1.1 DESCRIPTION OF MECHANICAL GEARBOX CONTROL

Mechanical gearbox control
As a result of the use of different engines,

gearboxes and cabs there are many different

versions of the operating mechanisms of the

mechanical gearboxes.

The operating mechanism must be adjusted in

such a way that the gearbox does not jump out of

gear and engaging gears is not too heavy. The

operating mechanism must not touch any other

vehicle parts during operation.

The various types of operating mechanism can

be classified on the basis of the number of

adjustable points:

-

2 adjustment options

-

4 adjustment options

Before carrying out the adjustment, the gear lever

must be fixed in the neutral position. This is done

using the special tool. The operating mechanism

is then adjusted so that everything can be fitted

without tension.

The versions with 4 adjustment options have two

adjustable control rods that must be of a specified

length. The versions with two adjustment options

must be adjusted in such a way that everything

can be fitted without tension.

Operating mechanism, RHD
For 5, 6 and 9-gear boxes in combination with a

4 or 6-cylinder engine the operating mechanism

is the same. Small differences in length and/or

shape are possible, however.

All operating mechanisms used have

2 adjustment options.

Operating mechanism, LHD
For 5 and 6-gear boxes in combination with a

4-cylinder engine the operating mechanism has

2 adjustment options.

For 6 and 9-gear boxes in combination with a

6-cylinder engine the operating mechanism has

4 adjustment options.
