SECTION 3 - LUBRICATION AND MAINTENANCE
OPERATION 36
CLUTCH CALIBRATION (16 x 16 transmission
only) ~ Figure 3-74
NOTE: The 16 x 18 transmission has four electront-
cally controlled, wet, multi-plate clutch packs. To
compensate for wear, the cluich packs must bo
calibrated manualy. This service should be per-
formed every 1200 hours or more frequently if a
deterioration in the qualiy of speed changing I
noted. It is recommended that this operation bo
carried out by an authorised dealer.
IMPORTANT: During calibration, the electronic man-
agement system dotects precisely the point at which
the clutches start io engage. This is detected by a
very small reduction in engine speed. During calibra-
tfon, it is essential that no action is taken that may
cause engine spesd to vary. Ensure that the air
conditioner, where titted, and all electrical equipment
Is tured off. Do not opsrate the P.T.O. or any
hydraulic lever or move the hand or foot throttle.
WARNING: The calibration procedure is
controlled by the electronic management
system. However, bofore carrying out the calibration
procedure, it wouldbe prudent o take precautions fo
prevent inadvertent movement of the tractor. Park the
tractor away from any obstacles, firmly apply the
parking brake and block the wheels, front and rear.
Prior to calibrating the clutches, start the engine and
operate the tractor io warm the transmission oil to at
least 60°C (140° F.
Clutch Spring Pressure Calibration
4. Stop the engine, depress the clutch pedal and
press and hoid in both Powershift buttons (5 & 6) on
the main shift lever (2). With the buttons (and the
clutch pedal) stil depressed, start the engine. The
gearshift display in the instrument panel will display
the letters ‘CAL’, Release the buttons,
2. Place all three gearshift levers (1, 2 & 3) in the
fully forward position. Release the clutch pedal. The
tractor should not move.
3, Sot the engine speed, by means of the hand
throttle (4) to 1200 rev/min + 100 rev/min,
3:39
To Calibrate Clutch Packs C3 and C4
4, Depress and holdin the Powershift up button (6).
‘C3 will appear in the digital display indicating that
callbration of clutch pack C3 has commenced. The ‘C3!
display will will be replaced by a Sig number. The
umber displayed will increase by one digit every
‘second untl the engine speed drops by approximately
0 revimin., at which point the reading wil become
steady. A steady reading indicates that clutch pack C3
|s calbrated. Release the Powershlt up button.
5. Repeat step 4 using the Powershift down button
(). This will calibrate clutch pack C4, Release the
Powershift down button.
NOTE: /fan error code (a two-digit number preceded
by tho letter U) appears inthe display then the set up
procedure has not been carried out correctly. De-
press and release the clutch pedal then repeat steps
4and 5.
To Calibrate Clutch Packs C1 and C2
6. Depress the clutch pedal and move the range
lever (1) to neutral leaving the shuitle and main shit
levers (2 & 9) in the forward position. Release the
clutch pedal.
7. Repeat step 4 using the Powershitt up button (6).
This wil calibrate the spring pressure of clutch pack C1.
8. Repeat step 4 using the Powershift down button
(6). This will calibrate the spring pressure of clutch
pack C2.
