Drive
Fuel System
The LPG engine uses a vaporizer/regulator to convert the fuel from a liquid to a gas for combustion. The Engine Control Unit electronically regulates the fuel, air, and spark advance to provide the necessary torque. The engine control unit’s inputs include manifold air pressure, manifold air temperature, engine coolant temperature, accelerator pedal position, throttle position, engine speed, cam signal and oxygen sensor signal. The system is designed to allow heavy petroleum deposits such as polypropylene or “tar” to pass through the system.
Drive Axle
The drive axles are designed to withstand heavy loads and absorb shocks. The wheel hubs rotate on large tapered roller bearings. The drive shaft transmits rotational torque to the drive axle from the engine and transmission. Transmission torque is distributed through a planetary gear reduction and a spiral bevel gear set. The drive axle is a self-contained assembly that is isolated from the transmission by heavy duty rubber isolators. The axle shafts’ root splines are cut through the hobbing process for increased resistance to torsion stress and long life. A magnetic sump plug is used to collect any metal particles that are circulating in the axle oil, preventing component wear.
Premium Wet Disc Brakes
All models come standard with premium wet disc brakes, providing excellent stopping power with an extremely long service life.
Hydraulic Power Steering
Hydrostatic steering provides low-effort, responsive control and eliminates mechanical linkages for reduced surface shock and simplified maintenance. The steering wheel is 12 inches in diameter and is mounted on a column that is adjustable for operator comfort. The steering system is designed to provide excellent maneuverability and control, even in tight spaces.
