Safety Decals
There are several safety decals on your BELL EQUIPMENT machine. Their exact location and description
of the hazard are reviewed in this section. Please take the time to familiarise yourself with these.
Keep the decals clean by using a soft cloth, water, and soap. Do not use solvent, gasoline, etc. You must re-
place a decal if it is damaged, missing or cannot be read. If a decal is on a part that is replaced, ensure a
new decal is installed on the replacement part. Contact your BELL EQUIPMENT Representative for new
decals.
There are other decals on your machine, such as the BELL identification decal, but only the decals of spe-
cial relevance to the safety of the operator are shown here. Refer to the Parts Manual for additional decals.

The exhaust valves are closed in the intake stroke. Fresh air is drawn in via the open intake valves. When bot-
tom dead center is reached, all four valves are closed and the piston starts to move upwards. Briefly after bot-
tom dead center, one of the two exhaust valves is opened.
Due to the exhaust back pressure in the exhaust manifold, additional exhaust is now routed into the combus-
tion chamber. After the valve is closed, the air in the cylinder is further compressed. Since there is now more
air in the cylinder, more compression work has to be performed. This means that there is also more braking
power.
Briefly before top dead center, when the compression pressure is highest, an exhaust valve is opened again
and the compression pressure is released (decompressed). The piston thus cannot be accelerated during the
downward movement. In addition, there is no longer any gas in the cylinder during the working stroke. This
means that a vacuum occurs during the downward movement, which again produces an increased braking
effect.

Function
The ratio of the recalculated exhaust quantity to the
fresh air quantity is called the exhaust gas recircula-
tion rate (EGR rate). It is determined by the engine
management (MCM) control unit (A4). To do so, it
forms a ratio of the mass of the drawn in or super-
charged fresh air and the mass of the recalculated
exhaust.
The AGR rate is regulated by the exhaust gas recir-
culation controller. This opens and closes the throt-
tle valve in the exhaust gas recirculation line via the
control lever and thus controls the exhaust quantity

Purpose
When the engine is running, the crankshaft position
sensor (B600) provides voltage signals to the en-
gine management control unit (MCM) (A4) which
are used to calculate the speed as well as the posi-
tion of the crankshaft.
Design
Inside the engine oil level sensor (B605) there is a
pre-resistor as well as a resistor wire which are con-
nected in parallel. In addition, there is an NTC resis-
tor which is connected in series before these two.
NTC is short for "negative temperature coefficient",
i.e. the electric resistance decreases as the temper-
ature increases.
ENGINE
Design
Inside the charge-air temperature sensor in the
charge-air housing (B617) there is an NTC resistor.
NTC is short for "negative temperature coefficient",
i.e. the electric resistance decreases as the temper-
Design ature increases.
ENGINE
Purpose
Using rail pressure sensor (B622), the engine man-
agement control unit (MCM) (A4) determines the
actual rail pressure.
Design
The charge-air pressure and temperature sensor
(B616) comprises of two separate electric compo-
nents to measure the charge-air pressure and
charge-air temperature.
• Charge-air pressure sensor:
The semiconductor pressure sensor detects the
charge-air pressure in the charge-air pipe piezo-
electrically. The pressure sensor consists of four
pressure-dependent resistors (strain gages) ar-
ranged in a silicon membrane as well as of evalu-
ation electronics which are supplied with 5V DC
by engine management control unit (MCM) (A4).
• Charge-air temperature sensor:

NOx Sensor
Purpose
NOx sensors are used to measure the NOx raw
emissions in the exhaust gas. They are hard-wired
to their control unit, thus forming an assembly.
To carry out NOx measurements, the sensors are
heated to 800°C by their control unit during normal
operation. Function
The exhaust brake system used is referred to as a
decompression brake system.
The braking effect is produced according to the fol-
lowing principle:

Normally, soft stop will be active. In this mode, when the bin up button
is pressed and the bin is moving upward, the bin will slowly come to a
stop within 3%. If soft stop is active, and a dynamic end stop is ap-
proached, the bin will begin to slow down 3% from the dynamic end
stop and then come to a complete stop at the dynamic end stop.
Hard Stops
J2-103/36 To activate hard stops the SSM is used. Once hard stops are active,
(I-tip Button)
the bin will stop suddenly if requested. This is achieved by cutting the
current to the relevant solenoid. If approaching a dynamic end stop, the
current to the bin up solenoid will be cut 0.8% from the dynamic end to
allow for momentum. Hard stops are also active when driving and lifting
the bin. This is done to ensure that the relevant gear limit for the bin is
not exceeded.
For driveline assist to function the following conditions needs to be met:
Only when the output shaft speed goes below 275 rpm will the park
brake be applied.
Only when all these parameters are met - CCU3 will energize the out-
put for bin up solenoid until the bin achieves its dynamic stop or the bin
cylinder protection feature will cause the de-energizing of the output.

• The lock-up clutch piston - located inside the con-

It’s splined to the converter front cover and al-

Hydraulic fluid forced between the front cover and

This “sandwiches” the clutch plate between the pis-

pressure circuit and the exhaust backfill circuit by the regulator valves.
TRANSMISSION
When a clutch is disengaged, pressure in the clutch circuit is exhausted to sump through the exhaust backfill
circuit.
Low exhaust backfill pressure connects to the clutch feed passage. When a clutch is released pressure in
the exhaust backfill circuit is controlled by the exhaust backfill valve.
The low pressure keeps the clutch feed passages free of air. The absence of air in the system is vital for con-
trolling clutches since air compresses, causing a shift to be either too hard or too soft.
NOTE
The HD's hydraulic system utilises six solenoids and regulator valve assemblies.
• Each solenoid is labelled. Solenoids PCS1 and PCS2 are normally open.
• All other solenoids are normally closed.
• Each solenoid and solenoid regulator valve controls a clutch applied circuit.

OPERATION
The hydro-pneumatic struts compress and extend
during the normal day to day operation. The struts
are fitted with covers to protect the chrome rod from
damage during operation.
The struts are connected to the manifold block as-
sembly via two hydraulic hoses. The manifold block
assembly comprises of the following components:
• Manifold Block
• Pressure Transducers
• Solenoid Valve (pressure equalising valve)
• Fittings
The system has set parameters that when met, acti-
vates the solenoid valve and allows pressure to
equalise between the two rear struts.
Equalising the pressure between the struts elimi-
nates twist occurring in the rear cradle of the ma-
chine as a result of one strut having a high pressure
and the other a low pressure. The cradle of the ma-
chine is connected to the rear chassis by means of
a rubber pivot joint. This configuration allows for ro-
tational motion only, no lateral motion between the
cradle and the rear chassis.
The equalising solenoid valve can be activated
manually by selecting the manual override option in
the Hydraulics menu via the CDU whilst in service
mode. This should only be done when the struts are
being charged (or discharged).
NOTE
Please see SIB0000344/2015/0200 (Ref
No.: 1022/2017) for safe working practise

Measures To Prevent Fires
Check daily that the machine and equipment are
free from dirt and oil. In this way the risk of fire is re-
duced and it is easier to detect faulty or loose
components.
Do not point the high pressure jet at personnel. Check if the electric leads have been damaged by
chafing which could lead to a short circuit and fire.
Check that there is no damage to hydraulic and
