2.6.6 Remote control


Remote control (option) is a system that improves operator safety, when
used as intended. Remote control allows the operator to control the unit
from a safe distance, without needing to go to a potentially dangerous area.
Typical dangerous areas in this meaning are conditions where a risk of fall
of ground exists, such as open stopes.
Do not drive into an area with a risk of fall of ground. Use remote control.
Read the separate remote control system instructions prior to operation.

2.7 Fire risk control measures

WARNING
FIRE AND EXPLOSION HAZARD!
An explosion hazard could exist in addition to the fire hazard.
Ignition sources like smoking, open flames, welding work and sparks
together with combustible materials like fuel, can cause fire and if
not avoided, could lead to death or severe injury.
Ignition sources are prohibited in the vicinity of the machine ready
for operation or in operation.
During maintenance appropriate fire prevention and protection
measures must be followed including but not limited to trained
personnel, proper fire extinguishing equipment and agents. Before
any maintenance or repairs requiring ignition sources like welding or
flame cutting, a proper risk assessment must be carried out prior to
the start of the work to control the risk.

Smoking and open fire are prohibited in the vicinity of the product. Access
to all fire-fighting equipment must be granted at all times, especially during
maintenance and repair works.
All fire-fighting equipment must be inspected and serviced regularly,
according to local regulations. Damaged fire-fighting equipment and used
fire extinguishers must be replaced immediately.
Know the various types of fires and the appropriate fire-fighting methods.
Be aware that various fires must not be extinguished with water. In most
cases special extinguishing agents, dry powders or deoxygenating are
required.
All personnel must be trained regularly in fire-fighting methods, in
cooperation with local authorities and rescue organizations. In case of fire,
the fire alarm must be activated and all available personnel must contribute
in the fire-fighting according to the predetermined fire plan of the workplace.

2.7.2 Fire prevention


Fires in any environment are extremely dangerous and can quickly get out
of control if not properly dealt with.
The following recommendations will help prevent the likelihood of a fire on
the machine:
• Always keep the machine and general area clean of flammable materials
such as fluids and lubricants, dirt and debris, and any material that could
cause or amplify fire. Clean all fuel or oil spills as quickly as possible.
• Report all electrical wiring and electrical component malfunctions to a
service personnel immediately.
• Ensure that the engine air intake, fuel and exhaust systems are
maintained properly.
• Inspect the machine regularly for hydraulic and oil leaks.
• Ensure that you are aware of and are familiar with all fire fighting
equipment on the machine. Also ensure that all fire fighting equipment is
inspected regularly and kept in working order. If the machine does not
have any fire fighting equipment, ensure that required fire fighting
equipment is available.
2.7.3 Fire retardant and flammable materials
The machine fire safety has been taken into consideration during product
engineering and manufacturing. When possible, fire retardant materials
have been chosen to improve fire safety. Examples of these measures and
material choices to prevent and control fires are the following:
• Cables used are in compliance with the IEC 60332-1 standard (Test on
electric and optical fibre cables under fire conditions).
• Surface materials of the hydraulic hoses, cable protective hoses and fire
suppression system (Ansul) hoses are MSHA approved and their inner
tubes are made of nitrile-rubber.
• Switchgears and slip ring unit are mainly made of metal.
• Fire area with fire wall has been made for the diesel engine.
• Roof panels in the cabin are made of fire retardant material.
• Cables in the engine compartment are inside a fireproof sleeve.
In spite of engineering and use of fire retardant materials, there are also
flammable materials in the machine e.g. inside switchgears, in valves,
plastic components, batteries and tires. Also oils, greases and paints used
in the machine are flammable materials. Keep the machine clean at all
times; dirt in the machine increases fire risk.

2.7.5 FS1000 Fire suppression system (optional)


The FS1000 fire suppression system is installed in the machine for fire
suppression. The system is a fixed foam fire suppression system. Due to
the water content in the foam extinguishing agent, this fire suppression
system is suitable for ambient temperature above 0 °C. The primary
function of the system is to protect the operator. It greatly reduces risk to
people and property by providing effective fire protection and, therefore,
safer operating conditions. The system has been specifically designed to
suppress hydrocarbon fuel oil fires by application of foam extinguishing
agent. The foam will cut the fire's oxygen supply off and act as a vapour
seal over the fuel. The foam's water content cools the area down, which
reduces risk of re-ignition.
The discharge circuit nozzles are arranged in the form of a ring. It consists
of fire rated hose with a series of nozzles aimed at the risk areas.
The system is empty when delivered to the customer and has to be made
operational before it can be used. See separate manufacturer's manual
attached to the Service & Repair Manual for more information.

Activating the FS1000 system


The system can be actuated both manually and automatically. After
activation, the nozzles spray fire extinguishing foam for about 60 seconds.

Manual activation of the FS1000 system

1 2

Actuate the system by turning the activation module valve handle (1) 90
degrees in direction of arrows (counter clockwise).
The safety tie (2) breaks itself. The safety tie must always be replaced after
activation.

Automatic activation of the FS1000 system


The system is activated automatically by the fire detection and system
activation tubing when the heat caused by the fire reaches approximately
150 °C.
Note! The system may activate automatically, but if you observe fire on the
machine, always activate the system manually.

Engine switch-off system with FS1000

Engine shutdown kit


The basic function of engine shutdown kit is to detect fire suppression
system activation, give the operator an audiovisual alarm and shut down
the engine after a given delay period.
The kit contains a twin pressure switch (near electrical system) and an
automatic engine shutdown panel (in the cabin).

Twin pressure switch


The twin pressure switch is factory set to 900 kPa falling and will switch
contacts if and when the system pressure falls below the setting of the
switch. Such a drop of pressure can be due to system activation or
pressure loss from a leak.

Engine shutdown panel

1 2 3 4 5 6

1. Green light for system OK status

3. System fault or discharge warning light
4. Engine shutdown delay timer of 6 seconds with 20 second time extension
button
5. Engine shutdown test button (simulating system discharge)
6. Key operated engine shutdown override (for authorized personnel only)

The twin pressure switch is wired into engine shutdown panel triggering
audio-visual alarm and starting engine shutdown delay timer sequence on
drop of pressure. Timers are factory set to an automatic 6 seconds, with a
20 second manual timer reset. If there is no operator intervention,
automatic engine shutdown will take place 6 seconds after fire suppression
system activation.

If the button 4 is pressed during the 6 second countdown, it resets the timer
to an extended 20 second delay, allowing the operator to have both hands
free to drive the vehicle for another 20 seconds before the engine shuts
down automatically.
The panel is fitted with a manual override function (6) to allow the
equipment to be moved if necessary. However, to reduce the risk of the
equipment being operated with the fire suppression system discharged, the
override button must be held depressed (spring return button) to maintain
override. As soon as the button is released, the unit will return to the
shutdown mode.
2.7.6 ANSUL Fire suppression system (optional)
The ANSUL fire suppression system is installed in the machine for fire
suppression. The system is a cartridge operated dry chemical system with
fixed nozzle distribution network. The system can be either manual or
automatic.
Note! The system is not designed or intended to extinguish all fires. It
extinguishes mainly fires in the engine compartment. It is extremely
important that alternative fire fighting equipment is available in case the
system does not totally extinguish a fire.

2.8.1 Noise

DANGER
NOISE HAZARD!
Noise level emitted by the machine exceeds 80 dB(A). Continuous
exposure to noise will cause hearing impairment.
Always wear approved hearing protection.

Measured sound level


The measurement of the sound pressure level at the operator’s position
has been measured in accordance of European Directives 98 / 37 / EC and
2000 / 14 / EC.
• Sound pressure level at the operator’s position: 93 dB (A) (at high idle
(2300 rpm))
2.8.2 Vibration

WARNING
VIBRATION HAZARD!
Exposure to vibration could cause severe health effects.
Follow the maintenance schedule and keep the machine on good
operating condition. Participate in the health surveillance and

Measured vibration level


This loader had following vibration values in our tests:
• Hand arm vibration value: a8hw = 1.9 m/s²
• Whole body vibration value: a8hw = 1.0 m/s²
Note that vibration values are highly sensitive to driving speed and terrain
driven. Above values are valid for our testing environment and testing work
cycle.
Note! The vibration emission level given in this manual has been measured
in accordance with a whole body vibration standard ISO 2631-1:1997.
The vibration emission level may vary because of the different ways
in which vehicle can be driven (for example: driving speed and
surface smoothness) and may increase above the level given in this
information sheet. This could lead to significantly higher exposure
values when the vehicle is used regularly in such a way (for example:
very high driving speed in very rough terrain).

Note! To be accurate, an estimation of the level of exposure to vibration


experienced during a given period of work should also take into
account the times when the vehicle is standing by and when it is
running but not actually doing the job. This may significantly reduce
the exposure level over the total working period.

2.8.3 Dust

DANGER
DUST HAZARD!
Breathing dust will cause death or severe injury.
Always wear approved respirator!

Breathing or inhaling dust particles will cause death or severe injury. Always
work with a respirator approved by the respirator manufacturer for the job
you are doing. It is essential that the respirator that you use protects you
from the tiny dust particles which cause silicosis and which may cause
other serious lung diseases. You should not use the product until you are
sure your respirator is working properly. This means the respirator must be
checked to make sure that it is clean, that its filter has been changed, and
to otherwise make sure the respirator will protect you in the way it is meant
to.
In any workplace where respirators are necessary to protect the health of
the employee, the employer must establish and implement a written
respiratory protection program with work site specific procedures and
elements including but not limited to the selection of respirators, proper
usage, maintenance and care, cleaning and disinfecting and training.
Regularly clean your working environment properly to minimize the dust
level in the air. Always make sure dust has been cleaned off your boots and
clothes when you leave your shift.
Respiratory silica dust is a hazard, which requires special attention. The
smallest particles of dust are the most harmful. They may be so fine that
you cannot see them. Remember, you must protect yourself from the
danger of breathing or inhaling dust.
2.8.4 Hazardous gases
In a workplace where hazardous gases are present, the employer must
monitor the air quality, define required actions to protect the employees and
provide protective equipment, such as respirators. The employer is
responsible for ensuring that the safety of employees is not compromised
due to hazardous gases in the environment.
A closed cabin with air conditioning system does not guarantee that the
cabin is free of harmful gases or particles. Wear an approved respirator.

2.8.5 Diesel particulate matter

DANGER
DIESEL EMISSION HAZARD!
Prolonged exposure to diesel emissions will cause death or severe
injury.
Only operate and maintain the equipment according to all applicable
instructions, procedures, laws and regulations.
Always wear approved personal protective equipment.

Diesel particulate matter (DPM) is a component of diesel exhaust (DE) that


includes soot particles made up primarily of carbon, ash, metallic abrasion
particles, sulfates and silicates. In a confined environment such as
underground or in a workshop, the diesel exhaust particles can not
disperse or be diluted as in an open atmosphere. Exposure to DE/DPM
causes severe long term health effects, in addition to short term effects
such as eye and respiratory irritation.
The end user of this equipment must take additional steps addition to those
provided on the equipment in order to mange this risk. These include, but
are not limited to:
a) Ensure disposable filters are fitted where the equipment is designed to
allow use of these.
b) Ensure ventilation volumes in the areas where this equipment is used
are above those required to maintain the operator exposure rate below
those specified by local regulations or company determined levels.
c) Vehicle movement tracking and control to match the number of vehicles
in a ventilation split the acceptable DPM exposure limit.
d) Implement a monitoring program for worker exposure to DPM
e) Use low emission fuels
f) Establish and maintain a fuel management program to ensure fuel
quality is as high as possible
g) Establish an engine testing program to determine when engine DPM
levels are excessive
h) Establish and maintain a preventive maintenance program to minimise
increased production of DPM by the engine

Responsibilities of the machine operating/maintaining personnel


To reduce your and your colleague's exposure to diesel exhaust, you as the
operator or maintainer must:
• Follow proper operating and driving practices. Keep the engine
revolutions as steady as possible; avoid unnecessary acceleration and
deceleration. Do not lug the engine down.
• Avoid unnecessary idling of the engine.

Copyright © Sandvik 81 (218)

Maintenance Manual LH203

• If the equipment has a closed cabin, keep the windows closed during
operations. Keep the cabin clean and in good condition. Pay special
attention to the air conditioning unit and to it's filter as well as to the door
and window seals.
• Monitor the information provided by the control system as well as the
indicator lights. If any warning or alarms appear, take corrective action
immediately.
• Maintain the equipment according to the instructions, especially the
engine manufacturer's instructions.
• Follow any site specific procedures and guidelines relating to monitoring
emission levels and trends. Follow also any site specific instructions
relating to means of controlling exposure to diesel emissions.
• Wear approved PPE according to site requirements.

2.9 Emergency procedures


It is the employer’s responsibility to plan and prepare site specific
instructions to be followed in case of an emergency or an accident. The
machine manufacturer can also give certain general guidelines which can
be used as help in establishing the required procedures. The following
information should be considered when devising a site specific emergency
plan. This list is not meant to be comprehensive.
• Emergency stop: If the machine has to be stopped immediately, use the
emergency stop functions. Emergency stopping stops all the ongoing
functions excluding lowering suspension cylinders. For more information,
see the section, "Emergency stop function".
• Emergency exit: In an emergency situation, use the safest escape way
or emergency exit. Also rescue personnel can use these exits to reach a
user in the operator station. For more information, see the section,
"Emergency exit".
• Loss of stability: If there is sudden loss of stability during tramming, the
safest place for the user is usually inside operator station, seated on the
operator seat and seat belt fastened.
• Falling objects: In case of falling objects, the operator should stay inside
operator station until it is safe to leave the machine. The operator may
also, when possible, move the machine away from the hazard zone,
without leaving the operator station.
• Fire: In mining conditions, it is extremely important to avoid fires. If an
accident does happen and there is a fire, it has to be extinguished as
soon as possible. For more information, see the section, "Fire risk control
measures".
• Accidents with chemicals: In an emergency situation or accident where
chemicals are involved, see the required first aid measures and
instructions in the material safety data sheets.

82 (218) Copyright © Sandvik

Maintenance Manual LH203

• Electric accidents: If the machine touches an electric power line, the


following instructions may prevent injuries or death.
- If you are standing outside the machine, do not touch any part of the
machine or try to get onto the machine. Keep everybody away from
the machine.
- If you are on the machine, do not try to get off it. If the machine is
touching a power line, the machine can catch on fire. If the machine
has rubber tires, leave the machine as soon as the tires start
smoking. JUMP OUT! Do not make yourself a conductor for the
electric current to flow from the machine to the ground. Move away
from the machine by jumping, or by leaping so that only one foot at a
time touches the ground. The electric field in the ground can cause a
dangerously high voltage between your legs. You will not be in safety
until you are about 20 meters away from the machine.
- If some component of the machine touches an electric power line,
the whole machine becomes live. Although the insulating rubber tires
may make the situation seem safe, a person standing on the ground
and touching the machine can get a fatal electric shock. Machine
needs to be isolated at least for 24 hours before taking any actions to
the machine.
- If you come to a place where an electric accident has taken place, do
not risk your own life by acting incautiously to save others. Try to find
out whether a high or a low voltage is involved. Where high voltage is
involved, do not start any rescuing attempts until the power company
has cut off the voltage. It can be dangerous even to approach a
person in contact with the electric conductor, or with the machine that
touches the conductor. Remember that high voltage power lines
have no fuses that blow; the conductors are always dangerous, until
a qualified electrician has made them dead.
- If a person is in contact with a low voltage line or with a machine that
is touching a low voltage line, rescuing can be attempted by using a
dry and clean rope, or a dry and unpainted piece of wood. Anyone
who is attempting the rescue must keep as far away from the victim
as possible. The victim must not be touched until he is completely
disconnected from the live components. If the victim is unconscious,
first aid measures must be started immediately.
After an accident or emergency situation: Being on site where an
incident has occurred, do not take any actions with the equipment involved.
Do not speculate or give opinions on the cause. Contact your Sandvik
representative to get more information.

2.10.3 Tire maintenance

Working with inflated tires and multi-piece wheel rims


Due to the high inflation pressures applied to multi-piece wheel rims, tire
and wheel rim assemblies house enormous amounts of energy. If this
energy is handled improperly, the tire and wheel rim assemblies have the
potential to explode or release air suddenly, possibly causing death or
severe personal injury to those in the area. By reading this section
thoroughly and following your local mine site standards, the risk of this
danger occurring can be reduced.

DANGER
EXPLOSION AND FLYING MATERIAL HAZARD!
During handling the full pressurized tire may burst and will cause
severe injury or material damage.
A broken rim part under pressure can fly apart and will cause severe
injury.
Tire inflation must always be done inside a tire cage. Do not stand in
front of the wheel during tire inflation. Use an extension hose, so
that you are able to stand to one side.
Never remove, move or store a tire that is inflated to full
pressurization.

When excess pressure is applied to a tire, it has the potential to explode or


release air suddenly out from its sides. It is important for all persons in the
area of tires to stand outside the area of trajectory.

Safe maintenance procedures


Each person involved in servicing the wheel rim assemblies should be
familiar with the following before any maintenance is performed:
1. Always deflate the tire and then remove its valve core before removing
the wheel rim assembly from the axle.
2. Always apply rubber lubricant to the bead and rim mating surfaces during
assembly of the tire and rim, unless explicitly stated otherwise by the tire
manufacturer.
3. Always de-mount tires from the wheel rims before repairs are made to
the rims.
4. Always inflate tires using a restraining device and remote inflation
equipment. Tires should only be inflated outside of the restraining device
if:
• The rim is mounted to the vehicle and the tire is already inflated more
than 80% (as recommended in the "Tire and Rim Safety Awareness
Program" document published by the Mine Safety and Health
Administration in 1996).
• Inflation is required to hold the tire bead onto the rim ledge and
create an airtight seal with the tire and bead.
5. After inflation, always inspect the tire and rim assembly while it is in the
restraining device to ensure it is properly seated and locked. If
adjustments are necessary, deflate the tire before the adjustments are
made.
6. Never install a tube in a tubeless tire.
7. Never weld or cut in the proximity of inflated tires.
8. Never allow equipment or any part of your body to rest or lean against
the restraining device during tire inflation.
9. Never hammer, strike, or force the lock ring into the correct seating while
the tire is pressurized.
10. Never rework, weld, braze, or otherwise heat any cracked, broken, or
damaged wheel rim component.
11. Never apply heat to a multi-piece wheel rim.
12. Never stand or allow others to stand in the area of trajectory of a multi-
piece rim assembly unless the purpose of which can be proven to be
absolutely necessary.
13. Never inflate the tire until the entire lock ring is fully seated in the rim
assembly.
14. Never mismatch wheel rim components. All wheel rim components
should be the same size, type, and from the same manufacturer.
15. Never re-inflate a flat tire without first inspecting the entire wheel rim
assembly for unsafe conditions.

Maintenance Manual LH203

Recommended tools
• Air pressure gauge with filter
• Inflation tool (clip-on chuck, hose, and in-line valve or preset regulator)
• Air compressor
• Valve core removers and reamers
• Spare valve caps
• Valve cap wrenches
• Tire restraining device or other suitable restraining device
Note! Release a small amount of air from the inflation valve before
applying the air gauge. This will prevent air from clogging the gauge
assembly.

Note! Note! All pressure gauges should be tested against a master gauge.

Note! Do not use steel hammers on rim assemblies. Use only rubber, lead,
plastic, or brass head hammers so as not to damage rim
components.

Tire handling recommendations

DANGER
HANGING LOAD HAZARD!
Accidental falling of a hanging load on people will cause death or
severe injury.
Never stand under or near a hanging load. Always use a suitable
lifting device with adequate lifting capacity.

1. Always use a suitable lifting device capable of supporting the weight of


the tire.
2. Always use flat straps when lifting tires. Do not lift tires directly with a
crane hook.
3. When using a forklift, lift the tire with the forks underneath the tread. Do
not lift the tire from the bead.
4. When available, use specialized tire handling equipment.
• When using special equipment, be careful not to hold the tire too
tightly. This will distort the shape of the tire.
5. If supplied, leave bead protectors in place until the tire is to be mounted
to a rim.

2.11.3 Disposal
This section gives useful advice to identify which parts of the product are
recoverable, with a view to recycling or reusing the materials or
components for new applications. To ensure environmentally sound
treatment of a product and all of its components, the recovery issues are
already taken into account during the design phase of the product. Correct
handling of waste materials reduces costs and promotes the best use of the
components and materials.
• Machine body: All the steel constructions and the copper and aluminum
in the electrical wiring are recyclable. The metals can be melted and
used as raw material for new products, except for parts that have been in
contact with substances that are regarded as hazardous waste. The
contaminated parts can usually be simply cleaned or rinsed, after which
they can be recycled.
• Plastic: Most plastic parts are recyclable, similarly to the metals. Each
plastic part carries information on the material used and a manufacturing
date, which can be used for determining whether the part can be
recycled.
• Rubber parts and tires: Tires can be recycled, and used as recovered
material. Worn-out tires can be returned to the dealer from whom they
were originally bought. Rubber tubes and hoses must be cleaned before
they are disposed of.
• Glass: Glass can be recycled, as well as laminated glass such as
windshields and windows. Various types of glasses shall be sorted
according to local rules and regulations.
• Electrical and electronic waste: Electrical and electronic components
contain valuable and recyclable materials, and in addition a set of
chemicals and heavy metals. Electrical components that are classified as
hazardous waste (accumulators, batteries, circuit boards) and other
hazardous waste must be delivered to a licensed waste treatment
location or be disposed of according to local regulations. Never dump
hazardous electrical or electronic waste.
• Gas discharge / xenon lamps: Gas discharge lamps contain mercury
and are hazardous waste. They must not be dumped. Lamps must be
taken care of by an authorized hazardous waste disposal company.
• Air conditioning units: Air conditioning units, which contain CFC and
HCFC compounds, must always be delivered for treatment to a licensed
waste disposal facility.

92 (218) Copyright © Sandvik


ID: BG00710171 en-US B.001.1 2016-04-04
Maintenance Manual LH203

• Batteries: Batteries are classified as environmentally hazardous material


and require special handling and storing in accordance with applicable
ordinances, rules and regulations. Batteries can cause serious harm to
the ecosystem; lead in the batteries is highly toxic and it accumulates in
the body over time. The disposal shall be taken care of by an authorized
waste disposal company. According to producer responsibility, producers
of batteries and accumulators are also responsible to accomplish the
waste management of batteries that they have placed on the market.
Batteries also contain diluted sulphuric acid. The acid is extremely
corrosive and it burns skin, eats holes in clothing, and can cause
blindness if it gets in the eyes. If you get battery acid on your skin, or
clothes, rinse them immediately with water. Use sodium bicarbonate to
neutralize the acid. If it gets in the eyes, flush the eyes with water, and
call a doctor.
• Oils and fluids: Oil waste must not be disposed of by burning, and
under no circumstances must oil be poured down the drain or into water
systems. Waste oil shall be collected in appropriate containers. The best
containers for collecting oil waste are the original containers for the oils.
The original containers already have the necessary warning labels, are
easy to close, and can be moved around fairly easily. Always strike out
the product name on the label and clearly label the container "oil waste".
Empty oil containers must not be dumped in landfills without having been
cleaned. Cleaned plastic containers can be disposed of as regular waste.
Most countries have arranged a recycling system for metal barrels.
Greases, fuels, solvents, and other substances must not be mixed with
oil waste.
• Solid waste containing oil: Oil filters, oil rags, fuel filters, and oil
absorbents must be collected in a separate container.
• Solvents and oil trap sludge: Solvents and sludge that has collected on
the surface of the oil traps can both be collected in a same container. The
surface layer in the oil traps must be removed regularly, and the entire
trap must be drained at least once a year, including the sludge at the
bottom. Do not mix the oil trap sludge with oil waste.
• Fuel oil: Fuel oil is hazardous waste that must in all cases be processed
by an authorized waste treatment plant.
• Radiator, brake, and clutch fluids: Used radiator, brake, and clutch
fluids contain traces of heavy metals, zinc, and copper, for which reason
they must not be poured down the drain or mixed with oil waste. They are
to be collected in a separate, labeled container and delivered to the same
plants as the oil waste.

2.12 Potential product related hazards identified by the user


Sandvik has taken all necessary precautions to design a safe machine. If,
in spite of these efforts, you observe a hazard for which you believe there
are insufficient safety measures, immediately inform your supervisor. If
necessary, also inform the other employees working with the product.

3.1 Recommended operating conditions


Because the loader normally operates in mine conditions, its engine,
transmission and hydraulic systems are filled with oils suitable for typical
conditions. However, in cold conditions oils may thicken. This makes
starting difficult and the torque converter and hydraulic pumps may be
damaged. For this reason, avoid any temporary parking in frosty weather. If
the machine is to work in very cold or very hot conditions, see the
Maintenance Manual and Engine manufacturer’s Instruction Manual for the
correct oils and the proper fuel selection.

A Main
B Instrument panel

The circuit breaker are located at the instrument panel in the cabin.
The Circuit breaker fuses F1 - F9 have a push-button that pops up when
the circuit breaker is triggered. After clarification of a fault situation, the
circuit breaker can be reset by pushing the button back down. Main fuse
F300 are ceramic fuse.
Triggering of the circuit breaker can be caused by, for example, temporary
and/or transient disturbance in electricity distribution. In that case, the
circuit breaker is reset and the situation monitored in order to determine
whether the disturbance is recurring. An actual fault in wiring or some
component, for example a short circuit, can also trigger the circuit breaker.
In that case the electrical wiring and components of the circuit breaker in
question must be examined.

5.5.12 Change transmission oil and filter element


Only perform maintenance work when the machine is parked on a
level, hard surface. Use the appropriate tools and safety equipment
for the task and be sure you understand how to use them before
performing any maintenance work. Replace or repair faulty tools and
equipment. When performing maintenance and repair work, ensure
there are no unauthorized persons in the working area.

Only people who have been given specialized operation and service
training are allowed to perform operations, service, and adjustment
procedures. Read and ensure you understand the following
instructions before servicing the equipment. To avoid potential
damage and injuries, carefully plan your work beforehand.

Be careful when handling hot oil. Wear suitable protective gloves,


protective clothing and safety goggles when handling oil.

When changing or adding fluids and oils, only use new fluids and
oils meeting manufacturer’s requirements.

Draining is best accomplished immediately after the vehicle has been


operating. The lubricant is then warm and will flow freely allowing full
drainage in minimum time. This is particularly desirable in cold weather.
1. Place a large enough oil container under the transmission oil drain point.
• Container minimum capacity 100 liters.
2. Open the filler cap and remove the dipstick.
3. Open the oil drain plug at the bottom of the transmission.
4. Allow oil to drain completely to the container.

5.5.13 Change oil in planetary hubs and differentials

WARNING
HOT OIL HAZARD!
Hot oil could cause severe burn injury.
Wear suitable protective gloves, protective clothing and goggles
when handling oil.

RISK OF PROPERTY DAMAGE


Wrong types of fluid and oil may cause damage to the machine.
NOTICE When changing or adding any type of fluid or oil, only use new fluid
and oil meeting manufacturer’s requirements.

Note! It is recommended to lift the machine and place stands under it. The
wheels can then be rotated to the correct position by hand, after the
brakes have been released with the brake release pump. The axle
must be in horizontal position to the floor when changing the axle
oil. Use blocks to prevent the rear axle from oscillating.

Note! Perform the draining when the oil is warm. The planetary hubs and
the differential have the same oil space, but they have to be drained
and filled from different locations. Inspect the plug magnets and the
drained oil for contaminants. Allow enough time for oil to flow
through the various components when filling the axle oil. Clean the
plugs and replace the plug gaskets.

1. Make sure that the machine is on an even surface.


2. Install the frame articulation locking device.
3. Make sure that the planetary hub drain plug (A) is at 6 o'clock position

Maintenance Manual LH203

6.1 Instructions for reading maintenance cards

The maintenance cards show what maintenance procedures are to be


performed at what intervals. In addition to the procedures listed in the
maintenance card of a certain hour interval, also the maintenance
procedures of all relevant shorter intervals must be performed at the same
time.
Maintenance cards:
• daily checks
• every 50 hours
• every 250 hours
• every 500 hours
• every 1000 hours
• every 1500 hours
• every 2000 hours
• every 4000 hours
For example, when performing the scheduled maintenance procedures
after 1000 operating hours from the 1000-hour card, also the procedures
listed in the daily, 50-hour, 250-hour and 500-hour cards must be performed
at the same time. But when performing the scheduled maintenance
procedures after for example 1500 operating hours, it is only necessary to
perform the procedures listed in daily, 50-, 250-, 500- and 1500-hour cards.
This is because 1500 is not divisible by 1000 and thus the procedures listed
in the 1000-hour card must not be done at this point.
The maintenance intervals continue for the whole service life of the
machine. For example the procedures listed in the 2000-hour card are to be
performed after 2000, 4000, 6000, 8000 operating hours and so on.
