D. ADJUSTMENT INSTRUCTIONS

1. Service Brake Adjustment

(a) Remove master cylinder.

(b) Measure the distance between the inner face of the piston to the tip of the push rod.This length should be 0.9" (+ 0.06"). Adjust the length as required to be withintolerance by turning the screw on the end of the push rod in or out.

2. Park Brake Adjustment

- for units with Ford engine and C6 transmission

The parking brake lever is connected by two straps to the parking brake drum on the end ofthe transmission. When the lever is in the “lock” position, the straps are pulled, pressing thedrum shoes against the drum and holding the tractor from moving. To adjust the parkingbrake, turn the knob on the lever to the right (clockwise) to tighten the brakes or turn it to theleft (cunterclockwise) to slacken the brakes.- for units with Ford engine and 4L70 transmission

The parking brake lever is connected by rod to the parking brake caliper on the input shaft ofthe rear axle. When the lever is in the “lock” position, the rod is pulled, actuating the caliperwhich squeezes the pads and holds the tractor from moving. To adjust the parking brake, turnthe knob on the lever to the right (clockwise) to tighten the brakes or turn it to the left(counterclockwise) to slacken the brakes. Also, the rod has adjustable yokes on each endwhich allow for more adjustment as the parking brake wears. This rod can be adjustedduring normal maintenance procedures while the unit is on a lift.

3. Vertical Headlight Adjustment

(a) Loosen the nut on the horizontal bolt.

(b) Aim headlight in desired position.

(c) Tighten the nut.

4. Horizontal Headlight Adjustment

(a) Loosen the nut on the vertical shaft that holds the entire headlight assembly to therail.

(b) Aim headlight in desired direction.

(c) Tighten the nut.

5. Cab Door Adjustment

The adjustment of a cab door is accomplished by loosening the bolts on the hinges [(2) perhinge]. Hold door in desired position and secure by tightening the bolts.

6. Toe-In Adjustment

(a) A level piece of pavement that is flat and smooth for at least 20 ft is required. Driveahead slowly and, with the cross spoke of the steering wheel at center, run the tractorabsolutely straight without touching the steering wheel.

(b) Use the parking brake to stop the tractor at end of the run. Now the wheels arestraight, so don’t bounce the truck around.

(c) Using two flat sticks and a pencil, position yourself on your back with the two sticksheld together so you can measure the distance between the two front wheels; first at3 o’clock, then at 9 o’clock.

(d) Make the toe-in on the rim.

(e) Hold the ends of the sticks extended to reach both tire rims. Hold them togetherwhile you make a pencil mark where the sticks meet.

(f) Measure between the backs of the tire rims (9 o’clock). Make your mark for theback. The back mark should be 0" to 1/8" further than the front mark. In otherwords, the wheel should be 0" to 1/8" pigeon-toed.

(g) Turn the sticks over, measure again and make different marks to check yourself foraccuracy. If the back marks are 0" to 1/8" further apart than the front marks, yourtoe-in is adjusted correctly.

(h) To adjust toe-in, change the length of the tie-rod. Turn the tie rod clamps so the rodcan turn on the tie rod end.

(i) Turn the tie rod so it either increases the pigeon-toe or decreases it. Adjust the toe-inso it checks out right with the sticks: 0" to 1/8" longer in back.

H. DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODE (DTC) CHARTS (GASOLINE ENGINES ONLY)

1. Some units are equipped with a malfunction indicator light (MIL) on the instrument panel. Thissection contains a list of all the DTCs that may be obtained by diagnostic software or theMIL. If this option is equipped, additional information can be found in the Ford service manuallocated in Chapter 5.

NOTE: When checking codes with the diagnostic software, the DTCterminal can NOT be grounded.

2. When diagnostic trouble codes are obtained by the MIL, the following sequence will flash:

(a) 123 will flash 3 times to indicate the beginning of the flash code display sequence.

(b) Any active DTCs will flash 3 times each.

(c) 123 will flash 3 times indicating the end of the code display sequence.

3. If code 123 is the only code present, the system does not have any active codes - all systemsare working fine.

4. If an active DTC is present, refer to the corresponding DTC Chart in the Ford service manuallocated in Chapter 5 (only if equipped). Begin with the lowest number code first.

5. If you have a symptom of the pedal not working, and no DTC is set, go to the voltage screenand check pedal voltage. If pedal voltage is .75-1.25V, and idle validation switch says the unitis at idle, replace the pedal.

I. DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODE (DTC) CHARTS ( DEUTZ 2.9L)

a. Diagnostic button

The diagnostic button allows the errors currently saved in the errror memory of the electronic enginecontrol to be visualised in the form of a flash code. The flash codes permit:

• Errors that may occur can be classified.• Clear display of the error as visual signal.

- The blink codes can only be interpreted by a DEUTZ partner.

b. Use of the diagnostic key

The flash code displays all errors in the error memory, this means astive as well as passive ones.

The control unit must be switched off to start the engine (ignition off). Then the diagnosis buttonshould be presed for aprox. 1s during the start (ignition on).

Then next error (i.e. the following one in the error memory) can be displayd by pressing the diagnostic key again. If the lash error was displaed the first error is displaed again by pressing the diagnostic key again.

After the display of the error flash code, the error lamp goes out for five seconds.

c. Display system error by flash code

Example:

Flash code 1-2-81 x short flash2 x long flash8 x short flash

Code Designation DTC 613 A/D Loss DTC 614 RTI 1 Loss DTC 615 Flash Checksum Invalid DTC 616 RAM failure DTC 631 External 5V Ref Lower Than Expected DTC 632 External 5V Ref Higher Than Expected DTC 655 RTI 2 Loss DTC 656 RTI 3 loss

It is imperative in anyapplication where the fuel will not be consumed within thirty days. Ford FuelStabilizer comes in an 8 fl. oz. (0.24 L) bottle for consumer use and should beavailable through all EDI Distributors. The correct ratio is 2 oz. (0.06L)Stabilizer to 5 gallons (18.9 L) of gasoline. Without the use of an additive, theunused fuel in your fuel tank can and will go sour in a very short period oftime, causing varnish and contaminants to form. This causes problems in fueldelivery by clogging fuel injectors.

(2) While the engine is running, treat upper cylinders by spraying engine foggingagent (from your local aftermarket supplier) into the air intake for about twominutes. Open throttle for short burst of speed, shut off engine and allow it tocome to a stop while continuing to spray into air intake.

(3) Leave spark plugs in holes or seal spark plug holes with suitable threadedmetal plugs and cover all openings into engine with dust-proof caps or shields(suitable non-hygroscopic material).

(4) If engine is less transmission, spray flywheel and ring gear with mixture ofone part recommended engine oil, and one part Stoddard Solvent orequivalent.

SECTION 2: STEERING

A. PROCEDURE

If the tractor has been properly lubricated and maintained and has not experienced damage to thesteering system, the steering components will provide many hours of service without an overhaul.Should overhaul be required, or suspected as being required, follow the procedure below:

1. Jack up the front end of the tractor using normal jacking procedures ( i.e., chock rear tires,apply hand brake, and place blocks under tractor front bumper).

2. Inspect the steering linkage rod for damage. Also check for wear of the linkage rod ball bygrasping the rod and shaking it. If the linkage rod ball joints are loose, replace the rod.

3. Grasp the top and bottom of each tire and shake it in and out to determine any wobble orlooseness, while observing the hub and spindle area. If there is any wobble or looseness inthe hub, but the spindle is rigid, then the wheel bearings and seals should be adjusted bytightening the hub retainer nut. If excessive noise is experienced after adjustment, thebearings and seals should be replaced as follows:

(a) Remove the front wheels by removing the lug nuts on each wheel.

(b) Remove the hub plate attachment bolts, the hub plate, gasket, outer hub retainer nut,nut lock, and inner hub retainer nut.

(c) Grasp the hub and slide it off the axle shaft.

(d) Remove the inner and outer seals and bearings from the hub and wipe the hubinterior clean.

(e) Inspect hub interior surfaces (bearing races) for scoring. If the races are scored orworn, replace with new races.

(f) Install new bearings and seals into the hub, packing the bearings with lithium-basegrease, and replace the hub onto the axle shaft.

(g) Secure the hub with the retainer nuts and nut lock and replace the hub plate.

(h) Install the wheel.Pro

4. Grasp the top and bottom of the wheel and check for spindle bolt and bushing wear by shakingthe wheel in and out while observing the hub and spindle area. If the hub is rigid, but thespindle has play in it at the axle connection, the spindle bolt and bushings should be replaced asfollows on each wheel:

(a) Remove the front wheels.

(b) Disconnect the spindle arm from the axle by removing the cotter pin and retainer nut.

(c) Remove the spindle bolt retainer clip, washer, and grease seal.

(d) Remove the spindle bolt and lock pin and pull the spindle bolt out the top of thespindle.

(e) Replace the two (2) bushings in the spindle bolt holes of the spindle.

(f) Clean and inspect the spindle bearing, replacing the bearing if worn, and repack thebearing.

(g) Position the spindle onto the axle end with the bearing positioned between the lowerflange of the spindle and the axle end.

(h) Install spacers between the upper flange of the spindle and the axle until a snuginstallation is obtained.

(i) Install the new spindle bolt and secure it in place within the axle using the spindlebolt lock pin.

(j) Install the grease seal, washer, and spindle bolt retainer clip.

(k) Install the spindle arm to the axle with the retainer nut and cotter pin.

(l) Install the wheel.

5. Grasp the sides of the wheel and shake it from side to side while observing the rod ends. Ifexcessive movement of slack is observed in the rod connection ends, replace the connectingrod ends as follows:

(a) Disconnect the rod ends from the spindle arms by removing the cotter pins andretainer nuts.

(b) Remove the connecting rod and remove the rod end retainer clamps.

(c) Screw the new rod ends approximately ¼" into each end of the rod.

SECTION 3: DRIVE SHAFT UNIVERSAL JOINTS

A. DISASSEMBLY

1. Remove the drive shaft from the tractor.

2. Place one section of the shaft in a vise being careful not to damage it.

3. Remove the snap rings that retain the bearings.

4. Press the bearing out of the flange by using a universal joint removal tool. If the bearingcannot be pressed all the way out of the flange, remove it with vise grip or channel lockpliers.

5. Reposition the tool to press on the spider in order to remove the bearing from the oppositeside of the flange.

6. Remove the flange from the spider.

7. Remove the bearings and spider from the other end of the drive shaft, following the aboveprocedure.

8. Clean all foreign matter from the flange and yoke of both drive shaft ends.

9. Wash all parts in cleaning fluid. Use of vapor degreaser is permissible in lieu of kerosene orother solvents. Check the lubricant passages in the journals for evidence of wear or excessiveheat.

10. Soak the needle bearing assemblies in a commercial cleaning fluid to soften particles ofhardened grease. Then, wash these parts in cleaning fluid, using a stiff brush if necessary, toremove all old lubricant. Check each bearing for missing rollers.

11. After the needle bearing assemblies are thoroughly clean, apply clean lubricant to the rollers.Rotate them on the trunnion of the journal to check wear. Fill the journal passages withlubricant and fill the bearings approximately 1/3 full of lubricant before reassembly.

B. ASSEMBLY

1. Start a new bearing into the yoke at the rear of the drive shaft.

2. Position the spider in the rear yoke and press the bearing below the surface.

3. Remove the tool and install a new snap ring.

SECTION 5: BLEEDING THE REAR DISC BRAKE SYSTEM

1. GENERAL

(a) If the caliper was removed for overhaul, or if the brake hose or steel line wasdisconnected for any reason, it will be necessary to bleed all air from the calipers andconnecting lines.

(b) Prior to bleeding the system, it is important to check the master cylinder reservoir.Use hydraulic fluid, DOT 3, Extra Heavy Duty Brake Fluid to bring the level up towithin 1/8" (3mm) of the top.

(c) Brakes can be bled either manually or with pressure bleeding equipment.

CAUTION: FLUID THAT IS DRAINED, FLUSHED OR BLED OUT OF ATRACTOR’S BRAKE SYSTEM SHOULD BE DISCARDED. IT IS NOTSAFE FOR REUSE FOR ANY PURPOSE.

2. MANUAL BLEEDING

(a) Manual bleeding requires two people, one to pump the brake pedal and another tooperate the bleeder valves. Make sure that the master cylinder is full. After thebleeder valve is opened, depress the brake pedal one full stroke, close bleeder valve,then allow the pedal to return slowly to the released position. Allowing the pedal toreturn too quickly may draw air into the system. Continue operating the pedal in thismanner until one cylinder or caliper is bled. Refill the master cylinder and go on tothe next cylinder or caliper.

CAUTION: IN ORDER TO ENSURE THAT NO AIR CAN BESUCKED BACK INTO THE SYSTEM, THE BLEEDER VALVE MUSTBE CLOSED AT THE END OF EACH STROKE, BEFORE THEBRAKE PEDAL IS RELEASED.

(b) Since it is desirable to bleed the longest line first, the normal sequence for manualbleeding at the wheels is: Right Aft, Left Aft, Right Forward and Left Forward.

(c) Check the fluid level in the reservoir frequently during the bleeding procedure.

3. PRESSURE BLEEDING

(a) If the equipment is available, the pressure tank method of bleeding is faster, since the

Note

master cylinder does not have to be refilled several times. Pressure bleedingequipment must be of the diaphragm type. That is, it must have a rubber diaphragmbetween the air supply and the brake fluid to prevent air, moisture, oil and othercontaminants from entering the hydraulic system. Install the special bleeding adapterto the master cylinder. Make sure that the pressure tank is at least 1/3 full of fluid.Position the tank so that its hose will easily reach the adapter on master cylinder ofthe vehicle being serviced, then make the air pressure connection to tank (20 to 25psi) . Open the tank valve to bleed all air out of the hose before connecting it to theadapter. After making this connection, open the valve when ready to begin bleeding.

CAUTION: DO NOT LIFT, MOVE OR SHAKE THE TANK AFTER AIRPRESSURE IS APPLIED. THIS MAY CAUSE AIR TO BECOMETRAPPED IN THE FLUID.

(b) Bleed both rear calipers, then bleed both front calipers. This provides the mosteffective means for expelling all air from the brake system when pressure bleeding.

NOTE: The pressure bleeding process may be speeded up by lightly tappingthe brake pedal when the bleeder valve is opened. This createspulsations that tend to purge air from the system.

4. CHECK-OUT

(a) Check brake pedal for sponginess or hard pedal.

(b) Drive tractor slowly and make several slow speed stops.

(c) Check all brake fluid line fittings and caliper areas for fluid leakage.

(d) Correct any discrepancies before returning tractor to normal service.
