4.1 General notes on mainte-
nance
When performing maintenance work strictly ob-
serve the respective safety regulations and partic-
ularly the safety regulations mentioned in chapter
2 of these operating and maintenance instruc-
tions.
Thorough maintenance of the machine ensures
maximum reliability and prolongs the lifetime of im-
portant components. The necessary effort can by
no means be compared with the faults which may
occur when not observing these instructions.
Clean machine and engine thoroughly before
l
starting maintenance work.
For maintenance work park the machine on
l
level ground.
Maintenance work must generally be carried
l
out with the engine shut down.
During maintenance work catch all oils and fu-
l
els and do not let them seep into the ground.
Dispose of oils and fuel environmentally.
Notes on the fuel system
The lifetime of the diesel engine is decisively de-
pending on the cleanliness of the fuel.
Keep the engine free of dirt and water as this
l
could damage the injection elements of the en-
gine.
Zinc lined drums are not suitable for storing fu-
l
el.
The fuel drum should rest for a longer period
l
of time before drawing off fuel.
Under no circumstances must the drum be
l
rolled to the tapping pint just before drawing off
fuel.
When choosing the storage location for fuel
l
make sure that spilled fuel will not harm the en-
vironment.
Do not let the suction hose disturb the sludge
l
on the bottom of the drum.
3 0
Do not draw off fuel from near the bottom of
l
the fuel drum.
Fuel left in the fuel drum is not suitable for the
l
engine and should only be used for cleaning
purposes.
Notes on the engine performance
Combustion air and fuel injection rates of the die-
sel engine have been carefully adjusted and deter-
mine the engine's performance and temperature
level as well as the quality of the exhaust gas.
If your machine has to operate permanently in
"thin air" (at high altitudes) and with full power, you
should consult the after sales service of BOMAG
or the service department of the engine manufac-
turer.
