OUT BEARING.
The masterclutch throw-out bearing is grease lubri-
cated with a hand grease gun through a fitting and
hose connection attached to the right side of the
clutch housing. Use an approved grease as listed
in Table IV, paragraph 50. Lubricate every 10 hours
of operation or daily.
19. FLUID PRESSURE.
‘The auxiliary fluid pumpand its built-in relief valve
control the converter charging fluid pressure. The
pressure gauge, indicating the charging pressure, is
is connected in a “tee” connection at the fluid filter
outlet. If conditions are normal, and the air is
properly vented from the converter circuit, the oil
pressure will indicate full pressure (rated) immedi-
ately upon starting the engine and engaging the
master clutch. The pressure will drop to zero, when
stopping the engine or disengaging the master clutch
20. FLUID TEMPERATURE.
‘The temperature is taken at the turbine housing.
‘The gauge is mounted next to the pressure gauge
in the fluid filter and gauge mounting bracket. Normal
temperature for operation is 180 degrees — 220 de-
gtees F. Maximum temperature is 250 degrees F.
21. FLUID COOLING.
It is recommended that the fluid be cooled with a
hheat exchanger rather than a radiator, if the instal-
lation lends itself readily to an exchanger instal-
lation. Heat exchangers hold the fluid to a more
desirable minimum than radiators and thereby cause
less variance in fluid viscosity.
Section V. PREVENTIVE MAINTENANCE
22. GENERAL.
A. Lubrication. The unit lubrication was
covered previously. A daily check should be made
of the fluid and oil levels in the end plate sump,
the output housing sump, and the reserve tank.
B. Qverhaul Interval. Acomplete overhaul of
the Model CO-10,000 and CO-11,500 series torque
Converter should be made at the same time that the
engine is overhauled. All parts showing signs of
wear, fatigue, etc., should be replaced at this time.

13. CONVERTER CIRCUIT FLUID FLOW
A. General. The converter internal fluid
flow between the members of the converter, (impel-
ler, turbine, and stators), was cove ed in paragraph
12. This paragraph will be devoted to the fluid
circuit into and out of the converter
B. Fluid Flow. The charging pump traws
fluid from the reserve tank through the inlet strainer
and displaces it through the fluid filter and into the
end plate. A passage in the end plate routes the
fluid through the seal carrier and into the cavity
behind the impeller wheel A labyrinth seal formed
by lands and grooves on the impeiler wheel and end
plate confines the fluid, causing it to flow into the
toroidal chamber through holes drilled in the front
side (toward engine) of the impeller wheel The
action of the impeller wheel imparts momentum and
force to the fluid through the converter internal
circuit increasing the pressure across the circuit.
The converter outlet connection to the fiuid heat
exchanger is at the outer diameter of the converter
internal circuit, where the pressure is high. The
fluid circulates through the heat exchanger and
returns to the rear of the impeller wheel at the
charging area (low pressure) to begin another cycle.
‘The pressure drop of differential between impeiler
inlet to housing outlet is the cooling circulating
pressure; the converter acts as its own cooling
pump. The orifice bleed connected to the highest
point in the cooling circuit vents the air from the
circuit into the reserve tank and supplies a return
for oil constantly displaced into the circuit from
the charging pump.
14. FREEWHEEL OPERATION.
The freewheel is a one way, or overrunning clutch.
It is engaged and disengaged automatically. The
cam, since it is connected to the impeller wheel, is
turning at engine speed when the master clutch is
engaged. The outer race is a part of the turbine
wheel and is therefore turning at converter output
shaft speed. When the engine (and cam) is turning
faster than the converter output shaft the freewheel
is disengaged. Under these conditions the freewheel
rollers are at the low area on the cam and therefore
do not apply pressure to the outer race. However,
if the load should try to drive the output shaft
faster than the input shaft the rollers move up the
ramps of the cam and cause the freewheel to engage.
Under this condition the rollers are connected
solidly between the cam and outer race. It can be
seen that under normal conditions (engine speed
greater than output shaft speed) the frees
‘tot affect converter operation. When th
tempts to back-drive through the converte
connection exists between the engine an

When the freewheel is engaged,
