2. PERIODIC MAINTENANCE
Regular maintenance is required to insure optimum loader performance and long life for machine
components. Maintain a loader by performing periodic maintenance at the intervals listed in the
Periodic Maintenance table below.
If a loader is being operated in severe weather conditions such as extreme heat or cold, or in sandy, dusty,
or snowy areas, increase the frequency of periodic maintenance as necessary.

COMMANDER 15
AIRLINE EQUIPMENT
NOTE: If sprockets are replaced, replace the chain also. Using an old chain on new sprockets
will cause premature wear of the sprockets.
B. Roller Chain Inspection
(1) Inspect chains for elongation by comparing with a new chain. If elongation is 3% or more
(3 links in 100, or about 1/2 link in 17), replace the chain.
(2) Inspect chain for discoloration. Brown or red color on chain or in oil indicates presence
of rust. Remove chain and inspect rollers, links, and pins. If evidence of galling,
s
excessive wear, or corrosion exists, replace chain.
ne
(3) Inspect chain for proper adjustment. The chain slack should be within the operating
rli
range as tabulated and measured in para. C below.
Ai
C. Roller Chain Adjustment
Frequent adjustment of roller chains should not be required; however, a check should be made
an
periodically as listed in the Periodic Maintenance table in Chapter-Section 2-1.
(1) Remove deck plates as necessary to gain access for adjustments.

ic
er
(2) Loosen the bearing mounting bolts (Figure 1). Keep mounting bolts snug to ease
adjustment and prevent unintentional movement of shaft.
Am
(3) On shaft with additional support (Figure 1), loosen the support mount bolts completely
so the bearing will move freely.
of
(4) Measure slack in the chain by lightly pushing down at the midpoint of one chain span
(Figure 2). Push just enough to take up the slack in the other span(s). At that midpoint,
ty
measure the distance from the center of the chain pin, or another convenient location,
to a stationary reference. Typically, this reference will be the platform or bridge frame.
er
Record measurement as “A”.

op
(5) Now push the the chain up and, in the same manner as before, record measurement “B”.
Be sure to use exactly the same reference locations used to record measurement “A”.
Pr
(6) The difference between measurements “A” and “B” is the amount of slack in the chain.
(7) Using the adjuster jam nuts (Figure 1), adjust the center distance (Figure 2) between the
sprockets to obtain the slack listed in Table 1. Note that in some cases, adjustment of
one chain may effect another chain adjustment. Check all chains and continue
progressive adjustment until all are correct.

D. HeliRoll Casting Repair
The HeliRoll castings are occasionally damaged by impact with defective containers or pallets.
Also, the roller pin may be broken and the roller lost. If the “D” hole of the casting is intact and
the round hole will still capture the pin, simply replace the missing parts. If the casting is damaged
so that the pin will not be retained, it is still possible to repair weld it without removing it from the
loader. A badly worn drive pin slot can also be repaired using this process. Refer to Figure 3 and
Figure 4.
(1) Rotate the shaft with the damaged HeliRoll casting until the location requiring repair is
at the top. Remove any oxidization with a wire brush or similar device.
s
ne
(2) Insert the roller pin, FMC P/N 620-0283, into the casting in its normal position. The pin
will act as a pattern for the weld buildup. Refer to step (4) below for recommended
welding processes.

an
BEFORE PERFORMING ANY MAINTENANCE OR WHILE MAKING ANY
ADJUSTMENTS OR REPAIRS TO THE LOADER, IT IS MANDATORY THAT
ic
THE MASTER SWITCH BE TURNED OFF (POWER UNIT STOPPED).
er
NOTE: Park loader on level ground in a safe, well lit maintenance area and extend the stabilizers.
Am
NOTE: Amber indicator light for parking and stabilizers should be illuminated.
(1) Chain Wear Inspection

of
During chain operation, some metal-to-metal contact does occur, and parts eventually
wear. The progressive joint wear elongates chain pitch, causing the chain to lengthen.
ty
By placing a certain number of pitches under tension, elongation can be measured.

When elongation reaches the limit of 12–1/4” over any 8 pitches in areas receiving the
er
most wear, or recommended by the manufacturer “wear indicator,” the chain should be
replaced. It is imperative that chain replacement be done in pairs.
op
(2) Clevis and Spring Clips
Check all clevis pins and spring clips for wear and damage on the ends of the lift chains.
Pr
There are four (4) chains with clevis pins on each end that are retained with a hardened
washer and a spring clip. Replace worn, or damaged, clevis pins. Spring clips are not
reusable and must be replaced when removed (ref. Figure 5, Figure 8 and Figure 9).
NOTE: Do not replace spring clips with cotter pins.
(3) Spring Clip Installation
(a) Install clevis pin in the lift chain and anchor and place the hardened washer over
the pin and against the chain link plate.

(b) Using needle nose pliers, place the tang of the clip in the clevis pin hole and lift
the loop of the clip over the pin end, then push the clip until it snaps in place.
(c) After the clip has been installed, check and make sure the loop is tight against
the tang (ref. Figure 7).
(4) Inspect Chain Pins (Link Pins)
Inspect the lift chain outside link plates for pin rotation. Highly loaded chain, operating
with inadequate lubrication, can generate abnormal frictional forces between pin and link
plates. In extreme instances, the torque could surpass the press fit force between the
s
pins and the outside plates, resulting in pin rotation. Pins are oriented with all the “VEE”
ne
flats in alignment when the chain is manufactured.
Chain with rotated or displaced pin heads, or abnormal pin protrusion, must be replaced
immediately (ref. Figure 6).

(5) Secondary Chain Adjustment (Only if Required) (Figure 8)
(a) With the platform fully down, examine the top of the rear lift mechanism. The gap
between the inner slide assembly and the outer stationary housing should be
the same on both sides. If the gap is equal on both sides, go to step (b). If the
gap is not the same, see step (c).
(b) Tighten the chain on the side with the smallest gap by rotating the secondary
chain adjuster nut clockwise. Use a 38mm or 1-1/2" socket and 36" long,
.75" drive extension. The secondary chain adjuster nut is located on the front
side of the secondary lift cylinders on top of the casting to which the three lift
cylinders are bolted. Continue to tighten the nut until the gap is equal on the left
s
and right sides.
ne
(c) With an equal gap on the left and right sides between the inner slide assembly
and the outer housing, tighten both the left and right secondary chain adjuster
rli
nuts 1/2 turn. Observe the inner slide assembly while raising the platform. The
inner slide assembly should not shift to the side when the platform starts to lift

of
The hydraulic system is a closed center system with a load sensing control that automatically regulates
ty
pump displacement. When there is no system demand, the pump stands by at near zero flow and low
pressure.
er
When making performance checks, hydraulic system pressure checks, or hydraulic system adjustments,
op
the hydraulic oil must be at normal operating temperature.

Eye protection, safety glasses or a face shield must always be worn for protection against injury when
hydraulic systems are under pressure and adjustments are being made.
Pr
The loader drive wheels must always be chocked to prevent movement of the loader in either direction,
and the stabilizers extended by placing the MODE SWITCH in the OPERATE position.
All adjustments on the bridge can be accomplished with the bridge in the fully lowered position. The
platform must have the maintenance stands installed to support the platform whenever personnel are
required to go under the platform for maintenance or adjustment procedures.

(1) Inductive Proximity Switch
ne
The proximity switch is a generic term which means it is a device capable of acting as
an electronic switch when in the presence or close proximity of a metallic object. The
rli
important distinction that differentiates it from a mechanical switch is that it does not
require physical contact with anything else to operate.

2. INTRODUCTION
op
The COMMANDER is a hydraulically operated, electrically controlled aircraft pallet/container loader. The
hydraulic and electrical systems are complex and require a thorough understanding to determine the
Pr
cause of a malfunction, or failure of a component. System diagnosis is mandatory to locate a component

that is out of adjustment or has failed, in the minimum amount of time.
3. HYDRAULIC SYSTEM
A. The hydraulic system is a closed-center system with a load-sensing control that automatically
regulates pump displacement. When there is no system demand, the pump stands by at near
zero flow and low pressure. When the system demands flow, the pump delivers only the flow
required by the system at a pressure required to move the load, plus standby pressure.
2–4
TROUBLESHOOTING Page 1
Aug. 01
COMMANDER 15
AIRLINE EQUIPMENT
B. A heavy-duty, liquid-filled pressure gauge is installed at the propel/lift manifold, and hydraulic
system diagnosis is accomplished by observing the pressure readings on the gauge when a
particular hydraulic circuit is actuated. The hydraulic schematics and adjustment procedures
indicate the correct setting for each pressure adjustment.
C. The first step in diagnosing a malfunction is to isolate the malfunction to the hydraulic system
or to the electrical control system.
All solenoid actuated control valves in the hydraulic system are equipped with a manual override
that can be used to actuate the valve should there be a loss of electrical current. The manual
override shifts the valve spool and permits oil flow for the loader function to operate. The pressure
s
gauge can be observed for the correct pressure reading for the system (loader function) in use.
ne
NOTE: To obtain oil flow and pressure at the valve assemblies on the bridge and platform, it is
necessary to actuate the pilot valve with the directional control valve in hydraulic circuits
rli
with a pilot valve.
Ai
D. Use the Hydraulic Troubleshooting Guide (Figure 1) to assist in locating the cause of a
malfunction when incorrect pressure or incorrect flow has been determined.

4. ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
The COMMANDER 15 Loader has a 24-volt DC electrical system that controls all functions of the loader.
The components of the electrical system are located in the main panel and in the bridge console.
Proximity switches in various locations sense a specific position of a mechanical component for the
actuation and interlocking of electrical circuits.
A. Main Panel
The main panel is located on the power unit and contains relays and contactors associated with
operation of the power unit, and circuit breakers for overload protection. A terminal block strip
is used for interconnecting the power unit wiring with the loader’s electrical system. The platform
s
convey modules and platform lift module are also located in this panel.
ne
B. Driver’s Panel
rli
The driver’s panel on the console has the engine fault lights and the switches required to drive
and position the loader at the aircraft.
Ai
C. Control Panel
an
The control panel on the console has the necessary switches for the loader functions that are
required for cargo operations, and an emergency stop switch that shuts the loader power unit
down and disconnects power to the control circuits.
ic
D. Bridge Panel
er
The bridge panel is located in the console and contains the propulsion board and the system
Am
status panel. Wire harnesses connect these components to the main panel, driver’s panel,
control panel, solenoid valves, and proximity switches. The bridge convey module is also located
here.
E. Status Panel (Figure 42 thru Figure 45)
of
The status panel, mounted on the inside of the bridge panel door, is connected to the bridge PCB
by one cable. The status panel monitors the COMMANDER electrical system and provides a
ty
visual indication of relays that are energized (actuated) and the solenoid valve circuits that are
energized at any given time, and reduces the time required to locate a misadjustment or a failed
er
component. This visual approach to troubleshooting eliminates many electrical checks with a
voltmeter and the use of test lights. Schematic drawings of the electrical system must be used
op
when troubleshooting and using the status panel as a visual aid. A decal is provided beside the
status panel as a quick reference guide.
Pr
CAUTION JUMPER WIRES SHOULD NEVER BE USED BECAUSE AN ERROR

(SHORT CIRCUIT) CAN DESTROY THE CIRCUIT BOARD.
Troubleshooting the COMMANDER 15 Loader is simplified with the status panel, and most
troubleshooting can be done with the power unit (engine) OFF. With the MASTER START
SWITCH in the ON position and the START ENABLE SWITCH held on, the electrical current is
provided to the control switches. When a control switch is actuated for a loader function, a
combination of lights will illuminate on the status panel. With the power unit OFF, and with no
hydraulic flow, the loader remains static and the electrical system can be diagnosed for a
misadjustment or failed component.
2–4
Page 48
MAINTENANCE
Aug. 01
COMMANDER 15
AIRLINE EQUIPMENT
To use the status panel as a troubleshooting aid, start the power unit and set the MODE SWITCH
to OPERATE to let the stabilizers fully extend, then shut the power unit down. Turn the ignition
switch to the ON position and hold START ENABLE SWITCH in NORMAL mode, but DO NOT
start the power unit. Actuate a switch that commands the loader function that has a problem and
observe and record the status panel lights that are illuminated. Refer to the status panel function
guide on page 55 for the lights that should be illuminated for a loader function.
NOTE: Some troubleshooting checks require the MODE SWITCH be in DRIVE and the
stabilizers fully retracted when observing the status panel indicator lights.
Raise or lower the platform or bridge to the position a malfunction occurs and shut the power unit
s
down. Turn the ignition switch ON – DO NOT START THE POWER UNIT – then observe
ne
the illuminated lights on the status panel. Refer to the status panel function guide for the lights
that should be illuminated.
rli
Incorrect display of status panel indicator lights will require reviewing the electrical schematics
to diagnose the problem.
Ai
Failure to obtain relay lights indicates there is a possible failure in the power feed, the switch being
actuated or of an interlock contact (another relay) that did not actuate closed to complete the
circuit. If the relay light is illuminated as required, the control circuit has been completed and no
an
further checking is required.
The solenoid valve indicator lights indicate that control circuits have been completed and there
ic
is an output from the relay to the solenoid valves. If the solenoid valve does not actuate with the
indicator light illuminated, a voltmeter check must be made at the valve to verify that there is not
er
an open circuit between the console and the valve. Always make voltmeter checks across the
solenoid valve terminals; DO NOT use the loader frame for ground.
Am
F. Proximity Switch
Proximity switches require inspection for loose or broken wires. Refer to Figure 46 for proximity
switch locations.

5. TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE
The following guide lists loader malfunctions and some possible causes of a listed malfunction. When
there is a problem or malfunction of the loader, read through the list on the left side of the chart. Possible
causes are listed to the right.
This guide lists the most common problems that could be encountered, but is not meant to replace
troubleshooting procedures that require diagnosing a system malfunction using the hydraulic and
electrical schematics.
The status panel indicator lights on the bridge electrical panel, and an accurate voltmeter, must be used
to identify electrical problems. Electrical schematics must be referred to when troubleshooting the
s
COMMANDER electrical system. Proximity switches and pressure switches must be adjusted to
specifications when they are replaced (refer to Chapter-Section 2-3, Hydraulic & Electrical Adjustment
ne
Procedures).
Hydraulic troubleshooting can be done using the pressure gauge that is installed as standard equipment
rli
and the hydraulic schematics.
Ai
Hydraulic component problems are usually caused by oil contamination and many components can be
made serviceable by a thorough cleaning. Hydraulic filter elements must be replaced when a system has
been cleaned of contamination. The hydraulic filter element must be replaced whenever the warning
an
indicator is visible.
When a component is repaired or replaced, always check the hydraulic circuit for the correct indicated
ic
pressure and correct actuator speeds. Refer to the adjustments and performance specifications.
The Troubleshooting Guide does not include obvious causes such as burned out light bulbs, loose wire
er
connections, physical damage to wire harnesses, components, etc. It is assumed that the technician will
check these items before proceeding with detailed troubleshooting procedures and adjustments.
