Safety rules··
• Follow the local safety regulations.
• Before starting, check that nobody is in the way of the.truck and its'
accessories.
• The truck should be driven only by specially trained operators who are authorised to do so by
the work supervisor.
• Warning! Only authorized and qualified personnel may work with the safety system.
• Warning! If the overload safety system override function has been used, there is a risk of
forward tipping. The truck should be operated with extreme care to prevent accidents.
• The truck must not be used if its brakes, steering or lifting equipment is faulty. Neither must it
be used if it has been repaired, modified or adjusted without the approval of the work super-
visor.
• Do not exceed the lifting capacity of the truck.
• Great care must be exercised at all times when driving the machine. Always remember the
great height and width of the machine so that collision with beams, cables etc. is avoided.
• It is prohibited to start lifting a container if the red warning light TWIST-LOCK UNLOCKED is lit
or if any of the yellow warning lights TWIST-LOCK UNLOCKED or ALIGNMENT are unlift. N.B.
the ALIGNMENT warning light goes out once the lift has begun.
• If the safety system warning lamps are not functioning, the system must be immediately
repaired. To use a truck with faulty warning lamps is a great safety risk.
• Do not drive the truck with load raised high above the ground, since the truck may overturn.
The transport of heavy loads must be carried out with the load as close to the truck as possible,
Le. with the boom retracted as far as possible without obstructing vision.
• Never run hands or fingers along any tubes, pipes or hoses whilst investigating for possible
leaks as some of these lines (diesel fuel, hydraulic, steering, etc.) operate at extremely high
pressures and even the most minute of leaks can cause oil or fluid to penetrate the skin.
• Always apply the parking brake before leaving the cab. Always remove the key if the truck is
left unattended.
• The parking brake may also be used as EMERGENCY BRAKE (see Brake system).
• Under no circumstances may compressed air be used to remove a hydraulic piston from its
cylinder.
• Always attend to damage and wear that may be of significance to the performance and useful
life of the truck or to the safety of the personnel.
• Follow the safety rules whenever carrying out service work on the air conditioner. The
refrigerant is injurious to the skin and eyes. Only authorized service personnel may repair the
system.
• The brake system is equipped with accumulators charged to a pressure of up to 21 MPa. To

prevent accidents when working on the brake system, never disconnect any component without
previously relieving the accumulator pressure by means of the accumulator discharge valve.
• Never carry out any service work on the boom or attachmentt when the engine is running.

Safety instructions for working with tyres
Tyre changing can be dangerous and should only be carried out by specially trained personnel
using proper tools and procedures. Failure to comply with these procedures may result in faulty
positioning of the tyre and/or rim and cause the assembly to burst with explosive force sufficient
to cause physical injury or death. Never fit or use damaged tyres or rims. Never position body in
front of a damaged rim or tyre.
Deflation and dismantling
- The truck should be properly jacked up before dismantling.
- Always check the tyre/rim assembly for proper component seating prior to removal from the truck.
- Never position body in front of the rim during deflation.
- Always deflate the tyre by removing the valve core prior to removing the complete assembly from the
truck or dismantling any of the component. Before loosening mounting bolts, run a wire through the valve
stem to ensure that it is not blocked. Ice or dirt can prevent the air from escaping.
- Always follow the manufacturer's instruction manual, or other recognized industry instruction manuals.
Rim inspection
- Always select the correct tyre size and construction matching the manufacturer's rim or wheel rating and
size ..
- Do not use over-size tyres, too large for the rims, e.g. 14.5 inch tyres with 14 inch rims or 16.5 inch tyres
with 16 inch rims.
- Never use damaged, worn or corroded rims/wheels or fitting hardware. Always verify that the rim is in a
serviceable conditioning.
- Always clean and repaint lightly rusted rims.
- Never use a rim/wheel component that can not be identified. Check rim parts against multi-piece rim/
wheel matching charts.
Assembly
- Always double check to ensure that the rim assemblies have been correctly assembled and that secu-
ring studs and nuts are tightened to the correct torque setting.
- Always follow assembly and dismantling procedures outlined in the manufacturer's instruction manual, or
other recognized industry instruction manuals. Use proper rubber lubricant.
- Never use a steel hammer to assembling or dismantling rim components - use a lead, brass or plastic
type mallets. The correct tools are available through rim/wheel distributors.
Inflation
- When adding air to a tyre on an industrial truck, use a clip-on chuck and stay out of the danger
area. If the tyre has been run flat then the rim must -be dismantled and all parts inspected for damage.
- Tyres must first be inflated to the correct seating pressure (0.3 bar). During inflation, check that the
tyre is correctly seated on the wheel and that all components are correctly positioned. Double
check that the locking ring has been correctly fitted. If the tyre or the locking ring are not correctly
positioned or any other fault is discovered, discontinue tyre inflation immediately and rectify the fault.
- Tyres fitted to split-rim wheels must not be inflated above the seating pressure prior to the wheels being
fitted onto the truck.
- Tyre inflation should be carried out from a protected position and during inflation it is strictly forbidden
for any person to remain within "dangerous proximity" of the wheel.
- Tyres should be inflated in areas that will withstand, inhibit or disperse the pressure wave caused, for
example, by an exploding tyre. At the same time, the position should be so protected as to eliminate the
possibility of personal injury caused by flying wheel components in the event of such an explosion. If
possible, tyres should be inflated outdoors.
- When fitting the wheels onto the truck, the wheel nuts must be tightened to the recommended torque
settings. Use staggered sequence: Le. top bolt, bottom bolt, etc
- Under-inflated tyres have a serious effect on the stability of the truck and reduces the safe load handling
capacity. Always maintain tyres at the correct inflation pressures. Check inflation pressures daily.
- Inspect tyres regulary - every day if possible. Look for and remove broken glass, torn pieces
of tread, embedded metal chips etc. Inspect for uneven or rapid tread wear.

Design - Overview
Kalmar LMV DC 416D-4180 model RS diesel trucks are of
sturdy design for particularly heavy duty handling of 20-40'
loaded containers. They are built around a chassis which has
high strength and torsional ~tiffness and an extremely low
centre of gravity.
The operator's cab is provided with vibration isolation and
sound insulation and offers excellent all-round visibility. It
satisfies with a comfortable margin the demands for a safety
cab specified by various standards and regulations.
There are.many adjustments that can be made to the operator's
driving position. The position of the seat, back support and
firmness of the driving seat can be adjusted in a number of
ways.
The trucks are equipped with a sliding cab. This puts the
operator in an exeptional position to superwise trailer
attachment and offers excellent accessibility to the transmission
and hydraulic pumps. The engine is easily accessible through a
removable running board.
To special order, the trucks are equipped with hydraulically

powered sliding cab.

Tightening torques
(According to Kalmar LMV K Standards 20060.0001)
The tightening torques are applicable to steel bolts and nuts

tightened with a torque wrench under the following conditions:
Surface treatment
Condition Lubrication
Bolt Nut
1 untreated untreated oiled
bright galvanised untreated

2 bright galvanised bright galvanised dry or oiled
bright galvanised hot-dip galvanised
3 hot-dip galvanised untreated dry or oiled
The values sp-ecified in Table 1 are applicable to nut-and-bolt

joints, but can also be used for bolts fitted into tapped holes:
However, in the latter case, the preloading force will be some-
what lower, depending on its depth of engagement.
When tightening by machine, the torque specified in Table 1

should be reduced by approx. 5%, due to the increased scatter
and to prevent the bolt from being tightened beyond its yield
point.

chassis on· rubber dampers. The cab is of safety design, and is
an efficient and safe workplace. The operator's seat, steering
wheel and hydraulic control levers can be adjusted for best
possible opera~or comfort. Effective insulation minimises the
vibrations and sound level in the cab.
The standard heating system consists of a fan and heater for

heating the air in the cab by recirculation. Fresh air is drawn in
through a ventilation air filter. Full air conditioning, with cooling,
heating and dehumidification, is available ~o special order.

Air conditioning unit

The air conditioning unit consists of the parts shown in the iIIu-
strationand its function is to maintain the climate in the ope-
rator's cab as comfortable as possible. The air conditioning unit:
• heats the air when it is cold
• dehumidifies the air when' it is humid
• removes· impurities from the air
• cools the air when it is warm
The air conditioning unit is controlled by means of switches on
the instrument panel and controls on the fan casing below the
instrument panel.

Technical Handbook Description', - Pub!. I Gr.1 P.
Compressor
The air conditioning system is driven by the compressor. This
performs as a pump, drawing cold, low-pressure gas from the
evaporator, compressing it and thereby raising its temperature,
and discharging it at high pressure to the condenser. .
The compressor is driven by V-belts directly from the diesel

engine. Switching between operation and idling is controlled by
an electro-magnetic clutch which, in turn, is controlled by a
thermostat whose sensor is located between the fins of the
evaporator coil. The thermostat switches off the compressor at
low temperatures, to prevent icing of the evaporator.
Condenser
The function of the condenser is to convert the hot high-pressu-
re gas from the compressor into liquid form. The tubes and fins
of the condenser coil absorb heat, which is then removed by the
air delivered by the fan.
The temperature of the refrigerant in the condenser varies from

about +50°C to +70°C. The pressure varies between 12 and 20
bar, depending on the ambient temperature and the flow of air
through the condenser. When the refrigerant is condensed into
liquid form, it is transferred under pressure to the liquid receiver/
filter dryer.
Liquid receiver with filter-dryer

The function of the liquid receiver with integrated filter dryer is to
collect the liquid coolant, bind the moisture, and to filter and
remove impurities. The receiver, which is located in the conden-
ser housing, also serves as the expansion vessel in the refrige-
ration circuit.
After flowing through the dryer in the bottom of the liquid recei-
ver, the refrigerant flows through a riser tube. A sight glass
enables the operator to check that the liquid flows without the
presence of any bubbles, and that the system is filled with a
sufficient amount of refrigerant.
Expansion valve
The expansion valve throttles the flow and passes an optimised
quantity of refrigerant that the evaporator is capable of
evaporating.
The expansion valve is also the part of the circuit which

separates the high- pressure side from the low-pressure side.
The refrigerant flows to the expansion valve under high
pressure and leaves it under low pressure.
The amount of refrigerant which passes the evaporator varies,

depending on the thermal load. The valve operates from 'fully
open' to 'fully closed' and in-between searches for a pOint to
give optimum evaporation.
Evaporator
The heat necessary for evaporating the refrigerant is extracted
from the cab air which is circulated by a fan through the evapo-
rator coil. The cab air is thus cooled, and is distributed and
retumed to the cab.
In the evaporator, the refrigerant reverts to the gaseous state

and returns to the compressor suction, thereby completing the
cycle.

The liquid refrigerant should be completely evaporated before it

is allowed to flow from the evaporator. The refrigerant is still
cold even when it has completely evaporated. The cold vapour
which flows through what remains of the evaporator continues
to absorb heat, and then becomes overheated. This means that

The system voltage is 24V and the supply is taken from two
12V batteries connected in series and charged by an alternator
across electronic rectifying and voltage stabilisation circuits.
The negative and positive poles are both connected across a
main switch. The negative pole is then connected to the' chas-
sis. Always open the main switch whenever work is to be
carried out on the electrical system, if the truck is to remain idle
for some time and whenever welding work is to be carried out
on the truck.
Warning lamps and instruments are clearly arranged on the

instrument panel, to the left of the driver. The panel is hinged,
and a ciicuit board with relays, fuses and terminal blocks is

Dead man's handle (Option)

To special order; the control lever can be equipped with so
called dead man's handle; This means that all servo circuits,
and thus all functions, will be interrupted if the operator drops
the grip of the control lever. The active component is a .
capacitive sensor. When the hand grips the lever the magnetic
field of the sensor is influenced and the sensor is activated.

Stabilised 8V d.c. is supplied to the 'potentiometers in the

control lever. An ,8.1t:..190 mA signal is returned to the control
unit from the appropriate -potentiometer,
I depending on the lever
movement. In the control unit, the signal is modulated to a
square-wave form, is amplified to approx. 400mA and is used
• •• •• • as a control signal for the electro-hydraulic converters. Square-
•• wave modulation is required to ens8re accuracy of the con-
verters. ~~. ,. I :
Compensation for changes in the resistance of the converter
solenoid coil due to temperature variations and supply voltage
variations is provided automatically Iby means of a current-
sensing feedback loop. :
Each function can be regulated by ~eans of two potentiome-

ters, one of which determines the starting point of the curve and
r the other its slope and end point. Crhe settings are adjusted at
the factory.) . I

Converters
"The converter is an electrically controlled pressure reducing
valve for the remote control of hydraulic functions. The output
signal is a proportional hydraulic servo pressure which is used
to control the spools of the lJ'Iain valves.
The converter consists of a solenoid and a pilot valve. It is

connected to the main valve spool actuator block.
The solenoid exerts a proportional force on the pilot valve. The

end of the unit is provided with a vent screw and a pushbutton
for emergency manual operation. t;
The control pressure output delivered by the pilot valve to the

2 spool actuator of the main valve is practically proportional to the
input current.
The solenoid is supplied with square-wave modulated d.c. to

mini mise the hysteresis effect and ensure maximum accuracy.
The pilot valve is closed in the neutral position.

P3 Rotation
In order to prevent damage to the machine when lifting or
lowering a rotation stopper is available to order. The stopper
allows a maximum rotation of ±20°.
Two inductive sensors (3) are positioned on the upper rotation

yoke outside the gear wheel.
1. The maximum rotation angle is reached when each sensor

reaches the activator 4.
2. The sensor feeds a signal to relay 8.26 or 8.27 (Model RS5

also relay 8.18 or 8.19). The relay shifts and interrupts the
rotation signal between lever and IPS-unit (9 or 10)
3. Switch 7, positioned nearby the lever in the operator's cab

can be used for bridging of the rotation stopper. When the
switch is set to its OFF position the signal from either of the
sensors 3 is interrupted.

Hydraulic re-positioning of operator cab

. As an optional extra; a system for hydraulically repositioning the·
, operator's cab is available. The cab is then mounted on a frame which
glides on two rails drawn by a hydraulic motor driven chain. The system
is controlled by means of a switch mounted on the instrument I?anel.
The hydraulic motor is fed from' the priority valve in the steering
system. When the manoeuvre valve for cab positioning is activated an
LSsignal'is fed to the priority valve which is reset to feed the hydraulic
motor via the manoeuvre valve.
Electrical interlock
In order to avoid accidents, the system is electrically interlocked with
switches 8 and 9 and the limit switch 10, se circuit diagram
A07687.0100. The cab must be in the rear position and have both
doors closed, otherwise the electro hydraulic servo system is
interrupted for all hydraulic functions.
1. Condition: The cab has been moved more than 100 mm forwards
and both or any of the doors are open. 10 and 8 or 9 close.
2. Relay 28 in the elctrical central unit (11 on the diagram) is activated.
This will brake the feed to the main switch 13.
3. The switch for cab movement 12 gets no feed and the cab cannot
be repositioned.

Support jacks
Certain machines are equipped with support jacks in order to
increase the capacity in the third container row. The support
jacks are controlled with a switch in the operator's cab. A
hydraulic cylinder affects a linkage system which presses the
support jack down and thereby reduces the load center by
600 mm, which increases the third row capacity.
As the support jacks have left their upper position, a red
warning lamp will light up simultaneously as the transmission is
disengaged. When the support jacks have reached the bottom
position'a green lamp will light up. Furthermore, the overload
safety system changes load curve. Asa result of this, the higher
capacity (+7 tonnes) in container row 3 can be utilized.
The upper and lower support jack positions are controlled by
inductive sensors which are connected to the overload safety
system.
If overload occurs, the support jacks can be lowered. On the
contrary, the support jacks cannot be raised until the overload is
neutralized by disengaging the load or retracting the boom.

Converter
The useful life of the converters is ndrmallY the same as that of
other hydraulic components. No mai~tenance
I in the true sense
is required, but check at regular interyals that the mounting
screws have not worked loose.
Control units 1 and 2 (IPS 302)

The control units need no actual mairtenance. To change the
circuit board, proceed as follows:
1. Isolate'the power supply by opening the main switch.

I
2. Rem~ve the two screws retainingl the ~1~stiCcover and

remove the cover. I
3. Remove the four screws retaining the black light-alloy cover

and remove the cover.
4. Remove the screw securing the ~ottom of the circuit board

to the cooling . and mounting rail. ,I
I
5. Withdraw the circuit board by harid, taking care not to

damage the components. The board is a relatively tight fit in
the edge connector. I
6. Fit the new circuit board. Ensure that it is located in the

guides on the sides of the case and that the bottom connec-
tor engages. Press down the bo~rd firmly and refit the
screw.
7. Refit the cover.
Cables and wiring I
Long experience has shown that mqst electrical faults are due
to defective cables. So check the fol,lowing at regular intervals:
1. Check that none of the cables is physically damaged.

2. Check that none of the connectidns has worked loose.
3. Check that there is no risk of shdrt-circuits due to water

leakage into sensitive parts. Chetk in particular the connec-
tions to the converters. I

Trimming of the electro-hydraulic servo system

using a measuring instrument
Trimming may be necessary for a number of reasons, such as
after replacement of the circuit board, replacement of the
alternator or battery which will alter the supply voltage, replace-
ment of a converter, etc ..
The. most reliable method of trimming is to use a universal
meter with a range of 0 - 1000mA. Connect the universal meter
between the control unit and the converter for the relevant
function. This requires a special cable which allows the univer-
sal meter to be connected in series'. The connection points are
shown in the circuit diagram ..
1. Check the system specifications:

- Supply voltage at least 24 V ,---
- Supply voltage to control lever approx. 8 V
- Hydraulic servo pressure 30-40 bar
2. Remove the plastic cover from the control units. Use the
trimming potentiometers on the top of the units. Each con-
verter corresponds to one group (see figure);' Each group
consists of an LED, and MIN and MAX potentiometers. The
LED will light up when the corresponding function is in
operation.
When the starting value P1 is adjusted by means of the MIN

potentiometer, the entire pressure curve will be displaced in
parallel. As a result, the final pressure P2 will change as much
as P1 (see the graph below) and the idle travel of the lever will
increase or decrease.
The MAX potentiometer alters only the slope of the pressure
curve, Le. the starting pressure will remain unaltered when the
MAX potentiometer is adjusted, but the slope of the curve and
the final pressure will change (see the Potentiometer function
graph).
3. Start the machine and run the engine up to operating speed.

The engine must be at normal operating temperature before
measurement is started.
4. Connect the universal meter to the appropriate function.
5. Move the lever slowly in the direction corresponding to the

relevant function until the corresponding LED lights up.
Move the lever further in the same direction until the hydrau-
lic function just begins to move. Read the universal meter.
6. Release the lever to the neutral position.
7. Move the lever in the same direction again until the LED
lights up.
8. Turn the MIN potentiometer until the reading of the universal

meter is the same as that in point 5. above. The starting
point of the curve is now preset. The control lever should
have the required idle travel from the neutral position.
9. Move the lever to the limit of its travel in the direction corres-
ponding to the relevant function.

1a.Adjust the MAX potentiometer until the universal meter

reading is 400 • 600 mA. - -
11.Test the function and adjust the MAX potentiometer upwards

until the required speed of the function is obtained (the
actual speed depends on .the function). Note that the lowe-
ring brake valve will determine the lowering rate. The MAX
potentiometer must thus not be set so that it limits the
speed.
Trimming without measuring instrument

If no universal meter or cable is available, trimming may still be
carried out as described below, although it will be somewhat
less reliable:
1. Turn all potentiometers concerned to the anti-clockwise limit

of travel.
2. Turn the MAX potentiometers clockwise through about one

turn.
3. Use the MIN potentiometer to set the required starting

pressure for that particular function, Le. so that starting and
stopping will take place smoothly, without jerks and without.
unnecessary idle travel.
4. Set the maximum speed of that particular function by means

of the MAX potentiometer
- clockwise adjustment increases the final speed
- anti-clockwise adjustment reduces the final speed
5.After the system has been adjusted, use only the MAX
potentiometer for individual adjustment of the speeds.
Testing after trimming

1. Start the machine and check that each function starts
smoothly and without excessive idle travel.
2. Check that all functions can be operated simultaneously at

both high and low engine speeds without affecting one
another.
3. If the idle travel of the lever is excessive, increase the

starting pressure by turning the MIN potentiometer
clockwise.
N.S. Turn the potentiometers very carefully. If the idle travel
cannot be eliminated by adjustment, the potentiometer in the
control lever unit is probably defective.
4. If the final speed of any function is too low, turn the MAX
potentiometer clockwise to the required position.
5. If the final speed of any function is too high, turn the MAX
potentiometer anti-clockwise to the required position.

Fault-tracing in the electro-hydraulic

servo system '
Preparatory work
1. Always check the system specifications
- minimum supply voltage' of 24 V
- hydraulic servo pressure 30 - 40 bar
- supply voltage to the control lever unit approx. 8V
Fault symptoms
- No response to lever movement
Uncontrolled movements
Jerky movements
Excess play in the control lever
Too high a speed
Too Iowa speed
Oscillations
Failure of individual functions
Miscellaneous defects
.No response to lever movement

1. Check that the supply pressure to the converters is 30 - 40
bar.
2. Disconnect the connector from the converter and'measure

the full output voltage as described under "Description".
- If the voltage is correct, press the emergency operating
button of the converter and check that output voltage is
obtained. If so, the converter is defective and must be
replaced.
- If the voltage is not controlled correctly, the fault is in the
electrical components or the wiring.
3. Check the control lever unit for the relevant function.
4. Check whether the ERROR lanip is alight on any of the

regulator units.
- Shut off the hydraulics
- Set the lever to neutral.
- Remove the plastic cover from the control unit.
- Depress the ERROR RESET button through the hole.

The button is very easy to operate.
- If the ERROR lamp lights up ,again when the button is

released, press the ERROR RESET button again and
keep it depressed.
- Check which output LED is alight. This circuit board is

probably defective and must be replaced.

Uncontrolled movements
·1.' A function operates unintentionally when another is opetated.
- Check the wiring against the circuit diagram. The relevant
functions have been connected either in series or in
parallel.
2. A function has been started but fails to stop when the lever
is returned.
- Check that the hydraulic servo pressure is 30 - 40 bar.

Check that the pressure does not drop when a load is
applied ..
...• ~
- Check the converter which actuates the movement. Fit a
different converter and check the movement again. If the
function is not correct, the original converter was defective
and must be replaced.
Jerky movements when starting and stopping

1. Remove the plastic cover from the relevant control unit. See
the section entitled Description to determine where the
relevant function is located. Operate the lever to check
which LED is alight. Turn the MIN potentiometer adjacent to
this diode anti-clockwise.
2. If the reduction described in point 1. above provides a large

amount of lever play but the jerkiness persists, the converter
pilot valve may be sticking. Check by replacing the converter
with another unit which performs well in another function.
Excessive "dead" movement of the control lever

1. Adjust the start pressure by means of the MIN potentiometer
- Remove the plastic cover from the regulator unit. Check
which diodes lights up by moving the control lever. Turn
the MIN potentiometer for the relevant diode in a
clockwise direction.
2. If voltage adjustment does not help
- Check the lever unit.

Oscillations
1. All functions oscillate
- Check the supply voltage to the control unit. If the voltage

oscillates below 23V, the control unit will sometimes be
unable to stabilise these troughs and will transmit them to
the system as disturbances, usually at a low frequency.
2. Individual functions oscillate
- Vent the converter solenoid by' means of the screw on its

rear. Back off the screw to allow the pressure to expel the
air, and keep it open until drops of oil begin to escape
from the hole.
Failure of an individual function

This may be due to short-circuit in the wiring.
Miscellaneous faults
1. The red lamp lights up only when the corresponding
function in the lever has been actuated.
- Check that the electrical connection to the solenoid valve

on the corresponding converter has not worked loose.
- Check that the cable connected to the solenoid valve has

not failed.
2. The red lamp is switched off when the lever is not actuated.
- The lever does not return to neutral.
3. The red lamp does not light up.

Overload indicating system

.The overload' indication system oversees the front and rear
loads and warns the operator by means of warning lamps on
the panel in the cab. The system comprises A 11460.0100:
• A sensor on the steering axle suspension for indicating
frontal overload
• Two sensors onthe boom to indicate overload of steering
axle
• Lamp panel in the cab with:
- Red lamp for frontal overload
- Yellow lamp for overload of steering axle
- Green lamp indicating steering axle load ok
- Test button with a blue lamp for checking lamp functions
Frontal overload
With a frontal overload, when there is a risk that the truck will tip
forwards, a red lamp lights up. At the same time, the functions,
LIFT, LOWER and BOOM OUT are interrupted.
The signal for a frontal overload is transmitted by a sensor

"located on the steering axle suspension. The rear suspension
includes a pivoted joint that creates a "gap". When the maxi-
mum permitted load is exceeded and only the weight of the
steering axle remains as a counter-weight, this gap is used to
increase the distance between the sensor and the angle iron
that activates the sensor. When the gap is fully extended, the
signal from the sensor is interrupted, the red lamp lights up and
LIFT, LOWER and BOOM OUT functions are interrupted.
The system can result in the machine being "lifted to a stand

still" . To get out of such a situation, it is possible to make a by-
pass connection of the system with the help of a switch on the
hydraulic console. Once the by-pass connection has been
made, the BOOM IN and LOWER functions can be used.
Overloading the steering axle

There are two sensors on the boom, one for boom extension
and one for boom angle. When the boom is extended less than
1 metre and the angle of the boom is greater than 42° the signal
from the sensors is interrupted and the yellow lamp on the
panel lights up, which means that there is a risk that the load on
the steering axle is becoming too great.
The system is so connected that at low speed and in a low

gear, the green lamp lights' up, despite the risk of overload.
Sensors
The sensors used are of the same type for all functions. In
normal positions they transmit a signal, that is, when the sensor
activator is a maximum of 5 mm in front of the sensor. On the
sensor there are two diodes used to check the functions of the
sensor. A green diode for connected current and a red diode for
transmitted signal.
The sensor for frontal overload is connected so that an

interruption in the signal from the sensor interrupts the function
of the whole servo system - in other words, it is not possible to

The SNP 300 system is available in four different versions:

SNP 301: overload safety system with interruption of functions
SNP 302: As 301 but added with load indicator and vertical lift
function
SNP 303: Only load indicat.or (scales)
SNP 304: Only vertical lift function
AILsystems include, see also electric diagram:
- electronic control unit
- length sensor for boom outreach
- angle sensor for boom angle
- pressure sensor for lift cylinder pressure (Not SNP 304)
The control unit comprises printed circuit board mith micro-
processor, pointer instrument and warning lamps. All
adjustment potentiometers are located on the printed circuit
board. To facilitate calibration, each potentiometer is combined
with a LED-diode showing either red or green light or is
extinguished.
The input signals to the microprocessor are:
- boom length
- boom angle
- lift cylinder pressure
- control lever position
- vertical lift button signal
The microprocessor calculates:
- outreach from drive axle centre to load centre
- permissible load at the actual outreach
- the actual load
The systems SNP 301 and 302 interrupt machine functions both
at forward and backward overload. The utilized forward capacity
is shown on a green/red analogue instrument scale. Backward
overload, e.g. steered axle overload, is indicated first with a
yellow and then with a red warning lamp. When the red lamp
lights up, the functions LIFT and BOOM OUT are interrupted.
The SNP 303 system has a digital display which'shows the
actual load or, alternatively, the outreach. The choice between
load and outreach is controlled with the vertical lift button.
The SNP 304 system comprises a digital display for outreach
monitoring.

The automatic electric gear-changirig system is based on a
control unit incorporating a microprocessor.
The control unit has connec~ions fo~

- Gear-changing control
- Display (programming unit for programming)
- Solenoid valves on the transmission
- Speed sensor on the torque converter and transmission
Control unit
The control unit is simple to program, even while the truck is in
operation. It measures the speed oflrotation with high accuracy
and stability, and it has fully programmable outputs for gear
selection.

The LED is alight when power supply is available to the control

unit and the unit is sufficiently warml to operate. (The electronics
will be automatically switched off when the temperature inside
the case is below O°C.)
Red HEATER LED

The LED is alight when the heater in the case is switched on.
Heating is controlled by an electroni'c thermostat, so that the
temperature will quickly rise to the operating temperature of
20°C.

Safety functions
'These functions are always active.
Reversing protection: In the neutral position, the control unit

inhibits gear engagement if ~he speed of the output shaft is in
excess of a prQgrammed limit (REV PROT).
Speed sensor: When the speed exceeds a certain minimum

value (SENS CHECK), a check is made to ensure that the
tachometer pulses are received regularly. If the rate should
suddenly-change, this is interpreted as the sensor being inope-
rative. The transmission is shifted to neutral and the fault output
is activated. The display shows SENS. This condition can be
acknowledged by means of the reset button.
Short-circuit protection: If any of the outputs is short-circuited,

all outputs will be de-energised so that improper gear engage-
ment will not be initiated. This condition can be acknowledged
by means of the reset button.
Other functions
Selectable function (REENTER IF REV): If the transmission has
been shifted from a particular gear to neutral, the gear can be
re-engaged if the speed of rotation is still within the correct
range.
Tachometer
To facilitate programming, built-in opportunities are available for
direct indication of the transmission speed and engine speed (if
AUX1 is used). This function is activated by depressing the
reset button when there is no fault to acknowledge. When the
button is depressed, the display first shows the speed which will
be displayed (TRANS or ENGINE) and, after a brief pause, the
speed will be displayed. To revert to the display showing the
gear which has been selected, depress the reset button again.
If AUX1 is used for engine speed control, the transmission
speed and the engine speed are displayed alternately.
Temperature monitoring
Since the control unit has standard circuits with a temperature
range of 0 - 70 DC, it cannot be operated when the temperature
in the case is below 0 DC.
A thermistor on the circuit board senses the temperature inside

the case. If the temperature should drop below approx. 5 DC,
-I
the supply to all logic on the circuit board will be isolated and
the fault output will be activated. Nothing will be shown on the
display, since the display is dependent on the microprocessor.
The green LED will be switched off.
The same thermistor is also used for controlling a 15W heating

element in the case, so that the control unit will quickly become
usable. This heater delivers full output when the temperature is
below 5 DC, and the output then tapers off to zero at 20 DC.
A temperature fuse which blows at 60 DC is provided inside the

case to prevent overheating. This fuse interrupts the power
supply to all logic circuits and the heater element. If the thermal
fuse has blown, it must be replaced.

General
The engine TWD1 030ME or TWD1230ME is a 6-cylinder, -inline,
4-stroke diesel engine with overhead valves. The engine is
turbocharged, i.e. combustion air is supplied under pressure. As
a result, the quantity of fuel injected can be increased, which
increases the ~ngine output. The turbocharger is driven by the
exhaust gases and uses energy that would otherwise be lost.

The engine is pressure-lubricated and incorporates an oil pump

which delivers oil to all lubrication· points. A full-flow oil filter
effectively cleans the lubricating oil. The fuel system is
protected against impurities by replaceable filters. The engine
has replaceable wet cylinder liners. The engine has separate,
mutually interchangeable cylinder heads for each cylinder.

The following description is valid for both 1030ME and

, 1230ME if not otherwise stated.
Cooli.ng system
The engine is liquid-cooled and equipped with a closed cooling
system consisting of the following main components: .
• Thermostat
Radiator
Gearbox
Coolant fan
oilcooler
pump cooler
passages
Engine oil
•
The coolant flows through a longitudinal passage into the

engine block. The opening into the cooling jacket of each
cylinder is individually sized to ensure that each cylinder will be
supplied with the same rate of coolant flow.
The coolant flows in the separate return ·Iines converge into a

common pipe in the thermostat housing. The coolant then flows
to the coolant pump and then into the engine and to the oil
cooler.
When the engine has reached its normal operating temperature,

the thermostat will open the circuit to the radiator.
The piston-type thermostat is capable of passing a high coolant

flow rate at a minimum of pressure drop, thus contributing to
favourable coolant circulation in the engine.
The coolant pump is gear-driven with high capacity.

The cooling system is equipped with a sensor which activates

the "Low coolant level" warning lamp on the instrument panel,
see group 20.
The engine lubricating oil is cooled efficiently and reliably in a

separately mounted tubular oil cooler. The gearbox oil is also
cooled by the engine coolant; but in a separate shell-and-tube
cooler.

Fuel system
. The fuel circulates in two circuits - the high-pressure circuit and
the low-pressure circuit. When the engine is started, the feed
pump draws fuel from the tank and delivers it at relatively low
pressure through fine filters up to the injection pump. This then
delivers fuel at ,high pressure' to the injectors which supply the
fuel in atomised form to the engine combustion chambers.
Excess fuel which is circulated in the low-pressure system is

also cleaned in the fine filters and is returned through a spill
valve back to the tank.
The fuel system includes the following components:

Fuel tank - a separate unit located on the left-hand side of the
truck. The fuel volume in the tank can be read on a gauge on
r
the instrument panel.
Feed pump - of piston type, supplies fuel at a certain pressure

and flow rate to t~e injection pump.
Spill valve - which restricts the fuel feed pressure and provides
continuous venting of the fuel system. Excess fuel flows through
the injection pump before returning to the tank, thus cooling the
fuel in the fuel chamber of the pump, which contributes to more
uniform distribution of the fuel to the various cylinders.

'pump in the oil sump. Alllubricating9i1 flows through a double
full-flow filters.
The lubricating. oil is cooled in an externally mounted tubular oil

cooler by the engine coolant.
The lubricating system includes the following main components:

Oil pump - of gear type, which draws oil through a coarse
strainer that arrests larger particles. The pump delivers oil
through the lubricating oil filters to the variqus passages of the
lubricating system.
Piston cooling - reduces substantially the piston temperature

which, in turn, contributes to a longer life of the piston rings,
reduces the risk of carbon deposits and lowers the oil consump-
tion.
The pistons are cooled by oil which is sprayed by nozzles into

the underside of each piston and into the cooling passages
when the pistC?nis at the bottom dead centre.
Cooling is controlled by a piston cooling valve which shuts off

the cooling oil supply at low engine speeds. This ensures that
the lubricating oil flow will be a maximum when the engine is
started and when it is running at idling speed. The valve also
Piston cooling restricts the pressure of the piston cooling oil at high engine
speeds, to make more oil available for lubrication.

Reducing valve - located just before the filter. The valve will

excess oil back to the sump.
Oil filter - of full-flow type, with a filter element of pleated filter

paper. To protect the engine against insufficient lubricating oil, a
by-pass valve is fitted in the oil filter bracket. The valve will open
if the lubricating oil pressure should rise above a certain pressu-
re due to clogging of the filter. When the valve is open, unfilte-
red oil will flow to the engine. The filters are of disposable type
and should be scrapped after use.

Crankcase ventilation - prevents pressurising of the crank-
case and collects fuel vapour, steam and other gaseous pro-
ducts of combustion. Crankcase ventilation is provided by a
pipe connected to the crankcase inspection cover on the right-

Combustion air system

Large quantities'of air are necessary for burning the fuel stJpp-
lied to the engine. Free; unrestricted flow of fresh air and
exhaust gases is therefore essential to allow the engine to run
efficiently.
Air cleaner
The intake air is cleaned in a two-stage air cleaner, the first
stage of which collects coarse particles by cyclone action, and
the particles are disposed of through a particle ejector. The
second stage consists of a filter element - the main filter ele-
ment. Apressure indicator shows red sigDa! jf the pressure drop
in the filter exceeds approximately 500 mm water column. At
this point the filter insert should be replaced. A safety filter
element is located on the inside of the main element. The safety
element prevents the ingress of impurities into the engine while
the main element is being changed and if the main element
should sustain damage while the engine is running, e.g. due to
incorrect installation.

Turbocharger
The turbocharger supplies more air to the combustion cham-
bers than the engine would be capable of drawing naturally.
This enables the engine to burn more fuel which, in turn, increa-
ses the engine output.
1 The turbocharger consists ot' a turbine wheel and a centrifugal
compressor impeller, each with a separate casing but mounted
on a common shaft.
The exhaust gases provide the energy necessary for driving the
4 turbine wheel which, in turn, drives the compressor.
¢ The turbocharger is lubricated and coo1ed.by the lubricating oil

from the engine.
Intercooler
In intercooling, the air that has been compressed and heated by
the turbo is cooled in an intercooler.
The intercooler increases the oxygen supply during combustion

so allowing the injected fuel to be burnt more effectively whilst
reducing fuel consumption as well as the level of exhaust
emission.
Intercooling also reduces the thermal stressed on the engine,

increasing durability and reducing oil consumption.

Quality of diesel fuel

Diesel fuel conforming to DIN 5160t, SIS 155432, CEC-ERF-
01 or ASTM-D975-No.2 should be used. The fuel should have
the lowest possible sulphur content.
N.S. When light diesel (e.g. Dipolar) is used, follow the
engine manufi[lcturer's recommendations concerning the
addition of extra lubricant, etc., since the injection pump
may otherwise be damaged. Also note that light diesel
includes a certain percentage of paraffin (kerosene), which
reduces the engine output.
Coolant, quality P.
Throughout the year, the coolant should consist of a mixture of
60% of water and 40% of ethylene glycol. The coolant should
be changed and the cooling system should be flushed once a
year.
Always add a corrosion inhibitor (Kalmar LMV part No.

923.110.0003) to the coolant, if the above mixture is not used in
the cooling system.
N.B. Never add a corrosion inhibitor if the cooling system

contains glycol, since this would cause foaming which seriously
impairs the cooling capacity.
Lubricating oil quality

See Group 90, Periodic supervision.
Draining the water from the fuel tank

Drain any water from the fuel tank by removing the drain plug.
Immediately refit the drain plug as soon as the flow of fuel is
free from water and other impurities.
Inspection of the air cleaner and changing the

filter element
Check the indicator when the engine is running. If it shows red,
the main filter element must be changed. The collecting efficien-
cy of the filter element will not be improved if the element is
changed too early. But if changing of the filter element is de-
layed, smoke emission from the engine will increase, the engine
may lose power due to insufficient supply of combustion air, and
1 2 engine damage may occur in certain cases.
The air pipe from the air cleaner to the engine" should be check-
ed for tightness from time to time. Minor leakage, such as that
caused by loose hose clips, and damaged or porous hoses may
cause dust to be drawn into the engine, which will give rise to
il~
costly engine wear.
." Change the filter element as follows:
1. The engine must not be running.

KL204
2. Clean the outside of the air cleaner.
1. Main filter insert 3. Remove and clean the dust receiver.

2. Safety filter element
4. Release and carefully remove the main filter element. Do not
remove the safety filter element.
({Kalmar
ContChamp -DC-RS Engine ~::::'." 9129 96-03 30 15
Technical Handbook Service Pub!. IGr.1 P.
5. Fit a new main filter element. Carefully check that it is not

damaged. Note on the safety filter element when the main
element was replaced.
6. Change the safety filter element:

- after the main filter element has been changed five times
- at least every other year
- if the indicator shows red after the main element has been
changed
- if the engine has been run with the main element damaged
The safety filter element must not be clean~d and reused. The
engine must not be run without the main "filter element. If the
main element must be cleaned and refitted in emergency cases,
don't use compressed air to clean it, since the filter element
may be damaged. Before refitting it, carefully check that the
main filter element is undamaged.
Changing the oil and oil filter
N.B. Before draining the oil, make sure that it is at normal

working temperature.
1. Remove the drain plug from the underside of the sump and
drain the oil.
2. Clean the area round the filters and place a tray under the
filters to collect any spillage.
3. Remove and discard the filter canisters, which are of dispo-

sable type.
4. Pour clean oil into the centre of the new filters, wait until the
oil has seeped through the filter paper and top up until the
filters are full.
5. Lubricate the canister seals with oil.
6. Fit the new filters and tighten them - by hand only.
7. Fill the engine with oil (see Group 90, Lubrication chart).
8. Run the engine and check that no oil leaks at the filters.
9. Stop the engine and check the oil level after a few minutes.
Top up as necessary to the MAX level on the dipstick.
N.B. To avoid serious damage to the engine, use only

genuine Kalmar LMV filters.
Checking the V-belt tension

1. Check at regular intervals that the V-belts are correctly
tensioned. It should not be possible to depress the V-belt
more than 1 °-12 mm mid-way between the pulleys.
2. The engines are equipped with an automatic belt tensioner

which maintains the belt tension constant.
N.B. If the belt drive consists of two belts, always change

both belts.

Maintenance of the exhaust gas cleaner

The exhaust-gas cleaner of a well maintained engine needs
hardly any maintenance. Yet, an iterativ check-up for carboniza-
tion ought to be made, appro twice a year. If necessary dis-
mount and clean the exhaust-gas cleaner as follows:
1. Loosen the tube clamps and remove the cleaner.
2. Dry-brush the cleaner on the intake-side.
3. Clean with pressured air from the exhaust-side.
4. Soak the cleaner in soap-water for, at least, one hour.
5. Clean with pressured air from the exhaust-side.
6. Clean with high-pressured water (0.3 MPa max.) from the

exhaust side.
7. Dry with pressured air.

The transmission consists of a torque converter integrated with

the gearbox, and a propeller shaft, driven axle with differential,
hub reductions and brakes.
The torque converter and gearbox run together, using a. com-

mon hydraulic system. The torque converter can be regarded
as a hydraulic coupling and is located between the engine
output shaft and the gearbox input shaft.
Torque converter
The most important components of the torque converter are the
pump impeller, turbine wheel and stator. Engine power is
transmitted mechanically to the pump impeller. The impeller
starts an oil flow in the torque converter, and is comparable to a
centrifugal pump which draws oil into the centre and discharges
it at the periphery.
The turbin wheel is located opposite the pump impeller and is

and thus necessitating wheel back to the inside diameter of the pump impeller in the
expensive overhaul. best possible way.
Torque conversion takes place in the oil circuit of the torque

converter. When the load on the truck increases, Le. when the
torque required increases, the turbine wheel slows down in
relation to the pump impeller, and the oil flowing through the
stator then increases the torque.
The output torque gradually increases as the speed of the

output shaft decreases and is a maximum when the output shaft
and thus also the turbine wheel are stationary, Le. are stalled,
see Techincal data.
Gearbox
The gearbox is of constant-mesh type. Gear-changing is carried
out by clutch plates for the various gears being hydraulically
actuated.
The valve body mounted on the side of the gearbox includes

spool valves which guide the oil flow to the various clutches.
The spools are activated in turn by solenoid valves. These are
activated electrically by the gear selector in the cab. As an
optional extra an automatic gear changing system is available.
See Group 20.
The gearbox has four ratios in each direction and is also

provided with disengagement, which is actuated by the brake
pedal and comes into operation at a certain brake pressure.

- to transport any solid particles to the filter.
When the engine is running, the oil pump draws oil through a
suction strainer from the gearbox sump and then delivers it
through a fine filter to a pressure regulating valve.
The regulating valve delivers oil at the right pressure to the

gearbox valve body, which actuates the clutch plates for For-
ward/Reverse and 1st/2nd/3rd/4th. The clutches use only a
small proportion of oil delivered by the pump. The remainder is
fed through the torque converter circuit to the oil cooler, and
retums to the gearbox for lubrication.

The Rockwell PRC 5324 drive axle features two-stage reduction

(differential and.hub) ..
Rockwell planetary axles permit the bevel or hypoid gearing of

the carrier and the axle shafts to carry only a nominal torsional
load while at the same time providing the highest practical gear
reduction ratio at the wheels.
The differential assembly employs a heavy duty hypoid drive

pinion and ring gear. The differential and gear assembly is
mounted on tapered roller bearings. The straddle mounted
pinion ha~ two tapered roller bearings in front of the pinion teeth
which take the forward and reverse thrusfanda third bearing
behind the pinion teeth to carry the radial load.
The hub reduction consists of a planetary gear. Each hub

reduction consists of a sun wheel, three planet wheels which
rotate around the sun wheel, and a ring gear surrounding the
planet wheels.
The hub reduction consists of a planetary gear with sun gear,

three planet spur gears and a floating ring gear.
The spur teeth of the sun gear (which floats) mesh with the
teeth of the planet spur gears. The planet spur gears rotate on
planet pins which are mounted in a spider. The planet spur
teeth, in turn, mesh with the teeth of the floating ring gear.
Power is transmitted by the pinion and gear of the differential to

the axle shafts driving the sun gear of the second reduction,
through the revolving planet gears, and then to the planetery
spider which drives the wheel hub.
The axle is equipped with an oil-cooled brake system - the wet

disk brake system.

WDB-system
The wet disc brake system is maintenance free, being immune
to wear. Neither are the brakes prone to the fading which
normally occurs under tough operating conditions. Furthermore,
adjustment of the brakes is not required.
The brakes consist of a series of stationary and rotary discs
arranged altemately. The stationary discs are anchored (spli-
ned) to the brake housing. The friction discs fit between the
stationary discs and revolve with the wheel hub. Hydraulic
pressure supplied by the accumulator when the brake pedal is
operated' moves a large hydraulic piston outwards which in turn
pushes the discs together to slow the rotation of the re-volving
friction discs. This slows the motion of each wheel hub and
stops the vehicle.
The system is fully enclosed, thereby effectively excluding all
dirt and contamination.
A cooling circuit is provided to dissipate the heat produced

,when braking. The cooling circuit uses fluid from the general
hydraulic system, which means that the total volume of hydrau-
lic fluid in the truck participates in the cooling process.

Parking brake system

The parking brake, which is of the disc type, is mounted on the
drive axle input shaft. The brake is operated by a heavy-duty
spring in the parking brake cylinder and is released by hydraulic
pressure, counteracting the spring force. The brake cylinder and
the caliper ass~mbly form an integral unit. The hydraulic press-
ure is applied via the parking brake control lever in the opera-
tor's cab.
The parking brake can also be used as an emergency brake.

Emergency braking causes heavy wear to the brake pads.
Therefore.the brake pads have to be changed after two
emergency brake operations.

The steering axle is supported by a pendulum suspension and

is operated by a double-acting steering cylinder. The
mechanism includes the smallest possible number of moving
parts to mini mise the number of service points and to simplify
maintenance.
The mounting in the chassis comprises entirely maintenance-

free rubber elements. On certain machines, the rear suspen-
sion is fitted with a pivoted joint. This is used to indicate a too
low loading of the steering axle, i.e. the risk of tipping forwards.
When only the weight of the steering axle remains, a "gap" is
created which is indicated by a sensor. See further description
under Group 20, overload indication system.
The knuckle pins and wheel axles are mounted in taper roller
bearings. The hydraulic circuits of the steering system are
described in Group 70.

General
The hydraulic system consists of the following sub-systems.
• Main hydraulics comprising
- Servo system supplying the electro-hydraulic syste.m.

- Telescoping of the boom
- Lifting/lowering of the boom
- Rotation of attachment
- Length adjustment of the top-lift frame
- Sideshifting
- Locking/unlocking twist-locks
• Foot-brake system - WDS hydraulically operated, oil-cooled

multi-disc brake system with circuit
• Parking brake system consisting of a disc brake on the drive

axle input shaft. Applied by spring force and released
hydraulically.
• Steering system
Principle of the electro-hydraulic servo system

The main hydraulics are controlled by means of an electro-
hydraulic servo system, the basic arrangement of which is
shown diagrammatically on the next page.
Each function of the hydraulic system is controlled by a total of

three individual sub-systems - electric servos, hydraulic servos
and main hydraulics.
The control unit in the electrical system is supplied at the

battery voltage of 24V. The control unit delivers a pulsed d.c.
output to the coordinate lever's potentiometer for each function.
The signal is modulated by the amount of movement of the
lever and is retumed to the control unit for amplification.
The amplified signal is then fed to the converters - one for each
lift and lower and a further two for boom out and in. The
converters are electrically controlled pressure reduction valves
which converts the electrical signal to a proportional hydraulic
servo pressure.
The servo pressure, in turn, actuates the operating spool of the

main valve and thereby controls the main flow.
Main valve 2 has no converters but retains the servo pressure

from the converters for main valve 1. (If the truck is equipped
with a vertical lift then main valve 2 is also equipped with
converters).
The pressure regulating valve for the servo circuit receives its
pressures from pump 1 or 4 and delivers 30-35 bar servo
pressure to the converters. An accumulator on the valve
ensures that servo pressure is available even if the engine
should temporarily stop.

Main hydraulics, feed

The truck's main hydraulics are fed by four different pumps.
Pump 1 feeds one main valve for lift and boom extension
together with a pressure regulator valve for the hydrauli~ servo.
Pump 2 feeds the brake system, see separate description.
Pump 3 feeds the other main valve for lift and boom extension
Pump 4 feeds the steering system and the attachment via a

priority valve together with a pressure regulator valve for the
hydraulic 'servo. The priority valve ensures that the requirements
of the steering system are always satisfiediirst and feeds the
remaining flow to the different functions of the attachment.
Both main valves are connected in parallel, both for the servo
and the main flow, which makes maximum use of the pump's
capacity for lift and boom extension.
The pumps draw hydraulic fluid from the hydraulic tank which is
located on the right hand side of the truck. The pressurized fluid
travels from the pumps to high pressure filters for cleaning
before circulating in the system.
The hydraulic system is controlled from the cab by means of a

coordinate lever a collection of switches.

When the lift cylinder is in the lowest position and the lift lever
not activated, the piston is held in the closed position by means
of spring pressure and by the pressure through the solenoid
valve. When lifting, hydraulic fluid is fed to inlet A, the solenoid
valve opens and dispreses the pressure to the tank. The
pressure on the piston is thereby relieved, which opens and
releases hydraulic fluid through outlet B to the lift cylinder. The
opening pressure is 2.5 bar.
The valve holds the load by means of the fluid pressure from
the lift cylinder to outlet B. The pressure flows via the check

Telescoping of boom
The extension cylinder is fed with hydraulic pressure from'one
section of each main valve. The flow from two hydraulic pumps
is thereby utilized.
Main valve
An over-centre,valve is located in each of the feed lines. These
prevent the boom retracting too quickly due to the weight of the
load. They also act as a safeguard against hose fractures.
Over-centre valve
The over-centre valve contains a counter-pressure valve that
opens with the pilot pressure from the piston rod side of the
extension cylinder. A shuttle valve allows a free flow of hydrau-
Cylinder lic fluid to the extension cylinder with the BOOM OUT. For
BOOM IN the pressure on the piston rod side must increase to
at least 1.3 times the pressure created by the loaded piston.
Then the over-centre valve is opened by the pilot pressure and

Hydraulic fluid
'. The hydraulic·fluid tank is located on the right-hand side of the
truck.
Check the fluid level on the fluid sight-glass, with all hydraulic
pistons in the bottom positions.
/
Top up the hydraulic fluid as necessary. See the Specification
for the oil grades.
If the truck has an oil-cooled wet disc brake system, any

hydraul~ oil used for topping-up should c~>ntain 6% of Lubrizol
additive which is necessary for good performance of the brake
system.
The additive is not consumed during normal operation and

must only be added at oil change and refill. Lubrizol may be
ordered from Kalmar LMV Service department.
CAUTION! Hydraulic fluid with Lubrizol additive is
chemically aggressive. Avoid extended contact with the
skin.
Hydraulic oil filter

The high pressure filter for the hydraulic oil must be changed at
the intervals specified in the lubrication chart. In addition, the
filter must always be changed whenever work has been carried
out on the hydraulic system.
1. Clean the outside of the filter and the area around it.
2. Place a vessel under the filter to collect any spillage.
3. Remove the filter bowl. Use an open-ended or ring spanner.
4. Remove the filter cartridge.
5. Replace the a-ring between the filter head and the bowl
and the a-rings on the adapter. The a-rings are packed
together with the filter cartridge.
6. Lubricate the a-ring for the filter head with hydraulic oil.
7. Remove the filter cartridge from its package and fit in

immediately.
8. Carefully clean the filter bowl and fill it half-full with hydrau-
lic oil.
9. Fit the bowl and tighten it.
10. Start the engine to purge the system of air, and check that
the filter does not leak.
Breather filter
Change the breather filters every 1000 hours. In dusty
conditions, replacement may be necessary more frequently.

Steering system
The steering system is supplied from hydraulic pump 4, which
. also supplies the main hydraulics for the attachment.
A priority valve ensures that,the steering valve will always be

supplied with a.sufficient amount of fluid. Any remaining fluid is
routed to the main hydraulics.
A certain signal pressure at connection CF in the priority valve

is always in communication with pressure connection P of the
steering valve. As soon as the steering wheel is operated, a
load signal LS will immediately be applied, to the priority valve
which changes over and supplies a sufficient quantity of fluid to
the steering valve.
The pressure in the steering system is determined by a relief

valve in the priority valve.

with a load signal connection to the priority valve. The load
signal ensures load-dependent control of the flow from the

priority valve to the steering valve. The closed-center feature
means that th~ valve shuts off the flow between the pump and
the tank when the valve is in the neutral position. This is neces-
sary to enable a load signal to be connected to the steering
valve.

Main valve
The main valves are of precision type and must be handled
with great care to safeguard their good performance. The
following rules apply to service work:
1. Never use .the spool ends or housings for clamping or

3 gripping when lifting a valve block.
2. Never subject spool ends or housings to blows or shocks.

Rough treatment may deform the spool, which will lead to
.immediate seizure.
3. Protect the valves from moisture and dirt. Take particular

care to prevent dirt from entering the connection ports.
Protect the ports and other joint faces to prevent scoring
and bruising: Keep unconnected ports plugged with plastic
plugs or the like.
4. When fitting pipes and hose couplings, observe meticulous

cleanliness. Make sure that no swarf, flakes of paint or other
impurities enter the valve. To avoid unnecessary stresses in
the valve, do not overtighten the couplings.
Main valve - adjusting the supply pressure

The supply pressure to the main valve is determined by the
main pressure limiting valve.
This is located in the inlet section (see figure). When adjusting:
- Release the locknut and turn the adjusting screw the projec-
ting pin with a drilled hole.
- Check the pressure by connecting a pressure gauge to the

WDS brake system

This system is known as the wet disc brake system, in which
each hub is equipped with a multiple~disc assembly.The disc
assembly comprises stationary discs arranged alternately with c
number of rotating discs. The disc assembly is compressed by
hydraulic pres1:!ureto provide effective braking action, The
assembly is submerged in a hydraulic oil bath to dissipate the
heat generated by braking. A separate cooling circuit is provi-
ded to cool the hydraulic oil.
The advantages of the wet disc brake system include the fact
that no adjustment is needed, and that no fading or wear occur.
Moreover, the enclosed oil bath keeps the system completely
free from water and impurities.
The wet disc brake system comprises three separate hydraulic

circuits, Le. the foot-brake circuit, the cooling circuit and the
parking brake circuit.
All circuits are supplied with hydraulic fluid under pressure from
the hydraulic pump. The brake circuits are supplied from
hydraulic accumulators and the cooling circuit is supplied
directly from the pump over the accumulator charging valve.
The charging valve ensures that a minimum pressure will

always be maintained in the accumulators. During the charging
process, the charging valve serves as a priority valve, so that a
certain residual flow will be supplied to the cooling circuit. If the
engine runs at no load, the residual flow may be so small that
the flow in the cooling circuit engine will temporarily stop. When
the accumulator has been charged to full pressure, the chargin~
valve transfers the entire pump flow to the cooling circuit.

Cooling circuit
When the accumulators are charged, oil is fed to the cooling oil
cavities in the drive axle. A by-pass valve between the supply
and retum lines ensures that the cooling oil pressure will not
exceed 1,5 bar, in order to protect the drive axle,
The supply fluid, and optionally also the retum fluid, is thorough-
ly filtered. Since the suction and return lines of the cooling
system are both connected to the tank, the total hydraulic oil
volume of the truck will be involved in cooling, which contributes
to the excellent cooling capacity of the system.

The figures refer to the diagram for the WDB brake system.

Hydraulic accumulators
. The brake system is equipped with two accumulators which
ensure that hydraulic fluid under pressure will always be availa-
ble for the brake system.
The accumulators are of piston type and are precharged with
nitrogen to a pressure of 95 bar for the WDS system.
An accumulator consists of a cylinder made of pressure-vessel
steel, an aluminium piston which is free to move along the
entire cylinder length, and two end covers - for the gas supply at
the top and for connection to the hydraulic system at the bot-
tom. The latter is of safety type and is impossible to remove
unless the gas pressure has been compJetely relieved.
The hydraulic connection is connected to the brake system and
to the tank. The tank connection can be opened by means of
the accumulator discharge valve, the key for which is suspen-
f ded adjacent to the valve.
Warning! The hydraulic system contains accumulators

with high pressure. Always open the accumulator
discharge valve prior to any service work on the
hydraulic system.

Accumulator charging valve

The function of the' accumulator charging valve is to divert the
pump flow to the accumulator whenever the latter needs char-
ging. This ensures that the brake system is given priority and is
first to receive oil.
During charging, the pump delivers oil through a check valve to
the accumulator. A restriction limits the flow to a maximum of
approx. 17 Vmin. At the same time, pilot oil pressure is supplied
across the pilot valve to the main valve, where it is added to the
spring force and keeps the main valve closed.
When the accumulator has beencharged.the oil pressure from
the accumulator overcomes the spring forpe in the pilot valve
which changes over and relieves the pilot pressure to the tank.
The main valve changes over and opens the connection to the
cooling circuit motor.
The difference between the pressures at which charging is
started and stopped is determined by the difference in area
between the pressure and tank connections of the valve, and
amounts to about 18% of the pressure at which charging is
stopped, i.e. 'about 27 bar at a pressure of 150 bar and about
30 bar at 165 bar.

Hydraulic brake pedal

The hydraulic brake pedal consists of a direct-acting pressure-
reducing valve of three-way type des,igned for continuously
variable mechanical operation. The pressure-reducing valve
consists of the components shown in the figure.
When stop 4 is depressed by the pedal, the main spring acts on

the control piston which moves and closes outlet T to the tank.
The circuit between pressure connection P and brake line B is
then opened. As the pressure in the brake line increases, a pilot
pressure will act on the control piston through the pilot orifice,
counteracting the main spring load. As a r~ult. the brake
pressure will increase in proportion to the force exerted on the
pedal. If the pedal force is maintained constant, the brake line
B pressure will also be constant.

Parking brake
..-;;The parking brake consists of a disc brake with a brake cylinder
on the drive axle input shaft. The brake is applied by a heavy
spring in the brake cylinder.
The parking br.ake can also be used as an EMERGENCY

BRAKE. During emergency braking, the brake linings are
subjected to very heavy wear. The linings should therefore be
changed after two emergency braking operations.
The parking brake is released by hydraulic pressure being

supplied .to the cylinder to counteract the .spring force. All supply
is controlled by a manual valve which is open when the parking
brake is released.
When the parking brake is applied, the flow of oil to the brake
cylinder is interrupted and the oil in the cylinder is discharged to
the tank. The brake is then applied by the cylinder.
If the accumulator pressure should drop below 18 MPa, a
warning lamp will light up on the instrument panel.
,. I Parking brake valve

The parking brake valve is a direct-acting, three-way pressure- ..'
reducing valve. The pressure output is continuously variable,
although for practical use in the parking brake system, the
valve can be regarded as an ON/OFF valve.
To prevent inadvertent application of the parking brake, the

lever is provided with a latch which must be raised before the
lever can be moved.

3. Check the accumulator charging pressure.

- Connect a pressure gauge (0-250 bar) to the measure-
ment tapping on the accumulator charging valve.
- Use the pressure release valve to discharge the
accumulator. Close the valve, allow the accumulators to be
charged and read the charging pressure. Adjust the accu-

- If the adjustment must be repeated, discharge the accumu-
lators again, let them recharge, read the new charging
pressure, and so on.
4. Bleed the cooling circuit.

- A plug/bleed nipple is provided on the inside of each drive
axle hub. Open the nipple and keep it open until the oil
flowing out is completely free from air bubbles. Retighten
the plug/nipple while the engine is still running. N.B. Carry
this out at both hubs.
5. Check the pressure in the cooling circuit.

Connect a pressure gauge (0-25 bar) to the measurement
tapping on the distribution block at the drive axle.
- Check that the pressure is a maximum of 1.5 bar. The
pressure should normally be approx. 0.5 bar. If the pressu-
re is constantly 1.5 bar, the by-pass valve has presumably
opened. This, in turn, indicates a fault on the drive axle.

3. Scraper ring Use the screwdriver as shown in the figure.
- Clean all components very thoroughly.
5. Fitting of lip seals

- Fit the seal in the cylinder head with the lip facing inwards
towards the piston. Oil the seal and press it in by hand.
N.B. Don't use any tools, since the seal may otherwise be
scratched. Even a minute scratch may cause the seal to
leak.
6. Fitting the piston seal

- All piston seals are of the same design and consist of five
components, i.e. a centre sealing ring, two backing rings
and two guide rings.
- Dismantle the piston seal and start by fitting the sealing
ring onto the piston, and then fit the backing rings and the
guide rings. All of this must be done by hand.

Rotator
The rotator comprises an upper and a lower yoke connected to
each other by a gear wheel and and a powerful roller bearing,
which facilitate the rotation of the lower yoke in relation to the
upper yoke. The yoke is rotated by means of a hydraulic motor
provided with a. planetary gear and a multiple brake. The brake
is tightened by springs and discharged when the pressure,
needed for rotation, is built up.
The rotator is pivot mounted to the extension-boom.

2. Wearing of sliding plates on one side
- If the sliding plates are worn on one side, the boom will
be exposed to torsional stress. Therefore it is important
to check the plates regularly.
- The maximum difference in thickness allowed is 2 mm.

If this value is exceeded, the plates have to be dis-
mounted and plained or replaced.

Replacing sliding plates

1. Place the top-lift frame on a container.
2. Loosen the screws and remove the sliding plate.
3. When replacing sliding plates in the rear, extend the boom

until the plates are exposed.
Checking the gear clearance

An adjustment ought to be made every 10.000 hours.

Top lift frame

, The top lift frame is adjustable for 20-40' containers and is
constructed of welded steel profiles that run within each other
on sliding plates made of Robalon. The attachment is controlled
electro-hydraulically by means of the control lever in the
operator's cab .and has a main valve with three sections for
LENGTH ADJUSTMENTfTWIST-LOCKS, SIDESHIFTING AND
ROTATION. See separate hydraulic diagram.
Length adjustment is achieved by means of a chain driven by a

hydraulic motor. Extension rods are connected to the chain. For
30 and 35' containers there is a stop which can be
disconnected. The stop is activated by a sensor.
A sensor at one end of the extension rod activates a solenoid

valve approximately 300 mm from each end position. The
solenoid valve connects in a restrictor that reduces the exten-
sion speed so that the shock of the stop is reduced.
The top lift frame is pivot mounted in a cradle with sliding plates.
It is possible to sideshift the top-lift frame ±800 mm by means of
two hydraulic cylinders. The pivot mounting compensates for
uneven surfaces of up to ±4°.
Twist-locks
A spring loaded contact plate and a sensor at each twist-lock
are used to control and check the alignment. An electrical
locking system prevents twisting of the twist-locks before they
have fully entered the container locking holes. The system also
makes it impossible to release the twist-locks during a lift. When
all four contact plates are depressed, the ALIGNMENT lamp
lights up. Only then is it permissible to lock the twist-lock.
The twist-locks are connected in pairs to the locking cylinders

which, in turn, are activated by a switch on the instrument panel
in the cab. When the locking cylinders have twisted the twist-
locks 900 in the container locking holes, the TWIST -LOCKS
LOCKED lamp lights up. This indicates that both sides of the
frame are locked onto the container and the container is thereby
ready to be lifted.
The different functions of the top lift frame are describes in

detail in section Electro-servo, description group 20.

General survey
To extend the service life of the truck andto prevent the risk of
faults causing injury to personnel or damage to equipment, the
truck must be subjected to regular periodic supervision.
If the truck is used under conditions in which road traffic regula-

tions are applicable, the special maintenance instructions
issued by the authorities must be followed.
Special procedures are required on trucks used under difficult

conditions, such as in difficult terrain or for the transport of hot
goods. These. procedures are not dealt ~ith,here.
The intervals at which service measures are carried out can be

determined on the basis of the operating hour meter readings.
When carrying out a 1OOO-hourservice, it is advisable to work
