------ WARNING! ------

Personal injury or death can result from sudden machine movement.

Sudden movement of the machine can cause injury to persons on or near the machine.

Prevent possible injury by performing the procedure that follows before working on the machine.



NOTICE

Care must be taken to ensure that fluids are contained during performance of inspection, maintenance, testing, adjusting and repair of the product. Be prepared to collect the fluid with suitable containers before opening any compartment or disassembling any component containing fluids.

Refer to Special Publication, NENG2500, "AVSpare Tools and Shop Products Guide" for tools and supplies suitable to collect and contain fluids on AVSpare products.

Dispose of all fluids according to local regulations and mandates.


  1. Park the machine on a smooth, level surface.

  2. Shift the rocker switch for the transmission direction control to the NEUTRAL position.

  3. Lower the work tool to the ground.

  4. Engage the parking brake.

  5. Place blocks in front of the wheels and behind the wheels.

  6. Install the steering frame lock.

  7. Remove the front axle shafts and rear axle shafts except for stall tests.

  8. Allow only authorized personnel on the machine. Keep unauthorized personnel off the machine and in clear sight of the operator.

Note: All tests and all adjustments must be made while the transmission oil is at normal operating temperature.


NOTICE

Do not connect or disconnect hose fittings to or from the quick disconnect nipples when there is pressure in the system. This will prevent damage to the seals that are in the fitting.

Diagnostic Testing of the Transmission Electronic Control

The electronic control module (ECM) for the transmission is located below the floor panel at the right rear of the cab. The main function of the ECM is shifting the transmission. The ECM receives information from the transmission controls and the auto/manual switch in order to shift the transmission to the desired speed and direction.

The ECM also controls the starting of the engine and the backup alarm. The ECM will not allow the engine to be started unless the direction control switch is in the NEUTRAL position. The backup alarm is activated when the direction control switch is in the REVERSE position.

The ECM has a built-in diagnostic system in order to detect faults in the electronic system of the transmission. The diagnostic information is displayed on the electronic display module, when the system is placed in the service mode. For information about system operation and testing and adjusting, refer to Service Manual, "Electronic Transmission Control System".

Transmission Pressures(1) 
Pressure  Pressure Tap  Position of Governor Control Lever  Adjustment 
Pressure at Low Idle Pressure at High Idle(2) 
Transmission Lubrication Oil (1AY1-up, ; 7WY1-up, ; B6E1-up, and ; 1RY1-up)  (A)  This pressure is a minimum of 21 kPa (3 psi) This pressure is 379 to 448 kPa (55 to 65 psi) at 2100 rpm. The transmission is in THIRD speed and in NEUTRAL position. 
Transmission Lubrication Oil (1WY1-up)  (A)  This pressure is a minimum of 7 kPa (1 psi) This pressure is 145 to 179 kPa (21 to 26 psi) at 2100 rpm. The transmission is in THIRD speed and in NEUTRAL position. 
Converter Outlet Pressure  (B)  This pressure is a minimum of 380 kPa (55 psi) and a maximum of 620 kPa (90 psi). The transmission is in THIRD speed and in FORWARD position. The torque converter is in a stall condition.  Add spacers (28) or remove spacers (28).(3)  
Converter Inlet Pressure "P3"  (C)  This pressure is a maximum of 980 kPa (142 psi) with cold oil.
This pressure is a maximum of 827 kPa (120 psi) with oil at normal operating temperature. 
Direction Clutch "P2"  (D)  This pressure is 379 ± 55 kPa (55 ± 5 psi) lower than the speed clutch pressure at pressure tap (F). Plug (H) for the load piston is installed.  This pressure is 379 ± 55 kPa (55 ± 5 psi) lower than the speed clutch pressure at pressure tap (F). Plug (H) for the load piston is installed. 
Oil Pump  (E)  This pressure is 69 to 207 kPa (10 to 30 psi) higher than "P1" pressure. 
Speed Clutch "P1" (Initial Pressure)  (F)  The pressure is 522 ± 35 kPa (76 ± 5 psi) when the direction switch is in the NEUTRAL position and FIRST speed is selected. Plug (H) for the load piston is removed.  Add spacers (29) or remove spacers (29).(3) 
Speed Clutch "P1"  (F)  This pressure must not be less than 2205 kPa (320 psi) with the transmission in THIRD speed and in NEUTRAL. Plug (H) for the load piston is installed.  This pressure is a minimum of 2450 kPa (355 psi) and a maximum of 2650 kPa (384 psi) with the transmission in THIRD speed and in NEUTRAL. Plug (H) for the load piston is installed. 
(1) This data is taken when the following conditions are met: oil at normal operating temperature, parking brake engaged and installed axle shafts.
(2) The data in this column is taken with the engine at high idle. The transmission lubrication pressure is not taken with the engine at high idle.
