4.1 Daily Maintenance Procedures


4.1.1 Daily Maintenance Procedures - Overview
General Information
Preventative maintenance begins with day-to-day awareness of the engine
and its system. Before starting the engine, check the oil and coolant levels.
Look for:

Leaks
Loose or damaged parts
Worn or damaged belts
Any change in engine appearance.
Odor of fuel

Engine Operation Report


The engine must be maintained in top mechanical condition if the operator
is to get optimum satisfaction from its use. The maintenance department
needs daily running reports from the operator to make necessary adjustments in the time allocated. The daily running reports also helps to make
provisions for more extensive maintenance work as the reports indicate the
necessity.

Report to the maintenance department any of the following conditions:

Low lubricating oil pressure


Low power
Power increases or engine surge
Erratic or no accelerator control or response
Any warning lights flashing or staying on
Abnormal water or oil temperature
Unusual engine noise
Excessive smoke
Excessive use of coolant, fuel, or lubricating oil
Any fuel, coolant, or lubricating oil leaks
Loose or damaged parts
Worn or damaged belts

Cooling system

5.1 Checking the coolant level


Fig. 5.1/1
Put down the engine horizontally, and turn off the engine. Slowly unscrew
and remove the balance tank cover (D).
When the engine is cold, the coolant level should be at the lower end of the
filler neck (water must be always visible). If required, top up coolant mix.
Let the engine run in low idle run for 2-3 minutes, afterwards. The control
valve of the heating and ventilation system must be opened during this
running (adjust to hot). Check the coolant level once more, and add water,
if required.

Fig. 5.1/1

Note: The cooling system is filled with a long-term coolant for temperatures
up to -37C (-35F). It consists of a mixture of water, anti-freeze, and
anti-corrosion agents. The little losses by evaporation can be balanced with clean, soft water.
Be careful when opening the cover lid (D)!
Danger of burning if the machine is hot!
When the machine is hot, loosen the balance tank cover only to its first
catch, and release the overpressure. Afterwards screw off the cover lid and
take it off.
Check the overpressure and underpressure valve of the cover lid. Replace
any damaged or defective cover.
The cooling system should be checked before the beginning of the cold
season, and should have a frost resistance of up to -37C (-35F). If lower
temperatures are expected the portion of the anti-freeze has to be increased.
Note: At min. 80C (176F), the cooling system runs in the small circuit.
The thermostat opening is in an order of 88C (190F). The complete

Air filter system


Fig. 6/1 and Fig. 6/2

The air filter is a combined air filter with an integrated filterelement (1) and a safety cartridge. The rough dust is discharged through the dust discharge valve (S), almost free of
maintenance. The discharge slot of the valve must be
checked for cleanness daily. Remove possible dust accumulations; move the valve slightly for that purpose. The rubber
piece must be always well seated and lay on the bottom.
Fig. 6/1

6.1 Air filter


Fig. 6.1/1
The more the air filter insert is contaminated the higher becomes the underpressure in the suction line. If the extend of
the contamination of the air filter insert becomes so high that
the pressure drops below the permissible underpressure the
warning lamp (2) in the cabin shines, and requests for the
cleaning of the filter insert. To control the underpressure, an
underpressure switch is installed in the suction line. It is adjusted to the permissible limit of underpressure.

Fig. 6/2

The filter element has been cleaned. However, it has to be


replaced not later than after the 6th cleaning or after 2,000
operating hours, at the latest. The control light expires to start
the engine, after the cleaning of the filter element.
Notwithstanding the indication by the control lamps, the filter
insert should be checked for its state from time to time. A
damaged or deformed filter insert must be replaced immediately. The safety filter is replaced after every 3rd cleaning of
the filter insert.
The filter element must not be
cleaned!
The maintenance of the air filter shall only be carried out with
the engine switched off. The functioning of the indicator lamp
in the cabin to check the filter must be checked every day, by
operating the control switch (42). When the switch is operated, the control lamp (2) must shine.

The oil level check must be carried out as follows:

Oil level check (weekly)


At horizontally standing vehicle
Fig. 7.1/2
Transmission in Neutral position N
In the cold start phase, the engine must be running about 2 3 minutes at idling speed, and the marking on the oil
dipstick must then be lying above the cold start mark COLD MIN (see Fig. 7.1/2)
At operating temperature of the transmission (about 80 - 90C)
For diesel engine idle speed.
Loosen oil dipstick by counterclock rotation, remove and clean it
Insert oil dipstick slowly into the oil level tube until contacts is obtained, and pull it out again.
On the oil dipstick, the oil level must be lying in the zone HOT (see fig. 7.1/2)
Insert the oil dipstick again, and tighten it by clockwise rotation.

If the oil level has dropped in operating temperature condition below the HOT Zone, it is absolutely necessary to replenish
oil according to approved oil grades (refer to item 21). An oil level above the HOT marking, is leading to a too high oil
temperature.

Maintenance instructions

Oil change
Oil change and filter replacement interval:
First oil change after 100 operating hours in application.
Every further oil change after 1000 operating hours in application, however at least once a year!
At every oil change, the Fine filter (pressure filter) has to be replaced.
The oil change must be carried out as follows:
Park the vehicle at a horizontal position, and open the oil drain plug to drain used oil while the gearbox is still at operating
temperature (approx. 50C). Unscrew the closing screw at the cooler top side to allow the cooler to drain.
Clean the oil drain plug with magnetic insert and the sealing surface on the housing, and install it along with new O-ring
again.
Fill in oil (about 44 litres). The indicated value is a guide value. Binding is in any case the marking on the oil dipstick!
Start the engine - idling speed
Transmission in Neutral position N
Top up oil up to the marking COLD - MIN
Brake the vehicle, and allow the gearbox to heat up. Turn off the all-wheel drive (front axle), press the foot brake (decelerate the vehicle), and change into 6th gear.
When operating temperature is reached (50C), change to all gears.
When operating temperature is reached (50C), change to all gears.
On the oil dipstick, the oil level must be lying in the Zone HOT
Insert the oil dipstick again and tighten it by clockwise rotation
At the initial filling of the transmission has to be considered that the oil cooler, the pressure filter as well as the pipes must
get filled with oil. According to these cavities, the oil capacity to be filled in is greater than at the later oil fillings in the
course of the usual maintenance service.
It is imperative to pay attention to absolute cleanliness of oil and filter.
Use approved oil grades only!
At every oil change it will recommend, to start the automatic calibration of the shifting elements (AEB).

Filter replacement
At the replacement of the filter in the main oil stream, pay attention that no dirt or oil sludge can penetrate into the circuit.
Besides, the parking brake has to be covered, resp. protected from oil wetting.
At the mounting of the filter, any exertion of force has to be avoided.
The filter pressure regulating valve (bypass valve) has a filter plugging switch warning the driver when the fine filter is
clogged. The fine filter must be replaced when the error code (BA) lights up in the display.
Replace the filter cartridge with every oil change.
The mounting of the filter must be carried out as follows:
Do not top up the filter
Cover the gasket with a small amount of oil.
Screw the filter in until contact with the sealing surface is obtained and tighten it now by hand about 1/3 to turn.

Maintenance instructions

Handling the filter


Handle the filter with care when mounting, transporting or
storing it. Defective filters must not be used!

Oil temperature
Fig. 7.1/3
The oil temperature in the gearbox sump is monitored by a
temperature sensor in the electrohydraulic controller. An
operating temperature of between 60 and 90C (140 - 194
F) must not be exceeded in the sump. The gearbox oil
temperature icon will light up on the display (D) whenever an
excessive gearbox temperature is reached (see chapter
1.4.6). A higher temperature will not be reached unless a
fault occurs in the machine, or unless the machine is driven
in an inexpert manner.
Fig. 7.1/3
Whenever an error is displayed (see chapter 1.4), stop the
vehicle, check for any outside oil loss, and have the engine
run at a rotational speed of 1200 - 1500 rpm at the neutral
gear position.
Then, the temperature should fall quickly to normal values
(within 2 or 3 minutes, approximately). If a normal
temperature is not reached, there is a fault which needs to be
corrected before operations can be resumed.

Battery
Fig. 8/1

Please also observe section 18 on the "Electric System".


The batteries are located at the rear part of the frame, to the left and
right of the frame knuckle joint. There is easy access to the batteries
after the fixing nuts of the protective hood have been loosened and
the hood has been removed.
The batteries are maintenance-free acc. to DIN 43539-5.
Keep batteries clean and dry. Lubricate the clamp terminals with
acid-free grease.

Checking of the acid level


Clean the batteries so that no dirt can reach into the cells after the
plugs have been opened.
The level of the acid shall be at the acid-level mark or 15 mm (0.6
in.) above the upper edge of the plates.

Checking of the charging state


A fully charged battery has a density of 1.28 kg/l (10.68 lb/USgal) at
20C (68F), in tropical regions 1.23 kg/l (10.26 lb/USgal) with pure
sulphuric acid for accumulators (acc. to VDE 0510). An insufficient
charging state of the batteries requires a re-charging, as they do not
ensure the starting of the engine, and can freeze at strong frost. The
seating of the pole terminals must be straight, and they have to be
coated with pole grease.
Caution:
Acid! Danger of burning! Danger of explosion! Do not use a naked flame, generate
sparks or smoke in the near of it!
Do not place conducting items (tools) on
the batteries.

Wheel bearings
The grease level in the grease compartment of the wheel bearing must be checked after the number of operating hours
shown in the maintenance plan, but in any case at least every two years. The covers must be unscrewed to do this. The
grease compartment must be about 2/3 full with grease. The grease must be topped up as and when necessary.
When checking the grease fill in the wheel bearings, you should also check the wheel bearing clearance (tapered roller
bearing), and readjust this clearance as follows. Tighten the tapered roller bearings with the slotted round nut against one
another until no further rotation by hand is possible. Turn back the slotted round nut until the hub can be rotated freely
(approx. 1/12 turn), and lock using a tab washer. Lock using both the 2nd slotted round nut and Loctite 648. Check whether
the hub runs without stoppage and without tilting clearance.
The wheel bearing must be readjusted when the front axle is lifted, i.e. when the wheels do not touch the ground.

11.1 Parking brake


The parking brake is maintenance-free. It has to be checked for the wear
of the brake lining in accordance with the maintenance and inspection
schedule. The brake needs to be adjusted when the air gap is greater
than 1.5 mm. Replace the brake lining if no further adjustment is possible.

11.2 Bleeding the brake

Start bleeding at the left rear brake of the tandem axle. Continue with the
right rear brake, then the left front brake and finally the right front brake.
Push a tube onto the nipple (N) beside the pipe connection and dip the
tube into a container which is filled to half its capacity with hydraulic oil
(see the consumable and lubricant table). Unscrew the breather plug,
actuate the brake pedal and hold it in this position until the plug has
been screwed in again.
Continue the process until no air bubbles can be seen any more in the
container. Two persons are required to bleed the brake.
Attention!
The braking system is a high-pressure system!

Fig. 11.2/1

11.3 Servicing the wheel brake


The wet multidisk brakes installed in the wheel hubs are almost free of
wear, and require no maintenance apart from the checking of the different wheel brakes.
However you should take the following facts into due consideration:
1. If the checking of the oil level at the wheel hub indicates a possibly
rising oil level, this is caused by a leak of the hydraulically operated
multidisk brake.
2. Unusual sounds in the wheel hubs during braking indicate possibly
damaged brake disks.
In these cases, consult the after-sales service facilities.
Fig. 11.3/1
Checking and replacing the multiple brake disks
Fig. 11.3/1
Press the brake pedal so that the brake is closed. Screw of the control
screw (K), and check the thickness of the lining disks by a 4 mm (0.16
in.) thick gauge.
With the brake pressed, slide the gauge between the external disks (1).
If the gauge does not fit between them, the internal disks are thinner
than 4 mm (0.16 in.) and have to be replaced. The disk thickness shall
not fall below 3.3 mm (0.132 in.).

11.4 Notes on vehicle relocation or emergency towing


Fig. 11.4/1 and Fig. 11.4/2

Fig. 11.3/1

The parking brake is prestressed (closed) using spring force.


If the vehicle cannot build up the pressure needed for lifting the parking
brake hydraulically (e.g., when the engine is stopped), mechanical
emergency lifting will need to be activated as follows before relocating or
towing the vehicle:
Loosen the check nut of the readjusting screws (Fig. 11.4/1), and turn in
the hexagon bolts evenly until the prestressing force on the disc spring is
eliminated or the disc package is lifted.
Note: Set both hexagon bolts evenly to prevent the brake piston from
tilting.
Important!
The discs of the parking brake MUST be
replaced whenever the disc brake has been
activated for braking in an emergency (e.g., due
to a failure in the vehicle's hydraulic system).

Fig. 11.4/1

The parking brake's functional capability needs to


be restored after relocating the vehicle or after
completing a repair. To do so, turn back both
hexagon bolts (Fig. 11.4/1) evenly to their home
position again, and lock them using hexagonal
nuts.
Set the assembly dimension Z = 31+1.0 mm (fig. 11.4/2) at both
readjusting screws.
Tightening torque: M 10x1 .MA= 32 Nm
Caution!
For maximum towing speed and admissible

12.3 Readjusting the blade guide


Fig. 12.3/1
The blade is guided by guide supports (1) using top (2) and bottom (3)
holders. Wear plates (4) are located in the holders. Replace them if they
are worn out.

Fig. 12.2/1

Horizontal readjustment of the moldboard guide


Unscrew the locking screws (5) and the check nuts of the adjusting
screws (6). Use the adjusting screws (6) to pull back the fastening (2,
3), and minimize the clearance (approx. 1 mm) until the blade slides
without jamming. Tighten the locking screws (5), and lock the adjusting
screw (6).

Vertical readjustment of the moldboard guide


Use shims B1 to B4 in the fastenings (2, 3) to compensate any vertical
clearance.
Proceed as follows to compensate the vertical clearance:
If readjustment is required, remove the number of shims B1 to B4 from
the top fastenings as required to compensate the backlash. Place the
shims in the fastenings at the top, and secure them with the locking
screws (5).

Fig. 12.2/2

Do not throw away the shims. They will be


needed for further readjustments.
If all shims are used up, the wear angles (4 - Fig. 12.3/1) must be replaced.
Note: Wear plates will not be worn out evenly because the fastenings
are subjected to different loads. To achieve roughly equal wear,
measure wear plate thickness after every third readjustment, and
change the wear plates, placing thicker wear plates in the holders
of thinner wear plates.
Before replacing wear plates, support the blade on a piece of
squared timber in order to relieve the load from the guide.

top side slides against set-on slide segments (G) of the draw beam. The
pads (P) can be adjusted both horizontally and vertically.

Horizontal readjustment, circle centring


Loosen the lock nut (3) of the adjusting screw (1). Slacken the holding
screw (4). Use screw 1 to shift the claw (P) toward the outer diameter until
there is an air gap of 1.5 mm at the contact point.
In the readjustment process, it is advisable to clamp sheet metal strips
(thickness: 1.5 mm, i.e. like the air gap; 2 strips are needed for each claw)
as spacers between the circle and claw.
When all claws are adjusted, tighten the holding screws (4). Then tighten
the adjusting screws (1) and lock them with the nuts (3).
Remove the spacers.

Fig. 12.4/1

The distance of the claw from the circle diameter


shall be equal around the entire circumference, i.e.
the claw must not be canted.
Check the backlash between the slewing gear
pinion (Fig. 12.4/3) and the slewing ring teeth (D),
and adjust to an air gap of 1 mm if required after
every horizontal or vertical slewing ring adjustment.

Fig. 12.4/2

Vertical readjustment of the circle


The vertical readjustment of the circle should always be followed by a horizontal readjustment. Put the moldboard on the ground. Loosen the adjusting screw (1) and the holding screws (4) of the first claw (P). Take out
spacer 2. Screw-fasten the claw again. Proceed in the same way with the
other claws. Then adjust the circle horizontally as described above.
Note: Adjust the circle when the drawbar is in horizontal position. Clean the
sliding faces before adjustment. Regrease the sliding faces after the
readjustment and make a test run. With the drawbar in horizontal position and correct adjustment, the hydraulic pressure required to turn
the circle is approx. 6 MPa (870 psi).

plug (A) having a self-closing valve so that no oil leaks into the environment. Screw on the oil drain hose. Collect the drained oil in a container
(analogous procedure as for the exchange of engine oil with the same facility).
Close the drain facilities after the drainage of the oil again.
Fill in oil according to chapters 13.1 and 13.2.
Start the engine. Carry out all cylinder movements. Check the oil level once
more, and refill if required (sections 13. and 13.2).

the filter element must be urgently
replaced.

Fig. 13.4/1
Disassemble and replace the filter element (6) as follows:
1. Unscrew the filter bowl (5) from the filter head (2). Use a
spanner with 30 mm width across flats, and apply it to the
hexagon at the bowl bottom. To unscrew, turn counterclockwise (as seen from below). It is important to ensure
that not load is applied to the bowl from the sides during
unscrewing.
2. Remove and dispose of the filter element (6). The filter
element cannot be cleaned.
3. Inspect filter head (2) and bypass valve (3) for any possible damage or malfunction. Replace any damaged parts.
Clean any accumulated dirt, and make certain that no dirt
reaches the filter's clean side through the outlet. Do not
start the system unless a filter element is installed.
Inspect the O-ring (4) in the filter bowl (5) for damages.
Use a filter element (6) with a designation as indicated on
the type plate.
4. Wetten the O-ring (4) in the element using clean system
fluid, slide the element (6) with the open end straight onto
the nipple in the filter head (2).
Apply a slight amount of clean system fluid to wetten the
filter bowl (5) thread, and use a torque spanner to tighten
the bowl to a torque of 100 Nm at the hexagon.
Do not overtighten the bowl as this will not improve the
rings sealing effect.

17 Changing the tyres


The wheels must be removed from the machine in order to change the tyres. To do this, the machine must be raised so
that the relevant wheel is clear of the ground. Loosen the wheel nuts one or two turns before lifting the grader. The grader
can be lifted on one side with the aid of the hydraulics.
To change the rear wheels, set the tip of the blade down on the ground in front of the rear wheel on the side to be lifted,
and lift the grader up with the lifting cylinder until the wheels are clear of the ground. The front wheels can be raised with
the levelling blade or with the blade, the end of which is then placed on the ground behind the front wheel that is to be
raised.
Never have the machine supported by the hydraulic system during the replacement of tyres. Support the machine by solid backings.
Unscrew the wheel nuts in crosswise order, and lift off the wheel.
Take care not to damage the threads of the wheel bolts when removing or changing the wheels.

Discharge the air from the tyre completely. Only after the air has been discharged completely the tyre may be disassembled. The tyres have to be levered out of the rim well.

Tyres should only be replaced in workshops specifically equipped for this purpose.

After the tyre has been attached to the rim pump in air to the prescribed pressure.

Tightening torque for wheel nuts: 550 Nm.
Tighten the wheel nuts in crosswise order.
Check the wheel nut for their straight seat after 5 operating hours, and retighten them if required.
Afterwards do this in compliance with the "Maintenance and inspection schedule", chapter 25.
The retightening is necessary as the bolts and nuts need some time for setting.
Use a torque wrench to tighten, check, and retighten wheel nuts. The tightening torque applies to
metallic-bright threads (black or phosphated). The thread must not be oiled.
At tyres with arrow-shaped profile, the arrows should point into forward drive direction. This does not apply to front wheels
at front axles which are not driven, there the arrows should point into the opposite direction.

Maintenance instructions

17.1 Tyre Ballast (Option)


As extra ballast to increase the available tractive force, the interior volume of the tyre can be half-filled with an anti-freeze
solution with a density of 1.19 kg/dm3 (-30C). To do this, use the tyre inflating equipment supplied in the on-board accessory set. To check the 50 % level, the wheel must first be turned so that the valve is at either the 3 o'clock or 9 o'clock
position. Pumping up the air pressure in the tyre may only be done with the valve in the 12 o'clock position.
Recommendation: Topping up or disposing of the anti-freeze solution should be done by a tyre company.

Maintenance instructions

21 Diesel fuels
The engine will generate the specified power and show the required running properties only if high-quality fuel is used. The
fuel recommended to be used with Perkins engines shall have the following characteristics:
Cetane number min. 45
Viscosity 2.5/4.5 cSt at 40C (104F)
Density 0.835 to 0.855 kg/l
Sulphur content max. 0.5 %
Boiling point curve 85 % at 350

Cetane number
This number determines the ignition performance.
A low-Cetane fuel may cause starting problems and affect combustion.
Viscosity
Viscosity is the flowability of the fuel and can affect - if outside the specified range - the running properties of the engine.
Density
A low density will reduce the engine power, a high density increases the engine power and exhaust gas turbidity.
Sulphur
A high sulphur content (normally not found in Europe, North America and Australasia) may result in increased engine wear.
Where only fuel with a high sulphur content is available, either a high-grade oil must be used or the oil must be changed
frequently.
Boiling point curve
Refers to the mixture of different hydrocarbons in the fuel. A high ratio can have an influence on the combustion characteristics.

The frost resistance of diesel fuels is an important prerequisite for trouble-free operation in winter. When the temperatures
drop to a point where paraffin precipitates in the diesel fuel, the filterability and flowability are hampered; the fuel filter and
fuel lines are clogged.
The European mineral oil industry offers a diesel fuel for summer operation and one for winter operation (both in compliance with DIN 51 601).

In general, winter diesel fuels are frost resistant to a temperature of -20C (-4 F). If frost occurs in transient periods or the
winter temperatures are below -20 C (-4 F), special diesel fuels with an improved frost resistance have to be used (see
table above).

21

22

Maintenance instructions

22 Long-term coolants
The cooling system is factory-filled with a long-term coolant which is a mixture of water, antifreeze and anti-corrosive
agents. For moderate climate territories, its frost resistance is set at -37C (-35 F).
A tag on the radiator informs on the use of an antifreeze. For corrosion protection reasons and to prevent furring, the cooling system should have an antifreeze content of 50 % vol. (corresponds to a frost resistance to -37C (-35F) also in summer.
Change the coolant every 2 years. Check its condition once a year.
Antifreeze and anti-corrosive agents of renowned international mineral oil producers, e.g. ESSO, SHELL, BP, MOBIL,
TEXACO, DEA, AGIB and ARAL, are permitted to be used.
The coolant quality has a great influence on the effectiveness and service life of the cooling system. The below-mentioned
recommendations contribute to the protection of the cooling system against frost and corrosion.
If the required measures are not taken, the manufacturer cannot be held responsible for damage caused by frost or corrosion.
Use clean, soft water for the cooling system.
When replacing coolant, make certain that you are using coolant made on an ethylene glycol basis with an anti-corrosion
agent.
The anti-corrosive agent you use should be based on nitric or benzoic sodium.
The mixture should ensure sufficient cooling at all ambient temperatures and protect against corrosion. It must meet the
following standards:
UK:

BS.6580:1985: Specification for corrosion inhibiting engineering concentrate (antifreeze).

USA:

ASTM D3306-74: Ethylene glycol based engine coolant.

Australia: AS 2108-1977: Antifreeze compounds and corrosion inhibitors for engine cooling systems.

Antifreeze mixtures which may be required but deviate from those filled in by the manufacturer can be taken from the following table.
Frost resistance to

45 Vol. %
50 Vol. % (factory-filled)
55 Vol. %

( -4F)
(-13F)
(-23F)
(-36F)
(-50F)

In any case, the mixture ratio given by the antifreeze producer is binding.
The coolant should be an antifreeze mixture consisting of 50% water and 50% antifreeze agent. Avoid a higher percentage
of antifreeze as this would affect the cooling capacity.
Caution!
Over concentration of antifreeze or use of high silicate antifreeze can cause damage to the engine.
Even if there is no danger of frost, an antifreeze is recommended to be used because it provides corrosion protection and
improves the cooling capacity.

22

22

Maintenance instructions

In tropical regions where the air temperature lies above +35 C (95 F), the low thermal conductivity of the long-term coolant may lead to an overheating of the engine. In this case, use water instead of the long-term coolant, and add a corrosion
inhibitor to the water to prevent corrosion and furring. Use the mixture ratio specified by the maker.
Change the water/corrosion inhibitor mixture every 6 months; in case of doubt, ask the supplier.
Add the antifreeze and/or corrosion inhibitor to a bucket-full of water (tap water) and mix. It is not sufficient just to pour the
water and antifreeze successively into the radiator as thorough mixing in the cooling system would take too much time.
The cooling system features only little evaporation losses. The losses can be compensated by adding clean water with a
low lime content.
Do not fill in too much coolant because it might overflow when it heats up. Moreover, if water is added too often, the concentrate would be impermissibly diluted (see Section Changing the coolant in these instructions).
In emergency cases, also normal clean water may serve as coolant. However, it should be replaced as soon as possible
with the required long-term coolant.
Check the latter for frost resistance before the cold season.

22

23

Maintenance instructions

23 Winter operation
So as to ensure that the machine can be operated without any problems also in winter, a few precautionary measures must
be taken before the cold season begins.
Cooling system

The cooling system must be sufficiently resistant to the low temperatures occurring in your
region. If necessary, add antifreeze or replace the coolant with a frost-resistant coolant. Check
the coolant regulator and the radiator cap valves for proper functioning.

Oil

Use an oil grade that is suitable for operation at the low temperatures occurring in your region
and has the required viscosity (see Lubricants, consumables, quantities).

Fuel

Use diesel fuel for winter service. At low temperatures, paraffin may precipitate and clog the
filters and fuel lines (see Diesel fuels).

Injection system, batteries, starter, alternator

Proper condition of the injection system, starter, batteries and alternator ensure easy starting
and trouble-free operation of the engine also at very low temperatures. Have these important
components checked by an authorized workshop before the cold season begins.

Compression

Insufficient compression pressure affects the starting behaviour of the engine, in particular
pressure at low temperatures. Measure the pressure.

Starter in case of very


low temperatures

Actuate the starter for not longer than 30 s. If the engine does not start, wait 30 s and try again.

Engine warm-up

Before using the machine, let the engine idle for a few minutes at increased speed. During
warm-up, actuate the unloaded hydraulic equipment several times.

Cutting the engine off


after working

In order to prevent components from sticking due to the cold, knock off any soil sticking them
to after work, especially from the chassis.

Windscreen washer

Add conventional antifreeze to the water. If antifreeze is not available, add 25 % vol. alcohol
(spirit) to the water.

Service brake

Do not pull the parking brake at shift end. Rather, lay wedges to the wheels.

Maintenance instructions

24 Shutting the machine down for a longer period


1. Drain the engine oil when it is still warm and fill up with the following slushing oil:
a) Engines which are not supercharged (aspirating engines)
- Slushing oil for piston engines, MIL-L 21 260, type 1 or type 2
- SAE class 10 W for preservation in winter
- SAE class 30 for preservation in summer
b) Supercharged engines
- Slushing oil for piston engines, MIL-L 21 260, type 2
- SAE class 10 W for preservation in winter
- SAE class 30 for preservation in summer
2. Add 4 to 6 % of the same slushing oil to the diesel fuel and mix thoroughly. To reduce the formation of condensation
water, fill the fuel tank to the top.
3. Check the long-term coolant for frost resistance; add a sufficient amount of anti freeze, if necessary. If there is no antifreeze in the cooling system for climatic reasons, add an increased amount (5 % vol.) of corrosion inhibitor (see Longterm coolant).
4. Start the engine and let it idle for at least 15 minutes at various speeds. If gear or hydraulic oil is changed before shutdown, let the units concerned run for a while (till they are at operating temperature) in order to preserve them with the
fresh oil.
5. Close the air intake of the air cleaner system and the exhaust pipe. Recommended is the use of sturdy plastic caps
which cannot be sucked in.
6. Remove the starter battery and store it - filled and charged - in a dry room free from frost also in winter. Recharge the
batteries at intervals of about one month. Follow the instructions of the battery manufacturer.
7. Protect the machine against moisture and dirt.
8. Apply a thick film of grease to all sliding faces (circle, moldboard) and lubricate all nipples, in particular the swivel system on the frame.
9. If the ground is uneven, and if it will be a long period of standstill, place the machine on trestles, reduce the air pressure
in the tyres to approx. 50 %. Cover the tyres against sun radiation.
10. Fill the tank (with an admixture of anti-corrosion oil at a quantity of 10 % of the filling).
Depending on the climatic conditions, machines preserved in this way can be laid up for a maximum of one year. After a
quarter of a year, however, all units should be activated and idle for approx. 15 minutes, and all nipples should be greased.
When the machine must be moved during the shutdown period, e.g. when it is intended to be brought to another place, the
engine must not run for more than a total of 10 hours with the slushing oil. Make an oil change if this time is exceeded.
The machine must not be operated under load during the shutdown period.
When putting the machine into operation again, take all measures and make all tests required to ensure proper operation.
After a shutdown period of one year, also the gear and hydraulic oil must be changed.
