CE-marking, EMC-directive

-
CE-marking
(Declaration of Confonnity)

NOTICE
Declaration of Conformity and CE-marking are only valid within

e the European Union.

This machine is CE-marked. This means that, when delivered, the

machine meets the applicable "Essential Health and Safety
V1054128 Requirements" specified in EU's so-called Machine Safety
Fig.1 Directive, 2006/42/EC.

The person making any changes that affect machine safety is also
responsible for the same.

As proof that the requirements have been fulfilled, an EU

Declaration of Conformity as well as a sound certificate for sound
level in dB(A) are supplied with the machine. The sound certificate
includes both measured external values and guaranteed sound
level. These declarations are issued by Volvo Construction
Equipment for every individual machine. This EU declaration also
covers attachments made by Volvo Construction Equipment. The

e documentation is valuable and it should be stored in a safe place

and saved for at least 10 years. The documentation shall always
accompany the machine when it is sold.

If the machine is used for other purposes or with other

attachments than described in this operator's manual, then safety

e must be assured in each individual case. In certain cases, any

modification may warrant new CE-marking and issuing of a new
EU Declaration of Conformity. The responsibility for this rests with
the party performing the modification.

The EU's EMC-direclive

In some cases the machine's electronic equipment may interfere
with other electronic equipment, or the equipment may be
interfered with by external electromagnetic interference, which
may constitute safety risks.

The EU's EMC-directive on "Electromagnetic compatibility",

2004/10S/EC, provides a general description of what demands
can be made of the machine from a safety perspective, where
permitted limit values have been established in international
standards.

5
 A machine or device must meet the requirements to be CE­
marked. Our machines have been specifically tested for
electromagnetic interference. The machine's CE-marking and the
declaration of conformity also cover the EMC directive.

If other electronic equipment is fitted to this machine, the

equipment must be CE-marked and tested on the machine with
regard to electromagnetic interference.

EU's noise directive

Within the EU, there is a noise directive (EN ISO 6395) with a
requirement to declare the sound level. Values are given on a
decal that can be read from the outside of the machine. Also,
every machine is delivered with a noise certificate where Volvo
Construction Equipment declares that the machine meets
governing legislation. It is also important that this certificate
accompanies the machine when it is sold. It is also important that
no changes are made to the machine's noise-damping
components in order to meet the limit values.
e
NOTICE
Modification of or removal of material which affects sound, e.g.,
noise-insulating, noise-dampening, or noise-absorbing materials,
is not allowed. Also, it is not permitted to make openings/holes in
e
the cab or engine compartment as this may increase the noise
level in the cab.

Cab roll-over protection (ROPS and FOPS)

RaPS (Roll Over Protective Structure) has been approved
following testing and meets standards according to ISO 3471-1.

Never make any unauthorized modifications to the RaPS-cab,

such as lowering the roof height, drilling, welding on fire
extinguisher brackets, radio antenna, or other equipment.

Such unauthorized modifications will affect the structural strength

of the ROPS cab and will void the certification.

The cab's roof is also tested and approved according to the

standard for FOPS (Falling object protective structure, protection
e
from falling objects) according to ISO 3449.

All planned modifications of the cab's structural design must be

discussed in advance with Volvo Construction Equipment's A.
engineering department to determine if the modification can be •
performed without affecting the approval.

It is important that all persons in your organization, including

management, are made fully aware of these rules involving
RaPS.

If anyone in your company discovers that a certain machine has

been modified in a non-approved manner, your company must
notify the customer and manufacturer in writing regarding the
applicable machine and how it was modified.

Safety concerns everybody!

Always follow the instructions in the machine's operator's manual,

which is a supplement to this Service Manual.

6
 The Operator's Manual must always be kept in the cab for easy
reference.

Volvo designs and manufactures machines with a high level of

safety as well as effectiveness. All this work may be wasted if
anyone who is about to perform service on any of our machines
does not read the safety instructions, or does not follow them,
e.g., does not replace guards, climbs on slippery machine parts
instead of using a ladder, grabs a hold of hoses instead of handles
or uses the wrong tools for the job.

In order to maintain safe and effective function, always use the

intended and adapted spare parts for the machine. Using genuine
Volvo spare parts is recommended since they are adapted to the
machine for highest safety and quality.

,­ Machines seldom cause accidents, instead people often do.

A safety-conscious person and a well-maintained machine make

for a safe, effective and profitable combination.

Those who do not follow the safety instructions and observe the
warnings in this manual must make sure that their work method

t is safe. Otherwise, there is a great risk of accidents, perhaps even

accidents that result in fatalities.

WARNING SYMBOL

This symbol is shown at various points throughout the manual.

The appearance of it means "Warning, stay alert! Your safety may
be involved!"

Get to know the capacity and limits of your machine!

Safety when handling the machine

Volvo Construction Equipment Group is only responsible if:

e the machine has been used correctly and has been maintained
according to recommendations in the service manuals and the
machine's Operator's manual.
prescribed service and inspections have been performed at the
specified intervals.

•
lubricant recommendations in the manual have been followed .
no safety seals have been opened by an unauthorized person.
all modifications and repairs have been performed in the manner
prescribed by Volvo.
only genuine Volvo parts/accessories, or attachments that fulfil
Volvo's requirements have been used.

7
 Machine operators must have sufficient skills and knowledge of
the content in the operator's manual before operating the
machine.
It is important that the operator reads and follows the instructions
in the machine's operator's manual.
An untrained operator may cause serious injuries and fatalities.
Never operate a machine for which there is no Operator's Manual
available.
Learn to understand the warning plates, symbols and operating
instructions for the machine before you start operating.

When there is a risk of roll-over

The cab is the operator's protection and meets the standards for
roll-over protection according to test standards, (ROPS), see
e
further CE-marking, EMC-directive page 5. Prerequisite for
protection is that the operator uses the lap-type seat belt and
remains in the cab in case of a roll-over. Therefore, hold on to the
steering wheel if the machine rolls over. Do not jump! t
Falling objects
The cab is dimensioned to fulfill the requirements for objects
falling on to the cab roof according to given test methods (that is,
FOPS, see further CE-marking, EMC-directive page 5).

u Alternative exit

• Alternative exit is possible through the split side window in front

of the B-pillar on both the right and left sides of the cab. Alternative

different substances that may be irritating and, in case of repeated
exposure, be very hazardous to health

The following safety actions must be taken:

- Remove the paint by sandblasting at least 10 em (4 in.) around
the welding or cutting point.
- When blasting, use breathing protection, protective clothing,
and tight-fitting safety goggles.

e - If the workplace cannot be sandblasted, remove paint in

another way, e.g., with paint remover. When using paint
removers, use an air extractor, breathing protection, protective
clothing, and protective gloves.

• - Grinding machines with high-speed grinding discs also heat

the paint and should only be used if equipped with an air
extractor. Also use breathing protection, protective clothing,
and tight-fitting safety goggles.

Rubber and plastics

When heated, rubber and plastics can give off substances that
are hazardous to personal health and the environment.

The following safety rules must be followed:

- Do not weld or cut with a torch near polymer materials (plastics
and rubber) without first protecting them from the heat.
- Never burn polymer materials when scrapping them.

21
 - Be careful when handling machines that have been exposed
to fire or other intense heat. See also Checklist after a fire or
heat exposure page 32
- Always use gloves, protective clothing, safety goggles, and
breathing protection.

Fluor rubber

Risk of serious corrosive injuries!

When hydrogen fluoride rubber is heated, there is a risk of

hydrogen fluoride gas build-up already at approx. 320°C (610°F).
When inhaled, the gas is extremely corrosive to respiratory tracts.

Certain seals designed to withstand high operating temperatures

t
(Le. in engines, transmissions, axles, brakes, hydraulic motors
and pumps) may be made of fluor rubber which, when heated to
high temperatures, forms hydrogen fluoride and hydrofluoric acid.

Hydrofluoric acid is highly acidic and corrosive. It cannot be rinsed t

or washed off the skin and causes very severe burn and corrosive
injuries that take a very long time to heal. As a rule, injures tissue
must be removed surgically.

Hydrofluoric acid may remain on machine parts for a very long

time (several years) after a fire.

NOTICE
In case of contact with hydrofluoric acid, it may take several hours
before any symptoms appear.

If swelling, redness, or burning pain appears, and contact with

heated fluor rubber is suspected as the cause, seek immediate
medical attention.
If a machine or a component for a machine has been burnt in a
fire or has been exposed to other intense heat, it may only be
handled by specially trained service personnel.
t
For all handling of machines after a fire, wear heavy-duty,
neoprene rubber gloves and effective protective goggles. See
Checklis! after a fire or heat exposure page 32. e
Burning of painted parts, plastic or rubber parts constitutes a
health hazard.

See Environmentally safe handling page 20

Decontamination
The area around a heated machine part that is suspected to be
made of fluor rubber shall be decontaminated by thorough and
ample washing with lime water (a solution or suspension of
calcium hydroxide. that is, slaked lime) in water. After completing
the decontamination work, wash the gloves in the lime water and
then discard them.
If the machine has been exposed to a fire or other intense heat.
the safety actions in the followi(1g checklist shall be followed

Rules when handling tyres t

" ,. > J

. 'f\WAV,f.'.~~~~~JJ~~
Make sure that you stand off to the side of the tyre when inflating
a tyre mounted on a split rim. Wheels of this type may explode,
causing personal injury and even death.
Use a self-attaching air-chuck with a hose long enough to allow
you to stand outside the danger area when inflating a tyre.

Inflating
- Always stand to the side of the tire when inflating a tire installed
on a split rim. Use a self-locking nozzle with a hose that is long
enough to allow you to stand outside of the hazard zone during
inflation, see figure.
Spare tyres should only be inflated with enough air to keep the
rim parts in place.
t
Use an inflation cage, safety cables or chains to secure a loose
wheel when inflating it with air.
The machine should be without load when checking the tyre
pressure. t
A1710400 Installing tyres and rims
Fig.19 Always stand off to the side of the tyre when - Never fit a tyre on a rim if the tyre is not clearly recommended
inflating it with air. for that rim.
- Never assembly rim parts for different dimensions and never
use damaged or defective parts.
- Be careful if you are using reconditioned wheel parts. Defective
or incorrect welding, heating or soldering may have weakened
the parts and could result in future failure.
- Make sure that the lock ring groove in the rim is free from dirt
and rust before fitting the lock ring.

Repairing tyres and rims

- Never cut or weld on the rim of an inflated tyre.

24
 - Be careful when working with bead-breakers and hydraulic
jacks. Keep outside the danger area when removing foreign
objects from the tire tread. A bead-breaker that disengages
releases with enough force to cause severe personal injuries,
even death.

Safety when working with batteries

Explosion hazard.

Handling batteries may lead to that electrolyte comes into contact

•
with eyes, skin or clothes. Wear protective equipment. Electrolyte
splashes in eyes must be rinsed off with water immediately.
Electrolyte on skin must be washed off with soap and water
immediately. Seek medical advice.

•
Batteries contain sulphuric acid, which is highly corrosive on the
human body and on machine parts. Also, batteries generate
hydrogen gas when they are loaded or charged. Hydrogen gas
and the oxygen in the air generate so-called oxy-hydrogen gas,
which is very explosive.

This combination, highly corrosive acid and explosive gas, entails

a major risk of accidents during all work with vehicle batteries.
That is why it is very important to be careful and to follow the rules
below when working with batteries.

When charging batteries, follow the instructions given below:

- Do not smoke near batteries since they generate explosive
gases.
- Ventilate well, especially if the battery is charged in a closed
room.
In order to reduce the risk of sparks that may cause a fire,

• always start by disconnecting the ground cable when removing

a battery and finish by connecting the ground cable when
installing a battery.
- Never tilt a battery to a great extent in any direction. Battery

•
electrolyte may leak out.
- Do not connect a discharged battery in series with a fully
charged battery. Explosion hazard!
- Make sure that metal objects (such as tools, rings, watch
straps, etc.) do not come into contact with the battery terminals.
Personal injury and fire may result.
- Always cover the top of the batteries with a cloth or other non­
conducting material when working close to the batteries.
- Always refit the terminal caps on the batteries.
- Batteries contain substances that are hazardous to health and
the environment. Therefore. discarded batteries must be
disposed of according to applicable local/national regulations.

25
 Charging of batteries

Explosion hazard.

When a battery is being charged, an explosive mixture of oxygen

and hydrogen is formed. A short circuit, open flame or spark near
the battery can cause a powerful explosion. Always turn off the
charging current before disconnecting the charging clamps.
Ventilate well, especially if the battery is charged in a confined
space.

Corrosive sulphuric acid

The battery electrolyte contains corrosive sulphuric acid.
Electrolyte spilled on bare skin should be removed immediately.
Wash the affected area with soap and plenty of water. If
electrolyte gets into your eyes or any other sensitive body part,
rinse immediately with plenty of water and seek immediate t
medical attention.

• Safety when handling oils and fuel

- When changing oil in the engine, hydraulic system or

transmission: remember that the oil may be hot and can cause
scalding/burn injuries.
- Oils as well as diesel fuel have are corrosive to mucous
membranes in, for example, eyes, throat, and on skin.
Therefore, avoid getting oil on these body parts.
- When emptying and/or draining oil or fuel, actions must be
taken to avoid unnecessary spills. In places where it is not
possible to use a container for collecting the liquid, use a pump
or connect a hose for safe handling. Oil and fuel that is freely
released is harmful to the environment and could also cause a
fire.
Waste oilslfluids shall always be taken care of by a company
authorized for this work, see Environmentally safe
handling page 20.

27
 - Remember the fire hazard!

Safety when working on pressurized systems

~., V1069801

Fig.23 Pressurized systems

Gas and oil under high pressure!

Be extremely careful during all handling and work with

pressurized systems since there is a risk of fatal accidents and
serious personal injuries.

Depressurize all pressures according to methods in each function

group before work in the systems.

Make sure that the person working with pressurized systems has
the right training. the right equipment. and follows the safety rules.

Safety when working on hydraulic systems t

The hydraulic systems on our machines operate at very high
pressures. In order to avoid serious personal injuries, it is very
important that the systems are maintained correctly. and that all t
persons who come into contact with the machines act with great
caution and with special attention to any defects.

Those who follow the simple rules below have laid a good
foundation for avoiding accidents.

General
- Never adjust a pressure limiting valve to a higher pressure than
that recommended by the manufacturer.
- A hydraulic hose that swells. e.g .• at a connection, shows that
it is about to rupture. Replace the hose as soon as possible!
Pay attention to leaks from hydraulic hoses and connection.
Repair the leak before the part ruptures!
- Discarded pressure accumulators shall be punctured before ..
they are scrapped to avoid the risk of explosion. see Safety "
when handling accumulators page 29.

Releasing pressure (depressurizing)

An accumulated pressure remains in the system when the engine
has been stopped. Before loosening or opening hose couplings,
t;
plugs. etc. in the hydraulic system or brake system. the residual
pressure in the system must be released by so-called
depressurizing.

If the pressure is not released before opening the system. oil

under high pressure will jet out, resulting in serious personal
injuries.

- All pressurized tanks/vessels shall be opened carefully so that

any residual pressure is released.
- Check-tightening of leaking couplings and connections shall
only be performed after the system is completely
depressurized.

28
 Leaking high-pressure hydraulic hoses may cause severe
injuries. Fine jets have high penetrating capacity on bare skin.

- When checking for leaks, use paper or a stiff board. Never use
your hand.

Safety when handling accumulators

If the pressure is not released before opening the system, oil

under high pressure will jet out, resulting in serious personal
injuries.

• Before an accumulator is removed from the machine, the system

must first always be depressurized, see Safety when working on
hydraulic systems page 28.

Some accumulators contain pressure even if they are removed

•
from the machine, so-called precharge pressure. Therefore, be
very careful during all handling and work with accumulators.

The precharge pressure must be lowered to atmospheric

pressure before working on a piston accumulator.

Avoid exposing the accumulator to high temperatures and

careless handling.

?;'@\\Vk'l7!:\g)~_Uj~
.8 7' {"~J
"f"
(~~,
:~~. -~~
A discarded accumulator which is not punctured may still contain
high pressure and must always be handled with great care.

Discarded pressure accumulators shall be punctured before they

are scrapped to avoid the risk of explosion, see 527, Accumulator,
discarding and 720, Accumulator, suspension system,
discarding.

• Safety when working on the machine's electrical

system

• - Do not use a test light with a bulb when troubleshooting the

electrical system!
The high firing voltage of the bulb can destroy expensive
electronic components.
- When installing a two-way radio, mobile telephone, etc., the
installation must be performed according to the manufacturer's
instructions in order to eliminate interference with electronic
systems and components that are necessary for the machine's
functions.

29
 Safety during electric welding

A CAUTION
Before starting any electric welding, disconnect the battery
connections. All connections to the control units (ECU) should be
disconnected. Connect the welding unit's ground cable as close
as possible to the welding point.

The following ECU-connections shall be unplugged:

- V-ECU
- V2-ECU
E-ECU
- W-ECU
- HMIM
- ECC
- ACM (only applies to machine equipped with DXXH-engine) t
Observe the following:
- The welding unit's grounding point must be in direct connection
with the welding point. Joints or bearings may be damaged by 6
the high current. .,
- Before welding, paint must be removed at least 10 cm (4 in.)
around the welding or cutting point.
- All paint decomposes when heated and generates a wide
variety of substances that may be both irritating and very
health hazardous in case of prolonged or repeated
exposure.
- In addition to the health-hazardous effects, the weld will be
of inferior quality, which may lead to future failures.
Therefore, never weld on a painted surface.
- Make sure that ventilation is adequate.

Fire prevention measures

NOTICE
Take extra care if a high-pressure washer is used for cleaning
since the water jet may damage electrical components and cable
e
insulation, even at moderate water pressures and temperatures.
Protect electrical cabling in an appropriate manner. The engine
and battery disconnect switch should be turned off.
e
General
- There is always a risk of fire. Find out what type of fire
extinguisher to use, where it is located and how to use it.

30
 - Fire-fighting equipment installed in or on the machine must be
maintained in working order. This equipment should be
regarded as a complement to the operator's own efforts in case
of a fire.
The equipment must not be regarded as a substitute for the
operator's own fire-fighting efforts.
- A fire extinguisher installed on the machine or used when
working on the machine should be of an approved type.
- At the slightest sign of fire, if the situation allows it and keeping
your own safety in mind, take the following action:
- drive the machine away from the fire hazard and danger area
- lower the load body onto the frame
- turn off the engine
- leave the cab
- turn off the electric power with the battery disconnect switch

•
- start putting out the fire and call the fire department if
necessary.
A1712100 - Smoking or open flames are absolutely forbidden in the vicinity
Fig.24 The fire extinguisher is located directly to the of machines when refuelling or when the fuel system is open
right inside the door in the cab. to contact with the air.

• - Regeneration may only be run in fireproof locations. This

means, among other things, that it may not be run when
refuelling.
- Diesel fuel is flammable and must not be used for cleaning. For
cleaning, use an approved solvent.
- Remember that certain solvents can cause skin rashes or can
constitute a fire hazard. Avoid inhaling the vapour from
solvents.
- Engine starting gases, e.g., ether, may be fire hazards. Store
these in cool and well ventilated spaces. Remember that such
starting gases, etc., may not be used in combination with
electric preheating of the induction air.

Cleanliness

•
- Cleanliness is of decisive importance for the trouble-free
operation of the machine and the reliability of machine
systems. For this reason, keep the area clean where service
work is performed. Oil and water make floors and steps slippery
and are also dangerous in connection with electrical systems

•
and electric power tools. Oily clothes constitute a serious fire
hazard.
- Check daily that the machine and equipment, Le., underbody
skid plates, are free from dirt and oil. This reduces the fire
hazard and makes it easierto detect defective components and
loose parts.

,.&;':.~:i..,I,lr· 10'N'
:~,:.',Yf;\~('~.:"·.·: :.. :'.~
If a high-pressure washer is used when cleaning, work
carefully since damage may be caused to electrical
components and insulation of the electrical cabling even at
relatively moderate water pressure and temperature. Protect
electrical cabling in a suitable manner.

- Keep the machine extra clean in a fire hazardous environment,

e.g., in sawmills, landfill sites, etc. Especially important for the
engine compartment, see Operator's Manual.

31
 Electrical system
- Check electrical cabling for chafing damage and make sure
that they cannot be damaged in such a way. This applies
especially to unfused leads, which are coloured red.
For example, electrical cabling between:
- Batteries
- Battery - starter motor
- Alternator - starter motor
- Electrical cabling to the engine's preheating coil.
If unfused leads are disconnected, it is important to check that
they are reconnected and clamped in such a way that the risk
of chafing is eliminated. Unfused leads must not rest against
oil or fuel hoses.
If connectors have been unplugged from a control unit, both
the plug and socket should be clean and dry before they are
reconnected.
When installing any optional equipment, make sure that all
electrical cabling is connected across a fuse and that they are
routed and clamped in such a way that there is no risk of
t
chafing.

Fuel, hydraulic and brake systems

- Check to make sure that there is no chafing damage to fuel, t
hydraulic and brake hoses.

Welding and grinding

- Welding and grinding on the machine may only be performed
on clean areas and not in areas containing combustible liquids,
such as tanks, hydraulic pipes and similar.
Take extra care when welding and grinding close to such
places.

A CAUTION
A fire extinguisher should be easily accessible during all
welding work.
- When performing electric welding on the machine, the battery
cables must be disconnected and the connectors unplugged
from the control units.
- Never weld on a painted surface without first having removed
the paint. Welding on a painted surface not only causes health­
f
hazardous effects but also results in technically inferior welds,
which in the future could lead to failures and subsequent
accidents.

Actions after a fire, see Checklist after a fire or heat

t;
exposure page 32

Checklist after a fire or heat exposure

- As a precaution, seal rings (O-rings or axle/shaft seals) should

always be handled as if they were made of fluor rubber, see
also section "Fluor rubber".

Avoid splashing when washing a machine damaged by fire.

For this reason, never use high-pressure washing equipment.

- Never touch burned components or parts with your bare hands

when there is a risk that you may be exposed to contact with
melted polymers. First, wash thoroughly with plenty of lime

32
 water (a solution or a suspension of calcium hydroxide, i.e.
slaked lime).
Use thick, protective gloves made of rubber and wear goggles
that are certain to protect your eyes.
- Seek medical attention if your skin may have come in contact
with burnt fluor rubber. The skin should be treated with
Hydrofluoric Acid Burn Jelly or similar.
Symptoms may not appear until several hours after contact
with burnt fluor rubber.
- Discard protective gloves, rags and other items that may have
come into contact with burnt fluor rubber.
- Ensure good ventilation during the work.
- In case of splash in eyes: rinse immediately with plenty of water
for at least 15 minutes. Contact a doctor.

• Environment

Our global environment is currently exposed to severe stresses

•
. due to ever-increasing industrialization worldwide. Nature,
animals and humans all over the world are exposed daily to great
risks in connection with different ways of handling chemicals.

There are still no oils and coolants, etc. on the market that are
completely unharmful to the environment. Therefore, all who
handle, perform service on or repair vehicles must use the
assistive devices and methods that are necessary for performing
their work in an environmentally correct manner.

If you also follow the rules below. you contribute to caring

for our environment:

Recycling
- Contribute to careful utilization of natural resources by
depositing scrapped materials with recycling or destruction
companies.

• Batteries. etc.
- Components like batteries, plastic objects and other potentially
environmentally hazardous waste may not be discarded just
anywhere or anyhow. Such waste must be handled in an

• environmentally sound manner.

- Discarded batteries contain substances hazardous to human
health and the environment. Therefore, always handle in an
environmentally safe manner and according to national
regulations, which may stipulate recycling.

Oilslfluids
- Oils that are freely released cause environmental damage and
can also start fires. When draining/emptying oils or fuel,
suitable action must be taken to prevent unnecessary spills.
- Waste oils/fluids must always be taken care of by an authorized
company.
- Watch for any oil leaks or leakage of other fluids! Repair the
leak immediately.

Air conditioning unit

- The refrigerant in the air conditioning system accelerates the
greenhouse effect and must never be intentionally released

33
 into the atmosphere. Special training is required for all service
work on the air conditioning system. Many countries also
require certification by an official authority for such work. See
Safety when working with air conditioning refrigerant
page 23.

Working in a contaminated area

- Used cab and engine air filters from machines that operate in
environments containing asbestos or other harmful dust must
be placed in the tight-sealing bag containing the new filter
before they are discarded in a designated area.
- The machine must be equipped for operation in contaminated
areas (polluted areas or areas that are hazardous to health)
before work is started. In addition, special local regulations
apply to such work and when servicing such a machine.

Environmental handling for the future

The world stands before gigantic challenges on environmental

,
matters where clean water, climate change, and use of chemicals
are some of the most important issues. Volvo has an important
function in meeting these challenges and contributing to a more
ecologically sustainable development. Quality, safety and
environment are Volvo core values and have for a long time been
t
integral parts of our company and our products.
Volvo Construction Equipment works with continuous
improvement of the machines' environmental performance. An
important factor to retain the machine's performance is the
service offered by the workshops. This service manual contains
recommendations, warning texts, etc. to facilitate your work for
the environment.

Fig.25

Waste handling

Contribute to careful use of natural resources by following the t

steps below when handling waste.
If possible, deposit the waste for recycling.

REUSE of products is the best from an environmental aspect.

MATERIAL RECYCLING for use in new products is a good

t
environmental alternative.

ENERGY RECOVERY by burning combustible materials is a

good alternative when recycling is not possible.

DESTRUCTION is used for hazardous waste. Destruction is

performed in special facilities.

DEPOSITION is the worst from an environmental aspect and

should be avoided as much as possible.

STORAGE is a temporary measure until a suitable recycling

method has been developed.

34
 Environmentally hazardous fluids

Pay attention to leakage of fuel, oils and other fluids from the
machine that may contaminate the environment.

Take appropriate actions to seal the leak immediately and

decontaminate contaminated ground as soon as possible.
SeeDecontamination page 35.

Oils and fuels

When emptying/draining oils and fuels, take appropriate actions
so that unnecessary spills are avoided. In places where
containers for draining cannot be used, use a pump or hose for
safe handling.

• Air conditioning
Refrigerant R134a contains substances that affect the
greenhouse effect and may never be released into the open air.

•
Service personnel who work with refrigerants must know the laws!
rules that apply in the local country but also international rules.

Special training is recommended for all service work on the air

conditioning. Many countries require certification from an
authority for such work. See also Safety when working with air
conditioning refrigerant page 23

Working in environmentally contaminated areas

Machines that are used in environmentally contaminated and/or

health-hazardous areas shall be specially equipped for operation
in such an environment.

Used cab and engine air filters from machines working in

environments with asbestos or otlier hazardous dust shall be put
into tight-sealing plastic bags that the new filters come in, then

• leave the used filters for destruction.

Decontamination

•
Start decontamination as soon as possible. Certain substances
spread quickly in the environment.

Decontamination after leaks/spills

Use suitable absorbing materials to collect leaking oil orfuel, e.g.,
absorbent mats.

Prevent leaking oil/fuel from draining into rain water/storm water

drains.

Contaminated soils and ground materials must be removed and

collected in suitable containers.

Collected soils and absorbent materials shall be left for

destruction.

Decontamination after accident

If possible, seal leaks from the machine.

35
 Isolate the leakage area using banks drain booms.

Add absorbent materials, e.g., absorbent sand or bark cuttings.

Stop leaking fluids so that they do not drain into rain water/storm
water drains or ditches.

Collect the absorbent materials and the top layer of soil, put it into
sealed containers for transport to destruction.

Decontamination after fire

First of all, put out the fire.

Decontaminate in the same way as after an accident.

NOTICE
Pay attention and be aware that certain substances may be
poisonous after a fire. See Health hazards with paint, plastics and
rubber page 21.
