Control Systems
Direct Driver-Controlled System
The driver manually locks and unlocks the wheel differential,
using a cab-mounted air valve. The following description as-
sumes the system includes a cab-mounted air valve and a so-
lenoid valve as shown in the illustration. Operation is as
follows:
1. With control switch in the unlock position, the wheel
differential functions normally.
2. When the control valve is placed in the lock position,
the air supply solenoid valve opens and air pressure
activates the shift unit.The shift fork is moved to en-
gage the sliding clutch which, in turn, locks the wheel
differential.
3. When the control switch is placed in the unlock posi-
tion, air pressure supply to the shift unit is shut off
and air pressure is released from the shift unit. A
compression spring moves the shift fork to disen-
gage the sliding clutch from the flanged case half un-
locking the wheel differential.
