Intended use The machine is intended to be used under normal conditions for the applications described in the Operator's Manual. If it is used for other purposes or in potentially dangerous environments, for example explosive atmospheres, flammable environments or areas with dust containing asbestos, special safety regulations are to be followed and the machine to be equipped for such use. Contact the manufacturer/dealer for further information. The machine is designed for a maximum machine weight (incl. equipment and attachments) of 9500 kg (20944 lb) for L45F and 10300 kg (22707 lb) for L50F. If the maximum weight is exceeded, safety will be jeopardized. In addition, no warranties on the part of the manufacturer will apply. However, always pay attention to national regulations for travelling on public roads.

Environmental requirements Be conscious of the environment while operating and maintaining the machine. Always follow national environmental legislation applying to all handling of the machine.

Engine Volvo D5D is a four cylinder four-stroke water-cooled low-emission engine with direct fuel injection. The engine of the L45F is turbocharged without intercooler. The engine of the L50F is turbocharged with intercooler.

Electrical system The battery disconnect switch is located behind the upper step of the cab entrance. The machine has three control units (ECUs). The I-ECU for the instrumentation is integrated with the display unit, warning lamps and instruments and provides the operator with information via these. The V-ECU (for the machine) receives signals from sensors on the machine and these are sent to the IECU. The T-ECU controls the transmission.

Transmission The machine has an infinitely variable hydrostatic transmission with automotive drive control. Maximum rim pull is available in all speed ranges. The inching-brake pedal provides hydrostatic braking with precise control of travel speed. All wheel drive with planetary axles. Rear axle with self-lubricated oscillating. Differential lock with 100 % dog clutch system in both axles.


Presentation

6 Brake system Inching-brake valve for hydrostatic braking via transmission and subsequent hydraulic operation of the service brakes. Single circuit all-hydraulic brake system for rear axle. Service brakes: Inboard wet disc brakes on rear axle. Front axle braking via propeller shaft. Parking brake: Mechanically operated dry disc brake on input shaft of front axle.

Steering system Articulated frame steering with dampened end stops. Hydrostatic load-sensing steering system with two double-acting steering cylinders.

Frame Articulating frame concept with oscillating rear axle suspension. Front and rear frame designed for maximum ground clearance with robust articulation joint bearings.

Cab The cab features full instrumentation and has a heating and ventilation system with defrosting for all windows. Air conditioning is available as an option.

FOPS and ROPS The cab and cab support are approved as a protective cab according to FOPS and ROPS standards. FOPS is an abbreviation of Falling Object Protective Structure (roof protection) and ROPS is an abbreviation of Roll Over Protective Structure (roll over protection). If any part of the cab’s protective structure is affected by plastic deformation or rupture, the cab shall be immediately replaced. Never carry out any unauthorised alterations to the cab, e.g. lowering the roof height, drilling, welding on brackets for fire extinguisher, radio aerial or other equipment, without first, through a dealer, having discussed the alteration with personnel at the Volvo CE Engineering Department. This department will decide whether the alteration may cause the approval to become void. It is important that all parties concerned are aware of these regulations.

Hydraulic system Demand controlled Load-sensing hydraulic system. Work hydraulic system with a servo-controlled main control valve. The oil in the work hydraulic system is supplied in proportion to the position of the control levers. If the hydraulic control levers are in neutral position, consequently no oil is supplied by the variable displacement work hydraulic pump. The steering system has priority supply from another pump, which also supplies the brake charging valve and the fan motor. The combined suction and return flow filter serves the hydrostatic transmission pump. The filter element can be changed without having to empty the oil tank. Thermostatically controlled oil flow to the integrated hydraulic oil cooler.

Communication equipment, installation

Communication equipment, installation IMPORTANT! All installation of optional electronic communication equipment must be performed by trained professionals and in accordance with the Volvo CE instructions.

Protection against electromagnetic interference This machine has been tested in accordance with EU directive 89/ 336/EEC governing electromagnetic interference. It is therefore very important that all non-approved electronic accessories, such as communication equipment, should be tested before installation and use, since they can cause interference to the electronic systems of the machine.

Mobile telephones To obtain the best functionality, mobile telephones should be permanently installed in the electrical system of the machine, with a permanent aerial fixed on the cab and installed as advised by the manufacturer. If a portable mobile telephone is used, note that it can constantly transmit information to its base station, even when the telephone is not used. For this reason, it should not be placed beside electronic equipment in the machine, such as directly on a control panel etc.

Guide-lines The guide-lines given below must be followed during installation: Q

The aerial placement must be chosen to give good adaptation to the surroundings.

Q

The down lead from the aerial must be of the coaxial type. Make sure that the cable is undamaged, that the sheath and braid are not split at the ends, the braid covers the connector ferrules and has good galvanic contact with them.

Q

The mating surface between the aerial mounting bracket and the bodywork must be clean metal surfaces, with all dirt and oxide removed. Protect the mating surfaces against corrosion after installation, to maintain good galvanic contact.

Q

Remember to keep interfering cables and those which may suffer from interference apart. Interfering cables are the power supply cables and the aerial to the communication equipment. Cables which may suffer from interference are cables to and from electronic units on the machine. Install cable harnesses as close to grounded plate surfaces as possible, as these have a screening effect.

USA federal clean air act

15

USA federal clean air act The Federal Clean Air Act Section 203 (a) (3) prohibits the removal of air pollution control devices or the modification of an EPA-certified non-road engine to a non-certified configuration. The Federal regulations implementing the Clean Air Act for nonroad engines, 40 C.F.R.Section 89.1003(a)(3)(i), reads as follows: The following act and the causing thereof are prohibited: For a person to remove or render inoperative a device or element of design installed on or in a non-road engine vehicle or equipment in compliance with regulations under this part prior to its sale and delivery to the ultimate purchaser or for a person knowingly to remove or render inoperative such a device or element of design after the sale and delivery to the ultimate purchaser. The law provides a penalty of up to $2,750 for each violation. An example of a prohibited modification is the recalibration of the fuel system so that the engine will exceed the certified horsepower or torque. You should not make a change to an EPA-certified non-road engine that would result in an engine that does not match the engine configuration certified to meet the Federal Standards.

Customer Assistance Volvo Construction Equipment wishes to help assure that the Emission Control System Warranty is properly administered. In event that you do not receive the warranty service to which you believe you are entitled under the Emission Control System Warranty, you should contact your nearest Volvo Construction Equipment Regional office for assistance.

Normal Non-Road Engine Use The Maintenance Instructions are based on the assumption that this conventional machine will be used as designated in the Operator’s Instruction Manual and operated only with the specified fuel and lubrication oils.

Non-Road Engine Maintenance The non-road engine is of conventional design and any local dealer may perform the necessary non-road engine emission control maintenance defined in this manual. Volvo recommends that the purchaser use the service program for the non-road engine, known as Preventative Maintenance, including the recommended engine emission control maintenance. In order to document that the proper regular maintenance has been performed on the non-road engine, Volvo recommends that the owner keep all records and receipts of such maintenance. These records and receipts should be transferred to each subsequent purchaser of the non-road engine.


Presentation

16

USA federal clean air act Service Performed By Your Local Dealer Your local dealer is best qualified to give you good, dependable service since he has trained service technicians and is equipped with genuine original manufacturer´s parts and special tools, as well as the latest technical publications. Discuss your servicing and maintenance requirements with your local dealer. He can tailor a maintenance program for your needs. For regular scheduled service or maintenance, it is advisable to contact your local dealer in advance to arrange for an appointment to ensure availability of the correct equipment and service technician to work on your machine. This will aid your local dealer in efforts to decrease service time on your machine.

Preventative Maintenance Program To retain the dependability, noise level and exhaust emission control performance originally built into your conventional non-road engine, it is essential that the non-road engine receive periodic service, inspections, adjustments and maintenance.

Fuel System Fuel Recommendations The fuel used must be clean, completely distilled, stable and noncorrosive. Distillation range, cetane level and sulfur content are most important when selecting fuel for optimum combustion and minimum wear. Engine working conditions and ambient temperature influence the selection of the fuel with respect to cold handling properties and cetane levels. In cold weather conditions, below 32 °F (0 °C), the use of lighter distillate or higher cetane level fuel are recommended. (Final boiling point max. 660 °F (349 °C) and a cetane min 45). To avoid excessive deposit formation and to minimize the emissions of sulfur dioxide into the ambient air, the sulfur content of the fuel should be the lowest available. The diesel fuels recommended should meet ASTM designation: D 975 No. 1D (C-B) or No. 2D (TT); with a cetane level above 42 and sulfur content not exceeding 0.05 percent by weight. Check for fuel leaks (while the engine is running at fast idle): Q

Visually check unions and hose connections.

Check the conditions of the fuel hoses for: Q

Ageing

Q

Cracks

Q

Blisters

Q

Scuffing

Check the condition of the fuel tank: Q

Adjusting heating and ventilation The instructions below are basic recommendations. Each operator should experiment to achieve the best possible working environment in the cab, i.e. the right temperature without a draught. For the best temperature control in the cab try to have as many nozzles as possible open. Maximum recirculation set with the air distribution control May be used as a setting for reducing the intake of bad-smelling air. This also reduces the accumulation of dust in the cab ventilation filters. If the windows mist up, turn the control to Maximum ambient air. When required check and clean or replace the cab ventilation filters, see page 153.

IMPORTANT! The differential lock must only be engaged when the machine is standing. Make sure, that under no circumstances, the differential lock is activated when the wheels are turning with different speeds. When the differential lock is engaged control light (13) lights up, see page 28. If only one wheel of an axle turns although the differential lock switch is depressed, interrupt the drive and operate the steering to help the dog clutch to engage. The differential lock may be disengaged while driving. IMPORTANT! When cornering on hard ground the differential lock must be switched off.

1041266

IMPORTANT! The differential lock should only be used when operating on slippery ground. When operating on firm ground, particularly when turning, the differential lock must be disengaged. IMPORTANT! If the machine has become stuck and one of the wheels is spinning, the wheel must be stopped before engaging the differential lock. Otherwise the drive axle system may be damaged. NOTE! If there is risk of getting stuck, engage the differential lock before the machine has got stuck. For further information on the differential lock, see page 51.


Operating instructions

Braking

77

Braking Brake smoothly. This is particularly important when operating with a load and on slippery ground. IMPORTANT! Do not apply the parking brake while the machine is moving. The parking brake should only be used when the machine has been stopped or as an emergency brake. NOTE! When the parking brake is operated the transmission will be forced into Neutral gear.

Operating techniques The following pages contain advice and instructions on how to operate the machine and examples of how the most common attachments are used. It is important that the correct operating techniques are used to carry out the work in a safe and efficient way. The machine is equipped with load-sensing hydraulics, which means that the oil in the system is supplied proportionally according to the position (deflection) of the control levers. If the control levers are in neutral position, consequently no oil is supplied from the pumps. To utilise the system in the best way and at the lowest fuel consumption, the engine speed should be kept low during all operations. Lifting speed and power are sufficient already at low engine speed, which will result in a lower fuel consumption, lower sound level and higher comfort with maintained high productivity. Torque Nm

Whole-body vibrations

Whole-body vibrations Whole-body vibration emissions on construction machinery are affected by a number of factors, such as the working mode, ground conditions, speed, etc. To a large extent the operator can influence the actual vibration levels, because the operator controls the speed of the machine, its working mode, the travel path, etc. Therefore, the result can be a range of different vibration levels for the same type of machine.

Guidelines for reducing vibration levels on earthmoving machines Q Q

Use the proper type and size of machine, with optional equipment and attachments for the application. Keep the terrain and haul roads in good condition. – Remove any large rocks or obstacles. – Fill any ditches and holes. – Provide equipment and schedule time to maintain terrain conditions.

Q

Adjust the machine speed and travel path to minimize the vibration level. – Drive around obstacles and rough terrain conditions. – Reduce the speed when it is necessary to go over rough terrain.

Q

Maintain machines according to the manufacturer's recommendations. – Tire pressures. – Brake and steering systems. – Controls, hydraulic system and linkages.

Q

Keep the seat maintained and adjusted. – Adjust the seat and suspension for the weight and size of the operator. – Inspect and maintain the seat suspension and adjustment mechanisms. – Use the seat belt and adjust it correctly.

Q

Steer, brake, accelerate, shift gears, and move the attachments smoothly.

Q

Minimize vibrations for long work cycle or long distance travelling. – Use Boom Suspension System if available. – If no Boom Suspension System is available, reduce speed to prevent bouncing. – Transport machines when there are long distances between worksites.


Operating techniques

Whole-body vibrations

87

Back pain associated with whole-body vibrations may be caused by other risk factors. The following guidelines can be effective to minimize risks of back pains: – Adjust the seat and controls to achieve good posture. – Adjust the mirrors to minimize twisted posture. – Provide breaks to reduce long periods of sitting. – Avoid jumping down from the cab or access system. – Minimize repeated handling and lifting of loads. – Maintain reasonable weight and physical condition.

Working within dangerous areas

Working within dangerous areas Q

Observe great care at marked danger areas.

Q

Do not operate too close to the edge of a quay, ramp, etc.

Q

Move slowly when working in confined spaces and check that here is sufficient room for machine and load.

Q

When working under ground, special equipment, e.g. certified engine is required within the EU and in EES countries. Talk to your dealer.

Q

When working in low light conditions, e.g. buildings and tunnels, use head light.

Q

Do not operate the machine when visibility is poor such as a heavy fog, snow or rain.

Q

When working in an area which is contaminated or dangerous to one’s health, the machine must be especially equipped for this purpose. Talk to your dealer. Check also local regulations before entering the area.

6 m (20 ft)

WARNING! Make sure that the machine does not come into contact with power lines while the power is switched on. Injuries will arise if part of your body should come into contact with a machine which is conducting electrical power. High voltage is lethal and the current sufficiently strong to destroy both machine and attachments. Your life is in danger if you come into contact with or close to high voltage power lines. Always contact the power company responsible before beginning any work near high voltage power lines. Go through the special instructions issued by the power company for work/presence near the power lines. Regard all power lines as if they were live even if they are supposed to be without current. Working when the machine or its load at any time is closer than the minimum safety distance to a power line, is taking a very serious risk. Q

Remember that the voltage of the power line determines the safety distance. Electrical flash-over may occur and damage machine and operator at fairly great distances from the power line.

Q

Find out what action to take if a person has been exposed to an electric shock.

IMPORTANT! Also when transporting the machine, take overhead power lines into consideration. IMPORTANT! There can be a visual distortion through roof window. Real distance should be reconsidered.

Overhead railway power lines

WARNING! Bear in mind that the power line over the adjacent track may be live. Loading and unloading is only permissible between the boundary signs. The signs may be mounted directly on the power line or on special posts. Q

Contact authorised railway personnel to obtain permission to load or unload.

Q

After any breaks in the work, always contact the railway personnel again.

Underground cables and pipes Make sure that authorities or companies responsible for cables and pipes have been contacted and that their instructions are followed. Also check which rules apply to ground personnel regarding exposing cables and pipes. Normally only the service companies' own personnel may expose and arrange provisional suspension of cables. Make use of a signal man when you cannot see the actual point where you are working or when the position of the pipe or cable is critical, see page 117. The position of the pipe or cable may deviate from the drawing or distances may be incorrectly determined. Regard all electrical cables as live.

Working where there is risk of landslip Always check ground conditions before beginning to work. If the ground is soft, great care must be taken when positioning the machine. Thawing of frozen ground, rain, traffic, piling and blasting are factors which increase the risk of landslip. The risk also increases on sloping ground. Q

Do not operate too close to the edge of a steep slope or road bank. Take care when working in a place where the machine may tip.

Q

Take care when working on river banks or in other similar places where the ground is soft. There is a risk that the machine, because of its own weight and own vibrations, may sink and this could lead to accidents.

Q

Keep in mind that the ground conditions may have changed after heavy rain. Therefore, be careful when restarting work. This is particularly important when working near the edge of ditches, road verges or similar, as the ground may easily give way after it has been raining.


Operating techniques

90

Working within dangerous areas Working on slopes IMPORTANT! In order not to jeopardize the lubrication of the engine, it must not be inclined more than 35 degrees in either direction. However, note that the machine can perhaps not manage to work at this angle. It may cause the machine to become unstable or unbalanced, depending on the load. Q

Be careful when opening or closing the doors on a slope, operational force may be changed rapidly. Make sure to keep the doors closed.

Q

Do not descend backward on a slope.

Q

Operate the travel function slowly when approaching or descending a slope.

Q

Do not change direction or travel a cross on a slope. Change direction on level ground, if necessary first come down to level ground and make a detour.

Q

If the machine slides, immediately lower the bucket to the ground. The machine can turn over due to unbalance.

Q

While travelling on a slope, raise the bucket 20–30 cm from the ground.

Q

If the engine shuts down on a slope, lower the attachment to the ground.

Working in water Do not exceed the maximum permitted water depth, reaching the lower foot step. IMPORTANT! Check the water depth before taking the machine into the water.

Working in cold weather WARNING! In very low temperatures the hydraulic system of the machine will response slowly. Therefore, take care before the system has reached operating temperature, so that accidents are avoided. Read the advice for starting, see page 72. The windows must be free from ice and snow before putting the machine to work. Q

Watch out for ice on the machine causing slippery conditions. Step only onto anti-slip surfaces.

Q

Use an ice scraper on a long handle or a ladder when removing ice from the windows.

Q

Warm up the systems carefully and avoid high engine speed.

WARNING! Avoid contact between unprotected skin and very cold metal objects, as the skin may freeze to the metal.

WARNING! Disconnect the electrical engine heater before servicing the machine. There may be risk of burns and electrical shock.

Attachments

Attachments Using the correct attachment for a particular job is a deciding factor for the capacity of the machine. The machine has either permanently mounted attachment or attachment mounted in a attachment bracket which allows rapid changes of attachment. When selecting a working attachment, observe the recommendations of the Volvo CE working attachment catalogue. The EU Machine Safety Directive is stated on the product plate of the machine by way of the CE symbol. This identification therefore also covers the attachment which are designed and marked by Volvo CE, as they are an integrated part of the machine and adapted to the machine. We will only assume reliability for machines which are operated with the attachments, equipment and spare parts specified by us. Attachments manufactured by other companies must be approved by Volvo CE for the specific machine, have a CE marking and be delivered with a Declaration of Conformity as well as operating instructions.

WARNING! Never use any attachment, unless you have checked that it is securely fastened and that the attachment including hydraulic hoses, hose connections and other components is free of damage. Your safety is concerned!


Operating techniques

Connecting and disconnecting attachments

93

Connecting and disconnecting attachments IMPORTANT! When changing to another attachment, the holes for the lock pins in the new attachment should be cleaned and lubricated.

WARNING! Never use an attachment until you have checked that it is securely fastened and that the attachment including hydraulic hoses, connections and similar are undamaged – your safety is involved.

Q

Make sure that the hydraulic oil in the attachment, which is to be connected, is not contaminated (foreign particles, water etc.) and that it is of the same quality as that of the machine itself.

WARNING! Check that the attachment is properly locked by pressing the front edge of the attachment against the ground, so that the front end of the machine begins to rise slightly, see the figure below. If you are uncertain as to whether the attachment is securely locked, you must visually check that the locking pins of the attachment bracket are in the locked position.

WARNING!

1041423

When connecting attachments, the operator should make sure that the expected effect is obtained when moving the control levers. An unexpected movement may possibly result in an accident. Always check the function before the machine is put to work and that hydraulic hoses etc. for the attachment can move freely and are sufficiently long throughout the whole working range of the lifting arms and the tilting function. Extension hoses are available – contact a workshop authorized by Volvo CE.

Disconnecting 1 The attachment should be in a level position just above the ground. 2 Release the locking pins by first pressing the upper end of the switch (see page 19) and then push control lever 2 forward in order to retract the locking pins. 3 Lower the lifting arms so that they disengage from the attachment. 4 Reverse away from the attachment.

WARNING! The switch for attachment locking must only be actuated in connection with the changing of attachments. Otherwise the pressure may be lost and as a consequence the attachment may work loose and cause injuries.

3 Move control lever (2) forward and rearward several times (approx. 5 seconds in each direction). The pressure in hoses from timber grapples can be released in the following way: 1 Close the clamping arm fully. 2 Make a quick movement with the lever in the opposite direction. The hoses become "slack" when the pressure is released. The attachment should always rest on the ground when releasing the pressure.

1041423

Excess pressure in a hydraulic attachment can be released by slackening the lock nut between the hose and the hydraulic pipe and then tightening it again. Meanwhile watch the attachment. Collect the surplus oil.

To pick up solid, cohesive materials it is recommended to operate the lever (1) alternately several times quickly from from tilting forward to tilting backwards when entering into the material. This eases entering of the bucket into the material.

Q

During the transport of the picked up material the bucket should not be higher than 0.5 m (20 in) above the ground.

Q

You should never drive longer distances with a high raised loaded bucket.

Q

When lever (1) is in "float position", the bucket rests on the ground "without force" and can be used e.g. to level the tracks when reversing.

Operating techniques

Boom suspension system (BSS)

97

Boom suspension system (BSS) (optional equipment) The Boom suspension system (BSS) works only after reaching 6 km/h. When speed drops below 6 km/h, the BSS function will be disengaged. This function can only be pre-selected when the engine is running. 1 Lower bucket or other attachment flat on the ground. 2 Upper end of switch pressed in = Speed-dependent BSS selected. The BSS control lamp on the centre instrument starts blinking (BSS safety state). 1041546

3 Lift the attachment up from the ground by approx. 0.5 m (20 in). The BSS control lamp on the centre instrument extinguishes (BSS idle state). 4 After reaching a travel speed of 6 km/h (4 mph) the BSS is activated. The BSS control lamp on the centre instrument lights up continuously (BSS active state). 5 When the attachment is lowered (almost to the ground) or the travel speed drops below 6 km/h (4 mph) the BSS changes back to idle state. 6 The BSS is switched off by pressing the lower end of the switch or by turning off the engine.

WARNING! Before starting maintenance or repair work, park the machine on level ground, rest the working equipment flat on the ground and relieve the pressure in the hydraulic system. Shut down the engine and actuate the lever for working hydraulics several times from neutral to tilting forward and backwards. NOTE! The Boom suspension system must not be activated while travelling. For precise work with working attachments the Boom suspension system must be disabled.

Buckets

Buckets WARNING! The bucket must not be used for transporting or lifting people – as this might lead to accidents. NOTE! Excavating or surface stripping must not be carried out at high speed, if the bucket is tilted more than 15°, and a fully tilted bucket must be avoided.

Choosing bucket Q

The choice of bucket is dependent on the condition of the material (hard/loose), its density (heavy/light) and on the tipping load of the machine.

Q

A too large bucket relative to the density of the material and the tipping load of the machine will give the impression that the machine is weak and unstable and will not increase the productivity.

Bucket operation To obtain efficient and safe operation it is important to bear the following points in mind: Q

Select the correct bucket.

Q

Level the ground at the work site as far as possible and make sure the ground is firm.

Q

Avoid wheel spin by adapting the engine speed and by transferring as much weight onto the front wheels as possible. This is achieved by slightly raising the bucket after it has begun to enter the material.

Q

Work with a straight machine against the material to obtain the greatest penetrating ability. This also contributes to reduced tyre wear.


Operating techniques

Buckets

99

Gravel and heap loading 1 Adjust the bucket so that it is level and lower it to the ground just in front of the gravel heap. 2 Enter the material. When the machine has nearly come to a standstill because the maximum tractive effort of the machine has been reached, begin to raise the bucket while at the same time tilt backward with short control lever movements. If possible avoid tilting the bucket forward when filling it. Exaggerated lever movements causes wheel spin. Never move into the material at a high speed. Suitable bucket:

Straight bucket with or without teeth.

WARNING! Pay attention to the risk of falling material. Falling material can cause severe accidents if due care is not taken.

Excavating Q

When excavating and surface stripping, start by angling the bucket 2–3° downward.

Q

Operate in 1st gear and at low engine speed. Gradually increase the engine speed at the same time as you raise the bucket slightly.

Q

If the ground conditions are poor and the wheels tend to spin, use the differential lock.

NOTE! You must never engage the differential lock when one of the wheels is spinning. Let up the accelerator until the wheel stops. Suitable bucket:

Straight with or without teeth (alt. levelling bucket)

Suitable gear:

Gear selector in position 1

BSS:

Buckets Transporting load (loading – carrying) Q

The bucket should be fully tilted backward and kept in the carrying position 30–40 cm (12–16 in) above the ground.

Q

Keep the transporting road even and free from stones and other objects. There is always spillage from a too full bucket.

Q

Even out the road on the way back if necessary.

Suitable maximum speed:

Approx. 15 km/h (9.3 mph)

NOTE! Remember that the stability of a heavily loaded machine changes when it is steered.

Dumping load WARNING! If visibility is limited by the load or the attachment, great care must be taken. Walk around the machine before starting and make sure that no persons remain in or enter the working area of the machine. If you are uncertain, raise the load and check the conditions in the operation area by looking under the load and operate at low speed. If necessary, arrange for a signalling person to take charge and to help the operator under "tricky" circumstances. Great care must be taken to prevent injuries and damage to property. Q

If you are working on an incline, try to arrange so that the load can be dumped uphill. This affects the stability of the machine in a positive way.

Q

Keep the bucket as close to the platform or bin as possible to achieve a smooth dumping and better control of the positioning of the load.

Q

When loading rock, try to fill the first bucket with as fine material as possible in order to soften the impact of subsequent larger pieces.

Positioning of transporting vehicle Q

The positioning of the hauler (transporting vehicle) is of great importance for making the loading operation efficient.

Q

The operator should indicate where the transporting vehicle is to stand, suitably by "pointing" with the bucket. Having done so, the operator is then responsible for that the place is safe.

Levelling Q

The bucket should lie flat against the ground. To be able to fill any hollows you should have material in and in front of the bucket when operating forwards.

Q

To finish off the levelling operation, keep the edge of the bucket slightly downward and reverse while pressing the bucket lightly against the ground.

Buckets High tipping bucket (optional equipment) The high tipping bucket is a combination of carrier and bucket. During tilting the carrier acts like an extension of the lifting frame, thereby providing a high dumping height. During loading and transport the bucket is tilted backwards between the carrier and the bucket body is almost in the same position as a normal bucket, so that there are almost no disadvantages with respect to breakout force, lifting force and tipping load. – The bucket cylinder is activated in the 'tilt function' by means of the lever (2). – For loading, transporting and lifting tilt the bucket fully backwards.

M300099A

– Empty the bucket only when the desired lifting height is reached. NOTE! Avoid tilting of the high tipping bucket with the standard tipping function, or if necessary tilt only with low tilting speed, so that the bucket remains fully tilted backwards on the carrier.

Checking fork tines A Angle B Attaching lugs C Thickness

IMPORTANT! Only pallet forks approved for the machine by Volvo CE may be used. Pallet forks are only to be used for intended purpose: Must, for example, therefore not be used as a crowbar for prizing loose a tree stump, large stone or similar. Must not be overloaded or loaded obliquely. Must not be used as lifting equipment together with chains or slings for lifting objects. Fork tine back frame and fork tines must be dimensioned to withstand loads which the lifting capacity of the machine permits. Pallet forks and fork retainer must be kept free from dirt and rust and be well greased for best possible function. The fork arms are dimensioned according to ISO 2330 and are classified together with the machine according to the norms in force.

IMPORTANT! With attached loading fork the machine must not be used in public traffic. IMPORTANT! Make sure that stops (D) are properly located, thus preventing the fork arms from sliding off the fork frame. Particularly important when the fork arms are moved sideways manually. Make sure that the fork arms are locked against the fork retainer. The locking prevents the fork arms from moving sideways inadvertently.

D 1027071

Fork frame D Stop

WARNING! When detaching pallet forks from the machine, stabiliser legs should be placed against the ground.

Q

Check the pallet forks regularly as regards wear. It is particularly important to check the heel of the fork tine.

Q

Check that stops (D) for the fork arms are properly located.

Q

Check that the fork arms are locked against the fork frame.

Q

The fork tine should not be used any more if: – the fork tine has been worn down to 90% of its original thickness – the angle between fork tine and shank has become greater than 93°. – the attaching lugs are worn or cracked.

Q

Cracks or wear must not be made good by welding.


Operating techniques

110

Pallet forks Operating with pallet forks The most important points for work with pallet forks are: Q

The operator should have suitable training.

Q

The operator is responsible for that permissible load values are not exceeded.

Q

The fork makes a semicircular movement when it is raised. Therefore, start raising the fork a little bit away from the place where the load is to be placed.

Q

The fork must not be raised other than when stacking or depositing pallets.

Q

When operating without a load in the fork, the tines should be held low and tilted upward.

Q

When stacking material, the fork tines should be kept horizontal.

Q

Choose the most suitable travel path with the smoothest surface or, when required, rectify by levelling off the ground.

Q

The travelling speed should be adapted to the ground conditions.

Q

For increased stability, when working with pallet forks, it is important that the tyre pressure is correct according to recommendations.

Q

With a wide load it may be advantageous to move the fork arms out on the fork frame to obtain increased stability of the load. Also make sure that the load is centred sideways with regard to the centre of gravity.

Q

When operating downhill with a heavy load it may be better to reverse the machine.

1003933

NOTE! For heavy work which require great break-out force, e.g. breaking out tree stumps and carrying marble blocks – use attachments approved by Volvo CE.


Operating techniques

Pallet forks

111

Picking up a load Q

Choose fork tines with a correct length so that they do not protrude outside the load. Previously deposited pallet or goods may be damaged as the penetrating force of the fork tines is very great.

Q

Place the load as close to the vertical shank of the fork as possible.

Q

Lift the load with the least possible inclination of the pallet fork.

Q

There may be deviations from the complete parallel movement (see the Specifications) and this may affect the use of the fork.

Operating with a load

1003936

Q

Keep the load low 30–40 cm (12–16 in) above the ground to achieve the best possible stability and vision.

Q

Tilt the load rearward to hold it more secure.

Q

If the load obscures the vision, reverse the machine to the place where the load is to be deposited.

Q

Adapt the speed to the existing conditions.

Q

When handling high loads, use a special load support.

Combi-forks The combination grapple is a good alternative when handling material that require a certain amount of holding. Here a special combi-fork back frame is used where standard fork tines are installed. The combi fork is suitable for:

WARNING

Q

Palletised goods and round timber.

Q

Within the pulp industry and on building sites, where both palletised goods and compressed material (waste paper, packaging material etc.) are handled.

WARNING! When detaching pallet forks from the machine, stabiliser legs should be placed against the ground.

Approval and legal provisions The permissible rated operating load capacity according to CEN standard EN 474-3 is given as a percentage of the tipping load. The percentage values, which must not be exceeded, are as follows: L67323A

Uneven ground:

60 % of tipping load

Firm and even ground:

80 % of tipping load

It must be possible to control and handle the load hydraulically in all likely positions at the same time as all other hydraulic circles are actuated. The maximum permissible load capacity is determined either by the stability of the machine or its hydraulic capacity whichever is less. In countries outside the EU/EEA other regulations may apply. Therefore, always check which local rules apply.

Road sweeping (optional equipment)

115

Road sweeping (optional equipment) Q

When using the machine on public roads check which local and national regulations concerning the attachment of road sweeping equipment must be complied with.

Q

The road sweeping machine is most suitable for sweeping paved surfaces, but not for hazardous substances and health threatening dusts.

Q

Connect the hydraulic hoses correctly so that the hoses are free and not squashed when starting the road sweeper.

Q

For road sweeping machines with water spraying device plug the electric plug for the water pump into the socket on the front frame.

Q

During operation make sure that the height adjustable supporting wheels are adjusted to such a height, that the horizontally adjusted broom drum only just touches the ground. The weight of the road sweeping machine must always rest on the supporting wheels and not on the brushes. If the brushes are adjusted too low the broom bristles will brake and the steering rollers will vibrate.

Q

All guards and safety devices must always be in place. During work the resting supports must be in raised position.

Q

The working speed should be 4-8 km/h (2.5-5 mph) (select speed range gear stage "1").

Q

Grease all lubrication points on the road sweeping machine after approx. 30 operating hours (for quality of grease, see page 178).

Q

The condition of hydraulic oil lines must be examined at least once every year, replace if necessary.


Operating techniques

Lifting objects

Lifting objects When using the machine for lifting, e.g. the lifting of freely suspended loads, you must strictly comply with the statutory and locally valid safety regulations.

Working with a load hook During lifting work the stability of the machine must be assured. For safe performance of the work the driver himself must strictly observe the respective conditions and prerequisites. Q As far as this is possible, the machine should be standing on a firm and level base. Q On soft, uneven or sloping surfaces, if there is a risk of collapsing, application of transverse loads or other dangers of similar nature greatest care must be exercised. Q If the machine is standing on a sloping surface the centre of gravity is displaced and during lifting a position may be reached in which the machine will turn over. Q Use only suitable lifting tackle. Q When driving with hanging load keep the load as low as possible. Q Operate machine and load hook with careful movements to avoid pendulum movements of the load, if necessary stabilize load with lashing ropes. Q The speed must be adjusted to the condition of the driving ground.

Slinging

L64488A

Make sure that the chain or rope used to secure the load is not fitted in a perpendicular direction and that it cannot be damaged by sharp edges. No persons must remain under the unsecured load when attaching the chain or rope, or when lifting loads. Q Boards, planks, reinforcing irons or similar should have the sling arranged so that they cannot fall out of the loops. Q Girders should generally be lifted with a clamping device. Q Padding made from, for example, cut up compressed-air hoses, may be used in order to protect the slings. Q The slings should be well tightened.

WARNING! Never attach a lifting device (chain, sling or similar) around the teeth on the bucket when lifting. If a tooth should break, there is a risk of serious injury.

Running checks of lifting attachments Continuous supervision should be carried out at regular intervals by a knowledgeable and experienced person and arranged by the employer. Should wear, cracks or other deficiencies, which may jeopardise the safety of the machine or the lifting equipment, be noticed during the running checks, the machine or the lifting equipment must not be used.

Safety when servicing

Before service read

121

Preventing environmental influence Be conscious of the environment when carrying out service and maintenance. Oil and other liquids dangerous to the environment and released into the environment will cause damage. Oil degrades very slowly in water and sediment. One litre of oil can destroy millions of litres of drinking water. NOTE! In common for all points below is that all waste is to be handed over to a treatment and disposal firm approved by the authorities. Q

When draining, oils and liquids must be collected in suitable vessels and steps taken to avoid spillage.

Q

Used filters must be drained of all liquid before they are passed on as waste. Used filters from machines which work in environments with asbestos or other dangerous dust, must be placed in the bag supplied with the new filter.

Q

Batteries contain substances dangerous to the environment and health. Used batteries must therefore be handled as waste dangerous to the environment.

Q

Consumables, e.g. used rags, gloves and bottles may also be contaminated with oils and liquids dangerous to the environment and must in that case be treated as waste dangerous to the environment.


Safety when servicing

122

Fire prevention

Fire prevention WARNING! If the machine is used in an environment where the risk of fire is particularly high, e.g. in explosive environment, special equipment is required. There is always a risk of fire. Find out what kind of fire extinguisher is used on your working site and how to use it. If the machine is equipped with a fire extinguisher, it should be kept inside the cab on the left side of the operator. If the machine is to be provided with a hand-held fire extinguisher, it should be of the ABE type (ABC in North America). The designation ABE means that it is possible to extinguish fires in both solid organic material and liquids, and that the fire extinguishing compound does not conduct electricity. Efficiency class I means that the effective operating time of the extinguisher must not be less than 8 seconds, class II at least 11 seconds and grade III at least 15 seconds. A hand-held fire extinguisher ABE I normally corresponds to a powder content of 4 kg (8.8 lb) (EN-grade 13A89BC), standard EN 3-1995, parts 1, 2, 4 and 5.

Fire prevention measures Q

Do not smoke or have an open flame near a machine when filling with fuel or when the fuel system is opened and in contact with the surrounding air.

Q

Diesel fuel oil is flammable and must not be used for cleaning. Use conventional car care products meant for cleaning or degreasing. Also bear in mind that certain solvents can cause skin rashes, damage to the paint finish and constitute fire hazard.

Q

Keep the place clean where the service is to be carried out. Oil and water can make the floor slippery and is also dangerous in connection with electrical equipment or electrically powered tools. Oily and greasy clothes are a serious fire hazard.

Q

Check daily that the machine and the equipment, e.g. underbelly plates are free from dust and oil. Besides reducing the risk of fire, it is also easier to detect faulty or loose components.

NOTE! Take great care if a high-pressure wash is used for cleaning. Electrical components and electrical leads can be damaged even at a moderately high pressure and temperature. Protect electrical leads in an appropriate way. Q

Take extra care when cleaning a machine working in a fire-sensitive environment, e.g. saw-mill and refuse dumps. The risk of spontaneous combustion can be further reduced by installing insulation of the silencer guard.

Q

It is important that the fire extinguisher is maintained in order to work when it is needed.


Safety when servicing

Fire prevention Q

123

Check that fuel lines, hydraulic and brake hoses and electrical cables have not been damaged by chafing or are not in danger of being damaged in that way because of incorrect installation or clamping. This applies particularly to unfused cables, which are red and marked R (B+) and routed: – between the batteries – between battery and starter motor – between alternator and starter motor Electrical cables must not lie directly against oil or fuel lines.

Q

Do not weld or grind on components which are filled with flammable liquids, e.g. tanks and hydraulic pipes. Exercise care with such work also in the proximity of such places. A fire extinguisher should be kept near to hand.

Actions in case of fire If the circumstances permit and your own safety is not jeopardised, take the following steps at the slightest sign of fire: 1 Stop the machine, if the machine is in motion. 2 Lower attachments to the ground. 3 Move the control lockout lever to locked position, if so equipped. 4 Turn the ignition key to stop position. 5 Exit the cab. 6 Call the fire brigade. 7 If possible to access safely, turn off the battery disconnect switch. 8 Attempt to put out the fire, if possible. Otherwise, move away from the machine and out of the danger zone.

Actions after fire When handling a machine which has been damaged by fire or been exposed to intense heat, the following protective measures must be followed: Q

Use thick, protective gloves made of rubber and wear goggles.

Q

Never touch burnt components with your bare hands in order to avoid contact with melted polymer materials. First wash thoroughly with plenty of lime water (a solution consisting of calcium hydroxide, i.e. slaked lime in water).

Handling hazardous materials

Handling hazardous materials Heated paint

WARNING! All paint decomposes when heated and forms compounds which may be irritating and after long or frequent exposure also very unhealthy. Heated paint gives off poisonous gases. Therefore, paint must be removed from an area with a radius of at least 10 cm (4 in) before carrying out welding, grinding or gas cutting. In addition to the health hazard, the weld will be of inferior quality and strength, which, in the future, may cause the weld to break. Methods and precautionary measures when removing paint Q

Blasting – use respiratory protective equipment and protective goggles

Q

Paint remover or other chemicals – use a portable air extractor, respiratory protective equipment and protective gloves

Q

Grinding machine – use a portable air extractor, respiratory protective equipment and protective gloves and goggles

Never burn painted parts after they have been discarded. They should be disposed of by a licensed disposal plant.

Heated rubber and plastics Polymer materials can, when heated, form compounds which are dangerous to health and environment and must therefore never be burned when scrapped. If gas cutting or welding is to be carried out near such materials, the following safety instructions must be followed: – Protect the material from heat. – Use protective gloves, protective goggles and respiratory protective equipment.


Safety when servicing

Handling hazardous materials

125

Heated fluoro-carbon rubber

WARNING! Certain seals which are designed to withstand high operating temperatures, e.g. in engine, main control valve, hydraulic motor and pumps may be made from fluoro-carbon rubber. When heated to high temperatures, fluoro-carbon rubber decomposes to hydrogen fluoride and hydrofluoric acid, which is strongly corrosive on skin and respiratory tracts. When handling a machine which has been damaged by fire or been exposed to intense heat, the following measures should be taken: Q

Use thick, rubber gloves and wear protective goggles.

Q

Discard gloves, rags and other items that have been in contact with heated fluoro-carbon rubber after first having washed these items in lime water (a solution of calcium hydroxide, i.e. slaked lime in water).

Q

The area around a part which has been very hot and which may be made of fluoro-carbon rubber should be decontaminated by thorough and ample washing with lime water.

Q

As a precaution, all seals (O-rings and other oil seals) should be handled as if they were made of fluoro-carbon rubber.

Q

The hydrofluoric acid may remain on the machine parts for several years after a fire.

Q

If swelling, redness or a stinging feeling appears and one suspects that the cause may be contact with heated fluoro-carbon rubber, contact a medical doctor immediately. Several hours may pass, however, before any symptoms appear and there is no immediate warning.

Q

The acid cannot be rinsed or washed off from the skin. Treat instead with Hydrofluoric Acid Burn Jelly or similar before contacting a medical doctor.

Refrigerant NOTE! All kinds of service on the air conditioning unit must be carried out by accredited workshops by, or under the guidance of, a person in a leading position with certified competence.

WARNING! Refrigerant R134a easily causes frost-bite if it comes into contact with bare skin. When heated, gases are formed, which can be harmful to lungs and nervous system. The air conditioning unit of the machine is filled with refrigerant R134a at the factory. R134a has no harmful influence on the ozone layer, but contributes, however, to the greenhouse effect and must therefore never intentionally be released into open air. IMPORTANT! R134a must never be mixed with another kind of refrigerant, e.g. R12, as this leads to a breakdown of the unit.


Safety when servicing

126

Handling hazardous materials In case of contact with escaping refrigerant, the following measures should be taken: Q

If a leak is suspected, leave the risk area and contact an accredited workshop to get information about measures.

Q

The gases formed by heated refrigerant, may be harmful to lungs and nervous system even at low concentrations when no smell is apparent. High concentrations have a narcotic effect. Exposed persons should be remove from the risk area and out into the fresh air. Seek medical advice, if the symptoms remain.

Q

When fluid, the refrigerant may cause frost-bite. Warm carefully the injured area with lukewarm water or warm clothes. Seek medical advice, if the symptoms remain.

Q

Seek medical advice, if liquid refrigerant has come into someone’s eyes.

Batteries

WARNING! Batteries contain sulphuric acid, which is strongly corrosive to skin. Q

Do not smoke near batteries as these give off explosive gases.

Q

Make sure that metal objects, e.g. tools, rings and watch straps, do not come into contact with the battery pole studs.

Q

Make sure the protections are always installed over the battery pole studs.

Q

Do not tilt a battery in any direction. Battery electrolyte may leak out.

Q

Do not connect a discharged battery in series with a fully charged battery. Risk for explosion.

Crystalline silica (quartz) dust

WARNING! Avoid exposure to dust containing crystalline silica particles as it can cause serious injury to the lungs (silicosis). Crystalline silica is a basis component of sand and granite. Therefore, many activities at construction and mining sites, such as trenching, sawing and boring, produce crystalline silica dust. This dust can cause silicosis. The employer or working site management should provide the operator with information about the presence of crystalline silica in the work site along with specific work instructions and precautions and also necessary personnel protection equipment. Also check the local / national regulations regarding silica / silicosis.

152

Tyres

Tyres Inflating tyres Check the tyres for damages and correct air pressure every 50 hours. For tyre size and recommended air pressure, see page 190. Recommended air pressure should be followed. Special handling operations may require an adjustment of the air pressure. In such cases follow the instructions from the tire manufacturer and do not exceed the maximum permissible air pressures according to the recommendations. The tyre pressure may have been raised before the machine was delivered from the factory. Therefore, check and adjust the tyre pressure according to recommendations, before putting the machine to work for the first time. The adherence to the specified air pressure has a decisive influence on the lifetime of the tires.

WARNING! Repair work on tyres and rims must be carried out by personnel who have been especially trained for this and have the correct equipment. – When checking the tyre pressure, the tyre should be cold and the machine without a load. – Ask all other persons to leave the danger area (in front of the rim). – Use a long air hose (with a self-attaching air chuck) which allows you to stand outside the danger area. – Stand by the tyre tread as shown in the figure. Tyre installed on a split rim may explode causing injury or in the worst case death. – Never attempt to force back into position, or in any other way reposition, rim parts or lock ring which have worked loose, while there still is air pressure in the tire. – Do not combine rim parts of different dimensions and do not use damaged or defective parts. – Always relieve the tire pressure before removing foreign obstacles from the tread of a tire. – After checking and filling screw the valve cap back on. – Do not re-inflate a tyre, if the machine has been operated with a tyre pressure that has been below 80% of the lowest recommended tyre pressure according to the specifications, or if the tyre and/or rim are obviously damaged or are suspected of being damaged. – Tyres on stored wheels (spare wheels) should be kept in a lying down position and only be inflated sufficiently to keep the rim parts in position.

Wheel nuts, checking tightening After having changed a tyre or if the wheel has been removed and installed for any other reason, the wheel nuts must be check-tightened after eight hours of operation. Tightening torque: 560–600 Nm (413–443 ft lb)

The cab ventilation filters consist of prefilter and main filter. The clogging up of the filters is entirely dependent on the working environment of the machine, but the filters should be checked once a week. The main filter should be replaced every 2000 hours and the prefilter every 1000 hours. NOTE! The interval between filter replacements can be increased or reduced depending on how dusty the working environment is. NOTE! The cab filters are only intended to separate particles (dust) from the air. Any dangerous gases are not trapped by the filters. 1026286

A B

Prefilter Main filter (inside the plastic casing)

Cleaning 1 Use a respirator (face mask). 2 Open the side cover and remove the filters. 3 Carefully shake the filters without damaging them. Avoid using compressed air, vacuum cleaner or water.

Asbestos filter (optional equipment) The filter is especially intended for use in environments where there may be asbestos dust, but it is of course effective against all other kinds of dust when the operator needs highly filtered air in the cab. Testing: The filter meets the requirements according to DOPMIL standard 282 and thereby also the requirements of the National Swedish Board of Occupational Safety and Health regulations Asbestos AFS 1996:13. It also meets the requirements according to EN 1822:1 filter class H13. Pay attention to any national regulations issued for work in hazardous environments.

Asbestos Advice for operating in environments where dust / asbestos dust is present Q It is important that the cab is kept free from dust / asbestos dust as far as possible: – Enter and leave the machine in a place away from the asbestos contaminated area. – Keep clothes and shoes clean from dust. – Tidy and vacuum-clean the cab often and use personal protective equipment, for instance respirator (dust mask) intended for asbestos contaminated areas. – Make sure that the cab door is kept closed while operating. Q The cab should be ventilated through its ventilation system, which also provides excess pressure in the cab. Q Replace filters (main filter and prefilter) every 1000 hours or more often when necessary and be careful with the new filter, so that it is not damaged. When installing, check that the filter edge forms a tight seal. Q With regard to risks to health and environment, used filters must be placed in the sealable plastic bag which is supplied together with new filters. The bag with the used filter should then be deposited at a place authorised to take care of asbestos waste.

Air conditioning (optional equipment)

155

Air conditioning (optional equipment) The air conditioning system should be inspected and tested by authorized personnel at least once every year.

Refrigerant (R134a) The pressurised system contains HFC – refrigerant R134a. It is illegal to purposely release refrigerant into the open air. Any service, refilling or emptying of the refrigerant circuit must only be carried out by a trained and accredited person. The air conditioning system of the machine is factory filled with refrigerant R134a.

WARNING! Refrigerant R134a easily causes frost-bite, if it comes into contact with bare skin. When heated, gasses are formed, which can be harmful to the lungs and nervous system even at low concentrations, when no smell is apparent. The symptoms may arise several hours (up to 24 hours) after exposure to the gas.

Suspected leakage The system is pressurised and the refrigerant can unintentionally leak out. Never disconnect hoses and never remove the filler plug from the compressor. If a leak is suspected, the system must not be topped up – leave the area where the leak has taken place and contact your authorised dealer workshop for action to be taken.

First aid measures In case of accidental contact with escaping refrigerant, take the following measures: – Refrigerant in gaseous form (e. g. by heating) can, even in low concentrations, have a damaging effect, particularly on the nervous system. At high concentrations, the gas has a narcotic effect. In both cases go outside to breath fresh air or move affected personnel from the danger area. In severe cases seek medical advice. – If large amounts of liquid refrigerant has come into contact with unprotected skin, the injured area should be carefully warmed with lukewarm water or warm clothes. Seek medical advice if there are remaining symptoms. – If liquid refrigerant comes into contact with someone's eyes, seek professional medical help immediately.

Accumulators, releasing pressure

Accumulators, releasing pressure The pressure in the accumulators for brake system, Boom Suspension System and servo system is released as shown below:

L66320A

WARNING! Even if the engine has been stopped, there is still an accumulated pressure in the system. If the system is opened, without having first released the pressure, oil under high pressure will jet out and this could cause injuries. Even retightening of leaking couplings and unions should not be done until the pressure in the system has been fully released.

Brake system 1 Stop the engine. 2 Depress the brake pedal several times (30–40 times).

Boom Suspension System (BSS) 1 If there is a need to release the pressure in the accumulators for the Boom Suspension System, please contact an authorised Volvo workshop.

Servo system 1 Stop the engine. 2 Ignition switch in position 1. 3 Move the control levers forward and backward several times.

WARNING! Discarded accumulators must not be thrown away unless they first have been taken care of by a workshop and carefully "punctured". If a pressurised accumulator is heated, there is a risk that it may explode.


Greasing

163

Greasing Bearings, greasing The service life of bushings and pivot pins can be extended considerably, if the machine is greased regularly and in the correct way. The greasing of bearings has two main purposes: – Add grease to the bearing to reduce friction between pin and bushing. – Replace old grease which may contain dirt. The grease in the space inside the outer seal collects dirt and prevents dirt and also water from penetrating into the bearing. Therefore, grease the bearing until new, clean grease is forced out through the outer seal. For recommended grease, see page 177. Wipe off grease nipples and grease gun before greasing, so that dirt and sand is not introduced through the grease nipples.

Automatic greasing system (optional equipment)

Automatic greasing system (optional equipment) Checking and adjusting greasing cycles is done with the aid of the keyboard and the display unit, see page 37.

The machine may be equipped with an automatic greasing system which automatically greases many points according to a preselected lubrication cycle. The automatic greasing system should be inspected regularly and should be co-ordinated with other regular maintenance and control. Check the following regularly: – that there is sufficient lubricant in the reservoir. Top up when required, see page 37. NOTE! Too low lubricant level constitutes a great risk of air entering the system (the most common cause of operating problems). – that the system functions. Carry out the system test on page 174. – that the lubricant reservoir is undamaged. – that the connections do not leak. – that the dust guards for quick-action couplings are installed and undamaged. – that the lubrication lines are undamaged and well secured. – that all lubrication points are lubricated (that lubricant is forced out at bearings and joints). NOTE! Remember to lubricate by hand the lubrication points which are not included in the automatic greasing system. See the ordinary lubrication chart. 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13

Automatic greasing system (optional equipment)

171

Filling lubricant Lubricant must be topped up before the level falls below the minimum marking on the reservoir. On the pump unit there is a filler connection (grease nipple) to which a hand pump or an industrial pump are connected when filling. NOTE! If and industrial pump is used, the filter between connection and pump must be cleaned regularly. A partly blocked filter can easily burst, with a consequent great risk of small particles entering the lubrication system. This may in turn lead to a breakdown in the lubrication system. Proceed as follows: 1 Carefully clean the filler connection and the coupling on the filler hose. Filler connector

2 Fill the filler hose completely full with grease before beginning to fill. This will prevent air from entering the system. 3 Remove the protective cap on the filler connection and connect the coupling to the filler connection. 4 Fill with lubricant to the maximum level on the reservoir.*) If it is hard to pump in the lubricant, either the filter behind the filler connection is blocked or there may be dirt in the filler nipple itself. Clean the filter, if required replace the nipple and try again. 5 Re-install the protective cap. 6 Keep the lubrication pump in a dust-free place, so that it will not be exposed to dirt. *) If the reservoir is filled above the maximum level, the surplus lubricant will be drained through the ventilation hole on the left side of the reservoir. Any air under the plate in the reservoir is also drained through the ventilation hole.


172

Automatic greasing system (optional equipment) Recommended lubricants The system requires that the lubricant is clean and possible to pump at the prevailing temperature. Therefore use lubricant of a recommended NLGI class. A lower NLGI class grease, may reduce the lubrication effect with increased wear as a consequence. Q

Do not mix different types of lubricants. When changing, all lubricant must be changed, not only in the reservoir.

Q

There must be no additives of graphite or Teflon in the lubricant.

Q

The use of molybdenum disulphide (MoS2) is only permissible if: – the lubricant is of a very high quality and does not contain more than 5 % MoS2. – the lubrication system is regularly checked to provide reliable operation. – the main lines are flushed through at least once a year.

Automatic greasing system (optional equipment)

173

Changing lubrication cycle If the preselected lubrication cycle does not suit the working and loading conditions to which the machine is exposed, the operator can alter the lubrication cycle. Checking and adjusting greasing cycles is done with the aid of the keyboard and the display unit, see page 37. The display unit has a menu for central lubrication (automatic greasing). When changing lubrication cycle, the ignition key must be in position 1 (running position). To be able to change the lubrication cycle again the ignition key must first be turned to the 0 position and then a new lubrication cycle can be selected. NOTE! If the ignition key is turned to position 0 within 20 seconds, the latest selected lubrication cycle will be erased. Therefore, wait for at least 20 seconds after the setting has been made, before turning the ignition key to position 0.


174

Automatic greasing system (optional equipment) System test In order to check the function of the greasing system, or to initiate an extra lubrication cycle after for example the machine has been washed, a system test can be carried out. The test button, which is used to begin a system test, is positioned at the front on the pump. A test cycle can only be carried out when the pump is between two ordinary lubrication cycles (not during an ongoing lubrication cycle). Single test lubrication cycle The pump only carries out one lubrication cycle via one main line. May be used after a wash in order to obtain an extra lubrication cycle. 1 Turn the ignition key to position 1 (running position). 2 Press in the test button for 2–6 s. 3 The lubrication cycle starts.

Test button

4 The test cycle is ended automatically. If the test lubrication cycle has been used to obtain an additional lubrication cycle after a wash, the test button should be pressed once more to lubricate the other main line. Continuous test lubrication cycle The pump carries out an unlimited number of lubrication cycles, i.e. it continuously pumps out lubricant alternately via the two main lines. This is used for bleeding the system of air. 1 Turn the ignition key to position 1 (running position). 2 Press the test button for more than 6 s. 3 The lubrication cycle starts. 4 End the test cycle by turning the ignition key to position 0. The test cycle is not ended automatically.

4 Press the test button for more than six seconds, which will initiate a continuous test cycle. 5 When lubricant, free from air, emerges from one of main lines (B), the air bleeding is completed in that main line.

D

6 Turn the ignition key to the "0" position and install plug (A). 7 Follow points 3–6 in order to bleed the other main line. 8 Test the system using the method “Single test lubrication cycle”, see previous page. L68946B

Cleaning with high-pressure wash Normally water cannot penetrate into the system. However, during a high-pressure wash the risk increases and the pump unit should be protected, as water, which has entered the system, does not disappear by itself, but could instead cause operating problems. After a high-pressure wash a “Single test lubrication cycle” should be carried out to obtain additional lubrication.

Recommended lubricants

Grease General lubrication points Volvo Super Grease Lithium EP2. Or corresponding grease on lithium base with EP additives and consistency NLGI class 2. If the machine is provided with automatic greasing system, other recommended lubricants apply.

Fuel Quality requirements: The fuel should at least meet the legal requirements, and national and international standards for marketed fuels, for example: EN590 (with nationally adapted temperature requirements), ASTM D 975 No. 1D and 2D, JIS KK 2204. Sulphur content: According to current legal requirements (the sulphur content must however not exceed 0.3 percent by weight), see also page 131. Bio-diesel fuel Vegetable oils and / or esters, also called “bio-diesel”, (e.g. rape-seed methyl ester RME fuel), which are offered on certain markets both as pure products and as mixed into the diesel fuel. Volvo CE accepts a maximum intermix of 5% bio-diesel fuel in the diesel fuel, ready mixed from the oil companies. A higher intermix than 5% of bio-diesel fuel may cause: – Increased emission by nitrogen oxide, (thereby not meeting legal requirements) – The short service life of motor and injection system – Increased fuel consumption – Altered engine output – Shortening the engine oil change interval to a half – Shortened service life of rubber materials in the fuel system – Less good cold handling properties of the fuel – Limit storage time for the fuel, which may cause clogging up of the fuel system if the machine is laid up for a longer period Warranty condition The warranty does not cover damage caused be an intermix of more than 5% of bio-diesel fuel.
