DRIVE SYSTEM
Proceed as follows for maintenance and/or repair of the gearbox or electric motors:

Lift the machine and secure it.

Remove the tension on the rubber track (Fig. 1).

Take the rubber track apart.

Unplug the power supply to the motor.

Fig. 1

DRIVE SYSTEM (CONTINUED)

Remove the 8 hexagon cylindrical screws (Fig. 2, #1, 2, 3, 4, 5 & 6) and (Fig. 3 # 7 & 8). We
now have the right side of the drive system.

DRIVE SYSTEM (CONTINUED)

Disassemble the bearing from its support (Fig. 4 #2).

Loosen the tightening screw from the threaded collar (Fig. 4 #3) and remove the collar.

Remove the nut (Fig. 4 #4).

Remove the drive wheel (Fig. 4 #5).

Take apart the shaft locking device (Fig. 4 #6).

Remove the shaft (Fig. 4 #7).

Remove the 4 hexagon cylindrical screws (Fig. 4 #8). We now have the motor-gearbox set.

DRIVE SYSTEM (CONTINUED)

Before removing the bolts that attachs the motor to the gearbox, remove the two plastic plugs
by the gearbox flange (Fig. 5).

Then, align the key set screw and the tightening screw from the coupling collar with the two
holes on the gearbox.

Then, loosen the two screws.

DRIVE SYSTEM (CONTINUED)

Now, simply remove the 4 hexagon cylindrical screws that attachs the motor to the gearbox
(Fig. 6).

Fig. 6

To re-assemble, proceed in reverse.

Carry out the following step before assembling the motor-gearbox set:
THE MOTOR KEY MUST BE GLUED INTO ITS KEYWAY USING LOCTITE #242 OR EQUIVALENT.
MAKE SURE THAT THERE IS NO TRACE OF LOCTITE ON THE SHAFT BEFORE INSERTING IT INTO THE
GEARBOX COUPLING.

After the motor has been bolted to the gearbox, tighten the collar and the set screw on the key.

13

HYDRAULIC PUMP

Be sure that there is no pressure in the hydraulic system before taking apart the hydraulic pump.

Take apart the oil intake and outtake (red arrows).

Loosen the set screw on the motor-pump coupling located under the orange cover (green
arrow).

Loosen the hexagon cylindrical screws (yellow arrow).

14

HYDRAULIC CYLINDERS
BUCKET CYLINDER

Be sure that there is no pressure in the hydraulic system before taking apart the hydraulic
cylinder.

Take apart the oil intake and outtake (red arrows).

Loosen the hexagon cylindrical screws (green arrows). This allows the two cylinder fixing pins
to be removed.

15

HYDRAULIC CYLINDERS

MAST CYLINDER

Be sure that there is no pressure in the hydraulic system before taking apart the hydraulic
cylinder.

Take apart the oil intake and outtake.

Loosen the hexagon cylindrical screws (green arrows). This allows the two cylinder fixing pins
to be removed.

OIL FILTER

Be sure that there is no pressure in the hydraulic system

before taking apart the oil filter.

Unscrew the filter.

Lubricate the seal of the new filter and screw into place.

Change the oil filter every three months.

16

HYDRAULIC VALVES

Be sure that there is no pressure in the hydraulic system before taking apart a valve.

Identify the electric connectors before taking apart.

Unbolt the 4 hexagon cylindrical screws (red arrows).

Before replacing the valve, make sure that all the seals are properly positioned.

17

DISMANTLING THE BUCKET

Remove the clip (red arrow).

Remove the fixing pin (green arrow).

Rotate the latch (blue arrow).

Repeat the procedure for the other side.

You can now activate the hydraulic cylinders to remove the bucket.

Proceed in reverse to replace the bucket.

18

RECEIVER

Identify the electric connectors and disconnect them.

Remove the two bolts (red arrows).

19

BATTERIES

To change the batteries, unplug the 2 connectors (green arrows) and place it on top of the
batteries.

20

BATTERIES (CONTINUED)

Place the lifting tool/ (blue arrow) as shown.

Use a 500 Kg, minimum lifting device, to lift the batteries.

21

TRACK DRIVE MOTORS

Identify the electric connectors and disconnect them.

Unbolt the 4 hexagon cylindrical screws (green arrow).

Drive #1 corresponds to the left side of the dozer.

Drive #2 corresponds to the right side of the dozer.

22

HYDRAULIC PUMP DRIVE MOTOR

The drive motor is located behind the battery connector.

Identify the connectors and disconnect them.

Unbolt the 2 hexagon cylindrical screws.
