The 25 TON TRUCK uses the model ZF 210 transmission and the 30 TON TRUCK
uses the ZF 260 transmission. Although the two transmissions differ in many ways,
their operating functions are quite similar. Both transmissions provide six speeds
forward and three speeds in reverse. Forward directions can be shifted manually or
automatically while the reverse direction only operates in the manual mode.
The automatic transmission control system ensures automatic torque converter lock-up
clutch engagement that matches operational engine speed and load.
The torque converter condition is displayed by means of the bars. When the bars are
flashing, the torque converter is operating. When the bars are on continuously, the lock-
up clutch has locked the converter pump to the turbine and the converter functions as a
mechanical device. The flashing bars are not an indicator of transmission system errors.
Converter lock-up occurs at approximately 1200 to 1400 RPM and will not unlock, even
when the transmission shifts, until the speed drops to approximately 700 RPM.
When shifting from Neutral into either Forward or Reverse, the button on top of the shift
lever must be depressed at the same time. This keeps the transmission in automatic
mode when in Forward. When Reverse is selected, the transmission will automatically
switch to manual mode.
The transmission will not shift into Forward or Reverse if the parking brake is applied.
To manually change gears, when the gearshift lever is in Forward or Reverse, move
the lever to the side:
When the lever is pushed leftward, toward the driver, a lower gear is selected (down
shifts one gear). When the lever is pushed rightward, away from the driver, a higher
gear is selected (up shifts one gear). Each movement to the side will result in one gear
shift.
When the shift lever is returned to Neutral, the transmission shifts to the pre-selected
starting gear. The highest possible starting gear is second gear. However, if the
vehicle is stopped in a higher gear, and the shift lever remains in forward, the
transmission will remain in that gear when restarting.
The transmission control unit will prevent gearshifts which are not compatible with
vehicle and engine speeds.
It is recommended to shift gears when the lock-up clutch indicator stops flashing. This
avoids over loading the torque converter. The transmission oil temperature will
increase with prolonged operation with the torque converter lock-up disengaged.
Shifting to a lower gear will allow the converter lock-up clutch to engage and
lower the temperature.
The automatic transmission control system selects the most suitable gear according to
engine speed and load. When starting from a standstill, the transmission will
automatically start in second gear. Always change to first gear manual mode when
starting off uphill with a full load.
Pre-selection of maximum speed: Push the gearshift lever laterally to select and limit
the highest gear that can be engaged automatically to that gear and all lower gears.
Push the lever toward the driver to shift down and away from the driver to shift up.
Differential Lock
The vehicle is equipped with a limited slip feature on all axles. These axles will transfer
torque automatically, according to the lack of traction of each wheel.
The vehicle is also equipped with a rear differential lock (B) and a transmission
differential lock (C).
Lock the rear differential to assure positive traction between the rear axles. Lock the
transmission differential to assure positive traction to the front axle as well.
When neither differential lock is used, power is applied to all three axles in an unlocked
condition. Engaging the rear differential lock assures positive drive to both front and
rear tandem axles. Engaging the transmission differential lock assures drive to the
front axle as well.
NOTE: Never engage the differential locks if additional traction is not required.
Engaging the transmission differential lock when it is not needed creates undue tire
wear and heavier transmission loads.
Do not engage a differential lock while a wheel is spinning. Stop the machine
before engaging a differential lock.

Model ZF 6WG260
Transmission TCU and wiring: The TCU receives the input signals and controls the
outputs to assure correct operation of the transmission.
Hydraulic system: The system consists of a set of solenoid valves, controlled by the
TCU, and pipes to carry the oil to the points required.
Torque converter: The torque converter transmits the input torque from the engine to
the transmission. It consists of the pump, the turbine and the stator.
Lock-up clutch: The lock-up clutch locks the pump and turbine components together
creating a 1:1 ratio.
Shafts and gears: The transmission consists of an input shaft, an output shaft with a
transmission differential lock, and three main shafts.
Clutches: Each shaft has two multi-plate clutches.
Oil pump: The pump is fitted to the input shaft to supply oil for clutches and lubrication.
25 TON TRUCK
TORQUE CONVERTER
The torque converter hydraulically transmits drive force from the engine to the
transmission, at a multiplying ratio from a maximum of approximately 2.5:1 to a
minimum of 1:1.
The torque converter consists of three parts: the pump P, the turbine T and the stator
S. The pump is the input element and is rotated by the engine. The turbine is the
output element and is hydraulically controlled by the pump. The stator is the reaction
element (torque multiplier) which is mounted on a one-way bearing allowing rotation in
one direction only. The assembly is enclosed in an oil filled housing which also
includes a lock-up clutch for locking the turbine to the pump and also a hydrodynamic
brake on the model ZF 260.
LOCK-UP CLUTCH
The lock-up clutch WK (2), is a device which, when engaged by oil pressure on the
piston (1), mechanically couples the pump to the turbine.
When the lock-up clutch is engaged, the slippage between the pump and turbine is
eliminated. The transmission then operates as a mechanical transmission with no
torque multiplying feature, no frictional losses and a reduction in fuel consumption.
When the clutch is disengaged, the oil circulating in the converter exerts equal
pressure on the front and the rear of the clutch (2) engagement piston. In this
condition, the turbine and pump are free to rotate independently.
The clutch engages when the Transmission Control Unit activates a solenoid valve
which allows oil to flow into area (a). As pressure in area (a) builds, the piston (1)
moves and applies the clutch, locking the turbine and pump together, eliminating
relative slippage.
TRANSMISSION CLUTCHES
The multiple plate clutches lock the gear hub and the shaft bell when engaged.
Each clutch consists of a set of plates with splines on the outside (1a) arranged
alternately with a set of plates with splines on the inside (1b). The plates with the
splines on the outside engage the bell (2) while the plates with the splines on the inside
engage the hub (3).
Each clutch is hydraulically locked by sending pressurized oil from a solenoid valve to
the back of the control piston (4), locking the plates from slipping thus locking the bell
and hub together. Springs (5) on the reverse side of the clutch piston assure a release
of the clutch plates when oil pressure is removed from the piston.
The ZF 260 transmission has two clutches on each shaft, the ZF 210 transmission is
designed with one clutch per shaft.
The transmission hydraulic pump is a gerotor type pump. It is mounted in the stator
housing and rotates with the input shaft. The pump is rated to provide sufficient oil flow
for machine operation even at low idle speed. Insufficient flow could result in rough
shifts, poor modulation and failure of components. The pump draws oil from the sump
and delivers oil to the oil filter.
The transmission control valve directs the flow of oil to the appropriate clutches at the
appropriate time to drive the machine. The valve is located on the backside of the
transmission on the 25 TON TRUCK with internal oil passages to the clutches. The
control valve on the 30 TON TRUCK is located on top of the transmission with external
hoses to the clutch assemblies.
The control valve houses six solenoids and 12 spools used to control the flow of oil to
the required clutches. Six large spools control the flow of oil to the clutches while the
six smaller spools are dampening spools used for modulation.
The control valve also houses a main pressure spool for regulating system pressure
and a smaller spool which is a pressure reducing spool. This reduced pressure (130 to
160 psi) [9 to 11 bar] is used for shifting the spools in the control valve.
Oil from the reservoir passes through the oil pump and the filter(s) and enters the
control valve where it is controlled by the system pressure valve.
The system pressure valve is normally closed and is designed to open at 232 to 253
psi (16 to 17 bar), providing regulated pressure to the control spools.
The pressure reducing valve is a normally open valve which provides oil for the pilot
circuit at a pressure of 130 to 160 psi (9 to 11 bar).
The control solenoids, when de-energized, provide a passage of oil through the
solenoid and on to the transmission sump. When energized, the return to sump
passage in the solenoid is closed causing the pressure to build, and shift the control
spool, allowing regulated pressure to fill the clutch assembly. The modulating spool
also senses the pilot pressure and dampens the movement of the control spool.
Excess oil dumping over the system pressure valve is ported through the transmission
to supply the torque converter with oil. A converter relief valve before the converter,
controls the maximum pressure at 160 psi (11 bar), with excess oil returning to the
sump. Return oil from the converter flows through the converter outlet valve. This
valve is designed to maintain a back pressure in the converter of 61 psi (4 bar)
maximum.
Oil from the relief valve passes through the oil cooler and from there to the lubrication
system, then to the transmission sump.
The front and rear output shafts of the transmission are driven through a double
satellite sun and planetary gear differential which can be locked.
The differential is designed to spread the drive force while the two elements
transmitting the output drive (sun gear and gear set holder) turn in the same direction.
The transmission differential spreads the drive force between the front and rear axles
providing 1/3 of the force to the front axle and 2/3 of the force to the rear axles.
The operator can lock the transmission differential by means of an electrical hydraulic
control if either axle begins to slip.
The control works on a sliding sleeve which, when moved, locks the two elements
transmitting the output drive (sun gear and gear set holder). In this way, the output
shafts turn together at the same speed.
In normal conditions, the drive torque is applied to the external crown gear, with 2/3 of
the force being sent through the gear set holder (4) to the rear output shaft while 1/3 of
the force is sent through the sun gear to the front output shaft (7).
In the differential locked condition, the sliding sleeve (11) locks the gear set holder (4)
which is solidly connected to the rear output shaft, to the front output shaft, which is
solidly connected to the sun gear. The drive torque is consequently spread equally
over both sides of the unit.
This test is normally performed if there is a complaint of low power in certain gears.
Excessive leakage in a clutch could result in a loss of system pressure. To perform the
test, proceed as follows:
1. For safety purposes, block the machine wheels, apply the parking brake and
engage the steering lock at the articulation joint.
2. Install a pressure tap at the port for regulated pressure with a 400 psi (27 bar)
gauge and sufficient hose to read the gauge from the cab. (Because of the
inaccessibility of the control valve on the 30 TON TRUCK, this test port is
located at the rear of the cab).
3. Heat the oil to 80 C (176 F).
4. Disengage the parking brake
5. With the service brake applied, and the engine running at rated speed, shift into
each forward and reverse gear while the transmission is in the manual mode. A
momentary drop in regulated pressure should be seen at each shift, immediately
returning to the original pressure. Regulated pressure should be between 232
and 253 psi (16 to 17 bar).
Pressure testing of a specific clutch
This test is normally performed if there is a complaint of low power in one specific gear.
Excessive leakage in a clutch could result in a loss of system pressure.
To perform this test, follow the same procedure as described above, but place the
pressure tap at the appropriate test port on the control valve. (The inaccessibility of
the test ports on the 30 TON TRUCK, may require the pressure tap be placed in a tee
fitting where the supply hose enters the clutch supply port on the rear of the
transmission).

Test Procedure:
Block the machine tires, apply the parking brake and install the pressure
gauge at test point 52. Heat the oil to operating temperature
176 to 212 F (80 to 100 C).
While in the cab, put the transmission in Neutral, run the engine at full
throttle. Pressure must be 51 to 96 psi (3.5 to 6.5 bar).
Checking Lubrication Pressure
Equipment required:
Pressure gauge 0 to 100 psi (0 to 7 bar), with sufficient length hose to take
readings from the cab.
Test Procedure:
Block the machine tires, apply the parking brake and install the pressure gauge in the
cooler return line at the transmission. Heat the oil to operating temperature
176 to 212 F (80 to 100 C). While in the cab, run the engine at full throttle. Place
the transmission in each gear and record the pressure. Pressure must be 3 to 18 psi
(0.2 to 1.2 bar).
As the clearances in the clutch assemblies change due to wear, shift quality also
changes. It is recommended that the AEB-Cycle be performed at the maintenance
intervals. The AEB-Cycle must also be performed if replacement of the transmission,
the control valve or the Transmission Control Unit has occurred.
An AEB-Starter is required to perform the cycle. ZF part number 0501 211 778
SUBSTITUTE CLUTCH CONTROL: The TCU cannot change gears under the control
of normal modulation. The TCU uses a substitute control of timed modulation only.
LIMP HOME: A failure limits the transmission to one speed (sometimes only one
direction). The TCU will place the transmission in neutral, requiring the operator to
place the shift selector into neutral, then into forward or reverse. The TCU will then
select the limp home gear.
TRANSMISSION SHUTDOWN: The TCU detects a failure that disables the control of
the transmission. The TCU shuts off the solenoids for the clutches and the power
supply. The transmission will stay in neutral.
TCU SHUTDOWN: The TCU detects a severe failure that disables the control of the
system. The TCU shuts off the solenoids for the clutches and the power supply and
also engages the park brake.
