The manual transcription fuckery continues...
Having to translate wacky-ass units to modern equivalence (Who the fuck uses kg-f/cm² for pressure these days?) and finding more mangled unit conversions/off by 10/100 errors.
If the normal operating range is 2.46kg/cm² to 3.87kg/cm² (35 to 55psi), how can the low pressure warning be 6.3kg/cm² (listed as 9psi)? That's not how numbers work!
I'm putting that one on the shelf alongside the fuel consumption specification mangling that gives my truck 35.4km/litre fuel efficiency as a conversion from 10mpg (imperial).
I assure you, it will not manage that. (That's less than 3l/100km. From an 8 tonne truck with a 4.9 litre gasolene engine from the 70s? Dream on.)
I am having a Fixation™ day, today. And today's fixation is making all the specifiations and whatnot from this truck manual actually ... y'know... written down with detail.
Largely because someone on youtube asked me if there's any detailed specifications for the stuff beyond the real vague overview that's everywhere, and that got me thinking.
If you search for RL specifications, you get... uhhh. Some basic engine stats, overall size, and maybe weight. And depending on where you dig you might get some more specifics, but damn.
Anyway, I'm still working my way back n forth between two and a bit reprintings of the workshop manual, the operator's handbook, and my own notes, so it's going to take Quite Some Time™ but:
(...god, fuck, I love that pic of mine. I bought it having never seen it in person, based on 3 340x255 photos on a breaker's yard website, and that's one of them. 😅)
