2518 means 25 ton carrying capacity including veh weight and 18 means 18
x 10 = 180 hp engine efficiency.
Note: You must be set valve
clearance immediately after first engine oil change, otherwise eng may not be
run smoothly and it creates noise from rocker lever.
Valve clearance at cold condition- Inlet .254mm
(0.01”) and Outlet 0.508 mm (0.02”)
Coolant temperature may be in between 50o C to
130 o C, however normal temperature may be at 95 o C. Use
distilled water in coolant (for neutralise the corrosion inhibitor component)
with 50 to 68% antifreeze depending up on cold climatic condition. Never use
more than 68% antifreeze in any circumstance.
Engine oil pressure at idle RPM is 0.703 Kg/cm2 (minimum), Maximum at full speed is 2.10 Kg/cm2
and at normal running 1.26 Kg/cm2 should be maintained. 2.10 Ltr engine
oil required for fill from “L” mark to “H” mark in oil sump.
Tyre size1000 x 20, 16 PR, pressure- Front 7.25 bar rear
both axles 7.75 bar each. Battery -12 V 135 AH x 2.
Know your vehicle/ some hints for trouble shooting
Engine: Cummins B 5.9,
180 BS III, Maximum output 178 BHP (180) at 2500 RPM, Maximum Torque 680 Nm at
1500 RPM. The engine idle 750 RPM and
Maximum 2500 RPM. Pump
– BOCSH Rotary type. The idle running continues
beyond 2.5 – 3 minute, the accelerator pedal become idles (not work) and
the idle RPM of engine should be reduced from 750 to 500 RPM. If the accelerator pedal is not working, then turn off
the key and re-start the engine so that the accelerator pedal will come in
functional.
If
air lock, (never try to self-start the engine) first check and
ensure fuel is in the tank, then loose
bolt on the top of fuel filter for air went and operate feed pump manually then tight. Further loose the 1st, 2nd
& 6th injector’s fuel line nut and tight on free flow of fuel. Now self-start the engine.
The maximum speed of vehicle is 70 Kmph. Giving accelerator beyond this point will causes excess
consumption of fuel without engine pickup.
Exhaust brake/ engine brake operate only after release
accelerator pedal and then press switch on panel board for engage and
disengage.
A/c
cabin: A/C unit only be operated while engine is in running condition and put
it off before engine shut down. A/C should not be
operated when vehicle climbing to a gradient. For
functioning of A/C fuel excess consumption is only 2.5 ml/ hour. Quantity of A/C gas is only 500 ml.
Steering wheel can be adjusted towards front, reverse, up
& down as per your feasibility.
Gear Box: (Eaton-9) has 9 gear positions (8 F & 1 R) with
in two ranges as low and high. In low range gear leaver should be locate in
between 3 & 4 gear as neutral. For shift from low range to high range give
a simple strike pull shift and it locate in between 5 & 6 gear as neutral.
The
vehicle should only be moved on 1st gear and shift up to gear 8 as
per your road condition and ability. Gear should only be shifted, when the
clutch pedal reaches up to the maximum in a single press. (Single full press)
Reverse
gear located in low range and is required little extra pressure for engage. In addition to these 9 gears there is an “L” gear,
opposite to the reverse gear. It meant for use, if the load in the vehicle is
high, and you hesitate that vehicle may not climb the gradient ahead in 1st
gear. Then simply engage the “L” gear and keep the engine RPM in between
1500 to 2000 (Never rise up) the vehicle will climb very smoothly. The “L” gear
should only be engage in the beginning of the gradient and not in the middle.
While parking: never keep the
vehicle in gear for overnight. Air and electric system control the gear box
function, and on reduction of air pressure, it will cause hardship to shift the
gear lever to neutral. Keeping vehicle in gear for a short time, such as
loading the vehicle etc is not a matter.
The gear lever should be shift from one to another in a
very smooth way without any hard ship except in reverse gear. If feel any hardship to shift the gear, check the
following:-
a)
|
Release the engine bonnet lock and open the bonnet.
|
b)
|
Find out two adjustable link rods which are connected to gear lever low
range and high range. (it will be play, if gear lever shifted from low range
to high range or via versa)
|
c)
|
Measure the distance from centre to centre of bulb (projected portion)
of adjustable link rod connector in both sides. It
should be 490 mm for Right side link (Driver side) and 460 mm for left side link. Reset if required and
then lock the check nut. (Driver should frequently check the tightness of this
lock nut)
|
| d) |
Now watch the easy shift of gear lever if air pressure is at 6 kg/cm2.
|
The clutch oil should only be keep
half bottle, and never top up to full because air contact required.
The brake should not be adjusted, it should be self-adjusted. Brake
released at air pressure of 6 Kg/cm2 and vehicle can be move.
All electrical wiring junctions will available in the
cabin, near left door lower hinge portion.
On both rear axles there are two air breathers, clean the air vent regularly on breather. Chocked
air vent will damage/ perish of both side hub seals. Regular greasing required on rear axles
leaf-spring bogie suspension only one grease point on each side, till ejection
of old grease to avoid excess worn out of bogie bushes.
Inter axle lock can be done when veh required
extra torque or one of the axle caught in the mud. Never
engage or disengage the inter axle lock while vehicle is in running condition
and also not engage for long time.
Tilting
of Cabin: before operate you must remove all heavy & loose items from the
cabin, such as jack & lever and tool box etc. Turn the knob towards rear on
the tilt jack located on chassis, below the co-driver seat. Operate tilt jack
by the help of lever. The lock should be release automatically and cabin will
tilt up. For down, turn the knob towards front and operate lever, the cabin
will come to the original position, then, again operate 3-4 times for auto
locking.
