inside the cab, and is controlled by switch (1).
In position “ ” the fan is OFF. By rotating the knob
clockwise, the fan is operated at low speed then the
speed increases.With the windows and doors
closed, the blower may be used to pressurise the cab
to exclude dust.
NOTE: With the windows and doors closed, the
blower may be used to pressurise the cab to exclude 3
dust. TH002071
16
Heating temperature control
The temperature of the air from the heating system is
adjusted using control knob (2). Turn the knob clock-
wise to increase air temperature and counter clockwise
to reduce it. To warm--up the cab, the air conditioning
system must be cut--off by actuating button (3) or by
moving the fan knob into position “ ”.
WARNING
The cab air filters are designed to remove dust from
the air but may not be effective for chemical vapours.
When working in an enclosed area, ensure there is
adequate ventilation as exhaust fumes can suffocate
you.
2--11
AIR CONDITIONING SYSTEM

(WHERE FITTED)
Circulating the air through the cooling unit (evapor- 1
ator) causes heat reduction. This unit also serves to
reduce the moisture and dirt content of the air, as the
wet surface of the evaporator collects dust and
pollen particles, which are drained off with the con-
densed moisture.
The system consists of two heat exchangers and a
compressor inter--connected by tubing. The cooling
unit, i.e. the evaporator, is located in the cab with the 2
second heat exchanger (condenser) mounted in 3
front of the engine radiator. TH002146
The pump (compressor) circulates the refrigerant 17
liquid R134a, which is easily heated and cooled. The
pump is mounted on the right--hand side of the
engine and driven by a “V” belt from the crankshaft
pulley.
NOTE: R--134a is the only refrigerant acceptable to
your machine air conditioning system. Prior to sea-
sonal operation of the air conditioner, it is essential
that you close the heater knob fully OFF.
Demisting and defrosting

To obtain a fast demisting/defrosting of the front, side
and rear windows, proceed as follows:
x activate the air conditioning system through but-
ton 3;
x insert the fan at maximum speed through knob 1;
x actuate knob 2 until maximum temperature is
reached.
x open the cab vents directing the hot air flow
toward the glasses.

1. This switch provides two operational modes for

the stabilisation system.
a) Switching in neutral position. When the boom
exceeds 30 degrees the lifting of both stabilisers
in inhibited. In this position, the operator must
refer to section 8 ”with stabilisers and axle loc-
king”.
b) Switch pressed. This provides the actuation of 1 2 3 4
the stabilisers and the levelling of the frame with TH002084
boom exceeding 30 degrees. In this position the 37
operator must refer to the load capacity dia-
grams ”without stabilisers and without axle loc-
king”.

STARTING THE ENGINE

IMPORTANT: Never push or tow the machine to
start the engine. Doing so may overstress the drive
train.
Prior to starting the engine, carry out the following:
x Sit in the driver’s seat;
x Ensure the parking brake is applied;

x Ensure the Powershift lever is in neutral;
x Ensure the front loader is positioned on the
ground.
WARNING
Check the area beneath the equipment to ensure
that not injury or damage will be caused when the
equipment is lowered.
NOTE: During engine start up the Powershift trans-

mission will be forced to the NEUTRAL position. If
the transmission lever is in a different position, it will
be necessary to take to the NEUTRAL position and
successively to the desired gear.
Should the engine fail to start, wait for 30 seconds
before a new attempt. This is to prevent the batteries
and the starter motor from overheating.
2--30
Under cold climates or when the engine is not

warmed--up:
x Move the starting key into position 2 (activation)
x Wait for the cold starting indicator completing the

engine pre--heating phase.
x Once the cold starting indicator light goes off,

move the pedal throttle to half stroke and turn the
starting/cut off switch fully clockwise into position
3. Operate the starter motor until the engine
starts, then release the key and let it return into
position 2.
In warm weather or when the engine is hot:

x Return the throttle to the idle position and check TH002094
that all the warning lights go out and gauge read- 47
ings are normal.
NOTE: When the key--start/stop switch is turned off,
the gauge needle assumes a random position.
IMPORTANT: If the machine has been laid up for a

period of four weeks or longer, without use, of if for
any reason the Turbocharged oil supply tube has
been disconnected, refer to the procedure outlined in
“Preparing the machine after storage” in General
Maintenance.

STARTING THE ENGINE WITH

JUMP LEADS
WARNING
Operate the starting motor only from the operator’s
seat. If consent to start is by--passed the engine may
be started inadvertently with the transmission in
gear.
Wear eye protection when charging the battery or

starting the machine engine with a slave battery.
If it necessary to use jump leads with an external bat-

tery to start the machine, proceed as follows:
x Connect one end of the jump lead to the machine

12 volt battery positive (+) terminal and the other
to the auxiliary 12 volt battery positive (+) ter-
minal.
x Connect one end of the second jump lead to the

auxiliary 12 volt battery negative (--) terminal and
the other end to the machine engine block: fol-
lowing this procedure will prevent sparks occur-
ring near the batteries. Follow the starting pro-
cedure previously described.
NOTE: When using a slave battery to start the

engine ensure that the polarity is correct otherwise
the alternator may be damaged.
x When the engine starts allow it to run at idle

speed, turn or all electrical equipment (lights,
etc.) then disconnect the jump leads in the
reverse order to the connecting procedure. This
will help protect the alternator from damage due
to extreme load charges.
NOTE: Your machine has an electromagnetic

engine stop, it is therefor not possible to operate the
machine without a battery installed. The machine will
shut down when the power supply to the electromag-
netic stop is disconnected (battery removed).

WARNING
Any attempt to lift loads beyond this will result in an
unsafe and instable situation. A
The three green LED signal situations of a decreas-

ing stability, but still normal. During normal oper-
ations, the state of the LEDs is continuously updated
and reports the current situation of the load on the TH001053 D
rear axle.

B -- YELLOW SIGNAL LIGHT (VISUAL ALARM)

The two yellow LEDs signal a critical stability situ-
ation. The rear axle sensor monitors a minimum
load, near zero, thus the instability is approaching
100% (tipping over).
DANGER
Operator’s intervention is required to remedy the
situation. It must be attempted to lower the vehicle
centre point.
Continue lifting along the arc through which the
weight is effectively moved, the nearest possible to
the machine centre of gravity or retract the telescopic
arm if it is in extended position, in order to move the
weight the nearest possible to the machine centre of
gravity.

where greater traction or stability is required. IT IS NOT ACCEPTABLE TO FILL THE TYRES
WITH FOAM UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES.
To achieve this a solution of calcium chloride and

water (which is recommended) can be added in the
tyre. This mix replaces 75% of the volume of air in the
tyre with the water / calcium mixture.
WARNING
When mixing the ballast solution it is imperative the
calcium chloride flakes are added to the water and
the solution stirred until the calcium chloride is dis-
solved. Never add water to calcium chloride, If the
flakes should contact the eyes, wash the eyes
immediately with clean COLD water for at least 5
minutes. See a doctor as soon as possible.

The table above shows the quantity of calcium chlor-
ide and water required for each tyre size option and
is based on 2.3 kg. of calcium chloride / water per litre
of water to give a 75% fill of the tyre. This calcium
chloride/water solution will give protection from
freezing down to an ambient temperature of –35 qC.
IMPORTANT: When filling a tyre with calcium chlor-

ide/water solution the valve should be at the highest
point of the wheel, figure 21.
IMPORTANT: When checking or adjusting air pres-

sure, if the tyre is liquid ballasted, the valve should be
at the lowest point, figure 22. 22

WEIGHTING OF MACHINE
Weighting of wheels entails greater vehicle stability

and a greater grip on the ground.
Depending on the weight and on the greater grip on
the wheels, also the torque the whole transmission
must withstand is increase. To avoid serious damage
to motion transmission elements, loads on axles
must be checked.
NOTE: When ballasting the machine do not exceed

the gross machine weight as identified on the data
plates; refer to Section 1 for plate position.
NOTE: The load capacity of the tyres may be lower

than the load capacity of the front axle. The lower fig-
ure of the two must be used.

DIESEL FUEL
Before handling fuel, or filling tanks, observe the fol-
lowing:
x Clean the filler cap area (1). Fill the tank at the
end of each day to reduce overnight condensa-
tion.
x Do not fill the tank to capacity. Allow room for
expansion and wipe up spilt fuel immediately.
x Never take the cap off or refuel with the engine
running or hot.
x When filling the tank, keep control of the nozzle
and do not smoke.
x If the original fuel tank cap is lost, replace it with 1
an approved cap and tighten securely. A propri-
TH004069
etary cap may not be safe.
3
x Keep equipment properly maintained.
Use fuel with a minimum cetane rating of 40 (diesel fuel
No. 2 at ambient temperatures above --7 qC (20 qF) or
No. 1 below this temperature). At very low ambient
temperatures and/or at high altitudes, a fuel with a
higher cetane rating is required.
Precautions should be taken to ensure stored fuel is
free of dirt, water, etc. Fuel should be stored in black
iron tanks, not galvanised tanks, as the zinc coating
will react with the fuel and form compounds that will
contaminate the injection pump and injectors.
Bulk storage tanks should be installed away from
direct sunlight and angled slightly so sediment in the
tank will settle away from the outlet pipe. To facilitate
moisture and sediment removal, a drain plug should
be provided at the lowest point at the opposite end
from the outlet pipe.
Fuel purchases should be arranged so that summer
grade fuels are not held over and used in winter.
WARNING
Under no circumstances should gasoline, alcohol or
dieselhol (a mixture of diesel fuel and alcohol) be
added to diesel fuel because of the increased fire or
explosion risks. In a closed container such as a fuel
tank they are more explosive than pure gasoline. Do
not use these blends. Additionally, dieselhol is not
approved due to possible inadequate lubrication of
the fuel injection system.

ELECTRIC SYSTEM PROTECTION DURING x The welding machine wires must not be over,
CHARGING AND WELDING OPERATIONS next or cross any electric wire or electronic com-
ponent while welding is being performed.
Observe the following precautions to prevent dam-

aging the electronic and electric systems:
6. Always disconnect the battery negative terminal

when charging the car batteries with a charger.
1. NEVER do or cut off any charge circuit connec-
tion, battery connections included, when the

sliding blocks every 10 hours.
NOTE: after the first 50- hour operation it is necess-

ary to check and clean the air cleaner outer element,
if needed.
The following paragraphs describe daily mainten-

ance operations to be performed in order to keep the
vehicle efficiency.
The following elements should be checked and
topped up every day:
x Engine oil
x Radiator coolant
x Transmission oil
x Washer reservoir
x Hydraulic system oil
x Cylinder and bush lubrication
Always maintain the battery terminals well tightened

and protected against corrosion. Remove the battery
and clean the terminals and the battery outer side
with a weak mixture of ammonia or sodium bicarbon-
ate diluted into water, if needed. Make sure such mix-
ture does not get into the battery. Lubricate the bat-
tery terminals with vaseline to prevent rust formation
(verdigris).
WARNING
Whenever the vehicle has to be disassembled to per-
form maintenance operations, make sure the engine
has been immobilised to prevent start up.
IMPORTANT: Make sure that exhausted oil and

exhausted oil filters are disposed of respecting human
beings and the environment. Observe the local law in
force.
As far as maintenance operation deadlines and

details, make reference to the “Maintenance chart”.
4--6
SERVICING THE ENGINE AIR CLEANER
A poorly maintained air cleaner will mean loss of

power, excessive fuel consumption and reduction in
engine life.
IMPORTANT: IIt is recommended to replace the

outer element at the 500 hour maintenance interval.
Unnecessary and too frequent cleaning exposes the 1
element to handling damage which could allow dust
and dirt to by--pass the filter process and cause
engine wear.
Extract the outer element after loosening cover (1).

If dust is present inside the outer element (3), the
element must be renewed. If satisfactory, clean the
element by tapping both ends on the palm of the
hand. Do not tap the element against a hard surface
as it will be damaged or distorted. TH004202
4
Alternatively, compressed air, as a pressure not
exceeding 2 bar may be used. Insert the air line
nozzle inside the element and blow the dust from the
inside to the outside. Blow loose particles from the
outside of the element by holding the nozzle at least
150mm from the element. Protect the eyes when
carrying out this operation.
NOTE: Do not remove inner element (2). When, after

cleaning, the outer elements (3) continues to appear
blackish or oily, it could be necessary to replace the
outer element (3) if damaged and/or replace the
inner element.
Clean the inside of the air cleaner casing using a

damp, lint--free cloth on a probe, taking care not to 2
damage the inner element. Re--install the outer
element ensuring that the rubber seal on the end is
not loose or damaged.

DAILY CHECKS REQUIRED

ENGINE OIL LEVEL
Before checking the engine oil level, stop the engine
and wait for a short period to allow the oil to drain
back into the sump. Check the oil level with the dip-
stick (1). 1
IMPORTANT: Do not overfill beyond maximum oil
level (keep oil in the safe zone on the dipstick).
If necessary, remove the filler cap (left--hand side of
engine) and add oil through the filler tube. See Spec-
ifications for the recommended oil grade. TH004204

RADIATOR COOLANT RECOVERY
NOTE: Unless affected by leakage in the cooling
system, topping up of the coolant is not necessary.
Your vehicle is equipped with a coolant recovery sys- 2
tem and as long as coolant is visible (2) between the
sight marks, topping up will not be required. During
operation of the vehicle the heating and cooling pro-
cess (expanding and contracting) of the coolant is
expelled or retrieved by the radiator from the recov-
ery tank.
WARNING TH004205
The cooling system runs under pressure and is hot. 7
Care must be taken when removing the radiator,
expansion bottle cap or hoses if the engine is hot.
Coolant should be kept off the skin. Adhere to the
precautions outlined on the antifreeze and inhibitor
containers.
RADIATOR COOLANT
During manufacture, an antifreeze solution containing
a measure of chemical inhibitor is charged into the
cooling system of your vehicle to provide protection
from corrosion and freezing.
In the event of leakage, such as may occur with a failed
heater or radiator hose, the chemically charged coolant
will be lost. In this event, it is extremely important that
any lost coolant is replaced by the correct coolant for
your vehicle. Refer to lubricants and coolants at the
back of the book or consult your local authorised
dealer.
4--8
TRANSMISSION OIL LEVEL

Re--fill the transmission with the recommended type
of oil approximately 13 Litres through the dipstick
tube situated to the right of the engine block using the
following procedure. 1
Check the level of the oil in the transmission at nor-

mal operating temperature, with engine at idle, with
the gear lever and shuttle lever in neutral using dip-
stick (1). As necessary add oil and ensure it registers
between the minimum and maximum marks on the
dipstick.
Operate the transmission and check for leaks, TH004061
recheck the transmission oil level and if necessary 8
add more oil.
NOTE: The oil level should be gauged when the dip-
stick is fully seated into the tube.
WINDSCREEN WASHER RESERVOIR

The windscreen washer reservoir (2) is located
2
inside the cab on the left side near the operator’s
seat.
Remove the filler cap and add a windscreen washer
solution as required and install the filler cap.
NOTE: Do not remove the rubber hose from the
washer motor as the motor is gravity fed and the sol-
ution will pass through the motor assembly.
NOTE: Use detergent fluid SC35 diluted with water
in relation to the temperature of use. With a 50 -- 50
TH004062
solution of detergent and water the liquid does not
freeze until -- 10 qC (14 qF). Below this temperature, 9
use pure detergent.
HYDRAULIC OIL LEVEL
The hydraulic tank cap (3) is located on the left rear

side of the cab.
The hydraulic system oil level is checked though win- 3

dow (4) located under the cap.
NOTE: The hydraulic oil should be visible in the sight

glass when all cylinders in the loader are in the trans-
port position.
Should the oil not be visible in the sight glass (4), 4

unscrew the oil reservoir filter (3) and top up with the
recommended oil, see specifications. TH004063

4--9
TIMING OF THE EXTENSION OF THE BOOM
In order to have a uniform extraction of all sections

of the boom, perform generally the following
manoeuvre prior to work operations. Extract boom 1
for about 500 -- 600 mm, retract it to full stroke and
keep it in this position for 5 -- 6 seconds, continuing
pressing the retraction control. Repeat the sequence
4 -- 5 times.
CYLINDER AND BUSH LUBRICATION
Check the two arm lifting cylinder bushes are lubri-

cated. If not, pump in the type of grease recom-
mended by the manufacturer until filling.
TH004019

RADIATOR 1
The engine radiator (1) is situated inside the engine

compartment. It must always be clean to make sure
the air flows inside it and cools the engine down.
Fins clogged with oily substances shall be clean with
a deterging solution, preferably applied with a low
pressure water washing machine.
Remove dirt on a regular basis, especially between
the radiator fins, with low pressure water or air.
TH004206
The oil radiator is mounted in front of the water radi- 14
ator. Make sure air flows between the two elements.
FRONT LOADER ARM SLIDING BLOCKS
The loader arm must be regularly lubricated to main-

tain its operation efficiency. Always use recom-
mended grease (see inside page of the back cover)
and apply it in the sliding points, after the loader arm
has been extended. Distribute the grease so that it
flows inside, towards the sliding blocks which cannot
be accessed.
TH004066
15
On the telescopic arm fixed section there are two
lubricators taking grease to inner sliding blocks.
Pump in enough grease to guarantee the arm proper
sliding. Check the new grease has replaced the old.
IMPORTANT: (only for 17 m) it is necessary to greave

withdraw the arm completely with the control lever in
“retract” position for a couple of seconds to make the
arm outer cylinder work properly. Then extend it for
40--50 cm and withdraw it again by operating the lever
for a few more seconds. Repeat this operation 7--8
times.

semble the pod filter element with the seal facing the
inside of the cover.
The heater matrix for cab heating and air condition-

ing evaporator for cab cooling are fitted in the com-
partment under the seat. Check that the radiator core 1 1
and the fins are free from damage and are not dirty. TH004065
17
NOTE: The filter should be cleaned more frequently
when operating in extremely dusty conditions. Reas-
semble as previously described.
WHEELS AND TYRES
WARNING
Industrial tyres because of their size contain large
volumes of air and as such extreme caution must be
taken when inflating these tyres. Suitable protection
against explosion of the tyre should be used between
you and the tyre during inflation.
The maximum pressure to which you can inflate your
tyre is moulded into the tyre wall for your guidance.
Consult your local dealer for assistance.
TH004071
Check and adjust the front and rear tyre pressures 18

and inspect the tread and sidewalls for damage.
Adjust the tyre pressures to suit the load being car-
ried. See Tyre Pressure and Load tables.
When fitting new tyres to your vehicle it is imperative

that you have fitted the correct tyres as recommended
by the vehicle manufacturer.
Incorrect tyre fitting could result with the tyre profile not
fitting the rim profile. This will result in an inadequate
seal allowing a high pressure leak or premature bead
failure.
Inspect the rims for cracks or damage on a regular
basis, and if either have penetrated the bead area
change the wheel rim.
TH004029

element, then immerse completely in warm water
containing a little non--sudsing detergent.
Allow to soak for at least 15 minutes with the open
end above the water line. After soaking, shake the
element in the water, taking care not to allow dirty
water outside the element to splash over to the
inside.
1
TH004208
24
IMPORTANT: Never use fuel oil, petrol, solvent or
water hotter than the hand can stand, otherwise the
element may be damaged. Use only a mild non--suds-
ing detergent and warm water to clean.
Rinse the element in clean running water, Figure 24,
allow the water to run from the inside through the
element. If a hose is used do not use high pressure. A
gentle trickle of water is sufficient and will not damage
the paper pleats. Allow to dry naturally.
IMPORTANT: Do not attempt to ‘dry’ the element
with heat or compressed air or install before thor-
oughly dry as it may rupture. It is recommended that
a new element is installed at this service and the
washed element allowed to dry and then be retained 25
for installation at the next service.
After drying thoroughly, use a light inside the element
to check for damage to the paper. The element
should be discarded if pin pricks of light can be seen
or if there are areas of the paper that appear thin. If
the paper is bunched, the metal casing of the
element is distorted or the seal is loose or damaged,
then the element should likewise be discarded and
a new one installed.

Check condition of the fan belt, ensure the belt is not
frayed and is free of nicks and tears. A correctly ten-
sioned belt can be deflected 13--19 mm when hand
pressure is applied midway between the alternator
and crankshaft pulley. If belt (1) needs to beadjusted, 2
loosen nut (2) and actuate adjusting screw (3) to
modify the tension of the belt. Re--torque the mount-
ing bolts to 27.0 Nm after adjustment.
IMPORTANT: When prying the alternator away from 1

the engine, apply pressure at the front housing only. TH004199
Do not pry on the rear housing as damage may 44
result. Also, adhere to the alternator precautions in
this Section.

VALVE CLEARANCE
4 3 2 1
Correct valve clearance is one of the essential
factors for the engine high performance. Excessive
clearance may cause engine noise and increase
wear, while insufficient clearance may reduce the
engine performance and burn the valves.
To check clearance, rotate the crankshaft clockwise

so that the valves are completely open. Check and
adjust the valves. 4 3 2 1

EVERY 2000 HOURS OR EVERY TWO

YEARS
ENGINE COOLANT
The engine cooling system (1) is factory filled with a 1

high quality water and antifreeze mixture. The anti-
freeze contains a chemical corrosion preventative
enhancing and extending the protection provided by
conventional additives.
The inhibitor will:
x Increase rust prevention
x Reduce scale formation TH004206

47
x Minimise cylinder wall erosion (pitting)
x Reduce foaming of the coolant
The chemical inhibitor must be replenished, at inter-

vals, to maintain the optimum protection level. This
protection is provided by draining and flushing the
system and refilling with a 50% solution of Premium
antifreeze or, where this antifreeze is not available,
with a measured dosage of chemical inhibitor.
Draining and refilling the cooling system
WARNING
The cooling system operates under pressure which is
controlled by the radiator pressure cap. It is dangerous
to remove the pressure cap while the system is hot.
When cool, use a thick cloth and turn the cap slowly to
the first stop and allow the pressure to escape before
fully removing the cap. Coolant should be kept away
from the skin. Adhere to the precautions outlined on the
antifreeze and inhibitor containers, where used.
IMPORTANT: It is essential that an approved pres-

sure cap is used. If the cap is mislaid or damaged,
obtain a replacement from your dealer.
4--29
Remove the coolant tank cap (1) and loosen the hose
clamps for the fluid flow to the cabin heating system.
Disconnect the rubber hoses and make them pass 1
through the engine underbody in order to drain the
fluid into an external container.
After draining, flush the cooling system with clean
water, via the cooling tank pressure cap (1).
When the flushing process is complete, install the
hose. Refill the cooling system via the radiator recov-
ery bottle pressure cap (1) until it is full.
NOTE: To avoid trapping air in the system, fill the
TH004216
radiator as slowly as practicable thereby allowing
any air pockets to disperse. 48
The coolant to be used is dependent upon local avail-
ability.
Using Premium Antifreeze
Use a solution of 50% clean water and 50% anti-
freeze. The inhibitor already in this antifreeze is suffi-
cient to protect your engine for a further 1200 hours
or two years, whichever occurs first.
Using a proprietary antifreeze
Where antifreeze meeting the above--mentioned
specification is not available, use a proprietary,
heavy duty antifreeze premixed with 5% chemical
inhibitor.
WARNING
Inhibitor solution is irritating to eyes and skin. It con-
tains buffered potassium hydroxide.
x Avoid contact with eyes or prolonged and

repeated skin contact.
x Wear protective eyewear when using.
x In case of contact with eyes, flush with water for
15 minutes and obtain medical attention.
x Wash skin with soap and water after use.
x Keep out of reach of children.
4--30
Using plain water
If you reside in a country where antifreeze is not

available, use clean water premixed with 5% chemi-
cal inhibitor.
Mix two complete bottles of inhibitor with 23 Litres of

clean water. This will provide more coolant mixture
than is actually required. The excess coolant should
be kept in a specially marked container and used for
top up purposes.
After refilling the system – All coolant

solutions
Check that the coolant level is within the area of the

sight glass in the radiator header tank.
Start and run the engine to circulate the coolant. Stop

the engine and top up the radiator, via the filler cap, with
the same coolant solution, as previously described.
NOTE: The coolant level may drop as it is pumped

around the cooling system.
The foot brakes do not require adjustment other than

an oil change every 2 years, or before if the oil is low
or a leak has occurred. Check the brake cylinders for
signs of leakage. Ensure the oil level in the brake res-
ervoir is checked periodically.

The hydraulic circuit is protected by a grilled filter which

must be maintained to prevent dirt from penetrating the
hydraulic circuit.
When the oil is drained out of the reservoir, the output
grilled filter can be removed for service. To dot this,
remove the plate (1) which makes it possible to access
the oil tank. The plate can be reached from the com-
partment under the cabin.
This grilled filter should be cleaned in a suitable solution
to remove all dirt and impurities. TH004055

HYDRAULIC OIL
Check the hydraulic oil level at the eye glass (3) with
the loader in transport position and, if necessary, top 2
up the reservoir through the filler cap (2) with the
recommended oil, see Specifications. Operate the
loader to purge air from the system and re--check the
reservoir oil level.
NOTE: Should it be necessary to drain the hydraulic

reservoir oil at any time, place a suitable container
capable of holding at least 180 Litres in position and 3

TURBOCHARGER
The turbocharger bearing can be seriously damaged

if not lubricated appropriately and if the following pre-
cautions are not adopted.
In order to prevent damaging the turbocharger

bearing during the first start--up after a new turbo-
charger has been installed, or in case the turbochar-
ger oil supply should be disconnected for any reason,
or should the engine be started for the first time after
being stored for or more than 4 weeks, proceed as
follows:
1. Disconnect the turbocharger oil input and output

pipes and pour in clean engine oil through the
filling hole. Make sure no impurities get into the
turbocharger.
2. Remove the turbocharger air input pipe and turn

the rotation unit by hand in order to pre--lubricate
bearings.
3. Reconnect the oil input pipe and the air input

pipe, but not the oil output pipe.
4. Disconnect the wire going to the fuel shut off

electrovalve. Place an appropriate container
under the oil output oil and let the engine run until
oil comes out of the hole.
5. Reconnect the oil output pipe with a new gasket

and tighten the fastening nuts to the prescribed
torque. Refer to the Technical Data in Section 8.
Reconnect the arrest electric magnet wire.
6. Check the engine oil level and top up, if needed.

Start the engine and check that there are no oil
or air leaks.
7. Look at the oil pressure warning light. If this

warning light does not go off after the engine has
been running idle a couple of seconds, stop the
engine immediately and contact the dealership.
Whenever the engine is started, let it run idle

(1000 rpm max) for 60 seconds before working
under load, in order to assure the turbocharger
bearing oil supply is correct. Even before turning the
engine off, let it run idle for two minutes, in order to
let the turbocharger bearing oil cool down.

FOUR WHEEL DRIVE TYRE COMBINATIONS

The tyres fitted to machines with four wheel drive have been carefully selected to match the gearing of the
transmission and axles. When renewing worn or damaged tyres, always install tyres of the same make, model
and size as those removed. The installation of other tyre combinations may result in excessive tyre wear, loss
of usable power or severe damage to drive line components. If in doubt, consult your Dealer.
