WARNING
ELECTRICAL SHOCK
on
• Electrical shock hazard exists inside the axle if axle access panel on either axle is removed without verifying the
absence of bus voltage in the electrical system. Always verify the absence of bus voltage before removing the
axle access panels and touching any electrified component inside the axle. Do NOT touch the electrical cable
connections inside the axle when the key switch is ON, or the generator is primed, or until five minutes after the
nc
engine has been shut down and the absence of bus voltage is verified. Failure to verify the absence of bus
voltage and touching electrified components inside the axle could cause electrical shock hazards resulting in
serious injury or death.
• Electrical shock hazard exists if performing inspection or service procedures that involves contact with any
U
component of the electrical system, opening the electrical converter cabinet or removing axle access covers.
Always verify the absence of bus voltage before touching any electrical components. High voltage is present
when machine is at high engine speed, and can be present at low engine speed or up to five minutes after the
machine engine is shut down. Follow local procedures for that process. Failure to avoid touching energized
components can cause electrical shock hazards resulting in serious injury or death.
WARNING
This document
0000 (4/18/2023)
Traction Motor Safety
• Electrical shock hazard exists when there is voltage on the bus. Do not touch any electrical leads, connections, or
components (including braking grids) until five minutes after the machine engine has been turned off and the
absence of bus voltage is verified. It is possible for high voltage to be present for five minutes after the machine
engine, on some models, has been turned off. Touching energized electrical leads, connections, or components
can cause electrical shock resulting in serious injury or death.
d
• Risk of fatal electrical shock or injury by contact in the electrical cabinet is possible if the engine is running, the
LINCS software indicates voltage on the bus, or the red bus LED’s in the electrical cabinet are illuminated. All
Generation 2 SR equipment has the ability to produce voltage at low engine speed. Even with the engine off,
te
there may be a residual of 12-15VDC on the bus. Do not enter the electrical cabinet or touch any components in
the electrical cabinet without performing the Bus Discharge Verification Procedure. Failure to do so may result in
fatal electrical shock or other injury.
in
• Electrical shock hazard exists when the generator is primed and operating and until 5 minutes after the machine is
shut down. High voltage is present on the dynamic grids when the generator is primed and operating. Do not
touch electrical connections or braking grids until at least 5 minutes after the machine is shut down and ignition
Pr
key is off. Always verify the absence of bus voltage before touching any electrical connections. Touching electrical
connections or braking grids can cause electrical shock resulting in serious injury or death.
• Electrical shock hazard exists inside the electrical converter cabinet when the red LED lights inside the cabinet
are illuminated. DO NOT ENTER the electrical converter cabinet if the engine is running. Do not enter the
electrical converter cabinet if the bus voltage indicator LED’s on the SR converter assemblies are illuminated. Do
n
not enter the electrical converter cabinet if the machine park brake is not set. Do not touch any electrical
component, assembly or electrical connection on the machine if the bus voltage indicator LED’s on the SR
he
converter assemblies are illuminated. Check ALL converter panel LED’s for voltage. Verify the absence of bus
voltage before touching any electrical connection inside the electrical converter cabinet. Entering the electrical
cabinet or touching electrical components anywhere on the machine while the red LED lights are illuminated or
there is voltage on the electrical bus might cause electrical shock, resulting in serious injury or death.
W
• Electrical shock hazard exists if opening the electrical converter cabinet while the engine is running. NEVER open
the electrical converter cabinet while the engine is running. High voltage is present when the drive is enabled (at
any engine speed) and may be present even if the machine is shut down. Do not touch any drive system
component electrical connection on the machine for at least 5 minutes after the machine is shut down. Always
verify the absence of bus voltage before touching drive system component electrical connections. If inspection or
d
service procedures involve contact with any electrical component of the drive system, opening the converter
cabinet, or removing axle access covers, or touching drive system electrical component connections, the key
lle
switch must be off, the machine not running, the electrical system MUST be locked out by using the battery
isolation switch, and the absence of bus voltage verified. Accidental contact with energized terminals or
components could result in serious injury or death.
• Electrical shock hazards exist if entering or placing any body part inside the electrical converter cabinet. The
tro
potential voltage on a bus that has not discharged could be over 700VDC. Perform the Bus Discharge Verification
Procedure before entering the electrical converter cabinet, axle housings or braking grid enclosure. Check with
site specific isolation procedures before working on the machine. Failure to perform the bus discharge verification
procedure before entering the electrical converter cabinet can cause electrical shock hazards resulting in serious
injury or death.
on
• Electrical shock hazard exists if using common rubber hose or rubber wrap to insulate electrical connectors. Do
not use these materials as they may be conductive. Only use materials that are specified for electrical insulation.
Failure to use proper insulating materials can cause shock hazards resulting in serious injury or death.
nc
• Electrical shock hazard exists if touching the dynamic braking grids when the drive is enabled. High voltage is
present when the drive is enabled. Do NOT touch the braking grids (or any electrical connection on the machine)
when the key switch is ON, or the generator is primed, or until five minutes after the engine has been shut down
and the absence of bus voltage is verified. Contact with the braking grid can cause fatal electrical shock, resulting
in serious injury or death.
U
• High voltage may be present. Risk of shock or equipment damage by use of an improperly rated meter is
possible. Use a CAT III 1000V rated volt meter to take voltage readings. Shock or other injury may result from
using improperly rated test equipment.

File all burrs and edges so that they can engage properly.
• The spline teeth on the pinion shaft and the shell pinion should be thoroughly cleaned and checked for
d
burrs before installation.
te
NOTICE
Even small particles of dirt or burrs can produce galling and greatly increase the force required for installation (or
in
prevent installation entirely).
NOTICE
Pr
For installation, have all the appropriate press equipment for pressing the shell pinion onto the shaft.

Step 2: A thin coat (almost invisible) of MolyKote GN paste should be applied to the splines on the pinion shaft and
in the shell pinion to aid in installation and to prevent galling.
• Heat the pinion in an oven to 275° F (135°C).
CAUTION
d
The pinion should NEVER be heated above 275°F (135°C) as temperatures above this will temper (soften) the
te
carburized case of the teeth.
