Ensure that the heater is switched off by turning the knob downwards. 3. With the engine on, switch on the air conditioning (fig.77/C Pos.”1”) and the fan (fig.77/C Pos.”2”).
rEVOLVING LIGHT SWITCH (fig.80/C Pos.”3”) The revolving light must always be positioned above the dri- ver’s cab (fig.81/C Pos. “2”) and must always be in operation both at the work site and when driving on roads. - Position the revolving light on the driver’s cab (fig.81/C Pos.”2”).
Mod. Apollo Getting to Know and Using the Vehicle bOOm HEAD LIGHT SWITCH (OpTIONAL) (fig.84/C Pos.”1”) Use the switch (fig.84/C Pos.”1”) to turn on the boom head light (fig.85/C Pos.”1”). The indicator light switches on to indicate successful activation. Two work lights, one on the right side and the other on the left side of the boom, can be installed upon client request.
bOOm HEAD SOLENOID VALVE (OpTIONAL) (fig.91/C Pos.”1”) The switch is only installed in the presence of the boom head solenoid valve (fig.91/C Pos.”1”). When using the solenoid valve it is possible to have divided hydraulic controls on the boom head. - Activate the push button (fig.90/C Pos.”A”) to power the solenoid valve, which will deviate oil flow.
Mod. Apollo Getting to Know and Using the Vehicle rEAr HyDrAULIC SOCKETS (OpTIONAL) (fig.93/C Pos.”1”) Located at the rear of the vehicle (fig.93/C Pos.”1”). - Press the relative switch to deviate oil to the rear hydraulic sockets (fig.92/C Pos.”1”). The indicator light on the same switch indicates start-up.
DUmp bODy LOWErING (OpTIONAL) The dump body lowering switch controls the solenoid valve which causes the discharging of the rear hydraulic socket and consequently the return of the extension of raising/lowering cylinder. Activate dump body lowering using the relevant switch (fig.96/C pos.”A”).
The heater is connected to its own control unit and maintains engine water at a temperature higher than the external temperature (in cold climates). In the event of malfunction contact a diEci service centre. - attEntion: Verify the good conditions of the power supply cable before starting up the device.
frONT HOOK (fig.103/C Pos.”A”) If located at the rear of the vehicle, it can have different load capacities depending on client needs. Consult the vehicle registration document to verify front hook load capacity. Capacity is limited for each vehicle by the authorised circu- lating weight, by the towing weight and by the vertical strain of the towing pin.
Mod. Apollo Getting to Know and Using the Vehicle TOWING HOOK (fig.104/C Pos.”A”) If located at the rear of the vehicle, it can have different load capacities depending on client needs. Consult the vehicle registration document to verify rear hook load capacity.
COUrTESy COmpArTmENT (fig.106/C) Located at the front of the vehicle is a courtesy compartment (fig.106/C Pos.”1”). Lift the front of the guard to open the compartment (fig.106/C Pos.”2”). The compartment can be padlocked with key/combination using own set-ups (fig.106/C Pos.”3”). In case of maintenance of front axle the compartment bottom can be removed by loosening the bolts.
Mod. Apollo Getting to Know and Using the Vehicle TOWING THE VEHICLE The vehicle may only be towed in an emergency and at low speed (max 4 km/hour) and for short distances (max 500 m). The operations to be carried out are as follows: - Put the gear in neutral.

GENERAL ALARm LED The emergency indicator light/general alarm occur: - in the event of engine error - if one of the indicator lights indicated in the table below should switch on - in the event of engine overrevving Engine error The engine has an electronic control unit that communicates directly with the central dashboard.
Mod. Apollo getting to Know and Using the vehicle integrated devices Engine errors The engine errors are signalled by the switch-on of the “general alarm LED” with acoustic signal (buzzer) lasting 1.5 seconds and display of the error code on the LCD (fig.206 Pos.”3”). The error will remain displayed until the operator presses key “1” (fig.206/C) or “2” (fig.206/C) for 3 sec. The “general alarm indicator” will stay on until the error has ceased. Pressing button “1” (fig.206/C) or “2” (fig.206/C) for 3 seconds, the error will no longer be displayed, but will be kept in the memory. Before displaying the second error, wait for 1 second. The presence of the error will be indicated by the buzzer for 1.5 seconds and the new error will be shown on the display. The same procedure must be used for all successive errors.

ENGINE bONNET OpENING (fig.1/D) The engine bonnet is equipped with an outer locking handle (fig.1/D Pos.”1”). To open: - Insert the key in the lock (fig.1/D Pos.”2”) and turn clock- wise/counter-clockwise to engage/disengage the lock. - Press button/lock (fig.1/D Pos.”2”) to release the bonnet with the lock disengaged.
- Clean any spillage. A slight lowering of the level is due to normal consumption of brake pads. If the brake pedal seems too ‘elastic’, contact your diEci dealer to have this fault corrected. - attEntion: Do not press the brake pedal until top-up has been completed.
- attEntion: In the event the parking brake fails do not use the vehicle. If the brake is not effective, contact your diEci dealer to have this fault corrected. Unauthorised modifications of the rear axle ratio, the vehi- cle weight, or wheel and tyre dimensions may compromise proper functioning of the parking brake.
“maintenance work under way”. - Remove the top up cap (fig.9/D Pos.”1”) and pour in the diEci recommended oil. Top up the quantity necessary to bring it back to level. Routine maintenance should be carried out at the prescribed intervals.
ChANGING hyDRAulIC OIl AND REplACING fIlTERS Routine maintenance should be carried out at the prescribed intervals. Inside the tank there is a mesh filter (fig.12/D Pos.”3”). This pre- vents any hazardous particles from entering the hydraulic system. The replacement of hydraulic oil and internal tank filters must always be carried out in order.
7. Clean the filter support with a clean cloth which will not leave felt, making sure the old sealing ring is removed. 8. Take the new diEci-approved filter. Lubricate with the same oil as used on the oil seal gasket.
fuEl TANk (Fig.22/D Pos.”1”) Cleaning For correct cleaning: 1. Stop the vehicle on a flat, level surface. 2. Switch off the engine and remove the ignition key, hang up a sign in the cab that reads “maintenance work under way”. 3.
(fig.26/D) If frequent top ups are necessary in normal working condi- tions, verify that there are no cooling system leaks. Contact a diEci after-sales centre if problems arise. - attEntion - Use demineralised water to fill the cooling system. Cal- careous water may cause incrustations and premature system ageing.

- attEntion: If the ventilation system malfunctions, check for filter clogging. In the event that malfunctions persist even after filter re- placement, contact a diEci service centre. - attEntion: Do not use the vehicle without a cab filter. Dust that enters the cab can cause health risks for the operator and ventilation system malfunction.
AIR CONDITIONING (OpTIONAl) Cleaning the system 1 Remove the protective carter (fig.41/D Pos”1”). 2. Clean the condenser (fig.41/D Pos”2”), directing the compressed air, at a maximum pressure of 7 bar, throu- gh the radiant mass, from the side opposite the normal air flow (fig.41/D).
