Label Location Meaning


Warning! — Fire Suppression Actuator;
Read Manual
On vehicles equipped with fire suppression
systems, this label is located near the fire
suppression actuator(s). There are usually
two actuators, one in the operator’s compart-
ment and the other in or near the engine tub.
In the event of fire:
1. Stop engine
2. Remove safety ring
3. Push down (in) on actuator
For more information about how the fire
suppression works, see Section 8 of your
Scooptram Service Manual.

Warning! — Liquid Under Pressure


The hydraulic, engine oil, and engine cool-
ing systems all contain hot liquid under pres-

and vent all pressure before performing
maintenance. See Section 4, Preventive
Maintenance for instructions on how to
safely vent pressure. This label is found on

components where pressure may pose a haz-

Warning! — Slipping/Tripping Hazard


Some surfaces may be slippery from hydrau-
lic fluid, oil, or fuel. Always use caution
when walking on the hoods. Handles,
hinges, and latches may present a tripping
hazard. Pay attention to where you are step-
ping.

Caution! — Hot Surface


Avoid contact with hoses, fittings, and metal
surfaces when the vehicle is operating.
Hydraulic oil at operating temperature may
reach 210°. Wear protective clothing, gloves,
etc., when you must contact potentially hot
surfaces. Let the vehicle cool to ambient

temperature before performing maintenance.

Warning! — Read Towing Instructions


Never attempt to tow this vehicle unless you
have read and fully understand the instruc-
tions in Section3: Operating Instructions of
this manual.

Danger Zone — Crushing Hazard


Never enter the articulation area unless the
locking bar is in place. See Section 1: Safety.

ACW00081.pict

Warning! — Do Not Step


This prohibition sign appears on surfaces
where you should not step or attempt to use
as a step. For example, on vehicles equipped
with an air conditioner, there is a plate
mounted above the compressor fan that is
designed to protect the vehicle from falling
debris. It is not designed to support your
weight, and using the plate as a step can
result in damage to the fan.

Danger! — Stored Energy Hazard


This symbol is stamped in each SAHR
Brake housing. Never attempt service on the
SAHR brakes without first reading the appli-
cable information in the service manual. The
springs in the SAHR brake are under
extreme compression and improper disas-
sembly methods can result in serious per-
sonal injury and equipment damage.

Introduction

Know Your Vehicle!


The Atlas Copco Scooptram is a 4-wheel
drive, rubber-tired vehicle powered by a die-
sel engine or AC electric motor. The power
train is through a torque converter, power-
shift transmission and differential type axles
with planetary wheel ends. The Scooptram is
designed for loading, hauling, and dumping
materials.
The vehicle consists of two major sections:
the load frame (front section) and the power
frame(rear section). These two sections are
joined by hinge pins which allow the two
sections to pivot. The rear section (the power
frame) includes the engine, torque converter,
transmission, the operator’s compartment,
and rear drive axle. The front section con-
tains the boom, bucket, and front drive axle.
As an operator, it is your responsibility to
make certain that the Scooptram operates at
maximum efficiency with the greatest possi-
ble safety. It is also your responsibility to
keep it in top operating condition through
proper operating techniques and correct
operator maintenance. Remember, safe and
efficient operation is up to you — the opera-
tor.

Model Identification
The model identification data is stamped on
the vehicle nameplate located near the opera-
tor compartment on the vertical surface of
the chassis. The nameplate contains the vehi-
cle model number and the vehicle serial
number.

IMPORTANT: Do not operate the engine if
maximum temperatures are exceeded.
Transverter Oil Temperature Gauge
A sensor located in the transverter sends oil
temperature to the DCU where it is transmit-
ted to a dial type gauge in the operator’s
compartment. Normal transverter operating
temperature is about 94° C (200° F). If the
temperature raises above 121° C (250° F) the
gauge LED will illuminate and the audible

Note: The transverter will automatically
shift to neutral if a catastrophic problem
exists.
Fuel Gauge
The fuel level input to the DCU comes from
a sensor located in the fuel tank and is dis-
played on a dial type gauge in the operator’s
compartment. When the fuel level falls
below 1/8th of a tank, the LED will illumi-

1. Empty the bucket completely and lower
it to the ground.
2. Shut down the engine.
3. Apply the park brake.
4. Block the wheels
5. Turn the Ignition Switch and Master

Troubleshooting
The following table lists the most common problems that may be encountered by a Scooptram
operator. If the problems cannot be solved using the corrective actions listed in this table,
notify maintenance personnel immediately.

Symptom Probable Cause Corrective Action


Engine fails to start. Fuel tank is empty. Fill up fuel tank.
Fuel shut-off valve at tank is closed. Open fuel shut-off valve.
Fuel system is not primed adequately. Hand-prime fuel system with fuel pump at
injection pump.
Fuel filter is blocked. Check lines and remove restriction. Check
connections and tighten them if loose.
