INTRODUCTION

Product Description

The Ventrac 3400 is a unique All Wheel Drive power unit that distributes its power to four equal size otation tires to provide excellent control, traction, stability, maneuverability, and braking. Its innovative, patented Tandem Drive Train is coupled with an articulating and oscillating, uni-body frame to create a power

unit with quiet, e󰀩cient, and powerful performance. The 3400 is equipped with power steering and has a

turning radius of 28 inches (71 cm), allowing it to maneuver in and around tight places with ease. The 3400 is designed with the operator seated at the front of the power unit for unobstructed visibility of

attachments and terrain ahead. This design uses a rear mounted engine that keeps heat, exhaust, and noise behind the operator.

Ventrac’s patented SDLA control, located next to the operator, allows for easy control of Speed, Direction, Lift, and Auxiliary functions with one hand.

The Ventrac attachment mount system allows the operator to change front mounted attachments quickly

and e󰀩ciently.

Standard features of the 3400 power unit include:

• a fold down roll bar.

• a wire harness that is pre-wired for optional accessories.

• a complete electrical system circuit breaker and battery disconnect.

• a computer controlled onboard diagnostic system for the electrical circuits.

• two cluster gauges on the steering column. One gauge includes a fuel gauge, speedometer, glow plug indicator, parking brake indicator, PTO ‘On’ indicator, and a low fuel indicator. The second gauge includes an engine temperature gauge, hour meter / tachometer, and warning lights for high engine coolant temperature, low engine oil pressure, and low battery voltage. All of the warning indicator lights also trigger an audible alarm to insure the operator is aware of an unsafe condition.

Why Do I Need an Operator’s Manual?

GENERAL OPERATION

Forward And Reverse

Verify that the intended path is safe and free from obstacles. Set the selector lever to the desired posi-

tion (Neutral Assist Auto or Neutral Assist O󰀨).

WARNING

Never remove your right hand from the SDLA control lever unless you are using the foot pedal to control speed and direction. All direction, speed, and braking are controlled by the SDLA lever or the foot pedal. Depending on the terrain or rate of speed, more force may be required to maintain speed, change direction, or brake. Your hand or foot must always be ready to brake or stop the power unit.

Power unit movement is controlled by moving the SDLA control lever in the desired direction of travel. Push the SDLA control lever forward to move power unit in the forward direction. Pull the SDLA control lever backward to make the power unit move in the reverse direction. Changing the amount the SDLA control lever is moved, instantly changes the ground speed of the power unit. Moving it one half of the stroke will result in approximately one half of the maximum ground speed. Moving it to the end of the stroke will result in maximum ground speed.

The foot pedal can be used to control speed and direction instead of the SDLA control lever.

The SDLA control should be used for precision control in tight spaces or when connecting an attachment. The foot pedal is better suited to controlling speed and direction in open areas.

Front Auxiliary Couplers

CAUTION

EQUIPMENT DAMAGE!

Dirt and other debris in hydraulic system can cause damage to the system. Wipe clean the mating parts of the couplers before coupling. Use protective rubber plugs over hydraulic couplers when not in use.

If attachment requires auxiliary hydraulics, couple the attachment hoses with the front auxiliary couplers. This is done by sliding the collar of the coupler rearward and inserting the end of the attachment hose into the coupler and releasing the collar. If the collar will not snap forward on its own, pull it forward manually.

The couplers that the hoses are attached to will

a󰀨ect which way the secondary SDLA lever is

pushed to control the action of the attachment. If the attachment is equipped with red and yellow indicators, connect the hoses and quick couplers so the red indicators are paired together and the yellow indicators are paired together. If the hoses are connected and the action is not the desired motion, then switch the hoses the couplers are attached to.

Auxiliary couplers are controlled by moving the secondary SDLA lever left or right.

NOTE: Pressure build-up in the attachment hose and the power unit couplers may occur, causing

di󰀩cult installation of hoses. If hoses do not easily

connect, try one or both of the following steps:

1. To release the pressure from power unit cou-

plers, turn o󰀨 engine and move the secondary

lever of the SDLA right and left to release pressure in the power unit’s hydraulic circuit.

2. To release pressure in the attachment hose, loosen one of the hose ends and retighten when pressure is released.

WARNING

Hydraulic uid is under high pressure and

can penetrate skin, causing injury. Keep hands, face, and body away from pinholes

or nozzles that eject hydraulic uid under

high pressure.

Operation - 29

GENERAL OPERATION

Weight Transfer

The weight transfer system transfers weight from the attachment to the front wheels of the power unit when the front hitch is in oat or assists in lifting the attachment. Transferring weight from the attachment to the power unit increases the traction control, improves hillside maneuverability, aids in lifting the attachment,

reduces steering e󰀨ort, and lessens the attachment

resistance when in contact with the ground.

The operator can select di󰀨erent transfer rates by

selecting one of the four positions from no weight transfer (0) to maximum weight transfer (3). Set the weight transfer to 0 when attaching or detaching any attachment.

To set the weight transfer, raise the front hitch to its maximum height and move the weight transfer select lever to the desired position.

Selecting the proper amount of weight to transfer depends on attachments, ground conditions, and operator preference. A lightweight attachment (e.g. LA162 power blower) will not go down with full weight transfer on. With full weight transfer on, and

mowing in the oat position, the mower may not

come down quickly enough when going through uneven terrain. Power unit speed or weight transfer rate must be reduced.

Roll-Over Protection System (ROPS)

WARNING

Keep the ROPS locked in the upright position and the seat belt securely fastened during operation. Failure to do so could result in serious injury or loss of life.

2. Fold the roll bar down and install the pins in the rear holes (2) of the hinge plates to lock in place.

1. Locked Upright 2. Locked Folded Down

To raise the roll bar:

1. Remove the pins from the rear holes (2) of the right and left hinge plates.

2. Raise the roll bar to the upright position and install the pins in the front holes (1) of the hinge plates to lock in place.

12 Volt 4-Pin Auxiliary Outlets (Optional Accessory)

Certain attachments require a 12 volt auxiliary outlet. Plug the attachment’s 12 volt power cord into the 12 volt 4-pin outlet. The actions of the front 12

volt outlet are controlled by an on/o󰀨 switch and two

momentary on buttons on the SDLA handle. The actions of the rear 12 volt outlet are controlled by an

on/o󰀨 switch and a momentary on/o󰀨/on switch on

the side dash panel beside the SDLA control. The momentary buttons or switch are used for controlling movement that is only used for a brief time. The

on/o󰀨 switches are used to activate equipment or select di󰀨erent functions.

The 3400 is equipped with a fold down ROPS that allows the power unit to access areas of low overhead clearance. Lower the roll bar only when absolutely necessary and raise the roll bar to the upright position as soon as clearance allows.

WARNING

Do not wear a seat belt when the roll bar has been lowered to the down position.

To lower the roll bar:

1. Remove the pins from the front holes (1) of the right and left hinge plates.

3. Inspect the seat belt webbing for damage from exposure to the sun’s ultraviolet rays. If the original color of the webbing is extremely faded, the physical strength of the webbing may be deteriorated.

4. Inspect the seat belt webbing for dust and dirt. If the webbing is packed with dirt, the physical strength of the webbing may be deteriorated.

5. Inspect the seat belt webbing for sti󰀨ness. If

the webbing is no longer exible, the physical

strength of the webbing may be deteriorated.

6. Inspect the seat belt buckle and latch for damage, cracks, or excessive wear.

7. Inspect the seat belt for proper operation. The seat belt should latch securely and release smoothly. Seat belt adjustment should be accomplished without excessive resistance.

If any problems are detected during this inspection, the component must be replaced prior to operating the power unit.

Parking Brake Inspection & Adjustment

The parking brake tension must be set between a minimum of 15 pounds (7 kg) and a maximum of 22 pounds (10 kg) of force required to engage the selector lever into the park brake position. If the force required to engage the selector lever into the park position is not within this range, or if engaging the park brake will not prevent the power unit from moving, the brake will need to be adjusted.

1. Park the power unit on a level surface.

2. Shut o󰀨 the engine and remove the key from the ignition switch.

WARNING

The parking brake must be disengaged as part of the adjustment procedure. Park the power unit on a level surface and place wheel chocks in front and back of wheels to prevent the power unit from rolling forward or backward.

Place wheel chocks in front and back of wheels to prevent power unit from rolling.

WARNING

If power unit is not adequately supported, the unit could accidentally fall and trap or crush a person or appendage, causing severe injury or death.

Lift the left front corner of the power unit so the

left front tire is o󰀨 the ground and secure the

power unit with a jack stand or supporting block.

5. Remove the left front tire to provide easier access to the brake adjustment castle nut.

6. Place the selector lever in the Neutral Assist O󰀨 position.

7. Remove the cotter pin from the brake adjustment castle nut (A).

Service - 53

SERVICE

8. If the amount of force required to engage the selector lever into the park position was less than 15 pounds (7 kg), turn the castle nut tighter by one position. If the amount of force required to engage the selector lever into the park position was greater than 22 pounds (10 kg), loosen the castle nut by one position.

Attention

Parking brake tension set to a force greater than

the specied maximum will result in premature

brake failure.

Insert the cotter pin to hold the castle nut in place and retest the force required to engage the selector lever into the park position. Continue adjusting the castle nut in one position increments until the required force is reached.

10. Once the correct force required to engage the selector lever into the park position is reached, bend the cotter pin so it will not work loose from the castle nut.

11. Place the selector lever in the Park position.

12. Reinstall the left front tire and torque the lug nuts to 85 ft-lbs (115 Nm).

13. Lower the power unit to the ground.

Neutral Adjustment

The power unit should come to a complete stop with the selector lever in the Neutral Assist Auto position. The power unit should not attempt to move with the parking brake engaged. If the power unit is attempting to move, there will be an excessive amount of noise from the transaxles.

If the power unit moves or attempts to move in either condition, the power unit must be taken to an authorized Ventrac dealer for neutral position adjustment.

Storage

1. Clean the power unit.

Attention

To maintain the nish of the power unit and attachment, thoroughly wash the equipment to remove any corrosive agents (e.g., salt). Failure to clean the equipment may result in corrosion of (including but not limited to) steel, aluminum, and electrical components.

Inspect for loose or missing hardware, damaged components, or signs of wear.

3. Inspect the ROPS structure and seat belt for damage or signs of wear..

4. Inspect safety decals. Replace any safety decals that are faded, illegible, or missing.

5. Inspect hydraulic hoses for leaks and/or wear. Service as required.

6. Inspect hydraulic hoses, hydraulic ttings, and fuel lines to ensure tight, leak free connections.

7. Ensure parking brake is properly adjusted.

8. Inspect electrical system and connections.

9. Test the operator safety interlock system.

10. Perform a TCM (tractor control module) check to make sure the inputs and outputs are correct. Refer to the troubleshooting section for input and output information.

11. Inspect the PTO pulley and belt for damage or excessive wear. Service as required.

12. Inspect the electric PTO clutch air gap. Set gap to .020” (.5 mm).

13. Check the hydraulic oil level. Add uid or service as required.

14. Check the coolant level and make sure the temperature protection range is at least -34° F

(-37° C). Add uid or service as required.

15. Ensure the radiator screen, air cleaner, and engine compartment are clean.

16. Check tires for proper ination.

17. Grease and lubricate all points specied in

the maintenance section. Wipe o󰀨 any excess

grease or oil.

After all the above steps have been performed, complete the preparation for storage by performing the steps for either long term storage (4 months or longer) or short term storage (less than 4 months).

Service - 54

SERVICE

TROUBLESHOOTING

Electrical Troubleshooting Using The Tractor Control Module (TCM)

The TCM monitors the electronic circuits necessary for the engine, starter, and PTO to function. These “input” circuits include the PTO Switch, Neutral Switch, Parking Brake Switch, Key Switch, Seat Switch, and Generator Presence. The TCM is programmed to allow the

engine, starter, or PTO to operate only when specic input criteria are satised. The engine, start, and PTO

circuits are controlled by “outputs” from the TCM. For troubleshooting purposes, the TCM includes

red LED lights for each circuit. The LED lights will activate when the input or output circuit is activated. The TCM is divided into two sections: the left (input) side displays the 8 inputs with red LED lights; the right (output) side displays the 5 outputs also with red LED lights. The TCM has two power supplies. The rst supplies powers to the computer independent of the key switch so that the TCM does not

turn on and o󰀨 with each key switch on & o󰀨 cycle.

(Note: When the battery disconnect switch is turned to O󰀨, the TCM is also turned o󰀨). The second supply energizes the rest of the computer when the key switch is turned on.

When the battery disconnect switch is turned on, the Power LED light (J) will illuminate. If the system voltage drops below a preset value when the key

switch is o󰀨, or if the power unit sits unused for

more than 15 days, the TCM will automatically go to ‘Sleep’ mode and enter a reduced power state. To ‘Wake’ the TCM, turn the battery disconnect switch

o󰀨 and then back on.

Input Circuits

Brake Switch (A)

The light indicates the circuit is closed and the parking brake is engaged. In order for this light to operate, the key switch must be in the On position.

Neutral Switch (B)

The light indicates the circuit is closed and the power unit’s forward/reverse control is in neutral. In order for this light to operate, the key switch must be in the On position and the forward/reverse control (SDLA) must be in the neutral position.

PTO Switch (C)

The light indicates the PTO switch is in the On position. In order for this light to operate, the key switch must be in the On position and the PTO switch must be in the On (engaged) position.

Seat Switch (D)

The light indicates that an operator is present in the seat. In order for this light to operate, the key switch must be in the On position and the operator must be present in the seat.

Engine Starter (E)

The light indicates that the key switch is turned to the Start position.

Key Switch On (F)

The light indicates that the key switch is turned to the On position. The key switch must be in the On position for the TCM to activate.

Generator Present (G)

The light indicates that the generator is connected to the power unit, which activates a specic set of criteria and allows the PTO to operate without an operator present on the seat. In order for this light to operate, the key switch must be in the On position and a generator must be connected to the power unit.

Generator Switch (H)

The light indicates that the switch on the generator is set to the On (engaged) position. In order for this light to operate, the key switch must be in the On position, a generator must be connected to the power unit, and the switch on the generator must be pulled up to the On (engaged) position.

Power (J)

This light is located at the bottom right corner of the TCM. This light indicates that there is full time power to the TCM and is only shut o󰀨 by the battery disconnect switch or if the TCM enters the ‘Sleep’ mode. It keeps the TCM computer energized to eliminate the delay that would otherwise be present when the key

switch is rst turned to the On position.

Troubleshooting - 66

TROUBLESHOOTING

Output Circuits

Specic input conditions must be satised before

each output circuit can function.

Starter (K)

The light indicates that power is being sent to the starter solenoid. For the starter output to function, the parking brake must be set and the power unit’s forward/reverse control must be in neutral.

PTO (L)

The light indicates that power is being sent to the PTO clutch relay. For the PTO output to function, the operator must be on the seat.

If the PTO remote kit is installed and an attachment such as the generator is connected, the TCM will automatically enable the Remote PTO function. In this mode the PTO switch on the generator replaces the seat switch criteria for the PTO to function. The parking brake must be engaged for the Remote PTO to function.

The following engine commands are engine spe-

cic.

Engine +12V Run (M)

This light indicates that power is being sent to the engine control module in order for the engine to run. For this light to operate, either the operator must be sitting on the seat, or the parking brake must be engaged and the forward/reverse control (SDLA) must be in the neutral position.

Engine Stop Ground (N)

Not used on the 3400Y.

Diesel Pre-Heat (O)

This output controls the signal that activates and deactivates the glow plugs.

TROUBLESHOOTING

Electrical Troubleshooting Guide

1. Always ensure that there is power supplied to the computer (TCM). With the key switch in the O󰀨 position, check to ensure the LED light for the Power input (J) is turned on. If the light is not on:

a. Check the battery disconnect switch to ensure it is turned on. b. If the battery disconnect switch was already turned on, the TCM may be in ‘Sleep’ mode. Turn the

battery disconnect switch o󰀨 for 10 seconds and then back on to ‘Wake’ the TCM.

c. Check the 15 amp fuse in slot #10 of the rear fuse panel. Replace this fuse, if necessary.

2. Turn the key switch to the On position and check to see if any of the other lights turn on. If no other lights turn on, check the 5 amp fuse in slot #9 of the rear fuse panel. Replace this fuse, if necessary. If any other lights turn on, you can start troubleshooting the rest of the TCM functions.

3. To troubleshoot the circuits in the chart below, the corresponding LED lights must be ‘On’ for the circuit to function. If any of the required LED lights are not on, refer to the troubleshooting section in the following pages.
