All Rights Reserved Internal Flo-Fuse ix x © 2/98 McNeilus Truck and Manufacturing Co. All Rights Reserved Hydraulic System - How It Works 1. Pressure Compensated (PC) pump a. The PC pump draws oil from the reservoir as required a. COMPENSATED PRESSURE flows into the control block and moves into 3 areas within the block: 1. One route directs compensated pressure to the closed center chute lift block section b. The PC pump develops pressure respective to the compensator setting 1. This is called COMPENSATED PRESSURE 2. One route directs a flow of oil at compensated pressure to the Directional Valve. 2. Compensated pressure has a +3,000 PSI range capability 3. One route directs a flow of oil at compensated pressure to the PRV 2 valve 3. The compensator is fully adjustable c. With the exception of internal leakage, the pump only develops flow when the large cylinder is in motion or the chute is being raised b. COMPENSATED PRESSURE to the directional valve 1. When the down position is activated, the Directional Valve directs a flow of oil at compensated pressure to the trailer latch and PTS. The trailer latch opens and the spool of the PTS shifts against the PTS spring. This flow is via hose as the PTS is located in the hi-flow block on the barrel end of the large cylinder 1. You can check the bypass gauge on the hi-pressure filter ONLY when the large cylinder is being extended or retracted. a. This would be a maximum flow situation d. The PC pump develops approximately 1 GPM of leakage which is routed back to the reservoir e. Oil flows at compensated pressure from the PC pump through the hi-pressure filter 2. Hi-Pressure Filter a. The oil flow flows through the Bridgemaster filter element trapping particles of contamination b. If the element becomes full, the bypass will open. This allows oil to flow directly through the filter head without flowing through the filter. 1. The bypass becomes functional any time the OUTLET PRESSURE IS 50 PSI BELOW THE INLET PRESSURE. At the same time, the indicator will read “bypass”. You can only read the indicator when the large cylinder is being extended or retracted. c. The oil flow continues to the Bridgemaster III control block at compensated pressure 3. Control Block - COMPENSATED PRESSURE TO REGULATED PRESSURE © 2/98 McNeilus Truck and Manufacturing Co. All Rights Reserved c. COMPENSATED PRESSURE to the PRV 2 1. The PRV 2 REDUCES COMPENSATED PRESSURE from the Cessna pump to the setting of the PRV 2 2. This new lower pressure from the PRV 2 is called “REGULATED” or “REDUCED” pressure d. This flow of reduced pressure travels to the hi-flow block on the cylinder barrel end via hose between the control block and hi-flow block 4. Hi-Flow Block a. The PTS valve receives an oil flow of REDUCED PRESSURE from the PRV 2 flow and directs it to the barrel end of large cylinder. This happens when the down trailer position is selected and an oil flow of pilot pressure from the directional control valve shifts the PTS’s spool against its spring 1. With no pilot pressure, the spring holds the PTS spool in its normal position which blocks off regulated pressure and exposes the large cylinder barrel end to tank (trailer up) Hydraulic System - How It Works 1 Hydraulic System - How It Works b. At any time there is pressure in the large cylinder barrel end, the pressure is also exposed to the Hl-PRESSURE RELIEF VALVE. Should the pressure exceed 3,300 PSI, the hi-pressure relief valve will open and dump directly to the reservoir. This protects the systems from damage due to high pressure. c. An oil flow of COMPENSATED PRESSURE also flows from the hi-flow block to the LATCH CYLINDER. This flow is tee’d from the PTS pilot flow inside the hi-flow block which arrives from the directional control valve. The latch cylinder responds to approximately 50-60 PSI whereas the PTS spool responds to 175 PSI. Thus the latch cylinder will open before the PTS shifts to let the trailer down. d. A drain line from the CB 4 cartridge also joins the tank drain internally in the hi-flow block 5. CB 4 Block a. The CB 4 block mounts on the rod end of the large cylinder b. The CB 4 block contains a CB 4 cartridge and a check valve 1. The CB 4 cartridge is sensitive to pressure differences between the cylinder rod end and regulated pressure port on the CB 4 block assembly. If the regulated pressure on the CB 4 block is lower than the regulated pressure in the cylinder barrel end, the CB 4 cartridge will close. This traps oil in the cylinder rod end and terminates cylinder movement. Previous CB 1 and CB 3 valves requires pilot pressure for operation. All CB cartridge installations or replacements should utilize the CB 4 block assembly. 2. 2 The CHECK VALVE allows a flow of reduced pressure toward the cylinder rod end only. For the oil to flow from the cylinder rod end, it must flow through the CB 4 cartridge. The CB 4 also controls the down speed of the cylinder as the opening through the CB 4 cartridge is a specific size. This is not adjustable. Hydraulic System - How It Works c. A hydraulic hose is routed from the end of the CB 4 cartridge to the hi-flow block. This hose accumulates any normal leakage from the CB 4 cartridge and routes it to tank through the hi-flow block. 6. Trailer Down Operation a. A flow of oil travels from the pump through the filter (compensated pressure) to the control block. The PRV 2 reduces the pressure to the amount required by the system. The reduced pressure oil flows through the PTS which was shifted by pilot pressure from the directional valve. Oil which flows through the PTS valve flows directly into the barrel end of the cylinder. Because of a difference of area exposed to reduced pressure, the cylinder extends and the Bridgemaster III trailer goes down b. Reduced pressure flow in the rod end of the cylinder leaves the cylinder through the CB 4 cartridge and returns to rejoin the oil flowing to the cylinder through the PTS in the hi-flow block. c. The check valve remains closed during trailer down cycle 7. Trailer Up Operation a. There is no flow through the directional valve when the trailer up switch is activated so the PTS in the hi-flow block drains the barrel end of the large cylinder to tank. A flow of oil travels from the pump through the filter (compensated pressure) to the control block. The PRV 2 reduces the pressure to the amount required by the system. b. A flow of oil at reduced pressure travels through the hi-flow block from the control block to the CB 4 block. The CB 4 is closed as oil cannot flow through the CB 4 in that direction. c. The reduced pressure oil flow opens the CK valve in the CB 4 block and flows into the rod end of the large cylinder. The cylinder barrel end is drained to tank through the PTS. With oil flowing into the rod end of the cylinder at reduced pressure, the cylinder retracts and the trailer goes up. © 2/98 McNeilus Truck and Manufacturing Co.

The hydraulic system on these units develop flow only when the Bridgemaster III or Tuck-A-Weigh cylinder extends. This is also the only time oil flows through the high pressure filter and the only time the gauge on the high pressure filter will indicate normal (Green) or bypass (Red) situation. If the gauge indicates a bypass (Red) situation the oil is not being filtered adequately and your system may become contaminated and cause a malfunction. A replacement filter element with a beta rating of B7 = 200 is required to adequately filter the hydraulic oil. Replacement high pressure elements are available through your McNeilus branch. Order McNeilus P/N 140.108553. A filter element with a lower beta rating will not filter adequately. The O-Ring (100.108554) should also be replaced when the filter is replaced. Apply a light film of clean oil to the gasket before reinstalling. Your older McNeilus Bridgemaster may have a larger filter element (140.106553) and O-ring (100.106554). This is a model 30P filter. A tag on the filter will contain a model number. ! WARNING Be sure all pressure is relieved in the Bridgemaster or Tuck-A-Weigh system before the filter is serviced. © 2/98 McNeilus Truck and Manufacturing Co.

All Rights Reserved Bridgemaster or Tuck-A-Weigh Assembly 15 Bridgemaster III Hydraulic System COMPONENT DESCRIPTIONS 1. Control Block A. Bridgemaster Directional (Parker Valve) Function: Directs pressure and flow to latch cylinder and pilot-to-shift directional valve to allow Bridgemaster to raise or lower. Also used on Flow Stop Block or can be added to current block for flow stop function. Failure symptom: Bridgemaster will not change direction. Valve will not shift because of bad switch connection, failed coil or sticking spool. B. Adjustable Pressure Regulating Valve (PRV2) Function: Adjusts and maintains correct down pressure (regulated pressure). Failure symptom: System will not develop desired pressure. Pressure erratic or unstable caused from sticking or binding spool. Can be cleaned with WD40™ or equivalent and reused. C. Chute Up or Down Solenoid and Cartridge (Current Block) (3W2P Cartridge) Function: (Up Cartridge): Allows oil flow to raise chute when coil is energized. (Down Cartridge): Allows oil flow to unseat Pilot-Operated Check so oil can leave the chute-lift cylinder. 2. High Flow Block (Barrel end of BM Cylinder) A. Pilot-to Shift Orifice Function: Provides smooth shifting of pilot-to-shift directional valve spool. Failure symptom: Bridgemaster will not change direction because of plugged orifice. B. Pilot-To-Shift Valve (PTS) Function: Normal position connects barrel end of cylinder to tank, allowing Bridgemaster trailer to raise. Shifted position connects regulated pressure to barrel end of cylinder, forcing Bridgemaster trailer down. Failure symptom: Bridgemaster trailer will not change direction. Spool not shifting because of plugged pilot orifice, binding or jammed spool from system contamination. C. High Pressure Relief Valve Function: Prevents pressure in barrel end of cylinder from exceeding 3300 PSI in abrupt grade changes and rough roads or if accumulator charge is low or flat. Failure symptom: System will not develop desired pressure if spool is stuck open. 3. Rod End Control Block (CB4) Failure symptom: Chutes won’t move up or down depending on cartridge affected. Can be cleaned with WD40™ and reused. Also check coil for magnetism when energized. D. Pilot-Operated Check (PO CK) Function: Holds chute in position. Failure symptom: Chute drifts. E. Chute Speed Control (See page 11) Function: Control chute up and down speed. • UP Speed Control - CW = slower CCW = faster • DN Speed Control - CW = faster CCW = slower Failure Symptom: Chute speed non adjustable F. Chute Pressure Switch Function: Senses chute not fully lowered. A. Check Valve Function: Allows free flow during Bridgemaster up mode. Blocks flow in Bridgemaster down mode. Failure symptom: Bridgemaster will not stop or hold in mid-stroke position, or Bridgemaster moves too fast in down mode. Failure is caused by system contamination holding check valve open. If check valve fails in the closed position, the axle will not raise. B. Counterbalance Valve Function: Prevents Bridgemaster from being lowered or dropping when truck is turned off, and limits the speed the Bridgemaster can be lowered. Failure symptom: Bridgemaster will not stop or hold in mid-stroke position, caused by contamination holding the valve open. If check valve fails in the closed position, the axle will not raise. Failure symptom: BM trailer won’t move, red dash light on. (Red dash light may also be caused by faulty chute swing Prox or chute not centered.) 16 Bridgemaster III Hydraulic System © 2/98 McNeilus Truck and Manufacturing Co.

WARNING Before lowering the Bridgemaster trailer, turn the PRV-2 (Pressure Reducing Valve) fully counterclockwise to itís minimum gauge pressure of approximately 1,000 - 1,100 psi. ! WARNING Anytime you are working on this equipment or its related systems, you must do the following: 1. Inform the truck driver that the equipment is going to be repaired and locked out and that he must not attempt to start the truck. 2. Follow all OSHA and Mixer Lock Out procedures. Remove the keys from the truck’s ignition. 3. Place magnetic signs on both doors of the truck which read: “CAUTION - MAN WORKING ON MIXER - DO NOT START ENGINE” 4. Lock out supplies are available from McNeilus Truck and Manufacturing. Call (507) 374-6321 for assistance. ! WARNING Always be sure the area behind the mixer is clear of people or other obstacles when raising or lower the trailer. console is on, this indicates that the chutes are not centered or are not fully lowered. Provided that the chutes are centered, the electrical current next travels to the chute pressure switch located on the rear of the main control block. This block is located directly behind the cab on the driverís side Bridgemaster frame rail. If the chutes are raised, the resulting pressure in the chute hoist hydraulic line will activate the chute pressure switch, opening (eliminating) the circuit, and the Bridgemaster trailer will not lower. If the red indicator light on the in-cab console is on, the chutes are not fully lowered or are not centered. If the chutes are both centered and in the full down position, the electrical current next travels to the Bridgemaster activate switch located on the in-cab console. With the in-cab control console activate switch pressed, move the up/down switch in the direction that you want the trailer to move. When all of the above circuits are active, the electrical current is sent to the hydraulic solenoid directional valve (the Parker valve) located on the top, driverís side of the main control block (the Combo block). The trailer will then raise or lower as directed by the up/down switch. THE OPTIONAL MID-POSITION START/STOP SWITCH NOTE: The chutes must be in the full down position or the trailer will not raise or lower. NOTE: The chutes must be centered or the trailer will not raise or lower. NOTE: Always use Dielectric grease on Weather-PakÆ connections. THE ELECTRICAL CIRCUIT The electrical power for the Bridgemaster trailer raise/lower function begins at the control console. Older Bridgemaster units have a 5 amp resettable circuit breaker on the front of the console. Current production units have a 5 amp ATO fuse inside the passenger side of the console. 12 volts travels directly from the console to the proximity switch located at the main chute pivot. If the chutes are not centered, the proximity switch opens eliminating the electrical circuit and the Bridgemaster trailer will not raise or lower. If the red indicator light on the in-cab © 2/98 McNeilus Truck and Manufacturing Co. All Rights Reserved The optional mid-position start/stop switch allows you to stop the trailer during the up or down cycle. This is accomplished by interrupting the hydraulic flow prior to the Bridgemaster up/down hydraulic solenoid directional valve. NOTE: When the mid-position start/stop switch is in the stop position, the Bridgemaster trailer and the chutes will be inoperative. The in-cab hydraulic pressure gauge will read zero pressure and placing the transmission in reverse will not raise the Bridgemaster trailer. As an example: If the trailer was moving down before the Bridgemaster mid-position switch was activated to stop the trailer, the trailer will continue to move down when the Bridgemaster mid-position switch is moved to the ìonî position. If the trailer is moving down and the truck transmission is placed in reverse, the trailer will change direction and will go up. Bridgemaster Trailer System Electrical Troubleshooting 23 Bridgemaster Trailer System Electrical Troubleshooting ! WARNING Anytime the mid-position start/stop switch is in the “on” position and the truck transmission is placed in reverse gear, the Bridgemaster trailer will raise bypassing the proximity centering switch and the chute pressure switches. This can cause severe damage to the chutes and other components unless the chutes are centered and fully lowered. BRIDGEMASTER TRAILER WILL NOT RAISE OR LOWER 1. If there is no voltage present, check the fuse or check the wire. 2. If voltage is present, check the position of the proximity switch (1/4” air gap) or replace proximity switch. IF THE RED LIGHT IS OFF: A. Make sure the mid-position switch is in the “on” position. Quick Checks if the Red Light is On: 1. There should be pressure showing on the cab gauge. A. Are the chutes in the full down position? 2. The chutes should move up and down. B. Are the chutes centered (pointing directly to the rear)? B. Make sure the truck transmission is not in reverse. C. If there is no hydraulic pressure on the cab gauge: IF THE RED LIGHT STAYS ON: 1. Make sure the pump drive shaft is turning. A. Unplug the Weather-PakÆ connector for the chute pressure switch located on the passenger side of the main control block. 2. Remove the PRV-2 valve (pressure reducing valve) and push the end of the valve “in” and ìoutî several times while spraying with WD-40. Reinstall the PRV-2 and check for system pressure (older systems may have an orifice under the PRV-2). 1. If the Red Light goes out after unplugging the Weather-PakÆ connector, the problem is in the hydraulic chute system or the chute pressure switch. a. Remove the pressure switch and check for “open circuit” with ohm meter. If the switch checks good, proceed to step B. b. Change the “up” and “down” chute cartridges around, reconnect pressure switch, and check for proper operation of the system. c. Bleed all air from the chute hydraulic line by loosening the line at the cylinder (has anyone changed the cylinder?) 2. If the Red Light stays on after unplugging the Weather-PakÆ connector, the problem is in the proximity switch on the rear chute pivot or associated wiring. 3. Remove the hose from the inlet side of the high pressure filter located behind the cab of the truck. Install a 0 - 5,000 psi gauge in the line and ìdeadheadî the pump into the gauge. Start the truck and check the pressure reading (approximately 2,800 - 3,000 psi). If the pressure is low, call your nearest McNeilus branch for assistance. Anytime you have questions on troubleshooting or repair of your McNeilus Bridgemaster, please contact your McNeilus branch or call the McNeilus Corporate Headquarters at (507) 374-6321 and ask for mixer service. a. Disconnect the wiring for the proximity switch. b.

The piston accumulator is made of aluminum and has a two part sealing o-ring in the center, a cast ring on each side of the center seal, and a wiper ring on each end of the piston 2. Any leakage from the piston type accumulator will be gradual and normally causes no damage 3. The piston type accumulator is built into the Tuck-A-Weigh/Bridgemaster cylinder rod 4. Because the accumulator piston is built into the cylinder rod response time to pressure changes are immediate and confined to the cylinder a. One kit will not fit all brands or styles of accumulator systems 5. Purge air from the accumulator charge hose a. This prevents oxygen from entering the accumulator b. If oxygen enters the accumulator and mixes with the oil during charging, an internal accumulator ignition may result 1. The temperatures rises as the nitrogen gas is compressed and may go high enough to ignite the oil/oxygen mixture B. Charging accumulators When charging accumulators on transit mixer trailers the following safety guidelines must be followed ! WARNING Follow any OSHA procedures - the truck should be “locked out” while the mechanic is working on the mixer ! WARNING The truck ignition key should be removed from the truck to prevent someone from starting the truck while the mechanic is working on the accumulator 1.

All Rights Reserved Troubleshooting Hydraulic Manifold Assembly - Type E TUCK-A-WEIGH CONTROL VALVE FUNCTION: TUCK-A-WEIGH UP: Directs flow and pressure to other system components for raising and lowering the Tuck-AWeigh. Connects pilot passages of pilotto-shift directional valve and shuttle valve to tank. Connects full system pressure (3000 PSI) to fixed pressure regulating valve tank port. TUCK-A-WEIGH DOWN: Connects full system pressure to pilot passages of pilot-to-shift directional valve and shuttle valve. Connects fixed pressure regulating valve tank port to tank. FUNCTION: Provides smooth shifting of pilotto-shift directional valve spool. FAILURE SYMPTOM: Tuck-A-Weigh will not change direction because of plugged orifice. PRESSURE REGULATING VALVE (ADJUSTABLE) FUNCTION: Adjusts and maintains down pressure of Tuck-A-Weigh. FAILURE SYMPTOM: System will not develop desired pressure. Pressure erratic or unstable caused from sticking or binding spool. CHECK VALVE FAILURE: Symptom: Tuck-A-Weigh will not change direction. Valve will not shift because of bad switch connection, failed coil, or sticking spool. Manual override will shift spool unless jammed with o-ring or other system fragment. FUNCTION: Prevents a reverse flow of oil from flowing through pump when pump drive is disengaged. FAILURE SYMPTOM: Immediate loss of pressure when pump is disengaged. PILOT-TO-SHIFT DIRECTIONAL VALVE SHUTTLE VALVE FUNCTION: FUNCTION: Directs either full system pressure or adjustable regulated pressure to fixed pressure regulating valve. TUCK-A-WEIGH UP: Shuttle ball shifts to direct regulated pressure to fixed pressure regulating valve. Fixed pressure regulating valve is piloted open in this mode, which allows adjustable regulated pressure to reach secondary cylinders. FAILURE SYMPTOM: Normal position connects barrel side of cylinders to tank, allowing Tuck-A-Weigh to raise. Shifted position connects regulated pressure to barrel side of cylinders, forcing Tuck-A-Weigh down. Tuck-A-Weigh will not change direction.

All Rights Reserved CB4 Conversion A pre-1988 Bridgemaster ll or Tuck-A-Weigh can be retrofitted to a new style motion control valve (CB4). Should a problem arise with the motion control valve on a Bridgemaster ll (CB1) or a Tuck-A-Weigh (CB3), this CB4 conversion would not only save the customer money, but provide to be more efficient. All Bridgemaster lll units built after 1/2/88 incorporate a CB4 as a standard equipment. To convert a CB3 on a Tuck-A-Weigh to the CB4 unit the following steps should be followed: 1. Unplumb and remove existing CB3. 2. Eliminate the pilot line which runs between the high pressure relief valve assembly. (HPRV) and the CB3. 3. Install a plug in the pilot port on the HPRV as this will no longer be required. 4. Install new CB4 to rod end of cylinder with the ports pointing toward the HPRV. 5. Plumb the drain line from the HPRV to the end of the CB4 cartridge (the end cap of the cartridge is threaded to accept a fitting). A -4 to -6 adapter will be required . 6. Plumb the large “CR” hose which was removed from the CB3 to the CB4. 7. Check trailer performance on a scale. The new CB4 is more efficient and may require recalibration. © 2/98 McNeilus Truck and Manufacturing Co. All Rights Reserved To convert a CB1 on a Bridgemaster ll to the CB4 unit the following steps should be followed: 1. Unplumb and remove the existing CB1. 2. Eliminate the pilot line which runs to the CB1 from either the HPRV or the “P aux” port of the “C” block (control block). 3. Install a plug in the port which the pilot pressure line came from. A pilot line is no longer required. 4. Install new CB4 to the rod end of the cylinder with the ports pointing toward the HPRV. 5. Install a drain line from the CB4 cartridge end (threaded to accept a fitting) to the reservoir (or HPRV drain if equipped). 6. Plumb the large “CR” hose which was removed from the CB1 to the CB4. 7. Check trailer performance on a scale. The new CB4 is more efficient and will require recalibration. The CB4 is quite simple to install. It has only three ports: the port which attaches directly to the cylinder via a fitting which is included with the CB4, a port for high flow which allows oil to enter or leave the cylinder, and a cartridge drain line which is designed to thread directly into the cartridge.

Hydraulic hoses, fittings, and pipe must be inspected on a daily basis for leaks, cuts, abrasions, damage, aging, improper clearance, and along the frame for hidden damage. If you find hoses with any such adverse conditions or damage, they must be replaced before the mixer is returned to service! In any event, all hydraulic hoses must be replaced every two years. Failure to properly inspect and maintain your mixer may result in serious personal injury. 2. Visual roller track and roller alignment check. Check for “snapping” or “popping” noises while drum is turning. 3. Check oil level in hydraulic reservoir. Add oil if below sight gauge level with all cylinders retracted. Use correct oil. 4. Start engine and warm up hydraulic system with truck engine at approximately 1,200 RPM and mixer drum turning at approximately 2 RPM. Warm up time minimum is 5 minutes. 5. Check vacuum gauge on oil filter. Replace element if the reading exceeds 10 inches of vacuum after oil has reached operating temperature. 6. Check for and correct any external oil or air leaks. NOTE: Do not tighten or loosen any connections while system is under pressure. 7. Lubricate pump drive shaft universal joints. 4. Check filler cap and neck on oil reservoir for leaks. Check oil reservoir mounts. Make any necessary repairs immediately. 5. Check and record drum RPM while loading mixer with concrete and truck engine running at top governed RPM. If drum revolution is 2 RPM less than that recorded at previous check, see manual for component check out. 6. Check inside of drum for concrete build up and clean as required. 7. Check mounting bolts for proper tightness. 8. Check ZF transmission drive plate bolts. Torque to 170 lb ft. 9. Check ZF transmission hold down bolts. Torque to 420 lb. ft. 10. Inspect debouncer for proper clearance. 11. Inspect roller track for cracks, flat areas. Correct as necessary. SIX MONTH INSPECTION 1. Change hydraulic oil and install new hydraulic oil filter(s). Remove filters and check for metal particles. Replace filter(s) with correct part number filter. Use the correct hydraulic oil as per McNeilus specs. Check with McNeilus before using any alternate hydraulic oil or filters. Multiple Viscosity oils and Automatic Transmission Fluid (ATF) cannot be used in the hydraulic system. 8. Lubricate roller bearings. 2. 9. Lubricate and inspect rear cable control box. 10. Lubricate chute pivot system and inspect chutes and chute hardware for wear or damage. WEEKLY INSPECTIONS 1. Check pump drive shaft cap screws for proper tightness. 2. Lubricate complete mixer per lube chart supplied with mixer. 3. On Bridgemaster systems check the indicator gauge on the high pressure filter when the system is warm and the Bridgemaster Trailer is actually moving down (if the trailer is not moving, the indicator will not read). 4. Service the ZF transmission. The lubricant should be drained while the ZF drive is hot. 85w-140 with a GL5 spec is the proper lubricant. Do not overfill the drive. Proper oil level is to the bottom of the sight glass. 5. 3. Draw sample of oil from reservoir and check for presence of water. If water is present, the oil may be milky in appearance. Milky oil should be drained from the system and replaced and the source of the water entry found and corrected. © 2/98 McNeilus Truck and Manufacturing Co.
