WARNING

This symbol means:


Warning – Personal injury and damage to components or the drive mechanism
can result if warnings are not followed

The recommendations and warnings in this service manual must be adhered to. The
recommendations given are those of the manufacturers of the relevant components. No guarantee can
be given if these recommendations are not adhered to. If the prescribed service intervals are
exceeded then guarantee claims are invalid. For more specific and detailed recommendation refer the
maintenance service manual of the supplier of the component.

The list below contains general conditions which must be complied with in order to correctly service
the vehicle.

„ Always drain off oil when it is warm

„ The specification of the new oil must always comply with the oil specifications prescribed by the
manufacturer of the drive mechanism.

„ The viscosity of the oil depends upon the outside temperature in which the vehicle operates.

„ Extra oil additives may not be used unless this is prescribed in writing by Terberg.

„ Always fill drive mechanisms with an oil dipstick to the highest mark. Note: some manufacturers
use different marks for cold and warm oil.

„ Always fill drive mechanisms with an oil level plug using the filler plug until the level plug
overflows. Unless otherwise mentioned in this manual, the height of the bottom of the level plug is
the correct oil level.

„ The quantities of oil which are indicated are only given as an indication.

„ The quantity of oil always relates to the level indicated on the oil dipstick or the overflowing of the
level plug.

„ Service intervals prescribed by the manufacturer must be strictly adhered to.

„ Services can always be carried out before the prescribed time. Make sure though that the next
period is not longer than the prescribed service interval.

„ Use the original filters of the manufacturer of the component. (can be obtained from Terberg
spares department)

„ When changing oil always check the breather for proper operation (only for equipment with
breather).

„ Always make sure the output flange seal(s) are not leaking. Repair immediately to prevent
damage because of lowering oil level. (for gearbox/transmission, transfercase and axles)

Terberg Benschop 4
GENERAL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Incorrect practice or lack of care can cause burns, wounds, mutilation, suffocation or other
bodily injuries or even death.

Make sure you read and understand all safety measures and warnings before carrying out any repairs.
This list contains general safety measures which must be complied with for personal safety reasons.
Special safety regulations are laid down in the procedures when they are applicable.

„ Ensure the work area around the product is dry, well lit, ventilated and is free of tools, parts, fires
and hazardous substances. Be aware that a dangerous situation could arise.

„ Always wear safety glasses and protective shoes when carrying out work.

„ Never wear loose or torn clothing. Always remove jewellery when working.

„ Disconnect the battery (negative [-] terminal first) and discharge all capacitors before carrying out
any repairs. Disconnect the air starting motor, if present, to prevent the engine starting by
accident. Place a “Not in use” board in the room in front of the operating panel or on the buttons.

„ ONLY use the correct engine locking methods when you are turning the crankshaft of the engine.
Do not try to run the engine by pushing or pulling the fan. This can cause serious personal injury,
damage to belongings or damage to the fan vanes, so shortening the lifetime of the fan.

„ If the engine has been running and the coolant is warm, allow the engine to cool down before
slowly loosening the filler cap and releasing the pressure from the cooling system.

„ Do not work on anything that is ONLY supported by jacks or a hoist. Always use blocks or real
props to support the product before carrying out any service.

„ Before removing or disconnecting pipes, fittings or similar items, release all pressure in the air, oil
and cooling systems. Take into account the fact that there may be pressure when disconnecting
any part from a system in which pressure is used. Do not use your hands to check for pressure
leaks. Oil and fuel at high pressure can cause bodily injury.

„ In order to avoid suffocation and freezing, wear protective clothing and ONLY disconnect
tubes/pipes for liquid coolants (freons) in a well ventilated area. In order to protect the
environment, the systems containing liquid coolant must be correctly filled and emptied using
equipment to prevent coolant vapour (fluorocarbons) being emitted into the air. You are legally
obliged to collect used coolant and recycle it.

„ In order to prevent personal injury, use a hoist or ask for help when lifting heavy parts. Make sure
that all hoisting equipment such as chains, hooks or ropes are in a good state of repair and that
they have the capacity to bear the load. Make sure that the hooks are correctly positioned. If
necessary, use a brace. The tackle hooks may not be subjected to sideward loads.

„ Corrosion inhibitors contain alkali. Make sure that no such material gets into your eyes. Avoid long
or repeated contact with the skin. Do not swallow. If contacted with the skin, wash immediately
with soap and water. If contacted with the eyes, immediately flush the eyes with a large amount of
water for at least 15 minutes. IMMEDIATELY CALL IN MEDICAL HELP. KEEP AWAY FROM
CHILDREN.

„ Naphtha and methyl ethyl ketone (MEK) are flammable substances and they should be handled
with care. Follow the instructions of the manufacturer to use these materials safely. KEEP AWAY
FROM CHILDREN.

„ In order to prevent burns, watch out for hot parts on components which have just been switched
off and for hot liquids in lines, pipes and compartments.

Terberg Benschop 5
„ Always use tools which are in a good state of repair. Make sure that you know how to use the
tools before carrying out any work. ONLY use replacement parts from the same brand as the
relevant part.

„ Always use replacement fittings having the same part number (or equivalent). Use no fitting of
inferior quality if replacement is necessary.

„ Do not carry out any repairs if you are tired or if you have consumed alcohol or drugs which can
affect your ability to work in the correct manner.

„ When handling old engine oil, avoid long and repeated contact with the skin. Such long and
repeated contact with skin can cause serious skin irritations or other serious bodily injury. After
contact, wash the skin thoroughly. KEEP AWAY FROM CHILDREN.

„ PROTECT THE ENVIRONMENT: The handling and cleaning up of spent oil or coolant may be
subject to national, provincial or local laws and regulations. Use authorised waste processing
services, including municipal facilities and garages which provide authorised facilities for the
collection of spent oil. If in doubt, contact the provincial or municipal authorities or the
Environmental Protection Service for guidelines about how to handle correctly and clean up spent
engine oil.

„ Parts which rotate can cause cuts, mutilations or strangulation.

„ Always wear protective clothing to prevent bodily injury from burns.

0 GENERAL INSTRUCTION

0.1 How to use this manual


This manual is summarises all recommendations of the component
suppliers, which can be fitted in the Terberg Terminal Tractor and RoRo
Tractor range.
The change intervals must be followed up as described depended on oil
specification, duty cycle and sulphur content of fuel. Develop your own
service schedule based on the duty cycle of your vehicle(s) and type of fluids
used. The original component recommendations can also be found in the
service manual of the component supplier.

0.2 First Service


First service after delivery of the vehicle, at 100 operating hours.

The first service should be done to make sure that all components are installed properly and keep
installed properly. Also all oil levels should be checked and corrected.
The first oil and filter changes must be carried out as recommend by the component manufacturer.
However, Terberg recommends to change the engine and transmission oil at the first service, to make
sure that first dirt and wear particles are removed.

See paragraph 11 for the first service checkpoints.


Tightening torque’s of the following points needs especially be checked:
• Bolt connections in the cabin mountings (e.g. shock absorbers)
• Bolt connections in engine and transmission suspension
• Tightening of hose clamps
• Bolt connections in front and rear axle suspension
• Bolt connections in lift-frame mountings
• Tightening of hydraulic couplings

0.3 Cleaning

The vehicle should be washed as soon as it has become dirty,


particularly in the wintertime when road salt and moisture can easily
give rise to corrosion. Chassis and its components can be cleaned by
a high pressure cleaner. Avoid grease build-up around the fifth wheel,
especially the rear axle breather must be free of grease.

Clean the cooler package (radiators) to prevent external pollution.


Cleaning of radiators can be done by air or water.

Be aware that a high-pressure water beam can damage sealing,


electrical equipment, hoses and wiring.
Do not aim the high-pressure water beam at sealing of hydraulic
cylinders and sealing of the drive line components.
Do not aim the high-pressure water beam directly at electrical
equipment.
Do not aim the water beam directly at breathers.
Do not aim a high-pressure water beam too close at a radiator, this
can damage the cooling fins of the radiator.

Terberg Benschop 7
0.4 Removing corrosion protection
When a tractor is transported over sea on a ships upper deck, it has been exposed to the salt oceanic
climate.
In these cases, the tractor is treated with an anti-corrosion fluid as protection, with specification:

American Standards AXS 673, AXS 1759 grades 1 and 2


ISO 6743/8 (1987) : RFF category
US Army MIL-C-972 grade 3

The vehicle is covered with a soft greasy protective film with a water-repellent effect, that assures the
oceanic climate does not cause any difficulty. Application of the fluid can be detected: when examined
under the Wood lamp, parts show a fluorescent yellow.

! WARNING!
BEFORE THE VEHICLE CAN BE USED, THE FILM MUST BE REMOVED.

The protective film can be removed with:


Preferably this should be done by spraying it on to the vehicle.

- solvent (white spirit, petrol, trichlorethelene, etc…)


- wiping with a cloth soaked in solvent.
- soaking in two successive layers for the time required ; in some cases, this may exceed 30
minutes.
- Petrol with 1% of commercially available emulgator: soaking for 20 to 30 minutes, or more if
necessary, draining, washing in hot water, drying.
- Alkaline solutions at 85/95°C: soaking for the time required (15 to 30 minutes or more), washing in
hot water, drying.
We recommend the following formula for the solution:
Silicate of sodium: 0,5 %
Trisodium phosphate: 1 %
Sodium carbonate: 1 to 2 %.

All parts of the vehicle should be cleaned. But, because the film is on oil containing basis, the parts
that will reach high temperatures need to be cleaned very well. This because of fire hazard.

The critical parts are:


• Engine
• Complete Exhaust system
• Radiator (must also be cleaned very carefully to prevent early clogging)

When all parts are cleaned and the critical parts are inspected thoroughly, the vehicle is ready for use.

If present, replace the coolant filter every 6 months or every 2nd oil change or after every 1000 hours of
operation.
*
If present

Terberg Benschop 10
Coolant*
The cooling system must be filled with a coolant that protects the engine against internal corrosion and
from freezing if the climate requires it. Never use water alone.
Always use Volvo Penta coolant Type 90, which is available in concentrated form.
1L = V1141645
5L = V1141646
210L = V1141647

Mixing in other types of concentrated coolant can give impaired corrosion protection, which could
damage the engine or block the cooling system.

Always use clean water, which complies with the requirements in ASTM D4985 X1.1. If these
requirements are not complied with, corrosion could occur, which would lead to impaired cooling
performance. (See for specification paragraph 1.8).

The mixture of concentrated coolant and water should contain of 40-55% concentrate in water.
*
Do only use this Volvo Penta recommendation when you do not want to use the Terberg
recommendation with Shell Glycoshell coolant.

Air filter
Primary filter replacement: when the relevant indication lamp lights up, but at least once every
24 months.
Secondary* filter replacement: every 3rd time the primary filter is replaced or at least once every
48 months. The secondary filter shall also be replaced when the
relevant indication lamp lights up.
* If present

Valves, inlet/outlet
The valves must be checked and adjusted in accordance with the instructions given in the Volvo
workshop manual.
Check the valve clearance after the first 100-200 hours.
Adjust the valve clearance every 1200 hours (TAD720 every 1500 hours).

Terberg Benschop 14
Coolant*
Use low-silicate antifreeze that meets ASTM4985 (GM6038M specification) criteria.
Fully formulated coolant must meet ASTM D-6210/D-6211.

Cummins Inc. recommends using either a 50/50 mixture of good-quality water and fully formulated
antifreeze, or fully formulated coolant when filling the cooling system.

Good-quality water is important for cooling system performance.


Excessive levels of calcium and magnesium contribute to scaling problems, and excessive levels of
chlorides and sulfates cause cooling system corrosion.

Water Quality
Calcium Magnesium Maximum 170 ppm as
(hardness) (CaCO3 + MgCO3)
Chloride 40 ppm as (CI)
Sulfur 100 ppm as (SO4)

Cummins Inc. recommends using Fleetguard® Compleat ES. It is available in both glycol forms
(ethylene and propylene).

Fully formulated antifreeze must be mixed with good-quality water at a 50/50 ratio (40- to 60-percent
working range). A 50/50 mixture of antifreeze and water gives a -36°C freezing point. The actual
lowest freezing point of ethylene glycol antifreeze is at 68 percent.and must never exceeded under
any conditions.
*
Do only use this Cummins Inc. recommendation when you do not want to use the Terberg
recommendation with Shell Glycoshell coolant.

Coolant DCA4 additive*


Only for engines with coolant filter:

On each coolant change, use the appropriate amount of liquid DCA4 to make a “heavy duty” coolant
mixture. DCA4 is a collective name for additives which protect the system against corrosion and
cavitation (amongst other things). The concentration must be 0.4 units per litre for optimal protection.

Cooling system Required mixing quantity of DCA4


Capacity (litres) Litres
29-43 1.4
44-58 1.9

T30052450 DCA4 0.5 litres (Fleetguard DCA 60L)


T30052479 DCA4 19 litres (Fleetguard DCA 75L)
*
Do not use this Cummins recommendation in combination with a Shell Glycoshell coolant.
See paragraph 1.8 for Terberg recommendation with Shell Glycoshell coolant.

Terberg Benschop 15
Coolant filter DCA4*
Only present on C8.3 / QSC / QSM engines.
Replace the coolant filter after every 500 hours of operation or 6 months, whichever is sooner.
(QSM every 250 hours of operation or 6 months, whichever is sooner.)

The coolant filter contains DCA4 granules which dissolve in the system to make a “heavy duty” coolant
mixture. The concentration must be 0.4 units per litre for optimal protection.

For a 20-58 litre system, a coolant filter is prescribed with 2-4 units DCA4. Use the service filter with 4
units DCA4: part number CU3315116 (Fleetguard WF2071).
(For QSM use part number CU3100308 (Fleetguard WF2075).
(For QSC use part number CU3100307 (Fleetguard WF2074).
*
Do not use this Cummins recommendation in combination with a Shell Glycoshell coolant.
See paragraph 1.8 for Terberg recommendation with Shell Glycoshell coolant.

Testing for DCA4


The concentration of DCA4 must be tested with a Fleetguard “3-way test kit”.

Part number Description


Kit for testing for DCA4, content: 50 strips (Fleetguard
T24109067
CC2602M)

When do you have to use the test kit?


9 When there is excessive loss of coolant
9 At least twice per year, if desired more frequently.
9 If the concentration is higher than the limit of 0.8 units per litre, a test must be carried out during
each service interval until the concentration is below the limit value.

Follow the instructions of the test kit.

How to use the test kit?


The concentration is above 0.8 units/litre.
Do not replace the service filter or don’t add any DCA4-
liquid until the concentration drops below 0.8 units per
litre.

The concentration is between 0.3 and 0.8 units/litre.


The concentration is within the normal limits.
Add the normal quantity of DCA4 by replacing the filter.

The concentration is below 0.3 units/litre.


Add the normal quantity of DCA4 by replacing the filter,
plus an extra amount in liquid form. This increases the
concentration to an acceptable level.

Important:
There is an expiry date on the test strip packaging. Incorrect results can occur after exceeding the
expiry date. The packaging must always be well sealed to protect the moisture-sensitive strips. The
strips must always be kept stored at a temperature between 0° and 32° Celsius.
*
Do not use this Cummins recommendation in combination with a Shell Glycoshell coolant.
See paragraph 1.8 for Terberg recommendation with Shell Glycoshell coolant.

1.3 Cummins Natural Gas engines (LPG)
Oil grade
Cummins natural gas engines require a special oil that is
available from major oil suppliers. Careful attention must
be paid to engine oil specifications because natural gas
engine oil has different properties than a diesel engine oil.

WARNING !
Do not use diesel engine oil in a natural gas engine. If
diesel engine oil is used, valve torching, piston scuff-ing,
and reduction of spark plug life will occur.

WARNING !
A sulfated ash limit of 0.6 percent has been placed on
all engine lubricating oil recommended for use in Cummins
natural gas engines. Higher ash oils can cause
valve and/or piston damage and lead to excessive oil
consumption and degradation of the catalyst.

Use oil that conforms to Cummins Engineering Standards:


(CES) 20074 SAE 15W40

Valvoline Premium blue GEO 15W40 CES20074


Terberg part no. T30052800 (18,9 Litre)

Viscosity:
For normal outside temperatures (above –10°C), a viscosity of 15W40 is preferred.

6B LPG Plus Change the coolant after every 2000 hours of operation or every 24 months*

Coolant*
Use low-silicate antifreeze that meets ASTM4985 (GM6038M specification) criteria.
Fully formulated coolant must meet ASTM D-6210/D-6211.

Cummins Inc. recommends using either a 50/50 mixture of good-quality water and fully formulated
antifreeze, or fully formulated coolant when filling the cooling system.

Good-quality water is important for cooling system performance.


Excessive levels of calcium and magnesium contribute to scaling problems, and excessive levels of
chlorides and sulfates cause cooling system corrosion.

Water Quality
Calcium Magnesium Maximum 170 ppm as
(hardness) (CaCO3 + MgCO3)
Chloride 40 ppm as (CI)
Sulfur 100 ppm as (SO4)

Cummins Inc. recommends using Fleetguard® Compleat ES. It is available in both glycol forms
(ethylene and propylene).

Fully formulated antifreeze must be mixed with good-quality water at a 50/50 ratio (40- to 60-percent
working range). A 50/50 mixture of antifreeze and water gives a -36°C freezing point. The actual
lowest freezing point of ethylene glycol antifreeze is at 68 percent.and must never exceeded under
any conditions.

Do not use antifreeze not compatible with aluminum.

Terberg Benschop 20
WARNING!
Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LPG) is normally treated with an odor producing chemical so that users will
be able to smell gas leaks. Always be alert for the smell of gas. If you enter a room or approach a
vehicle and a smell of gas is present, immediately shut off all engines and ignition sources. Avoid
sparks, arcing switches and equipment, cigarettes, pilot lights, flames, and other sources of ignition in
the area and in areas with common ventilation. Provide extra ventilation to the area and do not start
the equipment or nearby equipment until the leak is corrected and the area is ventilated. Avoid leaving
liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) fueled equipment in unvented rooms overnight or for extended periods.
Store and service liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) fueled equipment in large well-ventilated areas or
outside.

WARNING!
Do not troubleshoot or repair gas leaks while the engine is running.

CAUTION!
Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LPG) is heavier than air and can accumulate near the floor, in sumps, and in
low-lying areas.

CAUTION!
Always torque fasteners and fuel connections to the required specifications. Over tightening or under
tightening can allow leakage. These connections are critical to the fuel and air systems.

CAUTION!
Always test for fuel leaks as instructed, as odorant can fade.

CAUTION!
Close the manual fuel valves prior to performing maintenance and repairs and when storing the
vehicle inside.

1.4 Mercedes-Benz Diesel engines

Oil grade
Only multi-grade engine oils approved by Mercedes -Benz must be used:

MB 228.5
MB 228.2/3
MB 228.0/1

In order to make the proper choice of a commercial oil, refer the Mercedes-Benz (A5) manual
“Specifications for operating fluids”. All mentioned sheets are described in this Mercedes-Benz
manual. The use of non-approved engine oils could affect warranty rights.

Viscosity
(According MB specification sheet 224.2)
Adhering exactly to the SAE grades in
accordance with the ambient temperatures would
result in frequent engine oil changes. The
temperature ranges of the SAE grades are
therefore to be looked upon as a guide which for

Replace filter element of the fuel pre-filter with water trap every third oil change.
Drain the water plug on the fuel pre-filter water trap daily.

Air filter
Replace the air filter when the relevant indication lamp lights up.
The filter element should however generally be renewed.

Coolant change interval


Change the coolant every three years.

Coolant*
The coolant is a mixture of water and antifreeze/corrosion inhibitor. The coolant
must remain in the cooling system all year round to ensure anti-corrosion protection
and to increase the boiling point.

Use an approved premixed coolant in accordance with Sheet 326.0, 326.2 or 326.3 of the Mercedes-
Benz Specifications for Service Products. Information is also available from any Mercedes-Benz
Service Centre.

Water
Water without additives is not permitted as a coolant, even if antifreeze properties are not necessary.
The coolant water must satisfy certain requirements which are not always fulfilled by drinking water.
If the water is not of sufficient quality, it must be treated.

Information is available from any Mercedes-Benz Service Centre.

Antifreeze/corrosion inhibitor
To prevent damage to the cooling system:
• Only use approved antifreeze/corrosion inhibitor. Use an approved antifreeze/corrosion inhibitor in
accordance with Sheet 325.0 or 325.2 of the Mercedes-Benz Specifications for Service Products.
Information is also available from any Mercedes-Benz Service Centre.
• When topping up (after coolant loss), make sure that the antifreeze/corrosion inhibitor
concentration is 50% by volume (this ensures antifreeze protection down to –37 °C).

If the concentration is too low, there is a risk of engine damage as a result of corrosion/cavitation.

• Do not use an antifreeze/corrosion inhibitor concentration of over 55% by volume (maximum


antifreeze protection). Above this concentration, antifreeze protection deteriorates and heat
dissipation is less effective.

properties in accordance with Sheet 312.0 of the Mercedes-Benz Specifications for Service Products
(e.g. MB corrosion inhibitor A 000 98913 2510 by DaimlerChrysler AG or an approved additive from
another manufacturer).
In this case, the coolant must be renewed every year.

1.5 Caterpillar Diesel engines

Oil grade
Due to significant variations in the quality and in the performance of
commercially available oils, Caterpillar makes the following recommendations:

Caterpillar Diesel Engine Oil (10W30)


Caterpillar Diesel Engine Oil (15W40)

If Caterpillar multigrade Diesel Engine oil is not used, only use commercial
multigrade oils that meets the following classifications:
EMA LRG-1
API CH-4
API CG-4
API CF-4

In order to make the proper choice of a commercial oil, refer the Caterpillar Operation and
Maintenance manual.

Viscosity
The proper SAE viscosity grade of oil is determined by the minimum ambient temperature during colt
engine start-up, and the maximum ambient temperature during engine operation.
Use the highest oil viscosity that is available to meet the requirement for the temperature at start-up.

Engine oil viscosity


Viscosity Ambient Temperature
Grade Minimum Maximum
SAE 0W20 -40°C 10°C
SAE 0W30 -40°C 30°C
SAE 0W40 -40°C 40°C
SAE 5W30 -30°C 30°C
SAE 5W40 -30°C 40°C
SAE 10W30 -20°C 40°C
SAE 15W40 -15°C 50°C

Oil change intervals


Abnormally harsh operating cycles or harsh environments can shorten the service life of
the engine oil. Arctic temperatures, corrosive environments, or extremely dusty conditions
may require a reduction in engine oil change intervals from the recommendations in the
Table. Poor maintenance of air filters or fuel filters requires reduced oil change intervals. See
your Caterpillar dealer for more information if this product will experience abnormally harsh
operating cycles or harsh environments.

Oil filter
Oil filter(s) must be replaced at each oil change!

Fuel filter
The water separator must be monitored daily and should be drained if water is present.
Replace the fuel filter element regularly. Install a vacuum gauge on the primary filter/water separator.
The primary filter/water separator should be changed if the pressure is more than 50 to 70 kPa.

Air filter
Replace the air filter when the relevant indication lamp lights up.
The filter element should however be renewed at least every year.
Operation conditions (dust, dirt and debris) may require more frequent service of the air filter.

Coolant change interval


Change the coolant every 3000 hours or every year, whichever is sooner.
For optimising of the coolant change intervals refer the Caterpillar Operation and Maintenance manual
“Coolant recommendations”.

Coolant*
Coolant is normally composed of three elements: water, additives and glycol.

Water

NOTICE:
AII Caterpillar diesel engines equipped with air-to-air aftercooling (ATAAC) require a minimum at 30
percent glycol to prevent water pump cavitation.
NOTICE:
Never use water alone. Water alone is corrosive at engine operating temperatures. Water alone does
not provide adequate protection against boiling or freezing.

Water is used in the cooling system in order to transfer heat.


Distilled water or deionized water is recommended for use in engine cooling systems.

DO NOT use the following types of water in cooling systems: hard water, softened water that has been

conditioned with salt, and sea water.


If distilled water or deionized water is not available, use water with the properties that are listed in the
table below.

For more information refer the Caterpillar Operation and Maintenance manual “Cooling System
Specifications”.

Additives

Additives help to protect the metal surfaces of the cooling system. A jack of coolant additives or
insufficient amounts of additives enable the following conditions to occur:

Corrosion, formation of mineral deposits, rust, scale, pitting and erosion from cavitation of the cylinder
liner, foaming of the coolant.

Many additives are depleted during engine operation. These additives must be replaced periodically.
This can be done by adding Supplemental Coolant Additives (SCA) to Diesel Engine
Antifreeze/Coolant (DEAC) or by adding ELC Extender to Extended Life Coolant (ELC).
Additives must be added at the proper concentration. Overconcentration of additives can cause the
inhibitors to drop out-of-solution.

For more information refer the Caterpillar Operation and Maintenance manual “Cooling System
Specifications”.

Glycol

Glycol in the coolant helps to provide protection against boiling, freezing and cavitation.
For optimum performance, Catterpillar recommends a 50/50 (1:1) mixture of a water glycol solution.

Note: Use a mixture that will provide protection against the lowest ambient temperature.

Coolant Recommendations
The following two coolants are used in Caterpillar diesel engines:

Preferred -Caterpillar Extended Life Coolant (ELC) or a commercial extended life coolant that meets
the Caterpillar EC-1 specification.
Acceptable -A Caterpillar Diesel Engine Antifreeze/Coolant (DEAC) or a commercial heavy-duty
coolant/antifreeze that meets "ASTM D4985" or "ASTM D5345" specifications.

Terberg Benschop 27
NOTICE
Do not use a commercial coolant / antifreeze that only meets the ASTM D3306 or D4656 specification.
This type of coolant/antifreeze is made for light duty automotive applications.

Caterpillar recommends a 50/50 (1:1) mixture of water and glycol. This mixture of water and glycol will
provide optimum heavy-duty performance as a coolant/antifreeze.

Note: Caterpillar DEAC DOES NOT require a treatment with an SCA at the initial fill.
Commercial heavy-duty coolant/antifreeze that meets "ASTM D4985" or "ASTM D5345" specifications
MAY require a treatment with an SCA at the initial fill. Read the label or the instructions that are
provided by the OEM of the product.
Distilled water or deionized water is preferred. Water which has the recommended properties may be
used.

For more information refer the Caterpillar Operation and Maintenance manual “Cooling System
Specifications”.

Do only use this Caterpillar recommendation when you do not want to use the Terberg
recommendation with Shell Glycoshell coolant.

Valves, inlet/outlet
The first valve clearance adjustment on new engines , rebuilt engines or manufactured engines is
recommend at the first scheduled oil change.
There after inspect/adjust the valve clearance every 2000 hours of operation or each year, whichever
is sooner.

Terberg Benschop 28
1.6 Air Compressor (all engines)
Air filter (if present)
The compressor air filter must be replaced after every 250 hours of operation or after 3 months,
whichever is sooner. A dirty/blocked air filter causes a large under pressure in the inlet line, causing
the oil consumption to increase. If there is high oil consumption, always replace the air filter on the
compressor first.
Make a note of the date and the number of operating hours on the filter so that it is known when the
filter was last replaced.

Mounting
Inspect the air compressor mounting every 250 hours of operation or 3 months*.
* Depending on which is sooner

Inspect the air compressor mounting nuts, including the tail support bracket, or loose and damaged
hardware.

Discharge lines
Inspect the air discharge line from the air compressor for carbon build up every 1000 hours
or every year, whichever is sooner.

These intervals are based on the assumption that the compressed air system is in good condition
regarding cleanliness and that the system is free from restriction.

Any system that is considered to be suffering from cleanliness or restriction problems must have the
air system repaired, cleaned or replaced to a serviceable condition. The operator must then adopt the
maintenance procedures at half the applicable interval mentioned above.

The 2mm allowable carbon deposit is not applicable whilst the compressor is being maintained at a
half interval. Additionally, If any carbon build up is found at a half interval then the procedure steps 3
and 4 need to be carried out.

When it is seen that no build up of carbon is found in the compressor discharge lines at the half
interval maintenance periods, the operator may adopt the full service interval and the 2mm carbon
build up inspection criteria will apply.

NOTE: AII air compressors have a small amount of oil carry over that lubricates the piston rings and
moving parts. When this oil is exposed to normal air compressor operating temperatures over a period
of time, it will form varnish or carbon deposits. If the inspection is not done, the air compressor piston
rings can be affected by high operating temperatures and pressures and can not seal correctly.

Terberg Benschop 29
Standard procedures:
1. Stop the engine. Release the system residual air pressure by loosen the connection of the
discharge line. Remove the air discharge line from the air compressor.

2. Measure the total carbon deposit thickness inside the air discharge line as shown. If the total
carbon deposit (X + X) exceeds 2 mm [1/16 in], clean and inspect the cylinder head, the valve
assembly, and the discharge line. Replace if necessary. Contact your Engine Supplier Authorized
Repair Location or refer your engine supplier “Service manual” for procedures.

3. If the total carbon deposit exceeds specifications, continue checking the air discharge line
connections up to the first tank until total carbon deposit is less than 2 mm [1/16 in]. Clean or
replace any lines or connections that exceed this specification.

4. Inspect the air dryer, 4-circuit protection valve, and governor for carbon deposits or malfunctioning
parts. Inspect for air leaks. Maintain and repair the parts according to the manufacturer's
specifications.

Terberg Benschop 30
1.7 Air dryer
Drain the air tanks of the brake system weekly. (Depended of the weather
conditions)
Replace the air dryer element at least every 1000 hours of operation or once a year.
(Whichever is sooner) however replace the air dryer element if any water is present
in the brake system.

1.8 Cooling system (general for all engines)


Frost protection
Terberg strongly recommends to use only pre-mixed coolant of
Shell because of constant controlled water quality!
However if you want to mix yourself:

Recommend antifreeze:

Shell Glycoshell Concentrate

Antifreeze must be mixed with water in a 50% / 50% ratio.

The table below gives an indication of the amount of


concentrated coolant required to protect against different
degrees of frost.

Frost protection down Percentage concentrated


to: antifreeze
-25°C 40 %
-30°C 46 %
-40°C 50 %
-46°C 60 %

-46°C is the maximum freezing point lowering. Increasing the quantity of concentrated coolant above
this value adversely affects the protection to frost. Even if the temperature never drops below -40°C,
the above-mentioned mixing ratios must be adhered to. The mixing ratio is required in order to
maintain adequate protection against corrosion. Mix the two liquids in a separate clean container.

Water
Always use clean water which fulfils the requirements in ASTM D4985. If these requirements are not
fulfilled, the cooling system will get blocked again with diminished cooling effect and damage to the
engine as a direct result. If water cannot be cleaned so these requirements are fulfilled, then ready
mixed coolant must be used.

Requirements:
Total fixed particles <340 ppm
Total hardness <9.5 °dH
Chloride <40 ppm
Sulphate <100 ppm
pH value 5.5 – 9
Silicon <20 mg SIO2/l
Iron <0.10 ppm
Manganese <0.05 ppm
Conductivity <500 µS/cm
Organic content, CODMn <15 mg kMnO4/l

< = less than

Terberg Benschop 31
Coolant
Recommended coolant:

Shell Glycoshell Diluted

Glycoshell Diluted of Shell is a ready-to-use pre-mixed coolant (-37°C).


This coolant is used by Terberg.

Shell Glycoshell can be ordered by Terberg or via the worldwide Shell


Network. See www.shell.com for distribution addresses worldwide.

T30052920 Shell Glycoshell Diluted 20L Bidon

Note!
Mixing with concentrated coolant of another type can result in worsening the protection against
corrosion and can result in damaging the engine.
Mixing with an OAT-coolant must absolutely be avoided. This can cause blockages in the system from
gel-like contaminants and can hence cause damage to the engine.
OAT-coolant can be recognised by its pink, orange or reddish colour.
DCA4 additives in combination with Shell Glycoshell are unnecessary and are therefore not
advised.

Use the coolant recommendations of the engine manufacturer if you don’t want to use Shell
Glycoshell coolant or antifreeze. The coolant recommendations are described before.

Use the coolant change interval as recommend by the engine manufacturer as described before.

Use the coolant filter interval as recommend by the engine manufacturer as described before.
Additive filters in combination with Shell Glycoshell are unnecessary and are therefore not advised.
Use Filters without additives in combination with Shell Glycoshell:

filling opening
• Wait 10-20 minutes until the oil has well run into the axle body/differential
• Fill the oil if necessary until oil just flows out of the opening

Filling procedure for hubs:


• Turn the hub so that the filler plug is above the middle of the hub.
• Fill the hub with the before mentioned quantity of oil.
• Wait 20 to 30 minutes to be sure that the oil has become completely distributed into the hub.
• Turn the hub until the lower side of the filler plug is in a horizontal position with the centre of
the hub. See figures below.*
• The oil must just flow out of the opening. If necessary fill with oil or drain off oil.

* As of 01-01-98, a level monitoring screw is mounted into the central locking bolt on the hub
cover.(See figure only for AxleTech)
This has been done to simplify checking of the correct oil level.
