WARNING

CARBON MONOXIDE (EXHAUST GASES) CAN KILL!• Carbon monoxide is a colorless, odorless, deadly poison which, when breathed, deprives the body of

oxygen and causes suffocation. Exposure to air containing carbon monoxide produces symptoms ofheadache, dizziness, loss of muscular control, apparent drowsiness, and coma. Permanent brain damageor death to personnel can result from severe exposure.

• Carbon monoxide occurs in exhaust fumes from internal combustion engines. It also occurs in exhaust fumesfrom engine coolant heater (arctic machine only). Carbon monoxide can become dangerously concentratedunder conditions of inadequate ventilation. The following precautions must be observed to ensure safety ofpersonnel when engine of loader is operated.

1. DO NOT operate engine in enclosed areas without adequate ventilation.2. DO NOT idle engine without adequate ventilation.3. DO NOT drive machine with inspection plates or cover plates removed.4. BE ALERT for exhaust poisoning symptoms. They are:

• Headache• Dizziness• Sleepiness• Loss of muscular control

5. If you see another person with exhaust poisoning symptoms:• Remove person from area.• Expose to fresh air.• Keep person warm.• DO NOT permit physical exercise.• Administer cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) if necessary.• Notify a medic.

6. BE AWARE. The field protective mask for nuclear-biological-chemical (NBC) protection will NOT protect youfrom carbon monoxide poisoning.

The Best Defense Against Carbon Monoxide Poisoning Is Good Ventilation!

CORROSION PREVENTION AND CONTROL (CPC) 0001 00

1. CPC of Army materiel is a continuing concern. It is important that any corrosion problems with this item be reported sothat the problem can be corrected and improvements can be made to prevent the problem in future items.

2. Corrosion specifically occurs with metals. It is an electrochemical process that causes the degradation of metals. It iscommonly caused by exposure to moisture, acids, bases, or salts. An example is the rusting of iron. Corrosion damage inmetals can be seen, depending on the metal, as tarnishing, pitting, fogging, surface residue, and/or cracking.

3. Plastics, composites, and rubbers can also degrade. Degradation is caused by thermal (heat), oxidation (oxygen), solva-tion (solvents), or photolytic (light, typically UV) processes. The most common exposures are excessive heat or light.Damage from these processes will appear as cracking, softening, swelling, and/or breaking.

4. SF Form 368, Product Quality Deficiency Report should be submitted to the address specified in DA PAM 750-8,TAMMS Users Manual.

INTRODUCTION

1. The 966H Wheel Loader consists of the following functional systems: engine; power train; brake systems; electricalsystem; and steering, hydraulic, ride control, and earthmoving equipment.

2. This work package explains how the systems and components of the machine work together. A functional description isprovided for each major component and system.

3. The machine has a sound suppressing Rollover Protective Structure/Falling Object Protective Structure (ROPS/FOPS)cab with insulation, heater, and air conditioning, which allows for all-weather operation. Removal of the ROPS/FOPSand exhaust stack is required for highway, Gabarit International de Chargement (GIC) rail transport, and Association ofAmerican Railroads (AAR).

ENGINE 0003 00

1. General. The machine is equipped with a Caterpillar C11 heavy-duty, Air-to-Air Aftercooling (ATAAC) diesel enginewith six in-line cylinders, generating 259 hp (net) and 283 hp (gross) at 1,800 rpm.

2. Fuel System.

a. Diesel fuel is drawn from the tank by a mechanical transfer pump, filtered by a primary fuel filter and a fuel/waterseparator, routed to the fuel injection pump and secondary filter, and then injected through the fuel injector nozzlesinto the engine cylinders.

b. Air is drawn in through dry-type, replaceable filter elements. A precleaner removes incoming dust from the air.

c. An Electronic Control Module (ECM) functions as the throttle and computer for the fuel system.

3. Cooling System. The cooling system provides coolant to the engine. Coolant is circulated through the engine by a gear-driven water pump. Hydraulic oil, transmission oil, and aftercoolers are located near the radiator. The engine oil cooleris mounted on the right side of the engine.

4. Lubrication System. The engine lubrication system consists of a gear-driven oil pump, oil filter, oil cooler, and oil pan.The engine is lubricated by cooled and pressurized oil that is circulated through the engine block and head.

5. Exhaust System.

a. The exhaust system routes exhaust gases from the engine through the exhaust manifold and turbocharger. Thegases flow into exhaust pipes and a muffler to the atmosphere above the cab.

b. The turbocharger has a wastegate, which helps improve engine emissions.

POWERTRAIN 0003 00

1. Transmission.

a. The machine is equipped with an ECM-controlled Caterpillar autoshift transmission with four forward speeds andfour reverse speeds.

b. Manual, automatic, or economy modes of transmission operation can be selected.

c. To increase operator efficiency, direction of travel can be controlled by using either a steering column-mountedtransmission control lever or a transmission direction control switch (remote F/N/R switch) on the loader controljoystick.

d. A transmission neutralizer system allows the operator to disengage the transmission by pressing the service brakepedals. This serves to stop the machine while increasing hydraulic response. This function can be turned off usingMessenger.

2. Front Axle. This axle is fixed and mounted to the frame.

3. Rear Axle. This axle is trunnion mounted to allow axle oscillation of ±13 degrees.

BRAKE SYSTEMS 0003 00

1. Service Brakes.

a. An engine-mounted, gear-driven pump provides hydraulic pressure for the service brakes. The service brakes are awet brake system mounted to the planetary.

b. Two service brake pedals operate a hydraulic valve, which directs hydraulic pressure through hydraulic lines forengaging multiple oil disc brake assemblies for each wheel.

c. The brake system has two accumulators, which ensure proper brake pressure is maintained.

2. Parking Brakes.

a. The parking brake is engaged via a switch on the dash in the cab.

b. If service brakes are lost, the parking brake can be applied to aid in stopping the machine.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM 0003 00

1. The electrical system consists of two 12V batteries connected in series-parallel with negative grounding, providing 24Vto operate the electrical systems and components.

a. Standard machines have two batteries with a Cold Cranking Amps (CCA) rating of 1,400 each.

b. Arctic operation machines have four batteries. Two have a rating of 1,400 CCA each and two have a rating of1,000 CCA each.

2. The system contains all the necessary switches, circuit breakers, fuses, relays, harnesses, and connectors to operate themachine, including a NATO slave receptacle.

3. The Messenger system allows the operator to view critical parameters that directly affect machine performance.

4. The following major systems comprise the electrical system:

a. Starting system

b. Charging system

c. Electronic engine, transmission, and machine system controls

d. Instrumentation

e. Service, work, and blackout lights

HYDRAULIC SYSTEM 0003 00

1. General. A main hydraulic pump driven by the engine provides power for steering and earthmoving equipment opera-tion.

2. Steering System.

a. The machine’s hydraulic steering system changes the machine’s angle of articulation.

b. Major components of the steering system are piston pump, metering pump, steering cylinders, and lines and fit-tings.

c. Two steering cylinders mounted to the loader rear frame section turn the front wheels. The cylinders are poweredby the hydraulic system and controlled by the steering wheel.

d. In the event of primary steering system failure, a secondary system automatically activates. An electric supplemen-tal steering pump provides emergency steering power.

HYDRAULIC SYSTEM - CONTINUED

3. Loader Hydraulic System. a. Work tool height (lift) and tilt movements are controlled using a single-lever joystick loader control. A rotary

thumb wheel on top of the joystick controls auxiliary hydraulic flow to the work tool (forklift pallet forks or rotarysweeper).

b. A single tilt cylinder centered over the loader arm controls tilt functions.c. Two lift cylinders, mounted between the front frame section and the loader arm, raise and lower the loader arm.

RIDE CONTROL SYSTEM 0003 00

1. The ride control system provides the means for absorbing forces from the lift cylinders while the machine is traveling.This system minimizes machine pitching when traveling over rough terrain.

2. The main components of the ride control system are accumulator, ride control valve, lift cylinders, and ride controlswitch on the operator console inside the cab.

3. The operator can choose three modes of ride control: OFF, MANUAL, or AUTOMATIC.

EARTHMOVING EQUIPMENT 0003 00

1. A loader arm with hydraulically activated quick coupler allows for easy and quick connection and disconnection ofwork tools without the need for operator to leave the cab.

2. The 966H Type I machine uses a Rock bucket with 4.5 yd3 (3.5 m3) capacity. The 966H Type II machine uses a GPbucket with 5.0 yd3 (3.8 m3) capacity.

3. Buckets can be interchanged with forklift pallet forks and a rotary sweeper.

Direction Selection

NOTEBackup alarm sounds when in reverse.

Direction is determined by position of lever that is located on left side of steering column or by remote forward/neutral/reverse (F/N/R) switch that is located next to bucket controls.1. Forward (1). Push lever forward to place transmis-

sion in FORWARD.2. Neutral (2). Place lever in middle position to place

transmission in NEUTRAL.3. Reverse (3). Pull lever rearward to place transmission

in REVERSE.

Remote F/N/R Switch

Once machine is started, NEUTRAL lamp should beon. Machine may be placed into gear either by using shifteror remote F/N/R switch. In order to use shifter, ensure thatremote F/N/R switch is in NEUTRAL position. Use shifterto select direction. The appropriate direction indicatorshould illuminate.

In order to use remote F/N/R switch, place shifter inNEUTRAL position. Select direction that is desired by usingremote F/N/R switch. The appropriate direction indicatorshould illuminate.

Transmission will be placed in NEUTRAL position ifboth shifter and remote F/N/R switch indicate a state that isnot NEUTRAL during operation. NEUTRAL lamp will beOFF. Both shifter and remote F/N/R switch must be placedin NEUTRAL position before normal operation can resume.

Speed (Gear) Selection

a. To manually shift transmission, autoshift switch (see callout 24 on page 0004 00-4) must be in MANUAL posi-tion.

b. Speed of machine is selected by rotating end of lever that is located on left side of steering column. Rotate switchforward or backward to increase or decrease speed of transmission. Transmission will remain in selected speeduntil lever is rotated to different speed. Speed of the machine is displayed on front dash.

c. When transmission downshift switch (see callout34 on page 0004 00-6) is depressed, it signalspowertrain ECM to downshift transmission byone speed. If second speed forward or secondspeed reverse is selected, transmission will shiftto first speed when switch is depressed. Trans-mission will remain in first speed until transmis-sion direction and speed control lever is shiftedto opposite direction or to NEUTRAL.

SERVICE BRAKE CONTROL (PEDALS) 0004 001. Left Service Brake Pedal (1).

a. Left service brake pedal provides three func-tions:

(1) Aggressive automatic downshifting oftransmission

(2) Neutralization of transmission

(3) Conventional braking

b. Left brake pedal is used to initiate automaticdownshifting of transmission at higher groundspeeds than standard automatic downshifting.

c. When left service brake pedal is depressed to acertain point, automatic downshifting and neu-tralization of transmission will occur for all posi-tions of autoshift switch. Automaticdownshifting and neutralizing of transmissionsaves wear on service brakes, axles, and compo-nents of powertrain.

d. Use left brake pedal for most conditions whenadequate traction is available.

2. Right Service Brake Pedal (2). a. Right service brake pedal is used to slow down machine’s ground speed when operator does not wish to have

transmission downshift aggressively.b. Right service brake pedal is normally used for braking when autoshift transmission control is downshifting ade-

quately.

Left Brake Pedal Operation

Functions of left brake pedal depend on position of left brake pedal and on position of autoshift switch.

a. Initial travel (A)

b. Downshifting and service brake application (B)

c. Additional travel (application of service brakes) (C)

d. Calibrated initial brake pressure point (D)

e. Set point for neutralization (E)

f. Pedal position for stopping the machine (F)

g. Maximum pedal travel (full application of service brakes) (G)

Initial travel (A) of left brake pedal will cause transmission to aggressively downshift. Transmission will downshift tolowest available speed. Lowest available speed depends on position of autoshift switch. Refer to Modes of Operation forTransmission Neutralizer table later in this work package for lowest available speed. Each downshift of transmission willreduce speed of machine. The transmission will downshift at higher speeds than normal automatic downshift speeds. Thetransmission will only downshift if an engine overspeed will not occur. The transmission will not upshift until left brake pedalis fully released.

The transmission will be engaged again after left brake pedal is released 4 degrees from pedal position (F). This will onlyhappen if transmission was neutralized. Service brakes will still be applied. This will allow transmission to be engaged whenbrakes are applied. This will help to prevent unwanted movement while operating on a slope.

TATTLETALE This menu allows the operator to view extreme recorded values of critical operating parameters and system information. When this feature is accessed, both Messenger and the instrument cluster will display these values.

The operator can request a full tattletale readout, during which all the indicators that have been activated during the session will light, all the gauges will be set to the maximum value (minimum for the fuel gauge) encountered during operation, and the maximum ground speed will be displayed on the LCD. The operator can also step through the tattletale value of each gauge, during which all of the inactive gauges will be set to the minimum value.

Modes Of OperationSMCS Code: 7348

Automatic Mode for the SingleCamera SystemThe single camera system is available only withthe automatic mode “enabled”. The single camerasystem can be placed in “Standby” if the system iscon�gured. Refer to the “Standby” for an explanationof the “Standby” option.

Manual mode is intended for use only with themultiple camera applications. Manual mode isdisabled for use in a single camera system.

Note: If the “single camera” system can be placed inmanual mode, notify Unit Maintenance.

In a single camera system, the system willautomatically display the camera view that is basedon current machine operation which is determined bythe system con�guration. For example, WAVS maybe con�gured to display the view from a rearwardlooking camera when the operator selects reversegear.

Standby

Your single camera system installation may becon�gured with the “Standby” feature that is enabledor disabled. If “Standby” is enabled, the displaywill remain dark unless the camera view has beenactivated by machine operation. Standby may beuseful at the following times:

• Travel at night.

• Reverse will not be used.

If the “Standby” feature is disabled and if thedisplay is on constantly, the operator has the optionof adjusting the brightness of the display. If the“Standby” feature is disabled and if the display is onconstantly, the operator has the option of adjustingthe contrast of the display.

Automatic Mode for a MultipleCamera SystemWhen the system is in the automatic mode, thesystem automatically selects the preferred cameraview that is based on current machine operationwhich is determined by the system con�guration. Forexample, WAVS may be con�gured to display theview from the rearward looking camera when theoperator selects reverse gear.

In a multiple camera system, the operator canoverride the automatic view by either of the followingselections:

• Selecting “Manual Mode” on the display

• Pressing the “Alternate Camera” switch

In the “Automatic” mode, automatic selection of eachcamera will be enabled and the appropriate camerawill be activated. In automatic mode, the display canalso be placed in “Standby”.

Note: The preferred camera view will always beshown on the display screen unless the display isplaced in “Manual” mode.

Alternate Camera Switch

The Alternate camera switch allows the third camerato be activated. In the example of the Off-HighwayTruck, the third camera is the side camera. Theswitch is a momentary switch that will need to beheld down in order to activate the third camera. Theimage on the display will return to the front cameraor the rear camera when the switch is released.This action is dependent on which of the camerasthat the machine is trying to activate. If the switch iscon�gured, this switch may also be providing powerto a light that concentrates on the viewing area ofthe side camera. If the system is con�gured this way,the light will turn on any time that the third camera isactivated with the Alternate camera switch.

ARCTIC COLD WEATHER STARTING AID SYSTEM 0006 00

1. General.

a. Machines that operate in extremely cold weather, from -25�F to -40�F (-32�C to -40�C), are factory equipped withan arctic cold weather starting aid system which includes:

(1) A diesel-fired arctic heater, mounted on left-rear of machine.

(2) Two additional batteries (1,000 CCA each).

WARNING

Use of an arctic heater requires that coolant in system to be heated contains a proper mixture of water andantifreeze to prevent coolant from freezing or slushing. If coolant freezes or slushes, coolant pump cannotmove coolant, causing blockage in circulating system. Pressure build-up in arctic heater can cause coolanthose at heater connection to burst or blow off. Injury to personnel or damage to engine could result.

b. Extreme care should be taken to ensure a proper mixture of water and antifreeze is used in engine cooling system(WP 0012 00).

c. Engine starting procedures for the arctic operation machine are the same as for the standard machine, except thatarctic heater must first be operated to preheat engine coolant.

PREVENTIVE MAINTENANCE CHECKS AND SERVICES (PMCS) INTRODUCTION 0011 00

GENERAL

1. To ensure that the 966H Wheel Loader is ready for operation at all times, it must be inspected on a regular basis so thatdefects may be found and corrected before they result in injury, damage, or equipment failure.

2. The PMCS Table in WP 0012 00 contains systematic instructions on inspections, lubrications, services, tests, and cor-rections to be performed by the operator to keep your equipment in good operating condition and ready for its primarymission.

EXPLANATION OF TABLE ENTRIES

1. Item Number (Item No.) Column. Numbers in this column are for reference. When completing DA Form 2404 or DAForm 5988-E (Equipment Inspection and Maintenance Worksheet), include the item number for the check/service indi-cating a fault. Item numbers also appear in the order that you must perform checks and services for the interval listed.

2. Interval Column. This column tells you when you must perform the procedure in the Procedure column.

a. Before procedures must be done immediately before you operate the loader.

b. During procedures must be done while you are operating the loader.

c. After procedures must be done immediately after you have operated the loader.

d. Weekly procedures must be done once each week.

e. Monthly procedures must be done once each month.

3. Man-Hours Column. This column indicates man-hours required to complete prescribed lubrication.

4. Location, Item to Check/Service Column. This column provides the location and item to be checked or serviced.

NOTEThe WARNINGs and CAUTIONs appearing in your PMCS table should always be observed. WARNINGsand CAUTIONs appear before applicable procedures. You must observe these WARNINGs to preventinjury or death to yourself and others, and CAUTIONs to prevent your equipment from being damaged.

5. Procedure Column. This column gives the procedure you must perform to check or service the item listed in the Itemto Check/Service column, to know if the equipment is ready or available for its intended mission. You must perform theprocedure at the time stated in the Interval column.

6. Not Fully Mission Capable If: Column. Information in this column tells you what faults will keep your equipmentfrom being capable of performing its primary mission. If you perform check/service procedures that show faults listed inthis column, the equipment is not mission-capable. Follow standard operating procedures for maintaining the equipmentor reporting equipment failure.

GENERAL PMCS PROCEDURES

1. Always perform PMCS in the same order so it gets to be a habit. Once you have had some practice, you will spot any-thing wrong in a hurry. If the machine does not perform as required, refer to the appropriate troubleshooting procedurein Chapter 3.

2. If anything looks wrong and you cannot fix it, write it on your DA Form 2404 or DA Form 5988-E. If you find some-thing seriously wrong, IMMEDIATELY report it to your supervisor.

3. Before performing preventive maintenance, read all the checks required for the applicable interval and prepare all that isneeded to make all the checks. You will always need a rag (Item 13, WP 0027 00) or two.

WARNINGSolvent cleaning compound MIL-PRF-680 Type III is an environmentally compliant and low toxicmaterial. However, it may be irritating to the eyes and skin. Use protective gloves and goggles. Use in well-ventilated areas. Keep away from open flames and other sources of ignition. Failure to follow this warningmay result in injury or death to personnel.

a. Keep It Clean. Dirt, grease, oil, and debris get in the way and may cover up a serious problem. Clean as you workand as needed. Use solvent cleaning compound (Item 2, WP 0027 00) on all metal surfaces. Use detergent (Item 4,0027 00) and water when you clean rubber, plastic, and painted surfaces.

WARNINGWhen servicing this machine, performing maintenance or disposing of materials such as engine coolant,hydraulic fluid, lubricants, battery acids or batteries, windshield cleaning compound, and CARC paint,consult your unit/local hazardous waste disposal center or safety office for local regulatory guidance. Iffurther information is needed, please contact The Army Environmental Hotline at 1-800-872-3845.

b. Hazardous Waste Disposal. Ensure all spills are cleaned up and disposed of IAW local policy and ordinances.c. Rust and Corrosion. Check metal parts for rust and corrosion. If any bare metal or corrosion exists, clean and

apply a light coat of lubricating oil (Item 9, 10, 11, or 12, WP 0027 00). Report it to your supervisor.d. Bolts, Nuts, and Screws. Check bolts, nuts, and screws for obvious looseness, missing, bent, or broken condition.

You cannot try them all with a tool, but look for chipped paint, bare metal, or rust around bolt heads. If you findone is loose, notify your supervisor.

e. Welds. Look for loose or chipped paint, rust, or gaps where parts are welded together. If you find a bad weld,report it to your supervisor.

f. Electric Wires and Connectors. Look for cracked or broken insulation, bare wires, and loose or broken connec-tors. Reconnect loose connectors. Ensure that wires are in good condition.

g. Hoses and Fluid Lines. Look for wear, damage, and signs of leaks. Check for loose clamps and fittings. Wet spotsindicate leaks, but a stain around a fitting or connector can also mean a leak. If a leak comes from a loose fitting orconnector, notify your supervisor. If something is broken or worn out, report it to your supervisor.

h. Fluid Leakage. It is necessary for you to know how fluid leakage affects the status of your machine. The follow-ing are definitions of the types/classes of leakage you need to know to be able to determine the status of yourmachine. Learn and be familiar with them, and remember: when in doubt, notify your supervisor.

LUBRICATION INSTRUCTIONS 0012 00

WARNINGWhen servicing this machine, performing maintenance, or disposing of materials such as engine coolant,hydraulic fluid, lubricants, battery acids or batteries, windshield cleaning compound, and CARC paint,consult your unit/local hazardous waste disposal center or safety office for local regulatory guidance. Iffurther information is needed, please contact The Army Environmental Hotline at 1-800-872-3845.

NOTE• Lubrication instructions contained in this PMCS are MANDATORY.• Overall view of lubrication points is located at the end of this work package. Localized views are located,

together with specific lubrication instructions, in the PMCS Table.• The loader is not enrolled in the Army Oil Analysis Program (AOAP). • Refer to FM 9-207 for lubrication in arctic operation.

1. Included in this PMCS are lubrication services to be performed by the operator. 2. Lubrication intervals are based on normal operation. Lubricate more during constant use and less during inactive peri-

ods. Use correct grade of lubricant for seasonal temperature expected. Refer to the KEY on the next page.3. For equipment under manufacturer’s warranty, hardtime intervals shall be followed. Shorten intervals if lubricants are

known to be contaminated or if operation is under adverse conditions (e.g., longer than usual operating hours, extendedidling periods, extreme dust, etc.).

4. Keep all lubricants in a closed container and store in a clean, dry place away from extreme heat. Keep container coversclean and do not allow dust, dirt, or other foreign material to mix with lubricants. Keep lubrication equipment clean andready for use.

WARNINGSolvent cleaning compound MIL-PRF-680 Type III is an environmentally compliant and low toxicmaterial. However, it may be irritating to the eyes and skin. Use protective gloves and goggles. Use in well-ventilated areas. Keep away from open flames and other sources of ignition. Failure to follow this warningmay result in injury or death to personnel.

5. Clean area around lubrication points with solvent cleaning compound (Item 2, WP 0027 00) or equivalent before lubri-cating equipment. Keep all external parts of equipment not requiring lubrication free of lubricants. After lubrication,wipe off excess lubricant to prevent accumulation of foreign matter.

6. Maintain a record of lubrication performed and report any problems noted during lubrication. Refer to DA PAM 750-8for forms and procedures to record and report any findings.
