Maintenance
5.1 General notes on mainte-
nance
When performing maintenance work ensure strict
compliance with the respective safety instructions
and particularly the safety regulations mentioned
in chapter 2 of these operating and maintenance
instructions.
Thorough maintenance of the machine guaran-
tees far longer safe functioning of the machine and
prolongs the lifetime of important components.
The effort needed for this work is only little com-
pared with the problems that may arise when not
observing this rule.
Always clean machine and engine thoroughly
l
before starting maintenance work.
For maintenance work stand the machine on
l
level ground.
Perform maintenance work only with the motor
l
switched off.
Environment
During maintenance work catch all oils and fu-
els and do not let them seep into the ground or
into the sewage system. Dispose of oils and fu-
els environmentally.
Notes on the fuel system
The lifetime of the diesel engine mainly depends
on the purity of the fuel.
Keep fuel free of contaminants and water,
l
since this will damage the injection elements
of the engine.
Drums with inside zinc lining are not suitable to
l
store fuel.
Keep used filters in a separate waste contain-
l
er and dispose of environmentally.
The fuel drum must rest for a longer period of
l
time before drawing off fuel.
Under no circumstances must the drum be
l
rolled to the tapping point just before drawing
out fuel.
When choosing the storage place for fuel
l
make sure that spilled fuel will not harm the en-
vironment.
30
Do not let the hose stir up the slurry at the bot-
l
tom of the drum.
Do not draw off fuel from near the bottom of
l
the drum.
The rest in the drum is not suitable for the en-
l
gine and should only be used for cleaning pur-
poses.
Notes on the performance of the en-
gine
On diesel engines both combustion air and fuel in-
jection quantities are thoroughly adapted to each
other and determine power, temperature level and
exhaust gas quality of the engine.
If your engine has to work permanently in "thin air"
(at higher altitudes) and under full load, you should
consult the customer service of BOMAG or the
customer service of the engine manufacturer.
