3.7 Danger zone

Nobody is allowed to remain in the machine’s danger zone.
The danger zone encompasses the area around the machine in which persons
may be injured by movements of the machine during operation, its work
implements and attachments, or by swinging out or falling loads.
The machine operator is only to work the machine if nobody is in the danger
zone.
The machine operator must give a warning signal to persons who may be in
danger.
Stop work with the machine, if persons remain in the danger zone despite the
warning.
To ensure no danger of crushing, a sufficient safety distance (min. 0.5 m)
must be kept from solid objects, e. g. buildings, excavation slopes,
scaffolding, other crawler excavators, etc.
If the safety distance cannot be kept, fence off the area between solid
construction elements and the working range of the machine.
If conditions are such that the machine operator’s view of the driving and
working zone is restricted, he must be guided or the driving and working zone
must be secured by means of a solid barricade.
3.8 Transporting persons

The machine must not be used to transport persons.
3.9 Stability
The machine must be used, driven and operated in such a manner that its
stability against overturning is ensured at all times.
Match the travel speed to the local conditions.
Do not exceed the permissible load for the machine.
Keep the machine away from the edges of quarries, pits, mounds and slopes,
to ensure there is no risk of falling. If this is not possible, the machine must
be secured to prevent rolling or slipping.
3.9.1 Stability on sloping ground

There is danger of overturning on sloped base.
There is particular danger when working (digging and lifting) on soft bases.
An increased degree of caution is required on slopes over 10° (17.6%).
The tilt angle increases when driving over obstacles one-sided.

Maximum
inclination Always drive straight up or down inclines. Driving at an angle on an incline or
cross-wise over an incline is extremely dangerous.
Do not turn on the incline and do not drive cross-wise over it. Always return
to a level spot to change the position of the machine and then drive back on
the incline.
Test the standing stability of the machine before beginning work.

Observe the stability specifications. The stability specifications are based on
a level, solid and even base.
All stability calculations must be made with a horizontally positioned machine
on a uniform and solid ground. If the machine is used while working under
conditions that do not meet this requirement (such as loose and irregular
ground, no horizontal position, side loads, etc.) these conditions must be
taken into consideration by the operator.
Never exceed the maximum allowable inclination angle of the machine.
Secure the machine against rolling or sliding.
Begin work slowly.

3.10 Driving
Before putting the machine into operation, the driver's seat, mirrors and
operator controls must be adjusted so as to ensure safe working.
Always wear the seat belt.
Keep windows clean and free of ice.
Driving tracks must be designed so as to ensure smooth, safe operation, i.e.
they must be sufficiently wide, on ground which has as few slopes as possible
and sufficient carrying capacity.
Downhill tracks must be set out in such a way that machines can be safely
braked.
Before driving downhill, the appropriate gear for the terrain must be selected
and the gear lever not be moved during downhill travel (road or off-road
gear). On steep drops and uphill gradients, the load must be carried on the
uphill side, if possible, in order to increase stability.
The carrying capacity of bridges, cellar roofs, vaults, etc. must be verified
before the earth-moving machine can drive over them.
Check the clear dimensions of constructions before entering into subways,
tunnels, etc.
It is the plant operator's responsibility to ensure that equipment such as first-aid
box, warning triangle, hazard lights are kept with the machine according to the
traffic regulations valid in the user’s country and that the driver has the
appropriate license as required by the national traffic laws of the country in
question.
Outside areas covered by general traffic regulations, e. g. on factory premises,
traffic regulations should be applied in the proper manner. This should also
apply with regard to drivers’ licenses.
3.11 Working Operation

Daily before commencing work and after every change of work attachments,
a check must be carried out to ensure that the work attachment is correctly
fastened, and the quick-mount hitch is properly locked. Move the working
attachment carefully in low height. During this check nobody must be allowed
to remain in the danger zone of the earth-moving machine.
You should only swing the work equipment over occupied drivers' seats,
operator consoles and workplaces of other machines if these are protected
by canopies (FOPS).
If a cab does not have the required protection, the driver of this vehicle must
leave the operator’s stand while the work equipment is being swung
overhead.
Load the machine in such a manner, that it is not overloaded and no material
is lost while the machine is driving. Load the machine from the lowest
possible height.
At dumping points, the machine may only be operated if suitable measures
have been taken to prevent rolling or falling.

must remain within the machine operator’s field of vision.
While guiding the machine, guides shall not be given other jobs which may
distract them from their task.
3.13 Use under the danger of falling objects

If there is danger of falling objects use the machine only if the driver's seat is
protected by a canopy FOPS. A front guard must be employed if there is a
risk of materials breaking through into the cab.
In front of walls e. g. of stacked materials, the machine must be operated and
positioned in such a way that the driver's seat and entry to the driver's seat
are not situated on the side facing the wall.
Only use the machine for demolition work if no persons are endangered and
if the machine is equipped with protective roof (FOPS) and front protection
mounted to the operator's stand. See regulations book "Demolition work"
(BGI 665) published by the German Tiefbau-Berufsgenossenschaft (Civil
Engineering Employer’s Liability Insurance Association).
3.14 Working in the vicinity of underground power

lines
Before commencing excavating work using the machine, it must be
determined whether any underground power lines are present in the intended
working zone which may present a danger to persons.
If underground power lines are present, their exact position and course must
be determined in consultation with the proprietor or operator of the lines, and
the necessary safety precautions decided and implemented.
Before starting any earth work clearly mark the route of lines in the
construction site area under supervision. If the position of lines cannot be
determined, search ditches must be dug - manually, if need be.
In case of unexpected detection or damaging of underground power lines or
their protective coverings stop work immediately and inform the supervisor.

3.15 Working in the vicinity of overhead power lines

If the machine is being used in the vicinity of overhead power lines and trolley
wires, a safety distance which varies depending on the nominal voltage of the
overhead line must be maintained between the lines and the machine and its
work equipment, to prevent current overspill. This also applies to the distance
between these lines and attached implements or loads.
Specified safety The safety distance depends on the rated voltage of the overhead power line.
distance
Nominal voltage Safety distance
> 1,000 V 1.0 m
more than 1 kV > 110 kV 3.0 m
more than 110 kV > 220 kV 4.0 m
more than 220 kV > 1,380 kV 5.0 m
nominal voltage unknown 5.0 m
Tab. 3-1 Prescribed safety distances
Also consider all working movements of the machine, e. g. positions of the

work equipment and the dimensions of attached loads.
Consider also uneven ground which could cause a slanted position of the
machine and thus bring it closer to the overhead power line.
During work in windy conditions, both overhead lines and work equipment
may swing out, thus reducing the safety distance.
If it is impossible to maintain sufficient distance from overhead power lines and
trolley wires, the plant operator must consult with the proprietor or operator of
the overhead lines to find other safety precautions to prevent current overspill.
Such measures could be, e. g.
• Switching off the current
• Re-routing the overhead line
• Wiring
• Limitation of the working range of the machine.

3.18 Load hook applications

Load hook applications are the hoisting, transporting and lowering of loads with
the aid of a fixing device (rope, chain, etc.), whereby the assistance of personnel
is required to attach and release the load. Such work covers e. g. the lifting and
lowering of pipes, tubbing rings or containers using earth-moving machines.
Earth-moving machines are only to be used for load hook applications if the
prescribed safety devices are present and in full working order. For earth-
moving machines, these are:
• Secure attachment of loading implements
• Carrying capacity
Loads must be attached in such a way that they cannot slip or fall out.
Personnel guiding the machine and attaching loads must always remain in
the machine operator’s field of vision.
Keep loads as close above the ground ass possible and avoid swinging
about.
Move the machine with the suspended load only if the travel ground is almost
level.
If the machine is used for load hook applications, personnel attaching loads
is only to approach the lifting frame from the side and with the machine
operator’s permission. The machine operator is only to give his permission if
the machine is standing still and the work equipment is not in motion.

Note
Strictly observe all safety notes.
See chapter 3.19 "Conversions, maintenance and repairs", page 29.
6.1 General
The good operating condition and life expectancy of machines are largely
influenced by care and maintenance.
For this reason, it is in every machine owner’s interest to perform the specified
maintenance work and comply with the service intervals. This chapter deals in
detail with periodic maintenance, inspection and lubricating tasks.
The type-specific maintenance and inspection plan lists all work to be performed
on the machine at regular intervals. Maintenance and inspection plans for this
purpose are contained in every Instruction Book.
6.2 Care and cleaning

Cleaning the machine
Clean the machine in the parking position on a suitable base with oil
separator.
If working with a high pressure cleaner, a protective face shield and
protective clothing must be worn.
Neither a steam-jet nor a high-pressure cleaner must be used for cleaning
during the first two months after the machine has been used for the first time,
or when newly painted, to ensure that the paint can cure sufficiently.
Do not use aggressive detergents to clean the machine. We recommend
using commercially available cleaning agents for passenger cars.
Do not exceed a hot water jet temperature of 80°C and a jet pressure of
70 bar.
Linings (insulating materials, etc.) should not be exposed directly to water,
steam or high-pressure jets.
When cleaning with water or steam jets, take care not to direct the jet into
exhaust and air filter openings.
When cleaning the engine with water or steam jet, do not expose sensitive
engine parts, such as generator, wiring, oil pressure switches, etc. directly to
the jet.
After wet cleaning lubricate the machine as specified in the lubrication plan
and check all clearances, support and travel functions.

6.3.1 Regular oil analysis

Oil analysis are not intended as a substitute for the oil change intervals but –
apart from a possible reduction of maintenance costs and as a form of
preventive maintenance – they take into account the increasing environmental
awareness.
Advantages of • Extension of the oil change intervals under standard or light-duty operating
an oil analysis conditions.
• Minimum wear of high-quality components with optimum use of the
lubricants.
• Periodic laboratory analyses enable an early detection of imminent damage.
• Repairs performed before they actually become absolutely necessary help
prevent serious and unexpected damage.
• Resulting damage will also be prevented.
Oil analysis Regular oil analysis will indicate any developing trends regarding the state of the
intervals oil and the machine. The oils should be analyzed at the following intervals:
Oil Operating hours

Hydraulic oil 1000
Transmission oil 500
Engine oil 100
Tab. 6-2 Oil analysis intervals
Based on the first results, the laboratory recommends the interval for the next
sampling. Ask your Terex dealer for an information booklet detailing the scope
and procedures of the oil analysis.

7 Operation
Immobilizer Note
(option)
The immobilizer is self-activating; that is, without additional activation
or divergent actions.
If the mechanical start switch is in position "0" (terminal 15 off), the
immobilizer is generally activated.
Set the start switch key to position "0."
J The immobilizer is automatically activated after 5 sec.
J The immobilizer becomes and remains activated if the key remains inserted
in position “0”.
Deactivating the immobilizer

Note
The immobilizer is deactivated if a valid mechanical key and a valid
electronic key (transponder) are present.
Set the start switch key to position “1”.
J The transponder is not read until the mechanical key in the start switch has
activated terminal 15. This makes it necessary to first open the mechanical
locking system before the electronic key is inspected. A manipulation of the
immobilizer with the ignition deactivated is thereby impossible.
Learning a new key

Learning a new key takes place with a master key that is identified with a red key
pommel.
The master key must be stored carefully; only one master key is available for
each immobilizer.
This master key can only be used to learn new keys; it cannot be used to
deactivate the immobilizer. This prevents the master key from being used to
operate the vehicle.
Insert the master key into the ignition lock.
Set the master key in position "1" (terminal 15 on) for max. 5 sec.
Set the master key in position “0” (terminal 15 off).
Pull out the master key.
J The immobilizer electronics expects the key that is to be learned in the next
15 sec.
Insert the key to be learned into the ignition lock.
Turn the key to be learned to position “1”.
J The learned key is registered as a valid key.
If no key is recognized for learning in 15 sec, the learning procedure ends
automatically.
15
Operation
7
Learning multiple new keys

Insert the keys to be learned into the ignition lock one after the other.
Turn the key to be learned to position “1”.
Leave the individual keys in the position "1" for at least 1 sec.
Up to 10 keys can be learned.

With this technique, it is possible to learn one key on several immobilizers, such
as for a general fleet key.
Note
This function is only available if the control unit relay is additionally
connected to terminal 30.
Clearing learned keys

Clearing learned keys is necessary if a learned key has been lost.
All learned keys are cleared during the deletion process. After clearing, all
available keys can be relearned.
Insert the master key into the ignition lock.
Set the master key in position “1” (terminal 15 on) for minimum 20 sec.
J All learned keys are cleared and all available keys can be relearned.
J The master key code is not deleted during the clearing process.
Note
This function is only available if the control unit relay is additionally
connected to terminal 30.

15
7 Operation
Security functions
If more than 5 keys are activated in the ignition lock within 1 minute with different
invalid codes, the immobilizer remains active for 15 minutes and accepts no
valid keys during this time.
This procedure prevents the "testing" of different keys and the coincidental
locating of the correct key.
If different invalid keys are recognized without the ignition lock being brought to
position "0," the immobilizer remains activated for 15 minutes and accepts no
valid keys.
Valid keys are only accepted after the 15 minutes and recognition of the start
switch in the "0" position. This prevents the key from being tested without the
mechanical ignition lock being activated, such as if the ignition lock is forcibly
brought to the "1" position.

7.2.6 Ride control system (RCS) (option)

Depending on the machine's operating weight, road conditions, and speed,
there may be pitching oscillations when driving wheel loaders.
The ride control system reduces pitching oscillation, which results in the
following advantages:
• higher transport speed
• improved material-handling performance
• more stable steering performance
• shorter braking distance
• increased ride comfort
Note
Load-retaining valves (option) are without function as long as the ride control
system is activated (at more than 6 km/h)!
Switching on the ride control system

Set the ride control system to the forward switch position.
The ride control system is automatically activated as soon as the travel speed is
more than 6 km/h.

7.2.8 Notes for winter operation

The following points and the relevant notes in the engine instruction manual
should be observed during winter operation.
Hydraulic oil If the machine has not been used for longer periods of time at temperatures
around and below freezing, warm up the engine by running at medium revs
for approx. 3-5 min.
Engine oil The oil viscosity (SAE class) should be selected according to the ambient
temperature at the machine's place of operation.
Condition of the A good cold start performance requires a well-charged battery.

battery
Warm up the battery to approx. +20°C (remove the battery after shutting
down the engine and store it in a warm room). This can help to lower the start
limit temperatures by 4-5°C.
Ensure good contact of the terminal connections when installing the battery.
Only tighten terminal screws “hand-tight”, to prevent deformation of the
terminal cones!
Coolant Check the antifreeze setting before the beginning of the cold season.
Match the antifreeze to the ambient temperature, as required. At the factory,
the antifreeze protection is set to approx. -25° C.
Fuel Only use commercially available brand-name diesel fuel with a sulfur content
of less than 0.5 %.
Use only winter diesel fuel in winter to prevent line connections becoming
blocked through paraffin deposits. At very low temperatures, troublesome
deposits may also occur when winter diesel is used.
