Axle lock RT AXLE LOCKOUT SYSTEM
The Axle lockout system is used to allow the rear axle to
oscillate up and down to stabilize the crane during on tire pick The axle lockout system should be bled and filled and carry operations. The rear axle is equipped with a cylinder whenever oil seepage, dirt or oil is detected at the on each side that has oil on the piston side and the rod side is breather plug or on the rod. open to atmosphere. As one piston is moved up by a bump or Air in the axle lockout system decreases stability. uneven ground, the oil on the piston side moves over to the Bleed and fill the system IMMEDIATELY whenever other pistons piston side and pushes down on that piston. The this condition occurs. air from the rod side goes in and out through an air breather port on the side of the cylinder. This system allows the axle to oscillate when the boom is not moved more than 10 degrees from the travel position. If the axle does not hold in the blocked position or oscillates when the upper structure is swung 20 degrees from the travel position, bleed the system. The system only oscillates inside this 20 degree position to prevent oscillation when boom is over side, causing possible tip over. With the cam plunger fully retracted, adjust valve position for .005-.010 inches gap between the cam roller and the cam travel area on the manifold. Do not measure at the low point on the manifold.

ADJUSTMENT With the cam plunger fully retracted, adjust valve position for .005-.010 inches gap between the cam roller and the cam travel area on the manifold. Do not measure at the low point on the manifold.
Tighten and secure with nuts, washers, and cap screws.
OPERATION CHECK For safe operation of the crane when operating on rubber, the axle lockout valve should be checked daily as follows:
1. Place boom in travel position.
2. Drive one tire of the rear (oscillating) axle up on an eight inch block. 3. Swing the retracted unloaded boom approximately 20 degrees from the center position. 4. Drive the crane off the block. If the tire remains in the up position proceed with step (5). If the tire does not remain in the up position readjust or replace lockout valve. 5. Allow crane to set for three to five minutes. 6. Observe the tire, it should remain in the up position. 7. Swing the crane back to the center position, the tire should return to its original position. If not readjust or replace the lockout valve and repeat this procedure.
