FQ13 Load Sensing

This will I learned about the shuttle valve that controls the pressure change to the main valve. There was a bad o'ring for that valve so the pressure was staying at idle and not going up causing the processor it's in to not feed logs.

FQ13 Electronic Brake Booster

This week I have learned a lot about electronic brake boosters and the way they work. I put together a electronic brake boosters that runs of the main reservoir of ATF for the entire machine. The machine is a champion grader that has a electronic brake booster that goes into the normal booster in case of engine shut off. It's amazing how simple the designee of the system is and how well it works.

FQ13 Parisitic Draws

I learned about parasitic draws this week and all the ways to find them. It helped to think clearly and logically when finding the draw. It's easy to get frustrated trying to find the draw but if you keep a clear head and work through the processes to find the draw it becomes much easier. what hindered me at first was I was trying to think of all the possibilities before testing any circuits. From now on I will just think of the process of testing and making sure to start at the battery and to remember most modern cars take time to time out which can make it hard to sort out the draw from the car not timing out.
