Phœnix ‘SPC10e’ Self Propelled Chipping Spreader 10/10 Instruction and Maintenance Manual 2.1.8 Sheet 2.24 Engine Coolant Radiator The radiator pack at the front of the engine also has a hydraulic oil cooler attached at the front. IMPORTANT The radiators must be kept clean and free of obstruction AT ALL TIMES. To clean the engine radiator – Release the bottom hydraulic hose (from oil cooler) from clamp under chassis (next to hydraulic reservoir). Releasing the wing screws on the front of the radiator allow the hydraulic radiator to PULL FORWARD so that the main engine radiator may be cleaned. Release the bottom hydraulic hose from its clamp on the chassis to fully move the radiator. Use compressed air or a nylon brush to clean the radiator of any build-up. Phœnix ‘SPC10e’ Self Propelled Chipping Spreader 10/10 Instruction and Maintenance Manual 2.1.9 Sheet 2.25 Engine Air Intake Cleaner The air cleaner is fitted with a vacuum gauge linked to a warning light in the main console. When blocked the air cleaner element will need cleaning or replacement. SPECIFICATION The air cleaner consists of a pre-cleaner assembly, which generates a cyclone effect with the incoming air, throwing the larger dust particles to the outside. The particles are then sucked into the exhaust and ejected. It is important to ensure the pipe between the pre-cleaner and exhaust is in place and undamaged. The air is then drawn into the main air cleaner containing two paper elements, inner and outer. The inner element acts as a safety element should the outer element becoming damaged. The vacuum sensor will illuminate the instrument warning light when the element has become blocked and is restricting air flow to the engine. The air compressor also takes its inlet air from the air cleaner. MAINTENANCE Remove the elements by unclipping the end housing and holding firmly; draw back the outer element; it is held by a rubber grommet on the inside that forms an air seal. Always replace both elements together and ensure the rubber seal is in good condition, they are correctly fitted and the end cap re-fitted. Check also the hose and pipe from the air cleaner to the engine is in good order and the band clamps are tight. Any gap can lead to air being drawn directly into the engine causing wear and failure. IMPORTANT If any of the air cleaner pipework to the engine is damaged, the vacuum gauge is lost or sealing bands are broken, replace these immediately before continuing to use the machine. The following four pages have specific information on the servicing procedures for the air cleaner filter elements.

It consists of One variable displacement piston pump with electric over hydraulic control. Pump fitted with its own charge/boost gear type pump and one variable displacement piston motor to gearbox, with hydraulic control. See circuit diagram SE701-01 Variable displacement pump Boost pump output Main relief valve pressure Boost pressure Min boost pressure 100 cc/rev at max displacement 20 cc/rev 320 bar (built into pump) 24 bar (relief) 20 bar Variable displacement motor 110 cc/rev at max displacement 62 cc/rev at min displacement Boost Pressure & Filters The boost pressure MUST be maintained for the hydrostatic transmission to perform correctly. To measure boost pressure, there are gauge ports in both pumps. These are located in the top of the pumps attached to the porting for circuiting the boost flow through their filters. Phœnix ‘SPC10e’ Self Propelled Chipping Spreader 10/10 Instruction and Maintenance Manual Sheet 2.32 Pump/Motor Signal Valve The control signal used to operate the motor from the pump is isolated to the motor in LOW range to limit the speed to 4.2 kph. Otherwise the ground speed in low range would be 7.2 kph maximum. The signal valve is positioned on the inboard side of the RHS conveyor immediately above the drive motor & below the pressure filter. To override this valve and allow the motor to change displacement in LOW speed, set the valve manual override into the MANUAL POSITION. Drive Motor Displacement Isolator Valve NORMAL POSITION MANUAL OVERRIDE To set to manual either, unscrew fully the head of the hydraulic cartridge, or alternatively push and twist the bayonet cap to release the valve head. If the valve fails to operate correctly, the High speed range will also not achieve full speed of 28 kph but will be limited to 16 kph. Maintenance The hydrostatic circuit uses all Sauer-Danfoss components, as is the control circuit and joystick, which do not require any regular maintenance. In the event of system performance failure, either contact Phoenix Engineering or your local Sauer-Danfoss dealer for assistance. Phœnix ‘SPC10e’ Self Propelled Chipping Spreader 10/10 Instruction and Maintenance Manual Sheet 2.33 Pump priming – In the event of a major hose failure or hydraulic oil leak, the hydrostatic pumps will need priming with oil BEFORE starting. This will prevent internal failure through poor lubrication. When priming the circuit it is recommended that the engine be turned over, but prevented from starting, until hydraulic oil has completely entered all of the circuit. If dismantling the hydrostatic circuit, it is recommended that specific information on the pump and motor servicing be obtained first from Phoenix Engineering or Sauer Danfoss. Cleanliness At any time, when the circuit is dismantled, it is most important to ensure dirt is not allowed to enter. All hose unions or ports must be kept sealed and be cleaned before being re-assembled.

Brake sprung applied & pressure released to fail safe. • Gearbox multi pack brake for parking/emergency use. Brake sprung applied & pressure released to fail safe. Hydraulic Brakes Circuit Brake operation has three independent circuits that are all fitted with accumulators to allow limited brake operation should the power fail. Approximately 5 service and park brake operations are possible before reserve hydraulic pressure is lost. See circuit diagram SE703-01 Stored energy accumulators are used in the brake circuit. These retain pressure when the power (engine) is off. This allows for up to five brake operations until the reserve is exhausted. IMPORTANT If dismantling the hydraulic joints pressure in the lines will need to be released. Operate all brake functions ten times to drain the reserve pressure. Maintenance There is no regular service needed to the brake control components. If these components fail to perform to specification, they must be replaced IMMEDIATELY. The hydraulic circuit used oil from the main hydraulic reservoir and does not have its own supply. The calliper brake pads need annual inspection. See the ITL axle section for information on the maintenance of the axle’s brakes. Phœnix ‘SPC10e’ Self Propelled Chipping Spreader 10/10 Instruction and Maintenance Manual Sheet 2.39 Calliper Brake Adjustment The calliper brake should be inspected and adjusted annually. Inspection – Check that the disc is in good order and there is no debris or oils on the disc or pads. Check the wear on the pads, if worn, more that 2mm on each pad, replace pads. Check for oil leaks from calliper piston or hose connection. Calliper Brake Assembly Adjustment – 1. Chock wheels. 2. With hydraulic circuit charged (engine must have run but not running during adjustment), set brake to OFF/release brake. 3. Loosen the central lock nut and adjusting screw. 4. Place a 0.30mm [0.012”] thick shim between the disc and one lining. 5. Tighten the adjusting screw until it is just possible to remove the shim. 6. Tighten lock nut while holding the adjusting screw with a spanner. Remove shim and release pressure from brake – set handbrake ON.

The centre section feedroller and agitator are driven through chain and pinion. The motor is mounted onto a plate that can be adjusted in increase drive chain tension. The extension feedrollers and agitator drive directly into their shafts. The flow from the hydraulic pump is feed into the main control block. This block contains a main relief valve, a solenoid proportioning flow control valve and a pair of solenoid valves for each feedroller (R1,R2 &R3) The circuit feeds the centre feedroller (R2) then left hand extension (R1) and last the right hand extension feedroller (R3), all in series, to maintain equal speeds on the feedrollers. Each feedroller has its own control switch that acts upon that pair of solenoid valves, so each feedroller is individually controllable ON/OFF in any sequence. The master switch (on Joystick) will trigger the proportional flow control to allow flow into the remaining part of the circuit. Phœnix ‘SPC10e’ Self Propelled Chipping Spreader 10/10 Instruction and Maintenance Manual Sheet 2.53 The pair of solenoid valves consists of one normally open ‘NO’ and one normally closed ‘NC’. Both are de-energised when the feedroller is stationary and energise to engage the feedroller motor. The ‘NO’ solenoid normally allows the flow to divert past that feedroller to the next and from there back to the hydraulic reservoir. Each ‘NC’ solenoid shuts the circuit to the feedroller so stopping the motor from rotating. On the centre section feedroller there is a check valve mounted directly next to the motor to counteract a small amount of counter rotation when the circuit closes at the solenoids. The solenoid valves will operate in the following sequence. Master ‘OFF’ - All solenoid de-energised, all feedrollers ‘OFF’ Master ‘ON’ & R2 ‘ON’- 1st pair solenoids energised, centre feedroller only operates. R1 and R3 ‘OFF’, 2nd and 3rd pair of solenoids deenergised. Master ‘ON’ & R1, R2, R3, ‘ON’ - all solenoids energised (6 no.) all feedrollers operate The proportioning solenoid valve allows a proportion of the total flow into the circuit that is a function of ground speed and the setting of the FeedRoller Speed Adjuster. The bypassed flow is passed into the tank line. The optional extension hopper agitators have a manually controlled hydraulic block mounted directly to their motors. This hydraulic block contains a diverter valve. HAZARD WARNING The central position has a detent location in which the lever must be set to disengage the agitator; failure to correctly position the lever can restrict the flow causing excessive load and heat to build up.

Two extension hoppers with feedrollers, feedgates, optional agitators and drive systems. Extension rail support front and rear with hydraulic rams to extend and retract hoppers. MAINTENANCE The feedrollers and feedgates must be kept in good order, to ensure the performance of the spreading system is maintained. Weekly, the threads on feedgate adjusters should be cleaned and treated with a spray lubricant (such as WD40 or similar). Check the feedgate mesh remains in good order and does not wear away or locally lift off the feedroller surface. It must remain tightly held onto the drum surface. When the feedroller mesh requires replacement, (less than 2mm thickness remains) the feedgate rubber, cut-off-door rubber and feedroller scraper rubber should also be changed at the same time. To replace the feedroller mesh, dismantle from the hopper and remove the old mesh from the roller with a hand chisel, breaking the welds. Lightly grind the surface to clean off the old weld. DO NOT grind off the mesh or use heavy grinding on the surface of the feedroller as excessive heat can cause it to distort. Place a pre-rolled mesh over the feedroller and clamp into place so that it tightens down fully onto the surface. Weld short runs along both ends and seam so that no loose edges are left. When the length of the feedroller requires more than one section of mesh, stagger the longitudinal join so that there is not a continuous line of weld at one point for the full length. Fixed on each end of each feedroller is a large diameter disc. There are plates that closely fix over them (centre feedroller) or on to their outside edge (extension hoppers) these should be Phœnix ‘SPC10e’ Self Propelled Chipping Spreader 10/10 Instruction and Maintenance Manual Sheet 2.63 adjusted or replaced as they wear, to prevent aggregate becoming jammed behind the end of the feedroller and the hopper outside plates. IMPORTANT Do not allow the feedroller to bow out of shape. A distortion of even 1mm will lead to uneven spreading characteristics. When replacing the feedgate rubber, care must be taken to ensure the bottom edge remains perfectly straight. The feedroller scraper rubbers should be adjusted so that any gap behind the feedrollers is closed up. However, they should not be pushing onto the surface of the feedrollers. The separate feedgates must all remain parallel to the feedroller when replaced. Check by allowing feedgate rubbers to rest on the feedroller so that along their full length they rest equally onto the feedroller. The agitator shaft has eccentric discs welded on to break up lumps of aggregate. These discs will wear away when frequently used and should be replaced. The remains of the old disc should be ground away and new ones welded in their place. The extension hopper support rails, front and back, is held on nylon wear pads. These will only wear very slowly and, should in normal use, last the life of the machine. If however the hopper becomes slack on the rails additional packing can be placed under the pads to take up this wear. The scatter plates at the front of each hopper should be kept in good condition and retain their straightness. If they become damaged or bent, they should be immediately repaired or replaced. When the feedrollers or agitators are removed from the machine, the bearings in which they rotate should be checked. Regular greasing is not required, but they should be free running. The bearings should be locked to the shaft to prevent movement through the bearing occurring. The extension hopper cut-off plates, located above the extension feedroller and sliding over it, will catch aggregate. It should be fully cleared and any aggregate fouling the slot in the extension hopper removed. The level of wear on the end pushed though the Phœnix ‘SPC10e’ Self Propelled Chipping Spreader 10/10 Instruction and Maintenance Manual Sheet 2.64 aggregate must also be checked, as this can affect the overlap when excessive wear occurs. Phœnix ‘SPC10e’ Self Propelled Chipping Spreader 10/10 Instruction and Maintenance Manual Sheet 2.65 2.4.2 Conveyors SPECIFICATION Conveyor belt size: Conveyor belt pattern Trough angle: Head/drive drum: Fastener / Hinge: Twin 450 wide Flat profile with sweeper cleats chevron pattern 20º Rubber lagged to give traction Wire rope type, removable connector or MAINTENANCE Belt tension : The belts will drive satisfactorily with very little tension. This can be seen in the way the belt hangs down between the return idlers. To adjust belt tension, slacken the nuts on the tail drum adjuster screws and draw the tail drum down the slot, until sufficient tension is applied. Re-secure the nuts on the tensioner. Do not over tension the belts, as they will stretch if pulled too tight. Only adjust the minimum amount if belt to drive drum traction is lost and they slip on the drive drum. Always ensure the tail drum remains square to the elevator belt and parallel to the head drum. Always adjust by the same amount on each of the screws. Conveyor belt tracking : If the belt, at the top or bottom, runs to one side use the following procedure to centralise it. 1) Ensure the head drive drums and tail drums are square and parallel to the machine’s structure. Never try to track the elevator belts by moving either the head or tail drums out of square. 2) The idler rollers are in slotted holes, to allow them to be moved at a slight angle to the belt. If the belt is moving to the left on the load (top) side, adjust the idler on the left, at the beginning of the misalignment, forward. This has the effect of moving the belt back towards Phœnix ‘SPC10e’ Self Propelled Chipping Spreader 10/10 Instruction and Maintenance Manual Sheet 2.66 the centre. Alternatively, move the right hand side of the idler back. If this does not bring the belt sufficiently back into the centre, move to the next idler up and adjust its position, Carry on until the belt tracks into the middle on the head drum. 3) If the belt is moving off centre on the return side, and the belt is off centre on the tail drum, move the return idlers forward on the side the belt is moving towards. 4) Securely lock all the idlers after the elevator belt has been tracked. The elevator belt tracking should be checked weekly. Idler rollers : These have sealed for life bearings inside them and should be checked annually to ensure that none have seized. Weekly, the return idler should be checked to ensure that the rubber support wheels are not in contact with the cross lugs. The cross lugs can be pulled off by being constantly hitting against these rubber wheels, causing then to be stripped from the belt surface. Adjustment of front hopper sensors: The level switch / float, will detect when the front hopper is full and stop the elevator belt on that side. The position of the arm and the angle at which it will switch the elevator belt ON/OFF is adjustable. The vertical position of the float can be adjusted by moving the arm through the pivot assemble. The higher the float position the greater the front hopper will fill before the belts are stopped. The angle at which the switch is ON and OFF is adjusted by slackening the pilot assembly on the splined shaft of the switch and moving it to a new position so that the switch is off in the vertical position and switches on at the correct angle to sense the hopper is full. Re-secure the pivot assembly when the angle of the switch and float is correct. Note The switch is open (OFF) when the elevators are operating and closed (ON) when the elevators are stopped. Phœnix ‘SPC10e’ Self Propelled Chipping Spreader 10/10 Instruction and Maintenance Manual Sheet 2.67 2.4.3 Rear Receiving Hopper MAINTENANCE The folding side hinges should be lubricated weekly. The hinge pin can be removed rearwards to release the folding side. The rubber around the back of the hopper needs replacing when it becomes damaged. The elevator belt aperture and rear flap rubber needs changing only when heavily worn.

The tow hook is operated by a two way hydraulic ram. To Re-Position Hook To re-position the hook when the bush has relaxed, slacken the three cap head set screws, holding the bush into the bracket, until the bush outer ring can rotate inside the bracket. Lift the tow hook until positioned correctly and re secure the cap head screws. When the rubber / elastic bush no longer maintains its flexibility, it will require replacement. See section 4.4 for details of tow hook truck attachment layout.
