Installation Requirements
Installation Requirements
Fuller UltraShift ASW transmission systems installed at OEM facilities must meet the requirements and be approved using the
Eaton Transmission Application Approval Form. Please contact Eaton Application Engineering or your OEM's Application depart-
ment for the latest Application form.
1.
Space Requirements - Fuller UltraShift ASW transmission systems require a minimum of 5” (127 mm) clearance from
any high temperature device (i.e. Exhaust Crossover Pipes, Catalytic Convertor) that generate heat at a maximum of
500° F. The systems to be avoided are the Shift Motors, Sensors, Wire Harness and Transmission Controller (see fig-
ure). * If you must deviate from this distance and temperature an Eaton Approved heat shield must be used.
2.
Cab Floor Access Plate - A cab floor access plate is necessary for access and removal of components from the trans-
mission top. Plate size must be sufficient to allow removal of the transmission Controller or the Electric Shifter.
3.
Lubrication Requirements -Transmission WetClutch- synthetic Dexron III. Transmission Gear Box - Roadranger®
CD50 or equivalent E500 synthetic as specified in Eaton publication TCMT-0021.
4.
Electrical Wiring Requirements - It is the OEM responsibility to provide power and ground to the Transmission Control-
ler from a reliable battery source. The power (+) connection must include overload protection per Fed- eral Motor Car-
rier Safety Regulations, Section 393.31 Main Power and Ground must be able to carry 20 amps@ 9 volts with no more
than .05 ohms from the battery source.The cable outside the cab shall be a minimum of 16 gauge (1.0 mm²). The cable
inside the cab shall be a min- imum of 18 gauge (0.8 mm²).
When the Eaton Push Button Shift Control is used the EPL (the communications link between the Shift Control and the
Transmission Controller) must be a twisted shielded pair; Belden, J-1939, or equivalent.
The J-1939 (the communications link between the Shift Control and the Engine Controller ECM) must followSAE J-1939
specifications.
The SAE J-1587 connector must be easily accessible and mounted on the left side of the cab.
5.
Harnesses - Do not splice any transmission harness to supply another system with information. Using the cabling for
any purpose other than transmission control could cause a system failure.
6.
Power-Battery - (+) and (-) must be disconnected PRIOR to any type of welding on any Fuller UltraShift ASW equipped
vehicles.
7.
Power-Battery - Must be disconnected PRIOR to removal or installation of ECU harness connectors.
8.
Speedometers - No mechanical speedometers.
9.
Line Inspection - Prior to shipment of Eaton transmission systems installed at OEM plants, the transmission must pass
the requirements outlined on the checklist form. See the Line Inspection section in this manual.
10. Oil Cooler - An Eaton approved air to oil or water to oil cooler is required.
11. Lifting Eyes and Sensor Position - Bolts used for retaining sensors or lifting eyes are not to be used for any other pur-
poses or have any other brackets attached to them.
12. Fan Drive Requirements - The recommended practice is for the engine fan be wired into the engine ECM, this includes
the manual fan override switch. The OEM should use fan clutches that can be controlled by the engine(i.e. electrome-
chanical). Failure to comply with this recommended practice can cause Eaton transmissions to inhibit shifts when the
engine fan is on.
