SAF-HOLLAND XL-LG326-01 FORMULA 150 – Model LG150-1C9-CS502 Manufactured after 7-1-92 - Manual (Page 5)

NOTE: Holland Olympix 2-speed gearbox has
high and low range gears. High range gear
is to be used only for rapid traverse up and
down from the ground and is not intended
to lift any load. For complete tractor-trailer
coupling and uncoupling procedures, refer to
Holland publication FW-TE-14-B, entitled
“Fifth Wheel Operating Instructions”.
To Extend:
On outside mounted landing gears, engage the crank
with the crankshaft and turn the crank clockwise.
Inside mounted landing gears are extended by
turning the crank counterclockwise. Using high gear,
lower the landing gear until the pads make contact
with the ground. To reduce the load on the fifth
wheel, shift to low gear and crank an additional 4 to
8 turns. Leave the landing gear in low gear and store
the crank handle in the holder provided.
To Retract:
On outside mounted landing gears, engage the crank
with the crankshaft and turn the crank
counterclockwise. Inside mounted landing gears are
retracted by turning the crank clockwise. Retract the
landing gear using low gear until unloaded. Then
shift to high gear and continue cranking until fully
retracted. Leave the crank shaft engaged to prevent
road vibration wind-down. Store the crank in the
holder provided.
MAINTENANCE:
Lubrication:
Although Olympix landing gears are adequately
greased and packed with high quality lubricants
when manufactured, it may be necessary to
periodically supplement this lubrication to
maintain
satisfactory
performance for
your particular
application.
1. Lube both
legs through
the grease fittings and access holes provided in
the legs two times a year or as required.
2. Lube 2-speed gears through the grease fitting in
the gearbox two times a year or as required.
Trouble Shooting — Hard Turning Landing
Gears — Check the Following:
1. Binding the cross shaft — Bolts in the cross
shaft must not be overtightened to prevent
lateral movement of the cross shaft.
2. To determine which leg turns hard, remove the
cross shaft and operate each leg individually.
3. Landing gear may be bent or damaged.
4. Alignment — Legs must be parallel and extend
and retract evenly.
5. Legs and gearbox may need additional lubrication.
6. If crankshaft holder or extension are used,
check for alignment with crankshaft.
7. If a through-axle is used, check for binding where
the axle goes through the legs.
8. Binding shaft bushings — Bushings must
have adequate clearance for operation. Check
mounting for proper clearance.
9. Examine nut and screw assembly for damage
caused by dropping of the trailer.
Trouble Shooting — General:
Follow the dismantling and assembly instructions in
this manual.
If the crankshaft jams or skips while turning —
Examine parts (23 and 26) and all gearbox gears for
worn, broken, or missing teeth.
If the crankshaft will not stay in gear while
cranking — Check the condition of the shifter spring
(36), the shifter grooves in crankshaft (39), and the
cluster gear (35). Replace as required.
CAUTION
1. Always grip crank
handle securely.
2. Always grip crank handle
securely with both hands
before shifting.
3. Never shift landing gear
under load.
4. Never leave the crank
unsecured.
