also to ensure that no damage is caused when
jacking the machine.
ALWAYS ensure axle stands are used and in the
correct place before working on or under

that when work mode is selected the engine will
rev at a set speed.
The pedal potentiometer is available separately

We’ll first examine the transmission system of
the 636HS. This system’s only job is to provide
controlled power to drive the four wheels of the
machine in forward and reverse.
The system is very simple and comprises an
Eaton model 72400 variable-displacement axial
piston pump (sometimes referred to as a
“swash-plate” pump - painted Green or Grey in
Figure 6-3), a solenoid-powered servo unit which Figure 6-4 Front drive motor
controls the pump, a transmission manifold
block which distributes the pumped hydraulic oil
to the four drive-wheel motors, and of course
the four wheel motors themselves.

The IQAN electronic controller (see Chapter 7)
makes sure that in reverse the maximum angle
that the cam plate can go in reverse is much
smaller than the maximum angle that is
possible in forward drive. This limits the
maximum reversing speed.
In the neutral position of the cam plate (known
as the ‘NULL POINT’) there should be no
forward or reverse pumping and therefore no
movement by the vehicle.
This ‘null point is set at the factory and locked

clogged and must be changed immediately.
Should the element not be changed in time, the
oil will bypass round the filter (the bypass valve
opens when the differential pressure across the

result is severely reduced filtration and
increased wear of and possible damage to the

Hence when the engine is running, the gear
pump is always pumping oil to the brush and
fan manifold. But if we do not need to use the
brushes or suction fan (for example when we
are driving in ‘transit’ mode), then we don’t
require any oil for the brush or fan functions.
Rather than just letting the unwanted oil blow-
off through the main pressure relief valve
(which would be inefficient and would generate
a lot of heat), there is an unloader solenoid
valve (S1) that lets the unwanted oil pass back
to the hydraulic tank.
The motor manifold unloading valve (S1

Torque Setting – A – 33.9 Nm (25ft lbs)
When the pressure in the system reaches the

psi) the relief valve will open, passing all oil to

the system from rising any further. The valve is
fully open at 250 bar (3,675 psi), or 230 bar on
machines up to February 2006.
The spring force sets the relief pressure, which
is adjustable. However, once factory set there
should be no reason to adjust the relief valve.

This has the effect of the fan motor sucking oil
from its inlet port and pumping oil through its
outlet port (i.e. during the period that the fan is
slowing down, the fan motor is actually
behaving as a pump).
The anti-cavitation valve opens during the
deceleration phase and allows oil to pass in a
loop from the fan outlet port to the fan inlet and
round again through the fan. This prevents the
fan motor from being damaged by cavitation.

The system also has a small accumulator fitted
to smooth out the pressure in the fan supply

The accumulator acts like a hydraulic cushion

We have read in detail how oil from the gear
pump enters the manifold and how if no
functions are needed, the unloading solenoid
valve lets the oil dump back to the hydraulic
tank.
We have read how the brushes and fan
proportional solenoids can be activated via their
respective cab mounted potentiometers at the
same time as the unloading valve is energised
closed, and how the brush and fan speeds can
be adjusted by the operator.
We have also now dealt with the Fan brake

so that energizing a particular solenoid will for
example move the brush arms outwards or
another solenoid valve might raise the hopper.
The figure below shows the general valve
arrangements of the cylinder manifold.
The figure below it shows the details of how the
solenoid leads are connected. Each solenoid
lead is physically labeled with a yellow tag to
help identify which solenoid it connects to.
Several solenoid valves are double-acting, so
that the valve has two solenoids attached to it.
For example the solenoid valve which controls
the right side brush arm moving in and out
when the joystick in the cab is moved is double-
acting.
We’ll next describe each function in turn.

Cylinder Manifold Pressure So, for example, when the operator wants the
Relief Valve left side brush to move in, the solenoid marked
S6: LHBA (Left Hand Brush line “A”) is
energised and the brush moves in.
When the operator wants to move the brush
out, then the solenoid marked S5: LHBB (Left
Hand Brush line “B”) is energised.
This causes the double-acting solenoid valve to
energise in the reverse sense, and oil flows in
the reverse direction, entering the ram through
port B and causing the brush to move
outwards.
For the right hand brush, then solenoid S12:
LHBA moves the brush in when energised, and

The shuttle valve senses the differential
pressure between the left hand brush out line
and the right hand brush out line.
If for example, the left brush hits an obstacle,
then the pressure in the LHBA line will rise as
the ram is forced inwards by the obstacle.
When the shuttle valve senses the higher
pressure in the left brush line compared to the
right brush line, it opens flow to the pressure
relief valve.
The pressure relief valve then dumps any oil
pressure above 50 Bar, so limiting any damage
to the brush assembly.

Summary of Brush In/Out Function


We have read how a pair of double-acting
solenoid valves control the double-acting rams
that cause the brushes to move in and out.
We also learnt how the brush arms are
protected from impact damage by a pressure
relief valve acting in conjunction with a shuttle
valve.

Brushes Up/Down Function


This function allows the brushes to be raised
and lowered via the work/travel mode selection.
If the machine is in work mode and the
forward/reverse control is in the forward
position, then the brushes will lower to the
ground.

Brush Down-Pressure Valve

Figure 6-49 Brush down-pressure valve.


This valve is mounted on the left side of the

The valve is a normally open design which
shuts down to limit pressure in port 1 (the brush

brushes are in motion, pressure is supplied to
port 2 which will counterbalance the weight of

Summary of Brush Up/Down
Function
We have seen how two separate solenoid
valves are used for raising and lowering the
brushes when the machine is in work mode,
and how the operator can vary the brush down
pressure.

Nozzle Up/Down Function


The function of the Nozzle Up/Down control is
identical to that of the Brush Up / Down
operation, with the exception that the pressure
reducing valve is pre-set to a fixed value and is
located on the Cylinder manifold itself rather
than in the cab. The nozzle is thus supported
hydraulically so that it only rides lightly on the
ground, so reducing wear.
The Nozzle Raise Solenoid Valve is numbered
S14 on the diagram.
The Nozzle Lower Solenoid Valve is numbered
S8 on the diagram.
The Pressure Reducing Valve is located on the
front face of the cylinder manifold and is
labeled “PR08-32” on the drawing.

Hopper Raise/ Lower Solenoid Valve
‘S9/S10’

Figure 6-50 Hopper Raise/ Lower solenoid valve.


By energising solenoid S9 (the uppermost
solenoid of the pair), then oil starts to flow
through port HA and the hopper door begins to
open (Pressure required to achieve this is
relatively low).
By energising solenoid S10 (the lowermost
solenoid), then oil is pumped in the reverse
direction through port HB and this causes the
double acting rams on the hopper and hopper
door to lower.

Hopper Sequencing Valve

Hopper Up/Down Function


This function enables the contents of the
hopper to be raised and tipped out under
gravity. This operation has to be carried out
with the vehicle stationary and normally, none
of the other services of the vehicle are in
operation.
Figure 6-51 Hopper Sequencing valve.
When the hopper raise function is first selected
it is the hopper door which begins to rise before
any hopper movement occurs.
When the door is fully open (or if the hopper
door clamps are locked down), then the door
ram cannot push any further and so the
pressure in line HA rises above 50 bar (the
setting of the line mounted Sequencing Valve).
The sequencing valve then opens causing the
hopper itself to begin to raise.

before rendering the machine ready for use.

Correct Fitting Of
Hydraulic Hoses

Exposure to high external ambient temperatures can


dramatically shorten hose life.

Always route hose assemblies away from heat


sources or install a protective sleeve or baffle plate.

When pressurised, a flexible hose assembly can


change length by as much as +3% or -6% compared
to its original length.

Always provide some slack in the hose to allow


for this shortening or elongation however,
excessive slack in hose lines may cause poor
appearance.
Constant abrasion at the same point on a hose can
wear through the outer cover and eventually weaken
the reinforcement.

Hose assemblies should be routed to avoid abrasion


with sharp objects, moving parts or other hose
assemblies.

The use of hose clamps can help to prevent


abrasion
If a hose is installed with a twist in it, operating
pressure will try to force it straight. This can loosen
the end fitting nut or cause reinforcement separation
which can result in hose failure at the point of
greatest stress.

1. Route hoses in straight lines or along machine
contour
2. Route hose lines together and in parallel to
reduce abrasion
3. Use brackets and clamps to keep hoses in place
4. Use hose assemblies of proper length.
5. Use elbow adaptors and fittings for more direct
routing

At bends, always provide sufficient hose so that it

In many cases proper use of adaptors and hose

Couplings – Replacement.

Be sure only to use the correct fittings and
seals. Do not attempt to use NPT or other types
of fittings or damage or leaks may occur.
All hoses unions are connected to couplings
which are screwed into the component itself.
When removing and refitting a hose union,
Routing for good appearance often means better always hold the coupling or reducer with a
functioning and easier inspection and maintenance.
It also often results in the use of less hose and
second spanner/wrench to prevent it from being
fewer connections unscrewed from the relevant component.

When refitting couplings, please use the

Couplings that are screwed into a component
are normally sealed with a bonded washer
(sometimes called a Dowty seal).
If a coupling is removed, always fit a new
Dowty seal when refitting. Please see the table

IQAN XT2 Unit


The XT2 units, in tandem with the XS unit, link
the MDM with the solenoids and sensors and
are used to funnel the large amount of control
information from the various sensors and
solenoids to and from the MDM.
If the MDM is the brain of the system, then the
XT2’s can be thought of as the central nervous
system, receiving information from the senses
(speed sensor, temperature senders etc.) and
XS causing the muscles (solenoids) to move.
Unit One XT2 (XT2 AO) unit is located on the left
side of the cab just inside the door and the
second XT2 (XT2 A1T) on the chassis
underneath the rear right hand side of the cab.

We’ll first look at the general principles and
then consider the major components in more
detail.

system is the absence of any direct mechanical
linkage between the steering wheel and the
steering rack.
One effect of this is that unlike on a car or
truck, the steering wheel can “creep” out of
position so that if the wheel is in a certain
position at the start of a journey, it may be in a
different position at the end of that journey. This

Power Steering Pump When the steering wheel is turned to the right,
the control unit meters a small amount of
pressurized oil into the base of the steering
cylinder and allows an equal amount of oil to be
expelled from the top of the cylinder back to the
hydraulic tank. This allows the ram to extend
which causes the left hand wheel to turn right.
The reverse happens when the wheel is turned
left and the cylinder ram retracts.
Internally the steering control unit is quite
complex and incorporates such features as

Setting up the steering
column.
It is important that the steering column is
properly aligned with the steering control unit,
so that the bearings are free.
This is because the steering control unit senses
steering input force, not steering wheel
position. Therefore if the steering column
bearings are not aligned correctly, the steering
control unit can sense the forces caused by
binding bearings and mistake it for driver
steering input.

The system should only be bled with the engine
running.
For safety reasons, it is recommended that the
machine is jacked up so all four wheels are
clear of the ground.
Then by putting the steering on to full lock in
one direction, bleed the system at the ram and
the steering column. Then repeat the process
in the other lock. Repeat this process until there
is no air seen escaping.
On completion, test drive the machine and

The servo brake units are fairly standard units The function of this brake is based on the fact
comprising twin shoes for bi-directional braking that on operating the wheel cylinder, two brake
with a manual adjuster shoes are pressed against the drum, whereat
one brake shoe (primary brake shoe) is taken
in the direction of rotation of the brake drum,
and the second brake shoe (secondary brake
shoe) aligned by the lower floating support is
blocked against a fixed point at the top of the
brake anchor plate, or the wheel cylinder.
By the supplementary force of the primary
shoe, the so-called “self-energisation” (servo
effect) of the brake is generated.
The braking efficiency is almost the same in
both directions.

Figure 9-20 Rear brake. The lower floating support is in most cases
designed as a setting device, and either a

Caution: For maintenance or setting it is
necessary to pay attention to, and correspond
with, the special instructions.

The pressure produced by the brake operation
is transferred to the brake shoes by means of
the wheel cylinder pistons.
Maintenance:
With every periodical brake check, it is
necessary to check the wheel cylinder and
connecting parts for leakage.

Chapter 10 Suction Sweeping
System - Nozzle Brushes,
Vacuum fan and Hopper.

Sweeping System
Overview
The machine works due to the air moving
through it. The following scheme shows the
flow of air through the machine. The two front
brushes sweep dirt, trash and debris into the
centre of the machine, so that the airflow can
pick these up and deposit them into the hopper.

The air and debris mixture is made to swirl in a


cyclonic action inside the hopper in order to
cause the debris to separate out, falling into the
lower part of the hopper and allowing the air to
pass up through screens and cyclones prior to Suction Nozzle
passing through the suction fan and exiting the
machine. There are 3 separating actions inside
the hopper:
• The initial entry cyclonic action which is
aided by swirl plates in the rear of the
hopper;
• Screens in the top of the hopper which
prevent light material such as dry leaves
and paper from escaping;
• The final cyclone spinners located in the
top of the hopper, which separate out
small dust particles.
As long as airflow is maintained, the machine
will work correctly. If the machine does not pick
up or leaves a trail, this means the air is not
flowing correctly through the machine. Always
bear in mind this notion of airflow. Figure 10-1 Suction Nozzle

The suction nozzle is located underneath


the cab, and is supported by an A frame,

the lift & lower hydraulic ram and the Vacuum Fan
suction hose.
As all the debris is swept into the sweep
path by the brushes, it is then sucked up by
the air flow which enters the nozzle then
progresses through the machine and ends
up in the hopper.
The nozzle has a horseshoe wear plate,
which in turn is supported by 2 side skid
wear shoes. The 2 side shoes height can
be adjusted, this is done by using the
adjuster bolts (Procedure for this will
appear later in this section)

Brush Arm Assembly

Figure 10-3 Vacuum Fan Assembly

The vacuum fan has 12 vanes sandwiched


between a front and rear backing plates.
The whole construction is manufactured
from stainless steel and is driven by the
Fan hydraulic motor via a shaft. The fan sits
inside the fan scroll case (fig 10-4).

Figure 10-2 Brush Arm Assembly

There are two brush arm assemblies


located at the front of the machine.
These brush arms can be moved sideways
via a yawing cylinder and can be positioned
either out or in independently of each other.
This is controlled by joysticks situated on
the arm-rest in the cab.
The brush arms are protected from side
impact damage by a side impact protection
shuttle valve . In the event of a side impact,
the valve will allow hydraulic oil in the rams
to escape to the return line. Please refer to Figure 10-4 Fan case scroll

There is also a fan casing front plate
mounted in front of the suction fan to
ensure that the suction fan will operate
correctly (Fig. 10-8).

Figure 10-5 Fan motor mounting


The fan motor mounting and fan scroll case
assembly is then mounted into the recess
on the outer front face of the hopper and is
held in place by three locating points as
indicated in Fig 10-5 above.
With the suction fan and hydraulic motor
fully installed, access to the hydraulic motor
for any maintenance procedures is via the

Chapter 12 Air Conditioning.
How the system works.
The layout of the system is shown in the figure
below.

Figure 12-1 General layout.

The main components are:

Compressor
The compressor receives low-pressure cold refrigerant gas which it compressors to a high pressure
and high temperature. The compressor does this to give the refrigerant the capacity to carryout the
cooling effect required later in the circuit.

Air Conditioning 247

Home
Home Find...
Find... Go
Go To..
To..
Condenser
The condenser receives the hot high-pressure gas from the compressor and removes the heat from
the gas via the airflow across the condenser. This process is required to change the state of the gas
into a liquid but at the same time retaining the high pressure required for the cooling effect.
The condenser has 2 airflow fans blowing across it. The fan motors operate in series or in parallel,
dependent on the cooling requirements. The circuit is automatically controlled via relays in the facia.

Receiver Drier
The liquid passes through the drier to ensure that no moisture is in the system as moisture will cause
the expansion valve, down stream, to freeze.

Expansion Valve
Regulates the flow of high-pressure liquid across to the low-pressure side by sensing the temperature
of the gas exiting the Evaporator. As the liquid exits the expansion valve, it starts to change into gas.
The expansion valve also has a temperature sensor which is monitoring the gas exiting from the
evaporator. This sensor is in the form of a small copper phial with a predetermined pressure inside.

Evaporator
Low-pressure refrigerant/gas enters the evaporator where it looks for heat to change the liquid/gas
refrigerant into gas.
This heat comes from the airflow across the evaporator, which is the air to be cooled within the cab.
The refrigerant liquid should be completely changed into a gas before leaving the evaporator.

Expansion Valve
The expansion valve has a second function, which is to protect the compressor from receiving any
liquid refrigerant within the suction line, and it does this by monitoring the gas exiting the evaporator.
If it senses a very cold temperature, it indicates that not all the refrigerant liquid has been changed into
gas i.e. some liquid refrigerant remains in the gas flow.
Hence, the expansion valve will vary the flow of HP liquid refrigerant going to the evaporator by
sensing the gas temperature coming from it.
As the refrigerant leaves the evaporator it should be 100% gas, which indicates that the refrigerant
being allowed to the evaporator via the expansion valve is either correct or too low. However if liquid
refrigerant starts to exit the condenser (which is not what is wanted as it will damage the compressor)
the phial will sensor a lower temperature and then for the pressure in the phial will reduce. This
reduced phial pressure will then act on the expansion valve diaphragm to close off the refrigerant flow
through the expansion valve to the evaporator.
Hence the expansion valve is controlling the flow of refrigerant flow to the evaporator and is monitoring
the outlet from the evaporator to ensure that the correct flow is maintained

Operating Instructions
For the air conditioning system to operate the vehicle engine must be running. The system will operate
more efficiently if the engine rpm is above 1500.
It is necessary particularly in high ambient temperatures to keep the cab windows closed otherwise the
cooling capacity will be greatly reduced.
The air conditioner has two blower speeds available. It is recommended to use the high speed for initial
cab cooling. Reduce to lower speed to maintain a comfortable temperature. The vent outlet
temperature is thermostatically controlled and non-adjustable. Cycling of the compressor is normal.
The air conditioner will also dehumidify the air within the cab.
The cab heater blower and cab front screen demister is disabled by two relays when the air
conditioning is operating.
When the air conditioning switch is activated, the compressor relay is activated which provides
electrical power to the compressor electromagnet clutch. When the clutch is engaged, the compressor
will run.
The electromagnet clutch can be de-activated either by switching the air conditioning off or via the
safety pressure switch.
The safety pressure switch will de-activate the clutch if the refrigerant high pressure side reaches
either 28 bar (410 psi) (system overload) or 2.1 bar (31 psi) (system leaking/empty).
The safety switch is located adjacent to the filter dryer unit.

Refrigerant Circuit – Safety Precautions


ALWAYS wear appropriate protective clothing, including gloves made of flouroelastomer (leather
or fabric gloves are not suitable when servicing any part of the refrigerant circuit).

ALWAYS wear eye protection. A leak of refrigerant can result in serious blistering (frostbite) of any
unprotected skin and especially the eyes.

DO NOT service or repair AC refrigerant circuits whilst smoking or near a open flame or hot
surface. Although under normal conditions refrigerants are non-poisonous, a discharge near
an open flame or hot surfaces can produce toxic gases (fluorine, phosgene).

DO NOT service or repair refrigerant circuits whilst in enclosed areas, near the ground or in service
pits. Although refrigerant is not toxic, it is heavier than air and will displace the air surrounding
the area where the refrigerant is released, resulting in suffocation.

ALWAYS maintain good ventilation surrounding the work area when handling refrigerant.

DO NOT deliberately discharge refrigerant to the atmosphere. It is illegal and will damage the
environment.

ALWAYS discharge the refrigerant from the air conditioning system into an approved recovery
system.

ALWAYS wear protective goggles, to prevent eyesight damage, when using an ultraviolet (UV) light
source for leak detection.

DO NOT carry out leak testing of the refrigerant circuit with compressed air. Refrigerant oil in the
system can combust under certain conditions.

DO NOT handle refrigerant oil without wearing appropriate gloves. It may contain acids and PAG oil
can be absorbed through the skin.

DO NOT use non-approved refrigerants. Any other substance in the system can react chemically
with the refrigerant or the system components, causing problems. The use of butane gas can
result in explosion and personal injury.

NEVER weld, use a blow torch or use any excessive heat on or close to the refrigerant circuit,
whether filled with refrigerant or not.

Safe Handling of Refrigerant Containers/ Filling Bottles


The following procedures should always be observed:
Keep out of the reach of children.

Store in a cool place, but protect against frost.

Do not expose to heat (incl. warm water), sunlight or temperatures above 50°C.

Do not handle damp containers with bare hands during charging.

Chapter 16 DEA / CSA
Introduction
The Dog Excrement Attachment (DEA or CSA)
is designed to suck up anti-social deposits. It
comprises a high speed, high suction vacuum
pump driven by a hydraulic motor. The suction
pump evacuates a stainless steel container.
The deposits are sucked into the container via
a small diameter hose lance and hose.

Suction Hose Figure 15-2 DEA/CSA spray nozzle


The hose lance has its own water spray jet &
control valve, which is designed to assist in the
operation of the DEA/CSA and help clean up
the area where the animal fouling lies.
The water is supplied from the 636HS’s main
dust suppression water system.
The water system will be switched on
automatically when the DEA is selected, but the
brush sprays should be turned off via the brush
spray control valve, located to the left of the
driver on the seat bench console.

DEA/CSA Container
Figure 15-1 Suction hose assembly
The suction hose is much smaller than the
Wander Hose and is situated on the left hand
side of the machine. The hose has a flexible
cuff to assist in sucking up anti-social deposits.

Chapter 17 Centralised
Lubrication System
The automatic lubrication option is covered in
this chapter.

Introduction
The central greaser is an additional option that
can be added to the 636 to provide a
continuous measured greasing facility to all the
grease points on the machine.
The system consists of: -
• Pump with integral reservoir
• Lubricant injectors
• Tubing to lubrication points
• Fittings at lubrication points

The pumping unit has a radial manifold to


which pump units can be inserted. The electric
motor drives a central cam which operates
each of these units in turn as the lobe of the
cam passes. Fig. 16.1 Central Greasing Pump Unit
Each radial port is connected to a specific The system comprises an electrical operated
grease point via the greasing tube. Each port 12 volt motor/cam pump with integral controller
has a number which corresponds to a number and a loom of tubing which connects each

The pumping unit has a 1 litre capacity
reservoir and have the motor and controller
housed in the lid.
The motor drives the impeller, which draws
grease into the pumping chamber and also

only fill the fill mark (28) and always ensure that
the grease nipple (22) and the quick release
coupling (27) are clean before using to
minimise contamination of the grease during
the filling procedure.
If the reservoir (12) must be filled through the
reservoir cap moulding (5) ensure that the cap
(1) is correctly secured and all efforts have
been made to minimise the ingress of air
pockets into the grease during the process.

Programme Settings
The unit is set to dispense 0.015 cc of grease
from each injector every 12 minutes. This is
deemed adequate for the machine. However, it
may be necessary to increase or decrease the
cycle time to meet local conditions.
The following table shows the options available:

32 injectors used on the pumping unit for the
636 and the remaining injectors are blanked off
as they are not required.
The maximum pressure generated by the
injectors is 120bar (1700 psi).

Filling the Reservoir


Before attempting to fill or refill the reservoir
ensure that you have the correct lubricant.
Applied Sweepers specify ‘semi-fluid grease
NGLI 000EP’ which should be used at all times.
The first fill of the reservoir (12) must be
through the grease nipple (22) or quick release
coupling (27) on the pump body (21). This is to Fig. 16.3 – Grease Pump PCB
