Terex Pegson Maxtrak 1300 2002 Operators Manual – Factory Specs for the Crusher

If you’re running a Terex Pegson Maxtrak 1300 without the factory Operators Manual, you’re asking for a wrecked chamber or worse – a man down. I’ve seen too many operators skip the safety section because they think they know the machine. The 2002 edition – 396 pages – is the only document Terex Pegson authorized for that year. Aftermarket stuff? Don’t trust it. This manual is scanned from the original binder, and it includes every warning, every torque value, every control sequence they printed. You don’t get that from a third-party PDF someone copied off a forum. So before you fire up the diesel, read this.

Safety Chapter – The First Thing You Read

Page 5 opens with an important safety notice that tells you exactly what risks are on site – overhead conveyor discharges, overspill, vehicle movements. The manual doesn’t sugarcoat it. Section 1 – Safety covers warnings and symbols, emergency stop button locations, and safety sign illustrations. You need to know where those e-stops are. Section 1.5 warns about electric energy, hydraulic and pneumatic equipment, hazardous substances. If you’re pushing material through this plant, you deal with dust, noise, and high-pressure oil. Page 1 says failure to follow safety information increases risk of injury or death. I don’t write that. Terex Pegson did.

What’s Inside the 396 Pages?

Seven major sections. Safety, Technical Information, General Information, Design and Function, Transport, Set Up, Operating Instructions, Shut Off. Plus an appendix for optional equipment. The Technical Information section (Section 2) gives you dimensions and weights, plant description, belt feeder conveyor specs, crusher details, discharge conveyor, powerpack, controls, dustsprays, tracks. If you need to know the overall height for shipping, that’s in 2.1. If you’re changing manganese, the Automax adjustments are in Section 7.3. This isn’t a general guide – it’s the blueprint for that specific machine.

7 Systems Covered in Technical Information Section

Section 2 breaks down each system: Belt Feeder Conveyor, Crusher, Discharge Conveyor, Standard Powerpack, Controls, Dustsprays, Tracks. Each subsection tells you the purpose and basic operation. The 2002 Maxtrak 1300 uses an Automax crusher – the manual walks you through the glossary of parts and terms in 7.3.1 and 7.3.2. That’s the kind of detail you need when you’re setting the gap or calibrating manganese wear. Don’t guess the wedge pressure – Section 7.3.11 covers checking it. That’s factory procedure.

Understand the Automax Controls Before You Start

Section 7.4 – Automax Crusher Controls – is the part most operators skip. It shows the control layout, function keys, manual and auto operation, setting the gap, tramp overload procedures. If you’ve ever had an overload release and didn’t know how to reset it, Section 7.3.10 tells you. The manual also includes alarm lists (7.4.11) and historical alarms (7.4.13). If you’re getting a fault code, you look it up there – not on Google. This is OEM data that matches the actual controller. Aftermarket manuals sometimes swap the key functions. Not here.

Transport and Setup: What the Manual Tells You

Moving a 50-ton crusher isn’t a job for guesswork. Section 5 covers transportation: manoeuvring, unloading, loading, lowering the feed conveyor and upper frame. Section 6 – Set Up – gives safety information and step-by-step setup. If you’re lowering the Automax upper frame (5.2.5), the manual tells you the sequence and safety precautions. I’ve seen guys drop the conveyor because they didn’t read the section on locking pins. This manual stops that.

FAQ

Is this manual for the Maxtrak 1300 only or other models?

Covers the Maxtrak 1300 specifically.

Does it include torque specs for the crusher?

Yes, in the Technical Information section you’ll find bolt torque values for the crusher chamber and other assemblies. The manual doesn’t print a separate torque table – the values appear in the relevant procedures (e.g., wedge pressure check, manganese installation). You need to follow those numbers exactly.

What about wiring diagrams?

This is an operators manual, not a service manual. You won’t find full electrical schematics. What you do get is the electric control panel screen display data (7.2.3) and fault indication restart procedures (7.2.5). For deeper diagnostics, you need the service repair manual. If you want a related operators manual for a different model, check the Terex Pegson 428 Trakpactor Plant User Manual”>Terex Pegson 428 Trakpactor Plant User Manual or the Terex Pegson 1000SR Crusher Plant Operators Manual”>Terex Pegson 1000SR Crusher Plant Operators Manual. Also see the TEREX PEGSON MAXTRAK 1000 Plant User Manual”>TEREX PEGSON MAXTRAK 1000 Plant User Manual.

Can I use this for the Maxtrak 1000?

No. Different crusher, different controls, different dimensions. The Maxtrak 1300 manual is specific to that model. For the 1000, you need the TEREX PEGSON MAXTRAK 1000 Plant User Manual”>TEREX PEGSON MAXTRAK 1000 Plant User Manual.

One more thing. The manual also references external resources like the engine operation and maintenance manual – you have to read that too. If you’re working on a manual transmission component on the plant (like the track drive), the standard procedures apply. Check the Manual Transmission”>Manual Transmission guidelines from the engine manual. And for general safety on site, the Manual Transmission”>Manual Transmission section of the plant manual lists inspection intervals. Don’t shortcut it. Access the Factory Manual now – put it with the machine, read it before each shift, and torque every bolt to spec. That’s how you keep the Maxtrak 1300 running and your crew safe.
