Loss of Hydrostatic Braking Ability
WARNINGThe loss of hydrostatic drive line power in anymode of operation (e.g. acceleration, decelera-tion or "neutral" mode) may cause a loss ofhydrostatic braking capacity. A braking sys-tem which is independent of the hydrostatictransmission must, therefore, be providedwhich is adequate to stop and hold the systemshould the condition develop.
Disable Work Function
WARNINGCertain service procedures require the vehicle/machine to be disabled (wheels raised off theground, work function disconnected, etc.) whileperforming them in order to prevent injury tothe technician and bystanders.
Fluid Under High Pressure
WARNINGUse caution when dealing with hydraulic fluidunder pressure. Escaping hydraulic fluid un-der pressure can have sufficient force to pen-etrate your skin causing serious injury. Thisfluid may also be hot enough to burn. Seriousinfection or reactions can develop if propermedical treatment is not administered immedi-ately.
Flammable Cleaning Solvents
WARNINGSome cleaning solvents are flammable. Toavoid possible fire, do not use cleaning sol-vents in an area where a source of ignition maybe present.
The procedures herein should be performed by trained personnel only. Observe the following safety precautionswhen using and servicing hydrostatic products.

Charge / Implement Hydraulic Pump
A fixed displacement (gear type) pump is installed onthe hydraulic housing and is driven off the closedcircuit pump shaft. The pump supplies cool fluid to thesystem, keeps the system charged, supplies fluid tooperate the motor control system, and provides flowto the auxiliary hydraulic circuits. Charge pressure isregulated by a pressure priority valve.
FilterThe pump draws fluid from the transaxle housing. Anintegral inlet filter is provided to insure that only cleanfluid enters the system.
Heat Exchanger
A heat exchanger, with a bypass valve, is required tocool the return flow from auxiliary hydraulic circuitfluid before it returns to the transaxle housing.
Charge Pressure Priority Valve
Charge pressure is controlled by a priority pressurevalve which directs flow from the charge /implementhydraulic pump. Priority flow from this valve is di-rected to the charge circuit. Once the desired chargepressure is reached, excess flow is directed to theimplement circuit.
When pressure in the implement circuit increases,this valve acts as a pressure reducing valve to main-tain the charge pressure at a constant level.
Implement Circuit Relief Valve
A relief valve is provided to protect the implementcircuit from overload. The setting of this valve isadjustable and set at the factory.

System Relief Valves (SCRs)
Combination system check / high pressure reliefvalves are provided in the hydraulic center section forclosed loop overload protection. These cartridge typerelief valves are factory set, and are not field adjust-able. Changing the maximum system pressure canbe accomplished by installing different cartridgeswith the desired setting.
Easy-Ride Valves
The Easy-Ride valves work to reduce the rate ofchange in acceleration (ÒjerkinessÓ) of the vehicle bylimiting the rate of pressure rise in the closed loop.These valves permit flow from the high to the lowpressure side of the loop (through the charge circuit)when loop pressure increases suddenly.
Each Easy-Ride valve consists of a poppet-piston,sleeve assembly, spring, and plug, which are in-stalled in the hydraulic center section. The poppet-piston and its seat form a valve to close off thepassage between one side of the closed loop and thecharge pressure passage. The spring pre-loads thesleeve assembly and holds the poppet-piston closedagainst its seat in the end cap when loop pressure islow.

Variable Motor 2-Position ElectrohydraulicControl
This control utilizes an electric solenoid operated 2-position hydraulic valve to port charge pressure toeither of the motor displacement control pistons. Themotor is normally held at its maximum displacement.Energizing the solenoid will cause the motor to go toits minimum displacement.
Pump Neutral Return Mechanism
The pump neutral return mechanism maintains andreturns the pump swashplate to neutral position. Themechanism requires that the displacement controllinkage contain less than 2 Nm (20 in•lbf) of friction.
If the neutral return mechanism is off-center, it can beadjusted as in Sec. 6.3.

Neutral Start Switches (NSS)
The IHT-M15 may have neutral start switches toensure engine engagement does not occur with theunit out of neutral.
The pump neutral start switch provides a means toprevent the vehicle engine from starting while thepump swashplate is in a position which would placethe pump "in-stroke" in either the "forward" or "re-verse" direction.
When the pump swashplate trunnion is in its "neutral"position (zero displacement), the inner end of theswitch pin moves into a slot on an eccentric camwhich is linked to the swashplate via a lever. Thisallows the spring-loaded NSS to close, completingthe electrical starting circuit for the vehicle engine.
When the swashplate shaft is NOT in its "neutral"position, the eccentric cam moves the switch pin outof the slot. This forces the NSS to open, breaking theelectrical starting circuit for the vehicle engine.
The range control neutral start switch works in asimilar manner. It permits the engine to start onlywhen the range control is set at neutral. This preventsthe drive function from being suddenly engaged atstart-up.
Speed SensorAn optional speed sensor can be installed to providemotor speed information. The sensor reads a mag-netic ring on the motor cylinder. Pin NSS

Pressure gauges are used to measure pressure atvarious points in the hydraulic circuit. The IHT-M15has dedicated gauge ports for system pressure andcharge pressure. Implement circuit pressure can bemeasured by teeing into the implement circuit hosethat exits the implement outlet port. Case pressure ismaintained at atmospheric pressure through thebreather vent.
NOTE: Implement circuit pressure can be mea-sured directly from the implement circuit outletport. However, as this forces flow through theimplement circuit relief valve, heat will generatequickly. The IHT-M15 should not be run for morethan a short period in this way.
WARNINGFluid under high pressure. Do not remove orinstall gauges or plugs when the engine is on.

IHT-M15 Start-Up, Fluids, and Filter 5
This start-up procedure should always be followedwhen starting-up a new IHT-M15 installation.
WARNINGThe following procedure requires the vehicleto be disabled (wheels raised off the ground orother precautions taken) while performing theprocedure in order to prevent injury to thetechnician and bystanders. Take necessarysafety precautions before moving the vehicle/machine.
Make certain all system components (reservoir, hoses,valves, fittings, heat exchanger, etc.) are clean priorto filling with fluid.
Fill the housing reservoir with recommended fluidwhich should be passed through a 10 micron (nomi-nal, no bypass) filter prior to entering the reservoir.The use of contaminated fluid will cause damage tothe components.
When the housing reservoir is filled to the proper levelthe filter will be full of fluid. Check that the inlet filtercartridge is properly tightened to avoid leakage.
Install a 50 bar (500 psi) pressure gauge in the chargepressure gauge port to monitor charge pressureduring start-up.
Place the range control in its neutral position. It isrecommended that the external control input linkagebe disconnected at the pump control until after initialstart-up. This will allow the pump to remain in its"neutral" (zero-flow) position.
"Jog" or slowly rotate the vehicle engine until chargepressure starts to rise. Start the vehicle engine and
run at the lowest possible RPM until charge pressurehas been established.
WARNINGDo not start vehicle engine unless pump is in"neutral" position (0° swashplate angle) andthe range control mechanism is in neutral.Take precautions to prevent vehicle move-ment in case pump is actuated during initialstart up.
Once charge pressure has been established, in-crease speed to normal operating RPM. Chargepressure should be 5.5 bar (80 psi) minimum and amaximum of 9 bar (130 psi). If charge pressure isincorrect, shut down and determine cause for im-proper pressure.
Shut down vehicle engine and connect external con-trol linkage to the pump. Start vehicle engine, check-ing to be certain pump remains in neutral. Engage themechanical gearbox and, with vehicle engine at nor-mal operating speed, slowly check for forward andreverse vehicle operation.
Charge pressure should remain at 5.5 bar (80 psi)minimum during forward or reverse operation. Con-tinue to cycle slowly between forward and reverse forat least five (5) minutes.
Shut down vehicle engine, remove gauges, and plugports. Check fluid level and add fluid if necessary.Avoid overfilling unit. Overfilling unit will result inadditional horsepower loss and heat generation.
The transaxle is now ready for operation.
Acceptable fluids must have additives that provideacceptable performance when operating with multi-disk brake and clutch components.
Most premium tractor fluids are suitable for operationin the IHT-M15. Mobil 424 or its equivalent is recom-mended by the factory.
Automatic transmission fluids such as Type F and
5. Start-up, Fluids, and Filter
5.1 Fluids Specification
Dextron should not be used. Use of these fluids willresult in a reduction of component life.
Rapeseed-based oils are not recommended for use.Premium synthetic ester oils, such as Mobil Syndraulic46 should provide service life similar to mineral basedoils under similar conditions. Change interval mustbe decreased to 75% of recommendations in section5.2.
5.2 Start-up Procedure
17
IHT-M15 Start-Up, Fluids, and Filter 5
To ensure optimum service life of the IHT-M15transaxle, regular maintenance of the fluid and filtermust be performed.
Check the housing daily for proper fluid level. Thefluid level should fall between the "Add" and "Full"lines on the dipstick. Also check for the presence ofwater (noted by a cloudy to milky appearance of thefluid), and rancid fluid odor (indicating excessiveheat).
It is recommended that the fluid and filter be changedper the vehicle/machine manufacturerÕs recommenda-tions or initially after 200 hours and then at 600 hourintervals of vehicle operation.
CAUTIONAvoid overfilling or underfilling the unit. Over-filling unit will result in additional horsepowerloss and heat generation. Underfilling the unitwill in serious damage.
It may be necessary to change the fluid more fre-quently than the above interval if the fluid becomescontaminated with foreign matter (dirt, water, grease,etc.) or if the fluid has been subjected to temperaturelevels greater than the maximum recommended.Never reuse fluid.
After filling, run the unit and its implement circuitbriefly and recheck the fluid level.
NOTE: When on a level surface, the proper oillevel is to the base of the fill level plug on the backof the IHT-M15.
The filter should be changed whenever the fluid ischanged. See section 7.11 for instructions on chang-ing the filter.
The transaxle is supplied with a filter installed at thefactory. A factory supplied filter replacement is rec-ommended. A suction filter with time waited averageratings of β
10 = 5.5 and β
20 = 75 is required.

IHT-M15 Inspections and Adjustments 6
6. Inspections and Adjustments
6.1 Charge Pressure Priority Valve Inspection
Incorrect charge pressure can lead to improper func-tioning of many systems. A charge pressure that istoo low or too high may be the result of the chargepressure priority valve sticking. This can be remediedby removing and cleaning the valve per Sec. 7.8.
Check charge pressure as follows.
WARNINGThe following procedure requires the vehicleto be disabled (wheels raised off the ground,etc.) in order to prevent injury to the technicianand bystanders.
1. Disable vehicle by raising wheels off of ground.
2. To measure charge pressure, install a 35 bar (or500 psi) pressure gauge in the charge pressuregauge port.
3. Operate the system with the pump in "neutral"(zero angle) and in forward and reverse whenmeasuring charge pressure.
Charge pressure should be between 5.5 and 9 bar(80 to 130 psi) at 1800 engine rpm and a fluidtemperature of 49°C (120°F ).
If charge pressure is too low or high, follow Sec. 7.8to remove and clean the charge pressure priorityvalve. Ensure the valve and spring are reinstalledproperly.

IHT-M15 Inspections and Adjustments 6
Implement circuit pressure can be measured, and theimplement relief valve can be adjusted. However, therelief valve is set at the factory, and should not betampered with except to remedy an inadvertent ad-justment.
WARNINGThe following procedures require the vehicleto be disabled (wheels raised off the ground,etc.) in order to prevent injury to the technicianand bystanders.
Measuring Implement Circuit Pressure1. With engine off, set a pressure gauge to measure
implement circuit pressure by teeing into theimplement hose that is connected to the imple-ment circuit outlet port.
2. Measure standard implement pressure with en-gine input speed at 1800 rev/min and the pump inneutral.
The correct setting for implement circuit pressure willvary depending on your application and gear ratios.The "nominal" relief setting is set for 2 l/min (0.5 gpm)flow moving through the valve. However, in checkingcircuit pressure, it is easiest to measure pressure at"full" relief flow (11 l/min (3 gpm)); this pressure willmeasure 8 bar (120 psi) above the nominal setting.As an example, for a nominal relief setting of "70 bar"("1000 psi"), implement circuit pressure should read78 ± 1 bar (1120 ± 15 psi) at full relief flow.
To adjust implement circuit pressure continue below.

6.4 Pump Neutral Start Switch (NSS) Adjustment
The Pump NSS must be adjusted to meet the follow-ing requirements:
i. The angle through which the swashplate shaftcan be turned without opening the NSS is calledthe "NSS deadband." The angle through whichthe swashplate shaft can be turned without mov-ing the swashplate enough to build 7 bar (100 psi)differential system pressure in either direction iscalled the "swashplate shaft deadband." Thesedeadbands must be centered in relation to eachother.
Since the position of the swashplate shaftdeadband cannot be adjusted, the position of theNSS deadband must be adjusted to match it. Theswitch is located in a special adjusting plug in theneutral return mechanism cover. The position ofthe cover may be changed to move the center ofthe NSS deadband.
ii) The NSS deadband must be narrow enough sothe NSS will open before the unit builds 7 bar(100 psi) differential system pressure in eitherdirection.
The neutral start switch is threaded into thespecial adjusting plug. Turning the special plugclockwise (CW) into the cover will move the NSScloser to the switch cam on the neutral returnlever, and will narrow the NSS deadband. Turn-ing the special plug counterclockwise (CCW) outof the cover will move the NSS farther from theswitch cam on the neutral return lever, and willwiden the NSS deadband.
WARNINGThe following procedures require the vehicleto be disabled (wheels raised off ground, etc.)to prevent injury to the technician and by-standers.

Centering the Pump Neutral Start Switch(Condition i)
The NSS deadband and the swashplate shaftdeadband must be centered in relation to each other.
The neutral return mechanism adjustment should bechecked and adjusted to locate the swashplate in its"neutral" position prior to adjusting the position of thecover (Sec. 6.3).
1. Hold the special plug from turning with a 1 inchhex wrench and use a 7/8 inch hex wrench toremove the neutral start switch.
2. Loosen the four (4) cover screws with a 10 mmhex wrench.
3. Locate the switch pin in the slot of the switch camby moving the cover while checking the pin posi-tion (depth) in the plug. When the pin engages thecam slot, the pin will be at its maximum depth inthe plug. Hand tighten the cover screws to holdthe special plug in position.
4. Turn the swashplate shaft an equal amount ineither direction from "neutral." The switch pinshould move out of the special plug an equaldistance when the swashplate shaft is turned.Move the cover to center the switch pin with thecam slot. Only a small amount of adjustment ineither direction should be needed to center thepin.
5. While holding the cover in place, tighten the coverscrews to 11 Nm (8 ft•lbf). Reinstall and adjust theswitch as outlined in the previous section.
6. Recheck switch continuity to determine whetheradditional adjustment of the cover or special plugis necessary.
7. After verifying proper control and switch opera-tion, stop the vehicle engine. Remove the conti-nuity checker and pressure gauges. Reinstall thepressure gauge port plugs and reconnect theelectrical leads from the vehicle starter circuit tothe neutral start switch.

With the swashplate shaft in its "neutral"position, turn the special plug clockwise (CW)until electrical continuity is broken, then turn theplug counterclockwise (CCW) until electrical con-tinuity is obtained. Turn the plug counterclock-wise (CCW) an additional 1/8 turn after continuityhas been obtained.
4. Hold the plug in place and tighten the locknut to33 Nm (24 ft•lbf) torque.
5. With the continuity checker attached to the switch,rotate the swashplate shaft in each direction toassure continuity is broken when the shaft is notin the "neutral" position.
6. If continuity is obtained in "neutral" and satisfac-torily interrupted in each direction, proceed tocheck the switch with the vehicle engine running.The switch must open between 4 and 7 bar (60and 100 psi) differential loop pressure in eitherdirection.
7. If the switch opens after the unit builds looppressure in either direction, loosen the lock nutand turn the plug clockwise (CW) 1/12 of a turn.Tighten the lock nut and recheck the switchoperation. Repeat this procedure if necessary.
8. If neutral start switch operation is satisfactory,reconnect the external swashplate shaft linkage.
