IMPORTANT SAFETY NOTICE

IT IS YOUR RESPONSIBILITY to be completely familiar with the Warnings and Cau-


tions described in this Service Manual. These Warnings and Cautions advise against the
use of specific service methods that can result in personal injury, damage to the equip-
ment, or cause the equipment to become unsafe. It is, however, important to understand
that these Warnings and Cautions are not exhaustive. Allison Transmission could not
possibly know, evaluate, and advise the service trade of all conceivable ways in which
service might be done or of the possible hazardous consequences of each way. Conse-
quently, Allison Transmission has not undertaken any such broad evaluation. Accord-
ingly, ANYONE WHO USES A SERVICE PROCEDURE OR TOOL WHICH IS NOT
RECOMMENDED BY ALLISON TRANSMISSION MUST first be thoroughly satisfied
that neither personal safety nor equipment safety will be jeopardized by the service
methods selected.
Proper service and repair are important to the safe, reliable operation of the equipment.
The service procedures recommended by Allison Transmission and described in this Ser-
vice Manual are effective methods for performing service operations. Some of these ser-
vice operations require the use of tools specifically designed for the purpose. The special
tools should be used when and as recommended.

WARNINGS, CAUTIONS, AND NOTES


Three types of headings are used in this manual to attract your attention:

WARNING!
is used when an operating procedure, practice,
etc., which, if not correctly followed, could result
in personal injury or loss of life.

CAUTION:
is used when an operating procedure, practice,
etc., which, if not strictly observed, could result
in damage to or destruction of equipment.

NOTE:
is used when an operating procedure, practice, etc.,
is essential to highlight.

LIST OF WARNINGS
This manual contains the following Warnings —

IT IS YOUR RESPONSIBILITY TO BE FAMILIAR WITH ALL OF THEM.

If you leave the vehicle and the engine is running, the vehicle can move suddenly and you
or others could be injured. If you must leave the engine running, do not leave the vehicle
until you:
• Put the transmission in N (Neutral)…and
• Apply the parking brake and emergency brakes and make sure they are properly
engaged…and
• Chock the wheels and take any other steps necessary to keep the vehicle from moving.
Avoid contact with the hot fluid or the hot sump when draining transmission fluid. Direct
contact with the hot fluid or the hot sump may result in bodily injury.
DO NOT conduct a converter stall test until the following actions are taken. The parking
brake and/or emergency brakes must be set and properly engaged and the wheels must be
chocked. Warn personnel to keep clear of the vehicle and its travel path. Failure to do so
can cause serious injury.
Use appropriate safety equipment such as safety glasses, safety shoes, and gloves.
Do not burn discarded Teflon® seals; toxic gases are produced by burning Teflon®.
Never dry bearings by spinning them with compressed air. A spinning bearing can
disintegrate, allowing balls or rollers to become lethal flying projectiles. Also, spinning a
bearing without lubrication can damage the bearing.
DO NOT disconnect the hydraulic fluid line between the accumulator and the retarder
until air and hydraulic pressure have been bled from the retarder.
PREVENT PERSONAL INJURY: Use proper tools and lifting equipment when installing
or removing a transmission from the repair stand. Transmission dry weights are as
follows:
• 4000 and 4500 Models
Base transmission —377 kg (831 lbs)
With PTO provision —405 kg (893 lbs)
With retarder —411 kg (906 lbs)
With retarder and PTO provision —439 kg (968 lbs)
• 4700 and 4800 Models
Base transmission —493 kg (1087 lbs)
With PTO provision —521 kg (1149 lbs)
With retarder —529 kg (1162 lbs)
With retarder and PTO provision —555 kg (1224 lbs)
With retarder, PTO, and integral —496 kg (1032 lbs)
