near fireworks.
 Diesel fuel is flammable and cannot be used to
clean the machine. Clean the machine with
approved cleaning agent.
 Some cleaning agents may cause fire or irritate
the skin. Do avoid absorbing vapors of cleaning
agent.
Cleanliness
 Cleanness is one of critical factors to keep safe
and reliable operation of the system. Therefore,
we should keep maintenance site clean.
 Make daily inspection of machinery and
equipment to ensure no dust and oil, which may
reduce the risk of fire, and easy to find
defective parts or loose parts.
If cleaning with high pressure water, must be
extremely careful, because the electronic
components and cable insulation may be damaged
at a relatively moderate pressure and water
temperature. Please protect the cable.
Electrical system
 Check whether the cable is scratched, and
ensure that the cable will not suffer such
damage. This is particularly important for the
cable without fuse. For example , the cables
between the following components:
- Battery
- Battery–starter motor
- Alternator–starter motor
- Warm-up coils from cable to the engine.
 If the cable without fuse is ever disconnected,
do check whether the wires are connected again,
and make sure wire connections can greatly

prevent from being scratched. The cable


without fuse cannot be close to oil or fuel hoses.
 For installing any optional equipment, be sure
that all wires are connected through a fuse and
make sure the layout of wiring and fixing of
wire can avoid being scratched.
Fuel, hydraulic and brake system
 Check and make sure fuel, hydraulic and brake
hoses are not scratched.
Welding and grinding
For carrying out any welding work, fire
extinguisher must be readily available.
 Welding and grinding operations can only be
carried on clean parts of the machine, and
cannot be in a position with combustible
liquids, such as fuel tanks and hydraulic pipe.
If welding or grinding on such parts is
inevitable, be especially careful.
 When welding on the paint surface, you should
first remove the painting. Welding on the
painting surface not only produces health
harmful gases, but also cause poor welding or
malfunction, resulting in accidents.
 Use personal protective equipment. If
conditions are permitted, you can use the
exhaust fan to drain the poisonous gas
produced by the welding and grinding.

Before turning on the air-conditioning system,
repair work and further work should be carried out
by personnel with special qualifications. Many
countries also require that the repair person should
be specially trained and officially recognized.
Understand the regulations and comply with them
in the country.
Refrigerant R134a is used for the air conditioning
unit.
Type and filling amount of refrigerant are marked
on the labels.

ATTENTION
R134a will aggravate the greenhouse effect, and
don’t expose it to the air intentionally.
Person protective equipment
When there is a danger of skin exposure to
refrigerant, please use: tight goggles and protective
gloves, and protect other exposed skin (frostbite
hazard).
Danger

WARNING

concentrations.
If it is not handled correctly, R134a refrigerant can
cause serious personal injury and environmental
hazards. Therefore, be very careful when operating
the air conditioning unit! In order to avoid injury to
personal in touch with refrigerant, the rules given

19
Service Manual for LG936L Wheel Loader

below will be of great help:

WARNING
There is a danger of frostbite! Use protective
gloves.
 Liquid refrigerant can cause frostbite.
 Low-concentration gaseous refrigerant has a
certain impact, especially on the nervous
system.
 The high-concentration gaseous refrigerant has
anesthetic effect.
 Air conditioning units are of high pressure, and
the refrigerant will inadvertently leak. Do not
disconnect the hose or remove oil filling plug
on the compressor.
If you suspect the leakage of some parts, you
should contact with an authorized repair station
approved and trained personnel to troubleshoot
and repair it.
 Refrigerant gas is heavier than air and it will
sink to the ground. Therefore, ensure that any
escaping gas should be released before you start
working.
In the working site during operation of refrigerant,
smoking, welding or other open flames are not
permitted. Refrigerant gas will burn and form a
toxic gas. And it is very dangerous to breathe it. The
gas formed by heating the refrigerant is pungent at
high concentration.
Symptoms may appear after being exposed to the
gas after a few hours (Maybe up to 24 hours).
Actions taken when the accident occurs
Inhale
If you suspect any as leakage, please leave
20
Service Manual for LG936L Wheel Loader

immediately, and try to find fresh air and move


affected persons out of the danger zone. A small
amount of refrigerant R134a vapor will have a
certain impact, particularly on the nervous system.
When the amount of the gas is large, the gas will
have anesthetic effect. In serious cases, seek for
immediate medical attention.
Skin contact
If frostbite occurs, rinse with warm water. If
unprotected skin contacts with large amounts of
liquid refrigerant, keep the damage zone warm with
warm cloth or warm water. If the symptoms persist,
seek for immediate medical.
Splashing into the eyes
Rinse the damaged zone with warm water until
stimulation feeling disappears. Seek for medical
help immediately.

If the pressure is not reduced before open it, oil
will spray under high pressure and cause serious
injury.
Before removing the accumulator from the machine,
the system should be depressurized.
Even some accumulators are removed from the
machine, they still contain pressure, that is so-called
pre-charge pressure. Therefore, be very careful in
dealing with accumulator and operating on the
accumulator.

21
Service Manual for LG936L Wheel Loader

When taking any measures on the accumulator, the


pre-charge pressure must be reduced to atmospheric
pressure.
Avoid exposing the accumulator to high
temperature, do not handle roughly.

WARNING
Discarded accumulator without perforation may
still contain high-pressure, be always extremely
careful to handle it.
The pressure in scrapped accumulator should be
released before being crushed, in order to avoid
explosion.

The Safety of Hydraulic System


Loader hydraulic system runs at very high pressure.
To avoid serious personal injury, it is very
important to repair the system in the right way, and
all personnel that contact with the machine should
be very careful in their work, and pay close attention
to any deficiencies.
To avoid accidents, please comply with the
following requirements.
General
 The pressure of pressure limiting valve must
not be adjusted to the value higher than the
level recommended by the manufacturer.
 Bulgy hydraulic hose (for example, at the joint)
may crack, so replace the hose as soon as
possible! Note the leakage condition of
hydraulic hoses and connections. Repair the
parts before rupture!
 Discarded accumulator should be pierced
before disposal to prevent explosions.

22
Service Manual for LG936L Wheel Loader

WARNING
If the system pressure does not reduce, oil will
spray under high pressure and cause serious
injury.
Release the pressure (pressure relief)
After engine is shut down, there will be pressure left
in system. Before loosening or opening hose
connectors, plugs, etc. in hydraulic system or
braking system, you must release the pressure of the
system.
If the engine is stopped, release the pressure of the
accumulator by moving the lift lever back and forth
several times.
 All pressurized tanks/containers should be
opened carefully to release any remaining
pressure.
 Only after the system is fully relieved can you
check whether leakage pipes and connections
are tightened.

WARNING
Leaked hydraulic hoses under high pressure
may cause serious injury. The spilled liquid is
very penetrating on the exposed skin.
 When checking leakage, check it with steel or
cardboard, and do not use hand.

Checking after Experiencing a Fire


or Heating
 As a precaution, the sealing ring (O-ring or an
axle/shaft seals) should always be dealt with as
made of the fluorine rubber, and refer to
"fluorine rubber" part.

23
Service Manual for LG936L Wheel Loader

WARNING
When washing burned machine, avoid splashing
with water! Therefore, do not clean with
high-pressure liquid.
 If there is a chance that the burnt parts may be
exposed to melt polymer, do not directly touch
them with hands. Wash it with plenty of lime
water (a kind of solution or suspension of
calcium hydroxide, namely slaked lime).
 Use thick protective rubber gloves and goggles
to protect your eyes.
 If your skin may be exposed to burnt fluorine
rubber, seek for medical help. The skin should
be treated with anti-hydrofluoric-acid burnt
cream or similar drugs. Symptoms may appear
a few hours later after touching fluorine rubber.
 Discard protective gloves, cloth, and other
items that may be exposed to fluorine burnt
rubber.
 During operations, maintain good ventilation.
 If the eyes are hurt, rinse them immediately
with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes.
Then seek for medical treatment.

Health Hazard from Paint, Plastic


and Rubber
Working on the paint surface
Do not weld or cut on paint surface. All paints after
heating will decompose and produce a large amount
of different substances, and it is very harmful to
health if exposing in such an environment
frequently.
Take the following security measures:
24
Service Manual for LG936L Wheel Loader

 Remove the paint on 10cm (4 in) area around


working point with abrasive paper (use
respirator mask).
If the paint cannot be sanded off, it should be
removed by other methods, such as using paint
remover.

ATTENTION
If the paint is removed with agent, use an
exhaust fan, and wear a respirator mask and
protective gloves.
 The grinding machine with high-speed disc will
heat the paint and it can only be used for paint
removing when an exhaust fan is placed. And
wear a mask or other respiratory protection
equipment at the same time.
Rubber and plastics

WARNING
Heated rubber and plastic will emit substances
harmful to health and the environment.
Must observe the following safety rules:
 Without insulation measures taken in advance,
do not weld or cut near polyester material
(plastic or rubber) with a flamethrower.
 Do not burn polymeric materials when
scraping them.
 After a fire or heating, the machine should be
handled carefully.
 Always use gloves, goggles and face shields,
or other respiratory protective equipment.
Fluoride rubber

WARNING
Serious risk of corrosion!
25
Service Manual for LG936L Wheel Loader

WARNING
Hydrofluoric gas will be produced when heating
the fluoride rubber and it may cause severe
corrosion of the respiratory tract after
breathing this gas.
Some seals are designed to withstand high
temperatures (i.e. the seals in the engine, gearbox,
axle, brake, hydraulic motors and pumps member),
which are made of fluoride rubber, and they will
generate hydrogen fluoride and Hydrofluoric acid
when heated to high temperature.
Hydrofluoric acid is strongly acidic and corrosive,
and it cannot be washed from the skin. And it would
cause very serious burning and corrosion damage,
and it takes a long time to recover. As a general
principle, the injured tissue must be surgically
removed.
Hydrofluoric acid will remain on the machine parts
after the fire for long time (several years).

ATTENTION
After contacting with hydrofluoric acid, the
symptoms may appear after a few hours.
If swelling, redness or burning happens due to
contacting with heated fluoride rubber, immediately
seek for medical advice.
If the machine or machine parts suffered a fire or
other intense heating, it can only be handled by
trained service personnel.
When operate a machined suffered a fire, be sure to
wear gloves made of strong rubber and effective
safety googles.

WARNING
Burning painted, plastic or rubber parts will be
26
Service Manual for LG936L Wheel Loader

harmful to health.
Decontamination
For the area subjected to heating, if you suspect it is
made of fluorine rubber, use a lot of lime water
(calcium hydroxide, blended hydrated lime) to
thoroughly wash it to remove toxic substances.
After the decontamination, gloves must also be
cleaned in lime water, and then scrap it.

Service Manual for LG938L Wheel Loader

1 Repair &

Maintenance

Regular maintenance is necessary for high


performance of the machine. The viewpoint that the
machine doesn’t need to be checked regularly if the
machine can be used normally is absolutely wrong.
Proper examination and maintenance not only can
extend the working life of the machine, but also find
the malfunctions and deal with them in time, in this
way, the maintenance time and cost can be reduced
significantly.
11 Lubricant, Fuel and Other
Liquids

111 Lubricant

 Lubricant can help to prevent the wear of fitting


surface and noise.
 The connectors (pipe joint, connecting set) that
are not involved in this manual are only for
overhauling and not need to add lubricant. But
be sure to fill the lubricant if some parts are
difficult to operate after a long time using.
 Clear the spilled lubricant after filling.

112 Fuel

 Fuel pump is precise device, and it will not


work normally if the fuel is mixed with water
and other impurities.

1-1
Service Manual for LG938L Wheel Loader

 Be careful to replace or fill the fuel. Never mix


it with impurities.
 Related requirements in this manual must be
complied with when choosing fuel brand.
 Fuel will freeze at low temperature (especially
below -15oC), so choose the fuel according to
ambient temperature.
 To avoid condensed water from entering into
fuel tank, fill the fuel tank fully after work.
 If the engine fails to absorb fuel during starting
process or the filter is just replaced, drain the
air in the circuit first.

113 Coolant

 To avoid the incrustant from affecting the


performance of radiator or blocking the
radiator. Be sure to use the antifreeze specified
by SDLG all year round. Never use water as
coolant.
 If the engine is overheated, cool the engine and
then fill the coolant.
 Coolant should be filled to specified level. Too
low level will result in overheating of engine
and corrosion of cooling system.
 If ambient temperature is above 30oC in
summer, park the wheel loader in shade
because the engine may overheat.
 After operation, run the engine at idle for 5
minutes in order to prolong the service life of
engine and stop the engine until the water
temperature falls down.
 Antifreeze agent is inflammable and you
should keep it away from flame when filling.
 Antifreeze should be replaced every year.
1-2
Service Manual for LG938L Wheel Loader

 Never use 100% antifreeze as coolant.


 Choose different antifreeze according to
ambient temperature condition, recommended
range:
-25# is used for ambient temperature≥-15℃
-35# is used for ambient temperature≥-25℃
-45# is used for ambient temperature≥-35℃
ATTENTION
Never mix the different brands of oil. If there is
only one brand for selection and it is different
from the using one. Use it after draining all the
used oil out.
 Due to the severe working conditions (high
temperature and high pressure) of the
wheel loader and dusty in external service
environment, the oil is easy to be
deteriorated. If so, replace the oil at once.
 Fill the required volume of oil. Adding oil
too much or too little will cause failure.
 Clean or replace filter when filling the oil.
 Just after operating the engine, all kinds of
oil and coolant are hot. Do not open the cap
before it is cooled. After cooling, slowly
open the cab to release the internal
pressure.

From the point of view of flywheel, the rotating
direction of engine is anti-clockwise.

Fig. 2-2 Cylinder number

215 Engine Working Principle

The diesel engine is designed with four strokes,


every working cycle consists four processes, i.e.
intake, compression, power and exhaust.
Specifically speaking, during air intake, engine
inhales fresh air continuously until the piston
approaches the bottom dead center (BDC),
marking the end of intake. Then, the compression
stroke begins as the piston starts moving upwards,
during which the fresh air is compressed by the
piston and its temperature rises. When the piston
approaches the top dead center (TDC), the diesel is
atomized and then injected into combustion
chamber via injector, where it is mixed with high
temperature gas (i.e. gas mixture is formed) and

2-2
Service Manual for LG938L Wheel Loader

combusts automatically and quickly. When the


pressure generated from self-combustion forces the
piston to move downwards, the power stroke
begins, which will be ended as the piston gets close
to BDC. Following this, the exhaust stoke starts as
the piston moves upwards by the force of inertia,
and when it approaches TDC, all remaining waste
gas resulted from mixture combustion is
discharged, marking the end of exhaust stroke.
That’s the whole working circle of the diesel
engine.

216 Engine Block

An optimized engine block is designed. Low


pressure combustion chamber is casted in cylinder
block or provided by the oil supply pipes mounted
on the cylinder block.

2-3
Service Manual for LG938L Wheel Loader

Merits: Make the layout of the whole machine


more reasonable, leakage is avoided, and fuel can
be preheated in advance. The convenience of
service and maintenance has been adequately
considered in the design process, all attachments
except starter, booster and EGR module are
arranged in the same side with engine.

217 Cylinder Cover

Cylinder cover is casted from gray cast iron and


applied unitary structure.

Fig. 2-4
1 Cylinder head

Cylinder cover is used to seal the top of the


cylinder and integrated with the piston crown and
the cylinder wall to form a combustion chamber.
Besides, cylinder cover is fixed on the engine
block with bolts. Intake and exhaust valve, valve
rocker and fuel injector, etc. are installed on the
cylinder cover in accordance with different
situation.

22 Lubrication System

The oil pump absorbs engine oil from the oil sump,
and then flows throughout the engine via the oil
pipes. For components which have relative motion,
wherein oil film will be formed, the abrasion
between parts can be significantly reduced and
service life of engine is lengthened. The engine is
also equipped with piston cooling nozzle to reduce
working temperature of the piston.

23 Fuel Supply System

This engine applies high pressure common rail,


direct injection technologies, effectively improved
the fuel economy, enhanced engine’s power and
exhaust performance.

11 Pipe to diesel pump

231 Low Pressure Circuit

Firstly, the diesel pump 3 pumps fuel from fuel


tank 1 to fuel injection pump 7 through filter 4 and
inlet pipe of the injection pipe. Some of the fuel
enters into high pressure circuit, namely, high
pressure circuit – injector – combustion chamber,
while most of the fuel goes into the oil return
chamber of cylinder block via injection pump to
form low pressure circuit, the pressure in low
pressure circuit is 5bar. Stabilized pressure in low
pressure circuit is vitally important for engine

2-7
Service Manual for LG938L Wheel Loader

power output. If the situation of under-capacity of


engine occurs, check the oil pressure in low
pressure circuit first.
The fuel control valve is used to control oil
pressure in low pressure circuit. The major cause to
oil leak (cavitation) of injector is insufficient
pressure of low pressure circuit, so ensure the
cleanness of fuel filter and replace it if necessary.

232 High Pressure Circuit

The fuel in low pressure chamber enters into the


injector via a short high-pressure oil pipe 8 from
injection pump 7, once the pressure rises up to
220bar, injector 9 begins to work to inject fuel into
the combustion chamber.

233 Fuel Return

Due to the oil supply rate of fuel delivery pump is


more than ten times larger than the capacity of
injector, a lot of excess fuel will return back to fuel
tank via the pressure control valve, leaked fuel
from injector during working gap returns to fuel
tank too, which has the effect of cooling the
combustion. Moreover, air in oil line can be bleed
out under the action of large amount of return fuel,
self-bleeding function is available.

2-8
Service Manual for LG938L Wheel Loader

24 Cooling System

The coolant pump intakes low temperature water


from an attached radiator through the thermostat,
the cooling water flows through engine oil radiator,
then enters into the water jacket in the cylinder
block to cool the cylinder liner, then the water
enters into water jacket of cylinder cover through
water channel, finally returns to the radiator.

241 Function of Cooling System

When the engine is running, a large amount of heat


is generated by fuel combustion and friction
between moving parts, some parts are subjected to
strong heat, especially the parts exposed to burning
gas directly, without proper cooling, the normal
working of engine cannot be guaranteed. The
purpose of cooling system is to keep the engine
working under proper temperature.
TCD 6.1L6 is water cooling engine. Water is the
direct heat-transfer medium, then the heat is passed

2-9
Service Manual for LG938L Wheel Loader

down to air. That is, using a small amount of water


in engine water jacket to absorb excess heat, in a
continuously circulating way, and then dissipate
the heat in the radiator. Because of the temperature
difference between inlet and outlet of water jacket
is small, so the bottom of cylinder wouldn’t be
undercooling, besides, the cooling intensity can be
easily adjusted to keep the engine working under
normal temperature. In winter, hot water can be
used to preheat the engine to make the engine easy
to start.

242 Thermostat

The function of thermostat is to change the


circulating intensity (route and flow) along with
engine load and water temperature. Meanwhile, it
is also used to shorten the engine warm-up time, to
reduce fuel consumption and abrasion between
parts.

2-10
Service Manual for LG938L Wheel Loader

25 Intake and Exhaust System

251 Intake System

Air is absorbed in through air filter, and then flows


into turbocharger. After the air outflows from
turbocharger, it will be cooled in the air cooler.
Before the air enters into cylinder through the
intake manifold and intake valve, it passes through
the preheater first. When operator turns starting
key to position 1 and the temperature of engine
coolant is too low, the fan heater starts to work.
Preheating process stops after the engine started.
Fig. 2-8 Intake and exhaust system
1 Air filter At this point, if the engine still needs to be heated,
2 Turbocharger extra preheating and post preheating processes will
3 Charge air cooler
be activated. The extra preheating and post
4 Preheat mechanism
5 Intake manifold, with charge air preheating time is controlled by the engine control
temperature sensor and charge system. This approach has the metrics of easier
pressure sensor
starting and less white smoke exhaust. When the
preheating coil is in use, the preheating sign on
instrument panel will be lighted.

252 Exhaust System

The engine exhaust system has an off-gas


treatment system. The exhaust gas is discharged
from exhaust manifold and enters into turbocharger,
then enters into DPF module to reduce the
combustion particles, finally discharged via the
exhaust tailpipe.

3 Turbocharger
2-11
Service Manual for LG938L Wheel Loader

253 Turbocharger

The turbocharger is driven by exhaust gas, the


exhaust gas flows through the turbine housing on
its way to DPF module.
Exhaust airflow drives the turbine rotor in the
turbine housing. The compressor rotor and turbine
rotor locate on the same shaft, the former located in
the housing that connected between air filter and
intake manifold.
When compressor rotor rotates, it will absorb air
from the air filter. The turbocharger is equipped
Fig. 2-10 Turbocharger
Red — Exhaust with an exhaust by-pass valve. The exhaust by-pass
Blue — Filtered air valve is controlled by pressurized air. It is allowed
1 Turbine housing that a small amount of exhaust passes by the
2 Compressor housing
3 Waste gate turbine rotor at a high engine speed (high
pressure-charging air pressure).

26 DPF Module

In fact, DPF is a kind of air filter, only what it


filters is high pressure exhaust gas. Its interior is a
honeycomb-like structure, wherein the channels are
closed alternatively to force the exhaust gas to go
through in wall-penetrating mode, thereby particles
will be blocked in tiny pores. Once the particles
accumulated to a certain degree, DPF takes effect
to clear up those particles, and this clean process is
the so-called regeneration process.
LG938L is equipped with initiative regeneration

Service Manual for LG938L Wheel Loader

27 EGR Module

EGR (Exhaust Gas Recirculation): Under the


precondition of maintaining the engine power
performance, EGR sends a part of exhaust gas back
to intake pipe according to engine load and
temperature, mixed with fresh gas to begin the next
combustion. It is used to lower the combustion
reaction and reduce the amount of NOx the
combustion generates.

316 Battery

LG938L equipped with water-free, maintenance-free lead-acid storage battery.


Main parameters
Rated voltage: 12V
Rated capacity: 120A.h
Idle capacity: 230min
Low temperature starting current: 850A
Overall dimensions (mm): 406*172*211
Overall height (mm): 231

Rules for battery charging


1. Ensure that the battery terminals are clean and the charging circuit is properly connected.
2. Connect the positive terminal of the charger to positive terminal of the battery, and then
connect the negative terminal of the charger to negative of the battery. Be sure not to charger
two batteries in series (24V).
3. It is recommended to charge the battery with charger of constant voltage 16V and
current-limiting 25A to the “battery eye” turn green (fully charged). The max. charging voltage
should not exceed 16.2V, otherwise it will cause a lot of water to electrolyzed, the liquid level
drops down, “battery eye” turn white, finally scrap the battery.
4. If constant voltage is not available for charging, refer to the following rules to charge the
battery with constant current.
4.1 Choose 1/8~1/10 rated capacity as the charging current , charging voltage should set to but
not exceed 16V at the end of charging process (the “battery eye” will still indicate “dark” if
charging voltage is lower than 16V at the end). If a voltage lower than 16V cannot be
guaranteed during charging, then artificial monitoring is needed to check the charging once
per hour.
4.2 Correspondences between charging time and battery voltage before charging are listed
below:

3-9
Service Manual for LG938L Wheel Loader

Battery voltage/V Charging time/h Battery voltage/V Charging time/h

12.55~12.45 2 11.80~11.65 8

12.45~12.35 3 11.65~11.50 9

12.35~12.20 4 11.50~11.30 10

12.20~12.05 5 11.30~11.00 12

12.05~11.95 6 Below 11.00 14

11.95~11.80 7

4.3 When the charging is finished, check the color of “battery eye”, if the “battery eye”
indicates green, it means the battery is fully charged; if the “battery eye” indicates black or
dark, then check whether the charging circuit is firmly connected, whether the terminals
are clean, whether the charging voltage gets to 16V at the end. Place the battery for 24h
and check the voltage again, recharge the battery according to the correspondence table
above.
4.4 If the “battery eye” turn white, then there might be bubbles in “battery eye”, waggle the
battery gently to drive the bubble away. If the “battery eye” still indicates “white” after
waggling, then the battery should be replaced.
4.5 For battery with voltage lower than 11V, charge failure may occur during the initial stage,
this is because the battery is short of electric severely, the density of sulfuric acid in the
battery is close to water, which leads to big internal resistance. At this point, decrease
charging current or choose a charger of larger power to proceed the charging, as the
density of sulfuric acid goes up during charging, try to increase charging current back to
normal gradually.
4.6 If a large amount of sulfuric acid spraying during charging, stop to check for reasons
immediately.
4.7 If the temperature of battery exceeds 45oC during charging, stop the charging until the
battery temperature drops to ambient temperature, then proceed the charging with half
charging current.
4.8 Check the status of “battery eye” once per hour during charging. If the “battery eye”
indicates green, it means the battery is fully charged, stop charging.
4.9 When the charging is finished and the test is passed, coat the terminals with grease or
Vaseline to prevent electric erosion.

32 Electrical Principle and Fault Analysis

321 Battery Failure and Troubleshooting


Battery voltage detection
Measure the battery voltage with a voltmeter or multimeter, to determine the technical condition of
the battery.
Firstly turn ignition key to “ON”, before starting the engine, battery terminal voltage reading on the
voltmeter should be 24V, for electrical system it should be within 22.8~25.2V. If the voltage is too
low, then it means the battery is short of electric severely or there is internal short circuit in the
battery. After the engine is started for 3~5s, the voltage reading should be within 18~22V, lower
than 18V means battery failure, and the battery should be repaired or replaced; If the voltage
reading higher than 22V, then it means the battery is in good condition.

Generator fails to charge the battery


When the engine is working normally, the charging indicator is on and the pointer of ampere meter
points at negative value, then it means the generator fails to charge the battery.
The main causes include generator fault, regulator fault or electrical circuit fault etc. Remove the
wire connection from the generator field terminals, turn on the electric lock switch, and use the
multimeter (DC test lamp) to check the terminal. If there is electricity, the generator may be faulty.
Do further check to the components such as generator electric brush, slip ring, rotor and stator or
replace the generator. If there is no electricity, check the regulator field terminal. If the terminal is
electrified, the wire connecting the regulator and the generator can be open circuited; if the terminal
is not electrified, check the regulator live wire terminal. If the terminal is electrified, the regulator
may be faulty, and check or replace the regulator; if the terminal is not electrified, the electric lock
and the wire connecting the electric lock and the regulator can be open circuited etc.
Low charging voltage
When the engine is working, the charging indicator lamp flashes or the ammeter swings around the
zero, the starter runs weakly and even fails to drive the engine to run. The possible cause can be the
unusual or faulty regulator operating voltage, too loose belt, generator inside fault or battery fault.
First of all, set the multimeter to DCV to measure the voltage at both ends of the battery or
generator. If it is lower than the standard value, it shows the charging voltage is too low. Then,
check the fan belt for slippage due to loose tension. If too loose, readjust as required. If it is normal,
go on checking the generator and battery for fault. Method: Disconnect the battery ground wire
3-13
Service Manual for LG938L Wheel Loader

when the engine runs at a moderate or above speed; if the engine runs normally, it indicates that the
generator output power can meet the requirements of the ignition system and the powered devices,
and that the battery has faults; if the engine flames out, it indicates that both the battery and
generator has fault.
High charging voltage
If the generator voltage is too high, the bulb is easy to be burned out when the engine runs, and the
water consumption in battery electrolyte can be too quick which may result from the unusual or
faulty regulator operating voltage.
Start the generator and run it at a moderate speed, set the multimeter to DCV (25V) with the red
probe connected to the generator armature terminal post and the black probe to the generator
housing, and measure the voltage on both ends of the battery or the generator. If it is higher than the
standard value, then the charging voltage is too high. In this case, a new electronic regulator should
be replaced.

323 Principle of Starter motor and


Troubleshooting
General
The starter motor converts electrical energy from
the battery into mechanical energy to turn the
engine. Starter motor consists of DC motor,
transmission mechanism (as known as gear train)
and control device (as known as electromagnetic
switch). The function of DC motor is to convert
electrical energy into mechanical energy and
Control end
output electromagnetic torque. The function of
transmission mechanism is to transmit

Fig. 3-7 Starter motor circuit diagram electromagnetic torque to flywheel before engine
started, drive and start the engine, and to make the
driven gear self-slip after the engine is started to
prevent inverse drag, finally demeshing the
flywheel gear ring. Control device is used to
control the on-of state of the circuit from DC motor
to battery, also control the meshing and demeshing
between transmission mechanism flywheel.

Starter motor control circuit


Starter motor is controlled by E-ECU. When turn
ignition key to “START”, E-ECU will receive an
electrical signal and send a signal to starter motor
control end to energize the starter motor.

Fig. 3-8 Starter motor

3-15
Service Manual for LG938L Wheel Loader

Operation and maintenance of starter motor


Starter motor doesn’t require too much maintenance work from operator. However, if some basic
requirements couldn’t be met, they may cause much bigger problems to the operator.
Notes:
1. The voltage drop of starter motor positive or negative cable from any cause can degrade the
starting performance, thus resulting in hard start and even start failure. Therefore, first of all,
keep all the terminal posts in the battery circuit clean, and connect them firmly to reduce the
contact resistance; secondly, check whether the engine housing and battery negative ground are
in good conditions because most of the starter motor housing are grounded; thirdly, the section
area of the cable and the materials in battery circuit should meet the requirements, and the cable
overall length should be as short as possible to reduce the conductor resistance.
2. The starter motor sealing elements such as dust cover and gasket should be installed properly in
case that the transmission lubricating oil and dust enters into the starter motor.
3. After the engine starts, the starter motor should stop running immediately to reduce wear and
battery electric energy consumption caused by the unnecessary running of starter motor.
Moreover, if the starter motor keeps running for too long, the temperature of the inside DC
motor winding can increase too high and make the motor get burned out, meanwhile, the
battery can subject to over-discharge, thus affecting the battery life span. In general, each start
should not exceed 5s. If the engine cannot get started at a time, stop for 15s and then try to start
again. If the engine fails to start for 3successive times, find out the cause, eliminate the fault
and then restart.
4. Before the start, turn off all the electrical devices irrelevant to the starting, meanwhile, engage
the road roller to N to increase the starting ability of the starter motor and decrease the engine’s
drag torque.
5. If hard starting is caused by too low ambient temperature, warm up the engine fully before the
start to reduce the viscosity of the engine lubricating oil and decrease the engine’s drag torque.
Diagnosis and elimination of common faults of starter motor
Starter motor fails to work
If the starter cannot work after it is powered on, the starting relay and starting switch may be turned
off, or the connecting wire is open-circuited; if the starter still cannot work after the
above-mentioned fault is eliminated, then the starter motor may have internal faults. In this case, the
possible causes can be the fault in the magnetic coil of the starter magnetic switch, the motor switch
ablation, poor contact, and motor electric brush, inverter, armature and magnetic field open circuit.
Starter motor underpower

3-16
Service Manual for LG938L Wheel Loader

The starter can drive the engine crankshaft to rotate, however, the running speed is too low and the
engine cannot start smoothly, indicating the decrease of loading capacity and the actual output
power. The possible causes can be battery feeding, looseness of battery connection terminal, poor
contact caused by oxidation corrosion, motor switch ablation, inverter ablation, too much wear of
electric brush or lack of spring, and local short circuit in motor armature and field winding; and too
large starting drag torque caused by too tight engine assembly or too low ambient temperature.
Starter motor cannot stop
If the starter cannot stop working after the power starting switch is released, the possible causes can
be the power starting switch fault, starting relay fault or motor switch bonding.
Starter motor idling
If the starter runs but the engine crankshaft cannot rotate, the possible causes can be the one-way
clutch slippage, fork mechanism malfunction or seizure, insufficient push-out by driving gear, too
much gear teeth collision or wear, and fork shaft loss etc. The fault can be eliminated as long as the
clutch is replaced.
Too large starting noise
If rhythmic crash is produced during the start, the possible causes can be the open circuit in
magnetic switch holding coil, starting relay damage, battery electricity shortage or poor pole contact
etc.; if the friction or whistling is constant, the possible causes can be motor sweep chamber caused
by bearing wear, armature shaft bend and rotor out-of-round, or inverter ablation and electric brush
poor contact etc.

324 Overview of Loader Electrical Circuits

Composition of electrical circuits


1. Power circuit
Power circuit is composed of battery, generator, regulator and working condition indicating
devices, circuit protection devices belong to power circuit as well.
2. Starting circuit
A circuit made up of starter motor, starting relay, starting switch, control circuit and starting
protection device.
3. Lighting and light signaling device circuit
This circuit consists of headlight, steering lamps, control relay and switches.
4. Instrument circuit
Instrument circuit is composed of instrument indicators, sensors, alarming lamps and controller.
5. Auxiliary device circuit
A circuit composed of various functional electrical devices used to improve safety and security
of the loader. Generally includes wiper and cleanser system, air condition system, cigarette
lighter and radio.
Circuit analysis
Circuit analysis method focuses on each circuit firstly, and then conducts the study in the order of
from part to whole successively. When study a specific circuit, you should be familiar with the
working principle of this circuit first. Use related connecting principles to analysis and master the
circuit.
Specific methods: You can analysis along the flow direction of working current, namely, from
power source to electric equipment, or you can analysis against the flow direction of working
current, namely, from electric equipment to power source. For some unfamiliar circuits, the latter is
more convenient.
The principles of “break up the whole into parts” and “closed loop circuit” are helpful for
understanding electrical schematic diagrams, also convenient for finding a specific wire between
two devices. This is helpful for troubleshooting electric circuit.
Features of electric circuit diagram:
1. Single wire system is adopted for loader electrical devices, when analyzing the principle of a
circuit, start from the one electrical device and check along the circuit to switches and
protective devices, finally to negative pole of power source. To form a complete loop, all
electrical equipment must be grounded, and do not forget the faults caused by bad grounding
during troubleshooting.

3-18
Service Manual for LG938L Wheel Loader

2. There are two power sources on the loader, namely, generator and battery, in parallel. Circuit
protectors are designed between them.
3. All electrical equipment are connected in parallel and controlled by individual switches. Two
control methods are involved: control power wire and control earth wire.
4. To prevent circuit trouble and electrical equipment trouble caused by short circuit or bad
grounding, all circuits must be designed with protectors.
Diagnosis and elimination of common faults of loader electrical circuit
Common faults in electrical circuit are: short circuit, open circuit, bad grounding, poor contact
connectors and controller failure.
Inspection of electrical circuit conditions
Do appearance inspection of the loader overall electrical circuits after a fault occurred, including:
1. Fixation condition: All electrical equipment and wires should be firmly fixed, outer shell should
be in good condition and parts should be intact.
2. Contact and cleanness condition: Check whether all connectors are tightly plugged, whether
grounding points are tightened, ensure all contact points are free of rust, greasy dirt and
ablation, and all wire surfaces should be free of oil, dirt and dust.
3. Insulation and shield condition: Make sure the insulation coat of the conductor wire is not being
damaged and aged, and exposed area should be properly warped with insulating tape. Make
sure the shielding layer of conductor wire is intact.
4. Fuse protector and relay: All fuses and relays should be firmly installed, and the conductor
wires should in good contact condition. The selected fuses and relays should all complete and
meet the requirements of related rated values.
5. Switch operating condition: Ensure all switches and buttons are flexible and free of jamming
and out of order problem.
Instrument monitoring
Inspect the electrical circuit with instruments or specialized detectors to accurately determine the
fault position and eliminate it. For electrical circuit involved electronic parts and components, it is
strictly prohibited to apply “short circuit method” to examine the circuit, use voltmeter and DC
current lamp instead.
1. Voltage detection
By measuring the voltage relevant component, technical conditions of starting and power system is
able to be determined. As one of the routine maintenance projects, handling the electrical system
correctly is vitally important for troubleshooting.
1.1 Measure the battery voltage: Keep the front lamp on for about 30s to remove the “float
voltage” of battery and then turn off front lamp then connect a voltmeter to positive and
3-19
Service Manual for LG938L Wheel Loader

negative terminals of the battery, its voltage should above 24.5V.


1.2 Check the connecting condition of battery and starter motor by measuring starting voltage.
Turn the ignition key to start the engine, the current-voltage of battery should get to 19.5V
in 15s, if lower than this value, faults may exist in the system: erosion of battery
connectors, bad contact, over discharging of battery or battery failure, or starter motor
failure.
1.3 Check the condition of generator regulator by measuring voltage. Run the engine at
2000r/min, connect a voltmeter to the two ends of battery of generator, the reading should
be within 27.4~29.5V. At this moment, the voltmeter in the cab is also available, it is
normal if the reading is 2V higher than that of before the engine is started. It indicates that
there is fault in regulator if the reading exceeds 30V. To get more accurate result, further
examination should be done: Turn on the headlamp or an auxiliary electrical device at this
point, if the reading lowers than 27V, then possible causes are loosened belt, corrosion of
conductor connectors or bad contact, regulator failure and generator failure.
2. Measure voltage drop in circuit
Voltage drop test can be used to detect conductor wires, battery cables and connectors. Although
ohmmeter is able to measure circuit resistance, the result tends to fail to reflect the fact due to low
voltage and small current. So it is more reasonable to measure voltage drop under normal current to
get circuit resistance indirectly. Set the circuit in working condition and choose a voltmeter of range
0~3V, precision 1.0 or above. Generally normal voltage drop for a normal circuit is 0.1V, no bigger
than 1V for starting circuit.
3. Battery leakage test
Battery leakage test is used to detect the faults of incorrect grounding and destruction of insulation.
Turn off all electrical equipment, measure the current between battery negative and bond strap,
usually no more than 30mA, for loader with electronic control system it shall no more than 300mA,
otherwise it indicates that there is leakage in battery circuit. Possible causes are leakage or bad
insulation in switches or wires, short circuit or oversized leakage in generator diode, faults in
regulator or electronic control unit, switch failure.
4. Inspection of open circuit and short circuit
4.1 Open circuit inspection
Use test lamp or specialized instrument for open circuit inspection, connect the test lamp or
specialized instrument to wire connector and bond strap, turn on related swathes, open
circuit fault exists if lamp cannot be lightened,
4.2 Short circuit inspection
When a short circuit occurs, fuses will be burnt out, be sure to find out the cause before
3-20
Service Manual for LG938L Wheel Loader

replacing the fuse. Common methods:


A Use a ohmmeter
Connect one probe to bond strap, the other to fuse connector, there must be short circuit if
the reading is zero or very small. Disconnect the electrical devices controlled by this fuse
one by one, if the reading increases to normal, then it indicates that the just disconnected
device is in short circuit.
B Use buzzer
There buzzer will ring if there is short circuit. Disconnect the controlled electrical devices
one by one, if the ring stops, then it indicates that the just disconnected device is in short
circuit. (All electrical devices are connected in parallel)
C Check with an interrupter and a magnetic flux gauge
Connect the interrupter to the two ends of fuse, detect the conductor pulsed magnetic field
along the circuit with the magnetic flux gauge, if the pointer stops, then it indicates that
there is short circuit nearby.

Starting switch
1. Starting switch, also called electric lock, is used to control the power on, power off, startup and
flameout of the loader.
Six pins are designed on starting switch, namely B, BR, R1, R2, C and ACC, they are
combined in different ways to fulfil specific functions. Refer to Fig. 3-9 for details.
2. Method to determine whether the electric lock is damaged.
Disconnect electric lock wires and take it down from the loader, then inspect with digital
multimeter omhs 200Ω range, the lock is fine if breakover, otherwise the lock is damaged, and
should be repaired or replaced.
Fuse

3-23
Service Manual for LG938L Wheel Loader

Fuse is an electric protection device with features of simple structure, easy to use and low price.
Fuse is connected in series in the to-be-protect circuit, when overload or short circuit occurs to the
circuit, the fuse will be burnt out to protect other component in the circuit.
When a fuse needs to be replaced, choose a new fuse with the same specifications. Never replace
with a copper wire for emergency. The colors and specifications of fuses are listed below:

Specification Color Specification Color

5A Orange 15A Blue

7.4A Brown 20A Yellow

10A Red 30A Green

Relay
When there is current in relay coil, the coil will generate magnetic field to pull in relay contacts;
when the coil is deenergized, relay contacts will be disconnected.
Method to determine whether the relay is broken: Measure the resistance between pin 85 and pin86
with multimeter ohms range and there should be relatively big resistance, resistance between pin 30
and pin 87 should be infinitely great. Connect pin 86 to positive of DC 24V and pin 85 to negative
of DC 24V, pin 30 and pin 87 should be breakover.
A freewheel diode is designed in the relay, so pin 85 must be grounded, do not ground pin 86,
otherwise the relay wouldn’t be able to work normally.

Service Manual for LG938L Wheel Loader

Voltage stabilizing system is powered via fuse F23, when rocker switch of voltage stabilizing
module is in position “II” and the loader runs at different gears, transmission box controller controls
the current in wire 270 and wire 280 to control on-off of the voltage stabilizing module relay. When
there is current in both wire 270 and wire 280, coil of relay 1 is energized, its contactor contacts pin
87, the contactor of relay 2 connects to its pin 87 as well. Due to relay 1 and relay 2 are differently
connected, when there is current in both wire 270 and wire 280, relay 1 is disconnected in voltage
stabilizing system, while relay 2 is connected, and wire 76a will be powered on, voltage stabilizing
module starts to work. Likewise, when there is current in wire 270 and no current in 280, the
voltage stabilizing module doesn’t work, at this point, the loader is running in forward gear I. When
there is no current in both wire 270 and 280, the voltage stabilizing module works too; when there
is current in wire 280 and no current in 270, the voltage stabilizing module still works.

414 KD Key Function Introduction

(1) KD (Kick-Down) function, i.e. forced downshift function.


There is a button in the end of shifting handle, and it is KD key, which can make the loader
downshift from forward gear II to forward gear I.
(2) Gear I and gear II braking power cut-off function.
In the electric control system, two pressure cut-off switches can be connected (one is the service
brake pressure switch; the other is the emergency/parking brake pressure switch). When the
operator steps on the brake pedal to carry out braking, the service brake pressure switch will
connect the link between the power circuit and the computer (electronic control box) circuit
(equivalent to an electrical signal to the computer), then, the computer commands and activates
transmission control valve, cut off transmission box clutch pressure oil passage, that is to say, cut
off the power from engine to the transmission box. At this point, all the power of engine is
transferred to working pump. Therefore, when the loader is working under gear I and gear II, the
working hydraulic system of the loader will have more sufficient power to excavate, and which will
improve the efficiency of working device.
Besides, when you use the emergency/parking brake button, the emergency/parking brake pressure
switch can also work, pressure switch can connect the power circuit and the computer circuit, then,
the computer commands and activates transmission control valve. That is to say, power from engine
to the transmission box will be cut off when carrying out emergency braking, which can improve
brake performance.
(3) Neutral starting interlock function increases the loader security.
Gear shifting handle is designed and installed in the bottom left of the steering wheel, rotating this
handle can shift between gear I, II, III, IV. As shown in Fig. 4-13, push the handle forward can
achieve the loader moving forward; push the handle backward can achieve the loader moving
backward; when the gear shifting handle is in neutral position, loader will not move.

Fig. 4-13 Gear shifting handle of 4WG158 transmission box

4-11
Service Manual for LG938L Wheel Loader

The engine can be started only when neutral gear is engaged. When engaging in neutral gear and
turning electric lock with a key, an electric signal will sent to starting interlocking relay via the gear
shifting handle, and then starting circuit can be connected, otherwise, the engine can't start.
(4) KD key’s working process of 4WG158 transmission box
Using of KD function (i.e. forced downshift function) can greatly improve the working efficiency of
the loader. During working, the loader starts with gear II; then engage gear III to travel forward;
shift gear II when the bucker gets close to sand/stone pile; when shoveling materials, press KD key
(doesn’t need to turn the gear shifting handle), the loader speed will automatically downshift to gear
I. After the bucket is full loaded, pull the gear shifting handle backward to shift reverse gears, the
loader can be automatically converted to reverse gear II from forward gear I.
Retract the loader to appropriate position, then push the gear shifting handle forward to engage
forward gears, shift the gears according to the following orders: 2R → 2F → 3F → 2F; after the
loader gets to front of the tilting cart, unload the materials to the tilting cart, and then shift the gears
according to the following orders: 2F → 2R → 3R → 2R, the loader back to the starting point. KD
function will be relieved after turning gear shifting handle.
When shoveling materials, the operator doesn't need to turn the handle to choose gears, but
according to the following operations, as shown in Fig. 4-14:

415 Operation and Maintenance for 4WG158 Power Shifting


Transmission Box

1 Notes for use


(1) When checking the oil level of the transmission box, the engine should be running at idle status
(about 1000 r/min), and the oil temperature should be within normal operating temperature.
(2) When the oil temperature is 40oC, the oil level should between the middle and the low scale
line of the oil dipstick.
When the oil temperature is 80oC, the oil level should between the middle and the top scale line
of the oil dipstick.
(3) Strictly follow maintenance requirements, replace the oil of the transmission box and the filter
regularly.
(4) Before starting the engine, ensure that the gear shifting handle is in the neutral position.
(5) Every time before driving, loosen the parking brake (relieve the brake) first.
(6) Connecting and disconnecting of the engine and transmission box, avoid torque converter
dropping down when lifting the transmission box
(7) When parking, put the gear shifting handle in the neutral position.
(8) Normal working oil temperature should be within 80~ 110oC and a short period of time up to
120oC is allowed under heavy load. Pay special attention to the control oil pressure of the
transmission box. If there is abnormal phenomenon occurred in the transmission box, stop and
check immediately.
(9) When the loader has problems and needs welding maintenance, you must unplug the cable on
computer controller—EST (Cut off the circuit leading to computer controller). Otherwise, the
impact current during electric welding may burn the computer controller.
2 Operation
(1) Preparations and maintenance before driving
Before the transmission box running, be sure to add the right amount of transmission oil with
specified brand. When adding transmission box oil for the first time, you must ensure that the oil
radiator, filter and the connecting pipeline are filled up with oil. Thus, the required amount of
transmission oil for the first time is more than that of normal maintenance. Since the oil in the
torque converter installed on the loader flows back to the transmission box through the radiator and
pipelines when the engine stopped, so when checking oil level, the loader should be stopped in
neutral position and let the engine run at idle status to keep the oil in transmission box stay in
normal working temperature.
4-13
Service Manual for LG938L Wheel Loader

The gear shifting handle must be in the neutral position before checking oil level. When checking
the oil level, you should insert the dipstick into the bottom of the pipe. When clean up the filter of
main oil circuit, you should prevent dirt and sediment from entering into the oil circuit. In addition,
use a piece of cover plate to prevent the parking brake soaking by oil.
Don't tighten too hard when installing the filter.
(2) Driving and shifting gears
When starting the engine, you must confirm that the gear shifting handle is in neutral position. For
safety's sake, before the engine started, the loader must be in the braking state, so the loader won’t
move after the engine started. After the engine started, remove parking brake state and adjust
traveling direction, then shift proper gear, stamp the accelerator pedal to move to loader. During
driving, torque converter supersedes main clutch. You can shift high gears when the road is clear.
If the loader has stopped moving and the engine is still running, engage a gear at this point, the
engine may not flameout, and on a flat road, the loader may crawl, that’s because tractive force can
be produced by the torque converter when the engine is running at idle status. The right
countermeasure is: place the parking brake in braking state every time you stop the loader.
If the loader needs to stop for a long time, the gear shifting handle must be in neutral position.
When the loader is travelling, be sure to remove the parking brake state, but what we learned from
experience is that it’s difficult for the operator to immediately find out the parking brake state is not
removed, that’s because the large output torque ratio produced by torque converter, which can
overcome braking torque and force the loader to move even under normal operating conditions.
Then the consequence is the torque converter oil temperature rising sharply and overheated brake.
Due to the influence of the torque converter, when shifting from high gear to low gear, the rotating
speed of engine will increase, especially when some gears are skipped. Therefore, if condition
permits, when shifting from high gear to low gear, the first thing you need to do is stamp the foot
brake and shift after the loader slows down. When changing driving directions at high running
speed, be sure to decrease the engine speed.
(3) Pausing and parking
There is no rigid connection between engine and torque converter output shaft, so when parking on
a slope (up/down) and the driver intends to leave, in order to prevent slide phenomenon occurred,
we suggest that you should not only use the parking brake, but also place wood blocks under the
tires.
(4) Towing
The maximum towing speed is 10 km/h, and the maximum towing distance is 10 km.
When the destination is far away, a truck is needed to transport the malfunctioned loader.
4-14
Service Manual for LG938L Wheel Loader

(5) Oil Temperature


The transmission box oil temperature must be monitored by a temperature sensor. The maximum oil
temperature of torque converter outlet cannot exceed 120oC, for trouble-free control components
and sufficient traveling-mileage transmission box, there will not be a high temperature problem. If
the oil temperature exceeds 120oC, the loader must be stopped, check whether there is oil leakage;
meanwhile, shift the transmission box to neutral position and run the engine at 1200~1500rpm, in
this way, the oil temperature will quickly decrease to normal range (it will take 2 to 3 minutes). If
the oil temperature doesn't decrease, there must be something wrong in the system and you must
exclude the malfunction before operation.
The normal range of the gear shifting oil pressure: 1.6~1.8MPa (16~18bar). In order to monitor the
pressure, a pressure gauge or monitor must be installed. If you engage a gear, and the pressure drops
to lower than the specified minimum pressure (in shifting moment, the pressure will temporarily
drop automatically) after using the clutch, the causes of the pressure drop must be removed. Too
low control pressure can damage the clutch, because there is no enough contact force for the clutch
friction discs, the friction discs will continuously rub each other and lead to overheating.
3 Maintenance
(1) Check the oil level
——Park the loader on a flat place.
——Put the gear shifting handle of transmission box in the neutral position "N", and the parking
brake should in brake position.
——Run the engine at idle status (about 1000r/min).
——Unscrew the oil dipstick anticlockwise, take it out and wipe it clean.
——Insert the dipstick back to the oil level pipe and tighten it; take it out after the dipstick reaches
the end for about 3 second (do the measurement at least twice).
——40oC, the oil level should be between the low scale line "cold" and the middle scale line.
——80oC, the oil level should be between the top scale line "hot" and the middle scale line.

ATTENTION

If the oil level lower than the minimum scale, be sure to add recommended transmission oil
until the oil level get to the required range according to the temperature. Check “Cold level”
can only make sure there is enough circulating flow for transmission box and torque converter,
the final criterion of oil level is to meets “Hot level”.

(2) Oil replacement
After the first 100 working hours of the loader, the oil must be replaced. Since then, replace the oil
at least every 1000 working hours or every year. When replacing the oil, park the loader on a flat
place, the transmission box should be within working temperature, remove the oil draining plug and
seal rings, drain the old oil.

——Press the filter until it contacts the sealing surface, then tighten it for 1/3 to 1/2 circles by hand.
——Refill.
——Start the engine.
——Run the engine at idle status (about 1000r/min), keep transmission box oil within normal
working temperature, and then check transmission box oil level.
——40oC, the oil level should be between the low scale line "cold" and the middle scale line.
——80oC, the oil level should be between the top scale line "hot" and the middle scale line.
——Check whether it is tightened; tighten it again with the hand if necessary.

The function of each component and general fault handling


 Electronic control box
Open the electric locking switch, and the gear shifting handle is in the neutral position, that is, the
electronic control box is in standby state. After the loader started, if you want to shift, turn the gear
shifting handle to select a gear, then the electronic control box can automatically determine whether
can shift to under the condition of the current speed according to the electrical signals from the

4-31
Service Manual for LG938L Wheel Loader

output speed sensors and the gear shifting handle. If the speed difference is too large, the computer
can command the magnetic valve to let the transmission box shift to a workable minimum speed
gear, then shift to the preselected gear by the cycle of 2.5 seconds. For example, when you shift
from gear I to gear III, after the computer receives electrical signals from the gear shifting handle,
then the computer recognizes the speed signals of the speed sensor, judges whether the speed
reaches the preselected gear, if not, automatically passes electrical signals to the magnetic valve
shifting the gear II firstly, when the loader speed reaches 14km/h, then it will shift the gear III
automatically, which can reduce the impact.
 Examples of general faults:
a) When maintaining the loader, after washing the loader with water and find that the loader
cannot shift a gear and couldn’t start. After checking, the circuit connection of electronic
control system is normal, and there is no mechanical failure. Originally when you splash water
to wash the loader, the electronic control box gets damp; after drying, the loader can travel
normally. Therefore, when washing the loader with water, pay attention to waterproof
protection of electronic control box and the handles.
b) The loader was working normally, and after parking to refuel, found that the engine can start,
but the loader couldn’t travel. After checking, the circuit connection of electronic control
system is normal, and gear shifting oil pressure is within the normal range. Later found that the
plug on bottom of electronic control box is not inserted in place. Since on the electronic control
box there is a clamp spring that used to fix the electronic control box’s plug, only when
inserting one end of the wire plug into the pin, there should be a sound of "click" after inserting
the other end, which means the clamp spring has clamped the plug in position. Otherwise when
the loader is running, vibration will cause the plug cannot be inserted tight.

4-32
Service Manual for LG938L Wheel Loader

Electronic control box of 4WG158 transmission box


a) There are faults in the loader structure parts, after welding the loader structure parts, the loader
couldn’t start. After checking, the electronic control box is burnt out.
b) After driving, turn off the electric lock, a few minutes later the timer on the dashboard suddenly
discharges smoke and the loader couldn’t start. After checking, due to violating operating
regulations, turn off the electric lock too early when the engine isn’t flameout, at this time the
generator cannot charge the battery, sometimes the generator produces a very high surge
voltage, instantaneous current may be up to tens of amps, which leads to burn out of the
electronic control box; and if the generator connects battery circuit and can do the charging
work, it can play a role in circuit of voltage stability. Therefore, you should shut electric lock
after the engine totally flameout.
 The output speed sensor
The output speed sensor is used to record the rotation frequency of the output gear; so when shifting
a gear, the computer can compare the preselected speed with the existing speed, and then decides to
shift. Resistance of the output speed sensor is1200±100, if the resistance is 0 or infinitely great, it
indicates the sensor is short circuit or broken circuit and the sensor needs to be replaced.
 Examples of general faults:
a) The loader can shift gear I/II, but couldn’t shift gear III/IV. Inspection method: after turn off the
electric lock, unscrew the plug of the output speed sensor, then use a multimeter to check the
output speed sensor. If the resistance is 0, it shows that the speed sensor is damaged.
b) The loader couldn’t shift any gear. After checking, the oil level is normal, later find that the
cable from the electronic control box to speed sensor is worn out by metal. Rewrap the cable,
and then the loader returns to normal.
 The gear shifting handle
There are two main micro switches inside the handle. Select directions and speed by pushing and
pulling the handle forward and backward and turning the handle cover.
 Examples of general faults:
A customer complained that gear IV, the loader couldn't speed up to normal range. After checking,
the transmission box oil level is normal, and found that the line 8 of the 12-hole plug, which
connecting the gear shifting handle, was loose. It was line 8 contacted poorly. When he shifted to
fourth gear, the computer could only receive the electrical signals of the gear III. Therefore, there
was no gear IV.
 Other typical faults

4-33
Service Manual for LG938L Wheel Loader

After changing the transmission box oil, the loader starts travelling about 20 meters and then
couldn’t run. Shut down and restart the loader, it only can travel 10~20 meters again. After checking,
the circuit of electronic control system is normal and there is no mechanical failure. Later found out
that after changing oil, the user didn’t check the oil level follow the regulations, which results in a
seriously shortage of transmission box oil. After add oil to normal level, the loader can run
normally.

42 Transmission Shaft System

421 Overview of Transmission Shaft

1. Structure and function of universal transmission device


Universal transmission device of the loader is installed between the transmission box and the drive
axle. It usually consists of a universal joint assembly and transmission shaft, etc. (Universal
transmission device is customarily called the transmission shaft assembly). Some loaders also
equipped with intermediate support in universal transmission device. The structures of the front and
rear transmission shafts are shown in the following figures.

Fig. 4-51
1 Hexagon bolt 2 Rear transmission shaft
Since the axes of the loader transmission box output shaft and drive axle input shaft are difficult to
be aligned in line; moreover, during the loader operation process, due to the unfairness road and
work place, the relative position of the two axes changes frequently. So we can’t apply rigid
4-35
Service Manual for LG938L Wheel Loader

connection between the output shaft of the transmission box and the input shaft of the drive axle,
while we must adopt the universal transmission device, which is made of two cross universal joints
and a transmission shaft.
The function of the universal transmission device is to solve the uncoaxiality between the
transmission box and the drive axle, to meet the needs of angle changing between the transmission
box and the drive axle, and pass the power of transmission box to the drive axle.
2. Structure and characteristic of transmission shaft
The transmission shaft is an important part of the universal transmission device, usually used for the
connection between the transmission box and drive axle. Generally speaking, the transmission shaft
is composed of pipe sleeve fork assembly, universal joint fork and spline shaft assembly, etc.
During the operation of the loader, the relative position of the transmission box and drive axle
changes constantly, in order to avoid the movement interference, the transmission shaft has sliding
splined connection parts, which consisting of sliding fork and spline shaft, so that, to realize the
change of the length of the transmission shaft. In order to reduce abrasion, the transmission shaft is
equipped with filling grease oil cup, oil seal and spline sheath, etc. Make sure the lubrication of the
spline shaft in the sleeve fork, and prevent water and dust entering into the sliding spline.

43 Drive Axle System

431 Overview of Drive Axle

Drive axle locates at the end of wheel loader transmission system and it is a general term that
describes all the transmission mechanisms between transmission shaft and driving wheel. Drive
axle is mainly used to transmit the torque of transmission shaft to driving wheels, make the rotate
speed of transmission output reduce and torque increase, and it also works as a differential to realize
differential speed of left side and right side wheels. Moreover, drive axle shell also plays a role of
load-bearing and stress-passing.

432 Maintenance of Drive Axle

1. Check the oil level


——Place the loader horizontally. Wipe up all oil filling positions before checking. Oil draining
shall be carried out after the loader travels for a period of time. When unscrewing the screw to drain
or add oil, be careful of hot oil splashing.
——Types of oil level: When check wheel side oil level, you should rotate wheel hub until the drain
plug is middle horizontal position. Fill oil until there is overflow.
Oil lever of the drive axle: Oil level is subject to overflow of plug hole or the oil filling port.
——Check: After a few minutes, if the oil level drops, add oil, until the oil level reaches to the
regulation lever and remains unchanged.
Check oil level once a month.
2. Change oil
After the new loader running 500 hours, replace the drive axle oil for the first time, since then
change the oil every 1,000 working hours, and oil should be change at least once a year.
If any of the following case is involved, we recommend you to replace the drive axle oil every 500
hours or at least once every six months.
 For loaders, operating brake very frequently or poor working conditions.
 For loaders, the ambient temperature of operating conditions exceeds 40oC.
3. Working temperature
Continuous working temperature for drive axle should not exceed 90oC. If the temperature exceeds
130oC, stop the loader to check the brake system and the drive axle.

44 Diagnosis and Solutions for Common Fault of Transmission System

441 Fault Diagnosis and Solutions for Transmission Box

1. Causes of gear shifting clutch faults


In the transmission box, the clutch is a vulnerable part. When the transmission box clutch engages,
the hydraulic pressure via the piston overcomes the spring force and presses the friction discs. And
the process is that with the increase of the hydraulic pressure, the friction discs and the steel disc
contact and compress gradually.
Every time you shift a gear, friction phenomenon will happen between friction plate and steel disc,
although in the design we have considered using cooling fluid to discharge friction heat, the cooling
effect is limited. As the discs thinning, the clutch requires more hydraulic oil to make the friction
discs and the steel disc full engagement, at this time we must further accelerate the diesel engine.
When the engine speeds up to a high idle speed, the time of the friction discs sliding on the steel
disc will lengthen, and the generated friction heat will be more. If hydraulic oil is heated to high
temperature enough to change the sealing performance of the transmission box, the transmission
box will produce internal leakage. And the internal leakage results in heat increase in two ways:
a) When high pressure oil flows through the sealing leakage area there will be friction, which
makes the oil temperature rise continuously;
b) Oil leakage will reduce the oil flow in the system, in order to fully engage the clutch, hydraulic
pump have to supply more oil to generate the necessary pressure to engage the clutch. That is,
the engine needs to be re-accelerated to make the pump output more oil. This is a vicious circle,
eventually leads to the clutch overheating or burnt, till completely ineffective.
2. Common fault diagnosis and solutions for transmission box and its oil system.
a) Couldn’t shift a gear
Fault analysis: The shifting gear position is inaccuracy; the clutch piston leaks; shift pressure is
low; the oil passage of transmission box is blocked.
Solutions: Re-engage the gear or check the transmission control valve; overhaul and replace the
seal ring; Refer to Fault b) for troubleshooting of low shifting oil pressure fault.
b) The shifting oil pressure is low
Fault analysis: Improper adjustment of the main pressure regulating valve or the spring is broken
to lose efficacy; the oil level of the transmission box is too low; the filter screen and the oil passage
is blocked; the clutch leaks.
Solutions: Re-adjust or change the spring; fill oil to specified level; clean or dredge; repair or

4-50
Service Manual for LG938L Wheel Loader

replace the seal ring.


c) Oil temperature is too high
Fault analysis: Operating time is too long; the oil is insufficient or overmuch; the clutch discs
sliding; the clutch couldn’t be disengaged.
Solutions: Stop the loader or idle running for a period of time; fill oil to overflow; check the oil
pressure and seal ring; check the clutch control oil passage or the position of operating handle.
d) Shifting oil pressure of a certain gear is low
Fault analysis: Damaged piston or seal ring of this gear; blockage or leakage of oil passage.
Solutions: Replace the seal ring; check, clean and eliminate the problem.
e) Disordered gears
Fault analysis: Leakage of the shaft end seal ring.
Solutions: Replace the seal ring.
f) System leakage
Fault analysis: Loose pipe joints; damaged seal ring.
Solutions: Tighten the joints; replace the seal ring.
g) The oil level of transmission box oil sump automatically rises
The reason for this phenomenon is that steering pump or working pump input shaft seal is damaged,
the oil of the hydraulic system flows through the torque converter gearbox to the transmission box
sump, leading to oil level rise. Replace the oil seal if necessary.

442 Fault Diagnosis and Solutions for Drive Axle

1. Drive axle produces abnormal sound


a) The phenomenon and its harm
The abnormal sound manifest in various forms: some sound continuously, some sound
intermittently; some sound when the speed changes, some sound when normal driving; some sound
when uphill, some sound when downhill; some sound dreary, some sound crisp.
The drive axle’s abnormal sound is an abnormal reflection of technical state between the drive axle
parts. If there is abnormal sound problem, the user should promptly identify the causes and
eliminate them, or it may cause bigger troubles even accidents.
b) The causes for drive axle abnormal sound and solutions
The cause of the drive axle sound is almost due to the collision or interference generated by some
parts in the rear axle (including the wheel reducer).
Since different parts in different states produce the sound with different intensity and characteristic,
4-51
Service Manual for LG938L Wheel Loader

you can base on the abnormal sound producing conditions and parts to estimate the sound source
and find out the sound reason.
 One reason is that the noise is produced by the loose connections and damaged parts, and this
kind of sound is much belong to the abnormal friction and collision between the parts, so the
sound is clear;
 The other is that the noise is produced by the abnormality of the bearing fit and gear
engagement.
 The abnormality of the gear engagement is that meshing clearance is too small or too large,
meshing position is not correct, meshing area is insufficient. At this time the gear can produce
continuous and clear sound, which increasing with the increase of rotational speed. The
abnormality of the bearing fit is that bearing clearance is too large or too small. When the
clearance is too large, the bearings can produce continuous sound, which increasing with the
increase of the speed.
 When the rear axle housing produces sound, in addition to checking whether the parts loose or
not, you should first check whether the meshing area of the main transmission bevel gear is
correct or not.
2. Drive axle is overheating
a) The phenomena and its harm
The drive axle overheating is that after the drive axle mechanically works a period of time, its
temperature exceeds the permissible normal temperature range. Generally speaking, when checking
by hand touch, you will have a hot feeling. The overheating mainly produces in the place of drive
axle housing (except the main drive and differential) and wheel reducer. The drive axle overheating
is the same as the abnormal reflection of technical state of the drive axle parts, or cooperative
relationship, or lubrication. You should promptly identify the reasons and eliminate them, in order
to avoid damaging the relevant parts.
b) The causes for drive axle overheating fault and solutions
 Causes: produce more heat; the heat can’t be dissipated in time.
 The heat source of the wheel drive axle mainly is friction heat, and that the friction heat can
only be caused by the too small fit clearance of the relative motion parts. The matching parts of
the drive axle have two categories: one is the bearing, the other is the gear. So the fundamental
cause of the overheating drive axle is too small clearance of bearing fit or of gear engagement.
 The main reason for heat dissipation problem of the drive axle is that the drive axle (and the
wheel reducer) is lack of lubricating oil or the oil is inferior oil. Lack of lubricating oil or
inferior oil not only makes the friction heat generated by the drive axle cannot be dissipated in
4-52
Service Manual for LG938L Wheel Loader

time, but also can make the relative movement parts are in a dry friction state, which makes the
friction heat increase greatly.
 When the drive axle is overheating, we can base on the overheating position to determine the
causes of overheating. If the bearing is overheating, we can ascertain that the fault is caused by
the bearing; when the whole drive axle housing is overheating, the reason may be caused by the
abnormal gear engagement or lubricating oil shortage; you should fill the specific lubricants
timely.
3. Oil leakage of drive axle
a) The phenomena and its harm
The oil leakage of the drive axle occurs mostly in the axle housing and wheel reducer, and mostly
leaking through the seal and the fitting surface.
b) The causes and solutions for oil leakage of drive axle
 The oil leakage of the drive axle mainly is caused by the damaged sealing elements and sealing
gaskets, for the former: such as the oil leakage caused by damaged final drive’s oil sealing; for
the latter: such as the oil leakage of the rear axle housing and wheel reducer fitting surface.
 Check the whether oil sealing is aged, cracked or damaged or not; don't widen the oil seal too
fiercely, to avoid the plastic deformation; try to warm the oil sealing with liquid that has the
same temperature as operating temperature, and then install it with special tools.

This machine adopts full hydraulic wet brake system. During driving, the oil from working pump
flows into the accumulator through prefill valve. When the operator steps on the brake pedal, high
pressure oil stored in accumulator flows through the foot brake valve into front and rear axle wheel
side brakes to push the brake disc pistons, to generate great friction force between friction plates and
brake discs to achieve the purpose of slowing down or parking the vehicle. Loosen the brake pedal
to make the series pedal valve return back to neutral position, and the hydraulic oil in the wheel side
brakes of front and rear axle returns to oil tank through foot brake valve, then the brake will be
released.
The loader adopts double-circuit service brake, and front axle circuit is relatively independent to the
rear one, when a circuit fails, the other brake circuit can still carry out brake, which improves the
vehicle's safety.

511 Prefill Valve

When the oil pressure of accumulator in brake system reaches 138Bar, the prefill valve stops oil
supply to the brake system. When the oil pressure is lower than 114Bar, the prefill valve will turn to
supply oil to the brake system.
During charging the accumulator, oil flow to the next hydraulic component (O port) will reduce
slightly, but this wouldn’t significantly affect the operation of these components and the oil pressure
in the working circuit is guaranteed.

513 Accumulator

Accumulator is used to store pressure oil for braking. Its principle is to store the pressure liquid and
capsule with pressure in a sealed housing and it is used to brake by absorbing and releasing the liquid
due to the changing pressure. When brake pump is working, it injects the pressure fluid into
accumulator through prefill valve to store energy. Then, the gas is compressed in the capsule, so that
the pressure of liquid is the same with that of capsule, to obtain energy reserves. The air in capsules is
nitrogen.

515 Wheel Side Brake

The wheel side brake of this loader is caliper disc brake, which mainly composed of brake disc,
brake caliper and friction plates.

Fig. 5-33 Fig. 5-34
1 Deflating valve (air bleeding valve) 1 Wheel cylinder 2 Friction plate
2 Brake oil pipe 3 Brake disc

When not braking, the clearance between the friction plate and the brake disc is about 0.2mm, and
the brake disc does free rotation along with the wheels.
When braking, the brake oil enters into the four wheel cylinders of each brake caliper through the
oil pipe and inner oil passage. Under the effect of oil pressure, the wheel cylinder piston moves
outward to make the friction plate compress the brake disc, so as to generate braking torque to make
the wheel brake. At this point, the rectangular rubber seal ring edge can generate the trace amounts
elastic deformation under the action of piston friction force.
When release the brake, the oil pressure of wheel cylinder will disappear, and the piston will
self-return depending on elastic force of the rectangular rubber sealing ring to recover its original
clearance, making the friction plate and brake disc out of contact, so the brake is removed.
If the clearance between the friction plate and the brake disc becomes large due to abrasion, so
when braking, after the deformation of rectangular rubber seal ring reaches to its limitation, the
piston still can overcome the friction of seal ring to continue moving under the effect of oil pressure
till the friction plate compresses the brake disc. However, when the braking is removed, the distance
of piston pulled back by the rectangular seal ring is same with the distance before the abrasion of
friction plate, i.e. the brake clearance still remains the standard value. So besides the sealing effect,
the rectangular seal ring can make the piston return and automatically adjust the clearance.

When you press the parking brake switch, the electromagnet will be out of power, and the magnetic
exchange valve will be in the position as shown in Fig. 5-56, and hydraulic oil in the brake cylinder
will flow from port T into the tank through the magnetic valve to carry out braking.
When need to remove the parking brake, press the parking brake relieve switch; the electromagnet
will be electrified, the magnetic exchange valve changes direction, the high pressure oil stored in
the accumulator of parking brake circuit enters into brake cylinder from port A through the
electromagnetic valve port B, at this moment the brake is removed.

ATTENTION
Please refer to the service braking system for the related introduction of accumulator.

It is used to inspect the parking brake circuit oil pressure.
When the brake oil pressure is normal, pull the parking brake switch to carry out the brake, the
parking brake indicator lamp will be on; press the parking brake switch to remove the brake, the
parking brake indicator lamp will be off.
When the air pressure of parking brake circuit is low, the parking brake indicator lamp will be on.
At the moment, there may be something wrong with the parking brake circuit, so you should stop
for inspection.
Emergency brake switch
If the oil pressure in the accumulator of service brake circuit is less than 60Bar, this switch will
automatically cut off the power output, and set the transmission box in neutral. Meanwhile, the
power of parking brake electromagnetic valve is cut off, the hydraulic oil in the parking brake
cylinder returns to oil tank through the parking brake electromagnetic valve, and the parking brake
carries out the brake to make the loader emergency cut-off.

Service brake low pressure alarm switch


In the operation process, if the system fails, which will lead to oil pressure in the accumulator of
service brake circuit lower than 115Bar, the low service brake pressure alarm lamp flashes and at
the same time, the alarm buzzer will sound. At this point, you should stop the operation, and carry
out the examination for loader. To check the loader, the loader should be parked on flat ground, and
lower the work equipment to the ground, and pull the parking brake electromagnetic valve switch.
ATTENTION
In a short time just after the loader is started, brake pressure alarm lamp flashes and the
alarm buzzer will sound. This is because at this time the oil pressure in the accumulator of
service brake circuit is still below the alarm pressure. After the pressure rises and exceeds
alarm pressure, the warning will stop automatically. The parking brake electromagnetic valve
switch can be pressed only after the warning is stopped.

522 Hydraulic Parking Brake Cylinder

Parking brake cylinder is mounted on the front left side of the transmission box, and its rod end is
connected with the brake cam pull rod.
When the system oil pressure is lower than that the brake cylinder spring force or the parking brake
electromagnetic valve switch is pulled up, the spring seat and the piston will be pushed upward due
to action of the spring, to pull the rod of the parking brake device, so that the parking brake device
is engaged to realize the brake of the loader.
When the system oil pressure reaches to the working pressure and the parking brake
electromagnetic valve switch is pressed, the pressure oil will enter the left chamber of brake
cylinder through the parking brake electromagnetic valve, and compress the spring to push the
spring seat and piston toward right end, and push the brake lever to relieve the brake.
WARNING
If the loader is out of order and cannot drive, and needs to be towed, you should remove the
pin of brake cylinder to make the parking brake get loose first.

53 Deflation of Brake System

After overhauling of brake system, there will be air in the pipeline, which will affect brake
performance. So air bleeding must be done after overhaul. Each wheel side brake is designed with
deflating valve (air bleeding valve), do the air bleeding according to the following instructions:
1. Park the loader on flat ground.
2. Set all control handles in neutral and run the engine idly, pull up the parking brake
electromagnetic valve switch.
3. Connect a transparent hose on each deflating valve of front drive axle left and right wheel side
brakes, and put the other end into an oil container.
4. Two personnel works coordinately, one person handles the deflating valve, loosen or tighten it
according to actual situation, and keeps an eye on deflation status; the other handles the brake
pedal. Firstly loosen the deflating valve, and the step the brake pedal to its maximum stroke,
release the pedal until there is large amount of oil overflow, and tighten the deflating valve at
the same time. Do the deflation several times until bubble-free oil overflows.
5. Deflate the rear drive axle in the same way.
6. After the deflation, pull up and press down the parking brake electromagnetic valve switch for
3~4 times to deflate the parking brake circuit.
7. Shut down the engine and pull up the parking brake electromagnetic valve switch. Loosen the

6 Steering System
61 General

The loader is equipped with flow amplifying load sensing steering system actuated by single constant
displacement pump, working pressure of steering system is 14MPa. This system is composed of
steering gear pump, priority valve, load sensing hydraulic steering gear, steering cylinder and
pipelines. It has the advantages of compact structure, high sensitivity, good stability, flexible and
easy operation, shock absorption and free of extra lubricating device.

611 Steering System Principle Description

The principle of hydraulic steering system is illustrated in Fig. 6-1. Steering pump absorbs oil from
hydraulic tank, and the oil enters into port P of priority valve, then the oil flows into steering gear
from port CF of priority valve. When turning the steering wheel, steering gear sends pressure oil
into steering cylinder to carry out front-wheel steering.
When the steering wheel is in neutral
If the engine flameout, the pump will stop supplying; the control spring of priority valve forces the
valve element right to connect CF oil line. After the engine is started, hydraulic oil in the tank flows
into priority valve through steering pump, the priority valve allocates oil to steering gear through port
CF, then it will result in pressure loss when the oil flows through steering gear neutral position
throttling orifice. The two ends pressure of steering gear neutral position throttling orifice pass to two
ends of priority valve element, then the resulting pressure can balance spring force and hydrodynamic
force to enable the valve element stay in an equilibrium position. Since steering gear neutral position
throttling orifice can generate great fluid resistance, very small flow is needed to generate enough
differential pressure to force the valve element left. When the valve element is forced left further,
opening degree of port EF increases, while port CF decreases, at this point, oil flow in CF oil line is
very small and most oil flows through port EF to working hydraulic system.

Service Manual for LG938L Wheel Loader

When steering
When turning the steering wheel, the rotor and stator module of steering gear forms a cyclonical-pin
wheel engagement pair, to act as a meter during power steering, and ensures the oil flow in steering
cylinder is in direct proportion to turning angle of steering wheel. Valve element, valve bush and
valve body forms a follow-up revolute pair, used to control oil flow direction and send control
signal to priority valve to change oil supply rate as the turning speed of steering wheel changes. The
valve bush and steering gear stator is connected with a universal driving shaft to achieve
synchronous rotation, oil enters into port P of steering gear and the valve bush wouldn’t move, and
control valve communicates with valve bush oil channel, then the oil flows into metering motor, the
steering gear rotor starts to turn, valve bush oil channel communicates to valve element oil channel,
oil flows into steering cylinder through port L to push the piston to realize steering. At this point,
feedback force from port LS and the spring force jointly overcome feedback force of port CF to
push the valve element of priority valve, opening degree of priority valve port CF increases and that
of port EF decreases to supply more oil into steering system.

612 Steering Pump

The pump steering system used is a double pump, the front one is steering pump, the rear one is
brake pump. Steering pump is connected to transmission box main PTO, it transmits input
mechanical energy from transmission box into oil pressure energy, and outputs pressure oil flow
into the system. It’s the power source of steering system.

613 Priority Valve

The priority valve is a constant differential reducing component. Regardless of the change in
loading pressure and oil supply, the priority valve can maintain almost the same pressure
differential between two ends of variable orifice, which can ensure the flow valve in the steering
gear always equal to the product of steering wheel rotating speed times steering gear displacement.
Port P of priority valve is connected to steering pump oil outlet hose, port CF is connected to port P
of steering gear, port EF is connected to port P of multitandem valve, and port LS is connected port
LS of steering gear.

Fig.6-6 Steering gear schematic diagram


Steering gear is mainly composed of follow-up rotatory valve and metering motor. Follow-up
rotatory valve consists of valve element, valve bush and valve body; metering motor consists of
rotor and stator. The stator and rotor act as a hydraulic motor during normal steering, it can also act
as a manual pump when there is an engine failure or the oil supply stopped.
Functions of combination valve in steering gear
Inlet check valve: The check valve will be open when oil flows into steering gear. It is used to

6-5
Service Manual for LG938L Wheel Loader

prevent external impact at low steering speed; it can also prevent high pressure oil from flowing
back, which will lead to shake of steering wheel.
Bi-directional overload valve: When the steering cylinder is influenced by external shock,
pressure of oil in the cylinder will rise and if it gets to setting valve (20Mpa) of overload valve, the
valve will open to load off to protect the cylinder.
Bi-directional oil supplementary valve: When the steering cylinder is influenced by external
shock and produced transient negative pressure, the supplementary valve will open immediately and
supply oil to the left chamber or right chamber of steering cylinder to avoid cavitation phenomenon.
Normally bi-directional overload valve is overload when bi-directional supplementary valve opens.

615 Steering Cylinder

Steering cylinder is used to transmit pressure energy of hydraulic oil into mechanical energy of
reciprocal rectilinear motion. The cylinder barrel is fixed on the frame with pin, and steering
function is realized by stretching out and drawing back of cylinder piston. Steering cylinder is
mainly composed of cylinder body, piston rod, cylinder head and seals.

63 Deflation of Steering System

When replacing steering pump, steering gear, priority valve, steering cylinder and the hydraulic
pipes in steering circuit, air bleeding must be done by performing the following steps:
1. Park the loader on maintenance position properly, and then open the filling cap of hydraulic oil
tank.
2. Run the engine at idle for several minutes; do not use any hydraulic function during this
process.
3. After the hydraulic oil is fully circulated, turn the steering wheel left and right within a narrow
range for several times. Be sure not to let the steering cylinder gets to its stroke end.
4. Keep the engine run at idle, turn the steering wheel gently to let steering cylinders stretch out
and draw back in full stroke for 3~5 times to drain the air in the circuit out. If necessary,
disconnect the oil inlet or outlet pipe of steering cylinder to get sufficient draining effect. Do
not build up hydraulic pressure during air draining.
5. After air draining, set the machine and working device in standard position, check the oil level
and tighten the filling cap.
6. Stop the engine, check and ensure there is no leakage in hydraulic circuit.

822 System Description

LG938L air conditioning system consists of refrigeration system, heating system, ventilating system
and pressure control system.
The loader air conditioning system is equipped with two filters: Fresh air filter and return air filter.
Fresh air filter is used to filter out particles of the inlet fresh air, while return air filter is used to
filter the fresh air and recirculated air. Fresh air and recirculated air inlet on-off is controlled by the
air door motor in ventilation unit, and its control panel is located on right side panel in the cab.

Fig. 8-9
1 Engine 2 Air condition compressor 3 Condenser 4 Recirculated air door
5 Return air filter 6 Fan motor 7 Evaporator (with expansion valve)
8 Fan heater 9 Refrigerant flow valve 10 Fresh air filter 11 Temperature sensor
The fan sucks air into the cab through inlet port, and then the air goes through a replaceable fresh
air filter, and then passes the air return filter. After the filtering, the air flows into refrigerator core,
then the heater core, finally diffuses into the cab.
There are three option switches on the control panel. Cab temperature is electrically controlled by
temperature controller, which actuates the refrigerant flow control valve, in order to control the
refrigerant flow rate in evaporator. Air inlet controller (fresh air door motor) controls recirculated
air amount (relatively to fresh air inlet). If you chose for recirculation, the air will flow through the
recirculated air valve. If the controller is set as the largest recirculation, most of the air will be
recycled, and only inhale a small amount of air from the cab external to maintain the cab internal
overpressure.

: Recirculated air
Fig. 8-11
Refrigeration system of the loader is used for refrigerating the air in the cab or fresh air from
outside to lower the temperature in the cab. The operating instructions are as follows:
1. Start the engine;
2. Turn on the power and air volume switches, and then turn the temperature control switch to
“COOL” position, indicator light will be on, the refrigeration process starts.
3. Turn the air volume switch; choose among low speed, intermediate speed and high speed, to get
three different air volumes.
4. When the temperature is reduced to set temperature, rotate the temperature control switch
anticlockwise until the indicator light goes out and the compressor stops working, at this time
the indoor temperature is the set value. When the indoor temperature is above this temperature,
indicator light will on, the compressor will start automatically and the systeem begins to cool;
When the indoor temperature is below this temperature, indicator light goes out and the system
stops working.
5. When using the air condition, please don’t turn the temperature control switch to “COOL”
position and turn the wind switch to low speed at the same time. Because this will cause
evaporator frosting and influence the refrigerant performance.
Heating system of the loader uses the heat energy of the cooling liquid. It introduces the cooling
liquid of the diesel engine to the radiator in the cab and uses the evaporator blower to blow the
heated air to the interior of the cab. At the same time, the heating system cleans the frost and fog on
the front window.
8-6
Service Manual for LG938L Wheel Loader

Heating system instructions:


1. Turn the temperature control switch to “0” or “OFF” position (off state);
2. Start the engine and open the hot water valve;
3. Turn on the air volume switch, select the mode and choose the required wind speed.
Ventilation system of the loader includes natural ventilation and forced ventilation. The natural
ventilation uses the wind pressure produced outside the cab when the loader drives to ventilate;
forced ventilation uses the blower to blow the outside air into the cab.
Pressure system of the loader adopts the high-low pressure switch control. When the pressure of the
air conditioning system is abnormal because of the lack of refrigerant or too high pressure, the
compressor will be switched off to protect the air conditioning system.
Refrigerating fluid for air condition is R-134a (Freon-free environmental refrigerant).
ATTENTION
When refrigerating in summer, please close the hot water valve. When heating in winter,
please close the temperature control switch.

Notes when overhauling refrigerating system:


1. When checking, wear protective glasses or mask as far as possible. Avoid contacting
refrigerant directly which can frostbite body. Once contacting with large number of
refrigerant, rinse the contact part with cold water.
2. Maintain the refrigerating system in well-ventilated place. As the refrigerant is colorless
and odorless, it can make people suffocate because of lack of oxygen.
3. Refrigerant will produce toxic phosgene when meeting flame. Avoid exposing the
refrigerant to fire.
4. In order to avoid the risk of explosion, do not weld or rinse with hot steam near the A/C
pipeline or components.
5. When replacing the components, keep the connector and inner chamber of system clean.
Follow the criterions as shown in Table 8-6 to replenish refrigerating engine oil.

Service Manual for LG938L Wheel Loader

The working device hydraulic system is composed of multitandem valve, pilot valve, pressure
selection valve, boom cylinders, bucket cylinder, hydraulic oil tank and pipeline accessories.
The multitandem valve is a triple valve, one part for bucket, one for boom and the third one is a
reserved slide valve for further hydraulic functions.

921 Median Function of Multitandem Valve

When set the pilot handle in neutral position, no control oil flows into multitandem valve. The slide
valves of multitandem valve keep in neutral position under spring force. At this point, the pumped
oil flows back to hydraulic oil tank through multitandem valve directly.

Fig. 9-4 Oil circuit when multitandem valve in neutral

922 General Functions

When operate the pilot handle to carry out forward tilt, backward tilt of bucket or lift, falling of
boom, the corresponding control port of corresponding slide valve on main control valve will
receive the control oil sent by pilot valve. The control oil pushes slide valve to allow high pressure
oil from working pump flowing into the corresponding cylinder to get the action we need.
The move of slide valve is proportional to control oil pressure; its displacement is determined by
control oil pressure and the built-in spring.

Service Manual for LG938L Wheel Loader

When pilot handle is in limiting position of “boom lowering”, on the one hand, pilot valve sends a
control pressure to boom part of the multitandem valve to keep the boom part stay in “boom
lowering" position; on the other hand, the pilot valve makes the logical valve in boom rod-side
chamber connect to hydraulic tank, at this point, the logical valve is open. The rod-side chamber of
boom is connected to oil return line, and zero-pressure idle loop is formed in the system. The boom
cylinder works in free floating state under the action of working device’s weight and ground acting
force.

924 Hydraulic Safety Functions

When bucket cylinder or boom cylinder is under big external force, high oil pressure will be formed
and exert force on pipelines. This kind of pressure must be released safely to protect hydraulic
components. When the oil pressure rises to a certain value, the main safety valve in main control
valve will open to release high pressure oil automatically.
When the bucket tilts forward accidentally, the pressure of oil in bucket cylinder piston-side
chamber will increase, if it exceeds settling value of the corresponding overload valve in
multitandem valve bucket part, the high pressure oil in bucket cylinder piston-side chamber will
flow back to hydraulic tank through overload valve; meanwhile, negative pressure will be formed in
the rod-side chamber, oil in the return chamber will flow back to offset the negative pressure
through the oil supplementary check valve.
When the bucket tilts backward accidentally, the pressure of oil in bucket cylinder rod-side chamber
will increase, if it exceeds settling value of the corresponding overload valve in multitandem valve
bucket part, the high pressure oil in bucket cylinder rod-side chamber will flow back to hydraulic
tank through overload valve; meanwhile, negative pressure will be formed in the piston-side
chamber, oil in the return chamber will flow back to offset the negative pressure through the oil
supplementary check valve.
Another function of the bi-directional overload oil supplementary valve: When the bucket is totally
forward tilt and operate to lift the boom, the piston of bucket cylinder will be forced to extend due
to uncoordinated movement of working device, so the pressure of oil in bucket cylinder rod-side
chamber will increase. At this point, rod-side double-acting safety valve begins to work to release
pressure. When the bucket is totally backward tilt and operate to lower the boom, the piston of
bucket cylinder will be forced to retract, so the pressure of oil in bucket cylinder piston-side
chamber will increase and negative pressure will be formed in rod-side. At this point, piston-side
double-acting safety valve begins to work to release pressure and oil in rod-side chamber pipeline
will flow back to offset the negative pressure. By this way, the working device interaction problem
can be solved, which makes the system more stable.

Service Manual for LG938L Wheel Loader

925 Auto Reset Function

Automatic reset system is composed of two parts, boom limit control system and bucket flat control
system. When the boom is lifted to limiting position or the bucket is turned to horizontal position,
the boom or bucket proximity switch will send electrical signal to deenergize the coils of pilot valve,
and the multitandem valve goes back to neutral position, so the boom can stay in limiting position
or the bucket can stay horizontal.

2. Before installing a dust ring, crimp the ring in the way showing in ① first, install it in the way
showing in ② will very difficult and more likely to fall off after assembly.
3. When installing piston seals, the opening positions of two neighboring seals should be
staggered for more than 90o.
4. Removed seals should not be reused.

Fig. 9-97
Inspection and clean of disassembled hydraulic cylinder
1. Check after disassembling
Clean the parts first, and then check whether there is wear, crack or other problems by visual.
2. Maintenance method
Check all the seals and components to see whether there is too much damage or wear.
Comply to the following procedures to correct the piston rod problem: Planish the axial scratch with
an oilstone. If the scratch is too depth that can embed a nail, replace the rod immediately. If there is
smooth dent, planish the protrudent around with oilstone to adjust; if the dent is too big, replace or
re-plate the rod immediately.
Important! Repolish the rod after re-plating, the re-plating thickness should be at least
0.25mm.
Attention! If the base metal is hurt during planishing, then the rod must be re-plated.
3. Maintenance guides

936 Other Hydraulic Components

Pressure selection valve


Pressure selection valve is installed in pilot oil circuit, mainly composed of valve body, valve
element and spring. Port P1 communicates with prefill valve port O, port P2 is connected to boom
cylinder piston side chamber, P2 is oil outlet port and connected to pilot valve, port T is oil return
port.

P3

P2

P1

Fig. 9-130
The function of pressure selection valve: supply control oil (with a certain pressure) to pilot valve;
ensure boom falling to the ground when the engine flameout.
During working, oil from prefill valve port O goes into port P1 of selection valve, and then flows
into pilot valve through valve element center hole and oil outlet port P2. When pressure of oil in
port P2 is larger than 1.5MPa, pressure selection valve element will move to left to cut off the
channel between P1 and boom cylinder piston-side chamber. Port P3 is designed with a build-in
check valve to prevent oil reflux.
When the engine flameout, port P1 has no pressure oil supply, and the valve element return back to
its original position, where port P1 and P3 communicate with each other. At this point, if the boom
is in raising state and operation handle in neutral, oil in boom cylinder piston-side chamber will be
sealed. Push the handle to boo falling position by this time, oil in boom cylinder piston-side
chamber will go into port P3 and its build-in check valve, and then flows into pilot valve to set the
9-58
Service Manual for LG938L Wheel Loader

multitandem valve in “boom falling” position through port P2, and boom can be lowered. During
this process, the valve element can ensure that oil pressure from port P3 to pilot valve is about
1.5MPa; if oil pressure in outlet port P2 increases, valve element will be forced left to enlarge
throttle damping to decrease oil flow rate from port P3, thereby oil pressure in outlet port P2 will be
decreased to desired range, the realization of pressure control is fulfilled.

95 Independent Radiating Hydraulic System

951 System Overview

Independent radiating hydraulic system of LG938L wheel loader is composed of radiating pump,
temperature controlled wind-cooling control valve, radiating motor and sensors. Compared to
traditional radiating method, rotating speed of radiator fan of this system can be controlled
independently of engine speed, which can meet the needs of better radiating performance, and also
can realize more accurate temperature control. Moreover, it’s more safe, reliable and low-noise.
Radiating gear pump sucks oil from oil tank, hydraulic oil flow into temperature controlled
wind-cooling control valve through the filter, this valve can control oil flow according to signal sent
by electronic control system, in this way, rotating speed of hydraulic motor can be controlled.
Adjusted pressure oil drives the motor to rotate the fan, and the fan is used for radiating. In the
meantime, electrical control components are used to monitor torque converter oil temperature,
transmission oil temperature, working device hydraulic oil temperature and engine water
temperature, any of these temperatures reaches settling value will lead to electrical signal produced
in electronic component, the signal can control relief pressure of temperature-control wind-cooling
control valve, adjust oil flow to hydraulic motor, to realize different rotating speed under different
temperature for hydraulic motor and fan.
The system is equipped with manual forced cooling switch and automatic fault detection warning
device at the same time, use the switch to carry out forced cooling if necessary. When short circuit
or open circuit of temperature sensor is detected by the controller, the fan will rotate the fastest and
the buzzer will warn.

Hydraulic motor for independent radiating system is gear motor, its structure is exactly similar to
that of gear pump. But for gear motor, its oil inlet and outlet port must be equal and symmetry to
meet the requirement of positive & negative rotating, therefore it cannot be designed with an oil
drainage path that guide the leakage oil back to oil absorption chamber as a gear pump do, and an
independent external drainage port must be designed with to guide leakage oil out.

connected to hydraulic tank.
Turn boom stabilization module rocker switch off and electromagnetic exchange valve 3 will be
deenergized, and the state of pilot operated directional control valve 5 is shown in Fig. 9-165. At
this point, accumulator 1 will charged to maximum pressure when raising the boom.
Turn boom stabilization module rocker switch on and the machine is in gear II, III or IV,
electromagnetic exchange valve 3 will be energized. High pressure in accumulator 1 will force the
pilot operated directional control valve 5 left through check valve and throttle 6, to make boom
cylinder piston-side chamber communicate with accumulator 1, and boom cylinder rod-side
chamber communicate with hydraulic tank. At this point, boom cylinder is in non-cavitation buffer
state. Boom stabilization module can significantly improve driving stability and comfort.

98 Service Precautions For Working Hydraulic System

The most common fault for high-pressure and high-precision hydraulic devices is that fouling (alien
material) occurs in the hydraulic circuit. Thus, pay special attention to the cleanliness when adding
hydraulic oil or removing and refitting the hydraulic devices.

1. Pay attention to working environment.


Avoid adding hydraulic oil, replacing filter or
repairing machine in rain or at windy and dirty
place.
2. Removing and servicing machine on outdoor
site.
Chances are that fouling will enter the
equipment if removal and service are done on
Fig. 9-169 outdoor site; moreover, it is difficult to
appraise equipment’s performance after
eliminating the faults. So this is only suitable
for replacing components. Removal and
service of the hydraulic devices should be
conducted in special dust-free workshop and
the performance of the hydraulic devices
should be appraised with special testing
device.
3. Seal up the openings.
After removing the pipes or components, all
openings should be sealed with cap, adhesive
paper or plastic bag so as to prevent fouling or
dirt from entering them. If you let the openings
be exposed or clogged with rags, fouling is
liable to get into them or the leaking oil will
stain the surrounding places, which is not
allowed to happen. Instead of draining oil on
Fig. 9-170
the ground, you should collect the drained oil
and take it back to handle it on your own.

9-78
Service Manual for LG938L Wheel Loader

4. Prevent any fouling or dirt from entering the


system during the oil refilling operation.
Prevent any fouling or dirt from being mixed
into the hydraulic oil when refilling hydraulic
oil and be sure to keep the oil filler and the
surrounding surface clean as well as use clean
oil pump and container. Utilizing oil cleaning
device will filter the fouling deposited during
the storage period from the oil, which is more
Fig. 9-171 effective for refilling oil.
5. The hydraulic oil should be changed when the
oil temperature is high.
When the hydraulic oil or other oil is hot, their
fluidity is good and the deposited sludge is
easy to be flushed away by the oil. Therefore,
it is recommended to change oil when the oil is
hot. Discharge the old oil fully (not only the
oil in the hydraulic oil tank but also the oil in
the filter and plugs of the pipeline) as possible
as you can when changing oil. If there is old
oil residual, the fouling and deposited sludge
will be mixed with the new oil, shortening the
service life of the new oil.
6. Flushing operation
The fouling, oil sludge and old oil in the

Rinsing hydraulic oil circuit should be flushed away


oil with rinsing oil when changing oil after the
disassembly and assembly of the hydraulic
devices. Normally, flushing is conducted for
two times: primary flushing with rinsing oil
and secondary flushing with specified
hydraulic oil.
Fig. 9-172

9-79
Service Manual for LG938L Wheel Loader

7. Cleaning operation
Get rid of the sludge and fouling in the
hydraulic oil circuit with oil cleaning device
after repairing the hydraulic device (pump,
control valve, etc.) or when the machine is
operating. The oil cleaning device is used to
remove the ultrafine granule (about 3 chuan)
that cannot be removed by the filter in the
hydraulic device, which is a very effective
Fig. 9-173 cleaning tool.
8. Torque requirements
The securing operation should be conducted in
strict accordance with the torque required in
this manual during the process of removal,
refitting and service of the hydraulic system.
Excessive or insufficient torque will lead to
hydraulic oil leakage.
ATTENTION
For the torque that is not indicated, please refer
to relevant requirements in Chapter 0 Overview
of this manual.
9. Bleeding of working hydraulic system
After replacement of hydraulic pump,
hydraulic cylinder, hydraulic pipe, joint and all
kinds of valves, bleeding operation must be
done.
The specific bleeding methods are as follows:
1) Open the filler cap of hydraulic tank.
2) Start the engine; run the engine at idle for
5 minutes, and then retract and extend all
cylinders from bottom for about 2~3 times,
keep the stroke within 50~60 mm.
3) Keep the engine run at low speed, and
then retract and extend all cylinders fully
9-80
Service Manual for LG938L Wheel Loader

for about 3~5 times to bleed the air in


hydraulic circuit.
4) After the bleeding, set the machine and
working device in standard position, check
hydraulic oil level and tighten the filler
cap.
5) Shut down the engine, check for leakage.

9-81
Service Manual for LG938L Wheel Loader

99 Diagnosis and Solutions for Common Faults of Hydraulic System

991 Unexpected Forward Tilt of Bucket

Fault phenomena: When operation handle of pilot valve is in neutral position, the bucket tilt
forward unexpectedly.
Fault analysis: Due to link mechanisms are used in working device, when the bucket is under
retract state and operation handle of pilot valve is in neutral position, the bucket cylinder piston-side
chamber will suffer extra force caused by self-weight. At this point, if there is leakage in piston-side
chamber, it will result in unexpected forward tilt of bucket.
Six situations can cause the leakage in piston-side chamber of bucket cylinder:
1. Obvious external leakage exists in pipelines, joints and fitting surfaces from the piston-side
chamber to multitandem valve.
2. Multitandem valve bucket slide vale part fails to go back to neutral position (due to valve
element gets stuck, valve element of pilot valve cannot reset or there are faults exist in the
valve body, such as sand holes and grooves that connect to piston-side chamber).
3. While inner leakage exists in bucket cylinder, leakage also exists from rod-side chamber to oil
outlet port.
4. Low overload pressure for bucket cylinder piston-side overload valve (may caused by damaged
pressure adjusting spring, valve element stuck in open position, dirt exists in the conical fitting
surface between valve element and valve body, or there are defects exist in the valve body, such
as sand holes and grooves that connect to piston-side chamber).
5. Leakage exists in bucket cylinder piston-side oil supplementary valve (may caused by damaged
reset spring, valve element stuck in open position, dirt exists in the conical fitting surface
between valve element and valve body, or there are defects exist in the valve body, such as sand
holes and grooves that connect to piston-side chamber)
6. Excessive wear of selector valve body or element, which result in fit clearance between valve
body and valve element is far more than design value.
Diagnosis and solutions:
1. Six situations that cause leakage are listed above and the simplest and easiest to diagnose is the
first one: Start the machine and lift the boom to a certain height, retract the bucket to its
extreme position, and then observe the pipelines, joints and fitting surfaces from the piston-side
chamber to multitandem valve to find out whether there are obvious external leakage
phenomena exist.

2. If the first situation is being excluded, consider the second situation: Start the machine and
operate pilot valve handle to lift the boom to highest position, and retract the bucket to its
extreme position, and then shut down the engine, disassemble the two pilot pipes that
connected to two ends of multitandem valve bucket slide vale part. At this point, if the
unexpected forward tilt phenomenon disappeared, then we can come to a conclusion that the
fault is caused by pilot valve, which causes multitandem valve bucket slide vale part fails to go
back to neutral position. Disassemble and clean the pilot valve or replace it. Otherwise, check
the third situation.
3. For the third situation, we can do some simple check: Start the machine and operate pilot valve
handle to lower the boom to lowest position, and retract the bucket to its extreme position, and
then shut down the engine, disconnect bucket cylinder piston-side rubber hose and diver it to
hydraulic oil tank. Start the machine again, operate the pilot valve handle to backward tilt the
bucket, observe whether there is oil comes out from piston-side oil port continually. If there is,
which means server inner leakage exists in bucket cylinder, the cylinder needs to be repaired or
replaced. Otherwise, check the fourth and fifth situations.
4. For the fourth and fifth situations, method of pressure detection can be used: Connect a
0-250Bar pressure gauge to gauge port of bucket cylinder piston-side chamber. Start the
machine and operate pilot valve handle to extend the bucket to its extreme position; step on the
gas and operate pilot valve handle to lift the boom, at the same time, check whether the reading
on the gauge reach the design value when the boom is lifting. If not, either situation mentioned
in the first place is possible, the overload valve or oil supplementary valve for bucket cylinder
piston-side chamber need to be checked and cleaned.
5. If situation 1 to situation 5 have been excluded and the fault still exists, then stop the machine,
low boom and bucker to lowest positions and disassemble multitandem valve bucket slide
valve part, look through the valve element, valve opening and their fitting situation.
6. Excessive wear of selector valve body or element, which results in fit clearance between valve
body and valve element is far more than design value.

992 Boom Sinking

Fault phenomena: When operation handle of pilot valve is in neutral position, the boom sinks
automatically and exceeds allowed range.
Fault analysis: When the boom is lifted and stays in a certain height, the boom cylinder piston-side
chamber will suffer extra force caused by self-weight. At this point, if there is leakage in piston-side
chamber, the boom will fall automatically.

Five situations can cause the leakage in piston-side chamber of boom cylinder:
1. Obvious external leakage exists in pipelines, joints and fitting surfaces from the piston-side
chamber to multitandem valve.
2. Multitandem valve boom slide vale part fails to go back to neutral position (due to valve
element gets stuck, valve element of pilot valve cannot reset or there are defects exist in the
valve body, such as sand holes and grooves), which cause boom cylinder rod-side chamber
connect to pump, or piston-side chamber connect to oil return port.
3. While inner leakage exists in boom cylinder, leakage also exists from rod-side chamber to oil
outlet port.
4. Malfunctioned selector valve of control oil combination valve, (caused by machining defects,
jammed valve element, inner leakage of pilot valve or defects exist in the valve body, such as
sand holes and grooves), which make selector valve element fail to cut off the channel between
boom cylinder piston-side chamber and combination valve and pilot valve, result in leakage in
piston-side chamber of boom cylinder.
5. Excessive wear of selector valve body or element, which results in fit clearance between valve
body and valve element is far more than design value.
Diagnosis and solutions:
1. Six situations that cause leakage are listed above and the simplest and easiest to diagnose is the
first one: Start the machine and lift the boom to a certain height, and then observe the pipelines,
joints and fitting surfaces from the piston-side chamber to multitandem valve to find out
whether there are obvious external leakage phenomena exist.
2. If the first situation is being excluded, consider the second situation: Start the machine and
operate pilot valve handle to lift the boom to highest position, and retract the bucket to its
extreme position, and then shut down the engine, disassemble the two pilot pipes that
connected to two ends of multitandem valve bucket slide vale part. At this point, if the boom
sinking phenomenon disappeared, then we can come to a conclusion that the fault is caused by
pilot valve, which causes multitandem valve boom slide vale part fails to go back to neutral
position. Disassemble and clean the pilot valve or replace it. Otherwise, check the third
situation.
3. For the third situation, we can do some simple check: Start the machine and operate pilot valve
handle to lift the boom to highest position, and retract the bucket to its extreme position, and
then shut down the engine, disconnect boom cylinder rod-side rubber hose and divert it to
hydraulic oil tank. Start the machine again, operate the pilot valve handle to higher the boom,
observe whether there is oil comes out from rod-side oil port continually. If there is, which

means server inner leakage exists in boom cylinder, the cylinder needs to be repaired or
replaced. Otherwise, check the fourth situation.
4. For the third situation, we can do some simple check: Start the machine and operate pilot valve
handle to lift the boom to highest position, and then shut down the engine. Open pilot valve oil
return port, and observe whether there is oil comes out. If there is, which means inner leakage
of pilot valve causes the fault, the pilot valve needs to be repaired or replaced. Otherwise; if
there is not, then open combination valve oil return port and check whether there is oil comes
out, if there is, which means inner leakage of combination valve causes the fault, the
combination valve needs to be repaired or replaced.
5. If situation 1 to situation 4 have been excluded and the fault still exists, then stop the machine,
low boom and bucker to lowest positions and disassemble multitandem valve boom slide valve
part, look through the valve element, valve opening and their fitting situation.

993 Boom Lifting Slowly

Fault phenomena: When the diesel engine is running under rated speed, operate pilot valve handle
to lift the boom from lowest to highest position, the time it needed exceeds full load lifting time.
Fault analysis: Consider the characteristics of Hydraulic power units, the reason for boom lifting
slowly: insufficient flow from hydraulic pump to cylinder.
Ten situations are listed below that may cause insufficient flow from hydraulic pump to
cylinder:
1. Severe external leakage exists in joints, pipelines, valves and fitting surfaces from pump to
boom cylinder piston-side chamber.
2. The hydraulic oil contains a lot of bubble or turns black, or goes bad, and its viscosity has been
changed.
3. Blocked oil absorption filter or oil absorption pipe, which make the working pump hard to suck
oil.
4. Severe inner leakage exists in working pump.
5. Severe inner leakage exists in boom cylinder (caused by cylinder scoring or damaged sealing
element).
6. Severe inner leakage exists between boom cylinder piston-side chamber and combination valve
oil return port through selector valve.
7. Low adjusting pressure of multitandem valve main safety valve (caused by damaged pressure
adjusting spring, valve element stuck in open position, or there are defects exist in the valve
body, such as sand holes and grooves that connect to oil return chamber).
9-85
Service Manual for LG938L Wheel Loader

8. Severe inner leakage exists between oil inlet channel an oil return channel of multitandem
valve body (caused by sand hole or breakage of valve body).
9. Excessive wear of selector valve element or valve opening of multitandem valve boom slide
valve part, which result in fit clearance between valve body and valve element is far more than
design value.
10. Insufficient opening of multitandem valve (due to selector valve element gets stuck, valve
element of boom cylinder piston-side pilot valve cannot reset or there are sand holes and
grooves exist in the valve body, or low setting pressure of combination valve that result in
insufficient pilot pressure).
Diagnosis and solutions:
1. For all situations mentioned above, firstly, we should start the machine and lift the boom, check
out whether there is obvious external leakage exists in pipelines, joints and fitting surfaces from
working pump to boom cylinder piston-side chamber.
2. If there is no severe external leakage, then basic inspection should be done: Whether the
hydraulic oil level is above “LOW” level, whether there is too much bubble in hydraulic oil or
the oil turns black. Add hydraulic oil if necessary; if the oil turns bad, clean the tank and the
whole hydraulic system, and then replace the oil.
3. If the hydraulic oil is good, then start the machine and operate pilot handle to retract the bucket,
at the same time, listen carefully and check whether there is screaming in working pump. If
there is, which means the pump have severe oil absorption problem, check and clean oil
absorption filter and rubber hoses.
4. If there is no screaming phenomenon, check the forth situation: Start the machine, operate the
pilot valve to load the pump for 1-2 minutes, then shut down the engine; carefully touch the
shell of working pump, if it feels too hot, then we can come to a conclusion that severe inner
leakage exist in working pump, which causes the oil shortage problem.
5. For the fifth to ninth situations, we need to do some simple tests first: Connect a 0-25Bar
pressure gauge to gauge port of multitandem valve P port. Start the machine and operate pilot
valve handle to pressurize the hydraulic system, at the same time, check whether the reading on
the gauge reach the design value. If not, check situation 5 to 9 one by one.
6. For the fifth situation, start the machine and operate pilot valve handle to lower the boom to
lowest position, and retract the bucket to its extreme position, and then shut down the engine,
disconnect boom cylinder piston-side rubber hose and divert it to hydraulic oil tank. Start the
machine again, operate the pilot valve handle to lower the boom, observe whether there is oil

comes out from piston-side oil port continually. If there is, which means server inner leakage
exists in boom cylinder, the cylinder needs to be repaired or replaced.
7. For situation 6: Shut down the engine and operate pilot valve handle to lower the boom to
lowest position, then reverse the check valve between boom cylinder piston-side chamber and
combination valve.
8. For situation 7: Check and clean main safety valve, if there is irreparable damage for valve
element or valve body, please replace the safety valve.
9. If situation 5 to 7 are being excluded and the system pressure still fails to reach design value,
then focus on situation 8 and 9. Disassemble multitandem valve boom slide valve part, look
through the valve element, valve opening and their fitting situation.
10. If the hydraulic system pressure reaches design value but the boom still lifting slow, check the
tenth situation:
a) Operate pilot valve handle to lower the boom and bucket to their lowest positions, and then
open the spring-free end cover(the one with short axial dimension) of multitandem valve
boom slide valve part, force the valve element to do axial movement, check whether the
rod can get to the right positions, whether it can return to neutral position smoothly.
b) Exchange control oil pilot pipes of bucket slide valve part and boom slide valve part, then
start the machine and operate pilot valve, check whether the boom can be lifted normally.
If it turns normal, check and clean pilot valve of multitandem valve boom slide valve part.

994 Lifting Incapacity of Boom

Fault phenomena: When the diesel engine is running under rated speed, operate pilot valve handle
to lift the boom under full load, the boom fails to be lifted.
Fault analysis: The most direct reason for lifting incapacity of boom is low pressure of boom
cylinder piston chamber.
Primary reasons for low pressure in boom cylinder piston chamber:
1. Low overload pressure for main safety valve of multitandem valve (caused by damaged
pressure adjusting spring, valve element stuck in open position, or there are defects exist in the
valve body, such as sand holes and grooves that connect to oil return chamber).
2. Severe inner leakage of working pump, due to that the system cannot build up pressure or the
system pressure cannot reach design value.
3. Severe inner leakage exists in boom cylinder (caused by cylinder scoring or damaged sealing
element).

9-87

4. Severe inner leakage exists between oil inlet channel an oil return channel of multitandem
valve body (caused by sand hole or breakage of valve body), making that the system cannot
build up pressure or the system pressure cannot reach design value.
