TRANSMISSION OVERVIEW

Driving Dynamics plays a role in achieving the best possible gear (shift Schedule) to try and obtain
the highest possible gear at the soonest time for the main purpose of fuel economy.

Up until Tier 2B emissions the optimum horsepower was achieved at an rpm range of 1600 – 1800
and the transmission matched this in the program.

With the introduction of the Tier 3 emissions engine this horsepower range changed to 1400 – 1600
rpm however the transmission program is still based on the 1600 – 1800 rpm range.

With the introduction now of the Tier 4 emissions engine this rpm range has changed yet again not
matching the transmission program.

Of course this all mainly comes in to play when driving the crane in conditions not normal to level
highway travel. Drivers must know that this transmission is still a manual transmission and must be
treated that way when conditions such as higher then normal upgrades or downgrades are
encountered while driving or stop and go travel such as city driving.

Note: GMK’s currently and in the past have used Single speed drop boxes and Two speed drop boxes.

Virtually 85% of parts in a EAS transmission are the same as a EPS III transmission.

TRANSMISSION OVERVIEW

Transmission Faults can be categorized into “Won’t Shift Faults” and “Can’t Shift Faults”.

Won’t shift faults is normally based on Driving Dynamics or a false input.

Example would be many 5100’s when in dolly mode experience a short in the dolly lights giving a
false brake input thus not allowing the transmission to upshift. The transmission is physically able to
shift but logic will not allow it to.

A Can’t shift fault is normally caused by a mechanical, air or hydraulic problem.

Example would be that all the driving dynamics are ok however transmission will not shift due to lack
of air, it wants to shift but can’t.

MERCEDES CANBUS INFO

CANBUS Systems in the ATEGO-2 AND AXOR-2 Cabs

The difference between the CANBUS systems is the speed at which they transmit data. For data transmission, the 
measurement is called “KiloBaud” (KBaud). One KBaud equals 1000 bits per second. U = Volts

K‐Line CAN                   U‐supply   =   24.0V          This is the data line with the lowest data speed at 9.6 KBaud
U‐high       =   22.0V          It connects the instrument cluster and the diagnostic plug.
U‐low        =     2.0V

Chassis, Brake              U‐supply   =     5.0V           Vehicle and Brake CAN is at 500 Kbaud
Vehicle, Telematic       U‐high       =     3.5V           Chassis and Telematic CAN is at 250 Kbaud
Tachograph CAN’s       U‐low        =     1.5V           Tachograph CAN is at 125 KBaud

Interior CAN                 U‐supply   =     5.0V           Interior CAN is at 125 Kbaud
U‐high       =     4.8V
U‐low        =     0.3V

Engine CAN &              U‐supply   =   24.0V           Engine CAN is at 125 Kbaud
Transmission CAN       U‐high       =   16.0V           Transmission CAN is at 250 Kbaud
U‐low        =     8.0V
