Proper lubrication procedures are the key to a
good all-around maintenance program. If the oil is not doing its job, or if the oil level is ignored, all the maintenance procedures in the world are not going to keep the transmission running or assure long transmission life.

The use of mild EP gear oil or multi-purpose gear oil is not recommended, but if these gear oils are used, be sure to adhere to the following limitations:
Do not use mild EP gear oil or multi-pur-
pose gear oil when operating temperatures are
above 230°F (110
o
C). Many of these gear oils,
particularly 85W140, break down above 230°F and coat seals, bearings and gears with deposits that may cause premature failures. If these deposits are observed (especially a coating on seal areas causing oil leakage), change to Eaton Roadranger CD50 transmission fluid, heavy duty engine oil or mineral gear oil to assure maximum component life and to maintain your warranty with Eaton. (Also see “Operating Temperatures”.)
Additives and friction modifiers are not recom-
mended for use in Eaton Fuller transmissions.
Proper Oil Level
Make sure oil is level with filler opening. Because you can reach oil with your finger does not mean oil is at proper level. One inch of oil level is about one gallon of oil.
Draining Oil
Drain transmission while oil is warm. To drain oil remove the drain plug at bottom of case. Clean the drain plug before re-installing.
Refilling
Clean case around filler plug and remove plug from side of case. Fill transmission to the level of the filler opening. If transmission has two filler openings, fill to level of both openings.
The exact amount of oil will depend on the transmission inclination and model. Do not over fill—this will cause oil to be forced out of the transmission.
When adding oil, types and brands of oil should not be mixed because of possible incompatibility.

The transmission should not be operated consistently at temperatures above 250
However, intermittent operating temperatures
o
to 300
F (149oC) will not harm the transmission. Operating temperatures above 250 increase the lubricant’s rate of oxidation and shorten its effective life. When the average
operating temperature is above 250 transmission may require more frequent oil changes or external cooling.
The following conditions in any combina-
tion can cause operating temperatures of over

F: (1) operating consistently at slow

speeds, (2) high ambient temperatures, (3) restricted air flow around transmission, (4) exhaust system too close to transmission, (5) high horsepower, overdrive operation.

Proper Lubrication Levels as Related to Transmission Installation Angles
If the transmission operating angle is more than 12 degrees, improper lubrication can occur. The operating angle is the transmission mounting angle in the chassis plus the percent of upgrade (expressed in degrees).
The chart below illustrates the safe percent of upgrade on which the transmission can be used with various chassis mounting angles.
For example: if you have a 4 degree transmis-
sion mounting angle, then 8 degrees (or 14
percent of grade) is equal to the limit of 12 degrees. If you have a O degree mounting angle, the transmission can be operated on a
12 degree (21 percent) grade.
Anytime the transmission operating angle of 12 degrees is exceeded for an extended period of time the transmission should be
equipped with an oil pump or cooler kit to
insure proper lubrication.
Note on the chart the effect low oil levels can have on safe operating angles. Allowing the oil level to fall 1/2” below the filler plug hole reduces the degree of grade by approximately 3 degrees (5.5 percent).
Proper Lubrication Levels are Essential!
Transmission Oil Coolers are:
Recommended
— With engines of 350 H.P. and above
with overdrive transmissions
Required
— With engines 399 H.P. and above with
overdrive transmissions and GCW’S over 90,000 lbs.
— With engines 399 H.P. and above and
1400 Lbs.-Ft. or greater torque
— With engines 450 H.P. and above
With EP or Multipurpose Gear Oil
— Mild EP gear oil and multipurpose gear oil are
not recommended when lubricant operating temperatures are above 230°F (110). In addition, transmission oil coolers are not recom-
mended with these gear oils since the oil cooler materials may be attacked by these
gear oils. The lower temperature limit and oil cooler restriction with these gear oils generally limit their success to milder applications.

TIMING
Timing Procedures: All ModeIs
It is essential that both countershaft assemblies of the front and auxiliary sections are “timed. ” This assures proper tooth contact is made between mainshaft gears seeking to center on the mainshaft
during torque transfer and mating countershaft gears that distribute the load evenly. If not properly timed, serious damage to the transmission is likely to result
from unequal tooth contact causing the mainshaft gears to climb out of equilibrium.
Timing is a simple procedure of marking the appropriate teeth of a gear set prior to installation and placing them in proper mesh while in the transmis-
sion. In the front section, it is necessary to time only the drive gear set. And depending on the model, only the LO range, deep reduction, or splitter gear set is timed in the auxiliary section.
Front Section
A. Marking countershaft drive gear teeth.
1.
Prior to placing each countershaft assembly
into case, clearly mark the tooth located directly over the keyway of drive gear as shown. This tooth is stamped with an “O” to aid identification.
C. Meshing marked countershaft drive gear teeth
with marked main drive gear teeth. (After placing the mainshaft assembly into case, the countershaft bearings are installed to complete installation of the countershaft assemblies.)
1.
When installing the bearings on left countershaft, mesh the marked tooth of countershaft drive gear with either set or two marked teeth on the main drive gear.
2.
Repeat the procedure when installing the bearings on right countershaft, making use of the remaining set of two marked teeth on the main drive gear to time assembly.

TORQUE RECOMMENDATIONS
Correct torque application is extremely important to assure long transmission life and dependable performance. Over-tightening or under-tightening can result in a loose installation and, in many instances, eventually cause damage to transmission gears, shafts, and/or bearings. Use a torque wrench whenever possible to attain recommended lbs./ft. ratings. Do not torque capscrews dry.

TOOL REFERENCE
Some repair procedures pictured in this manual show
the use of specialized tools. Their actual use is recom-
mended as they make transmission repair easier, faster, and prevent costly damage to critical parts.
But for the most part, ordinary mechanic’s tools such as
socket wrenches, screwdrivers, etc., and other standard shop items such as a press, mauls and soft bars are all that
is needed to successfully disassemble and reassemble any Fuller Transmission.

PRECAUTIONS
Disassembly
It is assumed in the detailed disassembly instructions that the lubricant has been drained from transmission,
the necessary linkage and air lines disconnected and the transmission has been removed from vehicle chassis.
Removal of the gear shift lever housing assembly (or remote control assembly) is included in the detailed instructions (Disassembly and Reassembly—Shifting Controls); however, this assembly MUST be detached from shift bar housing before transmission can be removed.
FOLLOW CLOSELY EACH PROCEDURE IN THE DETAILED INSTRUCTIONS. MAKING USE OF THE TEXT. ILLUS-
TRATIONS AND PHOTOGRAPHS PROVIDED.
1
BEARINGS — Carefully wash and relubricate all
reusable bearings as removed and protectively wrap until ready for use. Remove bearings planned to be reused with pullers designed for this pur-
pose.
2. ASSEMBLIES — When disassembling the various assemblies, such as the mainshaft, countershaft, and shift bar housing, lay all parts on a clean bench in the same sequence as removed. This procedure will simplify reassembly and reduce the
possibility of losing parts.
3. SNAP RINGS — Remove snap rings with Pliers designed for this purpose. Snap rings removed in this manner can be reused, if they are not sprung or
loose.
4
INPUT SHAFT — The input shaft can be removed
from transmission without removing the coun-
tershafts, mainshaft, or main drive gear. Special procedures are required and provided in this manual.
5.
CLEANLINESS — Provide a clean place to work. It
is important that no dirt or foreign material enters the unit during repairs, Dirt is an abrasive and can
damage bearings. It is always good practice to clean the outside of the unit before starting the planned disassembly.
6. WHEN USING TOOLS TO MOVE PARTS — Always apply force to shafts, housings, etc, with restraint. Movement of some parts is restricted. Never apply
force to the part being driven after it stops solidly.
The use of soft hammers, bars and mauls for all disassembly work is recommended.
Inspection
Before reassembling the transmission, check each part carefully for abnormal or excessive wear and damage to determine reuse or replacement. When replacement is necessary, use only genuine Fuller Transmission parts to assure continued performance and extended life from your unit.
Since the cost of a new part is generally a small fraction of the total cost of downtime and labor, avoid reusing a questionable part which could lead to additional repairs and expense soon after initial reassembly. To aid in determining the reuse or replacement of any transmission part, consideration should also be given to the unit’s history, mileage, application, etc.
Recommended inspection procedures are provided in the following checklist.
A. BEARINGS
1.
Wash all bearings in clean solvent. Check balls, rollers and raceways for pitting, discoloration, and spalled areas. Replace bearings that are pitted, discolored, or spalled.
2.
Lubricate bearings that are not pitted, discolored, or spalled and check for axial and radial clearances.
3.
Replace bearings with excessive clearances.
4.
Check bearing fits. Bearing inner races should be tight to shaft; outer races slightly tight to slightly loose in case bore. If bearing spins freely in bore, however, case should be
replaced.
B. GEARS
1. Check gear teeth for frosting and pitting.
Frosting of gear tooth faces present no threat of transmission failure. Often in continued operation of the unit, frosted gears will “heal”
and not progress to the pitting stage. And in most cases, gears with light to moderate pitted teeth have considerable gear life remain-

PRECAUTIONS
Reassembly
Make sure that interiors of case and housings are clean. It is important that dirt and other foreign materials be kept out of the transmission during reassembly. Dirt is an abrasive and can damage polished surfaces of
bearings and washers. Use certain precautions, as listed below, during reassembly.
1.
GASKETS — Use new gaskets throughout the
transmission as it is being rebuilt. Make sure all gaskets are installed. An omission of any gasket can result in oil leakage or misalignment of bearing covers.
CAPSCREWS — To prevent oil leakage, use Loctite
2.
242 thread sealant on all capscrews. For torque ratings, see TORQUE RECOMMENDATIONS.
O-RINGS — Lubricate all O-rings with silicone lu-
3.
bricant.
4.
ASSEMBLY — Refer to the illustrations provided in
the detailed disassembly instructions as a guide to reassembly.
INITIAL LUBRICATION — Coat all limit washers
5.
and splines of shafts with Lubriplate during reassembly to prevent scoring and galling of such
parts.
6.
AXIAL CLEARANCES — Maintain original axial
clearances of .005” to .012” for mainshaft gears.
7.
BEARINGS — Use of flanged-end bearing drivers is
recommended for the installation of bearings. These special drivers apply equal force to both bearing races, preventing damage to balls/rollers and races while maintaining correct bearing alignment with bore and shaft. Avoid using a tubular or sleeve-type driver, whenever possible, as force is applied to only one of the bearing races. See TOOL REFERENCE.
8.
UNIVERSAL JOINT COMPANION FLANGE OR
YOKE — Pull the companion flange or yoke tightly
into place with the output shaft nut, using 450-500
foot-pounds of torque. Make sure the speedome-
ter drive gear or a replacement spacer of the same width has been installed. Failure to pull the com-
panion flange or yoke tightly into place will permit the output shaft to move axially with resultant
damage to the rear bearing.

IMPORTANT: REFER TO THE APPROPRIATE ILLUSTRATED PARTS LIST (SPECl-
FIE D BY MODEL SERIES) TO ENSURE THAT PROPER PARTS ARE USED DURING REASSEMBLY OF THE TRANSMISSION.

AIR SYSTEM
21
AIR SYSTEM
RANGE SHIFT AIR SYSTEM
Operation
The Range Shift Air System consists of the air filter/
regulator, slave valve, a Range Control Valve or Master Control Valve, range cylinder, fittings and connecting air lines. See Air System Schematics.
CONSTANT AIR from the air filter/regulator is sup-
plied to the “S” or Supply Port of slave valve and
passed through to the INLET or “S” Port of control valve.
WHILE IN LO RANGE, the control valve is OPEN
and AIR is returned to slave valve at the “P” or End
Port. This signals the valve to supply AIR in line between the LO Range or “L” Port of slave valve and the LO Range Port of range cylinder housing. AIR received at this port moves the range piston to the rear and causes the auxiliary LO RANGE gear to become
engaged.
WHILE IN HI RANGE, the control valve is CLOSED and NO AIR is returned to the slave valve. This signals the slave valve to supply AIR in line between
the HI Range or “H” Port of valve and the HI Range
Port of range cylinder cover. AIR received at this port moves the range piston forward to engage the auxiliary drive gear with sliding clutch and bypass the LO RANGE gear set.
Range shifts can be made ONLY when the gear
shift lever is in, or passing through, neutral. Thus, the range desired can be PRESELECTED while the shift
lever is in a gear position. As the lever is moved
through neutral, the actuating plunger in the shift bar housing releases the slave valve, allowing it to move to the selected range position.
Trouble Shooting
If the transmission fails to make a range shift or shifts too slowly, the fault may be in the Range Shift Air System or actuating components of the shift bar housing assembly.
To locate the trouble, the following checks should be made with normal vehicle air pressure applied to the system, but with the engine off.
NEVER WORK UNDER A VEHICLE
WHILE ENGINE IS RUNNING as personal injury may result from the sudden and unintended movement of vehicle under power. Always place transmission in the neutral position.
1. INCORRECT AIR LINE HOOK-UPS
(See Air System Schematics)
With the gear shift lever in neutral, move the control that provides range selection UP and DOWN. A. If the air lines are crossed between control
valve and slave valve, there will be CONSTANT AIR flowing from the exhaust port of control valve WHILE IN HI RANGE.
B. If the air lines are crossed between the slave
valve and range cylinder, the transmission gearing will not correspond with the range selection. A LO RANGE selection will result in a HI RANGE engagement and vice versa.
2.
AIR LEAKS
With the gear shift lever in neutral, coat all air lines and fittings with soapy water and check for leaks, moving the control that provides range selection UP and DOWN.
A.
If there is a steady leak from the exhaust port of control valve, O-rings and/or related parts of the control valve are defective.
B.
If there is a steady leak from breather of slave valve: an O-ring in valve is defective, or there is a leak past O-rings of range cylinder piston.
If transmission fails to shift into LO RANGE
C.
or is slow to make the range shift and the case is pressurized, see Check No. 7 of this section.
Tighten all loose connections and replace de-
D.
fective O-rings and parts.
3.
AIR FILTER/REGULATOR (See illustration, Page 23.)
With the gear shift lever in neutral, check the
breather of air fiiter/regulator assembly. There
should be NO AIR leaking from this port. The complete assembly should be replaced if a steady leak is found.
Cut off the vehicle air supply to the air filter/
regulator assembly, disconnect the air line at fitting in Supply OUTLET and install an air gage in opened port. Bring the vehicle air pressure to normal. Regulated air pressure should be 57.5 to 62.5 Psi.
DO NOT ADJUST SCREW AT BOTTOM OF REGULATOR TO OBTAIN CORRECT READINGS. The
air regulator has been PREADJUSTED within the correct operating limits. Any deviation from these limits, especially with regulators that have been in operation for some time, is likely to be caused by dirt or worn parts. If replacement or cleaning of the filter element does nothing to correct the air pressure readings, replace the complete assembly, as the air regulator is nonserviceable.
4.
RANGE VALVE (See Page 24.)
With the gear shift lever in neutral, select HI
RANGE and disconnect the air line at the OUTLET or “P” Port of control valve.
21
AIR SYSTEM
A.
When LO RANGE is selected, a steady blast of air will flow from opened port. Select HI
RANGE to shut off air flow. This indicates the control valve is operating properly. Reconnect air line.
B.
If control valve does not operate properly, check for restrictions and air leaks. Leaks indicate defective or worn O-rings.
5.
HI
RANGE OPERATION
With the gear shift lever in neutral, select LO
RANGE and disconnect the 1/4” I.D. air line at the port of range cylinder cover. Make sure this line leads from the HI Range or “H” Port of slave
valve.
A.
When HI RANGE is selected, a steady blast of air should flow from disconnected line. Select
LO RANGE to shut off air flow.
B.
Move the shift lever to a gear position and select HI RANGE. There should be NO AIR flowing from disconnected line. Return the gear shift lever to the neutral position. There should now be a steady flow of air from disconnected line. Select LO RANGE to shut off air flow and reconnect air line.
If the air system does not operate accord-
C.
ingly, the slave valve or actuating components of the shift bar housing assembly are defective.
IMPORTANT: RANGE PRESELECTION
The plunger pin, located in case bore between the slave valve and actuating plunger of shift bar housing, prevents the slave valve from operating while the shift lever is in a gear position. When the lever is moved to or through the neutral position, the pin is released and the slave valve becomes operational.
6. LO RANGE OPERATION
With the gear shift lever in neutral, select HI
RANGE and disconnect the 1/4” I.D. air line at the
fitting on range cylinder housing. Make sure this
line leads from the LO Range or “L” Port of slave
valve.
A.
When LO RANGE is selected, a steady blast of air should flow from disconnected line. Se-
lect HI RANGE to shut off air flow.
B.
Move the shift lever to a gear position and select LO RANGE. There should be NO AIR flowing from disconnected line. Return the gear shift lever to the neutral position. There should now be a steady flow of air from disconnected line. Select HI RANGE to shut off air flow and reconnect air line.
If the air system does not operate accord-
C.
ingly, the slave valve or actuating components of the shift bar housing assembly are defective.
7. RANGE CYLINDER (Refer to the following illustration.)
If any of the seals in the range cylinder assembly are defective, the range shift will be affected.
A.
Leak at either O-ring A results in complete failure to make a range shift; steady flow of air from breather of slave valve in both ranges.
B.
Leak at gasket B results in a steady flow of air
to atmosphere while in HI RANGE.
C.
Leak at O-ring C results RANGE; pressurizing of transmission case.

AIR SYSTEM
SPLITTER SHIFT
AIR SYSTEM:
Operation
In addition to the various components of the Range Shift Air System, the Splitter Shift Air System utilizes a splitter cylin-
der and the Roadranger Valve A-4900. See Air System
Schematics.
CONSTANT AIR from the air filter/regulator assembly is supplied to the splitter cylinder at the port on right side of cylinder cover. The Insert valve installed in cover (see page 27) provides the proper air flow needed to move the splitter piston in the cylinder (rearward to engage rear auxiliary drive gear for operation in direct; forward to engage the front auxiliary drive gear for operation in overdrive).
WHILE IN HI OR LO RANGE, AIR needed to make the splitter selection and complete the shift is supplied to the Roadranger valve from the tee fitting at the HI RANGE or “H” port of the slave valve. When the overdrive selection is made, the AIR passes through the Roadranger valve and is supplied to the Left Port of cylinder cover.
With Splitter Control Button in the “DIRECT’’/REARWARD position, the “SP” Port of the Roadranger valve is CLOSED and NO AIR is supplied to the Left Port of the Splitter cylinder cover.
Trouble Shooting
If the transmission fails to shift or shifts too slowly to or from the ‘(split” position, the fault may be in the Splitter Shift Air System or related components of the Range Shift Air System.
To locate the trouble, the following checks should be
made with normal vehicle air pressure supplied to the system, but with the engine off.
NEVER WORK UNDER A VEHICLE WHILE ENGINE IS RUNNING as
personal injury may result from the sudden and unintended movement of vehicle under power. Always
place transmission in the neutral position.
NOTE:
1.
It is assumed that correct PSI readings were obtained from the air filter/regulator and all air lines have been checked for leaks.
Air Supply (See Air System Schematics.)
With the gear shift lever in neutral, select HI or LO RANGE and loosen the connection at the "S“ Port of the Roadranger Valve until it can be determined that AIR is supplied to valve. Reconnect air line.
If there is NO AIR, check for a restriction in the air line between the Roadranger valve and slave valve. Make sure this line is connected to fitting at the supply Port of slave valve.
Button REARWARD
(“SP” Port Closed)
While in HI RANGE the button can be moved FORWARD to operate in OVERDRIVE. The "SP” Port of valve is OPENED when overdrive is selected, supplying AIR to the Left Port of the Splitter cylinder cover.
Button FORWARD
(“SP” Port Opened)
2.
Roadranger Valve (See Page 24 and Air System Schematics.)
With the gear shift lever in neutral, disconnect the air line at the Left Port of splitter cylinder cover, making sure this line leads from the "SP” Port of the Roadranger Valve. A. WHILE IN HI OR LO RANGE, move the Splitter
Control Button FORWARD. There should be AIR flowing from disconnected line. Move the button
REARWARD to shut off air flow and reconnect air line.
B. If the preceding conditions do not exist, the
Roadranger valve is defective, or there is a restric-
tion in the air lines.
Splitter Cylinder. (Refer to the following illustra-
3. tion.)
If any of the seals in the splitter cylinder assembly are defective, the splitter shift will be affected. The degree of air lost will govern the degree of failure, from slow shifting to complete shift failure. A. Leak at O-ring A results in a slow shift to engage
rear auxiliary drive gear; pressurizing of transmis-
sion case; auxiliary gearing can be disengaged.
25
AIR SYSTEM
B. Leak at O-ring B results in slow shifting or
complete failure to engage and disengage front or rear auxiliary drive gearing; steady flow of air from exhaust port of Roadranger valve and/or cylinder cover when Splitter Control Button is in the REARWARD position.
C. Leak at gasket C results in a slow shift to dis-
engage rear auxiliary drive gear; steady flow of air to atmosphere.
4. Insert Valve (See Page 27).
Any constant flow of air from exhaust port of cyl-
inder cover usually indicates a faulty insert valve.
Exhaust should occur ONLY BRIEFLY when Splitter Control Button is moved REARWARD WHILE IN LO and HI RANGE. A faulty insert valve, leaking at the O-rings of valve O.D. or from inner seals results in constant air leak and shift failure. Two indications of defective O-rings or seals are: A. CONSTANT AIR flowing from exhaust port of
cylinder cover.
B. CONSTANT AIR flowing from Exhaust Port
“E” of control valve WHILE SPLITTER CON-
TROL BUTTON IS REARWARD OR FORWARD (providing the control valve is operating pro-
perly). The three O-rings in position on valve O.D. can be replaced. However, if an inner seal is damaged, the complete assembly MUST be replaced.
26
AIR SYSTEM
INSERT VALVE: (EQUIPPED WITH ROADRANGER VALVE A-4900
The insert valve is a self-contained 1 - 3/16” valve as sembly located in the splitter cylinder cover. It CAN-
NOT be disassembled except for the three O-rings on
outer diameter. The O-rings provide a stationary seal
and do not move in cylinder.
When installing the insert valve in bottom edge of cover, apply Fuller #71206 silicone lubricant or its equivalent to O-rings and cylinder walls. Install valve in bore with flat surface to the outside. When installing the special valve retaining nut, apply Fuller
#71204 adhesive/sealant or its equivalent to threads and tighten. See TORQUE RECOMMENDATIONS.
Travel of the small insert valve piston is only 3/16”. As shown in the illustrations below, when NO AIR is applied to the top side of valve piston, CONSTANT
AIR supplied from the regulator passes to the
FRONTSIDE of cylinder piston, moving the yoke bar
backward to engage the REAR AUXILIARY DRIVE GEAR (LO RANGE DIRECT AND HI RANGE DIRECT). The piston moves up to cut off air to the back side of the cylinder piston. This air is exhausted out the cylinder cover as the piston moves rearward.
When AIR is applied to top side of valve piston, through signal line, the piston moves down passing air through the bottom of insert valve to the front and backside of the cylinder piston, moving the yoke bar FORWARD engaging the FRONT AUXILIARY DRIVE
GEAR (LO RANGE OVERDRIVE AND HI RANGE OVERDRIVE).
