Brakes; Serviceability; Rops/Seat Belt - Volvo DD29 Operator's Manual

BRAKES

Service brakes are dynamic hydrostatic through the propulsion system. The secondary brakes
are spring-applied, hydraulically released and are incorporated on both the front and rear
drums for safety, reliability and maintenance-free operation. The secondary brakes activate
automatically in the event of a power loss or can be activated by the operator with the park
brake switch or E-Stop switch.

SERVICEABILITY

A light weight hood lifts to provide easy access to the engine, filters, and hydraulic
components. The spring loaded drum wipers require little maintenance. A removable panel
provides additional access for extensive repair.

ROPS/SEAT BELT

The manufacturer provides ROPS (rollover protective structure) and seat belts as standard
equipment on all compactors. A foldable ROPS is available as optional equipment. ROPS
used in conjunction with seat belts will lessen the possibility of death or serious injury in the
event of a rollover.
Your life may be endangered if the following are not complied with:
DO NOT operate this machine if the Rollover Protection Structure (ROPS)
is structurally damaged, show cracks, is not properly secured as
originally installed, or has been involved in a rollover.
DO NOT repair, modify, drill, weld on or add attachments to the ROPS
unless authorized in writing by the manufacturer.
DO NOT operate the machine unless the seat belt conforming to SAE
and/or ASAE standards is fastened.
Contact your dealer for complete inspection requirements and
maintenance instructions.
