 RIMPULL & RETARDATION Volvo A30D

RIMPULL
1. Rimpull in metric ton (kp x 1000).
2. Speed in km/h.
3. Machine weight in metric ton.
4. Grade in % + rolling resistance in %.

RETARDATION PERFORMANCE
(Transmission and exhaust retarders)
1. Braking effort in metric ton (kp x 1000).
2. Speed in km/h.
3. Machine weight metric ton.
4. Grade in % – rolling resistance in %

INSTRUCTIONS
Diagonal lines represent total resistance (grade % plus rolling resistance %).
Charts based on 0% rolling resistance, standard tires and gearing, unless otherwise stated.

A. Find the diagonal line with the appropriate total resistance on the right-hand edge of the chart.
B. Follow the diagonal line downward until it intersects the actual machine weight line, NMW or GMW.
C. Draw a new line horizontally to the left from the point of intersection until the new line intersects the rimpull or retardation
curve.
D. Read down for vehicle speed.
