Snorkel MB26-sn435-999 - Manual (Page 9)

1. Introduction

ROTATION GEAR
The complete mast, jib and cage assembly can be rotated to provide a maximum outreach
of 2.6m in the case of the MB20N and 2.96m in the case of the MB26 machine. This
dimension is measured from the centreline of rotation and is carried out by means of an
integral hydraulic motor driving a Worm Drive Unit, around a Slew Gear.
DRIVE & STEER SYSTEM
An electronic controller, mounted in the chassis, is pre-programmed to adjust the upper
speed limit of each individual function. The controller limits the rotational speed of the
electronic motor and oil pump, thereby limiting the maximum oil flow rate. The following
functions are controlled and driven by the electro-hydraulic system:
• Traction Drives (Fwd & Rev) mast stowed/mast raised.
• Steering and Jib elevation.
• Mast elevation, descent and rotation.
• The Jib descent function is gravity operated and is determined by built in flow regulators.
POWER SYSTEM
The Power System (Prime Mover) incorporates four 6V batteries driving a 4KW
electrohydraulic pump. The pump drives all hydraulic cylinders and the traction drive
motors. A single multi-valve control block diverts the oil pressure to the individual actuators.
The oil flow rate is limited by the pre-programmed speed setting on the motor but is
determined by the position of the joystick in the Upper Control Box.

C A U T I O N
Detailed descriptions of standard workshop procedures, safety principles
and service operations are not included. Note that this manual does contain
warnings and cautions against some specific service methods that could
