Engine Stop Procedure Prior To Maintenance

Perform the following procedure prior to maintenance


to ensure that no hazardous voltages are present in
the A/C drive system.
1. Before turning off the engine, verify the status
of all the drive system warning lights on the
overhead display panel. Use the lamp test
switch to verify that all lamps are functioning
properly.
2. If all red drive system warning lights are off,
turn the engine off.
3. After the engine has been off for at least five
minutes, inspect the link voltage lights. The
lights are located on the exterior of the main
control cabinet and back wall of the operator's
cab (DID panel). If all lights are off, the retard-
ing grids, wheel motors, alternator, and power
cables connecting these devices are safe to
work on.

FINAL ASSEMBLY

• Inspect all lifting devices. Slings, chains, and cables used for lifting components must be inspected
daily for serviceable condition. Refer to the manufacturer’s guidelines for correct capacities and safety
procedures when lifting components. Replace any questionable items.
• Slings, chains and cables used for lifting must be rated for approximately two times the intended load.
• When in doubt as to the weight of components or any assembly procedure, contact your customer
support manager for further information.
• Lifting eyes and hooks must be fabricated from the proper materials and rated to lift the intended load.
• Never stand beneath a suspended load. Guy ropes are recommended for guiding and positioning a
suspended load.
• Before lifting the body, ensure there is adequate clearance between the body and overhead structures
or electric power lines.

FAM0811 Final Assembly Page 8-1


1. Body welding and chassis assembly must be completed before proceeding.
Before the body is lifted off the ground, tie guy ropes to each of the four corners of the body for aiding in instal-
lation.
There are two methods of installing the body depending on the cranes available.
a. If the truck is operational and can be driven, two 50 ton cranes can be used, one positioned at either side
of the body. The body can then be lifted high enough to allow the truck to be reverse propelled under the
body (Figures 8-1, 8-2 & 8-3).
b. If a large crane of approximately 150 ton is available, the body can be lifted over the chassis and installed
in a similar fashion to that in Step a.

board gaps and to center the body on the frame pivot. DO NOT install shims at the inside. A minimum of one
shim is required at the outboard end of both frame pivots.
3. Align the hole in pivot pin (3) with the cap screw hole in body ear (4). Push the pivot pin through shims (6),
frame pivot (7), and into pivot bushings (5 & 9).
4. Install cap screw (1) through the pin and tighten nut (2) to 407 N·m (300 ft lbs). Use washers, as necessary
on the nut side only, to provide proper thread contact.

2. Brake Cooling RPM Advance 1 should go to 24 volts (check at TB40-B).


3. Brake Cooling RPM Advance 2 should go to 24 volts (check at TB40-C).
4. The Brake Oil Temperature Gauge (930E only) should read near the middle of the red band.
5. The High Brake Oil Temp light should come on.
6. If the output functions do not turn on, read the value of the temperature for the selected input
in VHMS Watcher. It should be between 126 and 140 C.
7. If the temperature reading is low check wiring for high resistance between the probe and
Interface Module.
8. If the temperature reading is high check for shorts in the wiring.
9. It the temperature is in the right range but the output functions do not work, check the
Interface Module output circuit and wiring associated with any non-working function.

For 960E only:

Actuate and hold the lamp test switch in the operator's cab. The following lamps are driven by
the Interface Module and should come on (along with all the other lamps):
1. Park Brake Lamp
2. Low Fuel Lamp
3. Batt Charge Alt Failure Lamp
4. 1MWarning Lamp
5. High Brake Oil Temp Lamp

The functionality of the Fuel Level output can be confirmed by observing the needle position of the
gauge when the low fuel lamp comes on.

1. Dismount the sending unit only from the tank and position the gauge to a low level with a
screwdriver. The shaft of the screwdriver will turn this magnetically coupled sending unit
to any position you desire.
2. Set the gauge to empty. After 15 seconds, the Low Fuel Light should come on.
3. Return the gauge to the approximate position of the actual fuel in the tank before remounting
it.

The Park Brake Solenoid and Brake Apply output can be checked with the following procedure.

1. Turn parking brake off. Park brake valve should be energized and brake auto apply valve
should not. Energization of these valves can be determined by checking voltage across
the valves or check for magnetism in the valve with a screwdriver.
2. Use the GE DID panel to set the truck speed to some elevated value such as is used to
calibrate the speedometer. The park brake valve should continue to be energized. The
auto apply valve should continue to be off.
3. With the truck speed signal still high, turn the park brake on. The park brake valve should
continue to be energized, and the auto apply valve should stay off. m
