TECHNICAL INFORMATION
system. One wheel slip sensor is mounted at
each front axle and drive axle wheel. The Tag
axle wheels are slave to the drive axle wheels.
The Electronic Control Module (ECM) is
maintenance free. Its operating voltage is 24 ± 6
volts DC. The thermal operating range for the
ECM is from -40 to 167°F (-40 to 75°C).
The solenoid control valves are maintenance
free. Their operating voltage is 24 (+4.8, -2.4)
volts DC. The rated current draw is 1.65 amps.
The thermal operating range of the solenoid
control valves is from -40 to 176°F (-40 to 80°C).
STEERING
• Tilt steering wheel and telescopic steering
column
• Integral hydraulic assisted steering gear
• System pressure: 2175 psi (15 000 kPa)
ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
• 24 volt, negative ground
