4WS Bleeding
The following outlines the correct procedure for the removal of air from the Johnston CN101 rear
hydraulic 4 wheel steering (4WS) cylinder.
Should for any reason air be introduced into the 4WS hydraulic system (hose replacement, etc.)
the following procedure must be undertaken to ensure that the 4WS system functions safely and
as intended.
Air in the rear steering cylinder may result in inconsistent control and poor centralisation of the rear
All Copyright and rights are the property of Johnston Sweepers Ltd.
wheels.
Procedure
1. Start the engine, raise the hopper and support on the prop. Activate the 4WS and turn the
steering wheel fully to the left hand lock (rear wheels will point to the right hand side). Stop the
engine; the rear steering cylinder is now at its maximum stroke, see figure one.
2. Remove the cover panel above the hydraulic control located on the right hand side of the
machine (held by five 13mm headed fixings). Fit the tee piece and test point between the hose
and adaptor at the HB port on the 4WS hydraulic valve block and tighten securely with the test
point facing vertically, see figure two.
3. From the hydraulic test kit use one of the test hoses to connect between the test point at HB
on the 4WS hydraulic valve block, see figure three. and the test point at port PS on the charge
pressure connector of the driving pump, see figure four.
Warning
Starting the engine will charge the 4WS hydraulic valve block output HB to a pressure of
25 bar. Any air trapped within the system will also be compressed to this pressure.
Suitable precautions must be applied when venting the circuit in the following steps.
5. Whilst taking all necessary precautions to protect the any personnel and the surrounding area
from any air and oil that is released. Slowly undo the banjo connector bolt on the rear steering
cylinder until any trapped air and oil is seen to be released from the connection. Repeat several
times or until no air is seen to be expelled and then retighten the connection bolt ensuring
correct orientation of the hose.
6. Stop the engine; disconnect the test hose from the 4WS hydraulic valve block and the charge
pressure connector of the driving pump. Refit the protective covers to both test points.
7. Start the engine, activate and operate the 4WS - check the circuit for leaks – Stop the engine.
8. Refit the cover panel over the hydraulic controls and top up the hydraulic oil as required – see
operator’s gu for further details.
9. Lower the hopper and test drive the vehicle to ensure correct operation.

Note: This design improvement has been introduced in production from Manufacturing Sequence
Number 0175.
The following instructions should be implemented for the Deutz engines fitted to the Johnston
CN101.
The instructions apply during the first 500 to 700 operating hours and are intended to prevent high
oil consumption:
• Higher than usual oil consumption during the first 500 to 700 operating hours of the running-in
period is quite normal.
All Copyright and rights are the property of Johnston Sweepers Ltd.
• In general and especially during the running-in period the engine should not be left to idle for
long periods.
• The oil level may be checked with the engine hot or cold with the engine switched off. If the
engine has been running it should be switched off for minimum of 5 minutes prior to checking
the level to allow the oil to settle.
If you want to compare oil levels ensure that the oil levels to be compared are checked under
similar conditions.
• When filling, only fill up to the halfway mark on the dipstick. If you fill to the upper mark, the
engine will use the excess oil until the level drops to the halfway mark. Often this is declared as
the normal oil consumption of the engine but this is not in effect the case.
The limit value for the maximum specific lubricant consumption is 0.75 % (max.) of fuel
consumption.

Introduction
The information presented in this chapter does not infer that there are
hazards associated with the Johnston sweepers. It is given as a guide
to general precautions that should be exercised in the course of their
maintenance work.
Safety symbol:
The universal symbol is used throughout this manual to indicate information which is
essential for health and safety of all operating personnel.
All Copyright and rights are the property of Johnston Sweepers Ltd.
Refer to all state, district/company, or council Health and Safety Regulations and follow
the procedures laid down.
The repair and maintenance of machinery such as this can involve physical hazards
or other risks to health. This section lists some of these hazards and the precautions
necessary to avoid them.
The list is only general but all other operations, procedures and the handling of materials
should be carried out in accordance with the requirement of health and safety laws, which
is the responsibility of the Owner/Operator/Maintainer.
Anti Freeze:
Anti-freeze may be absorbed though the skin in toxic or harmful quantities.
If swallowed, seek medical attention immediately.
Some types, i.e., isopropanol, ethylene glycol and methanol are flammable.
Batteries:
Gases released during charging are explosive. Never use naked flames or allow sparks
near charging or recently charged batteries.
Disconnection:
Disconnect the negative battery lead from battery first. The positive cable must always
be disconnected last.
Reconnection:
Always reconnect the positive battery cable first.
Take care not to cause sparking which could ignite hydrogen gas being given off by the
batteries.
1. Apply the park brake, turn off ignition, lights and other electrical loads.
2. If the slave battery is mounted on another vehicle, ensure that the vehicles are not
touching.
3. Ensure that the donor battery voltage is compatible with the vehicle battery.
4. Ensure that adequate ventilation is available to the vehicle and slave batteries.
All Copyright and rights are the property of Johnston Sweepers Ltd.
5. Connect positive terminal of the donor battery group to positive terminal of the
discharged battery group.
6. Connect negative terminal or slave battery group to chassis earth of the
discharged battery group.
7. Attempt to start the casualty vehicle.
8. Once the vehicle has started, remove the negative lead from the chassis and then
the slave battery.
9. Remove positive lead from discharged chassis and then the donor chassis.
If the vehicle will not start with a booster battery, contact your local Johnston Service
Network.
Chemical materials:
Chemical materials such as solvents, sealers, adhesive, paints, resin foams, battery
acids, anti-freezes, brake fluids, oils and grease should always be used with caution and
stored and handled with care.
Chemical materials may be toxic, harmful, corrosive, irritant or highly flammable and give
rise to hazardous fumes and dust.
Always consult the appropriate safety standards for handling such materials.
Reminders
Chemical materials
DO remove chemical materials from the skin and clothing as soon as practical after soiling.
Change heavily soiled clothing and have it cleaned.
DO carefully read and observe hazard and precaution warnings given on hazardous material
containers and in any accompanying leaflets, posters or other instructions. Hazardous
material health and safety data can be obtained from manufacturers.
All Copyright and rights are the property of Johnston Sweepers Ltd.
organise work practices and use protective clothing to avoid soiling of the skin and eyes;

mix chemical materials except in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions. Some
DO NOT
chemicals can form other toxic or harmful substances; give off toxic or harmful fumes; be
explosive when mixed together.
DO NOT spray chemical materials, particularly those based on solvents, in confined spaces; for
example, when people are inside a vehicle.
DO NOT apply heat or flame to chemical materials, except under the manufacturer’s instructions.
Some are highly flammable and some may release toxic or harmful fumes.
DO NOT leave containers open. Fumes given off can build up to toxic, harmful or explosive
concentrations. Some fumes are heavier than air and will accumulate in confined areas,
pits, etc.
clean hands or clothing with chemical materials. Chemicals, particularly solvents and
DO NOT
fuels will dry the skin and may cause irritation with dermatitis. Some can be absorbed
through the skin in toxic or harmful quantities.
Dusts:
Powder, dusts or clouds may be irritant, harmful or toxic. Avoid breathing dusts from
powdery chemical materials or those arising from dry abrasion operations.
Wear respiratory protection in accordance with the requirement of the Health and Safety
Acts.
Electric shocks:
When working on electrical systems, remove watches, bracelets and rings as these can
conduct electricity and cause shorts and/or burns.
All Copyright and rights are the property of Johnston Sweepers Ltd.
Electric shocks can result from the use of faulty electrical equipment or from the misuse
of equipment even in good condition.
Ensure that electrical equipment is maintained in good condition and frequently inspected
and tested.
Ensure that flexes, cables, plugs and sockets are not frayed, kinked, cut, cracked or
otherwise damaged.
Ensure that electrical equipment is protected by the correct rated fuse and if used outside
an earth-leakage circuit breaker is used.
Never misuse electrical equipment and never use equipment that is in any way faulty. The
results could be fatal.
Use reduced voltage equipment (110 or 24 volt) for inspection and working lights where
possible.
Ensure that the cables of mobile electrical equipment cannot be trapped and damaged
such as in a vehicle hoist, trolley jacks, etc.
Use air operated mobile equipment where possible in preference to electrical equipment.
Exhaust fumes:
These contain asphyxiating, harmful and toxic chemicals and particles such as carbon
oxides, nitrogen oxides, aldehydes, leads and aromatic hydrocarbons.
Engines should only be run under conditions of adequate extraction or general ventilation
and not in confined spaces.
NB : Catalyst exhausts/silencers can run at extremely high temperatures.
First aid:
It is desirable for someone in the workshop to be trained in the first aid procedures.
Splashes or particles in the eye should be flushed with clean water for at least ten minutes
and medical attention sought.
Soiled skin should be washed with soap and water.
Inhalation affected individuals should be removed to fresh air immediately.
If hazardous material has been swallowed or if the effects of exposure to hazardous
materials persist, consult a doctor with information (label) on material used.
Do not induce vomiting (unless indicated by the manufacturer).
All Copyright and rights are the property of Johnston Sweepers Ltd.
High-pressure air and lubrication equipment:
Always keep high-pressure equipment in good condition and regularly maintained,
particularly at joints and unions.
Never direct a high (or low) pressure nozzle at the skin as the fluid may penetrate to the
underlying tissue, etc, and cause serious and potentially fatal injury.
Where there is a risk of eye contact, e.g., by splashing, eye protection should be worn,
for example, chemical goggles or face shields; in addition, an eyewash facility should be
provided.
First Aid treatment should be obtained immediately for open cuts and wounds.
Apply barrier cream before each work period to help when removing oil from the skin.
Use proprietary hand cleaners only if they can be removed from the skin using water.
Overalls must be cleaned regularly. Discard clothing that cannot be cleaned and footwear
that has become impregnated.
In the event of a skin condition occurring consult a doctor and tell him/her that your work
involves using oil.
