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 adjust-
ments 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

Unusual Engine Noise


Fig. 4.1.1/1
During daily maintenance checks, listen for any unusual engine noise that
can indicate that service is required.

Inspect the breather tube for sludge, debris, or ice in the tube.
The tube must be free.
Inspect the tube more frequently in icy conditions.
The line must be laid freely, and must not be kinked.

4.1.3 Fuel-Water Separator Fig. 4.1.2/1


Drain
Warning!
Drain the water-fuel separator into a container and
dispose of in accordance with local environmental
regulations.

Drain the water and sediment from the separator daily.

Spin-on Type
Fig. 4.1.3/1
Shut off the engine.
Use your hand to open the drain valve. Turn the valve counterclockwise
approximately 3½ turns until the valve drops down 25,4mm [1in] and drain-
ing occurs.
Drain fluid from the filter bottom part until you see clear fuel flowing out.

Caution!
When closing the drain valve, do not overtighten the
valve. Overtightening can damage the threads. Fig. 4.1.3/1

To close the valve, lift the valve and turn clockwise until it is hand-tight.

4.1.4 Lubricating Oil Level


Fig. 4.1.4/1
Maintenance Check
Caution!
Never operate the engine with oil level below the L
(low) mark or above the H (high) mark. Poor engine
performance or engine damage can occur.

The engine must be level when checking the oil level to make sure the
measurement is correct.
Shut off the engine for an accurate reading.
Wait at least 15 minutes after shutting off the engine to check the oil level.
This allows time for the oil to drain into the oil pan. Fig. 4.1.4/1
For further recommendations on lubricating oil, see the maintenance speci-
fications (chapter 20).

Warning!
Do not remove a pressure cap from a hot engine.
Wait until the coolant temperature is below 50 °C
(122 °F) before removing the pressure cap. Heated
coolant spray or steam can cause personal injury.

Caution! Fig. 4.1.5/1


Never use a sealing additive to stop leaks in the
cooling system. This can result in cooling system
plugging and inadequate coolant flow, causing the
engine to overheat.

The coolant level must be checked daily.

Caution!
Do not add cold coolant to a hot engine. Engine
castings can be damaged. Allow the engine to cool
to below 50 °C (122 °F) before adding coolant. Fig. 4.1.5/2

Make up coolant added to the engine must be mixed with the correct pro-
portions of antifreeze, supplemental coolant additive, and water to avoid
engine damage.

Coolant recommendations and specification details on correct mixing of


coolant can be found in Maintenance Specifications (Section 22).

Fill the cooling system with coolant to the bottom of the fill neck in the radia-
tor fill or expansion tank.

5 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, Fig. 5.1/1
if required.

Note: The cooling system is filled with a long-term coolant for temperatures
up to -37 °C (-35 °F). 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 -37 °C (-35 °F). If lower
temperatures are expected the portion of the anti-freeze has to be in-
creased.

Note: At min. 80 °C (176 °F), the cooling system runs in the small circuit.
The thermostat opening is in an order of 88°C (190°F). The complete
opening is reached at 96 °C (205 °F). The heating system is con-
nected to the small circuit.

5.2 External cleaning of the cooler


Fig. 5.2/1

Open the rear grid designed as a door.


The cooler contaminated on its outside can be cleaned by a water jet or by
compressed air.
The water or are should be sprayed or blown against the blow direction of
the fan through the cooler.

Note: The cleaning with water can only be carried out when the engine has
cooled down. Do not spray against the insulation material.

Fig. 6/1 and Fig. 6/2

The air filter is a combined air filter with an integrated filter-element (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.

6.1 Air filter


Fig. 6.1/1

The more the air filter insert is contaminated the higher becomes the under-
pressure 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 un- Fig. 6/1
derpressure 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.

The filter element has be 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 ele-
ment.

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! Fig. 6/2

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.

6.1.1 Replacement, removal and insertion of the filter insert


Fig. 6/1 and Fig. 6/2

The air filter is opened by a locking system (toggle fasteners A). Remove
the air filter casing component after opening the toggle fasteners.
The filter element (1) and safety cartridge (2) can now be removed, and
cleaned or exchanged.
Check the seal and its seating face in the filter casing. Fig. 6.1/1

The dry cleaning can be carried out with compressed air up to a maximum
pressure of 6 bar (87 Psi).

For this, the air nozzle is moved up and down at a minimum distance of
approx. 3 cm (1.2 in.) from the paper.
Fig. 6/6
The cleaning is made from the inside to the outside.

The cleaning is finished as soon as no dust is discharged any more.

CAUTION! Do not clean the filter insert by hitting it.

6.1.3 Checking the filter insert


Fig. 6/7

The filter paper is checked by a glow bulb which is inserted into the filter
insert. The smallest damage can be seen by a light beam.
If the filter paper or the gasket are damaged the filter insert has to be re-
placed by a new one.
Fig. 6/7

6.1.4 Replacement of the safety cartridge


Fig. 6/8

The safety cartridge is replaced after every 3rd cleaning of the filter insert.

The safety cartridge must not be cleaned!

Note: The filter has to be replaced with the engine being switch off only! A Fig. 6/8
contaminated safety filter indicates a damaged filter insert.

Check the new safety filter (1) for damages by using a lamp.
Check the gasket (2) of the safety filter and its contact surface in the filter
casing.
The installation is carried in reciprocal order.

For all activities at the gears, urgently comply with the prescribed safety regulations acc. to § 6 of
the Regulation on the Prevention of Accidents at Propulsion Units.
For example, the machine must be secured by wedges against rolling away, and articulated vehi-
cles additionally against unintended turning (frame lockage).

At the following operations, the ignition must be switched off and the control unit plug must be pulled off from Electronics:
At any kind of electrical operations on the vehicle.
At welding operations on the vehicle.

Checking the oil level

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 – 90 °C (176 – 194 °F))
• 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 replen-
ish 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 7

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 operat-
ing temperature (approx. 50 °C (122 °F). 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 34 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 (de-
celerate the vehicle), and change into 6th gear.
• When operating temperature is reached (50 °C (122 °F)), 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 ½ turn.

Handling the filter


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

Maintenance instructions 7

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 be-
tween 60 and 90 °C (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.

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.
Fig. 7.1/3

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.

8 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
Fig. 8/1
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.
Use distilled water for topping up. Do not use so-called improving agents.

Checking of the charging state


A fully charged battery has a density of 1.28 kg/l (10.68 lb/USgal) at 20 °C
(68 °F), 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 batter-
ies.

Be sure to set the master switch to "Off" before start-


ing any welding work.

Pull off the plug from the microcontroller (front axle) and from the power
shift transmission control unit.
The plugs are located in the dashboard inside the driver's cab.

Pull off all contacts from the generator. During reinstallation, be sure to use
the correct connection sequence.

9.2 Oil change at the rear axle


Always change the oil while it is warm. To do so, park the machine at a
horizontal position. Do not allow any oil to drain into the soil. Always use
containers to catch all oil. Replace the drain plug seal rings for every oil
change.

Oil entering the soil will destroy human habitat.

the drain plug (A), and fill in oil. Check the oil level, and close the oil plug.

Greasing the ball slewing ring


Fig. 9/5 and Fig. 9/6

Reminder: The ball slewing ring has 2 separate chambers for lubrication.
Chamber 1 is a ball track, and chamber 2 is the antechamber
with a protective grease fill.

The ball track (chamber 1) is already filled with grease. This is a so called Fig. 9.2/1
"lifetime" grease fill, and does not need to be refilled.
The antechamber (chamber 2) must be regreased periodically using stan-
dard grease.
• Clean the areas around grease fitting (n° 90) and discharge screws (n° 92)
4x per ball slewing ring, and remove the black closing plugs.
• Open the closing screw n° II, and fill in grease through grease fitting (I)
using a hand grease gun until grease comes out by about an inch at the
closing screw (II).
• Then open the closing screw (IV), and fill in grease through grease fitting
(III) using a hand grease gun until grease comes out by about an inch at
the closing screw (IV).
• Close the opening again with closing screw and closing plug.

Close oil plug (E) and checking screw (K) (use a torque of 45+5 Nm).

Clean the area around the closing screws before


unscrewing these screws.

9.4 Drive shafts

The drive unit must be in its rest position before working on the drive
shaft(s). Stop the engine, block the grader to prevent it from rolling away, Fig. 9/3
and prevent any restart of the drive unit by unauthorized third persons.

Lubricate the joints as per lubrication chart during both installation and ser-
vicing. Relubrication is sufficient when fresh grease is flowing out at the
gaskets.
Use only lithium soap grease of consistency grade 2 without MoS2 additives
for relubricating the drive shafts.

The sliding sections should only be greased during installation. No further


lubrication is needed after this.
Do not relubricate the sliding section unless the sliding section is pushed
together!
Fig. 9/9

Clean every grease fitting before greasing, and apply grease slowly using a
grease gun.

When greasing, check the tight fit of screws and connecting flanges.

The following points are to be greased at the intervals shown in the maintenance plan:
King pins (1) - 4 lubrication points
Axle (2) - 2 lubrication points
Tipping cylinder (3) - 2 lubrication points
Axles (4) - 4 lubrication points

Clean the lubricating nipple thoroughly before regreasing.

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.

The complete brake valve will need to be changed when a fault occurs in the brake system.
The repair or modification of braking valves by unauthorised personnel is not permitted.
Irrespective of the brake pressure, priority is given to a pressure setting which achieves the specified deceleration rate of
at least 5m/s².

Caution!
Maintenance and repair activities at the braking system shall be carried out by a specialist only, the
safety regulations must be complied with.
The tanks of the braking system are exposed to high pressure.
Before lines are disconnected or before any other work at the hydraulic brake, the pressure in the
pedal braking system must be reduced by pressing the brake pedal for 15 times, at least, with the
engine turned off.

Maintenance instructions 11

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 main-
tenance 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.

11.1.1 Clearance adjusting


Fig. 11.1.1/1

1. Insert a setting gauge on both sides between the brake lining carrier and brake disc and hold them in position.

Note! The thickness of the setting gauge must be adjusted to the desired air gap.

2. Turn the adjusting screw (2) in a clockwise direction until the two setting gauges are clamped between the brake lining
carriers and the brake disc.

3. Hold the adjusting screw (2) in position and lock using the locknut (1).

Caution!
The application pressure for clamping the setting gauges must be selected so that both gauges can
be removed using a small amount of force after locking in position.

4. Release the locknut (4) and then turn the setting screw (3) in a clockwise direction until the end surface of the setting
screw (3) is in contact with the surface provided for setting.

5. Hold the setting screw (3) in position and lock using the locknut (4).

6. Remove the setting gauges from both sides of the brake disc.
Note! The fitting procedure for the brake and the setting of the desired air gap is now complete. The brake is ready for
use.

7. Turn the screw cap (5) in a clockwise direction and tighten hand-tight.

Note! The brake should be actuated and released several times to check that it is functioning properly.

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

Maintenance instructions 11

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 hy-
draulically 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.

Check wear on multi-plates


Fig. 11.3/1

• Turn the wheel hub so that the aperture of the residual oil drain plug (52) comes to a standstill in the top half (above the
oil level)
• Bring the multi-plate block into the braked state and check in the braked position.
• Remove the residual oil drain plug (52).
• Measure from the flat surface for the seal of the screw-plug (52 to the test lug of the third outer multi-plate with the
caliper gauge. (Specified dimensions for new multi-plates 45,7 ± 0.55 mm)
(Intervention dimensions for worn multi-plates 43 - 0.5 mm)

The replacement of multiple braking disks shall be carried out by authorised personnel.
De-airing the braking system afterwards, and carry out braking tests.

Check multi-plate wear:

11.4 Emergency release of the parking brake


Fig. 11.4/1

In the event of a failure in pressure supply the parking brake can be released mechanically in the following way:

1. Secure the vehicle against rolling away.


2. Rotate the screw cap in a counter-clockwise direction and unscrew it.
3. Release the locknut (1) and unscrew it back to the end of the setting screw (2).
4. Rotate the setting screw (2) in a clockwise direction until the brake disc is completely free.

For emergency release a torque of min. 70 Nm is required on the setting screw (2)!

5. Screw on the locknut (1) up to contact with the piston and apply a slight locking force to the setting screw (2).
6. Screw on the screw cap in a clockwise direction by a few threads. (dirt ingress protection)

In this condition the vehicle has no parking brake facility and thus must be protected from rolling
away by different means. The brake must be adjusted before re-commissioning.

Apply lubricating grease to the sliding surfaces at the slewing ring top
and bottom sides, to the ring's gear teeth, and to the blade guide rails.
Clean the sliding surface before greasing.

Basically, you should grease the front of the


crowd management, environmental conditions
must be observed!
For example, when using the grader on a sandy
bottom, the grease is not recommended.

Fig. 12.2/1
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.

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 Fig. 12.2/2


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).

Do not throw away the shims. They will be


needed for further readjustments.

If all shims are used up, the wear angles (4 - Figure 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 Fig. 12.3/1
change the wear plates, placing thicker wear plates in the hold-
ers 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.

12.4 Slewing ring readjustment (guided in babbitt bearings)


Fig. 12.4/1 to Fig. 12.4/3

The slewing ring (D) bottom side slides on 4 pads (P), and the slewing
ring 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 claw (P) toward the external diameter
until the air gap to the contact point lies between 0.5 and about 1.5 mm.
In the readjustment process, it is advisable to clamp sheet metal strips Fig. 12.4/1
(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.

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 that the teeth mesh easily round the


complete circumference.
The teeth of the pinion must not touch the
Fig. 12.4/2
bottom part of the slewing rim (H).

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 af-
ter the readjustment and make a test run. With the drawbar in Fig. 12.4/3
horizontal position and correct adjustment, the hydraulic pressure
required to turn the circle is approx. 6 MPa (870 psi).

13 Hydraulic working system

The line scheme of the hydraulic working, braking, and steering systems is
shown in the line diagram.
The pressure is checked at the measuring point M1. The measuring point is
located at the control block.

13.1 Checking the oil level


Fig. 13.2/1

Place the machine horizontally. All operate cylinder bring in. Have the en-
gine operate in idle run.
With cold oil, and the engine in idle run, the oil level shall fill the oil-level
eye. The dipstick is accessible from the left engine compartment.

13.2 Refilling with oil


Fig. 13.2/1

Switch off the engine. Clean the cover area. Oil is topped up through the
return filter (F). To do so, remove the screw from the cover of the return
filter (F), and top up oil through the bore.
Put on the cover again, and screw in the screw plug.

Ensure that the correct type of oil is used. Do not


Fig. 13.2/1
remove the filter cartridge when filling up with oil.

13.3 Changing the oil


Fig. 13.3/1

Place the machine horizontally. Move all working devices into their highest
position, i.e. all cylinders are drawn in.
Discharge the oil in hot state. Before that, screw off the oil dip-stick. Con-
sider the note above!

The tank which is located below the Diesel engine, is equipped with a drain
plug (A) having a self-closing valve so that no oil leaks into the environ-
ment. 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 facil-
ity).
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 Fig. 13.3/1
more, and refill if required (sections 13. and 13.2).

Only use prescribed hydraulic-oil brands. See table


”Fuels and lubricants”
Ensure that the correct type of oil is used.

13.4 Replacement of the hydraulic filter

Stop the diesel engine before starting maintenance


work, or before a filter change.

13.4.1 Replacement of the filter cartridge of the backflow filter


Fig. 13.4/1 and Fig. 13.4.1/1

When the control lamp (3A) indicates that the filter is


contaminated the filter element must be urgently
replaced.

Make sure during the replacement of the filter element that no contamina-
tion can reach into the opened filter or tank during assembly. Fig. 13.4/1
Take off the filter cover of the filter (fig. 13.4.1/1) after the fixing nuts have
been screws off.

1. Take out the pressure spring together with the complete set of inserts.
2. Screw off the bypass spring package (1), and take the filter element (2)
from the support (3).
3. Clean the magnet column (4).
4. Mount the new filter element.
5. The assembly is carried out in reciprocal order
6. Turn the bypass spring package to the stop so that the prescribed bypass
opening pressure is adjusted.

Check the gaskets and O-rings for damages.


Care for an even seating of the filter element at the
support.
Carefully install the complete set of inserts into the
tank so that the gasket of the support is not dam-
aged.

13.4.2 High-pressure filter cleaning


Fig. 13.4.2/1

The filter (1) belongs to the steering system. Clean this filter as specified in
the maintenance and inspection schedule. Unscrew the filter pot (T) and
replace the filter cartridge. Before unscrewing the pot, again clean the parts
in its vicinity. After changing the filter, screw the filter pot back on tightly, and
then unscrew it 1/16th of a turn.

Do not damage the gaskets. Make a trial run and


brake and steering test after any work on the braking
and steering system.

13.4.2.1 Replace the filter cartridge of the high-pressure filter


Fig. 13.4/1 and Fig. 13.4.2.1/1

When the control lamp (3B) indicates that the filter is


contaminated the filter element must be urgently
replaced.

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 unscrew-
ing. Fig. 13.4/1
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 ele-
ment (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 ring’s sealing ef-
fect.

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. Sup-
port 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 disassem-
bled. 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.

Table of air pressure:

Tyres - type 17,5-25 14.00-24 17,5 R25


Front wheels 2,5 bar 2,75 bar 3,0 bar
Rear wheels 2,5 bar 2,75 bar 3,0 bar

Screw the complete wheel to the machine.


Tightening torque for wheel nuts: 500 Nm - 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.

18 Electrical system
18.1 Electrical system on the machine

Before you start any work at the electrical system of the machine, put the system out of operation. For this purpose, dis-
connect the negative and afterwards the positive cables from the battery. When you reattach the cables, start with the
positive cable and then fix the negative cable.

Do not start the engine if the batteries are not properly connected to the machine’s system.
Never disconnect the batteries, and never turn off the master switch when the engine is running.

The non-compliance with the above rules will lead to destruction of electrical and electronic components.
During each maintenance work, urgently check the cables for loose or contaminated contacts, for damages of the insula-
tion or cable breaks.
Before the beginning of possible required welding activities at the machine urgently disconnect the dynamo.
Do not mix up the polarity of the auxiliary batteries in case of an external start.

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 Cummins engines shall have the following characteristics:

Cetane number min. 45


Viscosity 2.5/4.5 cSt at 40 °C (104 °F)
Density 0.835 to 0.855 kg/l
Sulphur content max. 0.5 %
Boiling point curve 85 % at 350 °C (662 °F)

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 charac-
teristics.

The frost resistance of diesel fuels is an important prerequisite for trouble-free operation in winter. When the tempera-
tures 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 compli-
ance with DIN 51 601).

Operation from - to Frost resistant to


Summer diesel fuel mid-March to mid-October to 0 °C (32 °F)
Winter diesel fuel mid-October to mid-March to -20 °C (-4 °F)
ESSO POLAR FUEL in cold areas in winter below -20 °C (-4 °F)

In general, winter diesel fuels are frost resistant to a temperature of -20 °C (-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
Maintenance instructions 22

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 -37 °C (-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 -37 °C (-35 °F) 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, AGIP, ARAL, TOTAL and HAERTOL (Frostox), 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 cor-
rosion.

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 Required antifreeze percentage


-20 °C (-4° F) 35 Vol. %
-25 °C (-13 °F) 40 Vol. %
-31 °C (-23 °F) 45 Vol. %
-38 °C (-36 °F) 50 Vol. % (factory-filled)
-46 °C (-50 °F) 55 Vol. %

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 percent-
age of antifreeze as this would affect the cooling capacity.

Caution!
Overconcentration 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.

Maintenance instructions 22

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 con-
centrate 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.

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, batter- Proper condition of the injection system, starter, batteries and alternator ensure easy start-
ies, starter, alternator ing 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 Actuate the starter for not longer than 30 s. If the engine does not start, wait 30 s and try
low temperatures 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 In order to prevent components from sticking due to the cold, knock off any soil sticking
after working 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 If the machine is shut down, do not switch on the parking brake. Rather, lay wedges to the
wheels.

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
„Long-term 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 shut-
down, 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 pres-
sure 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 ex-
ceeded.

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 opera-
tion. After a shutdown period of one year, also the gear and hydraulic oil must be changed.
