Sealing elements
When dismantling parts, watch for
sealing elements.
Check sealing elements prior to in-
stallation and replace any that are
even slightly damaged.
When assembling, ensure a perfect
fit.
Oil-level check and oil change
Position the machine horizontally.
Change the oil when the machine is
at operating temperature.
Warm oil flows better and carries
suspended particles (carbon or ab-
raded matter) better.
Lubricating
Clean the lubricating nipple, then
lubricate as scheduled.
After servicing
To prevent corrosion, coat all bright
metal parts with a grease film. On
completing work, reinstall all protec-
tive devices.
Never start the drive motor while
work is being done on the machine.
Carry out a performance test with
the machine.
Warranty
One of the preconditions for the granting of the
warranty by the manufacturer is that all inspection,
servicing and repair work is carried out properly in
accordance with the present Operator's Manual
and that original spares are used.
Within the period of warranty, all inspection, serv-
icing and repair works, except the daily and weekly
inspection and servicing activities, have to be per-
formed by our Service Dept. or by workshops duly
authorized by us.
The performance of the inspection, servicing and
repair works must be documented in our Service
Booklet. Fig. 1

Important:
If an excessive amount of air should have got into
the system, the fuel system must be bled.

(arrow, Fig. 1). Move the lever (arrow, Fig. 2) at the
fuel pump until the system is completely bled. Re-

If air bubbles continue to be visible for a few min- Fig. 1
utes, the cause is air entering the system. A cause
often neglected for the penetration of air into the
fuel system, is the segment between the filter inlet
and the suction pipe in the fuel tank. Fuel tanks
with the outlet on top have a suction pipe reaching
down to the underside of the tank. Through cracks
or pores in the weld joining the pipe to the con-
necting piece in the tank, the air can get into the
fuel system.
Check all lines and connections and the fuel filter
assembly as a whole for leaks.

Risk of explosion
Diesel fuel may give off easily flam-
mable and explosive gases, too.
Therefore, when working on the fuel
system:
- shut off the engine and the auxil-

- secure the machine, keep away

- do not smoke.

cal stress. Screw drain plug back in place.
· Refit the cover of the maintenance opening.
Impurities and water settle on the bottom of the o
fuel tank. This is the case if the machine is refu-
elled frequently or regularly with fuel from cans or
barrels or if the machine is used in places with
strong fluctuations between daytime and nighttime
temperatures. This leads to the formation of con-
densed water, especially if the tank is not com-
pletely filled. Condensed water freezes at tem-
peratures below 0 °C and can therefore not be
removed from the tank through the drain plug.
Therefore, drain off water and deposits at the end
of the workshift and fill up the fuel tank.
Risk of explosion
Do not use white spirit, paraffin oil
or other solvents for cleaning of the
tank.
These substances give off easily
flammable and explosive gases.
Therefore use only diesel fuel or a
special cleaning oil for cleaning of
the tank.
Observe the instructions for use of
the cleaning oil manufacturer.

Rapid charging
· Observe the instructions issued by the manufac-
turer of the charging unit.
· Prior to rapid charging, i.e. charging with high
current intensities, disconnect both connecting
cables and remove the batteries (see: “In-
spection and servicing, safety instructions“ and
“Removing and installing the battery“).
· Prior to charging, release the plug far enough to
allow gas to escape from all battery cells.
· A discharged battery can freeze even at –10 °C.
It is absolutely essential to thaw out a frozen
battery prior to rapid charging; there is otherwise
a risk of explosion.
· Do not insert the mains cable of the charging unit
into the socket until the clips of the charging unit
have been connected to the battery terminals as
prescribed.

· Screw out the measuring spindle (2) and screw
the plug (1, Fig. 1) back in place.
The checking procedure must be performed on all
wheels. For checking, proceed as follows:
· Position the machine so that the screw plugs in
the wheel hub are in the position shown (Fig. 1).
· Secure the machine (see: "Securing the ma-
chine".
· Screw out the plug (1, Fig. 1).
· Block the service brake (see: "Using the service
brake").
· Screw the measuring device (2, Fig. 2) into the
open bore of the screw plug (fork wrench

· Slacken the lock-nut (4) of the measuring device. Fig. 1
· Screw down the measuring spindle (5) to the
limit stop by turning the knurled knob.
· Set the graduated drum (3) to mark "0" and lock
in this position with lock-nut (4).
· Release the service brake blocking.
· Turn the spindle (5) with the knurled knob down

Spacing rings
If your machine has radial tyres for

rings. Radial tyres are not designed
for spacing rings to be used and

Radial tyres can be identified by the Fig. 1

The tyre pressures are valid for the specified tyre dimensions and attachment configurations on the
following conditions:
- working equipment attached,
- bucket emptied,
- tyres at ambient temperature (approx. 20 °C / 68 F),
- fuel tank full.
Check the weight of the machine after changes of the working equipment!

The used refrigerant R 134a is
known as a safety refrigerant, i.e. it
is non-combustible, non-explosive,
non-toxic, non-irritating, and free of
smell and taste. The following
points must nonetheless be ob-
served:
In the cab:
· Evaporator (3, Fig. 1) contaminated or ribs de-
formed?
Blow out dirt and suck off, straighten the ribs.
· Antifreeze protection sensor on evaporator kin-
ked or leaking?
Have sensor repaired.
· Can condensed water (6) run off freely?
Remove obstructions in hose or replace.
· Filter mat (4) contaminated?
Depending on the conditions of use, the filter mat
must also be checked more often and cleaned by
blowing out or beating.
· Is heater valve (5) completely closed when the Fig. 4
heater control knob is in the "min" position?
This can be checked when the cover at the back
wall of the cab is removed. The heater valve (1,
Fig. 4) is attached to the right side of the heat-
ing/air conditioning unit. The adjusting lever of
the heater valve must be in the "closed" position
at the bottom (see also: "Heater valve, adjusting

· Filter element (Fig. 5) contaminated?
· Clean or replace filter element (see "Heating,
