AUTOMATIC NEUTRAL

The transmission shall be provided with circuitry to provide automatic neutral.  Setting the parking brake commands the transmission to neutral when the park brake is applied, regardless of drive range requested on the shift selector.  Requires re-selecting drive range to shift out of neutral.

After the transmission has been activated with the automatic neutral feature the shift lever must be returned to neutral and back to drive for midship pump operations.

REMOTE FLUID LEVEL SENSING

The chassis shall be equipped with an electronic low fluid level indicator system for the engine oil, transmission oil, engine coolant and power steering fluid as part of the instrumentation package.  This system eliminates the need for daily checking of fluid levels with manual dipsticks.

Coolant over temperature sensors are only capable of sensing excessive coolant temperature caused by clogged radiators, malfunctioning thermostats, failed water pumps or any other “circulation” problem.  Upon loss of coolant, however, these temperature sensors must try to respond to hot air which, being a poor thermal conductor, results in signals that arrive only after the engine is severely damaged.

In a like manner, under leaking oil conditions low oil pressure signals are not obtained until the oil pump is starved for oil.  Since the oil pump draws liquid from the very bottom of the crankcase pan, these signals arrive only after virtually all oil has been lost. Again, the damage has already occurred.

The liquid level sensor provides an early warning that fluid is being lost and allows corrective action to be taken before damage can occur.  By using a sensor to turn on an indicator light, the low fluid level condition is communicated immediately to the operator.

ENGINE COOLANT

The coolant level sensor is located in the upper radiator reservoir.  The corresponding LED indicator light is included in the display module.

ENGINE OIL

The engine oil sensor is in the engine oil sump.  It monitors the oil level at approximately the 50% level.  The corresponding LED indicator light is located to the right of the instrument panel on the doghouse in clear view of the driver.

POWER STEERING FLUID

The power steering fluid sensor is located in the power steering fluid reservoir at the same level as the “Add” indicator on the dip stick.  The corresponding LED indicator light is located to the right of the instrument panel on the doghouse in clear view of the driver.

FUNCTION

The LED indicator lights will illuminate when the ignition is placed in the ON position as a test to insure that the warning circuits are working.  They will go out when the starter button is pressed if normal fluid levels are detected.  One or more of the lights staying on indicates a low fluid level in the corresponding system(s).  Any time the engine is ON and a low fluid level is detected, the appropriate light will illuminate.  The sensor output will reset when the ignition is turned off.

TRANSMISSION OIL

The transmission oil sensor is in the transmission oil sump.  The fluid level indicator is integrated into the shift selector.  Accessing the fluid level status is dependent upon the style of shift selector provided.

The transmission fluid level status is accessed through the “mode” function of the shift selector controls.

== Pump Module, 47" Side Mnt, Volute Pump, Gen IV - 4.001 ==                    

HYDRA TECHNOLOGY

The pump module must employ Hydra Technology.  Due to the design a pump module manufactured with Hydra Technology is compact in size; massive in performance.

Each component in the module must undergo a selection and placement analysis staff engineers.  Utilizing advanced 3D software the engineers goals must provide component placements for ergonomics with a completed module that produces maximum water flow with optimum versatility.  Only after the complete analysis and build of the module in the computer can the build of the hardware in the shop begin.

Pump module design beginning with a foundation; cage framework assemblies that are precision manufactured from strong corrosion free heavy wall stainless steel tubing.  This framework mounts to the truck frame through a mounting design complimented with iso-mount elastomer cushions.  The result shall be a mounting system that allows for the twisting movement of the truck frame without undue stress loading of the pump module.

Next assembled shall be the stainless side panels.  Brushed, mirror polished or power coated the stainless steel side panels provide strength and durability.  Precise engineering allows each panel to be laser machined before assembly; instead of drilling holes technicians shall spend their time on assembly techniques that provide installations that breeze through strict quality assurance.

A thorough review of the valve control placements on a control module shall result in a neat and orderly layout.  Open the access door on a side control module and peer inside.  The horizontal control rods appear neat and orderly.  The appearance is only a portion of the requirement.  The same neat and orderly appearance after countless hours of engineering design and ergonomic study provide a smooth trouble free linkage for valve operation.  Another by product of the low profile control rod placement is the ability to offer ladder through the tank storage designs.

On a top control module mount valve controls are attached to the valves through high performance stainless steel aircraft type cable assemblies.  Cables eliminate the inefficiencies of control rods connected to a valve.  Operate a cable controlled top panel and you will feel the difference; smooth and precise across the full valve operation.

The gauge panel door shall be an expansive double wall stainless door supported by a 3/8 inch diameter hinge pin.
