1.29 JAKE BRAKE 1.29 JAKE BRAKE The engine brake has been designed to fit on the Series 60 engine with no additional valve cover spacers. There are three styles of valve covers for the Series 60 engine. On engines equipped with a two-piece aluminum valve cover, it is NOT necessary to remove the lower valve cover to install the engine brake.

1.29 JAKE BRAKE NOTE: All engines built after serial number 06R0004455 have the correct engine parts for engine brake installation. The model numbers have changed because of design changes in the engine brakes. NOTE: All Series 60 engines with serial numbers 06R0004455 or higher are Jake Brake ready. Do not install a Jake Brake on engines with lower serial numbers.
Page 62
SERIES 60 SERVICE MANUAL Energizing the engine brake effectively converts a power-producing diesel engine into a power-absorbing air compressor. This is accomplished through motion transfer using a master-slave piston arrangement which opens cylinder exhaust valves near the top of the normal compression stroke, releasing the compressed cylinder charge to exhaust.
Page 63
1.29 JAKE BRAKE The blowdown of compressed air to atmospheric pressure prevents the return of energy to the engine piston on the expansion stroke, the effect being a net energy loss, since the work done in compressing the cylinder charge is not returned during the expansion process. Exhaust blowdown occurs as the energized solenoid valve permits engine lube oil to flow under pressure through the control valve to both the master piston and the slave piston.

FAULT CODE MANUAL Created on 00-04-25 15:30 1. Bus Instrument Cluster (BIC) The bus instrument cluster contains a number of indicators and lamps that shows the status of different parts of the bus. It can also be used to display faultcodes from the different control units by using the windscreen wiper handle.
FAULT CODE MANUAL Created on 00-04-25 15:30 4. Display menus The image below displays the main menus in the display window. The window can only display three items at once, therefore the up/down button on the windscreen wiper handle must be used to browse through the menus. Simply press the “Return” button on the windscreen wiper handle to enter a desired menu.
FAULT CODE MANUAL Created on 00-04-25 15:30 6. Read fault codes from ECU From the main menu, use the up/down button on the windscreen wiper handle to move down to the “System diagnostic” menu and press the “Return” key. The line “Fault diagnostic” should now be highlighted, if it’s not you can simply use the up/down button on the windscreen wiper handle to move to that line.

Page 430
Spicer SpecialityAxle Division - Technical Publications SECTION 2 ROUTINE MAINTENANCE Hub bearing check should be carried out every 30000 miles (48000 km) Before commencing checks, apply parking brake, raise wheels off ground and support axle on stands. and remove brake drum (if fitted) . WARNING! NEVER WORK UNDER A VEHICLE SUPPORTED ONLY BY JACKS! ALWAYS USE SUITABLE AXSLE STANDS!
Page 431
Spicer SpecialityAxle Division - Technical Publications SECTION 2 ROUTINE MAINTENANCE Cont. Check permissible slackness in swivel (king) pins every 30000 miles (48000 km) as follows :- Aspects to be considered are :- Lateral slackness. Vertical slackness. Before commencing checks, apply parking brake, raise wheels off ground and support axle on stands. Checking lateral slackness Whilst this is being carried out the brake must be applied.

Alcoa Dura-Bright Wheel ® Care and Maintenance 1. Clean frequently with high-pressure water from a hose. The use of a mild Maintenance detergent will speed the cleaning process. Do not clean with abrasives, abrasive against corrosion brushes, steel wool, scouring pads or strong chemicals, such as acids or lye- based products.
Page 591
Rim flange wear Irregular wear on the sruface of the rim flange is caused by the chafer and side wall area of the tire working on the surface of the rim flange. Remove the wheel from service when rim flange wear is excessive. Excessive wear can be determined using an Alcoa approved wear gauge and procedures.

Inspection Inspect Safe operation requires thorough examination of wheels and attaching hardware, at frequent intervals, both on and off the vehicle. thoroughly and frequently Wheels that have been in service need to be inspected at regular intervals to assure proper and safe performance. Like tires and other vehicle components that work hard, wheels will eventually wear out.
Excessive WARNING Excessive heat from fire, brake malfunction, wheel bearing heat damage failure or other sources may weaken the metal and cause the wheel/tire assembly to separate explosively. Exploding wheel/tire assembly can cause death or serious injury. WARNING Immediately and permanently remove from service any wheel that has been exposed to excessive heat.
Dimension Open side circumference check checks WARNING Wheels that have been subjected to high pressure tire and rim separation, run flat, excessive heat or other physical damage may no longer have sufficient dimension and contour to retain tire bead while under pressure. WARNING Rims that lack proper dimension and contour can lead to explosive separation of tire and rim, causing injury or death.
Dimension Tire wear or ride problems checks (continued) If you experience tire wear or ride problems it may be helpful to check radial run out. Remove the wheel from the vehicle, deflate and remove the tire (see 3-5, page 22 for recommendations and instructions for demounting tubeless tires and 6-5, page 43 for recommendations and instructions for demounting tube-type tires).
Mounting area Stud hole cracks are usually caused by improper torquing (see 4-9, page 29 and 5-2, page 35), excessive loading or insufficient mounting flange support by the hub or brake drum. Remove wheel from service. Shown below are stud hole cracks emanating from stud hole to stud hole. Causes are: undersized diameter of wheel support surface (see specifications below), support surface not flat, incorrect attachment parts (see 4-12, page 34) and insufficient torque (see 4-9, page 29 and 5-2, page 35).
Mounting area Support surface diameters (continued) Support surface (backup diameter) should be flat to the diameter recommended on the chart below: Number of Bolts Bolt Circle Mounting Type Backup Diameter Thread Size 11.25 inch U.S. Stud pilot 13.2-13.5 in. .750/1.125 in. 285.75mm Hub pilot 13.2-13.4 in.
Stud holes If wheels are run loose, both stud located wheels and hub piloted wheels can be damaged. Look for wallowed out or elongated ball seats on stud located wheels. On hub piloted wheels look for elongated stud holes. Over torquing can lead to damaged ball seats on stud located wheels and can damage the disc surface of hub piloted wheels.
Rim area Check the entire rim area for nicks, gouges and cracks. Loss of air may be caused by cracks in areas around the valve stem hole. Remove the wheel from service. Gutter area Projections on the side of the wheel gutter area on tube type wheels can cause uneven seating of the side and lock ring and chipping of the gutter.
Rim flange wear 2-11 Irregular wear on the surface of the rim flange is caused by abrasion from the tire chafer and sidewall. Rim flange wear happens most often in applications with heavy or shifting loads. If you are experiencing excessive rim flange wear in your operation, consider using Alcoa Dura-Flange ®...

Rim flange Die Grinder. Used with a sanding wheel, cutting stone or grinding tool, this is a version of an electric grinder. This tool is very quick and effective as well, and wear care must be taken to remove metal as uniformly as possible and not to gouge the wheel (photo 7 on page 15).
Page 615
Rim flange STEP 5. After the edge is removed, run the sharpness indicator gauge along the area of edge removal to check for any remaining sharpness. If the rubber wear is still cut, perform the steps again to remove the sharp edge. Always remove the minimum amount of material necessary to eliminate the sharp edge.

Section 22: HEATING AND AIR CONDITIONING Check the compressor for leaks using a leak detector. NOTE Never leave the compressor upside down for longer than 30 seconds. This is because the oil inside the compressor will enter the cylinders, causing liquid compression which will damage the compressor’s suction and delivery valves.
