same size but different hardness level. It is not allowed to exceed its max allowed use
times, otherwise it may cause serious result.
The engine is devided into two parts from main bearing hole center: upper parts
is cylinder block and bottom part is crankshaft case. Crankshaft case and 7 main
bearings compose a integral frame with good rigidness. There is no washer between
frame and cylinder block. LOCTIT 510 seal glue shall be spread at the bottom plane
of cylinder block when installing.
Between cylinder block and crankshaft case, besides 14 main shaft bearing bolts,
there are 24 M8 bolts which connect the two parts into a good rigid structure.
Concentrating equal cylinder center distance and thin wall dry cylinder sleeve are well
adopted. Main oil passage goes from front to the rear at left side of block when
front-look. At the right side, an auxiliary oil passage connects with 6 cooling nozzles
as injection cooling piston.
Principal axis tile is alloy tile with thin wall and anti-friction plating at its
surface.
2.Cylinder cap
Cylinder cap adopts four-air-valve structure and low bow wave ratio. It is a
six-plane one-cylinder-one-cap structure machining part. Air inlet and exhaust
passages are arrange at its two sides. One each cap, there are 4 M14 cap bolts and 4
M12×15 double-head bolts sharing with its neighbouring cylinder. Auxiliary bolts
are pressed by pressing block with V-shape pressing plane and two ends adopts
suspending pressing block. Both main bolts and auxiliary bolts are screwed by corner
screw method.
On cylinder cap, injector is installed vertically between air inlet valve and
exhaust valve.
Cylinder liner is steel plate structure which allows repeated use. However,
carefully check is needed for timely relplace of damage. Cylinder cap and cylinder
line have respective fix position with engine block. Please note when installing!
3. Piston
Page 7
SHACMAN
Inne r cooling oil passage piston (picture 3-1)with compulsive cooling is used to
improve life of piston and piston ring. The first ring. The goove is cast iron inlay ring
which requires good adhesionto guarantee good adhesion strength and heat pass effect.
There are two gas ring and one oil scrape ring. The first gas ring is double-plane
trapezium bucket ring with cuts inside the cast iron inlay ring. The second ring is
conic ring. The third ring is supporting spring cast iron oil ring, chromeplated at its
double blades surface.
Piston cooling
Piston with inner cool oil passage needs to be cooled through oil supply from
nozzle. However, when the engine is at low speed or idle speed, heat load of piston is
not very high. Too much oil supply will increase piston heat transfer, lower effective
power which is actually not good for combustion. Meanwhile, in order to guarantee
sufficient pressure to lubricate when engine running, we use pressure limit valve (see
picture 3-2) on nozzle. When oil pressure is lower than 0.15Mpa, engine is always at
low speed, and oil presure is too low to overcome spring pressure and open pressure
limit valve. Pressure limit valve closes oil passage. Nozzle stops injection to
piston.With increase of roation speed, engine oil pressure become higher. When the
Page 8
SHACMAN
pressure is higher than 0.15Mpa, it starts to overcome spring pressure. The pressure
limit valve starts to open. And the nozzle starts injection. With the increase of oil
pressure, the open extent of pressure limit valve becomes bigger untill fully open. In
this way, the engine under different work conditions guarantee good cooling to inner
cool oil passage in difference extent. It not only guarantees piston heat radiation, but
also decrease oil consumption.
4. Connecting rod
Connected by two M14×1.5 connecting rod bolts. Screw of the bolts is subject
to rotation screw regulation requirements.
Note: Connecting rod bolts are only allowed to use once and then replace.
Overuse is not allowed, otherwise it may result in damage accident due to bolts
broken.
Crankshaft is forged with alloy steel mould with12 balance azotized blocks and
needs dynamic balance. Silicon shock absorber is installed in front of crankshaft. And
front and rear oil seal of crankshaft are box type.
Page 9
SHACMAN
Crankshaft gear is installed onto crankshaft with heat.
Using SAE1 flywheel shell and flywheel (flywheel combination disc diameter
Φ475), gear ring fixed with flywheel by bolts.
WP12 series diesel engine uses integral structure of gear chamber and flywheel
shell. Rear-installed gear drive decreases gear noises and improve integral reliability.

Loosen nut 1: adjust adjusting bolt 1 till its touch area with air valve bridge
becoming 0.
Loosen nut 2: adjust adjusting bolt 2, insert 0.6mm clearance gauge between
adjusting bolt 2 and air valve bridge; adjust adjusting bolt 2 till piston to its end and
clip the gauge.
Adjust air valve clearance to 0.6mm, screw adjusting bolt untill no clearance
with gauge, keep this condition and lock the nut; adjust adjusting bolt 1, insert 0.4mm
clearance gauge between adjusting bolt 2 and air valve bridge; adjust adjusting bolt 1
till piston to its end and clip the gauge, keep this condition and lock the nut; check air
valve clearance again and adjust if necessary.
7.Lubrication system
The function of lubrication system is friction decrease, rinse, cooling and against
rust. The choose of oil should be in accordance with company standard regulations.
Multi-degree oil is better for cold-start performace and should be choosen at priority.
The oil using the whole year such as 15W40 can only be used in regulated
temperature range. For occasional low temperature, oil can be pre-heated or changed
into the degree which is suitable with environment temperature.

●when doing vechile design, the convinience of changing lubrication and
checking oil level should be taken into consideration.
●On engien delivery, lubrication is usually not filled and should be filled before
starting the vechile.
●WP12 Euro III diesel engine is regulated to use CF-4 or CH-4 degree
lubrication.
●When engine is still and vehicle is on horizontal ground, oil gauge must show
the oil level between maximum and minimum value.
●The inclination angle of oil basin is not allowed to over regulated value.
●Up to now, no positive fuction of oil additive was found to the running of
WP12 series engine. Therefore, any kind of oil additive is not allowed to use.
Please note: CE 、CD 、CC 、CB 、CAdegree lubrication are all forbidden to
use on WP12 series diesel engine. Also note: oil filter element shall be replace every
time when replacing oil.
Page 12
SHACMAN
1.1 Pressure lubrication
Through filter collector, oil pump sucks oil from oil basin and presses to oil filter
and oil cooler, and then distributes to the lubrication point through oil passages. Most
oil reaches main bearing and through oil holes on crankshaft finally reaches
connecting rod bearing. Cylinder cap surface and piston pin are lubricated by oil
injection from nozzle. Air valve control system, supercharger, common-rail oil pump,
air compressor and middle gear bearing all realize pressure lubrication though oil pipe
and oil groove. Piston top is cooled by injecting oil from nozzle to inner cool oil
chamber; oil is cooled by cooling water through oil cooling device. Oil pressure in oil
circulation system is adjusted by pressure limit valve inside oil pump.
When starting engine, due to low oil temperature and high adherency, the oil
pressure meight be high in short time.But with water temperature in engine increase,
oi temperature increases and oil pressure will gradually decline. When engine
full-load water temperature is at 80 ℃-95 ℃, normal oil pressure shall be 350kPa~
550kPa.
In order to guarantee engine life, improve its reliability and extend oil replace
interval, oil capacity of oil basin is enlarged. With welded moulding, its combination
insection with crankshaft case has deep overlapped margin with high hardness. It has
concaved oil basin seal liner fixed by 12 oil basin holding block and M8 bolts which
ensures good seal effect.
Dry engine oil filling volume (oil gauge upper line): WP12-36L.
Note: all the fuel should meet the regulation in appendix C of National standard
GB17691-2005.

When installing fuel returning pipe, avoid touch with high-temperature parts on
vehicle (such as exhaust pipe, turbo charger, exhaust smoke return pipe etc.)
Throttling area is not allowed to exist in fuel return pipe. Do not touch fuel return pipe
with sharp edges, fold with angles nor twist. Improper installing of fuel return pipe
may cause fuel leagkage to engine.
Page 14
SHACMAN
Fuel return of WP series diesel engine is through inner fuel return of cylinder
cap(illustration 3-7). In this way which injector installing hole is inside cylinder cap,
complete seal of fuel return must be ensured.
When high-pressure fuel carrys out proper high-pressire seal to a standard fuel
inlet connector through fuel inlet connector inside cylinder cap and go to injector, the
minimum pressing force needed is 12kN and maximun 22kN. Too high force may
cause overload on fuel inlet connector and then result in leakage.
Function
Coarse filter system is installed at down part if fuel tank fuel passage. It will
separate the water and tiny grains from fuel (making use of its multi-medium
structure)
The water separated will be collected to the water utensile at the bottom of filter.
And then discharged from discharging plug.
Optional heater
If installing electric heater at the top of coarse filter, when fuel flows over coarse
filter, it will be heated by 350W heater.

Check if coolant level, fuel and oil level meet requirements before starting
engine.
When starting engine, if the engine not started within 15 seconds, try again after
2 minutes.
After starting engine, run the engine at idle speed for 2-3 minutes. Oil pressure
should be higher than 100kPa. Before cooling water temperature is higher than 60℃,
do not suddenly run with big load. It will influence engine endurance and reliability.
Page 23
SHACMAN
Engine oil level check: check should be 5 minutes after stopping the engine. For
engine working with load, must reduce load and lower speed rotation.keep at least 5
minutes at idle speed.
For safety purpose, rotation parts and high-temperature parts should be installed
with guards.
Under any condition, there must be enough running space between engine and
accessories and outer fixed parts such as chassis. In this way, when engine works with
inherent movements (such as start and stop), it will avoid conflict with chassis and
meanwhile provide convinience to engine inspection at great extent.

Weichai Euro III diesel engine is designed and produced under strict quality
guarantee system. Every unit has passed regulated tests. And engine is a kind of
precise machinery. To keep long time function and good performance has close
connection with normal maintenance. Usually, the following reasons result in early
breakdown:
Bad quality spare parts. Especially use fake parts to save cost, which will greatly
shorten engine life;
2) Method of stethoscopy: find out nature and extent of problem part through
listening to its abnormal sounds.
Page 32
SHACMAN
4) Method of comparison: For some assemblies and components, replace it to see
if there is problem on it.
The above methods are for mechanical problems which can be also used on Euro
III engien. Such problem can be eliminated according to the methods of Euro II
engine elimination.
5) Problem diagnosis light: when a problem happens, flashing code can be read
through flashing code light on dashboard. And reason can be found with reference to
flash code explanation table.
Page 33
SHACMAN
Note: Flash time and intervals of flash code can be difinted by engine
manufacturer.
Page 34
SHACMAN
Note!
It is very careful work to judge the cause of engine problem. Before the cause is
clear, do not dismantle or remove engine casually. Otherwise, more seriour problem
may be caused due to improper distantling or remove.
Not only special repair and maintenance devices shoule be used for key parts like
high-pressure oil pump and supercharger, but also experienced mechanics
needed.Therefore, customers without experience and condition should not dismantle
or adjust by themselves.
Page 35
SHACMAN
Problem 1: engine can not start
For vehicles whose starter is controlled by ECU, when starting, ECU firstly
check neutral speed signal, and then put out electricity-driving start relay. When relay
is connected, battery will drive starter to work.
There are several factors for check: neutral switch, starter relay, battery,
connections of vehicle stop switch under vehicle.
◆check the position of vehic le stop switch under vehicle (it should be at
disconnection position)
◆check neutral speed switch (usually installed on gearbox) and its connections.
Try to use emergency start (press down ignition switch and keep for over 5 seconds)
Page 36
SHACMAN
Common rail systems has high requirements to fuel passage. Both low-pressure
fuel passage (fuel tank coarse filter, secondary filter, fuel return)and high-pressure
passage (high-pressure oil pump, common rail, high-pressure oil pipe, injector) should
be complete sealed. Any problem happens at any of above tache, rail pressure cannot
be normally established.
Note: The first start of vehicle must exhaust and refill oil for low-pressure fuel
passage and high-pressure fuel passage.
Method of exhaust: Mainly exhaust air in coarse filter. Loose deflation bolts on
coarse, press the manual pressing pump on coarse until oil come out continuously
from deflation bolts.
Page 37
SHACMAN
◆After deflating all air in low-pressure passage, if the engine still cannot be
started, then it can be judged that there is air in high-pressure passage. Air needs to be
deflated from high-pressure passage, then.
Method of deflation: loose high-pressure oil pipe of one cylinder, drive the
engine by starter to run until continuous oil come out from high-pressure oil pump.(It
is not suggested to dismantle high-pressure oil pipe connector frequently!)
Method to check: loose outlet bolt of secondary filter. Drive the engine by starter,
see if there is fuel injected out or flowing out. If only a little fuel flows out, then it can
be judged that filter elements is blocked.
◆Check initial voltage value of rail pressure sensor is around 500mV, or if set
rail pressure is 300-500bar (by KTS problem diagnosis device). If not normal, first
check if connected parts are fixed. If there is no inspection device, pull out rail
pressure sensor connector and try to restart.
◆Check if flux meter is working normally. Pull out connectors and try to restart.

Two rotation sensors are installed on engine at outsides of flywheel shell and
high-pressuure oil pump. The respective functions are: crankshaft position sensor and
cylinder judging sensor. Timing of electric-control engine injection depends on these
two sensors. If engine cannot start, thest two signals will all lose.
②Sensor is not fixed tightly which results in too big or too small clearance
between sensor and induction teeth. (usually 1±0.5mm)
①The engine does not run for a long time: extend oil return pipe under diesel
level.
③Crankshaft rotation signal and camshaft signal are too weak. Synchron reaction
time is too long: readjust it.
④Environment temperature too low and preheating device not working: replace
preheating device.
⑤Quality of diesel and oil is too bad and cannot reach standards: replace into
standard diesel and oil products
⑥Starter or flywheel gear ring conflicts: replace starter or flywheel gear ring
Page 41
SHACMAN
⑦Worn piston ring and cylinder liner or not airproof in air valve: replace piston
ring, cylinder liner or air valve seat and air valve
⑨Fuel inlet and return pipe of fuel tank does not meet requirements on inner
diameter and pressure design
Gammy return: It is a kind of mode that engine running with problem. ECU finds
problem on engine but does not stop it. It only restricts engine powet so that engine
rotation can only reach 1500r. Then the driver can drive the truck to nearest service
station to repair.
Problems on injector can mainly devided into mechanical failure and connection
failure.
Page 42
SHACMAN
◆Do acceleration test by problem diagnosis device and find out problem
When water, oil and air inlet are at too high temperature, ECU will activate
overheating protection function and limit engine power.
①Too low water level in water tank: check if there is leak. Refill water
②Too slow fun rotation speed or no rotation: check driving parts of fun
Page 43
SHACMAN
④Water pump belt loose: adjust strain according to regulation
⑤Water pump washer damaged, water pump leaf wheel worn: check and repair
or replace
⑦water pipe seal damage and air go inside: check water pipe, connectors,
washers and change damaged parts
①Too low oil level in oil basin or oil lack: check oil level and leaks, repair and
refill.
②High water temperature: Find out above mentioned reason and eliminate
◆Reasons causing too high inlet air temperature and method of elimination
This is usually caused by signal of one sensor invalid. Check flash code
reference to find out reasons. Method of elimination is same with 1.4.
Page 44
SHACMAN
During driving, the speed is unstable and sudden frequent short acceleration
happens.
◆Method of Elimination: Cut off electricity and restart. If the problem still
exists, check seal of fuel pipe and eliminate it.
◆ Air inlet pressure sensor is a sensor for ECU to estimate air inlet
volume(installed on air inlet pipe). Water temperature sensor is for judging engine
heat load(installed on water discharge pipe). Rail pressure sensor is for measuring fuel
pressure of commom rail pipe (installed on commom rail pipe).
Note: If problems in 3.1, 3.3, 3.4, 3.5, and 3.6 happen, engine will enter “Gammy
return” mode.
Page 45
SHACMAN
Page 46
SHACMAN
Problem 4: Engine keeps running at 1000r.
Under this condition, accelerator pedal does not work: ECU estimates load
through signal from pedal potentiometer. When there is problem on pedal,
considering of safety, ECU will control engine return to 1000r idle speed.
Injector does not work normally: Check every cylinder injector and wiring
For trucks with speed sensor, speed signal still put out when stop: check
speedometer and speed sensor signal and connections
Bad quality of fuel, water or wax inside: clean fuel system and replace fuel filter.
Air exits in fuel low-pressure passage: check seal of oil pipe and connectors,
deflate air.
Page 47
SHACMAN
Note: ① It is ECU normal function to increase idle speed due to low water
temperature.
② when there is other load (e.g. A/C is on), idle speed will natually increase
100r.
Explanation:
◆Weichai Euro III engine uses Bosch 2nd-generation high pressure common rail
system. High pressure oil passage has high requirements to oil passage (both
high-pressure and low-pressure).Many problems casued by oil passage problems.
When problem happens, these two aspects of reason should be taken into
consideration firstly.
Electric control unit stitch drawing includes four parts: vehicle linker, control
unit linker, engine linker and cylinder linker. Mechanic can analyse, find out problem
causes and eliminate problems according to stitch connections combining with
vehicle circuits working theory.

the planet inter-wheels reducer; this is the second stage reduction. The structure of the
mid-rear driving axle is also the central spiral taper gear one stage reduction
combined with columnar planet gear inter-wheel reducer.
In recent years, Hande axles have formed four models of axles; they are
respectively standard, enforced, quenched, and enforcedly quenched. Their load
capacity is mainly 13 ton and 16 ton. Their main characteristics are big capacity, wide
range of ratios, good reduction ability. Their performances are far better than the
similar products in the domestic market. Its range of ratios are from 4.42 to 9.49;
becaue of its inter-wheel reduction system, the size of the central reduction part is
decrease greatly so the vehicles have very good passing capacity; due to its thirty-year
experiences in R&D and manufacturing, advanced international equipment, optimized
master slavery gear design, all imported seal parts, the Hande axles have longer lives
and low maintenance charge. After optimization and strict test the inter-wheel brakes
can guarantee your safety. The brakes have many structures, such as 420*185,
410*220, and so on. And the axles can be installed with ABS devices.
The Steyr front axles are designed and manufactured under the Steyr technology
from Austria. They are fist shape and 工 shape structure. Its capacity is 6.5 ton. Its
installation size is shown as the chart.

1.3 The assembly outline of Steyr front axle
1)steering knuckle main pin of front axle and 工 shape beam of front axle are closely
pressed into assembly. When pressed, the main pin should be vertical to steering knuckle hole of
工 shape beam. The steering knuckle pin 29 is supported by the upper lining 21 and lower lining
24. The clearance between the lining and steering knuckle is 0.018-0.059mm.
Page 73
SHACMAN
3) The upper lining of steering knuckle is installed on the bracket of braking air
chamber to facilitate assembling and disassembling the steering knuckle, but this can
add more requirements to assemble bracket and steering knuckle. The bracket is
closely connected to the steering knuckle through four double-head bolt and
positioning pin. the Tiansan 1262 screw thread fixing glue should be laid on the
surface of the bolts. The nuts are self lock nuts. These nuts should be screwed down
on across and their torque of screwing down are from 170 N.m to 200 N.m.
Page 74
SHACMAN
4) Assembling the supporting pin of brake shoes: install the transverse steering
track rod on the steering knuckle and put the hexagonal notch nut onto it, and then test
it by the torque spanner to insure its torque is between 290 N.m and 340 N.m, and
then put the open pin on it. Meantime install the steering knuckle arm on the left
steering knuckle. The tightening torque of its self lock nut is between 305 N.m and
335 N.m.
5) Assembling the braking camshaft: when installing this part you should
differentiate between the left and the right and check the clearance of camshaft and
lining. The technical requirement for this clearance is from 0.16 to 0.26 mm. if it is
not according with the requirement, it should be replaced or used rimer to correct it,
but attentions should be paid to the coaxiality of two linings. Before assembling, put
some lubricant to the inner side of linings of the bracket, and also put the auxiliary
washer and o shape seal on the shaft. After installing the shaft, put the isolation cover
and auxiliary washer on the other side to make the braking camshaft go smoothly.
Page 75
SHACMAN
6) Assembling the braking adjustment arm: install the braking adjustment arm on
the spline of camshaft, install the adjustment washer and flexible ring for shaft, and
then check the clearance of adjustment arm and make sure it is between 0.3mm to
0.7mm. If the clearance is bigger, the thickness of the adjustment washer should be
modified. Please pay attention to the left and right of the braking adjustment are and
installation direction.
7) Assembling brake shoe assembly: put the anti stagnancy lubricants equally on
the supporting pins of brake shoes, and then install the well-assembled brake shoes.
the tightening force of the hexagonal notch nut of position limitation plate is from the
225 N.m to 275 N.m. And then install the pull-off spring. The pull-off spring should
be in the arc trough of pull-off spring pin and the roller should be assembled in right
position.
Page 76
SHACMAN
8) Assembling the wheel border: use the special tool to install the isolation ring
with the o shape seal onto the steering knuckle shaft and it should be in right position.
And then install the bearing 32314 fully with 2# lubricant onto the steering knuckle
shaft; install the well-assembled wheel hub with bearing assembly. Lastly install the
bearing 32310 with 2# lubricant.
9) Assemble the thrust ring gasket, tighten the notch nut with tightening force
350±50 N.m, back the nut by 1/10-1/6 loop, shake the wheel hub to eliminate the
clearance to ensure the pre-tightening force of wheel hub between the 18 and 35 N.m
(the test method is on the chart), make it just opposite the cotter, install the cotter and
lock the nut.
10) Assemble the brake drum and test the clearance between the brake drum and
brake shoe from the observer hole. The clearance should be less than 0.3mm. If the
clearance is bigger, special tools should be used to polish the brake shoe. When
polishing, brake shoes should be opened a little bigger, simulate the braking position
to make sure that the friction disc has a very good contact with the braking drum and
that the clearance between lower shoes and upper shoes should be less than 0.3 mm to
make it has best braking ability.
Page 77
SHACMAN
11) Assembling the transverse steering rod and adjust toe-in: install the
transverse steering rod on the transverse rod arm and fasten it with hexagonal notch
nut, the torque should be between 270 N.m and 300 N.m, make it opposite to the
cotter hole, and then lock the nut. Adjust the adjustment screw thread of the transverse
steering rod to change the value of toe-in to make sure it is between 2mm and 4mm.
after adjustment, lock the clip nut of transverse rod. The tightening force should be
between 70 N.m and 90 N.m.
Page 78
SHACMAN
check for bearing and its lubricant, and then adjust the pre-tightening force of wheel
hub(18-35N.m).
Braking shaking is a more sophisticated matter and thorough check should be
carried out. The first reason is the toe-in value is not according with technical
requirements(2-4mm); the braking drum becomes not round and has a very bad
contact with friction disc when braking, the torque of braking is decreasing; the partial
friction of friction disc can also cause the non synchronization of braking and then
shaking; the wear and tear of lining of main pin, the increasing clearance of steering
knuckle, the loose of ball head of transverse, straight steering rod, the distortion of
wheel hub and wheel rim, the bad installation of front suspension system can also
cause shaking when braking. When the vehicles are in long term heavy load situation
and bad working conditions can cause the change on the inner obliquity, rear obliquity
of the front axle, and consequently cause the shaking and swaying of direction when
braking. So, when eliminating the problem, complete analysis should be carried out.
3) Braking deviation:
There are three factors which cause braking deviation: the first one is that the
clearance between the lower and upper shoes is too big, which makes non
synchronization of torques when braking; the second factor is the out of round of
braking drum and it cause the contact area of friction disc less than 2/3 of its whole
area, and this can also cause the non synchronization of torque when braking; the
manufacturing precision of parts and components can indirect tly influences the
contact area of friction disc and braking drum. So when solving this problem, careful
examination should be carried out, meantime fine turning and polishing should be
carried out on the vehicles.
4) Overheat of braking drum
1) heavy shift
There are two factors for the problem. The first one is the mechanical problems
of steering system of front axle, such as oil lack of main pin of steering system due to
bad maintenance. This can cause dry abrasion between main pin and lining and add
steering turning resistance and cause the oil lack and wear and tear of thrust bearing
of steering knuckle and the bad lubricant of transverse rod. The second reason is the
failure of hydraulic booster steering system.
MAN front axles are the products under the technology of MAN. They are
mainly two models: disc type and drum type. They are international advanced level.
Their main characteristics are high load capacity, high reliability. Their rated load is
7.5 ton, which is biggest load in domestic market. They are suitable for many kinds of
trucks and buses whose capacity is larger than 15 ton. The wheel hub bearing of MAN
front axle is taper roller bearing imported originally. Also the bearings between the
brake camshaft and sub pump bracket shaft, the bearings between the main pins and
steering knuckle shaft are needle roller bearings imported originally, so the turning,
backing, camshaft of MAN front axle can work very smoothly and bear big radial
load and impact load. Imported seals have good airproof ability and a long life. The
brake friction disc is variable section and has a big contact area and this can promote
the barking performance of the whole axle and prolong the usage life of friction disc.
As a result of this, the safety of the vehicle can be greatly improved and the repair and
maintenance work of the drivers can be decreased greatly. It has ABS system and
braking clearance auto adjustment arm and air suspension system. It is mainly used in
big buses, trucks and project vehicles.

shoe and upper shoe should be less than 0.3mm and then install the pin of fork head
and lock it with open pin and install the back spring.
1.3 the common failure of MAN front axle and trouble shooting
1)the overheat of brake drum
MAN front axle uses the clearance auto adjustment arm. The brake clearance is
automatically adjusted by the arm and the clearance keeps a constant range. If the
clearance is too small when starting braking, the radiating of heat produced in the
running will be affected. And then check the return spring to see if it can return
normally; check the air circuit, the airproof performance of brake pneumatic chamber
and its returning; when removing the braking, check if the camshaft can return
smoothly. Furthermore, if both the axle head and wheel hub are overheated, check the
pre-tightening force of the wheel hub bearing and grease and the wear and tear of
bearing.
2) Direction swaying when driving
The direction is swaying and cannot be controlled when the vehicle is running.
Regarding this problem, first check if there are any loose parts of steering system,
check if the steering hydraulic oil pump works normally; check if the hydraulic circuit
leaks. Next step check if the pre-tightening clearance of wheel hub bearing is normal,
check if the toe-in is in normal range, check if the there are any wear and tear of
steering knuckle lining and check if there are any wear and tear, loose of steering
transverse track rod head.
3) Braking deviation
There are many factors that affect the braking deviation when vehicles are
running, such as road conditions, environment change, the failure of braking system,
or the change of vehicles’ geometrical structure. Asphalt road can become very rough
due to sunshine and the pressure of vehicles; cement road is easy to crack and go
down because of long term use; when braking, because the friction forces between the
wheels and ground are different, it is easy to produce lateral force and brake slippage
and deviation. When the vehicles are running on the inclination roads, wet and
slippery roads, sloping roads, or curving roads, the center of gravity of the vehicles
are easy to deviate and then affect the lateral force and the centrifugal force of the
vehicles and last produce braking deviation. Regarding the braking system, because
the clearances of left and right brake shoes are different, it can cause different torque
when starting braking. As the result of this, braking deviation is produced. In another
side, because of the different areas left and right brake shoes contact with brake drum
or different contact friction force produced by oil stain, the vehicles can also produce
different brake torque and therefore cause braking deviation.
4) Braking shaking
The braking shaking of MAN front axles are largely identical but with minor
differences. The out-of-round of brake drum can cause discontinuous frictions
between the friction discs and brake drums; therefore the decreasing of braking torque
is coming out; the increasing clearance of steering knuckles, the wear and tear of
linings, the loose of transverse track rod, abnormal toe-in, vibrating wheel hub, the
error of axiality of brake drums, geometrical angle changes caused by the impact of
Page 88
SHACMAN
front axle produced by heavy load on bad road conditions, all these can affect the
braking performance, and make the front axle shaking. So the factors affecting the
braking shake are much more than that cause braking deviation and direction swaying,
so careful and comprehensive considerations should be carried out when checking.
5) Braking failure
Braking failure can create longer braking distance and cause unsafe factors. It is
caused by the following reasons: the first one is the contact area between the brake
shoes and brake drums less than 70%. When braking, it cannot supply enough braking
torque. To solve this problem, polish the brake shoe assembly. The better one is to
increase its axiality positioning by the wheel hub bearing; the second reason for
braking failure is the system failure. Braking air pressure and other hardware should
be checked ( like whether clearance auto adjustment arm is slippery).
1.4 illustrations of assembling and disassembling tools for wheel hub of MAN front axle
To assemble or disassemble the wheel hub of MAN front axle is more difficult
than Steyr front axle. To guarantee other parts to be in good condition when doing
maintenance, to lower the maintenance cost and labor intension, our company has
developed one kind of assembling and disassembling tool for wheel hub. The
following is the demonstration of its usage.
When assembling and disassembling: first remove the braking dram, use tool 2
and put it on the hexagon, and then use handle bar 7 to remove the nut of wheel hub.
Page 89
SHACMAN
Remove the nut from the quadrangular rod head, using tool 1, tool 5, tool 6, and
tool 7. Screw the thread of tools with the thread of wheel hub nut, use the tool 5
against the steering knuckle, and then rotate the tool 5. The wheel hub can be
removed by this method.
Use tool 4 to lock the inner ring of the inner bearing, fasten the clasp on the tool
4, use tool 5 and 7. Rotate the tool 4 and remove the inner bearing.
When assembling:
Put the inner bearing of wheel hub and wheel hub assembly on the steering
knuckle, screw the thread of tool 3 on the thread of steering knuckle.
Page 90
SHACMAN
Tighten tool 1 inside the thread of wheel hub cap, use tool 5 and 6 to tighten 7
inside the thread of nut 6, tighten the bolt of the thread bar 5 inside the thread hole of
small end of tool 3. Attention: tighten all thread more laps to make sure that all
threads of tools and parts should not be damaged.
Fix the tool 5, use tool 7 to rotate the tool 1, install the wheel hub and bearing
assembly in right position. Fasten the nut of axle head, after adjusting the
pre-tightened force of wheel hub and bear lock the hexagonal bolt.

They are mainly used in the fields of military force, petroleum, projects, road
transportation, forestry and field working departments. They are mainly used in the
dump trucks, tractor trucks, off-road trucks and project trucks, in which the payload
are over 20 tons. The ABS system, braking clearance auto adjustment arm, central
inflation and deflation system and air suspension system can be optional according to
the requirements of end users.
1.the structure and parameters of Steyr mid-rear driving axles
Page 93
SHACMAN
Page 94
SHACMAN
Page 95
SHACMAN
2. The structure and operation principles of STR middle driving axles
As shown in the chart 3-2, middle driving axle is composed of central one stage
reducer plus planet gear inter-wheel reducer. The ratio of the inter-wheel reducer is
3.478. Combined with central master and slavery taper reducer with different gears
they can form main ratios for option. The most used ratios in the domestic market are
4.8, 5.73 and 6.72. Its structure is complicated. As shown in the chart, the power is
transferred to flange assembly 3 from transmission shaft, make reducer rotate through
spline shaft of inter-wheel 166 reducer. The planet gears of 十 shape shaft inside the
reducer gets into mesh with two half shafts and then rotate. The gear 13 of rear shaft moves the
hollow shaft 25 through spline and hollow shaft have a linkage with mastery column gear 26
through spline. The power is transferred to mastery taper gear through slavery gear, and then to
main differential by the rotation of mastery and slavery taper gears. The rotation of planet gear and
half shaft gear inside the main differential transfer the power to left and right half shafts and rotate
the inter-wheel reducer to move the vehicle.
Inter-wheel differential is used to automatically adjust speeds of left and right
wheels when the vehicle is turning. The inter-axles differential is used to
automatically adjust the speeds of middle axle and rear axle when the vehicle is
running on the rugged roads. When vehicles are running on the rugged roads, they
need the different moment speeds of middle axle and rear axle to adapt the need the
road surface requires from the wheels. If the connection between the middle axle and
rear axle is rigid, any moment the rotation speeds of middle axle and rear axle are
absolutely the same. This can consume the power as well as wear the tires. Sometime
it can damage the parts. The inter-axle differential can automatically adjust the
rotation speeds of middle and rear axles to satisfy the needs of roads.
When vehicles are trapped in the muddy roads, the inter-axle differential should
be engaged. When the switch of inter-axle differential is pressed down, the
electromagnetic valve will be opened and then the compressed air enters into the
working cylinder of inter-axle differential lock and pushes the piston rod. The folk 22
of differential lock will insert the pin 18 of differential lock into the pin hole of front
half shaft gear 15 to make the housing of differential lock the half shaft gear. The
differential has no function of differential any more. The transfixion shaft 28 and
hollow shaft have a complete rigid connection between them. The middle and rear
axle, the left and right shafts have also complete rigid connection to enforce the
vehicle to get out the rugged road. After this please remove the inter-wheel and
inter-axle differential locks in time to recover its normal functions. Otherwise, that
will cause the wear or damage to the parts.
3.the main points of assembling and maintenance for the main parts of
middle axles
1) The assembling of inter-wheels and inter-axles differentials: clean the half housing of
differentials and then put the washer of half shaft gears inside the half housing. Put some lubricant
oil and put the half shaft gear inside. Put combination of the 十 shape shaft, planet gears and
washer inside the half housing. Put some lubricant oil on the rotation parts of 十 shape shaft and
planet gears and check its rotation situation. Turn the 十 shape shaft a few rounds and engage it
naturally with half shaft gears. If shaken, the planet gears should have clearance and the clearance
Page 96
SHACMAN
should be even. Put another half housing with half shaft gears and washers with this one according
to the machining marker and then tighten 8 bolts on it with the torque of 210 n.m.
Measuring the gear side clearance of half shaft gears and planet gears: use dial
indicator to test on the small end of half shaft gears with clearance required by
technical 0.25-0.45mm. If not in this range, the thickness of half shaft gear washer
should be adjusted. Turn the differential assembly 180 degrees, install the bolts with
hands onto the assembly and spin 3 circles. Afterwards, tighten all 16 bolts. The
tightening force should be around 325±25Nm. At last, press the inner ring of one
column taper roller bearing of differential into the space between the two half housing
shafts.

SHACMAN
4) turn the main reducer 180 degree. The pre-tightening force of bearing of
differential of main reducer should be adjusted well. And then put some screw
adhesive into screw hole and tighten the stud; clean the connection surface and put the
Letai sealant on it. After that install the cross axle box, spring washer and nuts. The
nuts should be tightened according to opposite line and the torque should be 120 N.m.
Adjusting the gear clearance of active and passive tapered gears and gears’
engagement situation: adjust the nuts of both sides (the screw-in depth should be the
same, otherwise it will affect the pre-tightening force of differential) and change the
position of passive gears. The gear clearance should be between the 0.20 and 0.40 mm.
put the Hongdan powder evenly on the three adjacent gears of the passive gears, and
then rotate the passive gears to check its engagement situation.
Page 100
SHACMAN
Rotate the passive gear and measure it on three points and make sure that its
gears clearance should be less than 0.15mm. The gears’ clearance and engagement
situation will affect directly the life of gears and its noises during running. So in
routine maintenance it must be adjusted very well. Big gears’ clearance will increase
the noise and some time causes the gear-collision troubles. Attention: after assembling
and maintenance, the cover of bearing should be tightened with the torque of 210 N.m,
meantime lock the lock plate to prevent nuts from getting out of it.
Assemble the fixed engagement cover, locking washer, circle nuts respectively

bearing 322222 to 70 degree to 80 degree and assemble it. Attention: the surface of
separating ring must be smooth and have no knock trace; its inner ring must match the
outer ring of bearing of wheel hub assembly.
Page 105
SHACMAN
Install the wheel hub assembly with tire bolts, wheel hub oil seal and the outer
ring of bearing onto the axle head. Attention: distinguish the spinning directions of
left and right( oil seal is with oil-return line, which can solve the oil leakage problem).
For one-edge oil seal facing with oil-return line, its spinning direction is right;
conversely, the direction is left. When assembling oil seal, clean the inner hole of
wheel hub oil seal, smear some sealant, put the oil seal straight and press it inside.
The one-edge oil seal should be pressed first and then the double-edge oil seal. Press
the tire bolts inside diagonally and put the head cut aligning with stop cut side of
wheel hub.
Two outer rings of bearing should match the inner ring of bearing the bearing
bracket and bearing installed. Get the bearing bracket installed with the inner ring of
shaft 30222, align the spline of axle head and press into right position.
Page 106
SHACMAN
Install respectively the anti-thrust washer, lock slip and circle nut of axle head.
When tightening, use the copper stick to shake the bearing bracket and wheel hub,
eliminate the bearing clearance and fasten the nuts of axle head with torque of
350-400Nm. Requirements: the thickness of adjustment washer inside the nuts of axle
head should not be more than 3.5mm;the tightening force should be guaranteed and
the washer should be pressed closely.
The locking part for the new type axle head is the anti-loosing double-nut
structure. As shown in the right chart, there are two nuts, one thin, and one thick.
Thick one is inside and its chamfer is outward. After reaching its tightening torque,
back one sixth lap. And then adjust the pre-tightening force, after reaching
requirement; assemble lock slip and thin nut with its chamfer inward. After tightening,
press the lock slip and lock bolt down the slot of two nuts.
The adjustment of the pre-tightening force of wheel hub bearing: after fastening
the axle head nuts, turn the wheel hub a feel round, eliminate the clearance, use spring
balance to hitch the tire bolts and pull in direction of wheel hub tangent, and make a
record when wheel hub rotating. The requirement is 70 to 90Nm. If the digit is not in
this range, it should be adjusted again( old model can be adjusted by increasing or
decreasing the thickness of the washer; new model can be adjusted by increasing or
decreasing the forward or backward of the nuts; shake the wheel hub; after
eliminating the clearance, its pre-tightening force should be measured again). After
adjusting, the lock slip and lock bolts should be put inside the slot of axle head nuts.
Assembling planet hub reducer assembly: clean the hub reducer housing, press
planet wheel shaft and rolling ball inside, assemble the planet wheel washer and
column rolling needle bearing onto the planet wheel shaft, install the planet gears,
assemble another planet wheel washer, align the planet wheel bracket with original
machining position and install it in right position. Use the bolts with screw adhesive
to tighten the planet wheel bracket with required torque of 220Nm and check the
rotating of planet gears to make sure it is very smoothly rotating.
Page 107
SHACMAN
Install inner gear ring, and put the flexible ring inside the groove. Install the left
and right half shaft (attention: when installing double spline shafts, actions should be
gentle and prevent sliding engagement cover from changing or dropping) in right
positions, smear some lubricant oil on the groove of seal ring of wheel hub assembly,
install the o-ring inside the groove, align the hub reducer with holes and install it in
right position. Install sun gear washer and sun gear and put the axle flexible ring
inside the groove. Align the brake drum with hole, install it in right position, fasten
the flat head screw. Turn the brake drum and check if there are any interventions with
brake hoof and other parts. Clean the head and cover of hub retarder, smear some
sealant on the connection part of the cover, spread some screw adhesive on bolts and
install it on the hub planet reducer assembly.
The assembling points of Steyr rear driving axle are similar to the middle driving
axle, so we here only discuss the differences.
Page 108
SHACMAN
As shown in the chart 3-4, the transmission shaft transfer the power to flange
assembly 1 and driving the axle drive bevel pinion 5. After passing axle driven bevel
pinion 20, the power goes into differentials. The differential is composed of cross
shaft 19, four planet gears 18, two half axle gears 17 and 23, and differential half
boxes 15 and 21. The connecting bolts connect two half housings 15 and 21, so when
the differential is rotating, the cross shaft is rotating and the planet gears are rotating.
Meanwhile, the left and right half shafts 17 and 23 are driven to rotate and transfer the
power with the same torque to left and right wheels. When vehicle is turning, the
inner wheel should run fewer circles than the outer wheel. Due to the balance relation
of torque, planet gears not only revolve but also rotate around the cross shaft, so the
two half shaft gears have different speeds. The circles the inner wheel run less than
the outer wheel is the same as the circles the outer wheel run more than the inner
wheel. So this can achieve the different speeds to guarantee the smooth turning of the
vehicle. Inside the differential, the rear part of planet gears is installed with ball
washer to increase the life of mechanical parts and decreasing the noise. The
adjustment washer 16 and 22 are installed to lower part of half shaft gears to adjust
the engagement clearance of half shaft gears and planet gears. Axle drive bevel pinion
5 is stalled inside the bearing seat 4 and supported by taper rolling bearing 3 and 6.
Adjustment washer 29 is used to adjust the pre-tightening force of bearing.
From the chart we can see that compared with middle axle the main reducer of
rear axle has no one pair of column driven gears. Its structure is relatively simple. It
achieves different ratios by the gears numbers of taper gears. Different gears numbers
Page 109
SHACMAN
can make different ratios. When changing ratios for rear axles, we should replace
taper gear as well as the axle drive bevel pinion’s bearing seat, differential housing
and differential bearing.
The following is the table for the gear numbers of gear when having different
ratios:
1) The assembling of main reducer bearing seat of rear axle: clean the bearing
seat, use press machine to install the bearing into the bearing hole of bearing seat, turn
the bearing seat and install another bearing, heat the inner of bearing by 80 Degree
and press it into the shaft of active tapered gear, and then put the active tapered gear
into the bearing seat, install the adjustment washer and adjust the pre-tight force of
bearing.
Measure the rotating torque of bearing seat by its tangent direction and make
sure the torque range is between the 8 to 16 Nm. if not in this range, adjust the
thickness of adjustment washer.
Page 110
SHACMAN
install the oil ring assembly installed with differential oil seal into the bearing
seat. Attention: smear sealant inside the hole of bearing seat and protect the blade of
oil seal and install it.
press the input flange assembly into right position, fasten the nuts of flange and
make sure the tightening force is in range of 750 to 800NM, put it right against the
hole of open pin, put the open pin and lock the second rotating flange and check the
pre-tightening force of bearing again.
Fix the adjustment washer of reducer onto the bearing seat, assemble the o-ring
and smear the sealant at the end of it, and then put it into the housing of main reducer.
Drop some screw thread adhesive into the screw thread hole of main reducer and
Page 111
SHACMAN
fasten the bolt with the force of 120Nm.
Turn the main reducer; adjust the engagement of its gears. The adjusting method
is the same as the main reducer of mid axle. After achieving requirements, lock the
lock washer, install the fixing engagement sleeve and lock it with locking washer.
The assembling of wheel border and axle housing is the same as the driving mid
axle.
Page 112
SHACMAN
If the oil seal is aging or wearing and check if the surface of isolation ring is
smooth and wearing. If the oil seal is nice and there is still a heavy oil leakage, the air
circulation device of axle housing should be checked. If the inlet of axle air is blocked
by oil smear, when running the heat produced by axle housing increase the air
pressure and force the oil to go out from the oil seal.
Oil leakage from the differential oil seal: there are three kinds of differential oil
seal, one is from middle axle input, one is from middle axle output and the last one is
from the input of rear axle. If there is a oil leakage from the input shaft, the is
commonly caused by the damage or wearing of oil seal of input axle shaft or caused
by spring loose of oil seal. When repairing, if the oil leakage is from the outer ring of
oil seal, this is maybe caused by the loose between the oil seal outer ring and outside
housing.
When re-installing, please clean the oil seal outer ring and oil seal seat hole and
smear Letai 603 adhesive on the outer ring of oil seal and then put the oil seal into the
oil seal seat hole. If the oil seal is completely good and there is still a oil leakage,
check if the air circulation device of axle is blocked; secondly check if the flange nut
is loose or the surface of flange is smooth or not. If they don’t meet the needs, please
replace them with the new one. Check if there is any wearing and loose of bearing and
the partial wearing of oil seal caused by imbalance of driving shaft. The oil seal of
half shaft is damaged and leak oil, which can make oil get into the main reducer from
the wheel reducer. And this can cause too much oil in the main reducer and increase
its pressure and consequently cause oil leakage; and overheating of axle and wheel
can be accompanied. If oil leakage is from output shaft, the check contents are the
same as the one from input shaft.
Oil leakage from combination surface or welding line of axle housing: if the oil
leakage is from the top cover of axle head, this is maybe caused by unclose contact
between the planet wheel bracket and top cover. The connection between the top
cover and top surface of shaft head is the connection without washer. After
disassembling them, clean the top cover and planet bracket and then smear Letai 587
adhesive on them and then re-assemble them. The continuous adhesive belt should be
used. Regarding the middle axle, the combination surface of cross axle box is more
and there is a big possibility of oil leakage. when disassemble them and repair, the
combination surface should be well protected and wild disassembling is refused.
Page 113
SHACMAN
Where there is some knock or damages, they should be recovered and sealant should
be used. The combination surface of axle housing and main reducer is easy to have a
oil leakage, the reason are many. The distortion of parts, the loose of bolt can cause
combination surface oil leakage. When repairing, the combination surface should be
recovered first and smear Letai 587 sealant. The oil leakage from the welding line of
axle housing is mostly caused by too much pressure on the axle housing and make too
much stress on the welding line, which can cause cracks and oil leakage. so, overload
is refused.
Oil leakage from the sand hole and loose of casting parts. some oil leakages
happen on the non-combination surface and we should make a clear judgment. The
sand hole and cast defects can be solved by re-welding or replacement.
2) Burn damage of wheel differential: the lubrication on the main reducer of
middle axle and transiting wheel box is splash lubrication; but the position of wheel
differential is highest, so the lubrication condition of wheel differential is worse. Any
oil shortage can cause threats to wheel differential. When filling oil for new vehicles
or changing gear oil, new oil must be filled from the oil filling mouth of wheel
differential housing and should be added continuously before they reach the check
point of transiting box of middle axle.
After some failures, after changing new differentials, the burn damages are
continuing, even burning the planet gears and cross shaft together. There are two main
reasons which cause the differential burn damages: one is shortage of oil, another is
the wrong ratio of middle axle and rear axle. Here the gear numbers of taper and
column driving and driven gears should be checked. Some users change the driving
and driven tapered gears of middle or rear axle and ignore the ratio of the vehicle,
which makes the different ratio after replacement. This can cause differences between
the middle axle and rear axle and then cause the high speed rotating of wheel
differential when running, which can soon cause burn damages to differential together
with worse lubrication condition.
3) Abnormal sound of axle drive: if there are some abnormal sounds from axle
housing, please stop the vehicle and check immediately. Abnormal sounds are mostly
from the damaged parts.
the falling apart of differential support bearing, heavy rust or wearing on bearing,
the loose or falling off of the bolt of driven gears, the loose of differential lock
engagement and the collision of drive gears or differential gears can cause heavy
abnormal sound.
If there is a continuous sound of gear wearing, and it becomes bigger and bigger
with the accelerating of vehicle speed, this is mostly caused by spot erosion of
bearing, wear of drive gears or damages and spot erosion of gear surface. If there is no
obvious sound in normal driving and there is obvious sound when decelerating, this is
mostly caused by pull of drive gears, spot erosion. There are 7 bearings in middle axle,
the falling apart of bearings can cause obvious sound. The part of abnormal sound
should be checked and then disassembled and checked. If there are no abnormal
sounds when vehicles running in beeline, but if there are some abnormal sounds when
turning, this is caused by damages or burn damages of differential gears. the loose of
Page 114
SHACMAN
the engagement sleeves of wheel differential lock can cause the sound from the
collision of two sleeves. The abnormal movement of wheel differential lock pin can
also cause the knocking sound. This kind of abnormal sound is from the irregular
mechanical beating.
If there is a continuous sound after changing with new driving and driven gears
and it becomes bigger and bigger with the acceleration of vehicles, the engagement
clearance of driving and driven gears should be checked. Because the driving and
driven gears are matched pairs, so if changed with a pair of gears which are not
matched, it can cause the abnormal sound and this sound cannot be removed. Please
make sure that the driving and driven gears are matched pairs.
When disassembling the driving and driven tapered gears, protect the installing
clearance adjustment washer. When re-assembling, recover the washer. Otherwise due
to the warp of adjustment washer, there is a possibility to cause the noise of
engagement of driving and driven gears. When replacing the driven tapered gears,
Taile 262 adhesive must be smeared on the connection thread of bolt and fasten them
according to regulated torque.
If there is no abnormal sound during normal driving and there is abnormal sound
during deceleration, this is mostly caused by pull of gear back or spot erosion. If the
sound is tiny, it is normal. But if it is big, it must be checked. Too much gear
clearance can cause abnormal sound during quick start or acceleration.
Distortion of axle housing can also cause abnormal sound of rear axle. when
checking, please pay attention to this point.
If abnormal sound appears, please stop and check. Because falling apart of
bearings, loose of fixing bolts, the damages to gears can cause serious consequence if
they cannot be fixed.
4) Overheat of axle. There are three reasons for axle overheat: too much
lubricant oil, less lubricant oil, too much pre-tightening force for bearings. If the
lubricant oil is too little, the mechanical parts cannot be lubricated and the parts will
be heating. Sometime it can cause burn damage to parts. if there is too much lubricant
oil, it can also cause overheat of axles. For differential support bearing, driving gears
support bearing, if the pre-tightening force is too much, they will produce too much
heat. This can be solved by adjusting the thickness of washers.
5) Failure of differential lock: when switching on the switch of differential lock,
the indicator light is not on. First check when pressing down the button if the piston
handspike of differential working cylinder works well or not. If the handspike cannot
reach its normal position, this means that the gears don’t engage well. Moving the
vehicle forward and backward can solve this problem. If the working cylinder doesn’t
work completely, there should be some problems with the electronic and pneumatic
control system of magnetic valve. Loosen the output connector of magnetic valve and
observe if there is some air coming out. If no, the problems should be with the
electronic control of magnetic valve or the magnetic valve itself. If there is some air
coming out, the problems are with the working cylinder.
After pressing down the switch of differential lock, if the handspike of working
cylinder makes the differential lock in right position but the indicator light is still not
Page 115
SHACMAN
on, the problem should be with the switch of indicator or the bulb. This can be
distinguished by testing lights.
6) overheat of hub. This kind of overheat is caused by too much pre-tightening
force for hub bearings and mainly after maintenance. In maintenance tightening the
nuts not according with regulation, too much tightening force can cause too much
pre-tightening force. The hub should be re-assembled according with the regulations.
of course, damaged bearings of hub can also cause overheat of hub.
7) Overheat of brake drum. There are many reasons for overheat of brake drums.
Some are from mechanical parts. some are from brake control pneumatic system.
First check if brake chamber can quickly return back after check. If not or slowly
back, remove the chamber handspike from the brake adjustment arm and then check if
the brake chamber can return quickly. If slowly back again, the problem is obviously
with the brake chamber and brake control pneumatic circuit. After adjustment arm
away from the chamber, if return is smooth, check if the brake camshaft is flexible.
Distortion of brake camshaft, heavy lack of oil for shaft sleeve or wrong position of
the bracket of brake camshaft can result in abnormal return and then overheat of brake
drum. The broken or loose return spring of brake shoe can cause not only overheat of
brake drum but also friction noise.
In normal driving, the brake friction disc and brake drum should have a certain
clearance. Too big clearance can cause brake effects; small clearance can cause
overheat.
So the radiating conditions of brake drum is bad and frequent brake can soon
make overheat on brake drum, even burn air inlet of tires and cause leakage of tires.
So if the vehicles work normally in the mountain areas, when they are driven down
long distance slopes, the engine exhaust brake are suggested to reduce the speed and
service brake should be avoided to prevent the overheat of brake drum.
8) ABS trouble. The failure of ABS is mainly from the following reasons: the
increasing clearance of hub bearings makes the clearance between the ABS probe and
gear rim bigger than regulated value, the normal value within 0.7 mm; there is some
filth on the probe and this can make the decreasing sensitivity; the wiring of ABS are
damaged when their position are changed during driving and short circuit occurs; the
failure of ABS sensor can also cause this problem.
6. The usage and maintenance of Steyr driving mid-rear axle
1) If the vehicles are driven around 2000-3000 km, the compulsory maintenance
must be carried out. During the maintenance, the gear lubricant oil for central drive
and wheel reducer should be changed. After this maintenance, for every 20000km, the
oil must be changed. When filling oil for middle part of middle axle, the oil should be
filled from the filler neck on the differential housing of wheel. The oil for central
drive and wheel reducer of middle-rear axle should be in APIGL-4 grade, in
SAE85W/90 viscosity. keep the oil in some level and check the oil level of wheel
reducer and axle main reducer frequently during usage.
There are two oil necks on the wheel reducer. Oil drain neck is set up at the end
of shaft head; oil inlet neck is located in the central part of top cover. The normal oil
position of wheel reducer should be the horizontal position of oil inlet neck when the
Page 116
SHACMAN
oil drain neck is in the highest position. Here open the oil inlet neck and put the
fingers into the hole of nut. If the fingers can touch the oil, the position is ok.
Generally speaking, the oil for rear axle housing should be 6 liters; the oil for middle
axle housing should be 10 litters; the oil for each wheel reducer should be 2 liters.
2) The operation of differential lock. If installed with wheel differential lock
and axle differential lock on middle-rear axle, the vehicles can smoothly get out the
troubled road. The purpose of differential lock is to help the vehicles out of the
troubled roads when the vehicles are in the muddy or smooth roads. There are two
switches for differential locks on the panel board, one is wheel differential lock switch,
and another is axle differential lock switch. When the vehicles are driven into muddy
road, if one wheel slides, please press down the clutch and wheel differential lock
switch. When the indicator for wheel differential lock is on, the differential locks for
middle and rear axle are effected at the same time. But if the clutch pedal is up, the
wheels on one wheel slide at the same time, but the other wheel stays still. So the
vehicles cannot get out. Press down the clutch pedal and axle differential lock switch.
The indicator light should be on. Then put into gear, move foot from clutch and the
vehicles can get out of troubled road. After getting out the troubled road, the
differential locks should be immediately closed.
When the vehicles are turning, the wheel differential lock of driving rear axles
can automatically make different speeds for left and right wheels to protect the tires
and vehicle parts. When one wheel of vehicles runs into a muddy or smooth road,
engage the differential lock. After this, left and right half shafts become one
connection shaft and the vehicles can get out the troubled road. After getting out
troubled road, the differential lock should be closed. Otherwise it can cause great
damage to tires and differential.
3) In maintenance, when the half shafts needs to be removed, something should
be paid attention to. If the half shafts are located in the side without differential lock,
they can be disassembled at random; If the half shafts are located in the vehicle side
with differential lock, before removing them, the differential lock should be engaged.
To prevent differential lock engagement sleeve from dropping, iron wire should be
used to fix the handspike of working cylinder of differential lock to seal the working
cylinder.
4) Avoiding heavy overload: The designed load of Steyr rear axle is 13 ton. The
thickness of housing for axles made in China is 16mm. Heavy overload and focused
load can cause distortion and crack of axle housing. To prevent this serious
consequence, load must be regulated by the driving conditions.
5) the adjustment of brake clearance adjustment arm. Before adjusting the hand
clearance adjustment arm, all brakes should be loosened. Turn the hexagon bolt
clockwise until there is no clearance. And then turn it anti-clockwise until three
sounds are heard. And then run the vehicles and check the brake.
Before adjusting the Clearance auto adjustment arm, all brakes should be also
loosened. In the adjustment arm the arrow direction should be the same as the brake
direction. Turn the hexagon bolt clockwise to make the brake arm be into the U fork
of brake chamber handspike. Right against the hole position, use flat-head pin, washer
Page 117
SHACMAN
and open pin to connection. Push the adjustment arm to its end, fasten the positioning
bracket, and then use the bolts and nuts to fix the bracket and adjustment arm. Turn
the hex bolts on the arm clockwise to make zero clearance between the brake shoe
and brake drum and then turn anti-clockwise the nuts by 3/4 loop. Finally try the
brake a few times.
6) In repairing if re-assembling the differential and driven gear is needed, Letai
262 screw adhesive should be smeared on the connection screws with regulated
torque to make sure the connection bolts are fixed.
7. Axle No.
The nameplate for Hande Axle
Axle No. This is the model of axle, which can indicate the specifications of
axle. To make convenience to sales and services, the Assy No. of axles should be
clearly regulated. The colors of nameplates may have some differences according to
different models and ratios, but there formats are the same.
Manufacture No. Manufacture No. can indicate the production date and
assembling No. This no can be used to find the production and supplying unit of axle
parts, which can be used to supply proofs for guarantee claim and troubled parts

Section 2 valves
function: controlling the braking power which from the double loop line ,if one
side is not available, other side should work as usual.
Theory:
Page 121
SHACMAN
When mandril “a” bearing force, piston“c ” was below down ,then exhaust valve
closed and input valve open .The pressed air is from No.11 port , passed chamber “A”,
after that , arrived pipe “I”. Meanwhile , airflow get to chamber B through port“D”,it
forced piston“f” moving down ,then exhausting valve closed , and input valve opened
again, the pressed air from port“12” get to pipe“Ⅱ”through port“22”.
When braking released ,the pressed air discharge from port 21,22.
When the first loop line action halt, valve“e” force piston“f” moving down,
caused the exhausting valve closed and input valve opened ,then 2rd loop line be
starting ,at same time ,1st loop line can working as well .

1.Spring type compound power-storing brake chamber
(1) function: supply power to the wheel, the cavity of chamber use for normal
braking , the spring cavity use for emergent & parking braking , these two cavity is
separate .
Theory :
When moving braking ,the pressed air which controlled by foot brake valve enter
“A” chamber via port 11, meanwhile, spring c be pressed by disc a ,then lever b be
pushed out ,by this ,the braking torque come out.
When the truck is on emergent & parking braking , operate the hand brake valve,
by that , pressed air release out from chamber B via port12 , the spring f also put out
the power , bring the braking torque by piston e , disc d , plate a and lever b .
You can also free the parking brake by loosening the bolt g , when there are no
pressed air on chamber.

Pressed air get to chamber A&D,C&D from port 1, when the pressure achieve a
certain level ,the valve be open . then pressed air get to storing canister via port
21,22,23,24 . when one loop is not available ,the pressed air in other loops not leaking
because the valve is single-way type. Meanwhile,the air pressure in these loops acted
on the plate , charging the normal loops from port 1 .the pressed air will leak only
even as the pressure is equal or more than the unavailable loop ,even this , the
pressure is also keeping enough.

4.Trailer breaking valve
1) Action : this valve fixed on tractor truck chassis which in double pipe breaking
system , use for breaking the air-cut type or emergent breaking type trailer . when pipe
ruptured or air leaks , the truck will brake automatically if it fixed a throttle .
2) Theory
3522CF1 series
In normally working , the pressed air entered from port 43, input valve“h” be
closed and exhausted valve “c” opened , no pressure output from port 2 . when
parking break, the pressed air from 1st loop enter chamber “A” via port 41,pushing
piston “a”, making exhaust valve ”c” closed and input valve ”h” open , the air output
from port 2, the pressure between this and port 41 is a direct ratio .
If loop 1 is not available, there are no pressure coming from port 41, the pressed
air from 2nd chamber enter chamber ”E” via port 42 , pushed plate “e” , then
exhausting valve ”C” closed and input valve “h” open, the pressed air go out from
port 2. When braking release, the pressure on port 41,42 be lower but 43 be
higher ,then input valve “h” closed ,exhausting valve ”C” open, air go out from
port ”2” .
Adjust the bolt ”j” to alter the extend arrange .
Page 125
SHACMAN
3522CF2 series
In normally working , the pressed air entered from port 11 , make plug “i”
moving up , all the paths of throttle be open , pressure via port 21 be outputted to
trailer charging port , charge to trailer , and go to chamber “c” via port “c”.
When braking pipe of trailer loosening or breaking, there are no pressure setup ,
the pressed air enter chamber “G” via port 41, then plug ”i” move down , throttle
aperture be plug up , lead the air flow which passing port 11,21 be weaker ,
meanwhile, input valve “C” be open , then the pressure go out via port12 ,22 .
working theory of other parts are same with normal trailer breaking valve.

5.Relay valve
l )Function : make the braking and releasing time shorter . normally fixed on rear
axle.
2) Theory :
When the truck works normally, pressed air comes from the canister via port1 ,
then input valve “d” closed because air pressing and spring returning ,there are no
pressure in chamber ”C” .
When brakes , the pressed air from braking valve enter chamber B via 4 , drive
the big piston moving down , that making valve “e” closed , and pushing valve
base ”c” , then input valve “d” open , the air pressure get balance between chamber
“A” and “C” , so exhausting and input valve both closed .
There are no pressure in chamber ”B” when braking release , the pressure make
piston 7 moving up , then exhausting valve “e” open , but input valve “d” closed , the
pressed air release quickly via exhausting valve “e”. this function is emergent
releasing .

valve lever be pushed down , then input valve “d” opened , the pressed air output to
rear chamber of spring brake chamber , so that , braking released , truck works
normally .
If operate the main braking during truck working , the pressed air enter chamber
B via port 41, it pressed piston ”b” down , for the reaction of chamber “A”&”C” , the
pressure in chamber “B” can not influence differential-relay working . pressed air
flow to rear chamber of spring braking chamber , keep park braking releasing ,
If operate the hand braking during truck working , air in chamber “A” will
exhaust partly or completely. Then no pressure on piston “a” , but pressure in chamber
“C” push piston “b” up , lead exhaust valve “e” open , meanwhile lever “c” moving
up, input valve closed .By this ,spring braking cylinder can brake in different force
range by adjusting the position of ever.
If braking by hand brake , exhausting valve be closed after air exhaust , then air
pressure in chamber “A” and ”C” be higher , differential relay valve is in balance
position at this time .
Page 129
SHACMAN
then go out from port21. Because chamber “A” is connected with chamber “E”, so air
enter chamber ”C” through extra valve “m” , out from port 22 , then whole truck is in
complete releasing situation.
When handle “a” on the range of 10°~55° , cam assy ”b” move up , by the
action of piston spring 1 , piston ”e” be up, exhausting valve open, same time, by the
action of valve spring “g”, valve assy ”h” move up , so input valve closed, the air
enter chamber “A” from port “21” , go out from port 3 via Valve assy “h”. Because
chamber “A” is connected with “E”, also air come from port 22 but out from port3 .
By the pressure on port21 be lower , then keep balance by spring “d” , and output
pressure P21 , P22 be lower in 0 , because of handle moving .when the handle get to
the reining point, the tractor truck is in completely braking .
When the handle get to the locking position (73°) , handle be lockup , then whole
truck is in completely braking , also input valve closed and exhausting valve open.
When the handle get to the checking position (85°) , cam “b” push the pipe
assy ”i” ,make the valve assy moving down , on extra valve , the exhausting valve
closed but input one open, air pressure come from port11,via chamber ”B” , channel
“D”, chamber ”C” then out from port22,trailer braking released . this way for
checking grade ability braking when in parking brake . when loosening the handle , it
return to parking brake lock point.

Section 3 air pipeline theory
Part of air source analyse : air enter pressing equipment via filter. When air
pressed yet, be sent to the drier, after that , dry air be sent to 4-loopline valve.
Braking loop line of Front axle : pressure adjusting valve in drier adjust the
normal pressure as 7.5~8.0bar, the pressed air be output to 4-loopline valve , then
come to air canister “1” via port21 , then got to port12 of main pump . pressure value
of canister1 showed on the meter who link with a sensor set at port 12 . when braking
pedal be stepped on, air from port 22 pressed the plate of 2 separate chamber , then
caused braking.
Braking loop line of rear axle : pressed air be output from 4-loopline valve via
port 22 , enter canister “2” , then go to port 11 , there is a tee joint which join with a
pressure sensor , the pressure value showed on a meter . when braking pedal be
stepped on , air from port 21 go to the front chamber and supply service braking . the
same pressed air also effected on port41 of Differential Relay valve. If not draw up
the hand brake , this pressure not act on Differential Relay valve but air from port 2
keep the Rear Chamber Spring pressed .
Page 131
SHACMAN
Parking and emergent braking loop : air from port 24 of 4-loopline be separated
as two line , one get to canister3 , other one go to port 1 of hand brake valve . First
line go to port 11 of trailer brake valve from canister 3, second one became 2 parts
after through a union tee: one go to hand brake valve , other one get to port 1 of
Differential Relay valve . so when put down the hand brake lever and works normally ,
air go from port 21 to 42 , open the Differential Relay valve , release the parking
brake by pressing the rear chamber spring. When draw up the hand brake valve , air in
the loopline releasing completely from port 3 , and air in spring chamber also release
out from port3 , force the spring lever achieving parking brake .
If do parking brake and hand brake at same time , that will hurt the transfer parts
because of overload , the Differential Relay valve will avoid that , the function is
ensuring supplying air to rear chamber although parking brake going with hand brake
at same time. Likewise , if stepping pedal and drawing up the hand brake
simultaneity , only main brake available , but hand brake not .
Double pipe trailer brake: air from trailer brake canister 3 supply to trailer brake
valve , there are two ports , one in red joint for charging , charge to trailer canister ,
