3.3.3 Coolant - General

WARNING
Mixing coolants and adding cooling system sealing agents or anti-
freeze that contains sealing agents is not permitted.
By filling or mixing different types of coolant or cooling agent additives,
the mixture can gell or build up to plug the cooler resulting in the motor
overheating or the cooling system failing and therefore causing dam-
age to the motor.
WARNING
Mixing of nitrite-based cooling agents with amine-based agents pro-
duces health-hazardous nitrosamine.

Use the coolant indicated and described in chapter 3.3.1 and 3.3.2 de-
pending on the motor that is installed. The antifreeze is sufficient to
-37 °C (-34 °F).

Note
Observe the coolant label in the cooler area.

If the ambient temperature at the work-site is under this value

(-37 °C (-34 °F)), observe the operating instructions of the motor man-
ufacturer or contact SENNEBOGEN - customer service before starting
operation.

Note
If only a small amount (up to max. 5 l) is required to will the water-cool-
ant circuit and no suitable coolant is available, you can top up with
clean water in the mean time.
We recommend that you test the concentration at the next possible
time before freezing temperatures however. In some cases, you must
refill with the respective coolant so that the required mixture is achieved
again to prevent freezing.
The coolant is not only required to guarantee the protection against
freezing, it also performs the very important task of protecting against
corrosion. This also requires checking for the correct concentration and
adding when necessary.

Water
Note
z Use clean, neutral, filtered, fairly soft fresh tap water. Sennebogen
recommends distilled water as the best variant.
z Please note that Caterpillar specifies using distilled water!
z Do not use ditch water, industrial drain water, salt water, sea water
or rain water.
z Always fill using a water-coolant mixture. Observe mixing ratios. Mix
before filling!
Ensure that the water has the following characteristics:

pH value 7-8
Chloride content max. 100 ppm
Sulphate content max. 100 ppm
Water hardness 3-12 °dGH

Note
Observe the recommended mixing ratio (see manufacturer's specifica-
tions). If the coolant concentration is too high, the cooling and anti-
freeze behavior will deteriorate.
ATTENTION
Observe the specifications of the coolant manufacturer.

WARNING
Never fill with coolant when the motor is overheated. This will cause
damage to the motor. Allow the motor to cool first.

WARNING
Regarding possible danger to health or environmental dangers, ob-
serve the instructions for using the coolant manufacturer as well.

Using other coolants
If you should ever use a coolant other than that specified, the following
must be considered or expresslyobserved.

DANGER
z Work on hydraulic systems may only be carried out by trained
personnel with special knowledge and experience on hydraulics.
z Wear personal safety equipment (e.g. safety helmet, ear protection,
protective gloves, safety boots).
z Warning of high oil pressure!
The hydraulic system is subject to high pressure. Serious injuries
can be caused by escaping hydraulic oil when loosening a hydraulic
connection or when a leak occurs.
Only carry out work on a de-pressurised hydraulic system!
z De-pressurise hydraulic system before starting retrofitting work
(see Section 7.4).
z The pilot control is equipped with a pressure accumulator, which
remains under high pressure even after the engine is shut down.
Therefore, de-pressurise the pressure accumulator.
z Danger of injury!
If leaks are present hydraulic oil will leak out under high pressure.
Hydraulic oil will leak out under high pressure, penetrate the skin
and cause severe damage to health.
Danger of infection. In the case of injury contact a doctor
immediately!
z Danger of injury from scalding
The hydraulic oil can reach temperatures of 70°C and above. Only
carry out maintenance work once the hydraulic oil system has
cooled down.
z Danger of injury from rotating parts.
Only carry out maintenance work when the engine is switched off,
and then only if you are sure that the fan wheel has come to a stop
and there is no risk of automatic start-up.
Before starting up again, ensure that:
– No items (e.g. tools) are in the vicinity of the fan wheels or could
fall into this area as a result of vibrations, for example
– The protective features have been fitted.

Hydraulic system - General information

7.2 General information

7.2.1 Hydraulic cylinder

Pressure cylinders are subject to slight leakage. Remove excess
leakage residue with a cloth. Dispose of oil-soaked cloth as hazardous
waste.
The sliding surfaces of the piston rods are chrome-plated. Heavier
leakage indicates damaged sliding surfaces or defective seals.
Cleaning hydraulic cylinders:
z Do not use sharp edged tools, caustic fluids or abrasives.
z Wash down piston rods regularly with steam cleaner. Do not direct
the jet straight at the sealing elements.
z Apply preservative to extended piston rods after cleaning. This
protects the surface from the effects of environment and weather.

7.2.2 Screw connections

Check hydraulic screw connections and couplings regularly for leak-
tightness. Seal points of leakage and remove oil residue.
Leaking hydraulic oil endangers the environment and presents a
hazard due to danger of slipping.
Always seal opened screw connections immediately at both sides with
plugs.

7-2 821 / 05.2007

 Hydraulic system - Hydraulic lines

7.3 Hydraulic lines

Storage and duration of Even when used correctly at permissible loads, hoses and hose lines
use are subject to natural wear and tear. Their service life is therefore
limited.
The operator is responsible for ensuring that hose lines are replaced at
suitable intervals, even when there are no obvious defects to be seen
in the hose line.
Hose lines must be replaced at least every six years, including a
maximum of two years storage time, where applicable.

Check Hose lines should be inspected by a specialist technician at least once

a year to ensure that they are functioning correctly.
Remedy any defects discovered immediately.

Defects Replace hose lines in the following cases (see also DIN 20066):
z Outer layer damaged as far as reinforcement (e.g. abrasion points,
cuts, cracks);
z Outer layer brittle (cracks appearing in hose material);
z Deformation, which does not conform to the natural shape of the
hose or hose line, both when under and not under pressure, or when
bent (e.g. layer separation, bubbles forming);
z Leaks;
z Hose fittings damaged or deformed (sealing function affected);
z Hose has separated from fittings;
z Corrosion of fittings which reduces function and strength;
z Installation requirements ignored;
z Storage times and/or service life exceeded.

Hydraulic system - Checking preload pressure of pressure accumulator

7.12 Checking preload pressure of pressure

accumulator
Note
The check of the preload pressure is indicated using the pressure
accumulator of the pilot control system.

1 Lower suspended loads and jib to the ground.

2 Connect pressure gauge to the measuring bar.
3 Shut down engine, move ignition key immediately back to
position "1".
4 Move the two control levers in the cab several times in all
directions.
5 Observe pressure gauge.
As soon as the preload pressure is reached, the valve in the
pressure accumulator closes. The pressure gauge pointer
drops suddenly to "0". The value before the pressure drop
equates to the preload pressure in the pressure accumulator.
6 Compare indicated value with the tolerance specification on
the pressure accumulator. If the preload pressure lies outside
the tolerance, exchange pressure accumulator or have it
refilled with nitrogen.
7 Disconnect pressure gauge.

CAUTION
Every 10 years / 20 000 hours run, arrange for a pressure test and an
internal inspection by a specialist.
