Duration: 3 Days

This course is designed to give a basic understanding of the operation and service of Fuller AutoShift® and UltraShift® transmissions. This class will also provide a basic understanding of the operation and overhaul of Spicer Heavy-Duty Drive Axles. This includes all DS series and S series heavy-duty tandem axles.

During the transmission classroom portion, technicians will be exposed to identification of both the product and its components, theory of operation, and preventative maintenance. Added focus will be placed on service and troubleshooting of the product including training on the usage of electronic diagnostic tools like ServiceRanger and other commonly available diagnostic tools. This course will successfully increase the technicians understanding of electronic controls and PC-based diagnostics while helping them become comfortable servicing Fuller automated transmissions.

During the drive axle classroom portion, technicians will be exposed to the theory of operation, power flow, wheel differential systems and an in-depth review of inter-axle differentials. Technicians will review a descriptive failure analysis section consisting of various axle components to increase their understanding of service life and various failure modes of the components.

Upon completion of the classroom presentations, the class will continue into a multi-part practical session incorporating real-life application of diagnostic, troubleshooting, and
service procedures using the correct tools and techniques.
