2 Boom suspension system (BSS)

Boom suspension system (BSS)

(optional equipment)
NOTE! The change below is that the BSS-activation speed
has changed from 6 km/h (4 mph) to 3 km/h (2 mph).
The Boom suspension system (BSS) works only after reaching 3
km/h (2mph). When speed drops below 3 km/h, the BSS function
will be disengaged.
When starting the engine, the function reverts to previously prese-
lected position.

1 Lower bucket or other attachment flat on the ground.

2 Upper end of switch pressed in = Speed-dependent BSS se-
lected. The BSS control lamp on the centre instrument starts
blinking (BSS safety state).
3 Lift the attachment up from the ground by approx. 0.5 m (20 in).
1041546 The BSS control lamp on the centre instrument extinguishes
(BSS idle state).
4 After reaching a travel speed of 3 km/h (2 mph) the BSS is ac-
tivated. The BSS control lamp on the centre instrument lights
up continuously (BSS active state).
5 When the attachment is lowered (almost to the ground) or the
travel speed drops below 3 km/h (2 mph) the BSS changes
back to idle state.
6 The BSS is switched off by pressing the lower end of the switch
or by turning off the engine.

WARNING!
Before starting maintenance or repair work, park the
machine on level ground, rest the working equipment flat
on the ground and relieve the pressure in the hydraulic sys-
tem. Shut down the engine and actuate the lever for work-
ing hydraulics several times from neutral to tilting forward
and backwards.

NOTE! The Boom suspension system must not be activated

while travelling. For precise work with working attachments
the Boom suspension system must be disabled.

Other controls 3

Other controls
Back-up alarm switchable
(optional equipment)
The back-up alarm is used to warn people in the immediate vicinity
of the machine when the machine is reversing or when the "rear-
wards" direction is selected.
– Select the Rearward gear. The back-up warning signal should
be activated immediately.
NOTE! The back-up alarm remains active until the Rearward
gear is changed to Forward or to Neutral gear.
NOTE! In Germany the back-up alarm must be deactivated on
public roads.

4 Axles

Axles
Rear axle with transfer box oil, changing
(TP-version only)
The transfer box is flanged to the rear axle and has a separate oil
A household.

WARNING!
M400667A Drain the oil only at operating temperature.
Wheel hubs Attention! Danger of scalding!
A Level/drain plug (one on each side)
Change interval every 1000 hours, but at least once every year.
Take care of filters/oils/liquids in an environmentally safe way,
see Operator´s Manual.
Rear axle, oil changing (TP-version)
Before unscrewing the plugs, thoroughly clean the respective are-
as:
G Level/drain plug on wheel hubs.
H Drain plug on the rear axle.
I Filling/level plug on the rear axle.
1 When changing the oil, drain the oil from the wheel hubs (A)
and the rear axle.
C B
1041243
2 To avoid any injuries caused by the pressure increase in the
Rear axle wheel hubs, move the machine to bring level/drain plug (A) to
B Drain plug top position, loosen and unscrew the plug carefully. Then bring
C Filling/level plug the drain bore to bottom position and let the oil run out.
3 Screw in drain plug (B) with a new O-ring.
4 For filling, turn the wheel hubs until the word "Oil level" is in
horizontal position.
5 Fill oil into both wheel hubs until it starts to flow over.
6 Screw in level/drain plug (A) with a new O-ring.
7 Fill oil through filling/level bore (C) until it starts to flow over.
8 Screw in filling/level plug (C) with a new O-ring.
Capacity when changing oil: 17.5 litres (4.6 US gal)
For quality of oil, see Operator´s Manual.

Before unscrewing the plugs, thoroughly clean drain plug (D) and
filling/level plug (E).
1 First unscrew filling/level plug (E) and drain plug (D) and drain
the oil.
2 Screw in drain plug (D) with a new O-ring.
3 Fill oil through filling/level bore (E) until it starts to flow over.
4 Screw in filling level plug (E) with a new O-ring.
Capacity when changing oil: 1.2 litres (0.32 US gal)
– Check the oil level after a few minutes and, if necessary, top up
until the specified oil level is reached and remains constant.
For quality of oil, see Operator’s Manual.

Transmission oil filter 5

Transmission oil filter

A Applies to L45F/L50F TPS-versions only.

Checking
Check the transmission oil filter every 500 hours.
1 Park the machine on firm and level ground.
2 Select neutral (no gear engaged) and apply the parking brake.
3 Turn off the engine and remove the ignition key.
4 Turn off the battery disconnect switch.
5 Check the maintenance indicator (A):
B V1101453
– If it shows green, the filter can be used.
A Maintenance indicator – If it shows red, the filter must be replaced immediately.
B Cover (for the filter element)
Replacing
Replace the transmission oil filter if the indicator shows red or eve-
ry 1500 hours.
1 Park the machine on firm and level ground.
2 Select neutral (no gear engaged) and apply the parking brake.
3 Turn off the engine and remove the ignition key.
4 Turn off the battery disconnect switch.
5 Unscrew the cover (B) for the filter element.
NOTE! Collect draining oil.
6 Replace the filter element (C).
C 7 Check the O-ring (D) and replace it if it is damaged.
8 Oil the O-ring slightly and screw on the cover tightly.
9 Make a short test drive and check that there are no leakages.
