This is a simple closed loop circuit showing one half of the entire machine’s closed loop
system. The Rexroth tandem piston pump shares one common charge pump between
the left and right systems. This system utilizes an electro proportional servo controlled
swash plate, variable piston pump, and variable bent axis piston motors.
5
Crawler Dozer Drivetrain
High pressure oil is also used to minimize wear in the rotating group, as well as drive
the motors. To prevent the slippers on the pistons from wearing out too rapidly as they
rotate, there is a small hole drilled through the piston and slipper to allow oil to
constantly form a cushion between the slipper and swash plate. The same pressure the
piston sees while pumping will be passed through the drilled hole to provide a column of
oil for the piston to ride upon. A smaller area of the slipper is pressurized than the area
of the piston. This difference in area will keep the slipper held against the swash plate.
The head of the slipper seals this pressurized oil to the swash plate.
With the high pressures required to drive the machines, some of the closed loop oil will
leak into the case drain of the components. This lost oil must be re-supplied to keep the
system working. A fixed displacement charge pump is used to make up for this loss.
The charge pump supplies cooled and filtered oil from the reservoir, under a relatively
low pressure (350 – 500 psi) to the closed loop, keeping the system charged and supply
fluid to operate the control system.
In order for the low pressure charge oil to get into the closed loop, a check valve is
placed between the charge oil supply and each side of the closed loop. As the unit
drives, one side of the closed loop will increase in pressure. This increase in pressure
would increase the leakage from the loop and, the oil returning from the motor to the
pump would not be adequate to compensate for the excess leakage.
The pressure on the return side of the loop would be maintained at charge pressure
because the check valve allows flow from the charge pump circuit. The check valve on
the drive side of the circuit would be held closed by the high pressure on that side of the
loop. When the direction of travel is reversed, charge flow would then enter the loop on
the opposite side.
If the machine were to become disabled, the drive sprockets would lock because they
are directly coupled to the hydrostatic drive system through the final drives. A pair of
bypass (tow) valves in each pump will allow the machine to be moved for service, once
the brakes are released. The bypass valve separates the forward and reverse side of
the closed loop. When the valves are opened approximately three turns, the loop oil
can bypass the pump and the machine can be moved. Use caution when the bypass
valves are opened to prevent the machine from moving out of control. With the bypass
valves are open; do not move the machine more than 1 mph or more than 100 feet.

Each hydrostatic pump is a piston pump design that allows for the variable
displacement of oil. The amount of oil flow from the pump to the drive motor controls the
speed of the vehicle in the forward and reverse directions.
As the amount of oil being pumped increases so does the vehicle speed. As one might
expect as the amount of oil being pumped decreases the vehicle speed decreases and
the amount of torque or pulling power the vehicle has increases. The swash plate is
controlled by the operator electronically and changes the angle of the rotating piston
group. As the angle of the swash plate gets larger the amount of oil pumped increases.
As the swash plate goes to a neutral position, the flow of oil stops and the vehicle
comes to rest. The direction of the swash plate is what controls the directional flow of
oil. Therefore, the pump always turns the same direction but the swash plate angles
determine which way the flow available to do work travels.
The piston motors then receives oil from the pump, which causes a piston group to
rotate. The motors are used to power the final drives. The variable motor also has a
swash plate which can change angle to increase or decrease speed. With variable
pumps and motors the operator can select an appropriate speed for operation. Oil
leaving the motors goes directly back to the pump and the cycle starts again.

Not all of the original oil returns to the hydrostatic pump. Some of the oil is lost to the
reservoir through internal leakage of the pumps and motors. This oil is then picked up
by the equipment hydraulic pump, cooled, filtered, and put back into the closed loop via
the charge pump. The oil that leaks from the pump and motors is not enough to keep
the closed loop oil cool; therefore, a cooling shuttle valve is incorporated into the motor
to direct some additional oil back to the reservoir. If the system continued to operate
without a charge pump it would only operate for a few cycles before pump cavitation
and failure would occur. For that reason a charge pump supplies cool and filtered oil to
replenish oil lost from the internal leakage of the pump and motors as well as the oil that
is drained off from the cooling shuttle valve. The charge pump also provides oil to
release the parking brake.

Functionality
The variable displacement hydrostatic pump and the charge pump are driven by the
diesel engine.
The charge pump pumps oil through the charge filter. If the charge filter cartridge is
excessively dirty, the charge filter restriction indicator will alert you of this problem. The
Normally Open (NO) pressure switch closes at 36-44 psi to ground the light in the
instrument cluster and tell the operator that the filter is plugged. If back pressure is too
high in front of a dirty charge filter cartridge (50 psi differential pressure from the inlet to
the outlet), the charge circuit bypass valve opens and directs part of the charge oil back
to the inlet side of the charge pump after going through the charge circuit strainer.
The charge pressure is limited by two charge pressure relief valves, 1 in each pump
assembly, and can be checked at the test port located on the test panel. Charge
pressure oil is directed to the appropriate low pressure side of the variable displacement
pump (dependent upon travel direction) by way of the check/replenishing valves. The
check/replenishing valves are integrated into the high pressure circuit relief valves.
Charge oil compensates for leakage in our closed loop system.
The charge pump generates a variable flow dependent upon the speed of the engine.
The faster the engine speed, the higher the charge pump flow. The charge flow is
directed to the Electro-Proportional Valve (EP Valve). The EP Valve is controlled by the
Pulse Width Modulated (PWM) Solenoid valves. The PWM solenoids receive a varying
voltage signal from the Drive Train Controller (DTC) to shift the EP valve spool. The EP
valve spool diverts the charge pressure to the desired side of the servo cylinder. The
servo cylinder then creates the angular movement of the swash plate.
The EP Valve is spring centered to its neutral position. While in neutral oil from both
sides of the servo cylinder has a path to tank through the case drain line of the pump.
When forward movement is requested by the operator the joystick sends a signal to the
DTC stating which direction the operator would like to travel and at what speed. Based
upon this input from the operator the DTC controller sends a signal to the appropriate
PWM solenoid. The solenoid shifts the EP valve spool and charge pressure is diverted
to the appropriate side of the servo piston.

The DTC controller receives a motor shaft speed signal from the Hall Effect sensors in
each motor. With the motor speed information, the DTC can then compensate for
mistracking by de-rating the appropriate solenoid. The EP valve then shifts as
necessary to maintain the desired speed. When the machine is traveling, high pressure
oil is pumped to the hydraulic motors by the travel pumps. In the event the oil pressure
exceeds approximately 6500 PSI in the travel circuit, the related circuit relief valve
opens to dump the excess drive pressure into the charge circuit. The service manual
states the circuit reliefs are set at 6000 to 6100 psi (depending on the size of the
machine), which is correct for a bench setting. But when they are installed in the hydro
system, charge pressure (350-500psi) is added to the spring setting to bring the drive
pressure to 6350 to 6600 psi (depending on the size of the machine) in the forward and
reverse directions.
The pump and motor swatch plate angles have ten preset positions. These positions
are controlled by the DTC controller and EP valves and toggled between by the
operator with bump up and bump down buttons located on the joystick. By toggling
between these preset positions the speed of the vehicle is changed in the pump up to
the 60 % preset position (startup default speed) on the instrument cluster. Once the
operator commands more than 60%, the DTC then starts to destroke the motors
accordingly.
From 70 % to 100 % preset positions, the motor EP valves control the motor swash
plate by allowing a certain amount of drive side high pressure oil to energize the
appropriate side of the adjusting cylinder. The adjusting cylinder will either retract or
extend based upon how the EP valve is set. The swash plate angle is increased or
decreased by retracting and extending the adjusting cylinder. As the angle increases,
speed decreases, and torque increases. As the angle decreases, speed increases, and
torque decreases. The motor swash plate is defaulted to the full swash position and
requires a voltage signal to the motor EP valve to decrease the swash and increase
machine speed.
11
Crawler Dozer Drivetrain
A cooling shuttle spool is also integrated into the motor housing. The spool reacts to
drive side high pressure oil and allows return side low pressure (charge pressure) hot oil
to exit the motor and return to the hydraulic reservoir.
Direction and speed are both controlled by a joystick located in the left hand console. As
the joystick is moved forward the machine begins forward movement. Once out of the
neutral position, track speed is controlled by the amount of movement of the joystick
and the bump up and bump down buttons located on the joystick. These buttons
change the speed by a predetermined amount and display the selected speed on the
dash. There are 10 preset operating positions that the operator can bump up and down
between. The speed defaults to the 60 % position of 3 MPH every time the engine is
started. Holding the bump up and bump down buttons for a continuous time will
continue to shift up or down through the preset operating speeds. This same process
also holds true for the reverse direction.
For greater working efficiency the speed of reverse is variable based upon maximum
speed in the forward direction. The maximum reverse speed can be 80%, 100%, 115%,
or 130% of the maximum forward speed. The forward to reverse ratio is controlled by
the forward speed set by the bump up and bump down buttons as well as the setting
selected on the reverse ratio speed knob.
Steering is also commanded by the joystick located in the left hand console. When the
operator commands turning (must be in forward or reverse to turn) the inside track
decreases in speed and the outside track remains at the same speed (Pivot Turn).
Counter rotation is possible when a pivot turn is not adequate (NOTE: Joystick lever
must be in the forward or reverse direction). When the operator moves the joystick past
the pivot turn position, counter rotation will take place. The inside track shall begin to
move in the reverse direction of the outside track. As the joystick is stroked against its
stop the tracks will be driven at commanded speed for the forward or reverse direction
with both tracks being driven in opposite directions.

Orifices are installed on the inlet/outlet port of each side of the servo piston. These
orifices are installed in order to control the machines rate of stroke on the pump. These
orifices are drilled to 1/16 of an inch from the factory. A plugged orifice or an incorrect
sized orifice will cause mistracking momentarily when the machine is shifted from
neutral forward, neutral to reverse, and forward to reverse. A momentary mistrack is
then followed by straight tracking. Incorrectly sized orifices can also cause symptoms of
one track is lazy or slow reacting compared to another.

Crawler Dozer Drivetrain
Park Brakes
The park brake assemblies are located at the top of each final drive assembly. The park
brakes are spring applied and hydraulically released. With no hydraulic pressure, the
spring force clamps 3 friction and 4 separator plates together. When this clutch pack is
locked up, the internal spline acts against a gear on the input shaft, which acts as the
brake. The park brake pack is subject to wear and should be inspected periodically.
When the friction plates have worn to 0.1 mm (0.004 inches), the frictions should be
replaced.
Hydrostatic Charge Pressure is diverted to each park brake assembly via the ON/OFF
brake solenoid valve located on the front side of the fuel tank. When the park brakes are
commanded to be released, 12 or 24 volts (depending on the size of the machine) and
a ground are supplied to the park brake solenoid. The solenoid opens to divert charge
pressure to both park brake assemblies.
The command to release the park brakes comes from the Drive Train Controller (DTC)
when the following 3 conditions are met:
1) Both safety levers need to be in the down position,
2) The engine rpm needs to increase off of low idle,
3) The joystick lever needs to be moved from the neutral position.
The park brakes (2) are controlled by the brake solenoid valve assembly (1) shown
below.

4. Check for fluid coming out of the final drive drain, if no fluid is present install the
drain plug and torque to 43 46 Nm (32 34 lb ft).
NOTE: If fluid is leaking out of the final drive drain plug the brake piston should be
inspected for damage and the brake O-rings must be replaced.
5. Fill the final drive with the authorized lubricant. Reinstall the fill/check plug and
torque to 43 46 Nm (32 34 lb ft).

Service Brakes
There are no service brakes on the Crawlers. The braking is controlled by the brake
pedal or inching pedal and works in conjunction with the DTC controller to slow down
the hydrostatic drive system. During normal operation, as the brake pedal is depressed
the controller sends a signal to the forward or reverse electro-proportional valve and
decreases the amount of charge pressure acting upon the servo piston. This then starts
to destroke the hydrostatic pump. As the brake pedal reaches the bottom of travel, the
hydrostatic pump is completely destroked. At the same time, the park brake solenoid
valve is de-energized to supply a path to tank for the brake release oil. The park brakes
are then spring applied.
The brake pedal stops need to be adjusted periodically. See the Pedals and Linkages
section. The brake pedal potentiometer needs to be calibrated periodically to ensure the
park brakes are engaged at the proper time. See the Hydrostatic section.
The park brakes (2) are controlled by the brake solenoid valve assembly (1) shown
below.

Final Drives
650-850 Dozers
The final drives are directly coupled to the hydrostatic piston motors and have a final
gear reduction of (62.4:1). Below is a cut away drawing of the final drive. The final
drive has a maximum input speed of 5700 RPM, because of this it is necessary to have
the final drive filled with oil prior to operation.
NOTE: Take care when removing the brake cover. It is under tension created by the
spring washers. When installing and reinstalling remove the brake cover evenly to
prevent the brake cover from cracking due to an uneven load.

a. Remove the retaining nut on the brake solenoid valve coil and leave
connector V24 connected to the coil. Remove the coil from the shaft and
lay it away from the brake valve. Failure to perform this will log a fault and
disable the drivetrain.
b. Disconnect the V25 Connector at the brake pressure switch located on the
brake valve and jumper the two terminals on the harness side.

3. Using the chart on the next page; record the pressure readings. In neutral, run
the engine at low idle (800-1050 rpm); record the charge pressure at (1.)
4. Increase the throttle to high idle and record the charge pressure at (2.)
NOTE: For the remaining steps, it is necessary to operate only 1 track (left or right) and
only 1 direction (forward or reverse). To obtain a 1 track and 1 direction operation,
locate the left and right points on the FNR joystick, where the resistance to move the
control lever increases significantly. This point is the end of operating only 1 track and
the beginning of counter-rotation. This point is the correct position for each of the below
steps.
CAUTION: Do NOT lug the engine during this test. Lugging the engine down may result
in brake failure and inaccurate charge pressure readings.
5. Set the engine rpm to High Idle and record the pressure at (3.)
6. Press and hold the brake pedal to the floor. With the FNR joystick in neutral, pull
the joystick to the right to locate the point just before right counter-rotation, and
push the joystick forward. Slowly release the brake pedal to engage the forward
left track drive (the park brake light turns off at this time) and monitor the charge
pressure gauge for a drop in pressure. As soon as the pressure drops, record the
lowest pressure reading at (4) followed by pressing and holding the brake pedal
to the floor.
7. Repeat step 7 for the right reverse position and record the pressure at (5.).

The lower charge pressure indicates internal leakage from the system with the system
under load. This is caused by less oil flowing over the charge relief and thereby the
lower pressure. Excessive leakage will result in slower drive speed, or jerky drive on
that side of the machine, but depending on what is damaged in the system, the leakage
may only show up under heavy load conditions.
How do you determine if a pump or a motor is at fault? By capping off one drive motor
at a time you can isolate whether the leakage is in the pump or the motor by retesting
each direction. If one component fails, the debris will be sent directly to the mating
component and cause damage. As this damage progresses, contamination will return
to the reservoir through the case drain system. At the very least once a failure has
occurred, the mating component in the hydrostatic system must be inspected for
damage. If any contamination has been returned to the reservoir, tear down and
inspection of both complete closed loop systems is necessary since the same charge
pump feeds them. Also, because the hydraulic system shares the reservoir with the
hydrostatic system, all lines, and components must be thoroughly cleaned to prevent
contamination from reentering the repaired system.

NOTE: Make sure the hydraulic and hydrostatic oil is at operating temperature.
1. To test the hydrostatic pump relief valves, the drive sprockets must be locked in
position. To properly lock the drive sprockets, while rotating in the forward
direction, a pin must be inserted in the sprocket teeth, at the top of the track
frame, and a stop bracket must be provided to prevent the locking pin from

The machine is equipped with SAHR (spring applied hydraulically released) parking
brakes. Hydraulic pressure must release the brakes. If the engine will not run, you must
use a hand pump to release the brakes to prevent further damage to the machine.
1. Connect a vacuum pump (if available to the hydraulic Reservoir and hold a
vacuum to keep from loosing fluid.
81
Crawler Dozer Drivetrain
4. Connect a hand pump (with the capacity to reach and maintain 2275kPa, 22.7
bar, 330 ± 20 psi) to the hose that goes to the brakes.
To Brakes
5. Operate the pump until the correct pressure is reached and the brakes are now
released.
IMPORTANT: Check and maintain 2275 kPa, 22.7 bar, 330 ± 20 psi maximum in the
brake line when moving the machine. Damage to the brake system can result if the
pressure is reduced.
6. Remove tools and equipment from the service area and slowly lower the cab to
the operating position.
7. The machine is now ready to be moved.
8. After moving the machine, raise the cab back up all the way to over center by
making sure the retaining cable is fully extended.
9. Disconnect the hand pump.
10. Remove the plug and reconnect the line to the brake solenoid.
11. Remove the vacuum pump, if used.
12. Tighten the drive circuit relief valve engagement screws back in three turns.
Note: it will be necessary to perform a drive pressure test to ensure the drive circuit
relief valves are set to specification.

Verify the actual hydraulic system oil temperature by measuring the oil temperature
directly with a thermocouple, or measuring the hydraulic tank temperature at the
temperature sender using an infrared thermometer. If the temperature is reading more
than 38 degrees C (100 degrees F) above the ambient temperature, check for the
following problems:
Dirty Transmission Cooler: The radiator must be clean to maximize heat transfer from
the radiator to the cooling air. This is extremely important. Clean the transmission cooler
with a high pressure washer as needed. In some cases, because the cooling fins are
very close together, it may be necessary to soak and boil the debris from the finned
area. To verify the cleanliness, place a trouble light behind the cooler and look for the
light from the front side of the cooler. The light should be easily visible through the entire
cooler.
Fan Belt:
• The fan belt must be tensioned properly to maximize the airflow through the
radiator fan. Inspect the fan belt for wear, and the belt tensioner for proper
operation. Repair or replace the belt and / or the tensioner, as needed. Also, if
equipped with a reversible fan (ROPS canopy equipped machines only), verify
that all blades are positioned correctly for pusher or suction intent.
• On Case 650K and 750K Series 2 and 3 crawlers, and New Holland DC75,
DC85, D75, and D85 crawlers, replace the existing fan belt and fan drive pulley
with fan belt (part number 87564117) and pulley (part number 2853010) from the
Case 850K Series 2 and 3, and the New Holland DC95 and D95.
• On Case 650K and 750K Series 1 crawlers, replace the existing fan belt and fan
drive pulley with fan belt (part number J911559) and pulley (part number
J914462) from the Case 850K Series 1. This increases the fan speed and moves
more air through the oil cooler and the engine radiator.
Improper Machine Operation: Do not operate the machine at high speed settings and
partial throttle. The oil flow through the transmission cooler is controlled by the speed of
the equipment pump. To maximize the oil flow , the engine must be operated at wide-
open-throttle, with the speed controlled by the bump-up and bump-down switches on
the left hand joystick controller.
83
Crawler Dozer Drivetrain
Thermo Bypass Failure: The thermo bypass valve must operate correctly to maximize
the oil flow through the oil cooler. First, verify that the valve is installed properly. The
inlet port (with the hose from the blade control valve) must face up, the tank port must
face to the rear of the machine, and the cooler port must face toward the front of the
machine. Second, inspect the thermo bypass valve per Section 8009 of the Series 1
Service Manual, or Section A in the Series 2 Service Manual, to determine if the valve is
operating correctly. The valve starts sending oil to the oil cooler at 49 degrees C (120
degrees F), and is completely open at 63 degrees C (145 degrees F). At oil
temperatures above 63 degrees C (145 degrees F), all of the oil should be flowing
through the oil cooler.
(A quick method to determine if the thermo bypass is operating correctly is to check the
temperature of the hydraulic tank at the temperature sender, the temperature of the oil
cooler inlet, and the temperature of the oil cooler outlet. The oil tank and cooler inlet
temperatures should be within 5 degrees C, or 9 degrees F, of each other. Also, the
temperature drop from the oil cooler inlet to the outlet should be no more than 8
degrees C, or 15 degrees F. If the differences are greater than specified, the thermo
bypass is not flowing all of the oil to the cooler.) If it is not, remove the thermo bypass
valve, and, replace it with the 200 psi check tee used on the 1150K and 1650L/D150B.
Use the following parts:
The two ORFS reducing adapters (part number 201-147) are used to connect the hose
from the control valve and the hose to the cooler to the bypass tee. The ORFS tee (part
number 201-418) connects the return hose from the cooler and the hose to the filter to
the bypass tee. The bypass valve is installed so that the flow direction arrow on the tee
points toward the tank. The mounting bracket (part number 87585367) bolts to the same
holes that currently mount the thermo bypass.
84
Drivetrain Crawler Dozer
Incorrectly Set Hydrostatic Pump Reliefs: Test the hydrostatic pump relief valves per
Section 6002 in the Series 1 Service Manual, or Section C in the Series 2 Service
Manual. The tracks must be stalled, and the pressure must be 448 bar (6500 psi). If the
pressure is not correct, remove the plastic cap from the valve, loosen the jam nut, and
turn the adjusting screw in to increase the pressure, or out to decrease the pressure.
Then retighten the jam nut. If the valve cannot be adjusted, replace the entire valve
cartridge.
Blade Hydraulic System Issues: Ensure that none of the blade hydraulic system
components are contributing to excessive heat build-up.
1. Test the equipment pump flow rate. It must be 76.8 L/min (20.3 gpm) at 207 bar
(3000 psi) at 2000 rpm. If the flow rate is low, replace the pump to ensure
maximum oil flow through the cooler.
2. Test the neutral system pressure at the 'Pump Pressure' test port. It must be 12
to 15 bar (180 to 220 psi) at 2000 rpm. If the pressure is higher, check all of the
components downstream of the hydraulic valve inlet section for restriction,
including the pressure relief valve, hoses, thermo bypass valve, cooler, and the
filter and filter head.
3. Check all of the cylinders for hot spots. If one cylinder is noticeably hotter than
the others, disassemble the cylinder and check the seal for leakage.
Hydraulic Oil Type: If the hydraulic / hydrostatic system is filled with MAT 3505 Case
MS-1209 Hy-Tran Ultra or New Holland Mastertran, replace it with MAT 3509 Case
Hydraulic Excavator Fluid or New Holland Hydrosystem 46 HV, or MAT 3508 Case
AW68, or New Holland Hydrosystem 68 hydraulic oil. All of these oils provide improved
high-temperature viscosity characteristics and lower the overall operating temperatures
(see Case Service Bulletin NCR SB 001 09, or New Holland Service Bulletin 0109-
CE9).
85
Crawler Dozer Drivetrain
Optional Add-on Oil Cooler: If all of the previously noted steps have been performed,
and the hydraulic / hydrostatic system continues to overheat, there is an optional add-on
oil cooler kit available to improve system cooling. Contact your Product Support
Manager (PSM) to discuss the availability of this kit. Fill out the attached 'Hydraulic /
Hydrostatic Overheat Checklist', and either attach it to an ASIST concern, or fax it to
Technical Support at 262-636-5043, for review by Technical Support. After review,
information on the cooler kit will be supplied via the ASIST concern.

The speed buttons are momentary switches, so the EST should change between ‘OFF’
and ‘ON’ while the switches are held. The forward/reverse signals and the left/right
signals are variable from internal potentiometers, so the EST should vary from 0 to 125
in full forward, 0 to -125 in full reverse, 0 to -125 in full left, and 0 to 125 in full right.
During left and right, the point in the joystick where handle movement effort begins to
increase should be roughly at -100 for the left and roughly 100 for the right. If the
joystick does not pass the potentiometer checks, replace the joystick controller. If the
joystick does not pass the bump up or bump down checks, repair or replace the
switches in the handle.
1. Key ON the machine with the joystick in Neutral. The Instrument panel needle
should default to 60% on the display. The digital area should display ‘N’ for
Neutral in the lower left side. If this is not correct, troubleshoot the reoccurring
error codes and see step 11.
2. Press the bump up shift button. With every press of the button the display needle
should increase by 10% up to the maximum speed selected in the ‘Settings’
menu. If this is not correct, troubleshoot the reoccurring error codes and see step
12.
3. Press the bump down shift button. With every press of the button the display
needle should decrease by 10% down to the minimum speed of 10%.If this is not
correct, troubleshoot the reoccurring error codes and see step 12.
4. Shift the joystick to Forward. The digital area should display a flashing ‘F’ for
requested Forward. If this is not correct, troubleshoot the reoccurring error codes
and see step 13.
5. Shift the joystick to Reverse. The digital area should display a flashing ‘R’ for
requested Reverse. If this is not correct, troubleshoot the reoccurring error codes
and see step 13.
6. If steps 1-5 changed the display properly and there are no errors codes in the
machine, drive the machine to verify that it turns properly per steps 7-10. If the
joystick failed any of steps 1-5, see the designated step.
87
Crawler Dozer Drivetrain
7. In forward as the joystick is slowly pushed to the left, the inboard (left) track
should slow down and the outboard (right) track should continue to turn forward.
As the joystick reaches a point of increasing handle movement effort, the inboard
(left) track should be stopped and the outboard (right) track should continue to
drive forward. As the joystick is pushed further to the left, the inboard (left) track
should start to turn in reverse and the outboard (right) track should continue to
turn forward for counter-rotation.
8. Perform step 7 for Forward and pulling the joystick to the right. The inboard track
is now right and the outboard track is now left.
9. Perform step 7 for Reverse and pushing the joystick to the left. The inboard track
is now left, the outboard track is now right, and forward and reverse are
swapped.
10. Perform step 7 for Reverse and pulling the joystick to the right. The inboard track
is now right, the outboard track is now left, and forward and reverse are
swapped.
11. Verify the joystick has keyed battery power to pins 1 and 5, ground to pin 2, 1.5-
2.5 volts to pin 3, and 2.5-3.5 volts to pin 4. If these readings are correct, replace
the joystick.
12. If the bump up and/or the bump down switch(s) do not change the display, repair
or replace the switch(s).
13. If the potentiometers do not change the display correctly or the machine does not
drive correctly in forward, reverse, left, right, or counter rotation and there are no
error codes, replace the joystick controller.
