SECTION 1.

THE MANUAL AND ITS LAYOUT

This service shop manual has been written for service personnel who maintain and/or overhaul Atkinson vehicles.

The manual fully covers the range of Atkinson vehicles listed on the title page.

All instructions are as brief as possible yet cover the essential operations necessary to maintain, replace, dismantle, inspect and overhaul the com­plete vehicle.

Where available proprietary manufacturers pub­lications are supplied with this manual which should be read in conjunction with the Atkinson literature.

Manual Units

The manual consists of several major Units which are numbered from 0 to 8, to cover the different running units of the vehicle :

Example :

UNIT 1-Engine and Ancillary Equipment.

UNIT 2-Transmission .

The Units are then divided into sections to cover individual assemblies within a Unit.

Manual Sections

Each section within a Unit consists basically of the following information:

Technical Data and Description Maintenance and Adjustments Unit Replacement. Unit Overhaul.

The number of Sections within a Unit varies from Unit to Unit depending upon the number of assem­blies which go to make up a Unit:

Example :

UNIT 2- Transmission .

SECTION 1-Clutch Unit. SECTION 2-Clutch Actuation . SECTION 3- Gearbox.

Date: January, 1969

If more than one type of gearbox or clutch is fitted within the vehicle range covered by the manual, then additional Sections will be included to cover the individual types.

Section numbers may not run consecutively within a Unit due to some types of vehicles being fitted with differently designed equipment. Therefore to keep the manual as relative to the vehicle as possible, sections may be deleted if the vehicle being dealt with is not fitted with the assembly the section(s) cover.

Page Numbers

Page numbers within a Section are numbered consecutively, starting with a new Page 1 at the beginning of each section .

Illustration Numbers

All illustrations are numbered consecutively within a Section beginning with Figure 1.

Location of Information

I nformation concerning a particular assembly with­in a Unit. such as the radiator within the Cooling System Section of the Engine Unit.· can best be located by using the Index of Contents at the beginning of each Section.

Assembly Specifications, Wear Limits and

Torque Figures

This information relative to any particular assembly is found under the heading of Technical Data within the section relating to the assembly

Service Information

The design personnel at Atkinson vehicles are constantly improving the Atkinson products, and Depots, Distributors and Agents are kept fully in­formed of all improvements by means of Service Shop Bulletins and Design Development Communi­cations.

IMPORTANT NOTES

Engine

During the routine servicing or overhaul of engines it is highly recommended that the appropriate engine manufacturers manual is always refered to for infor­mation.

If an anti - freeze solution is not in use and the vehicle is to remain standing in the open for any length of time with the atmospheric temperature approaching freezing point. the cooling system must be completely drained and a ' COOLING SYSTEM DRAINED' notice placed on the steering wheel or similar conspicuous place.

Vehicles with an anti-freeze solution in the cooling system should have a notice displayed stating' Anti­freeze, DO NOT DRAIN .'

Tractor-Trailer Combinations Electrical

Wiring

It is strongly advised that all trailers used in con­junction with these chassis are wired on the insulated return system.

If, in spite of this recommendation, earth-return chassis are adopted for use, it should be noted that a fault on the Positive side will cause a failure of the trailer return fuse.

Alternator and Control Board

If soldering, brazing or welding is necessary in the vicinity of the alternator or control board precautions must be taken to ensure that any heat source is kept well away from these units. Excessive heat reaching the transistors or diodes will cause inreparable damage.

Date : January, 1969

Air Pressure Brake System

Before carrying out any work on components in the braking system it is advisable to observe the precautions outlined in Section 4 of this Unit. Strict observance of these precautions will help to ensure efficient operation of the system and avoid the risk of premature failure.

It is important that all ancillary equipment i.e. any air pressure operated equipment must be controlled by air under pressure supplied from the auxiliary reservoirs via the pressure regulator valve. Failure to comply with this instruction will mean an auxiliary brake failure if a failure in any ancillary equipment occurs. For correct ancillary feed connection refer to Unit 6 Brakes, Section 1, Page 4, Fig . 1, letter N of this manual.

Vehicle Position

In this manual all references to left-hand or right ­hand sides mean from the driver's viewpoint when seated in the driving position.

Load Sensing

It is dangerous to operate a tractor · trailer com­bination having load sensing on the trailer only, as this means that the tractor lII(ili be over braked in any condition other than fully laden and the unit will be liable to jack-Imiving.

However, it is permissible to operate a tractor trailer combination with load sensing on the tractor only and also a combination with load sensing fitted to both units of the combination .

SECTION 4.

GENERAL FITTING INSTRUCTIONS

Absolute cleanliness must be observed when removing, overhauling and servicing assemblies.

Threads

1. Always clean threads and split -pin holes before final assembly on any unit.

2. Always discard any nuts, bolts or studs with stripped and/or deformed threads.

3. Always protect against damaging threads in exposed positions.

4. Large diameter threads on shafts, or tubes should be wrapped with tape for protection against dirt or damage. A small amount of dirt will bind or jam the nut, especially where self­locking nuts are used.

Nuts

1. Where self-locking nuts have been removed it is recommended that they are replaced with new ones of the same type.

2. When tightening up a slotted or castellated nut never slal(en it back to insert the split pin or locking wire. If difficulty is experienced, alter­native washers or nuts should be selected.

Split Pins

1. Always use new split pins throughout when replacing any assembly.

2. Never substitute spring washers or self-locking nuts where split pins were originally fitted. There is always a good reason for the use of a split pin .

Shims

1. When dismantling, note the number and posi­tion of shims removed to assist during re­assembly.

2. Always discard any torn or crumpled shims and substitute new ones of the same thickness.

3. Before re-assembly always wipe shims clean and smear with light oil.

Gasl(ets and Joints

1. It is recommended that new gaskets or joints are always used when replacing or overhauling assemblies, even though the existing ones may appear fit for further service.

2. Where an oil -tight joint is required, smear the joint and mating facings with a suitable jointing compound.

Date : January, 1969

Covers and Housings

1. Always ensure that fitting faces are wiped perfectly clean before assembly.

2. Whenever tapped holes are provided for jacking screws, use them.

3. When fitting spigoted housings or covers, ensure that the spigot is not burred and/or damaged in any way.

4. Spigoted components should always be entered evenly. Damage will be caused if a component is entered in a tilted position .

Pipes, Nipples and Unions

1. Never strain or pull a pipe when connecting up, find out why it does not meet the other com­ponent.

2. Examine all pipes carefully for cracking, fati­guing and chafing, especially at bends and clips.

3. Pipes should also be examined for cracked union nuts, dirt under the cones and seating of the nipples.

Rubber Hose Connections

All rubber/nylon hose connections should be examined for : .

1. Softening due to oil contamination .

2. Hardening due to the effects of heat.

3. General perishing.

Oil Seals

1. The Use of Part-worn Oil Seals

It is generally recommended that an oil seal which has been removed or disturbed during unit overhaul should not be refitted . It is permissible however, to use an old oil seal if it can be left in its housing and on the shaft, providing it was previously functioning correctly.

Never allow an oil seal to pass through a degreasing plant (trichorethylene) . On no account clean with paraffin or petrol. Use a light lubricating oil.

Unit: 0

Section: 4

Page: 2 SERVICE SHOP MANUAL Date: January, 1969

2. Examination of Oil Seals prior to Refitting

To establish whether a seal is su itable for further service, discard if :

. a. The wiping edge shows evidence of damage and/or uneven wear.

b. The seal is loose in its shell.

c. The seal spring is broken or damaged.

d. The shell or metal components of the seal are distorted or damaged.

3. To Fit an Oil Seal

a. Oil seals whether fitted with a single or double wiping edge should be fitted with the spring loaded wiping edge of the sealing member towards the housing in which the lubricant is to be retained.

b. Fit the seal into its housing with a service tool approximately 0·015 in (0·0381 mm) less in diameter than the outer diameter of the seal, by applying a firm uniform pressure squarely on it. Avoid entering the seal into its housing in the tilted position . Under no circumstances use a drift and hammer to fit a seal, as the irregular impact will loosen the rolled edge and release the pressure of the inner member on the sealing element and thereby cause seepage round the sealing lip.

c. When the seal and housing are fitted into position, ensure that the wiping edge is not damaged in any way or the housing allowed to rest in an incomplete stage of assembly where its weight is taken by the seal, this can cause either damage and/or distortion and result in leakage.

Remember the service life of an oil seal is largely determined by the treatment it receives during fit­ment.

Air Pressure Bral<e System

Prior to carrying out any work on the air pressure brake system it is recommended that the following practises are observed to ensure effective operation of the system and avoid the risk of premature failure.

1. Always wash valves and other components with a suitable cleaning solvent and blow dry with dry compressed air before removing from the vehicle.

2. Charge the system to the normal operating pressure before carrying out leakage tests.

3. To prevent the twisting of pipes, always use two spanner when disconnecting or con­necting pipe unions.

4. Never attempt to remove any component in the air pressure system without first draining the air storage reservoirs, by carefully opening the drain taps.

5. Never neglect any signs of air leakage of a unit.

6. Never allow unqualified personnel to interfere with any brake component.

7. Unless absolutely necessary never interfere with the adjuster screws on any of the valves. The pressure setting is adjusted before the vehicle leaves the factory and should not normally require attention between unit over­hauls.

8. P.T.F.E. tape must never be used to seal tapered threads. It is. recommended that Ragosine Ramus HMP8 grease is used, as manufactured by the Ragosine Oil Company, London.

SECTION 5.

LUBRICANTS AND FLUIDS

Introductory Notes

Lubrication, as it directly concerns maintenance personnel, is the maintenance of lubricants of the correct grade and quality between all bearing sur­faces. All such surfaces are designed for operation with a lubricant of definite properties and are enclosed, sealed or otherwise protected to retain a supply of that lubricant for a reasonable time.

Lack of lubricant causes overheating and the rapid wear and deterioration of bearing surfaces. Alter­natively, excessive lubrication will expand or distort the seals intended to retain it, thus allowing the lubricant to escape. In certain cases the overfilling of such assemblies as gearboxes, axles, etc., will cause overheating and subsequent damage due to the excessive 'churning' of the lubricant contained within the assembly.

Never Mix Lubricating Oils

If this rule has to be broken in an emergency every effort must be made to adhere to the following main guiding points :

1. If unable to obtain a fully detergent engine oil , it will not do any harm to return to base on a similar SAE viscosity Premium Oil of a reputable make. In such cases, however, the engine should be drained and the oil filters elements changed at base at the first opportunity and the unit refilled with oil to the correct specification.

2. The makes of oil given in the following tables applicable to gearboxes and axles are almost self-explanatory as regards the various grades required .

Never put a hypoid oil into a unit which does not call for hypoid lubricants. Rear axles stipulating a hypoid 90 or 140 gear oil must have this type of oil put in to enable them to function correctly.

Under no circumstances should oils be used other than those recommended by Atkinson Vehicles Limited without the running unit manufacturers approval.

Date :. January, 1969

Always use clean containers when topping-up or refilling the various units, as the contamination of the oil by grit or other foreign matter may produce disastrous results.

If a water or coolant leaks into the engine lubri­cation system is suspected, the oil should be checked immediately and, if contamination has occured, it should be drained, the oil filter element(s) changed and the sump replenished with new oil to the correct specification.

All filler caps, plugs and lubricators should be cleaned before and after attention .

If units require an excessive amount of oil or if leaks from seals or joints are noted they should be reported and action taken at the earliest opportunity.

Units should be drained while the oil is warm and free flowing.

Grease packed assemblies should be cleaned and repacked at vehicle overhaul or alternatively at periods which can be determined by local operating experience or by perodic inspection of representive units.

Some assemblies, such as brake valves, are usually dismantled for lubrication at vehicle overhaul. These parts will require more frequent attention if the vehicle operates under exceptionally arduous con­ditions.

Engine Lubricants

The engines of all chassis leaving the works of Atkinson Vehicles Limited are filled with a Detergent Engine Oil which meets the current U.S. Army Ord­nance Specification M I L- L-21 048.

The table on Page 3 of this Section lists some suitable oils but there are many others which are not included. Where one oil is listed this is to Specifi­cation MIL-M-21048 but where alternative oils are shown the first named is to Specification M I L- M -21048.

Under particularly arduous operating conditions it may be found advantageous to use a Series II or III Detergent Oil. Operators are advised to consult their oil suppliers for their recommendations under such conditions.

For more detailed information on the subject of engine lubrication, operators are advised to refer to the appropriate engine manufacturers publication .

Gearbox Lubricants

The types of oil vary widely, ranging from a type , C-2 fluid' in Allison Automatic Transmissions to SAE 140 in A.E,C. gearboxes.

Some suitable makes and grades of oil applicable to the various types of gearboxes installed in Atkinson Vehicles are listed on Page 4 of this Section.

Care must be taken to use the exact type and viscosity of oil appl icable to the make and type of gearbox concerned.

Rear Axle Lubricants

Here again, the types of oil can vary widely. Some makers produce a Universal oil but where this is not used, care must be taken to use the exact type and viscosity of oil applicable to the make and type of axle concerned.

Some suitable makes and grades of oil applicable to the various types of rear axles fitted to Atkinson chassis are listed on Page 5 of this Section.

Wheel Hubs and Universal Joint Lubricants

In some cases grease lubrication is used and in others gear oils. Details together with some of the suitable makes and grades of lubricants are shown on Page 6 of this Section .

Miscellaneous Lubricants

There are many other miscellaneous grades of lubricant for various parts of the chassis and these are detailed on Page 7 of this Section together with some of the makes and grades of oil which are suitable.

Engine Coolants

To avoid any serious damage to an engine which can be caused as a result of corrosion in the cooling system, the system should be treated as fully des­cribed in the Service Manual relating to the particular engine concerned .

Anti-Freeze Fluids

1. The use of anti-freeze in cooling systems is recommended if the atmospheric temperature is likely to fall to O°C (32 OF) or less

2. Full protection against both frost and corrosion can be achieved by the addition of an ethylene glycol (ethanediol) anti-freeze which conforms with British Standard 3 150, 3 151, or 3 152 of 1959. Lower alcohols having a boiling point less than 100 °C (212 OF) are not recommended.

As all brands of anti-freeze conforming to the fore­going British Standards contain a corrosion inhibitor they not only prevent freezing but also reduce internal corrosion.

If an anti-freeze to the above specification is used throughout the year it is desireable to drain and flush the system every six months and refill with the correct solution. In this way internal corrosion will be largely prevented.

3. If an anti-freeze to the foregoing specifications is not used throughout the year it is highly recommended that an effective corrosion in­hibitor is introduced into the cooling system. By this means internal corrosion of water jackets, heat exchangers and radiators, etc., is greatly reduced .

Every six months the cooling system should be drained, flushed out with clean water and refilled with a new solution of water and corrosion inhibitor.

Corrosion inhibitors of differing formula­tions should not be mixed.

Always 'top-up' with a mixture of the same for­mulation as the coolant already in the system.

Special Requirements for Cummins Engines

Only

All Cummins engines installed in current pro­duction chassis are fitted with a corrosion resister. This is a unit which by-passes a small amount of coolant from the system through a filtering and treating device. It softens water, neutralises acidity and protects against cor­rosion by the use of a service replaceable chemically activated filtering element. An ethylene glycol anti-freeze can be used with a Cummins corrosion resister and full instruc­tions for changing the element are contained in the Cummins Service Manual.

Fluid Recommendation for Air Pressure

System Anti-Freezers

When Atkinson chassis are operated in atmos­pheric temperatures below O°C (32 OF) it is recom­mended that a volatile anti-freeze fluid is used in the air pressure system anti-freezer. This will prevent the operation of the system being affected by frozen atmospheric moisture.

The recommended fluid is methanol (methy alcohol) but if this is not available, ethanol (ethyl alcohol) or industrial methylated spirits may be used The initial water content of any fluid used must not exceed 1 %. Suitable fluids are usually referred to by their alcoholic strength of 74 Over Rroof (British System) or 198 Proof (American System) .

Caution: Non-volatile anti~freeze fluids such as ethylene glycol (ethanediol) must not be used in the anti-freezer unit of an air pressure system.
