4.1 Maintenance intervals of the diesel engine

These maintenance intervals apply to average conditions of utilisation.


It is recommended to check during each inspection whether there are any leaks or loose fixings or connections. These
maintenance intervals only apply to engines operated with fuel or luboil which fulfil the requirements mentioned in these
maintenance instructions.

4.2 Maintenance schedule for diesel engines

The maintenance activities have to be carried out after operating hours or months, depending on what is reached first.
The following maintenance work must be performed at the end of the first maintenance interval (operating hours or
months)
(1)
Only properly trained personnel may perform the maintenance work.
(2)
The oil change interval depends upon the sulphur content of the fuel. This does not affect the intervals at which the oil filter
element is changed.
(3)
The antifreeze is to be renewed every two years. If an anti-corrosion agent is used instead of antifreeze, it has to be renewed
every six months. The coolant must be changed if exhaust gases penetrate into the cooling system.

4.3 Draining the cooling system of the diesel engine


Fig. 4.3/1 and Fig. 4.3/2

Caution: Do not drain the coolant from the hot engine if it is still under
pressure, as hot water may leak.

1. Make sure that the engine is in a horizontal position.


2. Remove the cover from the cooler.
3. Unscrew the drain plug on the side of the cylinder block (fig. 4.3/1 or fig.
4.3/2) or open the drain cock (see section 5.2, fig. 5/3) on the radiator,
and let the coolant drain. The drain hole must not be blocked.
4. If the cooling water is contaminated, flush the cooler with clean water.
5. Close the drain cock on the radiator or insert the drain plug into the en-
gine. Fig. 4.3/1

4.4 Checking and tensioning the V-belt


Fig. 4.4/1 and Fig. 4.4/2
4.4.1 Checking the V-belt

Worn or damaged V-belts must be replaced. Double V-belts have to be


replaced in pairs.
To reach a maximum service life of the V-belt it is recommended to tension
the V-belt with a tensioning device. Attach the device in the centre of the
longest unoccupied length, and check the tension (fig. 4.4/1). If a
Fig. 4.3/2
”Burroughs” device is used the correct tension is 400 N (40 kg). If the ten-
sion is below 250 N (25 kg) tension the V-belt to 400 N (40 kg) as de-
scribed below).

If this tensioning device is not available check the tension by pressing your
thumb on the centre of the unoccupied length (fig. 4.4/2). At the medium
thumb pressure 45 N (4.5 kg), the deflection of the V-belt is 10 mm. If a
double V-belt is installed, check and the adjust the one having the higher
tension.

Fig. 4.4/1
4.4.2 Tensioning the V-belt
Fig. 4.4/2

1. Loosen the fixing screws (1) of the dynamo and of the adjusting bow (2).
2. Swivel the dynamo until the correct tension has been reached. Tighten
the fixing screws of the dynamo and of the adjusting bow.
3. Check the tension once more. If new V-belts are mounted they have to
be checked for proper tensioning after the first 20 hours, and adjusted.

4.5 Fuel pre-filter


Fig. 4.6/1

A pre-filter (a water separator) is installed on the toolbox. Water and dirt


accumulated in the pre-filter have to be removed in regular intervals.

4.6 Replacement of the fuel filter


Fig. 4.6/2 Fig. 4.6/1
1. Ensure that the fuel supply valve (if equipped) is in the „OFF“ position.
Place a suitable container under the fuel filter in order to catch any fuel
that might spill. Clean up any spilled fuel.
2. Clean the outside of the fuel filter. Use a suitable tool in order to remove
the canister (1) from the engine and dispose of the canister in a safe
place.
3. Ensure that dirt can not enter the new canister. Do not fill the canister
with fuel before the canister is installed.
4. Do not use a tool in order to install the canister. Tighten the canister by
hand.
5. Remove the container and dispose of the fuel in a safe place. If
equipped, open the fuel supply valve.
6. Prime the fuel system. Fig. 4.6/2

4.7 Damage of the injection nozzle

Contact with high pressure fuel may cause fluid


penetration and burn hazards. High pressure fuel
spray may cause a fire hazard. Failure to follow
these inspection, maintenance and service instruc-
tions may cause personal injury or death.

After the engine has stopped, you must wait for 60 seconds in order to
allow the fuel pressure to be purged from the high pressure fuel lines be-
fore any service or repair is performed on the engine fuel lines. If neces-
sary, perform minor adjustments. Repair any leaks from the low pressure
fuel system and from the cooling, lubrication or air systems. Replace any
high pressure fuel line that has leaked.

If you inspect the engine in operation, always use the proper inspection
procedure in order to avoid a fluid penetration hazard.

Visually inspect the high pressure fuel lines for damage or signs of fuel
leakage. Replace any damaged high pressure fuel lines or high pressure
fuel lines that have leaked.

4.5
4.6
4.7
Maintenance instructions 4

Ensure that all clips on the high pressure fuel lines are in place and that the clips are not loose.

- Inspect the rest of the fuel system for leaks. Look for loose fuel line clamps.
- Drain the water and the sediment from the fuel tank on a daily basis in order to ensure that only clean fuel enters the
fuel system.
- Inspect the wiring and the wiring harnesses for loose connections and for worn wires or frayed wires. Check for any
loose tie-wraps or mission tie-wraps.
- Inspect the ground strap for a good connection and for good condition.
- Disconnect any battery chargers that are not protected against the current drain of the starting motor. Check the condi-
tion and the electrolyte level of the batteries, unless the engine is equipped with a maintenance free battery.
- Check the condition of the gauges. Replace any gauges that are cracked. Replace any gauge that can not be cali-
brated.

4.8 Deaeration of the fuel system

If air enters the fuel system, the air must bee purged from the fuel system before the engine can bee started Air can
enter the fuel system when the following events occur:
- The fuel tank is empty or the fuel tank has been partially drained.
- The low pressure fuel lines are disconnected.
- A leak exists in the low pressure fuel system.
- The fuel filter has been replaced.

Hand Fuel Priming Pump


Use the following procedures in order to remove air from the fuel system:
1. Ensure that the fuel system is in working order. Check that the fuel supply valve (if equipped) is in the “ON” position.
2. Operate the fuel priming pump. Count the number of operations of the fuel priming pump. After 100 depressions of the
fuel priming pump stop.
3. The engine fuel system should now be primed and the engine should now be able to start.
4. Operate the engine starter and crank the engine. After the engine has started, operate the engine at low idle for a
minimum of 5 minutes, immediately after air has been removed from the fuel system.

Note: Operating the engine for this period of time will help ensure that the fuel system is free of air.

Note: Do not loosen the high pressure fuel line in order to purge air from the fuel system. This procedure is not required.

After the engine has stopped, you must wait for 60 seconds in order to allow the fuel pressure to be purged from the high
pressure fuel lines before any service or repair is performed on the engine fuel lines. If necessary, perform minor adjust-
ments. Repair any leaks from the low pressure fuel system and from the cooling, lubrication or air systems. Replace any
high pressure fuel line that has leaked.

If you inspect the engine in operation, always use the proper inspection procedure in order to avoid a fluid penetration
hazard.

4.9 Replacement of engine oil


Fig. 4.11/1

1. Drive the engine hot.


2. Turn off the engine, screw of the oil drain plug (1) with the O-ring, and
drain the oil from the oil sump. Check whether the O-ring is not dam-
aged. Screw in the oil drain plug with the O-ring again, and tighten by 34
Nm (25.4 lbft.).
3. Fill in new, clean oil into the oil sump up to the ”MAX” mark at the oil dip-
stick (2) in accordance with the recommendations.

If the engine is equipped with a drain valve screw off the cap, screw on the Fig. 4.11/1
drain hose (belongs to the grader’s set of tools), and drain the oil through
this into containers.
Screw off the drain hose after drainage. The valve is automatically closing.
Screw on the cap again.

Do not drain any oil into the soil. Oil in the soil
destroys the living space of people!

4.10 Replacement of luboil filter


Fig. 4.10/1

1. Place a bowl below the oil filter to catch leaking oil.


2. Loosen and screw off the oil filter with a pressing ring. Check whether the
thread butt is solidly located inside the filter head.
Dispose the filter.
3. Clean the oil head.
5. Cover the gasket at the filter with oil.
6. Screw in the new filter manually. Do not use a pressing ring for tighten-
ing.
Fig. 4.10/1
Caution! The oil filter contains a valve and a special tube which avoid that
oil is discharged from the filter. Thus you should use the correct
Perkins POWERPART oil filter.

Fill the Oil Pan

1. Remove the oil filler cap. Please see section 20 for information about
suitable oils.
Fill the oil pan with the correct amount of new engine lubricating oil (refer
chapter 19).
2. Start the engine and run the engine at “LOW IDLE” for 2 minutes. Per-
form this procedure in order to ensure that the lubrication system has oil
and that the oil filters are filled. Inspect the oil filter for oil leaks
3. Stop the engine and allow the oil to drain back to the oil pan for a mini-
mum of 10 minutes.
4. Remove the engine oil level gauge in order to check the oil level. Main-
tain the oil level between the “MIN” and “MAX” marks on the engine oil
level gauge.

Maintenance instructions 4

4.11 Checking the valve clearance

Note: Only qualified service personal should perform this maintenance. Please contact your service agency for the com-
plete procedure for setting the valve lash.

Operation of Perkins engines with incorrect valve lash can reduce engine efficiency, and also reduce engine component
life.

Ensure that the engine can not be started while this maintenance is being performed. To help pre-
vent possible injury, do not use the starting motor to turn the flywheel.

Hot engine components can cause burns. Allow additional time for the engine to cool before meas-
uring/adjusting valve lash clearance.

Ensure that the engine is stopped before measuring the valve lash. The engine valve lash can bee inspected and ad-
justed when the temperature of the engine is hot or cold.

Maintenance instructions 5

5 Cooling system
5.1 Check of coolant level
Fig. 5/1

Put down the engine horizontally, and turn off the engine. Loosen the cover (D) of
the cooler slowly and take it off.

When the engine is cold, the surface of the coolant must be level with the lower
edge of the filler neck (water must always be visible). If required, add clean, soft
water.

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.

Note: The cooling system is filled with a long-time 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. Fig. 5/1

Be careful when opening the cover (D) of the cooler! Dan-


ger of burning if the machine is hot!

When the machine is hot, loosen the cover of the cooler only to its first catch, and
release the overpressure. Afterwards screw off the cover lid of the header tank,
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 -20°C (-4°F). If lower temperatures are
expected the portion of the anti-freeze has to be increased. Fig. 5/2

Note: At min. 80°C (176°F), the cooling system runs in the small circuit. The ther-
mostat opens between 80 - 90°C (176 - 194°F). The complete opening is
reached at 95°C (203°F). The heating system is connected to the small cir-
cuit.

5.2 Replacement of coolant


Fig. 5/2 and Fig. 5/3

Place the machine horizontally, and slowly loosen and remove the cover of the
cooler.
Open the drain cock (S) on the radiator, unscrew the drain plug (1) on the side of
the cylinder block, and allow the coolant to drain. The drain hole must not be
blocked. Fig. 5/3
Afterwards flush the cooling system with cold water, when the engine is cold.
Close all discharge openings Fill in coolant up to the lower edge of the filler neck
into the cooler. Now let the engine run at lower idle run for 2 - 3 minutes, then
check the coolant level again, and add coolant if required.
Close the cooler.

Maintenance instructions 6

6 Air filter system


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 Fig. 6/1
The more the air filter insert is contaminated the higher becomes the un-
derpressure 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 (1) in the cabin shines, and requests for
the cleaning of the filter insert. To control the underpressure, an underpres-
sure switch is installed in the suction line. It is adjusted to the permissible
limit of underpressure.

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 lat-
est. 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. It must not be cleaned.

Fig. 6/2
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 (K). When
the switch is operated, the control lamp (1) 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.
Check the seal on the filter cover.
The filter insert and the safety cartridge are fitted in the reverse order to
their disassembly.

6.1.2 Blowing-off the filter insert


Fig. 6/6

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.
The cleaning is made from the inside to the outside.
The cleaning is finished as soon as no dust is discharged any more. Fig. 6/6

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.

6.1.4 Replacement of the safety cartridge Fig. 6/7


Fig. 6/9

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

The filter element must not be cleaned!

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

Fig. 6/9
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.

7.1 Checking of oil level

Drive the machine hot (approx. 80 - 100°C/176 - 212°F). Place the machine horizontally. Shift to idle run of the engine.,
and put the gear shift lever to the neutral position (see for this ”Operation Manual”). Place chocks under the wheels to
prevent the machine from rolling away, then tilt the cab (see "Operating Instructions", section 9.11).

The oil level must be at the upper mark at 80°C (176°F), and at the lower mark at 40°C (104°F) of the oil dip-stick.

When checking the oil level, insert the oil dip-stick into the oil-level tube completely.

If, at operating temperature, the oil level has fallen below the MIN range, it must be topped up with the appropriate oil
(see section 21).

7.2 Replacement of oil

Place the machine horizontally. Turn of the engine, and shift the gear shift lever to the neutral position (see for this ”Op-
eration Manual”). Secure the machine by wedges against rolling away.

Screw off the oil drain plugs , and drain the oil. Be careful during the drainage of the oil that only the oil quantity filled in
the gears and in the upper part of the transformer can be drained through the oil drain plug. Afterwards strongly tighten
the cleaned drain plug by applying a proper gasket.

7.3 Oil filling

Take out the oil dip-stick, and fill in the prescribed oil through the opening
for the oil dip-stick, until the oil level has reached the upper mark of the oil
dip stick.

To fill the system let the engine run in idle run for a short time. Check the oil
level as described above.

The quantity of oil to fill in is approx. 18 litres (approx. 4.75 USgal.). This
value given is for orientation only. The mark on the oil dip-stick is binding in
any case.

Only use approve oil brands!

7.4 Replacement of the filter

Turn off the engine. Drain the oil.


Screw off the fixing screws of the filter casing cover and remove the filter
casing cover.
Replace the filter cartridge, and close the filter casing with the cover.

The filter cartridge has to be replaced during every


replacement of oil! Only use original spare parts!

7.5 Handling of the filter

Handle the filter with care during installation, transport, and storage!. Dam-
aged filter must not be used or installed!

7.6 Oil temperature


Fig. 7/2

The oil temperature of the gear is monitored by a temperature sensor. As


soon as a too high gear temperature has been reached the signal lamp (C)
in the steering column shines. A max. temperature of 100°C (212°F) shall
never be exceeded. At a system free of failures and a proper way of opera-
tion, a higher temperature will never be reached.

If the signal lamp (C) shines stop the vehicle and check from the outside
whether oil is leaking. While doing so have the engine running at a speed
of 1,200 - 1,500 rpm with the gears in neutral position.

So the temperature should drop rapidly (within approx. 2 - 3 min.) to normal


values. If this is not the case there is a failure which has to be removed
before any work is continued. Fig. 7/2

Note: Operating temperature after the converter must be at least 65° and
100° C in continuous operation, it may rise for short periods to a
maximum of 120°C (248°F).

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. Fig. 8/1
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 explo-
sion! Do not use a naked flame, generate
sparks or smoke in the near of it!
Do not place conducting items (tools) on the
batteries.

Be sure to set the master switch to "Off"


before starting 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.

9.3 NO-SPIN differential


Fig. 9.3/1

Caution!
During repair activities at wheels, brakes, axles, or tyres, turn off the engine, and all drive wheels of
an axle equipped with a NO-SPIN / Detroit Locker differential must be lifted so that the grader
cannot move by itself. Axles equipped with NO-SPIN / Detroit Locker differential gears transmit
force to both wheels - even if only one wheel in on the ground. A non-compliance with these pre-
cautions may cause an accident with material damage, injuries, or even death.

Vehicle is
Equipped with a differential

CAUTION!

MECHANIC/DRIVER:
Never apply heat when dismantling the driving axles.
Before doing any maintenance work on the wheels, brakes, axles and rolls, cut off the engine and jack the vehicle
so that all driving wheels of the axle with NO SPIN/Detroit Locker differential are off the ground. Use a securing
bolt or other form of retention when the two halves of the differential are taken apart.

Do not operate the vehicle unless both wheels of the NO SPIN axle pull through.
Be particularly careful when accelerating or throttling back on slippery or unpaved ground. Distribute the load
evenly from one side of the vehicle to the other; never exceed the nominal load of the vehicle. Ensure identical
tire diameters.
Before changing a tire, cut off the engine and jack the vehicle so that all driving wheels of the axle with
NOSPIN/Detroit Locker differential are off the ground.
Shift down to a slow speed in sloping bends.

IMPORTANT:Read the above instructions again, also Section „Important information and precautions for the NO
SPIN/Detroit Locker differential. Non-observance of these instructions may lead to damage, injuries
and even fatal accidents.

Fig. 9.3/1

Maintenance instructions 9

Checking of the NO-SPIN differential during driving


If a permanent ticking can be heard when driving straight forward, or if a permanent pulling to the right or left is stated
during forward driving, so e.g. the roll-on radius of the tyres could be the reason because of irregular wear or different
tyre pressures (possibly correct tyre pressure, and measure the distance between the ground and the rim.
During an alternating acceleration and braking when driving through a curve, it is possible that a snapping sound can be
heard sometimes, when the torque changes from ”drive torque at the inner wheels” to the ”braking torque at the outer
wheels”.

Functional test
Make sure that both wheel pairs of the axle equipped with a NO-SPIN differential gears have tensile force. Carry out this
test under load so that the torque of the engine is acting on the wheels standing on the drive lane, through the NO-SPIN
differential. This kind of load can be reached by driving a solid obstruction (on an unpaved or crushed-stone lane), and
trying to spin the wheels together. Carry out this test in forward as well as backward movement.

Utmost care is required when this test is carried out to avoid any damages at the grader and at the
obstruction used.

Checking the disengagement process


Drive in forward and reverse gear in a small circle on a flat road with good traction properties to ensure that the outer
wheel pairs can turn faster freely (i.e., that the outer tyres do not "grind"). You will mostly hear a clicking disengagement
sound. A gear engagement sound may also be heard when the curve is complete. This is absolutely normal.

Hint:Tractech issued an operation and repair manual for the NO-SPIN differential gear (Issue No. 1014). The instruc-
tions given therein are a useful support for owners and users of vehicles equipped with NO-SPIN Detroit Locker dif-
ferential gears when searching for and solving problems with regard to capacity. For graders equipped with NO-
SPIN differentials, the above mentioned manual is attached to the operation manual.

Checking of the NO-SPIN differential for proper operation when the machine stands
Series of activities:
Secure the machine against rolling away.
Lift the NO-SPIN axle so that both wheel pairs do no longer touch the ground.
Engage the parking brake.
Disconnect the flange of the cardan shaft from the rear axle.

Step 1: Start the test in such a way that a helper stands on the opposite side who, together with you, rotates the wheel in
forward direction, namely as far as possible (after a short rotation, the wheels should not allow a turning any
more).
Step 2: During a helper keeps the right side of the wheel strongly in forward direction (against the stop), rotate the left
side of the wheel backward, and listen to a clicking engagement sound, at the same time (the right wheel side
must be kept against the stop, or the left side of the wheel does not disengage freely). Now grip the left side of
the wheel and stop its rotating movement, then move it to the front ( into the direction of the stop). The NO-SPIN
differential gear should interlock now.
Step 3: Rotate both wheel sides backward as far as possible (both wheel sides should stop after a short rotating move-
ment.)

9.3
Maintenance instructions 9

Step 4: The helper on the other side strongly keeps the right side of the wheel against the stop to the rear, and you
rotate the left side of the wheel forward, and listen again for clicking engagement sounds (here again, the right
side of the wheel has to be kept strongly against the stop, or the left wheel side will not freely disengage). Grip
the wheel, stop the rotating movement, and move it slightly backward (into the direction of the stop). Now, the
NO-SPIN/Detroit Locker should interlock (should the NO-SPIN/ Detroit Locker block).

Now repeat the steps 1, 2, 3 and 4, only by keeping the left wheel side against the stops, and the right wheel side is
turned forward and backward.

In a proper state, the rotating (or more quickly running) wheels should be released manually easily, freely move into both
directions of rotation, and giving a little engagement sound. The NO-SPIN / Detroit Locker should not lock until the direc-
tion of rotation is reversed.

If you repeatedly hear loud clicking engagement sounds during this test it may be possible that one of the output cou-
plings is not properly seated at the crossing piece. In his case, ask for specialists.

In case none of the wheel sides can be rotated freely into both directions, check the brakes for correct adjustment, oth-
erwise ask for specialists.

Routine checking
The recommended lubricating activities, preventive maintenance, as well as check-ups as part of the maintenance of the
NO-SPIN differential gear should be complied with exactly. With the exception of the testing for proper operation as well
as possible modifications in the adjustment of the brakes (as explained below) the maintenance, checking, and lubricat-
ing activities at the NO-SPIN differential gear are not different from the same activities at vehicles equipped with a con-
ventional differential.

Adjustment
Do not shift or change anything at the NO-SPIN differential gear. Comply with the instructions, as far as new adjustments
or changes at other parts of the axle are required.
When the brakes are newly adjusted, the wheels have to be lifted on both sides, as well as the cardan shaft from the axle
gear, so that the crown wheel and the opposite tooth gears can be rotated freely with the wheels on the side where the
adjustment is carried out.

Maintenance of NO-SPIN differential gears


A final decision on the disassembly of the axle for the purpose of a check-up should only be taken after the operation
tests and the reading of the operation manual, and after it has been clearly stated that the NO-SPIN differential gear and
no other part of the axle does not work properly.

Testing interval for the NO SPIN differential


Jack the vehicle and test the NO SPIN differential as described at 3 month intervals.

Lubricating the NO SPIN differential


The NO SPIN differential is so designed that it can be operated with the recommended lubricants. No special lubricant is
required. In cold weather, use the lightest oil recommended so as to prevent a slowed-down engagement of the driven
coupling member.

9.3
Maintenance instructions 9

Important recommendations for the driver


Drive the vehicle only when the two wheel pairs of the NO SPIN axle are firmly on the ground. Power transmission to one
wheel pair only may entail steering problems.
Be particularly careful when accelerating and braking with the engine on a slippery or unpaved road. Machines
equipped with self-locking differentials tend to skid.
See to it that the tires on the wheels of the NO SPIN axle have the same diameter. Diameter differences may lead to
different speeds of the wheel pairs; as a consequence, the differential may transmit the torque to one wheel pair only
(steering problems).

Before changing a tire of a NO SPIN axle wheel, cut off the engine and lift the wheel pairs on both sides off the
ground so that the machine cannot roll away. Axles with NO SPIN differentials will also transmit the torque to both wheel
pairs when only one wheel pair has ground contact.
When driving a machine with a NO SPIN differential down a sloping bend, the braking effect of the engine or retarder is
restricted.

Very important!
Non-observance of this may lead to component failures or accidents (damage, injuries or death).

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 pre-
vent it from rolling away, and prevent any restart of the drive unit by unauthorized third persons.

Lubricate the joints as per lubrication chart during both installation and servicing. 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!

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
Hubs (5) - 2 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.

11 Braking system
Fig. 11/1

The diagram of the operating brake system is shown in fig. 11/1. There is no specific maintenance obligation for the
braking system.

Keep the whole system clean, and check it for leaks in compliance with the inspection schedule.

Four measuring points are provided for check measurements:


M1 = Storage pressure
M3 = Service brake pressure
M4 = Service brake pressure
M5 = Parking brake release pressure

Location of measuring points:


M1 = Right-hand control block output
M3 = Right-hand inside rear frame part (in the tandem rocker area)
M4 = Right-hand inside rear frame part (in the tandem rocker area)
M5 = Cab floor at the accumulator; connection BR3

Measured values:
M1 = Filled accumulators 24 bars
during storage loading (short time)
123 - 150 bar (TG 110, 150, 190)
M3 = 90 - 3 bar
M4 = 90 - 3 bar
M5 = 123 - 150 bar (TG 110, 150, 190)

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.

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.

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.

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 con-
tainer which is filled to half its capacity with hydraulic oil (see the consumable and lubri-
cant 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!

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. 11.4/1

x 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)
x Bring the multi-plate block into the braked state and check in the braked position.
x Remove the residual oil drain plug (52 ).
x 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
calliper gauge. (Specified dimensions for new multi-plates 38,5 ± 0.55 mm)
(Intervention dimensions for worn multi-plates 36 - 0.5 mm)

11.4 Parking brake emergency release


Fig. 11.5/1

Proceed as follows to release the parking brake mechanically if the pressure supply has failed:
1. Secure the vehicle to prevent it from rolling away.
2. Loosen and unscrew the screw cap.
3. Unscrew the locknut (width A/F 18), and turn the adjusting screw counterclockwise using a nut driver (width A/F 8) until
the brake disk is free.

Emergency release requires a torque of not less than 40 Nm or 70 Nm on the adjusting screw.

4. Lock the locknut and screw on the screw cap, rotating it onto several turns of the thread (for protection against dirt).

Remember that the vehicle has no parking brake in this condition, and needs to be secured by
other means to prevent it from rolling away. The brake needs to be adjusted by expert personnel
before the vehicle is put into service again.

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


Use shims B1 to B4 in the fastenings (2, 3) to compensate any vertical Fig. 12.2/2
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 fasten-
ings are subjected to different loads. To achieve roughly equal
wear, measure wear plate thickness after every third read-
justment, 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.

12.4 Slewing ring readjustment (guided in babbitt bearings)


Fig. 12.4/1 to 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 the claw (P) toward the outer diameter until
there is an air gap of 1.5 mm at the contact point. Fig. 12.4/1
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.

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


Fig. 12.4/2
pinion (R-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 ad-
justment.

Vertical readjustment of the circle


The vertical readjustment of the circle should always be followed by a hori-
zontal readjustment. Put the moldboard on the ground. Loosen the adjust-
ing 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.
Fig. 12.4/3
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 po-
sition 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 left side of the steering battery.

13.1 Checking of oil level


Fig. 13/2

Place the machine horizontally. Put all working devices down to the ground,
tilt the share to the rear, before doing so move the slewing gear and the
share completely to the right side. Have the engine operate in idle run.
The oil level should lie between the lower (minimum) and upper (maximum) Fig. 13/2
marks on the level indicator when the oil is cold and the motor is idling. The
oil level in the hydraulic accumulator must be checked daily, and topped up
with oil of the same type as and when required.

13.2 Refilling of oil


Fig. 13/3

Turn off the engine. The oil is topped up through the return filter (F), this is
located on the hydraulic oil tank and can be reached from the right-hand
engine compartment. To do this, unscrew the screws from the cover of the
oil filter and remove the cover. Clean the cover area beforehand! Slowly fill
in oil through this opening.
Screw on the cover again.

Ensure that the correct type of oil is used.


Do not remove the filter cartridge when filling up
with oil.

aged.

13.4.2 High-pressure filter cleaning


Fig. 11.1/1

The filter (1) belongs to the hydraulic braking and steering system. Clean
this filter as specified in the maintenance and inspection schedule. Un-
screw the filter pot (T) and replace the filter cartridge. Before unscrewing
the pot, again clean the parts in its vicinity. Tighten the filter pot after car-
tridge replacement.

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 (D) 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 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 fil-
ter'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 designa-
tion 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 Fig. 13.4.2.1/1
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 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. 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.

Air Pressure: 2,0 bar for diagonal tyres


2,5 bar for radial tyres

Screw the complete wheel to the machine.


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

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 (-30°C). To do this, use the tyre inflating equipment supplied in the on-board ac-
cessory 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.

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,
disconnect 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 Perkins 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

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, 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 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. %
-37°C (-35°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.

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
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
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
Maintenance instructions 23

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. alco-
hol (spirit) to the water.

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

23
Maintenance instructions 24

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
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 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.
