Engine device

Most Kamaz 65115 dump trucks were equipped with diesel engines equipped with a turbocharging system. And then they were replaced by turbocharged diesel engines with six cylinders. These new engines were more powerful, cheaper and superior to the previous ones in environmental friendliness.

The most common engine was the Cummins 6ISBe 285, which was equipped with air cooling. The working volume of this engine is 6.7 liters, power – 282 “horses”. This engine is ideally combined with a 9-speed manual transmission.

Transmission

The gearbox produced by the Kama Automobile Plant is a guarantee of quality, which is achieved by a long service life and low wear resistance. The gearboxes that are produced these days are partially imported and replace the outdated transmission that was produced in the USSR. The box is 9-speed. Rotation is transmitted via a clutch to a single drive disc in which a hydraulic system is installed.

Switching circuit

The gear shift diagram is shown in the image below.

Suspension

The Kamaz suspension is located on leaf springs. The brake drums have a diameter of 400 mm, a lining width of 140 mm and an area of 6300 square centimeters. They are mounted on each wheel. The brakes are pneumatically driven. To improve the braking system, ABS is installed. The rear of the dump truck is double galvanized. Tube tires with pneumatics are mounted on steel wheels measuring 7.5-20.

Electrical diagram

The voltage in the Kamaz electrical system is 24 V. The electrical circuit is single-wire. Two lead-acid batteries, which are connected in series, ensure the functioning of on-board energy consumers when the engine is turned off. The generator installed in the car has a power of 2000 W and powers the electrical circuits in the device. The electrical circuit diagram is needed for repairs, if such a need arises. The different colors in the diagram indicate the sequence of connections in the electrical wiring. Below is a list of system elements:

Launcher;
Cabin lighting;
Turn signals;
Emergency stop signal;
Glass cleaning system;
Energy supply and heating;
Anti-theft mechanism;
Dashboard;
Sound system;
Fuse box;
Control block.

All these elements will function correctly only if the electrical wiring in the KamAZ is in good condition.

Cooling system

Water pump;
Cooling fan;
Thermostat;
Pipes;
Cooling radiator.

Vehicle specifications

Technical characteristics of a ten-ton dump truck

model with 10 tons (the same as the ZIL 130) first appeared on the plant’s conveyors eleven years after the company was founded , that is, in 1987. These vehicles were discontinued only in 2012, and they were replaced by the KamAZ-65115 dump truck, the predecessor of which was the KamAZ-5511, which had a more elongated body.

To this day, this model from the developers of the KamAZ concern is very popular, as it combines an affordable price and high quality. KamAZ-55111 is widely used, primarily in construction. Read about another popular model of the KAMAZ dump truck - 65117.

Rear unloading of the dump truck is very convenient. Consumers of the Sovertsky market also highlight the optimal price for this car. A good level of visibility, high stability, excellent maneuverability and controllability as well as optimal thermal comfort are the main advantages of the model.

Common problems

How to replace king pins?

The kingpin is the connection element between the front beam of the car and the steering knuckle. You can replace the kingpin if it malfunctions on your own. The main thing is to follow the following instructions:

Place the dump truck cab in its highest position;
Raise the required side of the car and remove the wheel;
Remove the brake pads and drum;
Remove the nut that holds the locking wedge in place;
Now, using a hammer of the required diameter, knock out the wedge. If it doesn’t work, drill it with an 8 mm drill;
Remove the dust caps from the steering knuckle;
Remove the faulty part.

Pumping the PSU on KamAZ 65115

To restore the function of the clutch system, it is necessary to bleed the PSU (pneumatic power steering). How to do it? Instructions especially for you:

Start doing the work together, it’s much more convenient;
The bypass valve cap must be cleaned of dirt and dust;
Put a regular rubber hose on it;
Place the free end in a vessel with working fluid;
Press the clutch pedal sharply 3-4 times. Moreover, after pressing 4 times, do not release the pedal;
Loosen the bypass valve slightly.

After these procedures, the working fluid will begin to flow into the container. It is necessary to repeat these steps several times until all the air is bled from the system. After this, the working fluid is poured back.

Which tires to choose and how much do they cost?

You can replace the factory tires with brands 280 R508, 320 R508. Cost varies depending on region and store markup. In the Russian Federation, the price varies from 10,000 to 17,000 rubles per tire.

Where is the frame number?

Drivers often ask this question. We answer. The frame number can be found on the top flange of the right side member in the area of the rear front spring bracket.

Where is the wiper relay located?

Another popular question. The diagram of all relays is shown in the figure below.

Clutch adjustment

Clutch adjustment is an important stage of work to prevent problems with the car. It is necessary to adjust the clutch stroke as soon as you notice a burning smell or that the discs are slipping.

If the discs are not completely apart, then the adjustment will be a little more difficult. Here are a few additional steps:

Setting the pedal travel;
Removing air from drive lines;
Checking the fluid level in the pneumatic hydraulic booster system.

If the Euro unit is used in the setup, then you only need to adjust the pedal stroke. Other parts of the clutch do not need lubrication during the operation of the car. In addition to the level of working fluid in the drive tank, it must be monitored.

What is the essence of the adjustment? This is the correct adjustment of the gap between the plane of the release disk and the levers. Adjustment also involves adjusting the travel of the pedal and clutch. 6-12 millimeters is the optimal free play for the drive pedal.

On KamAZ 65115, do-it-yourself adjustment work looks like this:

The first thing to do is to find the castle nut of the pin and unlock the cotter pin;
Rotate the finger until the free play becomes acceptable;
Pull the nut back and secure it with a cotter pin;
Test the full pedal travel. If everything is done correctly, then it will remain within 185-195 millimeters.

An important clarification - if the unit is a single-disc MFZ, then the pedal stroke will be slightly shorter, 140-150 millimeters.

So, we have examined several basic issues and problems associated with the operation of the Kamaz 65115 dump truck. You can find more complete information in the manual or on various specialized forums.
