Hydraulics Safety
To operate correctly, hydraulic systems must store hydraulic fluid under high-pressure.
Accidents occur when personnel do not remove the hydraulic pressure before the
repairs are done on hydraulic systems. Even if the hydraulic system is disconnected,
and the engine is stopped, the systems remain under pressure.
The safety information that follows can prevent some accidents while you do repairs on
hydraulic systems:
Put on approved protective equipment and clothing that can prevent oil burns.
Protect components from the hot oil.
Before you do any repairs on hydraulic systems, remove all pressure.
The temperature of the fluid kept under pressure increases and can cause hazards when the
pressure is released.
The incorrect release of high-pressure oil can cause a hose to move quickly and suddenly.
Carefully and slowly, release the high-pressure oil, and hydraulic hoses.
Follow the specified procedure that gives the safety information about high-pressure oil release.
Hydraulic hoses with leaks can cause hot fluid release burns, cuts, abrasions, and the injection of
fluid into the skin. Possible hydraulic leakage is identified by some moisture with a mark of oil or
dirt near the hydraulic hose.
Do not use your hands, or fingers to check hydraulic hoses for leaks. Instead of your hands, or
fingers, move a piece of wood or cardboard along the hose.
Incorrect coupling causes damage to hydraulic components under low or high-pressure. Do not
connect a high-pressure pump to a low-pressure system. Do not put a low-pressure component,
hose, or fitting into a high-pressure system.
The pressure relief valves are installed in the hydraulic systems to prevent pressure increase
during use. Keep the relief valves clean. Do tests of the valves at intervals to make sure the
valves operate correctly.
Some procedures require the engine remain in operation. Know the correct procedure to follow.
Know the possible hazards, and dangers when you do service, and repairs while an engine is in
operation.
Check the hydraulic systems at intervals for leaks and worn hoses.
Keep the hydraulic oil for hydraulic systems clean and replace the filters at intervals.
To prevent the corrosion of the hydraulic systems, do the lubrication of the hydraulic hoses at the
set intervals.
Keep high-pressure steam or water from the seals of the hydraulic components.
Use a solution that cannot damage the component to clean hydraulic parts.
An incorrectly serviced hydraulic system can cause the component to fail. Safe hydraulic system
performance requires general maintenance.
Operation
The haul truck has safety harness anchor tie-off points. The function of the safety
harness anchor tie-off points is to make sure personnel do not fall from the haul truck
during maintenance.
Use an approved safety harness at all times while you perform any maintenance
and/or repair work above ground on the haul truck.
Read the safety harness instructions of the manufacturer carefully. The safety harness
must be within the installation limits of the manufacturer and securely installed to the
safety harness anchor tie-off points of the haul truck.
The weight support capacity of the safety harness anchor tie-off points is 2300 kg
(5100 lb).
Maintenance Tips
Always put on a safety harness and attach the safety harness to an anchor tie-off point
when you do work above ground.

Torque Specifications
The torque necessary for a fastener is related to size, grade, and condition of the
fastener. For example, it is necessary to torque a clean fastener, without lubrication,
approximately 33 percent more to get the same clamping force as the same fastener
with lubrication. The torque necessary for plain fasteners without lubrication is
approximately 10 to 20 percent more than a dry cadmium plated fastener of the same
size and thread.
All fasteners must be in satisfactory condition to get the correct clamping force. All
fasteners must be free of nicks and burrs, and the threads should be constant and
equal. Replace all fasteners in unsatisfactory condition.
Lubricated fasteners - most fasteners (plated, and some black fateners) come with a
thin layer of oil on them. If the fastener has dirt on it or is dry, clean the fastener and
apply a thin layer of oil. Use a good grade, low sulfur oil (10W or 30W). Apply the oil as
a spray, or momentarily put the fastener in the oil.
The table that follows shows the recommended torque for lubricated fasteners. It is
possible that the table below is not applicable to fasteners by manufacturers other than
LME.

Service
Liebherr recommends a preventative maintenance schedule to maintain the safe and
proper operation of the haul truck. Failure to follow the Liebherr factory recommended
preventative maintenance schedule can effect warranty consideration of failed
components that occur from lack of routine or recommended maintenance. The
climate, terrain, and mine operations can be very different from mine to mine. Use this
schedule only as an example of the minimum recommended requirements. The
application, haul profile, and load factors can dictate an increase in routine
maintenance. These changes to the schedule must agree with the local conditions and
operation for the haul truck. The preventive maintenance for the manufacturers of the
engine, wheel motor, and alternator will also be different. Refer to the Original
Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) manuals or with their service representative for
specific preventive maintenance information. The data, specifications and illustrations
in this maintenance schedule are based on the information that was available at the
time that the publication was written. The specifications, torques, pressures,
measurements, adjustments, illustrations, and other items can change at any time.

Warning! The proximity switch opens when the haul truck dump body is lifted. An open
proximity switch limits the haul truck forward speed to 8 km/h (5 mph) and prevents all reverse
movement.
Serious damage to equipment or personnel can occur if you override the proximity switch.
Make sure that the proximity switch functions correctly and the dump body up indicator
shows when the dump body is lifted. Do not override the dump body proximity switch.
Procedure
(Ref. Fig. 04-20-002)
Attach a pressure gauge to PG1 of the dump system actuator on the manifold
valve.
Move the dump control lever backward to the power UP position and HOLD.
Notice! The pressure set by the factory for PG1 and PG2 are 27 to 31 bar (390 to 450 psi), but
a pressure of 24 to 68 bar (350 to 990 psi) is satisfactory.
It is necessary to have 24 bar (350 psi) to fully shift the spool in the dump valve, and the
pilot caps are rated to 68 bar (990 psi).
If the pressure indication at PG1 is not between 27 to 31 bar (390 to 450 psi),
Stop the movement of the dump cylinder and adjust the hi-range potentiometer,
as follows:
Use a small common screw driver to adjust the hi-range potentiometer.
Turn the adjustment screw clockwise to increase the pressure, or
counterclockwise to decrease the pressure.
If the dump control lever is new, turn the adjustment screw clockwise eight full
turns, to start.
Move the dump control lever backward and note if the pressure indication at PG1
goes up or down.
Repeat the adjustment procedures until the pressure indication at PG1 is 27 to 31
bar (390 to 450 psi).
After the pressure at PG1 is correct, do this procedure:
Attach a pressure gauge to PG2 of the dump system actuator on the manifold
valve.
Move the dump control lever forward to the power DOWN position and HOLD.
If the pressure indication at PG2 is 27 to 31 bar (390 to 450 psi),
The pressure is correct.
If the pressure indication at PG2 is not between 27 to 31 bar (390 to 450 psi),
The up and down pressures are too far apart, and it is necessary to adjust the
frequency potentiometer, do this procedure:
Use a small common screw driver to adjust the frequency potentiometer until
PG2 is between 27 to 31 bar (390 to 450 psi).
Notice! It is possible to have PG1 and PG2 pressures in the correct range, but have no
movement of the dump cylinder.
After the pressures are in range, but there is no dump cylinder movement, you must adjust
the frequency potentiometer.
Repeat the dump control lever adjustment procedure until PG1 and PG2 are
between 27 to 31 bar (390 to 450 psi).

The brake pedal is the pedal on the left. The brake pedal controls the service brakes. If
the operator pushes on the brake pedal, the hydraulic pressure through the brake
system operates the brake calipers to decrease the speed of the brake discs. The
amber stop lights on the rear of the axle box illuminate when the brake pedal is
pushed.
The brake pedal has a dual valve. The left side of the dual valve is for the front brakes.
The right side of the dual valve is for the rear brakes.
The brake pedal interfaces with the system that follows:
Brake System (Ref. 09-50-000-DA)
Front Brakes (Ref. 12-30-000-DA)
Rear Brakes (Ref. 12-50-000-DA)
Retarding Pedal
The retarding pedal is the center pedal. If the operator pushes on the retarding pedal
the speed of the haul truck decreases. The retarding pedal is part of the Siemens AC
Drive System. The function of the retarding pedal is to stop the haul truck electrically.
The AC drive system can supply a high retard force to fully stop the haul truck and hold
the haul truck in that position, but the service brakes automatically get applied just
before the haul truck comes to a full stop.
During the time when the operator pushes on the retarding pedal and the speed of haul
truck decreases, the traction control unit (TCU) in the AC drive system gradually
applies the service brakes. The quantity that the service brake is applied is increased
at the same time the quantity of the electricity from the retard system is decreased.
This function is referred to as a "blended service holding brake" and causes the haul
truck to smoothly stop without pushing on the brake pedal.
The amber retard lights on the rear of the axle box illuminate when the retarding pedal
is pushed.
For more information on the AC drive system, refer to the Siemens manual.
The retarding pedal interfaces with the system that follows:
Brake System (Ref. 09-50-000-DA)
Rear Brakes (Ref. 12-50-000-DA)
Siemens AC Drive System (Ref. 05-80-000-DA)
Accelerator Pedal
The accelerator pedal is the pedal on the right. If the operator pushes on the
accelerator, the signal goes to the traction control unit (TCU) in the AC drive system.
The TCU uses this signal and a signal from the shift selector switch to calculate the
speed and direction (forward or reverse) for the haul truck. The TCU uses this
calculation and tells the applicable components to energize the rear wheel motors. This
causes the haul truck to move in proportion to the accelerator pedal movement, and in
relation to the shift selector switch.
The accelerator pedal also supplies a signal to the TCU to control the engine RPM.
For more information on the AC drive system, see the Siemens manual.
The accelerator pedal interfaces with the system that follows:

05-10 Engine
The engine on the haul truck is an MTU/DDEC, 20V4000, Diesel engine with 2720 kW
(3650 HP)..The engine uses the air cleaners to prevent the materials and particles that
are not necessary from the engine. The engine coolant is kept warm by the engine
heaters.
Operation
The Traction Control Unit (TCU) in the Siemens AC Drive System controls the speed of
the engine. The engine has a governor, but the output from the accelerator pedal is not
directly connected to the engine governor. The TCU supplies the engine speed
command. The engine governor can override the speed command from the TCU to
prevent some conditions. For example, an override condition can occur to decrease
smoke during the acceleration, or to prevent the dangerous operation of the engine.
Refer to the Siemens manual and the MTU/DDEC engine manual for more data.
Engine Heater
The engine heater is installed on the lower crossmember of the frame of the haul truck.
The engine heater operates on the diesel fuel from the fuel tanks on the haul truck.
In low temperatures, the engine does not create the necessary heat for normal
operations without an engine heater. An engine heater is installed to let the engine
keep the temperatures for normal operation.
The engine heater has two modes of operation. The primary mode of operation occurs
when the haul truck engine operates at idle speed. The secondary mode of operation
occurs when the haul truck is parked and the engine is not in operation. The mode of
operation is set by manual movement of the valves on the engine heater.
Primary Mode
When the haul truck is let to idle speed without an engine heater installed, the cylinder
walls cool and the fuel to the cylinders does not burn completely. Some of the
unburned fuel goes into the exhaust system. The temperature of the exhaust system
increases, and can cause the ignition of the unburned fuel in the exhaust system when
the haul truck returns to normal operation.
With an engine heater installed, the coolant from the after cooler circuit of the engine
goes through the heater. The warm coolant is then returned to the after cooler circuit.
This keeps the intake air to the cylinders at a hot temperature so that the fuel in the
cylinders completely burns.
Secondary Mode
If the haul truck is parked for some time in cold conditions, the oil viscosity or the
cylinders do not have sufficient heat for the ignition of the fuel to cause the engine to
start.
In the secondary mode, the heater keeps the engine warm. The coolant is removed
from the engine block, sent to the heater, and returned to the block. This warm coolant
keeps the engine block, and engine oil warm, so that the engine can start.

05-30 Radiator
(Ref. Fig. 05-30-001)(Ref. Fig. 05-30-002)
The radiator is attached to the engine skid. The sight gauge lets you see the level of
coolant in the radiator. The sight gauge is on the left side of the haul truck near the
ladder. The fill cover is on the hood of the superstructure.
The radiator links with these systems:
Engine (Ref. 05-10-000-DA)
05-30-001 Radiator
Operation
The engine sends hot coolant to the radiator. The radiator decreases the temperature
of the coolant and sends cool coolant back to the engine.
When you add coolant to the radiator, the thermostats are closed and there is air in the
radiator. When the engine is warm, the thermostats in the radiator open and coolant
flows through the radiator. The level of the coolant can decrease suddenly when the air
is released.
The radiator has cooling tubes that can be replaced separately. The rubber grommets
at the ends of the cooling tubes let the tubes expand and retract.
Cleaning
To clean the radiator use a high pressure, hot water cleaner at a maximum of 83 bar
(1200 psi). You must clean carefully the cores with a layer of epoxy to not cause
damage to the epoxy coating. Do a test on a small section of one tube before you start
to clean the radiator.
Replacement Tubes
Radiator cores can be repaired with special rubber plugs if replacement tubes are not
available. Install the plugs dry. The plugs are not recommended for systems that
operate over 1 bar (15 psi).
Tank Gasket
Apply a light layer of grease on the two sides of the gasket to make a better seal
before the gasket installation.
Be careful to prevent damage to the tank gasket during the installation.

The air cleaners remove unwanted material from the air. The air cleaners have an
upper body, lower body, and dust bins. The upper body has the primary and safety
filter elements. The lower body has air cleaner tubes. The tubes do the initial removal
of most of the dust that goes into the system. The dust bins collect the dust that is
removed from the airflow.
You must do the servicing of the filter elements when the airflow is at the maximum
permitted restriction set by the engine manufacturer. There are restriction indicators in
the cab to show the airflow to the engine. You can measure the airflow back pressure
to the engine with a manometer or an air servicing gauge calibrated in inches of water.
If the primary filter element becomes unserviceable, there is a safety element to
prevent the flow of unwanted material to the engine.

Operation
The filter restriction indicators monitor the air to the engine from the air cleaners.
The indicator shows green when the filter element in the air cleaners is serviceable. A
red indication shows that replacement of the air filter is necessary.
Operation
The engine heater has two modes of operation. The primary mode of operation is
when the haul truck engine operates at idle speed. The secondary mode of operation
is when the haul truck is parked and the engine is not in operation. The mode of
operation is set by manual movement of the valves on the engine heater.
Primary Mode
When the engine operates at idle speed for some time without an engine heater, the
engine cannot make enough heat to stay warm. The cylinder walls become cool and
prevent the complete combustion of the fuel in the cylinders. Some of the unburned
fuel goes into the exhaust system. When the haul truck returns to usual operation, the
temperature of the engine and the exhaust gases increases. This can cause the
ignition of the unburned fuel in the exhaust system.
On the trucks that have an engine heater coolant from the circuit after the cooler of the
engine goes through the heater. The warm coolant then returns to the circuit after the
cooler. This keeps the intake air to the cylinders at a hot temperature and helps for the
complete combustion of the fuel in the cylinders.
Secondary Mode
If the haul truck is parked for some time in cold conditions, it is difficult to start the
engine. The engine can not start because of the oil viscosity, or the cylinders do not
have enough heat for the ignition of the fuel.
In the secondary mode, the engine heater keeps the engine warm. The coolant goes
from the engine block to the heater, and returns to the block. This warm coolant keeps
the engine block and engine oil warm so that the engine can start.

Operation
The Siemens AC drive system starts when the master switch is in the ON position. The
traction alternator supplies the traction power for the haul truck. The 24 VDC battery
supplies the control power for the haul truck. The Siemens AC drive system does many
functions. The functions are:
control the output voltage of the traction alternator
control the speed of the engine
control the traction and retard for the wheel motors
supply electrical power to move the haul truck
supply air to cool the wheel motors, traction alternator, and the components in the control cabinet
supply heat to the inverters and choppers in cold weather
supply protection for over-voltages, over-currents, and over-temperatures
Refer to the Siemens manual for more information on the Siemens AC drive system.
Procedure
Attention! Compressed air can cause damage to components and loosen the wires.

Make sure there are no loose bolts or washers in the inverter cabinets.
Make sure that all plugs and EPROMs are correctly connected.
Refer to the Siemens maintenance manual for more information.
Closeout
Remove all tools, equipment, and unwanted materials from the work area.
Operation
The TCU has an internal computer and power supply. The TCU uses the commands
from the operator, and data and feedback from the haul truck to control the drive
system. The TCU uses temperature sensors to monitor the temperature of important
components.
If the TCU is defective, it can operate at a decreased level of operation. If the TCU
cannot operate correctly at a decreased level of operation, the TCU does a controlled
shutdown procedure.
The TCU is sealed, but is installed beside an air intake. The TCU stays cool from the
large quantity of air that goes through the air intake.
The TCU sends temperature information to the controls and indicators and the display
panel (Ref. 04-10-000-DA) in the cab. The TCU uses an automatic power reduction
and shutdown (APRS) procedure if one of the important components becomes too hot.
APRS decreases component operation and stops operation if necessary to prevent
damage to components.
The computer in the TCU monitors the performance of the haul truck and stores this
information. The service and maintenance personnel can access to this information is
through the drive system data port on the main dash (Ref. 04-12-000-DA). Refer to the
system fault code section of the Siemens manual.
Refer to the Siemens manual for more information on the traction control unit.
Operation
The inverters supply the power from the traction alternator to the traction motors. The
traction motors supply the power to turn the rear wheels of the haul truck. The wheels
and weight of the haul truck give resistance (a load) to the traction motor.
There are two isolated inverters. One inverter for each traction motor supplies
independent control for each wheel motor. Independent control is necessary because
of the large difference in wheel speeds during low speed movement.
When the retard pedal is applied, the inverters immediately remove the power to the
traction motors. Haul truck movement continues to turn the wheels, and the wheels
turn the shafts of the traction motors. The traction motors now generate electrical
power. This electrical power is sent to the retard grid and becomes a load to the rear
wheels. An increase in the electrical power to the retard grid will increase the load on
the rear wheels. This load slows and stops the haul truck.
Refer to the Siemens manual for more information on the inverters and traction motors.
Operation
During dynamic retard, electrical energy from the traction motors passes through the
resistors on the retard grid. The resistors turn the electrical energy into heat. The heat
is removed by the grid blowers. The traction control unit (TCU) uses the choppers to
control the electrical energy that passes through the retard grids.
A retard limit fault alarm shows on the display panel when the retard system is in full
operation, but is not able to decrease the speed of the haul truck. The operator must
apply the service brakes and the retard pedal to decrease the speed of the haul truck.
The retard limit fault alarm is removed when the speed of the haul truck decreases
enough.
Refer to the Siemens manual for more information on the choppers and retard grid.
Operation
(Ref. Fig. 05-88-001)
The AC drive cooling system has a main blower, cooling ducts, and pressure switches.
The main blower has an AC motor that operates the two fans. The fans for the main
blower are installed on the bottom of the control cabinet and above the traction
alternator.
Air enters through the cooling air inlet grills in the drive system control cabinet. The
fans move unfiltered air through an air-to-air heat exchanger in the control cabinet. The
main blower supplies air through the alternator cooling duct to the traction alternator. At
the same time, the main blower supplies pressurized air through the axle box cooling
ducts to the axle box. The air in the axle box goes through both wheel motors,
planetary gear boxes, disc brakes, and then out.
The main blower pressurizes the axle box to approximately 150 mm (5.905 in.) of
water. Two pressure switches in the axle box monitor this pressure. If the pressure in
the axle box goes lower than 25 mm (0.984 in.) of water, a 24 volt contact opens.
When the contact opens, it sends a signal to the traction control unit (TCU) that the
pressure is lower than the minimum permitted pressure.
If the temperature of the windings in the wheel motors or the traction alternator go
more than 88 °C (190 °F) an alarm operates on the display panel (Ref. 04-12-000-DA).
When this alarm operates, the operator must stop the haul truck and monitor the
temperature gauge. If the fault stays, the operator must shutdown the engine.
See AC Drive System Overtemp and Overload section (Ref. 04-12-000-DA) for more
information.

[Page left intentionally blank]
08 Dump System
The dump system has the components that follow:
Warning! The haul truck can only move forward at a set speed between 0 to 54.7 km/h (0 to 34
mph) when the dump body is the UP position. This speed is set by the manufacturer and agreed
on by the mine. An open proximity switch prevents reverse movement when the dump body is
the UP position.
Serious damage to equipment or personnel can occur if you ignore the proximity switch.
Make sure that the proximity switch operates correctly and the dump body up indicator
shows when the dump body is the UP position. Do not ignore the dump body proximity
switch.
System Operation
(Ref. Fig. 08-02-004)
The dump pumps send hydraulic fluid from the dump system hydraulic tank through
the pressure filters. From the pressure filters, clean hydraulic fluid flows to the dump
valve. The dump valve sends hydraulic fluid to the pilot control valve and the dump
cylinders.
If the dump control lever moves, a hydraulic signal from the pilot control valve goes to
the dump valve. The dump valve sends the necessary quantity of hydraulic fluid to the
dump cylinders to move the dump body.
The temperature of the hydraulic oil is monitored continuously during the operation of
the haul truck. If the hydraulic oil temperature is more than 93 °C (199 °F), a warning
shows on the computer display in the cab.
There are three test locations on the dump valve to test the pressure in the dump
system.
Dump body operations are:
Lift the Dump Body
Lower the Dump Body
Lower the Dump Body while Moving the Haul Truck
Lower the Dump Body while Moving the Haul Truck (Hill Start)
To do a "hill start", push and hold the override switch and push on the accelerator
pedal. As soon as the traction motors apply forward torque on the haul truck, release
the service brake.
Maintenance Tips
It is important that the dump system is clean and flushed when the hydraulic fluid has
contamination. Contamination can be caused by rust, water, dirt, or by a worn or
unserviceable component. Preventative maintenance that includes fluid analysis keeps
the dump system clean. A clean dump system can extend the life of the components.

System Operation
(Ref. Fig. 08-10-001)
The pump drive supplies the mechanical energy to operate the dump pumps.
The dump pumps supply a flow of the hydraulic fluid to the dump system. The pumps
are fixed displacement gear pumps. The flow of the hydraulic fluid is in proportion to
the speed of the pumps. The dump pumps receive hydraulic fluid from the dump
system hydraulic tank through two suction strainers. The dump pumps constantly
supply hydraulic fluid to the dump valve.
The dump pumps are set displacement gear type pumps. There are two sections to the
dump pumps, a front section and a rear section. The two sections have different
capacities.
The output rate of the dump pumps is in proportion to engine speed. The dump pumps
move 1140 L (300 U.S. gal)per minute of hydraulic fluid oil at an engine speed of 1900
rotation per minute (rpm). A pump speed of 2171 rpm gives a dump time of 20 to 30
seconds.
Specifications
Dump cycle is approximately 34 seconds UP, and 14 seconds DOWN.
The usual operating temperature is 50 to 60 °C (122 to 140 °F) at 20 °C (68 °F) ambient
temperature.
The maximum system pressure is 207 bar (3000 psi) ±3.5 bar (50 psi).

System Operation
(Ref. Fig. 08-30-002)
The dump valve supplies the pilot control valve with hydraulic fluid. The dump control
lever controls the two electrical, hydraulic, proportional (EHP) valves on the manifold
valve. The EHP valves control the pilot control valve.
The dump control lever sends a signal to the applicable EHP valve. The EHP valve
sends the necessary hydraulic pressure to the applicable port on the pilot control valve.
This pressure moves the spool in the pilot valve.
There are four positions in the pilot control valve as follows:
Power up
Hold
Float
Power down
The spool inside the pilot control valve moves as a result of the selection on the dump
control lever. The pilot control valve sends the hydraulic fluid through the manifold
valve to the dump valve.
Procedure
(Ref. Fig. 08-30-003)
Put a container below the pilot control valve (1) to collect the hydraulic fluid.
Disconnect the tube assemblies (5) and put protective covers on the tube
assemblies and open ports.
Remove the capscrews (2), locknuts (3), and washers (4).

Fault Isolation
Possible Causes
1. Too much oil bypassing in pilot valve.
Corrective Action
1. Do an inspection of the spool and bore for wear or scores. To examine the serviceability of the
pilot valve this procedure:
Slowly lower the dump body (Ref. 13-30-905-DA).
Stop the engine.
Remove the pilot cap of the pilot valve.
Remove the pilot valve spool.
Make sure that the spool moves freely in the bore of the pilot valve.
Replace the pilot valve as necessary.
Fault Isolation
Possible Causes
1. The manifold does not get 24 V current (RRV2 or RRV1).
2. The adjustment of the overload relief valve is too low.
3. Pilot valve spool not in correct position.
4. The spool of the dump valve is stuck (dump body does not go down).
Corrective Action
1. Make sure that the manifolds gets power.
2. Do a check for the correct relief valve adjustment. Increase the relief pressure if necessary.
3. Examine the serviceability of the pilot valve (Ref. 08-30-500-DA) or (Ref. 08-30-510-DA). Clean,
flush, or replace the pilot valve, and repair as necessary.
4. Measure with this procedure:
Find the test pressure ports on the extend and retract side of the dump cylinder (at the
flange tee).
Measure the pressure on the extend side.
If the pressure is 224 bar (3250 psi), (equal to the relief valve adjustment), repair the dump
valve as necessary. Make sure that the spool moves freely.
Fault Isolation
Possible Causes
1. Pilot valve spool not in the correct position.
2. Main relief valve adjustment too low or valve stuck open.
Corrective Action
1. Examine the serviceability of the pilot valve with this procedure:
Slowly lower the dump body (Ref. 13-30-905-DA).
Remove the pilot hose connection from one of the pilot caps.
Install a rod in the end that contacts the spool end.
Pilot operate the opposite end cap.
Make sure that you feel the rod move.
Remove the rod.
Install the rod in the other end and repeat the whole procedure.
2. Replace the valve, or see OEM service instructions for main relief valve maintenance.
Fault Isolation
Possible Causes
1. Too much oil bypassing in pilot valve.
2. The float cartridge valve is not in the correct position.
Corrective Action
1. Do an inspection of the spool and bore for wear or scores. Examine the serviceability of the pilot
valve (Ref. 08-30-500-DA).
2. Do an inspection of the float cartridge valve in the manifold with this procedure:
Make sure that the manual override switch is not in the shifted position.
Examine the float cartridge valve for contamination and flush if necessary.
Make sure that the valve does not get 24 V. The valve only gets 24 V when the dump body
is in the float position, almost all the way down.
The dump control lever sends an electrical command to the pilot control valve. After
that a hydraulic signal from the pilot control valve goes to the dump valve. The dump
valve sends the necessary quantity of hydraulic fluid to the dump cylinders to move the
dump body.
The dump body control lever is a controller with four functions. It has three positions .
The usual position if the controller is in the center.
Operation
The four functions are:
Lower the dump body
Raise the dump body
Float
Hold
The three positions are:
Forward
Center
Back
The dump body control lever operations are:
1. Push and hold the dump control lever forward to fully lower the dump body. If the dump control
lever is released before the proximity switch engages, the dump body stops and in that position.
As the dump body goes lower than the proximity switch, it goes automatically into the Float
position against the dump body pads on the frame. The Float function prevents damage to the
haul truck structure.
2. Pull the dump control lever to the BACK position to raise the dump body.
3. Release the dump body control lever to the CENTER position to HOLD the dump body in
position. There is no HOLD function when the dump body proximity switch is in operation.
Maintenance Tips
Procedure
(Ref. Fig. 08-40-002)
Attach a pressure gauge to PG1 of the dump system actuator on the manifold
valve.
Pull and hold the dump body control lever to the UP position.
Notice! The pressure set by the factory for PG1 and PG2 are 27 to 31 bar (390 to 450 psi), but
a pressure of 24 to 68 bar (350 to 990 psi) is satisfactory.
It is necessary to have 24 bar (350 psi) to fully shift the spool in the dump valve, and the
pilot caps are calibrated to 68 bar (990 psi).
If the pressure indication at PG1 is not between 27 to 31 bar (390 to 450 psi),
Stop the movement of the dump cylinder and adjust the high range potentiometer
with this procedure:
Use a small flat screw driver to adjust the high range potentiometer.
Turn the adjustment screw to the right to increase the pressure, or to the left to
decrease the pressure.
If the dump body control lever is new, turn the adjustment screw to the right eight
full turns, to begin.
Pull the dump body control lever back and note if the pressure indication at PG1
goes up or down.
Repeat the adjustment procedures until the pressure indication at PG1 is 27 to 31
bar (390 to 450 psi).
After the pressure at PG1 is correct, do this procedure:
Attach a pressure gauge to PG2 of the dump system actuator on the manifold
valve.
Push and hold the dump body control lever to the DOWN position.
If the pressure indication at PG2 is 27 to 31 bar (390 to 450 psi),
The pressure is correct.
If the pressure indication at PG2 is not between 27 to 31 bar (390 to 450 psi),
the up and down pressures are too far apart, and it is necessary to adjust the
frequency potentiometer with this procedure:
Use a small flat screw driver to adjust the frequency potentiometer until PG2 is
between 27 to 31 bar (390 to 450 psi).
Notice! It is possible to have PG1 and PG2 pressures in the correct range, but have no
movement of the dump cylinder.
After the pressures are in range, but there is no dump cylinder movement, you must adjust
the frequency potentiometer.
Repeat the dump control lever adjustment procedure until PG1 and PG2 are
between 27 to 31 bar (390 to 450 psi).
Closeout
Remove all tools, equipment, and unwanted materials from the work area.
Operation

07-20-705-AA).
Remove all tools, equipment, and unwanted materials from the work area.
System Operation
Hydraulic fluid goes from the dump pumps through the pressure filters. The clean
hydraulic fluid goes from the pressure filters to the dump valve.(Ref. Fig. 08-60-002)
The pressure filter has a visual differential pressure indicator. If the red button on the
indicator shows, it is possible that the filter is clogged. If the filter is clogged, it is
necessary to replace the filter element.
The pressure filter goes into bypass at 3.5 bar (50 psi). The visual indicator pops up at
2.41 bar (35 psi). If the pressure differential pressure measurement is 3.5 bar (50 psi)
across the valve, then the hydraulic oil is going through the bypass and not going
through the pressure filter. If the red button on the indicator pops up, the filter may be
in bypass. Push the red button back down before the haul truck is started, or while the
haul truck is in operation. If the visual indicator pops up again, replace the filter
element (Ref. 08-60-700-DA).
If the dump system shows signs of contamination and the elements in the pressure
filters are clean, the problem is downstream of the pressure filters.

09 Brake and Steering System
The brake and steering system has the systems that follow:
Steering System (Ref. 09-40-000-DA)
Brake System (Ref. 09-02-000-DA)
Operation
(Ref. Fig. 09-02-006)(Ref. Fig. 09-00-001)
The brake and steering hydraulic pump pushes hydraulic fluid through a filter and into
the accumulators through the valves in the manifold. The accumulators are charged
with a nitrogen gas to 125 bar (1810 psi). After the hydraulic fluid from the brake and
steering hydraulic pump goes into the accumulators, the nitrogen gas is compressed
more. This compressed nitrogen gas is a pressure reserve for the brake and steering
control.
The brake and steering system operates at a pressure of 207 bar (3000 psi). The
brake and steering pump controls the hydraulic pressure to the brake and steering
system. The range of operation for the brake and steering system is 200 to 220 bar
(2900 to 3190 psi).
If the pressure in the brake and steering system goes near 220 bar (3190 psi), the
brake and steering pump de-strokes to keep the pressure at 207 bar (3000 psi).
If the pressure in the system goes near 200 bar (2900 psi), the pump comes back on
stroke, as necessary, to keep the pressure at 207 bar (3000 psi).
If the engine or brake and steering pump becomes unserviceable, the accumulators
supply pressure for the system. Check valves in the brake and steering system do not
let the pressure in the accumulators bleed.
There is a visual and an audio alarm if the pressure in the brake or steering system
goes below 172 bar (2490 psi). You must stop the haul truck as safely and quickly as
possible and shutdown the engine.
If the temperature of the hydraulic oil in the brake and steering system goes higher
than 93 °C (199 °F), an alarm shows on the display panel. After this overtemp alarm
shows, it is necessary to stop the haul truck as safely and quickly as possible and
shutdown the engine.
Operation
The general section of the brake and steering system has the system schematic that
follows:
Brake and Steering System Schematic (Ref. 09-02-990-DA)
Maintenance Tips
Procedure
(Ref. Fig. 09-02-001)
(Ref. Fig. 09-02-002)
Attention! If the unloader adjuster is in too much (to the right) the current setting of the
unloader valve does not show.
Turn the unloader adjuster to the left a small quantity and turn the steering column. This
lets the pump come back on stroke and the current setting of the unloader valve to show.
Turn the unloader adjuster of the brake and steering pump to the right until 220.6
bar (3200 psi) shows at GPA when the pump comes back off stroke.
Compare the pressure at GPA with the pressure at G4.
The two values are usually the same for the time when the pump comes off
stroke.
If the pressures at GPA and G4 are not the same for when the pump comes off
stroke,
Set the pump to come off stroke when G4 is at 220.6 bar (3200 psi).
Read and record the outlet pressures like this:
Read and record the outlet pressure at the GPA port of the pump when the pump
is on stroke.
The GPA with the pump on stroke must be approximately 220 bar (3190 psi).
Read and record the outlet pressure at the GPA port of the pump when the pump
is off stroke.
The GPA with the pump off stroke must be approximately 17 bar (250 psi).

The brake and steering pump has the components that follow:
Pressure Compensator
Unloader Valve
The brake and steering pump connects to the components that follow:
Unloader Valve Accumulator
Check Valve for Unloader Control
Component Description
The brake and steering pump is an in-line axial piston pump with a variable output. The
angle of the swashblock sets the output volume of the brake and steering pump. The
larger the angle of the swashblock, the more fluid the pump supplies. The swashblock
is internal to the brake and steering pump. The pistons move over the face of the
swashblock which causes them to move in and out of the pump.
If the pistons move out of the pump, it makes an empty space and atmospheric
pressure pushes fluid from the brake and steering hydraulic tank into the inlet of the
pump to fill the empty space. Then, if the pistons move in, hydraulic oil is pushed out of
pump into the brake and steering hydraulic system. Resistance to the flow of this fluid
causes pressure in the hydraulic system.
Pump Control
The pressure compensator and the unloader valve supply the pump control. They
control the variable output of the brake and steering pump. The pressure compensator
is attached to a control piston and to the swashblock by a control pin. The control pin
can change the angle of the swashblock which changes the output volume of the brake
and steering pump. The unloader valve decreases the output of the pump to about 17
bar (250 psi) when the pump is off stroke.
The unloader valve controls the hydraulic pressure to the brake and steering system. If
the system pressure increases to 220 bar (3190 psi), the brake and steering pump
comes off stroke, and stand by at 17 bar (250 psi). At the time the pump comes off
stroke, the pressure on the other side of the check valve for unloader control is 220 bar
(3190 psi). This pressure decreases because of leakage in the brake and steering
circuit. If the system pressure decreases to 200 bar (2900 psi), the brake and steering
pump comes on stroke until the system pressure increases back up to 220 bar (3190
psi).
The unloader valve accumulator is installed near the hydraulic tank. The function of the
unloader valve accumulator is to supply a precharge of 124 bar (1800 psi) for the
unloader valve.

Component Description
(Ref. Fig. 09-20-001)
The pressure filter works together with the strainers to clean the hydraulic oil in the
brake and steering system. The pressure filter is downstream of the brake and steering
pump(s). Pressurized hydraulic fluid goes from the brake and steering pump(s) through
the pressure filter. Clean hydraulic fluid goes from the pressure filter to the brake and
steering manifold.
There are test points on the pressure filter to do a differential pressure check. The
pressure filter rate is 207 bar (3000 psi) maximum with bypass relief at 3.5 bar (50 psi).
If the pressure measurement is 3.5 bar (50 psi) across the test points, then the
hydraulic oil is going through the bypass and not going through the pressure filter.
There is an element in the pressure filter that cleans the hydraulic oil. The element can
be removed for inspection and replaced.
Maintenance Tips
To do a test of the pressure across the pressure filter, the temperature of the hydraulic
oil must be 40 to 65 °C (104 to 149 °F) and the engine at high idle, approximately 1650
rpm.

Component Description
(Ref. Fig. 09-30-001)
The brake and steering manifold is an assembly of many valves, adapters, and
switches. The function of the manifold is to let pressurized hydraulic fluid from the
brake and steering pump flow to the applicable system as necessary.
Hydraulic fluid comes from the brake and steering pump, through the pressure filter,
into the manifold. The front and rear brakes, park brake, and steering use the hydraulic
fluid as necessary to operate. Pressure switches for the front brake, rear brake, park
brake, and steering send a signal to the TCU.(Ref. 05-20-000-DA) for monitoring and
display. Check valves in the manifold permit one direction of flow and do not let the
accumulators bleed down if the pump or engine fails.
There are five test ports to apply hydraulic pressure:
G1 - front brake
G2 - rear brake
G3 - steering
G4 - system
G5 - park brake
The three bleed valves to bleed the brake and steering accumulators are:
NV1 and NV2 - for the brake system
SV1 - for the steering system
The brake and steering manifold connects to the systems that follow:
Steering System (Ref. 09-40-000-DA)
Brake System (Ref. 09-50-000-DA)
The manifold also has pressure outputs to the auto lube system and the dump system.
The hydraulic pressure in the steering accumulator and unloader valve accumulator
bleeds automatically three to five minutes after the engine stops. The two brake
accumulators do not automatically bleed down after engine shutdown. If necessary,
there are three bleed valves to manually make sure there is no pressure in the system.

Operation
(Ref. Fig. 09-40-001)
The brake and steering system supplies hydraulic fluid to the steering system through
the manifold. Hydraulic fluid goes through the flow amplifier, to the steering valve
attached to the steering column. The hydraulic fluid is blocked at the steering valve
until the operator turns the steering wheel.
The steering system is hydraulically operated. There are no mechanical connections
between the steering column and the wheels of the haul truck. There are hydraulic
hoses from the steering column to the flow amplifier valve and to the steering cylinders.
If the operator turns the steering wheel, hydraulic fluid, in proportion to the movement
of the steering wheel, is sent to the flow amplifier valve. The flow amplifier valve
increases the flow of the hydraulic fluid from the steering column to the steering
cylinders. Hydraulic pressure extends or retracts the steering cylinders which causes
the front wheels to turn.
The steering accumulator supplies the steering system with pressurized hydraulic fluid
in an emergency. If the brake and steering pump has a failure, there is enough
pressure from the accumulator to safely stop the haul truck.
There is an alarm on the display (Ref. 01-00-000-DA) that shows when the pressure in
the steering system goes below 172 bar (2490 psi). It is necessary to safely and
quickly stop the haul truck when this alarm shows.
Procedure

System Operation
(Ref. Fig. 09-41-001)
The function of the steering accumulator is to supply the steering system with hydraulic
pressure if the pump or engine becomes unserviceable. There is nitrogen gas in the
steering accumulator to keep a charge of 117 bar (1700 psi). The steering accumulator
has a 170 L (45 U.S. gal) capacity.
During operation, hydraulic fluid from the brake and steering pump keeps the pressure
in the accumulator at 200 to 220 bar (2900 to 3190 psi). Check valves in the system do
not let the accumulator bleed down if there is an engine or a pump failure.
The steering accumulator automatically bleeds down three to five minutes after the
engine stops. There is a shutoff valve on the brake and steering manifold to manually
bleed the steering system (Ref. 09-41-300-DA).

Operation
The steering cylinders receive hydraulic oil from the flow amplifier valve in the steering
system. The quantity and force of the hydraulic oil causes the steering cylinders to
retract or extend to change the direction of the haul truck wheels. The steering
cylinders operate in two directions. While one steering cylinder extends and pushes on
the idler arm, the opposite steering cylinder retracts and pulls on the idler arm. The
idler arm attaches to the tie rods and steering arms.
The steering cylinders operate with pistons and use rubber piston seals that are
resistant to synthetic oil.
Maintenance Tips
Defective rubber piston seals could cause a leak in the steering cylinders and the
steering to be slow.

Operation
(Ref. Fig. 09-50-001)
There is one accumulator for the front brakes and one accumulator for the rear brakes.
Hydraulic fluid from the brake accumulators is sent to the dual valve of the brake pedal.
The left side of the dual valve is for the front service brakes, while the right side is for
the rear service brakes. When the brake pedal is pushed, hydraulic fluid from the
accumulators is sent through the dual valve to the brakes.
If the hand brake switch (Ref. 01-00-000-DA) is the ON position, the hand brake
solenoid is energized. if the hand brake solenoid is energized, hydraulic pressure is
applied to the front and rear service brakes. A hand brake ON signal from the pressure
switch is sent to the TCU (Ref. 01-00-000-DA). Wheel motor operation to cause
movement of the haul truck is prevented when the hand brake is ON.
The Siemens AC drive system sends a signal to the hand brake for use during brake
blending and anti-roll back.
If the park brake switch is in the APPLY position, or the master switch is moved to the
ON position, the park brake solenoid is de-energized. Hydraulic pressure that holds the
spring back from the park brake is removed, and the park brake is applied. A signal is
sent to the park brake indicator to come on. The park brake release contactor K108
opens to prevent haul truck movement.
if the park brake switch is in the RELEASE position, the park brake solenoid is
energized. Hydraulic pressure on the spring causes the park brake to release. The
park brake indicator in the cab goes off. The park brake release contactor K108 closes
to permit haul truck movement.
There is an alarm on the display (Ref. 01-00-000-DA) that shows when the pressure in
the brake system goes below 172 bar (2490 psi). It is necessary to safely and quickly
stop the haul truck when this alarm shows. Use a constant pressure on the brake pedal
and do not pump the brakes when the brake pressure is low.
System Operation
(Ref. Fig. 09-52-001)
The brake accumulators have a 7.57 L (2 U.S. gal) capacity.
The brake and steering pump(s) supplies the brake accumulators with hydraulic fluid if
there is a pump or engine failure. The accumulators supply the brake system with
sufficient pressure to apply the brakes to stop the haul truck. There is nitrogen gas in
the brake accumulators to keep a charge of 124 bar (1800 psi).
During operation, hydraulic fluid from the brake and steering pump(s) keeps the
pressure in the accumulators at 200 to 220 bar (2900 to 3190 psi). Check valves in the
system do not let the accumulators bleed down if there is an engine or a pump failure.
There are two shutoff valves on the brake and steering manifold to manually bleed the

10 Auxilliary Systems
Overview
The auxilliary systems on the haul truck are:
Auto Lube System (Ref. 10-10-000-DA)
Gear Oil Cooling System (Ref. 10-20-000-DA)
Fire Control System (Ref. 10-40-000-DA)
Liebherr Payload Weigh System (Ref. 10-50-000-DA)
LITES Truck Control System (Ref. 10-60-000-DA)
SBS Computer (Ref. 10-80-000-DA)
Operation
(Ref. Fig. 10-10-001)
All adjustments to the time the auto lube system is in operation are done through the
LITES. The Programmable Logic Control (PLC) (Ecomat) in LITES controls the
operation time and frequency of the hydraulic lubrication pump. Liebherr Mining
Equipment personnel can adjust the time periods for the operations that follow:
The time between when the haul truck starts and the auto lube system operates
The time between lubrication cycles
The maximum period of time that the lubrication pump is energized.
Manual lube starts when the operator pushes the manual lube switch in the cab. The
manual lubrication operates for a period of 60 seconds but, the Liebherr Mining
Equipment personnel can adjust this time period.
The over flow from the steering and brake amplifier valve supplies the lubrication pump
((Ref. 09-43-000-DA)). The steering has priority on the lubrication pump. The
lubrication pump does not come on if the steering requirement is equal or more than
the brake and steering pump output.
The first auto lube cycle starts after the haul truck is in neutral gear for five minutes.
The lubrication pump stays on for a maximum of one and half minutes if the steering
system requirement is less than the brake and steering pump output. The supply line
reaches the maximum pressure in 15 to 20 seconds. The Ecomat turns off the
lubrication pump two seconds after the supply line got to 172 bar (2490 psi)at the
pressure switch.
After the initial lubrication cycle, the lubrication pump comes on each 20 minutes. 24
volts is sent to the solenoid vent valve when the lubrication pump operates. The pilot
line of the vent valve senses the hydraulic pressure, and the vent valve closes until the
pressure increases in the supply line.
The 24 volts is removed from the vent valve and the pressure in the vent valve pilot
line decreases to 0 bar (0 psi) when the lubrication pump stops. The vent valve opens.
The pressure in the supply line decreases to 0 bar (0 psi) when the vent valve opens.
If after two cycles the auto lube switch (end of line) does not close, the auto lube fault
indicator in the cab starts to flash.
Grease Tank
Lubrication Pump
Vent Valve Assembly
Injectors
Pressure Switch
Component Description
Grease Tank
The grease tank holds 90 kg (198 lb) of grease for the auto lube system.
Lubrication Pump
The lubrication pump has a flow control valve, that is set by the factory. You must not
touch the flow control valve. If the flow control valve is moved by accident, it must be
set again. To set again, turn the adjuster screw all the way in, and then turn it back out
1/2 a turn.
The lube pump has a pressure reducing valve. This valve must be set to 24 bar (350
psi) hydraulic pressure. At low inlet pressure of 20 to 25 bar (290 to 360 psi), and low
inlet flow of 7 lpm (2 gpm), the pump ratio is 9:1. Thus, the supply line pressure can get
to 217 bar (3150 psi) with the pressure reducing valve set to 24 bar (350 psi), and the
flow control valve turned out 1/2 turn (in the event that the pressure switch did not turn
off the lube pump). The pump ratio comes near 11.0:1 at higher inlet pressure and
flow. The adjustment range of the pressure reducing valve is 11.7 to 31 bar (170 to 450
psi). It is very important that you set the pressure reducing valve and do not touch it
after it is set.
Injectors
The injectors are manually adjusted and then set for the quantity of grease to supply.
The injector has an adjustment screw that controls the quantity of travel for the piston.
The output of grease is at a minimum when the adjustment screw is fully tightened.
Retraction of the adjustment screw increases the grease output .
Pressure Switch
The pressure switch is set to 172 bar (2490 psi). The function of the pressure switch is
to control the maximum supply line pressure.

Component Description
The cooling system for the gear oil has two isolated circuits. One circuit is for the left
rear wheel motor, the other circuit is for the right rear wheel motor. Each circuit has a
pump, a direct acting relief valve, a filter, and an oil cooler. The oil coolers are installed
in front of the radiator. The oil filters are installed on the inner frame near the fuel and
hydraulic tank. The gear oil cooling pump is installed on the end of the right dump
pump. That pump drives the hydraulic motor for the left and right cooling pumps.
Hydraulic fluid from the dump system goes through the gear oil cooling pump and the
hydraulic motor when the system is serviceable. The gear oil cooling pump uses
hydraulic oil from the dump system hydraulic tank.
The left and right pumps connected to the hydraulic motor are gear pumps.
The gear oil from the final drives in the wheel motors flows from the final drives to the
left and right pumps. After that the gear oil goes through the oil filters, through the oil
coolers, and back to the final drive reservoirs.
The direct acting relief valve at the inlet of the two oil filters open if the inlet pressure is
more than20.7 bar (300 psi) and the gear oil is released back to the return line. Thus,
the gear oil goes around the filter and cooler and returns to the final drive reservoirs.
The gear oil cooling pump has a relief valve set at 206.8 bar (3000 psi). If the hydraulic
pressure is more than 206.8 bar (3000 psi)the oil cooling pump does not supply the
hydraulic motor and the fluid returns directly to the hydraulic tank. The hydraulic motor
does not operate and the gear oil from the wheel motors does not go through the gear
oil cooling system.

Operation
Caution! Operation of the fire control system immediately releases the dry chemical.
The system operation stops the engine and can lower the visibility.
Make sure that the haul truck is safely and fully stopped before operation of the fire control
system.
Automatic Operation
If the fire control system senses a fire, the alarm LED flashes and the audio alarm
operates each second. The fire control system is in operation.
After a very short interval, the alarm LED flashes quickly and the alarm operates
continuously. The fire control system is about to release the dry chemical and stop the
engine. After the dry chemical is released, the alarm LED and the audio alarm operate
every six seconds.
The operator must do these steps:
Stop the haul truck in a safe location.
Set the hand brake and park brake.
Stop the engine.
Get out of the haul truck quickly and safely.
Move away from the haul truck to a safe location.
Follow the site safety rules.
Manual Operation
Hit the plunger actuator installed on the console to put the manual fire control system
in operation. You can operate the fire control system from the ground level actuator.
If there is a fire in the safe area, the operator must do these steps:
Stop the haul truck in a safe location.
Set the hand brake and park brake.
Pull the ring pin and hit the red plunger on the console installed actuator.
Stop the engine.
Get out of the haul truck quickly and safely.
Move away from the haul truck to a safe location.
Follow all applicable site safety rules.
Maintenance Tips
The automatic fire detection system contains battery power source. The battery
module must be replaced when the yellow LOW BATTERY LED and audio alarm
operate at three second intervals.
See your fire control system documentation for more data.
Operation
The four transducers in the suspensions send payload data to the LPWS. The LPWS
takes the suspension data to make the calculations of the payload weight. The payload
data analyses can be used to prevent wear and damage to the suspensions. Refer to
(Ref. Fig. 10-50-001).
The LPWS uses two methods to make the calculations of the payload weight data.
Method A
Method A calculations depend on the correct sequence and operation of the hand
brake. When the haul truck is loaded, internal communications tell the LPWS to start
the calculation of the payload data. Sixty seconds after the haul truck is loaded, the
operator released the hand brake, and the truck does not move, the LPWS records the
payload weight.
Method B
Method B begins payload data calculations when the hand brake is released. The
LPWS begins to receive stable readings from the transducers when the hand brake is
released. The LPWS takes data from the four transducers every tenth of a second
when the truck moves. These data is used to calculate a rolling average and variance
for the past 3 seconds of historical data. After the variance reaches a minimum point (
Minimum Variance = least signal noise), the tonnage calculation is determined. The
payload can be determined dynamically because of the filter algorithm.
Maintenance Tips
A difference between Load A and B is normal and is the result of the truck dynamics.
Load A is the most accurate value, and Load B is the alternative value if an error
occurs with Load A. Improper hand brake sequence and/or quick release of hand
brake before load settling occurs, can result in abnormal Load A values.
Procedure
Check and put in the OFF position the battery disconnect switch.
Danger! Failure to put the battery disconnect switch in the OFF position can cause injury to
personnel.
Keep the battery disconnect switch in the OFF position at all times.

Operation
If the truck moves the value changes based on the rolling average calculation of Load
method B.
A general fault detection is provided on the inboard display utilizing a fault code
system.
The system records approximately 2887 load cycles, based on a 139 bytes/load with
392K memory available (372K X 1024 = 401408 bytes). If the memory is full, there are
2 settings to determine the action:
Ring Buffer Mode Not Selected-No more Data is recorded
Ring Buffer Mode is Selected- Approximately half of the Data (oldest Data) recorded is
overwritten.
Operation
AC Drive System Fault Indicator
With the engine in operation and a fault input from the Siemens AC drive system, the
indications that follow will occur:
the drive system fault indicator will come on
the AC drive system alarm buzzer operates
The operator can push the fault reset switch to try to reset the AC drive system and the
drive system fault indicator. If the light stays on, there is a fault that cannot be reset.
Stop the engine and tell maintenance about the problem.
The duration of time for the manual lube is set by the global constant, manual lube on.
The time is defaulted for 60 seconds.
Power OFF Sequence for the PLC and the SBS Computer.
The PLC uses an output to latch the coil of a relay on when the ignition switch is ON.
When the ignition switch is OFF, the relay stays on until the PLC de-energizes it. After
the correct shutdown sequence, the PLC de-energizes itself and the SBS computer.
Miscellaneous Controls
The miscellaneous controls are as follows:
door proximity sensor and associated safety logic
wiper relay controlled by the washer ON switch
door alarm
A buzzer, with a periodic beeping, is an indication of an unsafe condition. For example,
if the cab door is open and the drive selector switch is in forward or reverse.
Operation
The function of the SBS computer is to control the display panel. The SBS is the
interface between the Siemens AC drive system and the operator's display panel.
A DC to DC regulator supplies 12 VDC to the SBS computer.
The SBS is a PC7, Pentium III, 700MHz computer. The SBS is programmed at the
Liebherr factory in Newport News with all the necessary hardware and software
installed. Thus, the SBS can operate with minimal setup by service personnel. No
additional software is necessary.
The SBS has a 512 MB compact flash disc for a hard drive. The compact flash disc
has the operation system and the necessary software for the computer to operate. The
operator interface with the SBS is a standard 101/102-key PS/2 keyboard. You must
not install a mouse, thus all selections are done through the keyboard.
The table that follows supplies a small list of the keys to navigate within Microsoft
Windows with the keyboard:
KEY FUNCTION
Alt activate or inactivate the menu bar
Alt+Enter display property sheet for current selection
Alt+F4 close active windows
Alt+Spacebar display shortcut menu for the window
Arrow keys navigate fields within a group
Ctrl+Esc access the Start Menu on the Task bar
Enter activate
Esc cancel
Tab move to the next field of group of fields
The compact flash disc is pre-programmed with the Siemens dash program and the
Liebherr dash configuration (dashcfg). You must not add other software programs to
the SBS. Additional programs can cause a failure in the SBS and necessary
replacement of the compact flash disc.
The Liebherr dash configuration has options that can be configured with the Liebherr
dashcfg tool. The dashcfg tool permits the configuration of Metric or English units of
measure. It also permits the selection to use modular mining, and the selection of text,
such as English or Spanish.
Maintenance Tips

11 Suspensions
(Ref. Fig. 11-00-001)
The haul truck has an oil and nitrogen suspension system.
The suspension system has the components that follow:
Front Suspension (Ref. 11-10-000-DA)
Rear Suspension (Ref. 11-20-000-DA)
Control Arm Assembly (Ref. 11-30-000-DA)
Overview
The suspension is the support that holds the weight of the haul truck. The suspension
absorbs the vibrations when the haul truck moves over the ground. The suspension
adjusts the height of the haul truck and keeps it level.
11-00-001 Suspensions
All internal wear surfaces are lubricated with oil. The nitrogen gas pressurizes the oil in
the suspensions. When the haul truck moves along rough ground, the check valves
and holes in the suspension control the movement of the oil.
The suspension has an elastomer rebound pad to prevent damage to the suspension.
The function of the elastomer rebound pad prevents stress to the suspension. If the
suspension becomes defective, the pad holds the suspension and prevents
metal-to-metal contact. The pad gives protection when the suspension is in full
extension or when it is fully compressed.
Maintenance Tips
Usually, when all the pressure is released, then charged again in the suspension,
nitrogen gas goes into solution in the oil. This lowers the pressure after a period of
time. When the pressure is released from the suspensions (new or rebuilt suspensions,
or pressure released for oil fill), you must examine the pressure after 24 hours.
Procedure
(Ref. Fig. 11-10-003)
Notice! The weight of the lower control arm is 847 kg (1850 lb).
Use an applicable lift device that can hold this weight.
Put an applicable support below the lower control arm and lift the support until
you feel resistance.
Disconnect the lubrication hoses (5) and install protective caps on the hoses (5)
and open ports.
Warning! The suspension cylinder moves in the direction of the frame when the bottom pin is
pulled.
Make sure all personnel are at a safe distance.
Notice! The weight of the front suspension (dry) is 893 kg (1950 lb).
Use an applicable lift device that can hold this weight.
Safely attach an applicable lift device to the lift point on the suspension (6).
Remove the capscrews (1), washers (2), retainer (3), and pin (4).
Use pin puller (Liebherr P/N T-124-C Ref. 02-00-000-DA) to remove the pin (4), if
necessary.

12 Wheel Assemblies
(Ref. Fig. 12-00-001)
The wheels support the haul truck and supply a rolling, load bearing link between the
haul truck and the ground. The haul truck has six tires, two on each rear wheel
assembly and one on each front wheel assembly.
The wheel assemblies have these systems:
Front Wheel Assembly (Ref. 12-10-000-DA)
Tire and Rim Assembly (Ref. 12-20-000-DA)
Front Brakes (Ref. 12-30-000-DA)
Rear Wheel Assembly (Ref. 12-40-000-DA)
Rear Brakes (Ref. 12-50-000-DA)
Park Brake (Ref. 12-60-000-DA)
The wheel assemblies have a section that follows:
Jacking Points (Ref. 12-02-000-DA)
Overview
The rear wheel assembly uses the rear wheel motors to operate. The movement of the
rear wheels causes the haul truck to move.
The front wheel assembly receives turn signals from the steering system and moves
only when the haul truck moves.
The front and rear brakes stop the wheels of the haul truck when you apply the service
brakes. The park brake is applied when hydraulic pressure is removed from the park
brake caliper.
Location
There are four fill ports around each wheel to fill or drain the wheel bearing oil. The
correct oil level mark is on the bearing retainer. The center of the hub cap is
plexi-glass. The clear plexi-glass lets you see the oil level in relation to the oil level
mark.
The front wheel assembly is installed on the spindle. The tire and rim assembly is
installed on the front wheel assembly. The tires turn and cause the wheels to turn
when the haul truck moves. The wheel moves around the spindle smoothly because of
the wheel bearings.
The brake disc is attached to the wheel assembly. The wheel stops movement when
the brakes are applied.
Maintenance Tips
You can remove the wheel separately from the spindle, the kingpin, or steering arm.
You can remove the complete wheel unit.
The removal of the wheel is not necessary to remove the brake calipers. You must
remove the wheel to remove the brake disc.
Oil that contains contamination, for example small metal pieces or a change in color,
shows that there is a problem that you must repair. Refer to the maintenance schedule
(Ref. 03-30-000-DA) to know when to get a sample of oil from the wheel for inspection.
See Technical Data/Maintenance Guidelines for instructions and specifications (Ref.
03-00-000-DA) about the wheel bearing lubricant type, capacity and check/fill
procedures.

Component Description
The weight of the tire and rim assembly is 7750 kg (17100 lb), and has a height of
3.912 m (12.8 ft), and a width of 1.4 m (4.6 ft).
The larger tires can have a weight of 7938 kg (17500 lb).
Danger! Fatigue fractures can occur in areas that are outside the air chamber.
If the air in tire is not released, the assembly can break apart when you remove the nuts with
enough force to cause injury or death.
Make sure that you release the air from the tire before you do maintenance.
Fatigue fractures can occur in areas that are outside the air chamber. For example in
the lock ring groove in the rim base. This type of fatigue fracture do not cause a
decrease of air pressure in the tire, and there is no indication of a fatigue fracture until
you remove the nuts.
If the air is not released from the tire, the assembly can break apart when you remove
the nuts. The quantity of force when the assembly breaks is enough to cause injury or
death.
Maintenance Tips
If you change the tire size you must change the setting in the electronic control. See
your Liebherr service representative.
Procedure

The larger tires can have a weight of 7938 kg (17500 lb).
Danger! Fatigue fractures can occur in areas that are outside the air chamber.
If the air in tire is not released, the assembly can break apart when you remove the nuts with
enough force to cause injury or death.
Make sure that you release the air from the tire before you do maintenance.
Fatigue fractures can occur in areas that are outside the air chamber. For example in
the lock ring groove in the rim base. This type of fatigue fracture do not cause a
decrease of air pressure in the tire, and there is no indication of a fatigue fracture until
you remove the nuts.
If the air is not released from the tire, the assembly can break apart when you remove
the nuts. The quantity of force when the assembly breaks is enough to cause injury or
death.

cylinders, suspension cylinders, pivot points, and steering system components of the haul truck.
Connect the welder ground cable directly to the work piece before you start to weld.
Operation
Typical Material Properties
The frame of the haul truck is made of nickel-copper alloy steel referred to as ASTM

Welding amps - 275 amps
Power volts - 27
Travel speed - 245 mm (9.646 in.) per minute
Optional electrode - AWS E8018 C-3 or equivalent for maintenance welding
You must fill all craters to a minimum of 85 percent of the full cross section of the welds. Refer to
the schematic diagram for the applicable quantity to fill.
The undercut must not exceed these parameters:
The weld overlap must not be more than 1/16 inch beyond the fusion line of the weld.
The sum of the diameters of visual or surface porosity, piping porosity included, must not be more
than 3/8 inch in one four inch length of weld. There must not be a void more than 3/32 inch in
diameter.
Welds must have no cracks.
Alloy steel absorbs hydrogen gas very easy. In welding operations, the source of
hydrogen gas is the external layer on the electrodes.
For manual or arc welding, use only electrodes with a low-hydrogen layer (8018C3 or
equivalent). For other welding methods, use a low-hydrogen procedure, such as inert
gas shielded arc, or submerged arc welding.
Moisture on the electrodes can cause a weak weld joint.
Electrodes
Electrodes that have an external layer that is low-hydrogen absorb moisture when they
are exposed to the air. Moist electrodes collect a large quantity of hydrogen during the
weld procedure. Electrodes that are moist cause under-bead weld cracks even though
they are low-hydrogen electrodes. You must use the correct electrodes and the
electrodes must be dry.
Repair
It is not always possible for a maintenance welder to weld in a flat position. A "stick"
electrode AWS E8018 C-3 is recommended.
Before you weld a crack of a defective weld, find the size of the crack with one of the
procedures that follow:
a magnetic particle inspection,
a dye penetrant inspection,
or other equally positive procedure.
Do the steps that follow to repair the crack:
Increase the temperature of the repair area to 150 °C (300 °F) for a distance of approximately six
inches in all directions from the repair area.
Remove the crack and metal around the crack to approximately two inches more on both ends of
the crack.
Remove the sharp edges with a grinder and weld again.
Buttering Technique
In (Ref. Fig. 14-02-001), there is a piece of metal that is defective because of a fracture
that extends fully through the base metal. Cracks do not frequently occur at a
convenient 90 degree angle. Sometimes a large piece will fall out when the part is
beveled, as shown in the illustration.
The best system is to use a double "V" or double "U" joint. This is not possible if there
is no access from the two sides and the weld must be made fully from one side.
To weld with the buttering technique, do this procedure:
"Butter" or pad the empty spots to fill them first.
Make the root opening as small as possible before the root bead.
Cover the two sides.
Let the weld padding bead overlap the face of the plate for a small area.
The function of the buttering technique is to greatly decrease the quantity of cross
section of the weld bead applied at one time.
Maintenance Tips
To keep low-hydrogen electrodes dry, do this procedure:
Open the quantity of electrodes that you can use in a two hour interval.
Put open electrodes in an oven or other hot and dry area that is 120 to 150 °C (248 to 300 °F).
Dry the electrodes that were exposed to the air for some time in an oven before use.
The electrode manufacturer can recommend the time and temperature to put the
electrodes in the oven. These values change with different types of electrodes.
Make sure that you dry the electrodes that come from containers that are not air tight
before use.
If possible grind and blend weld with the parent metal.
Do not try to use a wide weave bead to fill up the large gap (Ref. Fig. 14-02-001) in this
type of joint.
Operation
The function of the repair procedure is to cover minor repairs of casting where you
cannot treat the part with heat after repairs. It also gives information how to prepare a
damaged bore for machining.
The repair procedure for Ni-Cr-Mo steel castings uses the SMAW or FCAW process.
Make sure that you refer to ASTM A-487-4Q, ANSI/AWS D1.1 Structural Welding
Code.
Make sure that the base metal agrees with ASTM A-487 or equivalent.
Make sure that the SMAW filler metal agrees with AWS A5.5/E8018-C3.
Make sure that the FCAW filler metal agrees with AWS A5.29/E81T1NiL.
Make sure that the shielding gas composition is 75% Argon and 25% CO2.
Make sure that the flow rate is 30-40 CFH (850-1130 LPH) (use with E81T1NiL).
Procedure
Remove all metal, as necessary, with one of the procedures that follow:
air carbon arc gouging
chipping
grinding
If you remove metal with air carbon arc gouging, do this procedure:
Use a preheat temperature of 204 °C (400 °F) minimum for a distance equal to the thickness of
the part, but not less than approximately three inches in all directions from the repair area.
Grind the surface to remove all the carbon layer before you start to weld.
Fully remove all defects.
Make sure that the joint geometry agrees with AWS D1.1 Section 2.
-or-
Make sure that the joint geometry is approved by engineering department.
Make sure that the surface is clean and free of all unwanted material, and agrees
with AWS D1.1 Section 3.
Inspect all the surfaces for defects and make sure it is prepared correctly.
Make sure that the preheat temperature and the temperature between the passes
is from 150 to 260 °C (300 to 500 °F).
Make sure that you increase the temperature of the castings to 204 °C (400 °F)
before you start to weld.
Make sure that the minimum temperature before you apply heat is 10 °C (50 °F).
Increase the temperature of the local area equal to the thickness of the casting,
but not less than approximately six inches in all directions from the repair area.
Make sure that you weld in the flat position if possible.
Make sure that the current is DCEP for the two procedure types (SMAW and
FCAW).
Make sure that the necessary current for the electrode size agrees with qualified
weld procedures per AWS D1.1.
Make sure that the width of the weld pass is not more than three times the core
diameter of the electrode you use for the flat position.
Correctly fill all the craters before you stop the arc.
Clean each weld pass with applicable procedures before you make a weld pass
again.
