1-4-2- EGS GRIP TYPE
1-4-2-1-PRODUCT DEFINITION
EGS stands for Electronic Gear Shift lever
The EGS is designed to control the selected gear in a powershift transmission
It distinguishes itself from conventional shift lever by it's flexibility and it's ability to protect the complete driveline
from driver's abuse
The EGS integrates a complete microcomputer and an indicator display into the shift lever housing
Possible features include:
- Functionally replaces all existing CLARK-HURTH shift levers
- Direction reversal protection
- Downshift protection
- Neutral start protection
- Automatic Lockup
- shift sequencing
These functions can be implemented through use of dedicated software programs for the internal microcomputer

1-4-2-2-FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION
The EGS has a mechanical shift lever which passes information (contact less) to the computer
This info together with acquired vehicle speed information is used to shift to the requested gear or to prevent the
while indicating the on the shift lever's display

1-4-2-3-PRODUCT HARDWARE
Basically, two versions of the EGS are available:
The GRIP TYPE and the STANDARD TYPE
Both have a number of common features but most EGS units have a customised control program, giving quite a
range of functional differences
Refer to the application specific EGS description for an explanation of customer specific features

2-1-2-3-1- GRIP TYPE EGS


The GRIP type EGS is a shift lever, intended for mounting on the left side of the steering column

2-1-2-3-2- STANDARD type EGS


The STANDARD type EGS is a shift lever intended to be mounted on the right side of the driver
Left side mounting is also possible (software modification)

TM59U00010010200 - 1 - LIVRET DE CONDUITE - TMX100 - ENG.doc Revision : VISA :
1-4-2-5-GEAR SELECTOR :
The gears are selected by using the selector on the steering column
Lamps light to indicate visually which gear has been selected

To select forward drive, push the gear lever upwards and push it downwards for reverse

To select a forward gear, turn the knob anti-clockwise and to change to a higher gear, turn clockwise

The engine will only start in the neutral position when the ignition key is turned

Access to the 3rd and 4th gear is only possible after detection of the output shaft rotation
(LED No 8 goes out)

Under load, it is preferable to select the correct gear before setting off for the 1st and the 2nd

For the 3rd and the 4th gear , start in 2nd, then when LED n8 switch off, engage the 3rd gear and the 4th if necessary
Don't wait to have speed to operate this change, because it can cause important shocks to the aircraft or to the
trail

1-4-2-6-STANDARD FEATURES
Below described functions are available on all EGS units

2-1-2-6-1 Neutral start protection


Each EGS has an output signal which is activated whenever the shift lever is in the neutral position
This signal can be used to control a relay preventing engine start-up whenever the shift lever is NOT in the neutral
detented position

2-1-2-6-2 shift repeat


While pushing the shift lever for a short time (more than 0,1 sec) result in an up shift or a downshift, holding the
lever in either UP or DOWN position will produce subsequent up shift Of downshift with 1,5 second intervals

1-4-3-DISPLAY FUNCTION
The EGS has an internal indicator panel for displaying selected gear and driving direction
Below description is applicable for many EGS implementations
Application specific details are described in a separate document shipped along with each EGS unit

1-4-3-1-DIAGNOSTIC INFORMATION
Two types of diagnostic information are considered

ON LINE diagnostics
This information is given during normal driving when something special happens
For example on EGS's with speed sensor one of the indicators is used to indicate standstill
This helps to spot problems with sensor in an early stage before the lack of protection resulting from the failure
can produce damage to the drive train

OFF LINE diagnostics:


There are three self test modes built into the EGS
Details about their function and usage are described in chapter Self test functions

1-4-3-2-DISPLAY LAYOUT
The EGS uses LEDs (Light Emitting Diodes) to give information to the driver
It consists of eight multicolour LEDs, a RED LED and a YELLOW LED
The multicolour LEDS are labelled '1' to '8'
They can light up in one of three Colours: RED, GREEN and YELLOW

These numbered leds are used for displaying both the selected shift lever position and the selected transmission
position
Sometimes they also indicate operating mode and give diagnostic information
The RED LED is labelled 'N' and when burning it indicates that the transmission is placed in neutral
The YELLOW LED is labelled 'T' which stands for trouble-shooting
This Led is while working in one of the three self test modes

1-5-2-DRAW BAR PULL

What your Drawbar rating means ?

The drawbar pull of a tow-tractor is always quoted at two values


The "Maximum" drawbar pull and the "Sustained" drawbar pull
Upon receipt of a new truck the operator should acquaint himself with the trucks capacity rating
This can be found stamped on the trucks serial number plate, mounted on the scuttle
It should be noted that this serial number and the truck drawbar pull must be quoted when ordering spare parts

Maximum Drawbar Pull

This is the maximum amount of tractive effort your tow-tractor can exert to overcome the starting resistance of the
trailing load, (the combined weight of the tow-tractor, and trailed load)

Sustained Drawbar Pull

This is the amount of tractive effort your tow-tractor can maintain for normal towing duties, once the trailing load is
motion

It must be appreciated that the tractive effort required to tow a load, will vary if :
a) the vehicle climbs an incline
b) the vehicle operates on different road surfaces
Both these conditions must be taken into account before attempting to tow a maximum capacity load

Never attempt to tow loads in excess of the tow-tractor rated capacity
