Concise description of vehicle

The Load Haul Dumper is a vehicle with swivel-joint steering and hydrodynamic drive system, consisting
of the drive unit and payload unit.
The drive unit houses the drive system components, engine, converter, transmission, as well as the oil
cooler, tanks, hydraulic system components, brakes and the electrical equipment.
The driven axles are designed as rigid axles with differential gear and planetary gears in the axle ends.
The drivers cabin with its controls and instruments is arranged on the left-hand side of the vehicle, transverse to the tramming direction. The drivers seat is sprung and hydraulically cushioned.
The vehicle is steered by a hydraulic power steering system with one or two double-acting steering cylinders.
The service brake and the parking brake act on all four wheels. The service brake is executed as a dual
circuit braking system with a separate brake circuit for the front and rear axle. The parking brake is a
spring-actuated brake whose brake circuit works indepedently of the service brake.
The bucket and boom are linked to the payload unit. The bucket is tilted forward and backward by hydraulically operated dump/hoist cylinders. Control levers in the drivers cabin operate the boom and bucket.
The vehicle chassis is of welded construction, manufactured according to the applicable DIN standards
and the German Federal Railways DS 952 Code.

Proper use of LF-type loaders powered by diesel engines/electric motors
LF-type loaders made by GHH Fahrzeuge GmbH which are powered either by a diesel engine or electric
motor are suitable for underground loading, hauling and dumping of minerals in non explosion-hazardous
areas and in areas where no risk of mine gas formation exists. Proper use means that the loaders are
operated exclusively within specially identified and demarcated areas of work, as well as in areas not accessible to unauthorised staff. Loaders must be operated only by specially trained and instructed staff.
The notes and technical data contained in the operating and maintenance instructions form the basis for
safe operation of the loader and are part of the description for proper use of the loaders. For applications
other than those listed above and in the operating and maintenance instructions, the loading and operating
limits will in individual cases need to be agreed with the manufacturer and confirmed by him in writing.

2.1 Safety instructions for the
operation of vehicles made
by GHH Fahrzeuge GmbH
General safety instructions:
Please read these safety instructions as well as the
operating instructions carefully before the first starting of the machine and every now and then afterwards.
Handling of GHH Fahrzeuge GmbH vehicles and
the necessary operating material is uncomplicated
if you as the owner have trained the staff responsible for operation, maintenance and attendance
accordingly.
This survey can, of course, only contain general
instructions. Operational specialities may need
deviations or additional amendments. For this
reason these instructions have to be studied thoroughly by operators, supervisory staff, maintenance staff and safety specialists of the corresponding plants together and must be adapted and
amended where necessary.
Deviations from these general safety instructions
prepared by GHH Fahrzeuge GmbH are especially
explained in the operating instructions.
If there are any uncertainties in understanding these
instructions, please do not hesitate to contact our
service department (GHH Fahrzeuge GmbH;
phone +49 (0) 2 09 389 07-300; fax: +49 (0) 2 09
389 07-349).
In addition to these general safety instructions the
special safety instructions referring to the operating
mode of engine and of the vehicle are to be observed. For all work carried out on the vehicle please
observe special the safety instructions for maintenance work.
When operating the vehicle the local accident prevention codes are to be observed. The owner and
driver are responsible for compliance with such
codes.
If necessary, the owner has to amend such accident
prevention codes to reflect the local conditions of
operation.
Referring to the conditions of operation, the safety
instructions of the corresponding employers liability insurance association have to be observed. We
recommend the owner to insist on a written confirmation that the staff has read the operating and
maintenance instructions, these safety instructions
as well as the accident prevention codes and the
030050E
07.08

additional regulations which are to be applied locally

and that they have been trained accordingly. In
addition to this, staff members should always have
the above mentioned regulations at hand to re-read
them.
Because of the relatively high noise level generally
found at almost all operating places of our vehicles
caused by surrounding conditions, perceptive
faculty may be reduced. For this reason vehicles
are to be operated especially carefully at such places.
Get used to handling of the machine and its control
and safety equipment as well as to critical places.
Read in operating instructions where those places
are and how they are marked.
Before each starting check the vehicles functional
and operational safety.
If operational failures occur, find out the reason
immediately. Care for immediate remedy of discovered faults in order to prevent possible accident
hazards and major damage of the vehicle or its
systems. In case of serious defects (failure of brake
system etc.) shut down the vehicle immediately
until the remedy of such a fault is carried out.
Switch off electrical components where risks have
been discovered, especially fault current, undue
rise in temperature, appearance of smoke and electric arcs or which have become inaccessible. Inform
next supervisor or specialist for electrical equipment as soon as possible.
Switch off electrical equipment which is not allowed
to be operated and secure against starting at least
by means of warning signs in places where those
installations could be started. Furthermore make
means for propulsion or control of actuators of
remote controlled switches ineffective.
Faulty electrical equipment and operation material
may not be started or used before being repaired.
Make sure that nobody without special knowledge
will ever operate, maintain, repair or otherwise
handle the machine.
Before leaving the drivers compartment always
apply parking brake. Park the vehicle at a place with
plane surface without descent and without disturbing other operations.
Never allow the engine of the machine run unattended.
LF-9.3

2.1 - 1

GHH Fahrzeuge GmbH

The drivers undivided attention is necessary for
optimal working results and reliable operation of the
machine. For this reason never allow persons to
operate the machine whose reactivity is reduced.
The influence of alcoholic beverages, medicines
and other agents will reduce capability to react as
well as over-tiredness will do and thus the risk of
accidents will increase.

Warn people in range of danger with the horn. Stop

working, if people do not leave danger area in spite
of warning.
Never stay below lifted and unsecured loads or
machine parts.
For climbing up and down use handles and treads.

Always maintain the machine in technically faultless

condition.

Do not give people a lift on the machine or additional

equipment if there is no device especially designed
for this purpose by the manufacturer.

Care for sufficient level of operating material, especially for engine, gears, axles, converters, brake
systems hydraulic and lubrication equipment, as
well as in cooling circuits.

Keep all the vehicle clean from dirt, residual oil,

lubricant, fuel, and, if necessary, from snow and ice
etc., especially treads, platforms, actuation places,
glass panes etc.

Undue modifications and insufficient maintenance

will impair the machines function, operation safety
and serviceable life. For this reason care for compliance with required maintenance and inspection
intervals. If you want to carry out technical modifications of the machine, please contact GHH Fahrzeuge GmbH in any case in advance.

Only operate controls in drivers compartment from

drivers seat.

The machine is equipped with warning signs or

equipment at specific places of danger. Take care
for proper condition of this warning equipment.
Replace immediately in case of damage or illegibility.
Take special care of the proper condition of all protection and safety equipment on the machine. Do
not remove and replace immediately in case of
damage.
Safety equipment and protection and control installations of the vehicle necessary for safety may not
be made ineffective nor unduly adjusted or modified.
Take care that parts of the body, clothes etc. will not
enter danger area of moving parts.
Always wear close fitting, appropriate working clothes.
If necessary, make use of additional personal protection clothes (protection helmet, protection glasses, ear protection, protection shoes etc.)
Maintain your drivers compartment clean, dry and
clear.
Keep all persons not needed for the working process away from the machine when operating.
When operating the machine take care that nobody
and nothing is in its range of action (driving ways,
swivelling range of kinematics and steering system,
etc.). Take special care of areas with high danger of
crushing.
030050E
07.08

Only operate the machine within the load limits

given by the manufacturer. Undue overloading will
reduce the operating safety and service life of the
machine.
Do not switch off the vehicle immediately after high
loads but let it idle for a certain time if possible, so
that the temperature of systems and components
can be compensated.
Misuse of the complete machine or single devices
thereof may lead to damage and reduction of service life and means in any case: loss of warranty
claims and raise of risk of accidents.
Take special care of appropriate speed when driving
around bends. Besides this, always adjust your driving speed to surrounding conditions, especially to
surface conditions.
When driving around bends, avoid high acceleration and violent steering movements which may
lead to early sliding, reduction of stability, and even
to damage.
Take care for sufficient carrying capacity of the substructure, especially on bridges, vaults, and when
passing over tubes placed under the travel way and
driving in areas which are laterally declining.
Before using the machine, check its fitness for use
especially at working places previously unknown.
Always keep emergency call equipment and emergency material (first-aid box, fire extinguishing
equipment, etc.) ready for use in your immediate
vicinity.
Only authorized people may operate, use, and activate electrical installations and corresponding operating material.
As far as warning signs are fixed on cases of electrical installations, their rules are to be observed.

When towing another vehicle please take care of
the special instructions in the operating instructions
of both vehicles (e.g. hydrostatics, brake, etc.) and
use only the provided towing lugs and sufficiently
dimensioned towing equipment. Take care of the
required higher brake performance of the towing
vehicle, especially on declining ways with broken
down brake systems of the towed vehicle.
Only use original additional parts and spare parts
from GHH Fahrzeuge GmbH and lubricants and

030050E

Special safety instructions for mining and
tunnelling vehicles:

increase the risk of accidents and danger of tire

damage caused by uneven travelways.

Besides these safety instructions referring to a specific vehicle type, principally observe the general
safety instructions as well as the safety instructions
which correspond to operating mode of the engine.
For all work on the vehicle observe special safety
instructions for maintenance work.

If necessary, secure your load so that uncontrolled

sliding and connected risks of accidents (falling
down of load, turnover of the vehicle, etc.) as well
as shifting of the centre of gravity will be avoided.

Drive up ascents uphill if possible and avoid driving

transverely to the slope in order to avoid slipping
and overturning of the machine.
Take care that the admissible transverse and longitudinal inclination of the machine will not be exceeded.
Always maintain safety distances to stockpiles, pits,
etc..
Pay attention to the condition of stope faces and
especially of topbacks and possible danger caused
by falling or breaking rocks.
Maintain travelways as plane and boulderless as
possible.
Inform yourself about locations of dangerous and
endangering installations in your working area, as
for example high-voltage cables, pipework, electricity distributors, etc.
Care for too high water levels being pumped out.
When driving uphill and downhill care for a reasonable selection of gear respectively speed and thus
avoid superfluous risks of accidents, damage, overheating, and wear out of brakes and driving components. Too high gears may overstrain drive systems
(clutch, transmission, drivelines). Too high gears
during downhill driving require excessive use of brakes. Too high gears during uphill driving, especially
with high loading, result in an excessive rise of temperature of driving components. For this reason pay
attention to temperature indicators and select next
lower gear, if necessary.

Ensure sufficient height in the dumping place so

that crashing of body, bucket or dump/hoist linkage
against the roof will be avoided.
After dumping do not leave the dumping place
before bucket, fork and/or body are brought into
transportation position again.
Working places with special dangers, e.g. caused
by falling articles, require special safety measures
as e.g. remote control for unmanned operation of
the machine.
When working under lifted body, bucket or fork,
always apply safety bolts or supports provided for
safety. Safety bolts are located in the area of the
body or boom bearing.
If necessary, apply the swivel arresters of the swivel
hinge to reduce danger of crushing. Swivel arresters are provided in the area of the swivel hinge.
Park the machine fully unswivelled in straightahead position, preferably on plane surfaces without slopes. When standing on slopes, always park
the machine in a manner such that uncontrolled rolling will be avoided even if holding devices are loosened unintentionally (e.g., with the side of the
vehicle away from the drivers cab swivelled
towards the material face).
Before leaving the machine apply parking brake and
switch off engine. In addition to this make sure that
unauthorized operation will be impossible, e.g. by
withdrawing ignition key. When leaving loaders for
a long time, put bucket or fork to the ground and in
addition to this secure against rolling (e.g. put
chocks in front of wheels).

Carry out transport journeys only in transport mode,

i.e. with completely lowered body/boom, retracted
bucket, fork, etc.

Secure your parked vehicle especially at blind places with much traffic optically to avoid accidents
e.g. crashes.

If piles in body or bucket are too steep, this may lead

to falling out of rocks or conveyed material and thus

For electrically operated machines observe corresponding safety instructions.

GHH Fahrzeuge GmbH

Special safety instructions for Fahrlader type
loaders

If possible, carry our loading only with a completely

stretched machine. With swivelled machine, working results will be reduced and the risk of sliding will
increase.
Pay attention, especially during loading, for sliding
and falling rocks or loaded material from the loading
place as well as from the bucket.
Carry out loading principally with lowered lifting
equipment and lowered bucket. Doing this you will
avoid the risk of rocks falling from the bucket onto
the drivers compartment.

030080E
07.08

Emptying the loading place from sides to centre will

avoid lateral sliding of loading material to the
machine, which could encumber the wheels and
would bring you closer to the dangerous area.
Empty the loading place as continuously as possible and with a straight front so that loading material
may slide down slowly and continuously.
If possible, execute dumping only at places without
transverse inclination and with a stretched
machine. With raised boom avoid high acceleration
and deceleration by starting and braking as well as
violent steering movements. If these instructions
are not observed, stability can no longer be guaranteed, danger of turning over arises. In addition to
this, danger caused by loading material falling down
from the bucket will increase.

Drivers seat

The drivers cab is equipped with a mechanically suspended drivers seat. To prevent health damage, the
drivers seat must be adjusted to the drivers body before starting the vehicle.
The restraint belt must be used at all times. The belt should be worn as tight as possible to the body. After
an accident the restraint belt must be replaced and the drivers seat and the fastening of the drivers seat
inspected by qualified personnel.

Drivers cab, operating elements and control instruments

All the instruments and control instruments necessary to operate the vehicle are arranged in the drivers
cab. The speed adjustment of the driving engine and therefore the adjustment of the driving speed is effected via the right-hand pedal and the operation of the service brake via the left-hand pedal. The built-in
steering wheel is tiltable. The control lever is located on the left side of the steering column. The boom
and the bucket are operated with the control switch (S84) and the gearshift mechanism with the lever that
is located on the left beside the instrument panel.
Changing steering direction
The steering direction of the vehicle thus corresponds to the sense of rotation of the steering wheel, independent of the tramming direction.

Warning

If the speeds in the individual gear steps fall below the minimum values specified for
the shifting point, this will cause excessive heating in the converter-transmission circuit
and consequently cause damage to the converter and the transmission.

In accordance with the shifting points for shifting down, the following gradient ranges can be travelled
in the individual gear steps:

Tramming on downhill slopes
Tramming on downhill slopes is preferably carried out with the engine part up front. During downhill driving
this driving direction allows for a better distribution of the axle loads and also prevents axle lift-off caused
by front-drooping.
Tramming on downhill slopes always begins with the lowest gear appropriate for the gradient.
Via the drive train the engine will keep the vehicle at a uniform speed.
-

Never allow vehicle to roll opposite the selected tramming direction.

Tramming on downhill slopes must never be done using the service brake. The brake will overheat !!

On all ranges of downhill slopes, for the same load (empty/laden), maximum the same gear and maximum the same driving speed as on uphill slopes shall be selected.

When the speed increases change to next lower gear.

In the individual gears the maximum speed indicated in the technical data must not be exceeded.

When changing down to a lower gear, first brake to the switching gear using the service brake.

Warning

030162E
07.08

After changing to a lower gear, the rotational speed at the converter output/transmission
input is doubled (at least for a short time).
As a reference, the engine speed for changing to a lower gear is < 800 min-1.

Downhill driving in converter mode
When driving downhill in converter mode the engine idles, which means the speed adjusting mechanism
is not operated. In the process, the engine brakes the converters pump wheel. This causes the turbine
wheel to rotate faster than the pump wheel, with the torque converter reversing and the dumper braked
via the engine, torque converter, transmission, drivelines and axles.
Warning

The brake power is converter into heat and the converter-transmission oil heated up.
The converter-transmission oil temperature indicator therefore has to be
watched.
Should the vehicles maximum converter oil temperature be exceeded, brake it by operating the service brake and allow engine to cool down at idling speed.

In pushing mode, the converter output/transmission input speed is substantially higher than the engine
speed, as indicated at the revolution counter.
Warning

In pushing mode, the speed at the converter output/transmission input is about twice
as high as the engine speed.
Therefore, the maximum admissible engine speed is 1500 min-1.

Note

For extensive driving on downhill slopes, sustained-action brakes (exhaust brakes, retarder brakes) should be used, or else a detrimental heat-up within the converter-transmission system may arise.

You must not exceed the speed at the several gears above the limits as listed below:

Towing the vehicle

Note

Tow the vehicle only at walking speed and over short distances.

In the event of towing over a long distance or over a road gradient section proceed in compliance with the
indications on page 2.6 - 6.
Warning

When the engine is not running, the vehicle cannot be steered.

For towing use only the towing lugs provided and sufficiently dimensioned towing aids.
Make sure that the towing vehicle has the required brake power.

Warning

To avoid chafing of the parking brake in case of too low a release pressure, a manometer
must be installed at test connectors B7.1 and B7.2. If the indicated pressure falls below
120 bar, this causes severe chafing, which may result in heating or even destruction
of the brake.
Towing in compliance with the indications on page 2.6 - 6.

Warning

During towing, monitor the brake pressure present for the service and parking brake on
the manometers in the drivers cab and on test connectors B7.1 and B7.2.

Caution

If the brake pressure for the srvice barke drops below 100 bar, a safe stop with the service brake is no longer guaranteed. The towing procedure must be immediately interrupted and if necessary executed in accordance with the indications on page 2.6 - 6.

A precondition for towing is an operational brake system and a sufficient available brake pressure in the
brake circuits of the service brake.
-

Secure vehicle against any self-initiated movements.

Check brake pressure on the manometers in the drivers cab and test connectors B7.1 and B7.2.
Warning

The available brake pressure for the service and parking brakes must be greater than
120 bar.

Place gearshift in neutral position. Switch on operating voltage and release parking brake.

Remove vehicle blocks and tow the vehicle.

Caution

Safe towing is not possible when the brake system is not operational, i.e. when the available brake pressure for the service brake is insufficient, when the towing vehicle has
a different brake system or as a result of removed component parts.

Warning

If the driving engine fails but the brake system is operational, the parking brake can be
released via the emergency release function (see 3.16 - 5) for towing and single stopping of the vehicle with the parking brake.

Filling of brake system for towing of vehicle
The hydraulic brake system is supplied from the hydraulic reservoir via a hydraulic pump flanged onto the
torque converter.
For towing a vehicle whose brake system does not contain sufficient brake pressure, the vehicles brake
system can be filled by that of the towing vehicle.
Warning

Provided both vehicles are fitted with the same brake system.

Oil is fillled in via the B4 test fittings. A DN 4 hose with suitable connecting couplers is required for this
purpose.
The following work operations are required:
-

Secure vehicle against any self-initiated movements.

Top up hydraulic oil on the hydraulic tank of the towing vehicle to maximum level.

Warning

With each braking operation hydraulic oil is pumped from the brake system of the towing
vehicle into that of the towed vehicle. It is therefore important to ensure that the hydraulic oil in the hydraulic reservoir of the towing vehicle does not fall below the minimum
level.

Decrease available brake pressure of brake system by pumping with the brake pedal. This has to be
done on both vehicles.

First connect filling hose to connection B4 of the vehicle being towed and vent hose by starting the
engine. (Hydraulic oil comes out bubble-free).

Connect hose to test fitting B4 of vehicle to be towed.

Restart engine of towing vehicle and charge brake system of both vehicles.

Turn on the electrical master and control switch of the vehicle to be towed. The service and parking
brakes are now ready for operation.

Remove the protections provided to secure the vehicle against rolling away.

Place gearshift in neutral position. Release parking brake and tow the vehicle.

Caution

At the end of the towing operation the hydraulic oil level on the hydraulic tank has to be
corrected on both vehicles.

Note

Before the filling hose is removed, the brake pressure in the brake system of both vehicles must be reduced simultaneously by pumping with the parking or service brake.

Dump/hoist operation

Control of dump/hoist equipment

The boom and bucket operations are controlled by the control switch arranged on the right side of the instrument box.
The stroke of the control switch is proportional to the speed at which the dump/hoist operation is performed, i. e. the further the control switch is shifted out from its middle position, the faster the desired boom/
bucket operation is performed.

Bucket filling
-

Brake loader in straight-ahead position in front of the pile.

Lower the boom to its stop, tip bucket forward until it is a few centimeters above the ground.

Engage forward gear.

Drive evenly into the pile. Give full acceleration when the bucket penetrates the pile.

Warning

Avoid ramming the pile. The bucket should be introduced as far into the pile as is necessary to fill it.

Avoid spinning of wheels. Observe front wheels. If they start to spin, tip back bucket by inducing light
jerking movements on the control switch/operating lever. This will reduce penetration resistance and
increase the load on the wheels.

Before the front wheels enter the pile, the bucket should be fully tipped back and loaded.

Bucket filling (floating position)

For loading on uneven ground fully depress control switch/operating lever or respectively, press button
in control switch (see 2.7 - 1). This will set the bucket to the floating position. In this position the directional
control valve is on free flow. The bucket adapts to the uneven ground as a result of the external forces
acting on it.

Emptying the bucket

-

Travel to the dumping point. Before reaching the dumping point use service brake to brake the loader
and raise the bucket to the necessary height for tipping it forward.

Set gear shift lever to neutral position.

Tip bucket forward

Tip back empty bucket and at the same time lower the boom to the stop.

Safety instructions for

maintenance and servicing

Warning

The warranty is immediately void if

any anti-tamper seals or paint seals
attached to the vehicle systems are
detached or destroyed.

The general safety instructions do principally apply

for this chapter as well. The following text consists
of important regulations and additional instructions
for maintenance in order to introduce the necessary
knowledge to prevent accidents with damage of
people, material, and environment. Besides these
regulations also observe regulations which refer to
operation mode of the machine and type of vehicle.
If an accident happens in spite of all precautions,
especially caused by contact with caustic acid,
penetration of fuel into the skin, scalding with hot oil,
antifreeze compound in the eyes, etc. attend a
doctor immediately.
Please let only authorized and trained personal
used to necessary working procedures carry out
adjusting, lubricating, and maintenance work.
Do only use safe tools and working equipment.
Keep clean working place, tools, and operating
equipment.
Park vehicle on plane, dry surface without slopes.
Secure vehicle against self-contained movements
and unauthorized starting.
Carry out lubricating and maintenance work only
with stopped machine. Switch off all propulsion systems, bring additional equipment in inoperative
position.
Carry out lubricating and maintenance work during
which oil and grease may drain off the machine only
in places equipped with oil separators, or use suitable large and unmistakably identified vessels.
Make absolutely sure that oil, fuel, coolant etc do
not penetrate the soil or pass into the sewage system. Danger of drinking water pollution.
Used filter elements or cartridges, coolants and
refrigerants, batteries and other substances hazardous to humans and the environment must be
handled as special waste according to governmental regulations.
Ensure environmentally friendly disposal or recycling of waste material.
Ensure adequate installation of all parts. Replace
worn out, damaged, and unsafe parts.
030253E
07.08

Any changes to load-bearing components, i.e. parts

located in the flow of forces exerted by loads (frame,
kinematic linkage, etc.) must only be made after
written consent of MAN GHH Fahrzeuge GmbH.
This applies in particular to repair welds, torch-cutting and the arrangement of additional or modified
mounting parts.
Switch off the engine for all maintenance work
which does not necessarily require a working
machine and withdraw ignition key. Allow machine
to cool down.
If the operation of certain components of the
machine is necessary for maintenance work, pay
special attention to the related risks (burns, scalds,
poisoning, cauterization, crushing, rotating parts,
chain and belt drives, etc.)
Secure doors and gates provided for carrying out
maintenance work after opening. Secure turning,
swivel and pendulum hinges and joints with provided bolts, brackets, or supports.
Support or mark parts of the machine which have to
be lifted for maintenance work.
Only apply lifting equipment and supporting stands
with sufficient carrying capacity and valid permit.
Never stay under pending loads.
When maintaining or repairing the machine take
care for parts of the machine which are supported
by auxiliary force (oil pressure, compressed air) or
by spring force. Reduce pressures and spring powers and secure parts against undesired movements.
Only work on depressurized hydraulic and pneumatic systems. Take also care for secondary storage systems. Do neither tighten nor loosen pressurized screwed connection of pipework or flexible
tubes!
Only drain liquids at places provided for this purpose out of depressurized installations into suitable
containers and dump without harm for environment.
Be careful with units which become very hot when
operating and thus need a long time to cool down,
danger of burning!
Only work on de-energized electrical installations.
Pull out switch lever at battery main switch or switch
off main switch, or disconnect earth cable of the battery.
LF-9.3

3.1 - 1

GHH Fahrzeuge GmbH

Basically the following rules apply for work on electrical installations:
-

Disconnect from power supply

Secure against reconnection

Determining dead voltage

Earthing and shorting

Cover up any adjacent live parts

Plug and socket connections should only be disconnected and reconnected with the voltage
switched off.

When carrying out welding, cutting and grinding,

special attention is to be paid to inflammability of
inflammable materials (oil, grease, fuel, varnish,
rubber, etc.).
When removing protective coatings, zinc layers,
etc. by means of grinding, burning, or when welding
parts which are covered with such corrosion protection layers, health endangering gases, smokes, and
floating particles may arise. Use necessary protection equipment and, if possible, work outside, in well
ventilated rooms and with suction installations.
Please see further instructions for welding in special
instruction sheets and regulations for prevention of
accidents for welders.

It is prohibited at any time to store any parts especially tools, installation material, clothes, etc. in the
dangerous vicinity of unsecured, uninsulated parts
which are connected to the power supply

Observe manufacturers instructions for handling of

batteries. Accumulator acid is caustic and toxic,
battery gases are explosive.

The use of mended or bypassed fuses is prohibited.

Observe regulations for operation of three-phase

generators, see subsection Electrical equipment
and engine manufacturers operating instructions.

It is not allowed to connect parts to the feeder cable

of machines fitted with cable reel.
Damaged feeder cables must be replaced immediately.
Before starting work on high-voltage capacitors
make sure:
-

The capacitors have cooled down

Make absolutely sure they are fully discharged

Before touching active parts earth and short

each capacitor lead (phase(s) with the relevant
devices (See VDE 0450-T4/5d and IEC
871-1/Point 21).

Dismantled capacitors for transport or storage,

permanently short the connections and connect
to the capacitor housing.

In the event of damage it is possible the capacitor housing may crack, therefore proceed with
extreme care.

When carrying out welding work on the machine,

disconnect battery and electronic control units.
Warning

Plug and socket connections on the

driver position and on electronic
components (e.g. E-gas, control
units of the engine electronics)
should be separated before welding.

When welding take care that the earthing terminal

of the welding apparatus is near the welding point
and that welding current is not led through bearings,
earthing wire of the vehicle, etc.
030253E
07.08

Change oil at operating temperature. High danger

of burning or scalding with hot oil, oil drainage
screws and oil filter!
Open coolant circuit only when engine is cooled
down. Cooling systems are pressurized when hot,
hot coolants may lead to scalding. If opening at
operating temperature is absolutely necessary, see
engine manufacturers operating instructions.
If there is danger of freezing, drain coolant and
water circulation pump if necessary, when engine is
not in use.
Never fill cold cooling liquid into an overheated
engine.
When using compressed air, e.g. for cleaning air filters etc., wear protective glasses.
When dealing with damage or checking high-pressure systems, e.g. injectors, keep parts of your
body, especially hands and face away from pressure jets. Liquids under high pressure may have the
same effects as cutting tools.
Replace damaged flexible protection tubes or flexible pressure tubes immediately. Faulty flexible
tubes represent especially high danger of bursting
and scalding and danger from pressure jets.
The period of use of a flexible tube, including any
storage period of the flexible-tube line, should not
exceed six years, with the period of storage alone
not to exceed two years.
Do not inhale oil and fuel mist, battery gases, coolant and vapours from exhaust scrubber.
Never operate vehicle components without prescribed operating material. Take care for filling levLF-9.3

3.1 - 2

els of oils, coolants, etc. especially in engine, gearbox, converter, axles, brake system, hydraulic and
lubrication installation as well as coolant circuits.

When filling the tires never stand beside the wheel

because you may be endangered by snap rings
coming off.

Never exceed filling levels, especially for motor oil.

Have only specially trained people carry out repairs

of tires, especially mounting and dismantling to and
from wheel rims. Snap rings may often be prestressed to a very high extent and are to be handled
with special care.

Never operate pumps unlubricated and without

pumped fluids.
Always make sure that check and supervisory
devices work faultlessly (charge control, oil pressure, coolant temperature, etc.).
Do only demand as much from the engine as it has
to perform when properly employed. Please see
detailed information in sales documents.
Modifications of setpoints preset by the manufacturer, especially injection pumps, current limiters,
and pressure limiters of hydraulic units, may only be
executed after written consent of GHH Fahrzeuge
GmbH.

030253E
07.08

Never carry out work with open flames, welding,

cutting and flame-cutting of wheel rims as long as
tires are still mounted.
Some of the parts or operating materials in the
machines which are absolutely necessary for
operation are hazardous for humans and the environment. Therefore observe operating instructions
and manufacturers instructions on enclosures,
stickers and manuals.

Maintenance and servicing

Warning

Trouble-free operation and a long service life require regular and proper maintenance
and servicing.

Warning

The warranty is immediately void if any anti-tamper seals or paint seals attached to the
vehicle systems are detached or destroyed.

Regular maintenance and servicing

The time for carrying out this type of work depends on the vehicle operating hours. See Checklist-regular
maintenance according to service hours.
Irregular maintenance and servicing
The irregular work is divided into the following subgroups:
-

Maintenance and servicing of new vehicles, after a basic overhaul, after installation of replaced components, etc. up to the time at which regular work is to be carried out.

Maintenance and servicing of individual components which are particularly affected by varying operating conditions.

Maintenance and servicing work which cannot either be determined by the number of operating hours,
or whose intervals deviate from the usual apportioning into the number of operating hours.

Special measures for operation at low temperatures see 2.8 - 1 winter operation.

General remarks
The work specified in the check lists will be detailed in the various sections of the maintenance and servicing instructions.
Various items of the specified work may involve identical work steps. To avoid repetitions in the descriptions, these work steps are described below.
-

Safety at work
Note safety instructions for maintenance and servicing.

Cleaning the vehicle

Before starting any work, clean components located in the respective work area. The selection of the
proper cleaning agent depends on the material of the parts to be cleaned. For example, rubber or electrical parts should not be cleaned with benzene or steam jet.

After cleaning with steam jet, lubricate all bearings.

Covering all mounting areas

To avoid the ingress of dirt, cover all open bores, connections and housings in a suitable manner immediately.

Corrosion protection
Touch up damaged painted surfaces, grease bright spots regularly.

Exchanging parts (in-shrunk bushings see Section 3.2 - 3)

Exchange defective parts in good time to avoid major damage.

Protecting the electrical system

Where the danger of electric conductors coming into contact with tools, spare parts, vehicle frame, etc.
exists, turn off the main switch.

Checking of oil level

Unless indicated otherwise, the oil level is to be checked invariably on an even surface and after the
engine has been at standstill for approx. 10 minutes.

Oil change
Drain oil from warm components only. Clean surrounding of the filling port. Fill up oil from clean containers only. Do not remove strainers from filling ports.
Check oil level after a brief trial run.

Check sealing elements

When removing caps, plug screws, etc., pay attention to existing sealing elements. Replace seal rings,
if required. Upon re-assembly make sure that they are properly seated.

Check sealing faces

Prior to re-assembly, clean all sealing surfaces and check for leaks after assembly.

Check locking elements

Pay attention to existing locking elements while disassembling parts (lock washers, cotter pins, etc.).
Check locking elements and replace, if required.

Lubrication
Clean grease fittings before and after lubrication. Remove any excess grease from lubrication points.

Cold shrinking by nitrogen
For the processing of parts which are made from steel, bronze and polyester resin fabric-type compound
materials and which are to be cold-shrunk by liquid nitrogen, observation of the following safety notes
and processing sequences is mandatory:

Safety notes
Liquid nitrogen has a temperature of -196C, which is why any contact with liquid nitrogen and undercooled
material must be avoided. To do so, protective clothing suiting the requirements (but at least protective
goggles and protective gloves) shall be worn.
Liquid nitrogen may be processed in well-ventilated rooms only, so as to avoid lack of oxygen caused by
the breathing air being enriched with too much nitrogen. Gaseous nitrogen is a colourless, tasteless and
odourless gas contained in the normal ambient atmosphere at a rate of 78%. Provided that sufficiently
large amounts of fresh air are supplied, the nitrogen, which upon heating of the frigorific mixture has changed to the gaseous phase, poses no special risk.
Inserting and withdrawing work pieces should preferably be done with the help of equipment made from
materials tough at subzero temperatures, such as hemp ropes, copper wire, tongs and hooks made of
suitable stainless steel grades (1.4541), as far as these are subjected to the influence of liquid nitrogen.
When exposed to subzero temperatures, ordinary structural steels lose their toughness and become coldbrittle.

Preparation and execution of shrink joint:

The dimensions of the insulating tank to be used should preferably match the work piece. The work piece
to be cooled down is submerged into liquid nitrogen. On account of the high differential temperature this
will first cause vigorous boiling of the nitrogen bath. While the bath cools down, the shrink-joint surface
must remain evenly wetted with liquid nitrogen. As soon as boiling stops, the work piece has shrinkage
temperature any may be removed from the bath. Cooling-down times depend on the material and on the
work piece dimensions. For steel, e.g., the estimative values in the table below apply:

Wall thickness/diameter in mm

50

100

200

Immersion time in minutes

10

20

Warning

The maximum admissible immersion time for sleeves made of polyester-resin fabrictype compound materials is 10 minutes.

After its removal from the bath, the work piece must be processed immediately, i.e., positioned as shown
in the fabrication documents and fixed in the specified position, if any. What must be observed especially
with smaller, thin-walled work pieces is that these may adjust to the ambient temperature and therefore
lose their joining tolerance already after a short time.
While joining undercooled materials, no impacts must be applied to the work piece, as this would increase
the materials sensibility to brittle fracture

Air intake system

Note

The vehicle is equipped with a dry-air filter. Whenever the filter is serviced, the connecting points of the intake pipes have to be checked for leaks.

The dry air filter is equipped with an integrated pre-separator, a 6-stage vacuum indicator and, depending
on the type, a main and safety element. The main element respectively main element and safety element
must also be replaced outside the maintenance intervals as soon as the display of the underpressure indicator changes to the red area.
Note

The maximum service life of the main element must not exceed one year.
Damaged filter elements and seals must be in any case be replaced forthwith.

Note

With every third maintenance of the main element, the safety element, if present, must
be replaced as well. The number of maintenances must be marked on the safety element, e.g. by means of a bar drawn with a felt-tip pen.

Depending on the filter type, either a dust collecting vessel or a dust discharge valve is fitted.
-

Dust collecting vessel (2) (fig. 1)

Dust discharge valve (5) (fig. 2).

To protect the paper cartridge from overloading, the dust collecting vessel should be emptied when half
full, however, at least once a day. For emptying, remove the lid of the dust collector (see fig. 3). On this
filter type, however, the discharge slot of the dust discharge valve should be cleaned periodically. Any
baked dust that may be present must be removed by compressing the valve.

Filter servicing includes following operations:

Note

All maintenance work on the air intake system must be carried out with the engine
turned off. Do not start the engine when the main element has been removed.

Loosen clamp ring (9) and remove the dust collector (1) or loosen the wing nuts on the lid (4) and remove the main element (2). The safety element (3) remains in the filter housing.

Dispose of the main element in accordance with the applicable regulations. Clean the filter housing,
especially the sealing area for the main element, using a damp cloth.

Note

With every third replacement of the main element (2) the safety element (3) must be removed and replaced as well.
Note

The main element (2) may be cleaned up to 6 times. Cleaned elements are, however,
no longer covered by the warranty. To protect the engine, we recommend the use of new
main elements.

The safety element must not be cleaned and reused.

Cleaning with compressed air

A pipe with its end angled at 90 should be fitted to the air pistol for cleaning the filter cartridge with
compressed air. The pipe should be long enough to reach the element bottom. Blow out the main element from the inside to the outside using compressed air of max. 5 bar until no more dust is formed.

Warning

Never wash or brush out the main element. When blowing out, make sure that no dust
gets on the inside of the main element.

Prior to fitting, the cleaned main element should be checked for any damage.

Install main element respectively main element and safety element.

Fit dust collector and secure with clamp ring or screw on lid with the wing nuts.

Reset vacuum indicator (6) to its initial position by pressing the reset button (7). The indicator in the
display window (8) changes to green.

Drivelines

The vehicle is fitted with three driveline assemblies:

Converter--transmission
Transmission--front axle
Transmission--rear axle
Maintenance of drivelines
All drivelines are fitted with taper grease fittings. Each universal joint is lubricated by one grease fitting;
a third fitting serves for lubrication of the spline profile, which is dispensed with where plastic-coated length
equalisers are provided. Pedestal and flange bearings are each fitted with a grease fitting.

Double-joint drivelines with locating bearing

These double-joint drivelines consist of two individual joints whose outer carriers are connected to each
other by a locating bearing in an articulated arrangement. Both individual joints and the locating bearing
are each furnished with a grease fitting.

Lubrication
Drivelines and intermediate bearing points have to be greased at regular intervals according to the manufacturers maintenance instructions. As the lubrication path extending within the spider and through the
spaces between the rolling elements is long and narrow, the grease takes time to expand. Only slow greasing at low pressure will ensure a uniform distribution of the grease.
Warning

030473E
07.08

Clean grease fittings before lubrication!

Use only lithium-saponified greases!
Lubricate needle bearings until used grease comes out at the rubber seals.
To prevent damage to the seals, avoid pressure shocks while greasing.

GHH Fahrzeuge GmbH

Universal joints with pressure relief valve
Drive lines with universal joints of special design are provided with a pressure relief valve located next to
the grease fitting. Because of the special-design sealing, the gaskets must be protected from damage due
to excessive pressure when lubricating is performed.
For this reason, this type of drive line requires stopping of the greasing operation when grease emerges
at the pressure relief valve.
Whenever lubrication is performed, the drivelines must be checked for external damage and the universal
joints for inadmissible clearance. The bolted connections of the drivelines must be checked for firm seating.
Warning

Replace damaged drivelines immediately. Repaired drivelines must be balanced.

Lubricants
For lubrication use only lithium-saponified greases with a penetration of 265/295 and a thawpoint of approx. 180C. The lubricants must not contain any MoS2 additives.

Diaphragm accumulator

Warning

When using diaphram accumulators (pressure vessels), attention must, as a matter of

principle, be paid to the pressure vessel regulations in force in the country in question.

The diaphram accumulators are preloaded with nitrogen to a predefined pressure. As certain gas losses
occur during operation, it is necessary to check and, when appropriate, correct the preload pressure at
regular intervals. The periods for the periodic tests must be determined by the operator in accordance with
the legal provisions.
Because of its safety-critical function and taking into account the service conditions, the diaphragm accumulator shall not be used for more than three years. Experience may, however, show that it needs to be
replaced at shorter intervals.

Caution

Prior to working on equipment fitted with diaphram accumulators, it is essential to reduce the pressure in the appropriate system.

Caution

The gas preload pressure may be corrected by authorized personnel only.

Only nitrogen may be used at the filling gas.
Risk of explosion if oxygen or air is used.

Note

The diaphram accumulator filling device for checking or correcting the preload pressure
is obtainable from our after-sales service department.

Functional description of hydraulic brake system
Pressure supply system
The operating fluid is tapped from the hydraulic tank. For pressure supply a gear pump (1) is flanged to
the torque converter.
Via the suction line the hydraulic oil is drawn from the hydraulic reservoir and directed via the line filter
(2), the shut-off valve (3) and the hydraulic block (720) to the diaphragm accumulators.
After the cut-off pressure is reached, the shut-off valve (3) redirects the entire pump flow to the hydraulic
reservoir via the cooling system of the multi-disk brakes and the pressure filter incorporated into the return
line to the hydraulic reservoir.
After the cut-off pressure has fallen by approx. 15%, the diaphragm accumulators are recharged via the
shut-off valve (3).
The pressure is indicated to the drive by a pressure gauge (9). At a pressure drop to below the cut-in pressure, the Available pressure signal lamp in the drivers cabin lights up as a warning, turned on by the
pressure switch (32) (S53).
The pressure relief valve (10) protects the whole system against excess pressures.

Service brake
To operate the service brake, the brake pedal (5) is depressed. The hydraulic pressure controlled by the
force exerted by the foot flows via circuits I+II to the front-axle brakes and rear-axle brakes. As the brakes
are released, the brake pressure is decreased towards the hydraulic tank.
A mechanical stop on the running plate limits the brake pressure and a further stop ensures the pressureless condition of the service brake.
Residual brake pressure monitoring
Connection 24 of the pedal-type brake valve has a built-in pressure switch (31) (S52). At a hydraulic
brake pressure of 3-6 bar, this switch causes the indicator light service brake to be displayed in the drivers field of vision.
This device is intended to remind the driver to take his foot off the brake pedal after each braking operation.

Caution

In case the foot remains slightly leaned against the brake pedal after braking, a residual
brake pressure will remain. This pressure causes severe dragging which will heat up
the brakes and may lead to their destruction.

Blocking of forward and reverse tramming

The brake has a built-in pressure relief valve (27), which, after applying the service brake and upon reaching the pressure set on the valve, emits a pulse in order to enable the forward/reverse interlock.
Prior to each driving direction change you must step on the service brake, with the gearshift lever in neutral, and hold it until the gearshift pressure is reached. The hydraulic interlock of the gearshift mechanism
is then deactivated via the pressure limiting valve (27).

External cooling of multi-disk brakes

Caution

Operation without cooling will destroy the multi-disk brakes.

The pump flow is distributed via the shut-off valve (3) for charging of the diaphragm accumulator and cooling of the disk brakes. With filled diaphragm accumulators of the pressure supply system, the entire pump
flow is routed via the shut-off valve (3) to the distributor block (722) where the hydraulic pressure is built
up and evenly distributed over the multidisk brakes via 4 nozzles (23).
The cooling flow is introduced at the centre of the multi-disk brake and flows through the disks. Through
the outlet arranged on top the cooling flow is returned to the transmission oil sump. A sufficient oil flow
is a precondition for cooling of the disk brakes.
Fouling of the nozzles or any restriction in the cooling pipes causes the built-up pressure in the distributor
block to rise.
Warning

If the LCB cooling dynamic pressure as measured during maintenance should be in

excess of the maximum pressure indicated in the system drawing, check the cooling
system and repair a fault.

In case the nozzles should be clogged completely, the pump flow returns to the hydraulic tank via the pressure relief valve (10) and the brakes are uncooled.
This is indicated to the driver by the pressure as indicated by the pressure gauge (9) rising to 180 bar.
To avoid damage to the seals of the disk brake, the cooling pressure within the brake housing shall not
exceed 1.0 bar at high idling speed.

Monitoring of line filter

To protect the brake system against damage caused by contamination, a line filter (2) with a fine-filter element is mounted between the gear pump (1) and the shut-off valve (3). An optical maintenance indicator
is used for monitoring the filter contamination. Increasing contamination of the filter element results in an
increased differential pressure between the inlet and outlet side. As soon as the differential pressure has
reached the max. permissible value, the maintenance indicator indicates that the filter element has to be
replaced.

Warning

3_16-2_5E
07.08

If further contamination causes the differential pressure to increases beyond the max.
permissible value, the built-in safety valve will open to allow the medium to flow unfiltered into the brake system circuit. This may cause damage to the components of this
system and lead to failure of the service brake.

LF-9.3

3.16 - 3

GHH Fahrzeuge GmbH

Monitoring on pressure filter
To protect the hydraulic system from contamination damage, a pressure filter (42) and a pressure switch
(S47.2) have been built into the return line from the brake system to the hydraulic reservoir. The pressure
switch (33) (S47.2) is used for monitoring the return pressure (filter contamination). If the pressure present
at the pressure switch increases beyond 0.6 bar, the indicator light (H8) return pressure/brake filter lights
up weakly to indicate that the filter element must be replaced. To prevent the filter element from bursting,
the latter cuts out when an excess pressure is present to let the oil flow unfiltered into the hydraulic reservoir. This may result in damage to all hydraulic components.

Parking brake
Warning

When exiting the drivers cab the parking brake should, as a rule, be applied manually
via the control lever.

To release the parking brake, pull the control lever out of the detent and move forward. From connection
2 of the hand brake valve (19) the hydraulic release pressure flows to the spring accumulator cylinder
and neutralises the spring force acting on the parking brake.
When applying the parking brake the pressure towards the hydraulic reservoir is reduced via the hand
brake valve (19). To apply the parking brake, move the control lever backward until it locks into place.
The vehicle may only be moved when the parking brake is completely released.

Caution

If the parking brake is not released completely there will remain a residual brake pressure. This pressure causes significant scuffing, which may heat up and even destroy
the brakes.

The pressure switch (30 (S51) activates the indicator light parking brake in the drivers cab to indicate
that the parking brake is not released completely.

Emergency release of parking brake

Caution

Emergency release of the parking brake may only be performed on an operational parking brake system. After the emergency release only restricted operation without cooling
of the brakes will be possible.

In case of a driving engine failure, the parking brake can be released by means of the hand pump fitted
on the right side and after checking the release pressure indicated on the manometer.
Warning

Prior to the emergency release, check the oil level in the hydraulic reservoir and top up
to the Max. mark, if necessary.

Secure the vehicle against rolling away.

Place gearshift in neutral, switch on operating voltage and put lever for the parking brake in the release
position.

Plug the lever on the fitting of the hand pump and manually build up the pressure in the parking brake
circuit until the manometer indicates a pressure of > 120 bar.

Tow vehicle, see section 2.6, page 2.6 - 5.

Warning

After releasing the parking brake, the vehicle can be stopped once by applying the parking brake. To release the parking brake again, the pressure must again be built up to
> 115 bar.

Hydraulic system

The hydraulic system includes the

Steering and dump/hoist hydraulic systems
Converter transmission hydraulic system
The steering and dump/hoist hydraulic systems are supplied with oil by a pump from a common hydraulic
tank. The hydaulic tank is mounted to the engine chassis and in addition to all connections includes the
fill-level indicators and the oil return filter.
Steering and dump/hoist hydraulic system
The vehicle is equipped with a swivel-joint hydraulic power steering system. The oil flow from the pumps
is directed to the steering valve and to the dump/hoist valve. The steering valve or a steering lever operates
the steering valve, while the control lever (dump/hoist control) operates the dump/hoist valves and pressurizes the hydraulic cylinders.

Checking of oil level
Note

To check the oil level, park the vehicle on a level surface. Check the oil level with the
engine running and with retracted cylinders.

The oil level check must be carried out on the level gauge of the hydraulic reservoir. The oil level must
lie between the top and bottom level marks. If the oil has dropped below the bottom level, the hydraulic
system must be checked for leaks and the oil topped up to the top level mark on the level gauge.

Level monitoring
The oil level in the hydraulic tank is continuously monitored by a level switch. If the oil drops below the
min. level, this is indicated by signal lamp (H10) Hydraulic oil level. Check the hydraulic system for leaks
and top up oil to the max. mark on the oil level indicator.

Topping up hydraulic oil

Note

Top up hydraulic oil to maximum mark with engine stopped and retracted cylinders.

The oil may only be topped up at the special filling screw plug on the hydraulic tank. Only here is it ensured
that impurities are filtered out by the return filter before the oil flows into the hydraulic tank.

Return filter
To protect the hydraulic system against fouling damage a return filter with magnetic element has been
fitted in the hydraulic reservoir. An electric service signal monitors the filter plugging. As the plugging of
the filter element increases the filter flow resistance also increases. At a flow resistance in excess of 1.3
bar, the indicator light (H8) return pressure/brake filter lights up brightly to indicate that the filter element
must be replaced. To prevent the filter inset from bursting it releases itself under excessive overpressure
and allows the oil to flow unfiltered in the reservoir chamber. This may cause the hydraulic components
to be damaged.

Changing of hydraulic oil
Note

Change hydraulic oil with stopped engine and the hydraulic cylinders retracted.

The drain plug is arranged on the underside of the hydraulic tank. After the tank has been completely emptied and cleaned, fill up to the maximum mark.
Warning

Vent hydraulic system after each change of hydraulic oil.

Venting the hydraulic system

After components of the hydraulic system have been replaced, it is necessary to expel the air that has
entered.
To do so, subject the hydraulic tank to a slight overpressure of 0.5 bar. As soon as oil flows out of the vent
port bubble-free, screw on plug and tighten firmly. Only then is the tank to be de-pressurized. After changing the oil, start engine and operate hydraulic equipment. Check oil level again and top up, if necessary.
The cylinder lines and the cylinders themselves should be vented well to prevent the diesel effect and to
preserve the sleeves. Under pressure, the oil contained in the system dissolves in the hydraulic oil. This
oil penetrates the sleeve fabric. As soon as the system pressure drops, the air comes out of the sleeve
again and destroys it.
The intake pipes must be observed with special care.
-

If there is an intake pipe leak, the vacuum in the pipes will draw in air. Air in the hydraulic system causes
cavitation damage to pumps, valves and cylinder seals.

A restricted suction cross-section, caused for example by a restricted hose, causes an increased intake vacuum and hydraulic pump failure.

Steering and dump/hoist hydraulic system pressure test

Note

Carry out pressure measurements while the hydraulic oil is at operating temperature.

To measure the steering pressure, a pressure gauge with a measuring range between 0 and 250 bar has
to be connected to the measuring points provided. The pressure indicated is the currently used steering
pressure. With the steering mechanism fully locked, the maximum pressure is measured.
To measure the working pressure, a pressure gauge with a measuring range between 0 and 250 bar has
to be connected to the measuring points provided. The pressure indicated is the currently used working
pressure. The maximum pressure is measured when the respective cylinder is operated against its stop.

Pressure oil supply
The steering and dump/hoist hydraulic system is supplied with pressure oil by the pumps mounted on the
torque converter.
The intake of each pump is connected to the hydraulic tank via the intake pipes. With the steering mechanism not operated, the pump delivery flow is routed on via the priority valve to the dump/hoist hydraulic
system.
When the steering wheel is operated, an LS-signal is applied to the priority valve via the Orbitrol valve.
The pumps delivery flow is thus available to the steering hydraulic system.
The system pressure of the steering hydraulic system is limited by the primary pressure control valve integrated in the priority valve. Once the system pressure has been reached, the pump delivery flow is routed
on to the dump/hoist hydraulic system.

Filtering of hydraulic oil

A full-flow return filter is installed in the return chamber of the hydraulic reservoir for filtration of the entire
pump delivery flow.

Steering hydraulic system

The steering system is designed as a hydraulic power steering system.
It is activated via a steering wheel-operated rotary slide valve (Orbitrol valve) and downstream booster
valve with integrated priority valve.
When operating the steering wheel, pressure oil is routed to the booster valve through the metering pump
installed in the Orbitrol valve. At the same time, via connection LS, the control signal for the priority valve
is transmitted. The priority valve is reversed and the pump delivery flow reaches the booster valve. The
booster valve boosts the volume flow of the metering pump at a ratio of 1:5, delivering the flow in line with
the direction controlled by the steering wheel, to the steering cylinders via connection CL or CR.
The pressure control valve installed in the delivery line towards the steering cylinders protects the secondary side of the steering mechanism against pressure shocks transmitted from the roadway to the steering
system.

Dump/hoist hydraulic system
Directional control valve
In the dump/hoist valve two hydraulically operated directional control slides for boom or bucket operation,
respectively, are installed. For finger-tip bucket and boom control, fine- control grooves are provided in
the piston, which will permit the driver to set any lifting and lowering speed or any bucket tilt-back/dump-out
speed between zero and maximum.
If both slides are operated simultaneously, the operation requiring the lowest pressure will be carried out
first, followed by the other operation.
Control-oil supply
Control oil is supplied from the control oil unit, an accumulator which is charged from the pump delivery
line.
Hydraulic pilot control
The driver controls the required bucket and boom functions via the (dump-hoist) control lever direction.
The movement of the control lever determines the amount of pressure applied to the master piston of the
dump-hoist valve.
Servo valve
The servo valve includes four pressure-reducing valves to activate the tilt back bucket and raise/lower
boom functions, as well as one directional control valve for activation of the float position.
With the control lever not operated, all control-pressure lines towards the hydraulic oil tank are depressurized.
When moving the control lever, a control pressure proportional to the control lever movement is built up
in the outlet duct of the activated pressure-reducing valve.
Two pressure-reducing valves at a time can be activated by a diagonal movement of the control lever.

Caution

Even with the engine shut off, the control manifolds may be activated because of the
accumulator installed in the control oil supply system. Of course, only movements due
to bucket and boom deadweight can be performed. Before starting maintenance work
on the control system the accumulator has to be discharged by operating the control
lever several times.

Float position
If the control lever is operated in Lower bucket direction beyond the pressure point, outlet five of the
servo valve is pressurized and the directional control valve activated. This will set the bucket to floating
position. Through the directional control valve the secondary valves are depressurized towards the dump
cylinder.

Converter-transmission hydraulic system description

Converter charging pump

The converter charging pump is mounted to the torque converter and is directly driven by the diesel engine. The pump takes in oil from the transmission sump and delivers it via the pressure filter into the converter housing.

Pressure filter
The pressure oil is cleaned by the pressure filter. If the filter is soiled, the overflow valve allows the oil to
pass unfiltered.

Torque converter
The torque converter is bolted to the drive engine to form a unit.
The rotating parts are coupled to the engine flywheel via an elastic coupling. At the rear end of the torque
converter, flanging points for the connection of hydraulic pumps are provided in addition to the output
flange for the drive unit.
The oil flow from the converter charging pump is preloaded to 16.8 to 19.6 bar by a valve mounted to the
converter. This pressure is admitted to the multi-disc clutches in the power shift transmission.
The surplus oil flows to the torque converter for filling and cooling it. A safety valve protects the internal
parts of the torque converter against excessive pressure. The spur gears in the converter housing are
lubricated by spray nozzles. The oil flowing off is collected in the converter oil sump from where it flows
unpressurized to the transmission.
The second stage of the converter pump is used to drain the converter. The pump conveys oil from the
converter sump to the transmission sump.

Oil cooler
The oil flowing out of the torque converter has the highest temperature and is directed straight to the oil
cooler. The cooled oil flows to the lubricant distributor of the power shift transmission. The maximum temperature of the converter/transmission hydraulic system must not exceed 120

Power shift transmission

The travel direction valve switches the neutral position or pressurizes the forward or reverse clutch, respectively.
Depending on the gear selected, the gear selector valve pressurizes the relevant clutches. The lubricant
distributor distributes the oil coming from the cooler over the lubrication points of the power shift transmission.

Description of torque converter

Configuration and requirements

The torque converter is connected to the drive engine. Flanging points for hydraulic pumps are located
on the rear end of the torque converter together with the output flange for the transmission.
The primary function of the torque converter is to ensure smooth tramming over the selected speed ranges, to automatically match the vehicle speed to changes in tramming and gradient negotiation resistance
and to increase the torque to a multiple of engine torque.
The actual converter section comprises the following three major items which form the hydraulic transmission:
impeller
turbine wheel
Stator (nozzle ring)
In the impeller, which is rigidly coupled to the engine flywheel, the fluid (ATF oil) is accelerated outwards
and then led to the turbine wheel where it is decelerated again owing to the arrangement and curvature
of the blades. This causes the kinetic energy of the fluid to be converted back to mechanical torque and
speed. The turbine is coupled to the converter output flange which in turn is coupled to the transmission
input. The output torque of the torque converter is a function of to which extent the input speed exceeds
or falls below the output speed.
Oil delivered by the turbine is led to the stator which is stationary in the converter and has the task of delivering oil to the impeller by means of its blades such that the inlet losses on the impeller are reduced to a
reasonable level. At this point, too, torques occur which are not utilized, however. The sum of all torques
in the converter is zero, which means that the stator absorbs the difference between impeller and turbine
torque.
High relative velocities occur in the converter section between impeller, turbine and stator, resulting in oil
turbulences which, in turn, cause localized pockets of insufficient pressure which suddenly collapse. This
collapse of the resulting vapor locks causes pressure peaks of such an intensity that the blading would
be subject to excess mechanical loading. For this reason the fluid is preloaded, thus preventing vapor
locks and their resulting negative consequences (cavitation). Oil leaving the hydraulic transmission has
gained temperature in the converter substantially and is directed to the oil cooler.
From the preloaded converter section, ducts branch off to provide sufficient lubrication to roller bearings
and gears by means of injector nozzles.
Pump drives
Torque converters in our loaders always also accomodate the pumps for filling the converter and supplying
the transmission, steering and dump/hoist pumps. As can be seen from the diagram, the pumps are directly driven by the engine.
The power flow is from the impeller to the central auxiliary drive main gear. Each pump drive, in turn, is
provided with its own gear which is coupled to the corresponding pump and mates with the main gear.
Hints on operation
The torque converter considerably facilitates vehicle control to the operator.
The operator, therefore, need not change gears immediately for a change of incline. The operator may
also run the engine at a reatively high speed, thus ensuring that sufficient quantities of oil are always available for the steering and dump/hoist hydraulic systems. In normal operation the oil temperature should
be between 80 and 90C. It may be heated up to 120C for short periods of time.

Handling of TOTAL powder-type fire extinguisher

Caution

It is absolutely necessary to follow, in the g iven order, the notes on the extinguisher for
operating the device.

For an extinguishing service open the quick-release lock of the protective cap, fold up the cap and clear
the hose with the extinguishing pistol. Then press down with force the nickel-plated button of the striking
valve or strike it down by hand. This will cause piercing of the seal foil of the CO2 bottle inside the outer
container of the extinguisher. The carbon dioxide (CO2) will then flow into the holding chamber of the CO2
bottle and is discharged, via the Dunlop valve attached to the chamber, into the extinguishing-substance
vessel, where it fluidizes the extinguishing powder and pressurizes at the same time the vessel to the necessary service pressure. Only then, i.e. after pressing down the striking valve, must the extinguishing
pistol be operated and the fire be fought with the emerging powder cloud.
The extinguishing pistol can be stopped, allowing for repeated interruption of the extinguishing procedure
for short times.

Warning

As a matter of principle, the extinguisher must be refilled after each use, even if the fill
has not been completely used up. Only this will ensure complete readiness for service
at any time.

Note

The easily destructible green control foil under the striking head serves for checking
whether the valve has been actuated.

Refilling of the extinguisher
-

Release the extinguishing-substance vessel and hose from pressure after each extinguishing service,
by operating the extinguishing pistol

First loosen lightly the closing cap with striking valve, using a suitable spanner, by 1 - 2 turns, to let
escape any pressure still present through the pressure release holes provided at the side of the closing
cap.

Open the closing cap, completely and remove the striking valve together with the CO2 bottle and the
holding chamber from the extinguisher vessel. Take off the rubber guide sleeve loosely placed on the
neck of the CO2 bottle and put it aside for placing it on the new, filled bottle.

Unscrew the pressure hose from the vessel and remove powder remainders still present in the hose
and in the riser pipe and also the pierced control foil.

Empty completely the extinguishing-substance vessel.

Clean the extinguishing-substance vessel, the fittings and the hose

Note

Never rinse with water.

Fit riser pipe and new control foil and screw the hose tightly on the nipple of the vessel top. Check extinguishing pistol for proper functioning, i.e. for free movement.

Fill 10 kg of well fluidized dry extinguishing powder, preferably by using a strainer funnel, into the vessel
(dont tamp it).

Warning

Only the TOTALIT-G-type extinguishing powder from TOTAL Foerstner & Co. must be
used.

Fit new CO2 bottle (original charge from manufacturers works) into the holding chamber, after placing
the rubber guide sleeve onto the bottle neck, i.e. with the metal plate facing upwards.
Note

Ensure, by weighing, that the CO2 bottle (without sleeve) contains the specified charge
weight. The charge weight is stamped on the bottle.

Fit the holding chamber with the CO2 bottle into the extinguishing-substance vessel. Make sure that
the flange edge of the chamber is properly and flatly supported and that the sealing face is free from
any powder residues.

Screw on tightly closing cap with striking valve and seal it together with the screwed cap of the spraying
hose.

Place the green control foil around the striking valve between striking head and cap, and seal it likewise.

Place the hose without kinks on the top part. When doing so, take care that the striking head remains
clear and avoid its actuation. Finally, close the protective cap and seal the quick-release lock tightly.
Note

ACHTUNG
WARNING
Bremse steht unter Federvorspannung. (Vorspannkraft = 282 000 N). Arbeiten an der Bremse unter
Beachtung der Betriebsanleitung des Fahrzeugs und der Anleitung des Bremsenherstellers (Anweisung
Kessler 10.2506.3.)
The brake is preloaded. (Preloading force = 282 000 N). Mounting and dismounting the brakes must be
carried out in accordance with the Kessler+CO installation instructions 10.2506.3 (see Operating instruction page 3.15 - 11).
ACHTUNG
WARNING
Vor Arbeiten an der Bremsanlage an den Ventilen Pos.5 und Pos.19 durch mehrmaliges Bettigen,
Speicher entlasten.
Before working on the valves item 5 and item 19 of the brake system, depressurize accumulator by operating the brake several times.
Verschleissanzeige Kontrollmass:
Wear indicator control dimension
Bei betaetigter Bremse wird durch die Kontrollmassmessbohrung auf den Kolben gemessen. Das Kontrollmass neu ist im Gehaeuse unterhalb der Bohrung eingeschlagen. Ist das gemessene Mass um mehr
als 2,0 mm groesser, ist die Bremse zu kontrollieren und gegebenenfalls zu erneuern.
Actuate the brake and measure the checking dimension through the bore on the piston. The checking dimension new is marked on the housing below the bore. If the measured dimension exceeds this dimension by more than 2.0 mm, check the brake and replace, if necessary.
Bei Arbeiten an der Bremsanlage ist das Fahrzeug fachgerecht zu sichern.
Membranspeicher und Teile des Bremssystems stehen unter Vorspannung. Vor Arbeiten an der Bremsanlage ist daher der Druck im System abzubauen.
Nach Arbeiten an der Bremsanlage ist diese fachgerecht zu entlften und zu berprfen.
When working on the brake system the vehicle must be secured professionally.
The diaphragm accumulator and parts of the brake system are pressurised. Prior to working on the brake
system, the pressure in the system must be reduced to 0 bar.
After working on the brake system, it must be bled professionally and checked professionally before the
vehicle is put into service.
