correct travel of levers, and proper equalization.

Brakes should be cleaned, inspected, lubricated, and adjusted every time the hubs are removed.

CHASSIS LUBRICATION SYSTEM PRO-SPOTTER

INTRODUCTIONThe purpose of the CHASSIS LUBRICATION SYSTEM section is to provide service and maintenance personnel with guidance on the proper procedures for servicing automatic lubrication systems on the TICO Pro-Spotter terminal trucks.

The TICO Pro-Spotter terminal trucks have been engineered for quick and efficient servicing while minimizing downtime.

Automatic lubrication systems reduce service times further by ensuring components are kept properly lubricated during operation without requiring direct service labor.

For additional information, please contact TICO factory support. (See “CONTACT TICO SUPPORT” on page 0-15.)

AUTOMATIC LUBRICATION SYSTEMFilling the ReservoirSee Figure 10-1.

If during a system inspection when it is visible that the reservoir has reached minimum level, the pump needs to be filled with an appropriate NLGI - grade lubricant. (See “RECOMMENDED LUBRICANTS AND CAPACITIES” on page 2-6.)

For filling the reservoir, follow the steps as described below to ensure that no contaminants and/or air enter the lubrication system.

1. Park and prepare tractor for service. (See “Park Tractor Safely” on page 1-3.)

Figure 10-1: Dust Cap

2. Remove dust cap (2).

3. Clean and inspect male filler coupler (3) on the automatic lubrication system. Verify coupler is free of dirt and debris.

IMPORTANTWhen exchanging a bucket of grease, ensure there are no air pockets in the filler hose by making at least 3 strokes to circulate the grease.

4. With the male and female couplers of the filler pump connected, operate the filler pump for at least 3 strokes. Circulating the grease ensures there are no air pockets in the filler hose. This is especially important when exchanging buckets of grease.

5. Clean and inspect female filler coupler. Verify coupler is free of dirt and debris.

6. Connect the male filler coupler of the automatic lubrication system to the female couple of the filler pump.

IMPORTANTPrevent possible damage to automatic lubrication system. Do not overfill reservoir. Reservoir should be filled only to maximum level mark.

NOTEIf automatic lubrication system is filled to the maximum level mark, the system may release excess lubricant or trapped air from underneath the follower plate through the system vent.7. Fill reservoir with grease until top of follower plate

reaches the maximum level mark on reservoir.

8. Install dust cap.

RemovalSee Figures 10-2 and 10-3.

1. Park and prepare tractor for service. (See “Park Tractor Safely” on page 1-3.)

2. Disconnect batteries. (See “BATTERY” on page 3-3.)

PRO-SPOTTER BOOM AND FIFTH WHEEL

FIFTH WHEEL MAINTENANCE

AdjustmentSee Figures 12-5, 12-6, and 12-7.

Fifth wheel adjustments should be performed at a minimum of every 60,000 miles or if excessive movement between the kingpin and fifth wheel is noticed while driving the vehicle.

WARNING

IMPORTANTExcessive movement between the tractor and trailer can affect vehicle handling.

NOTETo obtain proper fifth wheel adjustment, SAF-HOLLAND™ recommends the use of the HOLLAND lock tester (part number TF-TLN-5001). The HOLLAND lock tester is available from a local HOLLAND distributor.

Figure 12-5: Loosening the Adjustment Nut

1. Loosen the adjustment nut (13) 5 or 6 turns.

2. If the fifth wheel is locked, pull the release handle to unlock the fifth wheel. If equipped with a manual secondary lock, first pull the secondary release handle and hook on the top plate casting.

NOTEFor specific lock tester instructions, visit SAF-HOLLAND online (www.safholland.us) and refer to SAF-HOLLAND document number XL-FW10082ST-en-US.

3. Use the lock tester to couple and uncouple the fifth wheel 3 times to help “seat” the yoke.

Figure 12-6: Compressing the Rubber Washer

4. With the locks closed around the lock tester, position the adjustment nut on yoke shaft so it is slightly compressing the rubber washer. This will make it difficult to turn the adjustment nut by hand.

Figure 12-7: Clockwise Adjustment

5. Turn the adjustment nut 1 additional turn clockwise to further compress the rubber washer.

IMPORTANTOver-compressing the rubber washer with additional turns will take the fifth wheel out of proper adjustment and degrade the performance of the fifth wheel.6. Repeat the coupling and uncoupling process with the

lock tester at least twice to help “seat” the yoke.

7. Confirm that the rubber washer cannot be turned by hand. If it can, repeat the adjustment procedures.

8. Remove the lock tester from the fifth wheel.

Failure to maintain proper fifth wheel adjustment could result in loss of vehicle control, which if not avoided, could result in death or serious injury.

PRO-SPOTTER HEATING AND AIR CONDITIONING

INTRODUCTIONThe purpose of the HEATING AND AIR CONDITIONING section is to provide service and maintenance personnel with guidance on the proper procedures for servicing heating and air conditioning systems on the TICO Pro-Spotter terminal trucks.

The TICO Pro-Spotter terminal trucks have been engineered for quick and efficient servicing while minimizing downtime.

Service and maintenance personnel should only open the heating and air conditioning systems if absolutely necessary.

For additional information, please contact TICO factory support. (See “CONTACT TICO SUPPORT” on page 0-15.)

CAUTIONS AND PROPER HANDLING OF R134a REFRIGERANT

CAUTION

CAUTION

CAUTION

IMPORTANTR134a refrigerant is used in the air conditioning system in order to meet government standards relating to the use of refrigerants. Because it does not contain chlorine, R134a is not detrimental to the ozone in the atmosphere. However, it is illegal to discharge any refrigerant into the atmosphere. It must be recovered using an appropriate refrigerant recovery, recycling, and recharging station.

Prevent refrigerant from contacting eyes or skin. Refrigerant will freeze eyes or skin on contact. Wear goggles, gloves, and protective clothing.If refrigerant contacts eyes or skin, do not touch or rub the area. Splash large amounts of cool water on affected area. Seek out medical treatment immediately.

Do not allow refrigerant to contact open flames or hot surfaces such as electric welding arc, electric heating element, and lighted smoking materials.Do not heat refrigerant over 52°C (125°F) in a closed container. Internal pressure increases when the refrigerant container is heated. The increased pressure can make the container burst.Keep refrigerant containers away from heat sources. Store refrigerant in a cool place.

Do not handle damp refrigerant container with bare hands. Skin may freeze to container. Wear gloves.If skin freezes to container, pour cool water over container to free the skin. Seek out medical treatment immediately.

R134a REFRIGERANT HOSES AND TUBING

Inspection

IMPORTANTAir conditioning system hoses contain special barriers in the walls which prevent migration of refrigerant gas.Do not use hydraulic hoses as replacement hoses in the air conditioning system.Whenever a component is disconnected from the air conditioning system, a thorough inspection of hoses and tubing for moisture, grease, dirt, rust, or other foreign material must be completed. If such contamination is present in any hoses, tubing, or fittings and cannot be removed by cleaning, then replace parts.

IMPORTANTChlorinated solvents (such as trichloroethylene) are contaminants, and must not be used for cleaning. Chlorinated solvents will cause hose deterioration.Fittings that have grease or dirt on them should be wiped clean with a cloth dampened with alcohol.

Apply a small amount of clean, correct viscosity refrigerant oil on all hose and tube connections to help prevent leaking at joints and connections. Dip O-rings in correct viscosity refrigerant oil before assembling.

R134a REFRIGERANT OIL INFORMATION

Removal

CAUTION

1. Handle refrigerant safely. (See “R134a REFRIGERANT HOSES AND TUBING” on page 15-4.)

2. Park and prepare tractor for service. (See “Park Tractor Safely” on page 1-3.)

CAUTION

3. Remove and repair or replace air conditioner compressor. (See “AIR CONDITIONER COMPRESSOR” on page 15-10.)

4. If a new compressor is required, drain existing oil into graduated container while rotating compressor shaft.

5. Record measured oil volume and discard oil properly.

6. If oil drained from a compressor that was removed from operation is very black or amount of oil is less than specification, perform the following:

a. Inspect for R134a leakage. (See “R134a REFRIGERANT LEAK TEST” on page 15-5.)

b. Remove and discard receiver/dryer. (See “RECEIVER/DRYER” on page 15-19.)

c. Determine if a complete system flush is required and flush if necessary. (See “FLUSH AND PURGE AIR CONDITIONING SYSTEM” on page 15-9.)

d. If compressor is serviceable, pour flushing solvent in manifold ports and internally wash out any remaining old oil.

e. Install a new receiver/dryer. (See “RECEIVER/DRYER” on page 15-19.)

Prevent refrigerant from contacting eyes or skin. Refrigerant will freeze eyes or skin on contact. Wear goggles, gloves, and protective clothing.

Avoid possible injury. New compressors are charged with a mixture of nitrogen, R134a refrigerant, and R134a refrigerant oil. Wear safety goggles and discharge compressor slowly.

PRO-SPOTTER HEATING AND AIR CONDITIONING

Inspection1. Check all threaded components for damaged or

stripped threads. Repair light damage with thread chasers. Replace parts found to be unserviceable.

2. Check condition of air conditioning system lines and tubing. (See “R134a REFRIGERANT HOSES AND TUBING” on page 15-4.)

3. Check components, lines, and fittings for signs of leakage. (See “R134a REFRIGERANT LEAK TEST” on page 15-5.)

Installation1. Install the compressor. (See “AIR CONDITIONER

COMPRESSOR” on page 15-10.)

IMPORTANT• Prevent possible air conditioning system

damage. Do not add any more oil than required or maximum cooling will be reduced.

• Prevent possible air conditioning system contamination. Do not leave system or R134a compressor oil containers open. Refrigerant oil absorbs moisture quickly.

• Prevent possible damage to acrylic or ABS plastic materials. Spilling R134a refrigerant oil on these will cause rapid material deterioration.

• Prevent possible air conditioning system damage. Identify R134a oil containers and measures to eliminate accidental mixing of different oils.

2. Add required amount of R134a compressor oil. If any section of hose is removed and flushed or replaced, measure length of hose and use formula 3 mL per 30 cm (0.1 fl oz per ft) to determine correct amount of oil to be added.

3. Connect all components.

4. Evacuate air conditioning system. (See “Evacuate R134a System” on page 15-7.)

5. Recharge R134a air conditioning system. (See “Recharge R134a System” on page 15-8.)
