240-8591 Fuel Tank and Hydraulic Tank Guard

This group provides sheet metal guards for the fuel tank, the hydraulic tank, the brake accumulators, and the hydraulic oil filter. These guards provide protection from the slag and these guards also act as deflectors from the radiant heat.

242-6035 Cab Guard Gp

This shroud assembly provides protection in the lower front portion of the cab. Both the brake lines and the steering lines are guarded from the hot slag. This shroud also acts as a deflector from the radiant heat.

247-3027 Transmission Support

This group provides added support for the transmission, which is beneficial for applications that include a high number of directional changes.

249-2679 Tilt Cylinder Guard Gp

The tilt cylinder guard is a sheet metal guard above the tilt cylinder that provides protection from falling slag.

289-8295 Step Gp

The 289-8295 Step Gp replaces the rear standard rubber supports for the steps with steel cable supports. These steps provide longer life in a high temperature environment.

265-6753 Enclosed ROPS Cab Ar

This arrangement includes rubber mounted glass for quick replacement.

284-8613 Lines Guard Gp

This group provides steel guards for the main implement valves and for the steering cylinders. A protective wrap for high temperatures is also called out for the various hydraulic lines and the electrical lines that are listed below:

  • Steering lines

  • Tilt lines

  • Lift lines

  • Ride control lines (if equipped)

  • Hydraulic tank lines

  • Hydraulic lines for the main valve

  • Fuel lines

  • Front wiring harness

  • Supplemental steering lines (if equipped)

  • Power train oil filler

  • Lines for manually lowering the lift arm

  • Parking brake cable

  • Lighting group

273-5629 Override Control Gp

Multiple overrides can be found in this group. These systems are designed to provide the operator with alternate controls in an emergency situation.

Parking Brake Override - The parking brake override allows the operator to release the parking brake from the rear of the machine.

Transmission Override - The transmission override allows the operator to bypass the standard transmission control module. The transmission override also allows the operator to shift the machine into first gear forward or first gear reverse.

Auxiliary Ignition - The auxiliary ignition provides the operator with the option of bypassing the standard ignition switch.

Note: These overrides cannot possibly address every failure mode. The overrides simply give the operator an alternative option.

Operating instructions for these overrides are included in this document.

282-1794 Signal Lighting Gp

This group mounts the front flood lamps and signals closer into the frame which is beneficial for operating the machine in narrow places.

283-2173 Rear Frame Hardware Gp

Blocks are added to the frame in order to support the heavy-duty transmission mounts.

284-2175 Front Fender Gp

These narrow steel fenders replace the standard fenders. All rubber components that could deteriorate with high temperatures are removed.

284-2176 Loader Frame Gp

This group adds the weld studs for the Guard GP to the loader frame.

286-3807 Power Train Electronic Control Module

This is software for the control module that is used on the Steel Mill Arrangement.

303-4010 Brake Control Conversion Ar (Parking)

The 303-4010 Brake Control Conversion Ar (PARKING) provides new bearings in order to avoid locking the lever that is in the brake control group.

(D) Auxiliary engine shutdown switch

Your 980H Wheel Loader comes with a parking brake system that is activated by a spring and released hydraulically. If the machine stalls the switch for the parking brake release can be activated so the machine can be towed. The switch for the parking brake release is located in the rear grill of the machine. In order to access the switch, flip up the switch guard. Move the switch upward in order to release the parking brake. An auxiliary accumulator stores hydraulic pressure which releases the parking brake when the switch is activated.

The parking brake override also has a test mode. Move the switch downward in order to enter the test mode. The green indicator should light indicating that the system is working correctly. Test the parking brake override daily. If the green indicator lamp does not light, contact your local dealer for service. The machine should not be put back into operation until this issue is resolved. When the test is completed, make sure that the toggle switch is put back into the center position. Make sure that the guard for the switch is closed in order to protect the switch.

Note: Make sure that the parking brake override is not activated when you park the machine. Close the switch guard in order to deactivate the switch. When the switch guard is closed, the override switch is placed back into the center neutral position. The override switch should be in the center neutral position during normal operation.

Override Switches

The steel mill arrangement includes three override switches that are located in the cab. These switches are located on the right hand side of the cab toward the rear of the machine.

System Power Switch

The system power switch (H) should be activated in the forward position if the override feature is needed and the green indicator is not on. If the green indicator is on, leave the switch in the back position.

Note: If this switch needs to be activated contact your local dealer immediately for service. The machine should not be placed back into operation until the dealer has inspected the machine.

Auxiliary Ignition Switch

Your 980H Wheel Loader is equipped with an auxiliary ignition switch (G). This switch should only be used if the standard ignition switch fails. In order to activate, make sure that the green indicator lamp is on. If the lamp is not on, move the system power switch into the activated forward position. When the indicator lamp is on, the auxiliary ignition switch can be put into the momentary forward position in order to start the machine. Hold the switch forward until the machine starts. Once the machine is started, the transmission can be put into first gear forward, neutral, or first gear reverse by using the override switch (F) .

Note: If this switch needs to be activated, contact your local dealer immediately for service. The machine should not be placed back into operation until the dealer has inspected the machine.

Switch for the Transmission Override

Your 980H Wheel Loader comes with a switch (F) for the transmission override. If the transmission does not shift properly with the standard controls, the transmission override can be used. The switch for the transmission override has three positions :FIRST GEAR FORWARD (toggle switch in the forward position), NEUTRAL (toggle switch in the middle position) and FIRST GEAR REVERSE (toggle switch in the back position).

Note: The transmission override should only be used in an emergency situation. During normal operation, the switch for the transmission override should be in the center neutral position.

Note: If this switch needs to be activated, contact your local dealer immediately for service. The machine should not be placed back into operation until the dealer has inspected the machine.

It is important to maintain the machine according to all routine scheduled service. The override functions should be tested on a daily basis. Contact your local dealer for more information.
