CONTENTS saue Series 90 Functional Description Pump Control Options 2.5.1 Manual Displacement Control (MDC) The manual displacement control converts a mechani- cal input signal to a hydraulic signal using a spring- centered four-way servo valve. This valve ports hydraulic pressure to either side of a dual-acting servo piston.
Page 253
CONTENTS saue Series 90 Functional Description 2.5.3 Electric Displacement Control (EDC) The electric displacement control is similar to the hydraulic displacement control with the input signal pressure controlled by a pressure control pilot (PCP) valve. The PCP valve converts a DC electrical input signal to a hydraulic signal which operates a spring- centered four-way servo valve.

USE, INSTALLATION AND MAINTENANCE MANUAL 1.0 - GENERAL INFORMATION 1.1 - PURPOSE OF THE MANUAL ........................1.2 - PRODUCT IDENTIFICATION .
1.0 - GENERAL INFORMATION 1.1 - PURPOSE OF THE MANUAL This Manufacturer’s manual provides information regarding the safe transport, handling, installation, mainte- nance, repair, disassembly and dismantling of the gear unit. All information for users and designers is given in the Sales Catalogue. As well as adhering to esta- blished engineering practices, the information given in this manual must be read carefully and rigo- rously applied.
1.2 - PRODUCT IDENTIFICATION The information identifying the product is shown on its nameplate. Gearmotors are equipped with two name- plates; one on the gear unit which bears the gear unit data, and one on the motor (electric or hydraulic), bea- ring the motor data.
INOLOGY 1.3 - GLOSSARY AND TERM Some of the frequently occurring terms used in this manual are described below to unequivocally define their meaning. Routine maintenance The set of operations required to preserve the functionality and efficiency of the gear unit. These operations are usually scheduled by the Manufacturer, who defines the qualifications and tasks involved.
2.0 - TECHNICAL INFORMATION 2.1 - DESCRIPTION OF THE GEAR UNIT The gear unit, driven by an electric or hydraulic motor, has been designed and constructed for integration into an assembly of interlocking parts or mechanisms as part of a specific application. Depending on the requirements of the application, the gear unit can be supplied in a variety of motor execu- tions and configurations.
Ambient conditions • Ambient temperature: min. - 20°C; max. + 40°C. • Do not use the gear unit, if not explicitly intended for the purpose, in a potentially explosive atmosphere or where the use of explosion-proof equipment is specified. The nameplate specifications regarding the maximum surface temperature, refer to readings ta- ken in normal ambient and installation conditions.
If the gear unit is to be serviced in a potentially explosive atmosphere, the operator must first switch off power to the gear unit and ensure that it is out of service, as well as taking all neces- sary precautions against it being accidentally switched on again or its parts moving without warning.
4.2.1 - Moving the packages • Prepare a suitable, delimited area with a level floor or surface for unloading the packages. • Prepare the equipment required to handle the package. The lifting and handling equipment (e.g. crane or lift truck) must be of adequate capacity for the weight and size of the load, taking into account its attac- hment points and centre of gravity.

Important Safety Notice Appropriate service methods and proper repair procedures are essential for the safe, reliable operation of all running gear as well as the personal safety of the individual doing the work. This manual provides general directions for performing service and repair work with tested, effective techniques.
Electric Brakes The electric brakes on your trailer are similar to the drum brakes on your automobile. The basic difference is that your automotive brakes are actuated by hydraulic pressure while your electric trailer brakes are actuated by an electromagnet. With all of the brake components connected into the system, the brake will operate as follows: Retractor Spring...
Features Electrically actuated brakes have several advantages over other brake actuation systems. 1. They can be manually adjusted at the controller to provide the correct braking capability for varying road and load conditions. 2. They can be modulated to provide more or less braking force, thus easing the brake load on the towing vehicle.
Brake Controllers Electric brake controllers provide power to the magnets to actuate the trailer brakes. Dexter Axle offers a state-of-the-art inertial controller called the Predator Series™ DX2. This controller features a patented pendulum design which senses the deceleration of the towing vehicle and sends a proportional voltage to the electric trailer brakes.

Page 395
Controller Electric brake controller provides power to the magnets to actuate the trailer brakes. Battery Connect controller directly. Connector Used to connect and disconnect trailer and tow vehicle. (Always ground trailer brakes through connector).
How to Use Your Electric Brakes Properly Your trailer brakes are designed to work in synchronization with your tow vehicle brakes. Never use your tow vehicle or trailer brakes alone to stop the combined load. Your brake controller must be set up according to the manufacturer's recommendations to ensure proper synchronization between the tow vehicle and the trailer.
Synchronizing Your Trailer Brakes To insure safe brake performance and synchronization, read the brake controller manufacturer's instructions completely before attempting any synchronization procedure. CAUTION Before road testing, make sure the area is clear of vehicular and pedestrian traffic. Failure to brake safely could result in an accident and personal injury to yourself and/or others.
General Maintenance - Electric Brakes Brake Adjustment Most Dexter 12 " electric brakes have a self adjusting feature. If manual adjusting is required, use the following procedure: Brakes should be adjusted (1) after the first 200 miles of operation when the brake shoes and drums have “seated,” (2) at 3,000 mile intervals, (3) or as use and performance requires.
Brake Cleaning and Inspection Your trailer brakes must be inspected and serviced immediately if a loss of performance is indicated. With normal use, servicing at one year intervals is usually adequate. With increased usage, this work should be done more frequently as required. Magnets and shoes must be changed when they become excessively worn or scored, a condition which can reduce vehicle braking.
Magnets Your electric brakes are equipped with high quality electromagnets that are designed to provide the proper input force and friction characteristics. Your magnets should be inspected and replaced if worn unevenly or abnormally. As indicated below, a straightedge should be used to check magnet condition.
Shoes and Linings A simple visual inspection of your brake linings will tell if they are usable. Replacement is necessary if the lining is worn (to within " or less), contaminated with grease or oil, or abnormally scored or gouged. Hairline heat cracks are normal in bonded linings and should not be cause for concern.
Introduction to Troubleshooting Proper brake function is critical to the safe operation of any vehicle. If problems are encountered with your trailer braking system, the following guide can be used to find the causes and remedies for some of the more common problems. If you are unsure or unable to resolve the problem, please contact your nearest repair facility for professional assistance.

How to Measure Voltage System voltage is measured at the magnets by connecting the voltmeter to the two magnet lead wires at any brake. This may be accomplished by using a pin probe inserted through the insulation of the wires. The engine of the towing vehicle should be running when checking the voltage so that a low battery will not affect the readings.
Magnet Amperes Chart Brake Amps/ Four Magnet Size Magnet Brakes Brakes Brakes Ohms 7 x 1 10.0 15.0 10 x 1 12.0 18.0 10 x 2 12.0 18.0 12 x 2 12.0 18.0 12.0 18.0 12.0 18.0 If a resistor is used in the brake system, it must be set at zero or bypassed completely to obtain the maximum amperage reading.
Page 408
Possible causes are: 1. Shorted magnet coils 2. Defective controllers 3. Bare wires contacting a grounded object Finding the cause of a short circuit in the system is done by isolating one section at a time. If the high amperage reading drops to zero by unplugging the trailer, then the short is in the trailer.
Hydraulic Brakes Dexter offers several varieties of hydraulic trailer brakes. Your vehicle may be equipped with the traditional drum brakes or you may have disc brakes. The hydraulic brakes on your trailer are much like those on your automobile or light truck. The hydraulic fluid from a master cylinder or actuation system is used to actuate the wheel cylinder which, in turn, applies force against the brake shoes and drum.
Hydraulic Brake Operation Duo-Servo The duo-servo brake uses a dual piston wheel cylinder to apply the brakes. This type of brake is typically used in a vacuum/ hydraulic, electric/hydraulic or air/hydraulic system. A description of operation of this brake is as follows: When the brakes are applied, the double-acting wheel cylinder moves the primary and secondary shoes towards the drum.
backing with a surge brake hitch, normal brakes are applied through the surge mechanism and if there is more brake Anchor Post force on the trailer than Hydraulic Wheel Retractor Cylinder the tow vehicle can Springs override, no backing is possible.
Page 412
installed directly into the backing plate to provide a convenient means for the trailer manufacturer to attach an appropriate operating system. The internal parking brake lever of 10" and 12" Dexter brakes, which is mounted to the secondary shoe, transfers applied cable force through a parking strut which is attached to the primary shoe.
Disc Brakes Dexter Axle manufactures two types of disc brakes, the floating caliper and the fixed caliper brake. With both styles, the disc brake uses friction pads astride a ventilated rotor which is attached to the wheel hub. When the brake is actuated, the pads are pressed against the sides of the rotor causing drag to slow the rotating disc.
Actuation Systems To effectively operate your hydraulic trailer brakes we recommend the Dexter E/H electro/hydraulic actuator, controlled by the Predator series DX2™ electronic brake controller. These high performance hydraulic power modules will supply pressurized brake fluid to your trailer brakes in proportion to the amount of braking effort called for by the towing vehicles' deceleration rate.
Troubleshooting Guide Brakes are slow to respond 1. Re-bleed the trailer brakes and actuator. 2. If the trailer is equipped with drum brakes, readjust the drum brakes to the brake manufacture's recommended running clearance. 3. Slow response can be caused by trailer wiring that is too small.
Page 416
actuator is functioning properly. The problem most likely is a defective electronic brake controller in the tow vehicle or defective wiring between the tow vehicle and the E/H unit. 3. If the unit runs but will not build pressure, the problem most likely is a defective solenoid valve in the E/H unit and the actuator should be returned for repair.

If manual adjusting is required, use the following procedure: Brakes should be adjusted (1) after the first 200 miles of operation when the brake shoes and drums have “seated,”...
Most of the brake components are very similar to those used in electric brakes, and maintenance is comparable for the hub and drum, shoes and linings, and bearings. Specific maintenance activities are as follows: Wheel Cylinders Inspect for leaks and smooth operation. Clean with brake cleaner and flush with fresh brake fluid.
After replacement of brake shoes and linings, the brakes must be re-burnished to seat in the new components. This should be done by applying the brakes 20 to 30 times from an initial speed of 40 m.p.h., slowing the vehicle to 20 m.p.h. Allow ample time for brakes to cool between applications.
4. Remove the hose from the caliper. Then remove the two caliper mounting bolts. Do not allow the caliper to hang from the hose. Installing the new brake caliper 1. First inspect the brake assembly for grooves, flaking, cracks, heat checking, thickness variation, insufficient rotor thickness, and look to see that the mounting hardware is straight.
Page 421
CAUTION Do not lift or support the trailer on any part of the axle or suspension system. Never go under any trailer unless it is properly supported on jack stands which have been rated for the load. Improperly supported vehicles can fall unexpectedly and cause serious injury or death.

Introduction to Troubleshooting Proper brake function is critical to the safe operation of any vehicle. A properly installed vacuum/hydraulic, electric/hydraulic or air/hydraulic system should not require any special attention with the exception of routine maintenance as defined by the manufacturer. If problems occur, the entire tow vehicle/trailer braking system should be analyzed by a qualified mechanic.

Hubs/Drums/Bearings Dexter Axle offers several types of bearing arrangements and lubrications methods. ” Dexter’s standard wheel bearing configuration consists of opposed tapered roller bearing cones and cups, fitted inside of a precision machined cast hub. This method of using tapered roller bearings requires that a minimal amount of axial end play be provided at assembly.
CAUTION You must follow the maintenance procedures to prevent damage to important structural components. Damage to certain structural components such as wheel bearings can cause the wheel end to come off of the axle. Loss of a wheel end while the trailer is moving can cause you to lose control and lead to an accident, which can result in serious injury or death.
.090" on the diameter, the drum must be replaced. When turning the drum surface, the maximum rebore diameter is as follows: 7" Brake Drum-7.090" diameter ” 10" Brake Drum-10.090" diameter ” 12" Brake Drum-12.090" diameter ” " Brake Drum-12.340" diameter ”...
IMPORTANT: Bearings must always be replaced in sets of a cone and a cup. CAUTION Be sure to wear safety glasses when removing or installing force fitted parts. Failure to comply may result in serious eye injury. When replacing the bearing cup proceed as follows: 1.
3. Repeat this while rotating the bearing from roller to roller. 4. Continue this process until you have the entire bearing completely filled with grease. 5. Before reinstalling, apply a light coat of grease on the bearing cup. Bearing Lubrication - Oil If your axles are equipped with oil lubricated hubs, periodically check and refill the hub as necessary with a high quality hypoid gear oil to the level indicated on the clear plastic oil cap.
Note: The convenient lubrication provisions of the E-Z Lube® and the oil lubrication must not replace periodic inspection of the bearings. Seal Inspection and Replacement Whenever the hub is removed, inspect the seal to assure that it is not nicked or torn and is still capable of properly sealing the bearing cavity.
Bearing Adjustment and Hub Replacement If the hub has been removed or bearing adjustment is required, the following adjustment procedure must be followed: 1. After placing the hub, bearings, washers, and spindle nut back on the axle spindle in reverse order as detailed in the previous section on hub removal, rotate the hub assembly slowly while tightening the spindle nut to approximately 50 lbs.-ft.
E-Z Lube® Lubrication The procedure is as follows: 1. Remove the rubber plug from the end of the grease cap. 2. Place a standard grease gun onto the grease fitting located in the end of the spindle. Make sure the grease gun nozzle is fully engaged on the fitting.
Nev-R-Lube™ Drums/Bearings Dexter’s Nev-R-Lube™ bearings are comprised of opposed tapered roller bearing cones sealed inside of a precision ground, one piece double cup arrangement. These bearings are designed with a small amount of axial end play. This end play is essential to the longevity of the bearings service life.
CAUTION Do not lift or support the trailer on any part of the axle or suspension system. Never go under any trailer unless it is properly supported on jack stands which have been rated for the load. Improperly supported vehicles can fall unexpectedly and cause serious injury or death.
2. Check for excessive wheel end clearance by pulling the tire assembly towards you and by pushing the assembly away from you. Slight end play is acceptable. 3. Rotate tire slowly forwards and backwards. The wheel assembly should turn freely and smoothly. 4.
Bearing Replacement and Drum Installation 1. Once the drum and bearing assembly is removed from the axle, remove “internal” snap ring from the bearing bore that retains bearing. 2. Using an arbor press and mandrel, press the bearing out of the drum. Bearing will exit on the wheel side of the drum.
Page 442
Nut should be torqued to 145-155 lb.-ft. (this torque will set the internal bearing adjustment, no other adjustments are to be made). 10. Install “torque instruction” washer onto end of spindle. 11. Install “external” snap ring onto end of spindle to retain washer.
Suspension Systems The suspension systems incorporated into Dexter axles are designed to provide the trailer owner three basic functions: 1. Attach the axle to the trailer 2. Dampen the effects of road shock 3. Cushion the cargo or load All Dexter suspension systems are available in single and multiple axle configurations.
Grease Lubricated Suspension Bushings Dexter Axle offers an optional heavy duty attaching parts kit for double eye leaf spring suspensions up to 7,000 lb. axle capacity. The kit contains extra heavy shackle links, bronze bushings for the spring eyes and suspension bolts and equalizers equipped with grease fittings to provide a convenient means to lubricate all the pivot points.
Inspection and Replacement All the components of your suspension system should be visually inspected at least every 6,000 miles for signs of excess wear, elongation of bolt holes, and loosening of fasteners. Whenever loose or replaced, the fasteners in your suspension system should be torqued as detailed in the charts below.
Page 446
CAUTION Do not lift or support the trailer on any part of the axle or suspension system. Never go under any trailer unless it is properly supported on jack stands which have been rated for the load. Improperly supported vehicles can fall unexpectedly and cause serious injury or death.
1. With both axles blocked up, remove the spring eye bolt, shackle bolt, and equalizer bolt from the equalizer to be repaired or replaced. 2. Take the equalizer to suitable work surface and remove the worn bushings using a suitable drift punch. 3.
surrounded by four natural rubber cords encased in the main structural member of the axle beam. The wheel/hub spindle is attached to a lever, called the torsion arm, which is fastened to the rubber encased bar. As load is applied, the bar rotates causing a rolling/compressive resistance in the rubber cords.
Page 449
Axle Adjustment 1. Support the trailer frame on a level surface. If the wheels are already mounted, make sure they are clear of the ground. If the air actuation system has been installed, make sure the air pressure in the air bags is bled off before lifting the trailer.

Wheels Wheel Selection Wheels are very important and critical components of your running gear system. When specifying or replacing your trailer wheels it is important that the wheels, tires, and axle are properly matched. The following characteristics are extremely important and should be thoroughly checked when replacement wheels are considered.
CAUTION Do not attempt to repair or modify a damaged wheel. Even minor modifications can cause a dangerous failure of the wheel and result in personal injury or death. Torque Requirements In June of 2004, Dexter Axle ceased production of trailer wheels. If your vehicle is equipped with Dexter steel wheels manufactured before that date, the following wheel torque information will be applicable.
Be sure to use only the fasteners matched to the cone angle of your wheel (usually 60 or 90 ). The proper procedure for attaching your wheels is as follows: 1. Start all bolts or nuts by hand to prevent cross threading. 2.
Maximum Wheel Fastener Torque The wheel mounting studs used on Dexter axles conform to the SAE standards for grade 8. The maximum torque level that can be safely applied to these studs is listed in the following chart: Stud Size Max.
Tires Before mounting tires onto the wheels, make certain that the rim size and contour is approved for the tire as shown in the Tire and Rim Association Yearbook or the tire manufacturers catalog. Also, make sure the tire will carry the rated load. If the load is not equal on all tires due to trailer weight distribution, use the tire rated for the heaviest wheel position.
