NOTES:
FOREWORD
This handbook is intended to provide the HAULPAK® operator with the necessary
information to allow for safe and efficient truck operation.
The HAULPAK® operator should be a qualified individual who has had proper training to
achieve full production with the truck. An efficient, qualified operator can help insure long
production life of the truck and avoid costly down time due to misuse of the unit and its
systems. Training for both operators and maintenance personnel is recommended and is
available upon request. Operator training is accomplished at the job site by qualified
operator instructors. Maintenance training is provided both in the factory setting and in
field schools. All requests for operator and/or maintenance training should be forwarded
to the local HAULPAK® Distributor for action.
This handbook shows dimensioning of U.S. standard and metric (SI) units, and all
references to "Right", "Left", "Front", or "Rear" are made with respect to the operator’s
normal seated position, unless specifically stated otherwise. Illustrations used in this
handbook are typically representative and may not necessarily depict a specific model.
A Product Identification plate is normally located on the frame in front of the right side front
wheel and designates the Truck Model Number, Product Identification Number (vehicle
serial number), and Maximum G.V.W. (Gross Vehicle Weight) rating.
The HAULPAK® Model designation consists of three numbers and one letter (i.e. 830E).
The three numbers represent the basic truck model. The letter "M" designates a Mechanical
drive and the letter "E" designates an Electrical propulsion system.
The Product Identification Number (vehicle serial number) contains information which will
identify the original manufacturing bill of material for this unit. This complete number will
be necessary for proper ordering of many service parts and/or warranty consideration.
The Gross Vehicle Weight (GVW) is what determines the load on the drive train, frame,
tires, and other components. The vehicle design and application guidelines are sensitive
to the total maximum Gross Vehicle Weight (GVW) and this means the total weight:
the Empty Vehicle Weight + the fuel/lubricants + the payload.
To determine allowable payload:
Service all lubricants for proper level and fill fuel tank of empty truck (which includes all
accessories, body liners, tailgates, etc.) and then weigh truck.
Record this value and subtract from the GVW rating. The result is the allowable payload.
NOTE: Accumulations of mud, frozen material, etc. become a part of the GVW and reduces
allowable payload. To maximize payload and to keep from exceeding the GVW rating,
these accumulations should be removed as often as practical.
Exceeding the allowable payload will reduce expected life of truck components.

If engine has been running, allow coolant to cool before removing the fill cap or
draining radiator.
Any operating fluid, such as hydraulic oil, or engine coolant escaping under pressure,
can have sufficient force to enter a person’s body by penetrating the skin and cause
serious injury and possibly death, if proper medical treatment by a physician who is
familiar with this type of injury is not received immediately.
Do not stand in front of rim and locking ring when inflating tire.
d. Check tires for cuts, damage or “bubbles”. Check tires for proper inflation. If
tire is warm from operation, allow tire to cool before adjusting tire pres-
sure. If inflation is needed, use an air chuck with extension hose clipped on
the tire inflation valve to allow service from behind the tread of the tire and
away from front of wheel.
e. Clean ladder and handrails of any foreign material such as ice, snow, mud or
oil.
f. Upon completion of an exterior inspection of the truck, clean mud, grease, or
snow from shoes before climbing access ladder.
Always mount and dismount facing the truck. Never attempt to mount or dismount the
truck while it is in motion.
5. Always use handrails and ladder when mounting or dismounting from the truck.
6. Check the deck areas for debris, loose hardware or tools.
7. Become familiar with all protective equipment devices on the truck and insure
that these items (anti-skid material, grab bars, seat belts, etc.) are securely in
place.
8. Read and understand the contents of this handbook. Read the sections
pertaining to safety and operating instructions with special attention. Become
thoroughly acquainted with all gauges, instruments and controls before at-
tempting operation of the truck.
Read and understand WARNING and CAUTION decals in the operator’s cab.
9. Keep all unauthorized reading material out of truck cab.
10. Do not carry tools and supplies or allow trash to accumulate in cab of truck.
Truck Operation
Tire and rim assembly may expode if subjected to excessive heat. Personnel should
move to a remote or protected location if sensing excessively hot brakes, smell of
burning rubber or evidence of fire near tire and wheel area.
If the truck must be approached, such as to fight a fire, those personnel should do
so only while facing the tread area of the tire (front or back), unless protected by use
of large heavy equipment as a shield. Stay at least 50 ft. (15 m) from the tread of the
tire.
In the event of fire in the tire and wheel area (including brake fires), stay away
from the truck at least 8 hours or until the tire and wheel are cool.
27. Stay alert at all times! In the event of an emergency, be prepared to react quickly
and avoid accidents. If an emergency arises, know where to get prompt
assistance.
WHEN REPAIRS ARE NECESSARY
Any operating fluid, such as hydraulic oil or brake fluid escaping under pressure, can
have sufficient force to enter a person’s body by penetrating the skin. Serious injury
and possibly death may result if proper medical treatment by a physician familiar with
this injury is not received immediately.
Do not stand in front of rim and locking ring when inflating tire mounted on the
machine. Observers should not be permitted in the area and should be kept away
from the side of such tires.
Do not weld or apply heat on the rim assembly with the tire mounted on the rim.
Resulting gases inside the tire may ignite, causing explosion of tire and rim.
14. Only a qualified operator or experienced maintenance personnel who are also
qualified in operation should move the truck under its own power in the repair
facility or during road testing after repairs are complete.
The following paragraphs give an explanation of the A warning plate over the “Rear Wheel Brake Lock”

When the switch lever is pressed on the right side, the operator can
control engine speed anywhere between low idle and high idle
settings. This is the "low" engine idle position. This position should
be used when maneuvering in confined areas (i.e. shop area).
When the switch lever is pressed on the left side toward this symbol
and truck speed is above 3 mph (4.8 kph), the operator may control
engine speed only between dynamic retard engine speed (1675
RPM) and high idle. The switch should be in this postion during
hauling operations. Increased engine RPM is required to insure
adequate flow of cooling air to the main alternator and wheel motors
when dynamic retarding is applied. When truck speed is below 3
mph (4.8 kph), truck operates the same as "low" idle position.
If the operator stops the truck on an uphill incline, the override switch can be used
to set up forward propulsion while the brakes are applied. As soon as forward
propulsion is felt, completely release the brakes and a few seconds later release
the override switch.
The push button deactivates the retard pedal function when speed of truck is below
3 mph (4.8 kph).
The override switch is also used to reset the electric system fault when indicated
by the red warning light.
(Refer to "Electric System Fault" light indicator in “Instruments and Indicators”.)
NOTE: STATEX III records the number of "faults/events". When a predetermined
number of "faults/events" are recorded within a given time frame, the operator will not
be able to reset the fault/event by using the override switch.
If this occurs, notify maintenance personnel immediately.
Throttle pedal position will override RSC setting. If operator depresses throttle pedal
to increase truck speed, Dynamic Retarding will not come on unless truck over-
speed setting is reached or foot operated retard pedal is used. When throttle pedal
is released and RSC switch is "On", Dynamic Retarding will come on at the RSC
pre-selected speed and will maintain that maximum speed.
To adjust RSC control, pull switch (8) "On" and start with dial (9) rotated toward
fastest speed while driving truck at desired maximum speed. Relax throttle pedal
to let truck coast and turn RSC Adjusting Dial slowly counterclockwise until Dynamic
Retarding is activated. Dynamic Retarding will now be activated automatically
anytime the "set" speed is reached, the RSC switch is "On", and throttle pedal is
released.
With RSC switch "On" and dial adjusted, the system will function as follows: As truck
speed increases to the "set" speed and throttle pedal released, Dynamic Retarding
will apply. As truck speed tries to increase, the amount of retarding effort will
automatically adjust to keep the selected speed. When truck speed decreases, the
retarding effort is reduced to maintain the selected speed. If truck speed continues
to decrease to approximately 3 mph (4.8 kph) below "set" speed, Dynamic Retard-
ing will turn off automatically. If truck speed must be reduced further, the operator
can turn the Adjust Dial to a new setting or depress the foot operated retard pedal.
If the operator depresses the foot operated retard pedal and the retard effort called
for is greater than that from the automatic system, the foot pedal retard will override
RSC.

INSTRUMENT PANEL
The operator must understand the function and operation of each instrument and
control. Control functions are identified with "International" symbols that the opera-
tor should learn to recognize immediately. This knowledge is essential for proper
and safe operation of the machine. Items that are marked OPTIONAL do not apply
to every truck.
The following symbols are general indicators and may appear in multiple locations
and combinations on the instrument panel.
“OFF”
“ON”
This symbol may be used alone or with another symbol. This symbol
identifies the "On" position of a switch or control.
“IN”
“OUT”
“NO”
“PUSH”
“CHECK”
The fuel gauge indicates how much diesel fuel is in the fuel tank.
Fuel tank capacity is 1000 gallons (3785 liters).
(5) VOLTMETER
The voltmeter indicates the voltage of the 24V battery system.
Normal indicated voltage at high RPM is 27 to 28 volts with batteries
in fully charged condition.
When keyswitch (10) is "On" and engine NOT running, voltmeter
indicates battery charge condition.
(6) HOURMETER
The hourmeter registers the total number of hours the engine has
been in operation.
This indicator light illuminates to indicate the left turn signals are
operating when the turn signal lever on the steering column is
moved downward. Moving the lever to its center position will turn
indicator "Off".
This indicator light illuminates to indicate the right turn signals are
operating when the turn signal lever on the steering column is
moved upward. Moving the lever to its center position will turn
indicator "Off".
The high beam indicator when lit, indicates that the truck headlights
are on "High" beam. To switch headlights to "High" or "Low" beam,
move the steering column mounted lever toward the steering wheel.
(Refer to “Operator Controls and Equipment”.)
The hazard warning light switch flashes all the turn signal lights.
When activated, the wipers operate at low speed while the washer
pump operates.
(17) TACHOMETER
The tachometer registers engine crankshaft speed in revolutions per minute (RPM).
Governed RPM (Detroit Diesel):
Low Idle — 750 RPM (650 RPM with DDEC Fuel Saver)
High Idle, No load — 2040 20 RPM (1920 RPM with DDEC)
High Idle, loaded — 1900 RPM
When switch is "Off", operator can control engine speed anywhere between low idle
and high idle settings and operate truck, depending on the position of the Engine
Idle Switch on the operator’s center console. Refer to OPERATOR CONTROLS AND
EQUIPMENT, previous section, for a description of the Engine Idle Switch.
This switch turns the ladder lights "On" or "Off". Another switch is
mounted at the front left of truck near the base of ladder.
Fog Lights are optional equipment that are useful in foggy conditions
and heavy rain. Pressing the top of the rocker switch turns the lights
"On". Pressing the bottom of the switch turns the lights "Off".
This amber service brake indicator light will illuminate when the
service brake pedal is applied or when wheel brake lock or emer-
gency brake is applied. Do not attempt to drive truck from stopped
position with service brakes applied.
This amber parking brake indicator will illuminate when the parking
brake is applied. Do not attempt to drive truck with parking brake
applied.
23E: Body Up
This amber low air pressure indicator light will illuminate when the
air pressure is below 90 psi (621 kPa).
A warning buzzer will also sound indicating low air pressure.
This amber manual backup light indicator will illuminate when the
manually operated switch (19) is turned "on".
If the indicator light and warning horn remain "on", and do not turn off after running
the engine for a few minutes, a problem exists in either the accumulator nitrogen
precharge pressure [precharge pressure is below 1300 psi (9.1 MPa)], the steering
system hydraulic circuit, or the steering system hydraulic monitoring circuit.
Notify maintenance personnel. Do not operate truck until the fault has been
corrected.
During truck operation, this indicator light and warning horn will turn on if steering
system hydraulic pressure drops below 2100 psi (14.7 MPa).
If the light illuminates momentarily ("flickers") while turning the steering wheel
at low truck speed and low engine RPM, this may be considered "normal", and
truck operation may continue.
If the indicator light illuminates at higher truck speed and high engine RPM, DO
NOT OPERATE TRUCK.
If the low steering warning light continues to illuminate
and the alarm continues to sound, low steering pressure
is indicated. The remaining pressure in the accumulators
allows the operator to control the truck to a stop. Do not attempt further operation
until the malfunction is located and corrected.
This warning light indicates the oil level in the hydraulic tank is below
recommended level. Damage to hydraulic pumps may occur if
operation continues. Shut truck down and notify maintenance per-
sonnel immediately.
NOTE: Adequate hydraulic fluid is stored to allow the operator to safely stop the
truck.
When this light is lit and alarm sounds, high wheel motor temperature
is indicated. Stop truck, place Selector Switch in "Neutral" and raise
engine RPM to high idle for several minutes to cool wheel motors. If
indicator does not turn off, notify maintenance personnel.
WARNING! Use of this switch does not turn off 24 VDC electric accessories!
Normal engine shutdown is accomplished by turning key switch "Off", which also
turns off all 24 VDC electric accessories, including hydraulic bleeddown timer.
The fan control knob is provided to control the cab air fan motor.
The fan motor is a 3-speed motor (low, medium and high). Speeds
are selected by rotating the control knob clockwise to the desired
position. "Off" position is marked by a symbol on the panel.
Selecting a center position for the control lever divides the air to both floor heat and
defroster.
NOTE: After service, push the reset pin at bottom of gauge to allow the needle to
return to zero.
NOTE: If truck is equipped with the MTU Engine and WEBASTO Coolant Heater
System for cold weather starting, the coolant heater switch [located on small
box on L.H. frame near front of engine] must be turned "On" for approximately
20 minutes before starting engine; a green light will illuminate to indicate heater
system is operating. Turn heater switch "Off" before starting engine!
DO NOT operate engine with coolant heater "On"!
3. Check tires for cuts, damage or "bubbles". Check tires for proper inflation before
beginning shift and periodically during shift.
4. Visually inspect all headlights, worklights and taillights and safety equipment for
external damage from rocks or misuse. Make sure lenses are clean.
5. Always use hand rails and ladder when mounting or dismounting from the truck.
Clean ladder and hand rails of all accumulations, such as ice, snow, oil, or mud.
Always mount and dismount the truck facing the truck.
Never attempt to mount or dismount the truck while it is
in motion.
4. The keyswitch is a three position (Off, Run, Start) switch. When switch is rotated
one position clockwise, it is in the "Run" position and all electrical circuits (except
"Start") are activated. With Selector Switch in "Neutral", rotate keyswitch fully
clockwise to "Start" position and hold this position until engine starts. "Start"
position is spring loaded to return to "Run" when key is released.
For MTU engine, see NOTE 2: below.
NOTE 1: If truck is equipped with the Cummins Engine Prelube System, a
noticeable time delay will occur (while engine lube oil passages are being
filled) before starter engagement and engine cranking will begin. The colder
the engine oil temperature, the longer the time delay will be. In addition, if truck
is also equipped with Engine Starting Aid for cold weather starting, the Engine
Prelube System should be engaged FIRST for 5-10 seconds, or until starter is
engaged, BEFORE activating the Engine Starting Aid .
Starting fluid is extremely volatile and flammable!
Use with extreme care.
If truck is equipped with optional Engine Starting Aid and ambient temperature
is below 50oF (10oC), turn the keyswitch to the "Start" position, and while
cranking engine, move the Engine Starting Aid switch to the "On" position for
three (3) seconds MAXIMUM; then release Engine Starting Aid. If engine does
not start, wait at least fifteen (15) seconds before repeating the procedure.
Do not crank an electric starter for more than 30 seconds.
Allow two minutes for cooling before attempting to start engine again.
Severe damage to starter motor can result from overheating.
1. Always look to the rear before backing the truck. Watch for and obey ground
spotter’s hand signals before making any reverse movements. Sound the
warning horn (3 blasts). Spotter should have a clear view of the total area at
the rear of the truck.
2. Operate the truck only while properly seated with seat belt fastened. Keep hands
and feet inside the cab compartment while truck is in operation.
3. Check gauges and instruments frequently during operation for proper readings.
4. Observe all regulations pertaining to the job site’s traffic pattern. Be alert to any
unusual traffic pattern. Obey the spotter’s signals.
5. Match the truck speed to haul road conditions and slow the truck in any
congested area. Keep a firm grip on steering wheel at all times.
6. Do not allow engine to run at "Idle" for extended periods of time.
7. Check parking brake periodically during shift. Use parking brake ONLY for
parking. Do not use park brake for loading / dumping.
Do not attempt to apply parking brake while truck is moving!
Do not use "Brake Lock" or "Emergency Brake" (if
equipped) for parking.
8. Check brake lock performance periodically for safe loading and dump opera-
tion.
9. Proceed slowly on rough terrain to avoid deep ruts or large obstacles. Avoid
traveling close to soft edges and the edge of fill area.
10. Truck operation requires concentrated effort by the driver. Avoid distractions
of any kind while operating the truck.
6. When loaded, pull away from shovel as quickly as possible but with extreme
caution.
HAULING
1. Always stay alert! If unfamiliar with the road, drive with extreme caution.
Cab doors should remain closed at all times if truck is in motion or unattended.
2. Obey all road signs. Operate truck so it is under control at all times. Govern
truck speed by the road conditions, weather and visibility. Report haul road
conditions immediately. Muddy or icy roads, pot holes or other obstructions
can present hazards.
3. When backing the truck, give back-up signal (three blasts on the horn); when
starting forward, two blasts on the horn. These signals must be given each time
the truck is moved forward or backward.
4. Use extreme caution when approaching a haul road intersection. Maintain a
safe distance from oncoming vehicles.
5. Maintain a safe distance when following another vehicle. Never approach
another vehicle from the rear, in the same lane, closer than 50 ft. (15 m). When
driving on a down grade, this distance should not be less than 100 ft. (30 m).
PASSING
1. Do not pass another truck on a hill or blind curve!
2. Before passing, make sure the road ahead is clear. If a disabled truck is blocking
your lane, slow down and pass with extreme caution.
3. Use only the areas designated for passing.
3. When in dump position, apply Brake Lock and move Selector Switch to the
"Neutral" position.
6. Reduce engine RPM as last stage of hoist cylinder begins to extend and let
engine go to low idle as last stage reaches half-extension.
7. Release hoist lever as last stage of hoist cylinder reaches full extension.
8. After material being dumped clears body, lower body to frame.
9. With body returned to frame, move Selector Switch to "Forward", release Brake
Lock, and leave dump area carefully.
TOWING
Prior to towing a truck, many factors must be carefully considered. Serious personal
injury and/or significant property damage may result if important safety practices,
procedures and preparation for moving heavy equipment are not observed.
Do not tow the truck any faster than 5 MPH (8 kph).
A disabled machine may be towed after the following MINIMUM precautions have
been taken.
1. Shut down engine.
2. If truck is equipped, install hydraulic connections for steering and dumping
between towing and towed vehicles. Check towed vehicle for braking system.
3. Inspect tow bar for adequacy (approximately 1.5 times the gross vehicle weight
of truck being towed).
4. Determine that towing vehicle has adequate capacity to both move and stop
the towed truck under all conditions.
5. Protect both operators in the event of tow bar failure.
6. Block disabled truck to prevent movement while attaching tow bar.
7. Release disabled truck brakes and remove blocking.
8. Sudden movement may cause tow bar failure. Smooth and gradual truck
movement is preferred.
9. Minimize tow angle at all times - NEVER EXCEED 30o. The towed truck must
be steered in the direction of the tow bar.
SHUTDOWN PROCEDURE
The following procedure (1. – 4.) should be followed at each engine shutdown.
1. Stop truck. Reduce engine RPM to low idle. Place Selector Switch in "Neutral"
and apply parking brake.
2. Allow engine to cool gradually by running at low idle for 3 to 5 minutes.
3. With truck stopped and engine cooled down, turn keyswitch counterclockwise
to "Off" for normal shutdown of engines equipped with electronic engine
controls (MTU, Detroit Diesel w/DDEC, or Cummins w/Centry Fuel Control).
If engine does not shutdown with keyswitch, use engine shutdown switch (* )
and hold switch down until engine stops.
* For 445E – 685E, this is the Engine Shutdown Switch on center console (see
"Operator Controls" section).
* For 830E, this is the instrument panel Emergency Engine Shutdown switch (see
"Instruments and Indicators" section).
4. With keyswitch "Off", and engine stopped, wait at least 90 seconds. Insure
steering circuit is completely bled down by turning steering wheel back and
forth several times. No front wheel movement will occur when hydraulic
pressure is relieved.
NOTE: A switch is located at lower left front of truck for ground level engine
shutdown.
5. Close and lock all windows, remove key from keyswitch and lock cab to prevent
possible unauthorized truck operation. Dismount truck properly.
One of the most important factors which will contribute to the long life and
dependability of the HAULPAK® truck and its components is the use of proper
lubricants at recommended intervals. The lubrication intervals are presented in
hours of operation. However, if truck operations are being carried out under extreme
conditions, some or all of the intervals may need to be shortened and the servicing
carried out more frequently.
Refer to manufacturer’s service manual when servicing the engine or any compo-
nents of the General Electric System.
The information presented on these pages should be used as a reference when
servicing the truck on a daily or shift basis. Lubrication requirements are referenced
to the lube key found in the Lubrication Specifications Chart. For more detailed
lubrication and service specifications for extended intervals, refer to Section "P" of
the service manual.
After each wheel mounting operation, recheck wheel mounting capscrew tighteness
after about five hours operation, check again at the end of the shift and then
periodically until all capscrews hold at the prescribed 450 [Link]. (610 N.m) torque.
This requirement is prescribed for both front and rear wheels

DISPLAY LOGIC
The Payload Meter displays payload weight, the time of day, or 0 according to the
following logic.
1. Time of day is displayed if the wheel brake lock is off.
2. Payload weight is displayed when the wheel brake lock is on and the payload
is greater than 5% of rated payload.
3. 0 is displayed:
a. For one second after the wheel brake lock is switched off or
b. The wheel brake lock is on and the payload is less than 5% of rated payload
or
c. The body is up.
The shovel or loader operator can predict the payload weight by observing these
lights. During the loading operation a forecast function flashes a deck mounted light
predicting the payload weight after the next bucket of material is dropped into the
body. The logic is as follows:
1. If the measured payload is varying 3% or less of the rated load for more than
0.5 second, the current load is deemed a steady value.
2. If the difference between the previous steady value and the current steady value
is greater than 15% of rated load or greater than 10 tons, the difference is taken
to be the size of the current bucket.
3. The average size of previous buckets is added to the current load. The deck
mounted light that will come on if another "average" bucket is dropped in the
body will blink at one second intervals.
LOAD NUMBER.
This is a sample print-out only. Actual data will vary according to truck model,
payload capacity, location and operating conditions. DO NOT exceed the factory
recomended MAXIMUM PAYLOAD RATING.
5. Insert the leader into the printer paper input and press the "FEED" button. Hold
the button until about 6 inches has fed through the printer.
6. Pass the paper through the cover and close.
CLEAR MEMORY
NOTE: Print out all data stored in memory before clearing memory.
1. Push the "CLEAR" button for 1 second. Display will blink "CLEA".
2. Push the "CLEAR" button again. Display will show "CLEA" for 3 seconds then
return to normal display logic.
NOTE: To cancel clear operation when display is blinking "CLEA", push "CAL".
CALIBRATION
The calibration function measures and stores in memory the empty truck sprung
weight. This data is subtracted from live load data to calculate payload weight.
During calibration suspension pressure sensors and inclinometer outputs are
acquired and averaged over a 30 seconds interval while the empty truck is driven
at a steady 6 MPH on a level smooth haul road. This data is not lost when power
is removed from the payload meter. Carry out the calibration procedure:
After delivery of the machine
After adjusting suspension oil/gas charge
After modifying the machine
After adjusting tire pressure
After replacing a sensor
After a sensor check indicates the no load weight has changed.
SENSOR CHECK
A sensor check is performed to determine if the empty condition of the truck has
changed or a sensor’s sensitivity has changed. Pressure and inclinometer outputs
are measured under the same conditions as the calibration procedure. An error
code will be displayed if a sensor is out of order. See error code table. If an error
code is displayed carry out the calibration procedure.
To perform a sensor check:
1. Stop the truck and set the wheel brake lock.
NOTE: If the "CAL" button is pressed while the wheel brake lock is off, the "CAL"
button will be ignored.
2. Press the "CAL" button. The display will blink "CAL".
3. Press the "CAL" button again. The display will blink "SCH". To cancel press the
"CAL" button one more time and the display will return to normal display logic.
4. Begin driving the empty truck at 6 MPH on a level smooth haul road. Press the
"CAL" button again. The display will stop blinking and "SCH" will be displayed.
Continue to drive the truck. After 30 seconds the display will return to the time
of day display or an error code will be displayed and the sensor check will be
complete.
DIMMING DISPLAY
Press the "LIGHT" button and hold. The LED display will dim in ten steps. Release
the button at the desired level.
