Measures for safe maintenance

If necessary, open doors and windows to guarantee a sufficient supply of fresh


air.

2.7 Measures for safe maintenance

1. Do not carry out any maintenance or repair tasks with which you are not
familiar.
2. Observe all deadlines for recurring checks or inspections which have been
prescribed or are specified in the operating instructions.
To carry out servicing measures, it is absolutely imperative that factory equip-
ment appropriate for the respective task is used.
3. The tasks to be carried out, as well as the personnel who must or may perform
these tasks are clearly defined in the listing at the end of these operating
instructions.
Only those tasks characterised with „by maintenance personnel” in the oper-
ating and maintenance instructions may be performed by the machine oper-
ator or the maintenance personnel. All other tasks may only be carried out by
authorised personnel who have undergone the appropriate training.
4. Spare parts must comply with the technical requirements specified by the
manufacturer. This can always be guaranteed with original spare parts.
5. Always wear protective clothing when carrying out maintenance tasks.
6. Unless otherwise specified in these operating instructions, all maintenance
tasks for the diesel engine must be carried out on firm, level ground with the
diesel engine switched off.
7. When carrying out maintenance and repair tasks, tighten the loosened screw
connections with the prescribed tightening torque.
8. Clean the diesel engine of oil, fuel or detergents, in particular connections and
threaded unions before commencing maintenance or repair tasks. Do not use
any aggressive cleaning agents. Use fibre-free cleaning cloths.
Do not use any flammable liquids for cleaning the diesel engine.
9. Before cleaning the machine with water, steam jet (high-pressure cleaner) or
other cleaning agents, seal or cover all openings into which water/steam/
cleaning agents should not be allowed to penetrate due to reasons of safety or
functionality.
The crankcase breather, electronics box, starter and generator are at partic-
ular risk.
Additional tasks:
• After cleaning, remove the covers or adhesive bondings completely.
• After cleaning, examine all fuel lines, diesel engine oil lines and engine oil
lines for leaks, loose connections, points of wear and damage.
• Remedy any ascertained faults immediately.
10. Observe the safety guidelines valid for the respective product when handling
oils, greases and other chemical substances.
LMB/11429440/00/01.12.2015/en

11. Ensure that fuels and consumables, as well as replacement parts are disposed
of in a safe and environmentally-friendly manner.
12. Observe caution when handling hot fuels and consumables (danger of burning
and scalding).
13. Always wear gloves when searching for leaks. A fine jet of liquid, when pres-
surised, could penetrate the skin.
14. Shut down the diesel engine before loosening oil lines.
15. Combustion engines may only be operated in sufficiently ventilated areas.
Ensure sufficient ventilation before initiating operation in enclosed areas.
Observe the valid guidelines for the respective jobsite.

Operator's manual Notes on safety
Observe the safety precautions for diesel engines featuring electronic
control units

16. Do not try to lift heavy parts. Suitable lifting gear featuring sufficient lifting
capacity must be used for these tasks.
Procedure:
• Tighten and secure individual parts and larger assemblies carefully to the
lifting gears when replacing heavy parts to eliminate any hazardous situa-
tions.
• Only use suitable and technically sound lifting gear, as well as load carrying
equipment featuring sufficient lifting capacity.
It is prohibited to remain or work beneath suspended loads.
17. Do not use ropes which are damaged, or do not feature sufficient lifting
capacity. Always wear industrial gloves when handling wire cables.
18. Tasks on electrical equipment around the machine may only be carried out by
an electrical specialist or by trained personnel under the supervision and
instruction of an electrical specialist in compliance with the electrotechnical
regulations.
19. Disconnect the battery when working on the electrical system. Additionally,
remove the plug from the control unit when performing electrical welding work
on the machine. Always disconnect the negative terminal first and reconnect
last.

2.8 Observe the safety precautions for diesel


engines featuring electronic control units

1. Only start up the diesel engine with the batteries securely connected.
2. Do not disconnect batteries while the diesel engine is running.
3. The diesel engine may only ever be started with the control unit connected.
4. Do not use a fast charger to start the diesel engines. Only use jump leads with
separate batteries.
5. The battery terminal clips must be disconnected for fast charging of the
batteries. Refer to the operating instructions of the fast charger.
6. When carrying out electrical welding tasks, the batteries must be disconnected
and both cables (positive and negative) must be securely connected with each
other. Connection to the engine electronics is to be disconnected via the inter-
face plugs.
7. Connections of the control units may only be connected or disconnected with
the electrical system switched off. Tighten the fastening screws of the interface
plugs with the prescribed tightening torque.
8. Incorrect polarity of the control unit's voltage or supply voltage (e.g. via incor-
rect polarity of the batteries) can lead to ruination of the control units.
9. Tighten the connections on the injection system with the prescribed tightening
torque.
10. If temperatures exceeding 80 °C are anticipated (e.g. drying ovens), the
LMB/11429440/00/01.12.2015/en

control unit must be removed.


11. Only use suitable test leads for measurements at the plug connections.
12. Neither sensors nor actuators may be connected individually to, or between
external voltage sources for inspection or test purposes, but rather always with
the electronic control unit, otherwise there is a risk of the diesel engine
malfunctioning or even becoming ruined.
13. The electronic control unit is only sufficiently protected against dust and water
if the mating connector is mounted and attached. If no mating connectors have
been attached, the control unit must be sufficiently protected against dust and
water.

Notes on safety Operator's manual
Special notes regarding tasks on the Common Rail System

14. Telephones and radio equipment which are not connected to an external aerial
could lead to functional failure of the vehicle's electronics, and thus jeopardise
operational safety of the diesel engine.

2.9 Safety and emergency run program for


diesel engines featuring electronic control
units

1. The diesel engine features an electronic regulating system which monitors the
diesel engine, as well as the electronic regulating system itself (self-diagnosis).
If a fault is detected, one of the following measures is automatically initiated
following evaluation of the fault:
• Issue of an error report featuring error code.
• The error code is issued directly via a display in conjunction with the
vehicle diagnostics system.
• Changeover to suitable back-up function for further, however, limited oper-
ation of the diesel engine (e.g. constant emergency-run speed).
Have all faults remedied immediately by the respective Lieb-
herr After Sales Service.

2.10 Special notes regarding tasks on the


Common Rail System

1. With the diesel engine running, the lines are under a constant fuel pressure of
up to 2000 bar.
• Never loosen the screw connections on the fuel high-pressure side of the
Common Rail System (injection from the high-pressure pump to the rail, at
the rail and on the cylinder head to the injector) while the diesel engine is
running.
2. Any fuel which escapes while pressurised can penetrate human skin, and thus
cause serious injury. There is a risk of conflagrations due to misting of the fuel.
• After the diesel engine has been shut down, wait for at least another minute
to give pressure in the rail system time to dissipate.
• Do not remain in direct proximity of the diesel engine while the diesel
engine is running.
• Persons with pacemakers fitted may not approach any nearer than 20 cm
to the diesel engine while it is running.
LMB/11429440/00/01.12.2015/en

• Do not touch voltage-carrying parts on the electrical connection of the injec-


tors while the diesel engine is running.
3. State-of-the-art components for the diesel injection nowadays are made of
high-precision parts which are subjected to extreme stresses. Due to this high-
precision technology, utmost cleanliness must be guaranteed whenever tasks
on the fuel system are undertaken.
Dirt particles exceeding 0.2 mm are already large enough to cause failure of
components.

4. It is absolutely imperative, therefore, that the following prescribed measures


are adhered to before commencing any tasks:
• Before commencing any tasks on the clean side of the fuel system, the
diesel engine and the diesel engine compartment must be cleaned (steam-
jet cleaning), ensure that the fuel system is closed.
• Carry out a visual inspection of the fuel system for leaks or damage.
• Do not spray directly onto electrical components with the steam jet cleaner,
mount covers wherever necessary.
• Place the diesel engine in a clean area within the workshop where no work
is being carried out which may cause dust to rise (grinding and welding
work, repairs to brakes, inspecting brakes and lines etc.).
• Avoid air disturbances (possible raising of dust by starting the diesel
engines, aeration or heating of the workshop or draughts etc.).
• The area around the closed fuel system is to be cleaned with compressed
air and dried.
• Remove loose dirt particles such as flakes of paint and insulating paper
using suitable suction equipment (industrial vacuum cleaner).
• Hang a new, clean cover sheet over areas of the diesel engine compart-
ment which may be prone to releasing dirt particles.
• Before commencing the disassembly work, wash your hands and put on
clean overalls.
5. It is imperative that the following prescribed measures are adhered to when
carrying out work:
• The utilisation of compressed air for cleaning is not permissible after
opening the fuel system on the clean side.
• Loose dirt is to be removed during the assembly procedure using suitable
suction equipment (industrial vacuum cleaner).
• Only lint-free cleaning cloths may be used on the fuel system.
• Tools and working appliances are to be cleaned before commencing work.
• Only tools which do not indicate any damage (cracks in the chrome
coating) may be used.
• When removing and installing components, do not use materials such as
towels, cardboard or wood, as these materials could release particles and
fibres.
• Should flakes of paint become released when loosening connections
(possibly caused by excessive painting), these flakes of paint must be care-
fully removed before definitively disconnecting the fitting.
• The open connection ports from all removed parts from the clean side of
the fuel system are to be sealed immediately using appropriate sealing
caps.
• This sealing material must remain in its dustproof packaging up to the point
of utilisation and is to be disposed of immediately following initial use.
• The components are then to be stored carefully in a clean, sealed
container.
• Never apply used cleaning agents or test fluids to the components.
• New parts may only be removed from their original packaging immediately
before use.
LMB/11429440/00/01.12.2015/en

• Work on removed components may only be carried out in a workplace


specifically provided for this purpose.
• Should removed parts require posting, always use the original packaging
from the new parts.

5.15.2 Storage up to 6 months


The LIEBHERR diesel engine has been preserved from the date on which it was
declared ready for shipment, with normal storage in a dry, well-ventilated area, the
preservation protection period is 6 months.
If the diesel engine is additionally covered with plastic sheeting, it may also be left
out in the open for up to a month.
The cover must be watertight and be wrapped loosely around the diesel engine in
order that air can circulate around the diesel engine, thus preventing any conden-
sation forming.
If the aforementioned measures are not strictly adhered to, whereby the preserved
diesel engine is subjected to unfavourable conditions (left out in the open for
lengthy periods of time or being stored in damp, poorly-ventilated areas etc.) a
shorter preservation protection period must be estimated.
LMB/11429440/00/01.12.2015/en

5.15.3 Storage for between 6 and 24 months


For storage between 6 and 24 months, please consult LIEBHERR Services or a
