Function of auxiliary heater
The thermostat valve controls the coolant circuit based on the temperature in the circuit.
The fuel supply and the supply to the water heater is controlled by the external metering pump
. In addition, it serves as a shut-off device when the water heater is switched off. The pulses
that control the magnetic coil of the metering pump are sent by the control unit .
LHB/en/Edition: 05/2015
If the ignition is off, start the auxiliary heater through the instant heating function or the pre-
programmed heating operation. The recirculation pump , the glow pencil and the combustion air
fan are started.
Combustion begins approx. 60-140 seconds after the system is started. From this point, the heating
operation is controlled automatically. The auxiliary heater can be operated at full load for maximum
2 hours.
copyright by
Auxiliary heater Service Manual
Maintenance
The air-conditioning system of the machine is only switched on when the coolant has reached the
necessary temperature.
If the temperature of the coolant increases to the threshold for pause, the water heater is
temporarily switched off. During this break, the recirculation pump , the heater fan of the machine
and the indicator at the timer remain however in operation.
After the coolant temperature has dropped to the programmed re-start temperature, the water heater
is automatically switched on again.
If the water temperature in the water heater is above the set temperature but does not reach the
pause threshold, the temperature is reduced so that it reaches the set temperature within 10 minutes.
The water heater is switched to 9.0 kW heating level.
If the set temperature is reached, it is automatically restarted to max. 7.6 kW heating level.
When the auxiliary heater is switched off, the operating indicator and the timer are no longer
displayed. Combustion is stopped and the system is operated in afterrun mode. The recirculation
pump and the combustion air fan remain however in operation. The water heater is cooled
(afterrun) and automatically shuts down after approx. 105 seconds. During the afterrun period, the
water heater can be switched on as normal.
Prior to the start of the cold season or if the auxiliary heating system has become dirty, perform the
following maintenance tasks:
– Clean the outside of the water heater.
– Check the electrical connections for proper tightening and contact corrosion.
– Inspect the exhaust gas and combustion air lines for damage and blockage and clean them, if
necessary.
– Check the fuel line and the filter for damage and leakage.
– Change the fuel filter.
– Check the coolant circuit and the recirculation pump for leakage.
– Check the coolant hoses for cracks, etc.

Service Manual Air-conditioning system
Design of air-conditioning system
The air-conditioning system is designed to enable the operator to freely adjust the temperature in the
operator's cab. The adjustment must be possible irrespective of the actual ambient conditions.
The air-conditioning system consists of 3 main components that are connected to each other with
refrigerant lines:
A/c compressor - attached to the diesel engine
Condenser - attached to the radiator of the diesel engine and the hydraulic system
Heating/air-conditioning unit - located in the operator's cab below the operator seat
LHB/en/Edition: 07/2015
copyright by
Air-conditioning system Service Manual
Design of air-conditioning system
see Fig. 12
The a/c compressor with the electromagnetic clutch is powered by the diesel engine through
a V-belt and is located near the diesel engine.
The a/c compressor compresses the refrigerant in the circuit.
see Fig. 9
In the air-pressurised fin condenser , the thermal energy of the refrigerant is dissipated into the
ambient air and the gaseous refrigerant becomes liquid under pressure.
The condenser is mounted to the radiator of the diesel engine / hydraulic system. The radiator blower
feeds air through the condenser.
see Fig. 9
The dryer-collector is located behind the condenser . The dryer-collector acts as a compensating
and reserve container for the refrigerant in the cooling circuit. The liquid refrigerant fed by the
condenser enters the dryer-collector . In the dryer-collector, the refrigerant is collected, fed through
the dryer and then released in a continuous flow without air bubbles in the direction of the expansion
valve .
The amount of refrigerant pumped though the circuit is determined by the actual operating conditions,
the heat load at the evaporator, the condenser and the operating speed of the engine.
In the dryer-collector , water that has entered the cooling circuit during assembly is absorbed. In
addition, abraded material from the compressor , dirt that entered the circuit during assembly and
other particles are removed as they settle in the dryer-collector.
Due to its chemical properties, the R134a refrigerant can only absorb very little water. High humidity
in the system can cause corrosion, damaging the system and leading to malfunctions.
To absorb the water in the refrigerant, the dryer-collector contains a desiccant. It removes water as
well contaminants such as acidic substances and dirt particles from the refrigerant. To prevent
desiccant from entering the cooling circuit, a number of sieves or filters are installed at the outlet end
of the dryer.
The dryer-collector is equipped with the pressure-relief valve , (see 1.10.2 on page 5) and Fig. 13.
see Fig. 3
The expansion valve acts as a thermostatic pressure-relief valve.
LHB/en/Edition: 07/2015
In the expansion valve , the refrigerant is depressurised and cooled. The valve thus separates the
high-pressure and low-pressure sections of the circuit. The expansion valve also regulates the
refrigerant flow to the evaporator, based on the temperature at the evaporator .
This ensures that only the amount of refrigerant that is required for uniform cooling is depressurised
towards the evaporator .
The expansion valve controls the refrigerant flow based on the temperature:
– if the temperature of the refrigerant leaving the evaporator rises, the refrigerant expands in the
thermostat of the expansion valve .
copyright by
Service Manual Air-conditioning system
Design of air-conditioning system
see Fig. 2
The evaporator consists of an air-pressurised heat exchanger. The warm air is moved through the
fins of the evaporator so that heat is dissipated through the fins and pipe walls to the refrigerant.
The refrigerant evaporates and thus becomes gaseous.
The (liquid) refrigerant released by the expansion valve is depressurised in the evaporator . This
results in the fins of the evaporator being significantly cooled down. The ambient or cab air fed by
the blower ( ) through the evaporator is cooled down so that the necessary cooling effect can be
achieved (e.g. during hot weather and exposure to strong sunlight).
The water in the cooled air condensates at points in the evaporator where the temperature is below
the dew point temperature. The air is thus dried. This side-effect is used to dry fogged windows in the
operator's cab.
see Fig. 2
The coolant of the diesel engine is fed through hoses to the heat exchanger , forming a separate
circuit from that of the air-conditioning system.
The heat exchanger heats the air fed through it. The further the refrigerant valve is opened by
means of the servo motor , the more the air is heated up. Depending on the actual blow level
of the blower motor , more or less warm air flows through the air outlets into the operator's cab.
see Fig. 2
The brushless DC motor drives the low-noise rotor blades whose speed can be steplessly
adjusted.
The double radial blower takes up air through the filter system in axial direction and then feeds it in a
radial direction. The air flow is fed through the heat exchanger and the evaporator and escapes
through the outlets into the operator's cab. Depending on whether heating or cooling operation is
selected, the air is warm or cool.
see Fig. 5
LHB/en/Edition: 07/2015
The air necessary for the operation of the air-conditioning system is fed through the filters in the filter
box .
The filter box contains a pre-filter, a fresh air filter and a recirculation air filter. For a description of the
filter unit, (see 3.4 on page 9).

The temperature outside the operator's cab is monitored by the external sensor (temperature
sensor) and signalled to the a/c control unit . The air-conditioning performance is adjusted
depending on the temperature difference between the actual outdoor temperature and the desired
indoor temperature.
The external sensor is mounted at the outside of the operator's cab (below the headlight
housing).
see Fig. 11
The light intensity (intensity of sunlight) is monitored by the sunlight sensor (light sensor) and
signalled to the a/c control unit . The air-conditioning performance is adjusted depending on the
actual light intensity (light = heat).
The sunlight sensor is located at the right rear of the display / control desk.
see Fig. 11
When the air-conditioning system is started, the temperature inside the operator's cab is measured
once by the cab sensor (temperature sensor) and signalled to the a/c control unit . The air-
conditioning system performance is adjusted according to this temperature.
The cab sensor is located to the rear inside the operator's cab to the right of the radio speaker
(see Fig. 11 on page 16).
see Fig. 2
The air outlet temperature is monitored by the air outlet sensor (temperature sensor) and
signalled to the a/c control unit . The air-conditioning performance is adjusted depending on the
actual temperature.
The air outlet sensor is inserted at the bottom into the air outlet of the heating/air-conditioning
unit .
see Fig. 13

The pressure-relief valve protects the components of the cooling circuit against excessive
pressure and consequential damage.
see Fig. 2
One anti-icing sensor (evaporator sensor) protects the evaporator against icing. The
second sensor is installed to protect the system in the event of a sensor failure.
The values recorded by the anti-icing sensor are continuously checked and the magnetic
clutch of the compressor is switched on and off accordingly.
The anti-icing sensors are inserted at the bottom of the evaporator .
The lubricant (refrigeration oil) is added to the cooling circuit to minimise abrasion and wear in the
compressor . It also facilitates heat dissipation and abrasive particle transport.
The system is factory-filled with R134a to the recommended level for best operation. As it is not
possible to achieve a completely sealed refrigerant circuit in an a/c system (due to the flexible
connecting hoses from the compressor to the condenser and evaporator), it might from time to time
be necessary to add refrigerant.
Within the refrigerant circuit, the refrigerant constantly changes its physical state:
– in the evaporator, it changes from liquid to gaseous
– in the condenser, it changes from gaseous to liquid
see Fig. 2
Fresh and recirculation air is taken up by the blower through the intake shaft and fed to the
evaporator and the heat exchanger . The conditioned air flows through the outlet shafts
and according to the actual flap position (adjusted through the servo motors ,
into the air channels/air outlets.
The heating/air-conditioning unit is located behind the operator seat.

Functions and principle of operation
see Fig. 4
The compressor compresses the gaseous R134a refrigerant. The hot refrigerant flows through the
condenser . In the condenser , the thermal energy of the refrigerant is dissipated to the air flow
from the cooling blower (engine cooling / hydraulic oil cooling). As the refrigerant is cooled and
compressed, it becomes liquid.
The liquid refrigerant flows into the dryer-collector to the expansion valve . The pressurised
refrigerant is depressurised.
This sudden pressure drop results in the refrigerant evaporating and becoming gaseous. In the
process, it takes up the thermal energy of the air as it is fed through the fins of the evaporator . The
blower feeds the air as it is being cooled down towards the outlets in the operator's cab.
The warm/hot refrigerant is fed through the refrigerant hoses between the diesel engine and the heat
exchanger to the refrigerant valve.
Depending on the desired indoor temperature, the refrigerant valve is opened by the servo motor
so that the required amount of refrigerant is fed to the heat exchanger . The refrigerant is
cooled down as its thermal energy is dissipated through the fins of the heat exchanger .
The blower feeds the air as it is being heated towards the outlets in the operator's cab.

To clean the incoming air, it is fed through the filter box mounted in the rear right corner of the
operator's cab.
Depending on the position of the recirculation air flap , which is operated by the servo motor
(fresh/recirculated air operation), the air is fed through the fresh air filter or the recirculated
air filter in the filter box and on to the heating/air-conditioning unit .
The filter box is equipped with a filter cassette .
The filter cassette consists of the following components:
The pre-filter cleans the fresh air taken into the system by removing foreign objects and larger
dust particles. The pre-filter must be regularly cleaned (see “Maintenance” on page 13).
The fresh air filter cleans the fresh air by removing fine dust particles.
The fresh air filter must be replaced at set intervals together with the filter cassette (see
“Maintenance” on page 13).
The recirculated air filter cleans the taken-up cab air from fine dust particles. The recirculated air
filter must be replaced at set intervals together with the filter cassette (see “Maintenance” on
page 13).

Incorrect handling or cleaning of the sensors can damage them. This would lead to malfunction of
the automatic a/c control.
If necessary, remove any covers from the sensors.
Never use pointed or sharp-edged tools to clean the sensors.
If necessary, clean the sensors carefully with compressed air or a soft cloth to remove dust and
dirt.

Handling of refrigerant
In the event of problems with the air-conditioning system, and in particular if you suspect that there
is a leak in the a/c system, observe the following safety instructions.
All refrigerants displace oxygen in the atmosphere. There is thus a risk of suffocation! R 134a is
heavier than air and displaces it. An acrid smell indicates that the refrigerant is decomposing due to
overheating. Refrigerants are flammable and can be set on fire by glowing cigarette ash. The
substances released by combustion are toxic and must not be inhaled.
Ensure proper ventilation!
Do not work in pits!
Do not smoke when handling refrigerants!
Always seal leaks in the air-conditioning system without delay.
In the event of a sudden rise in the refrigerant concentration in the ambient air (e.g. after a
pipeline rupture), immediately leave the room and only enter it after it has been properly
ventilated!
If the refrigerant concentration in the air is high, use respiratory protection equipment with
separate oxygen supply.
Never inhale refrigerant vapours as they have a narcotic effect in high concentrations. Misuse of
the substance can be fatal!

Maintenance
In principle, the intervals specified in the inspection and maintenance schedule apply.
Observe the applicable safety instructions, in particular the instructions for the safe handling of
refrigerants.
Never leave the refrigerant circuit open! Refrigerants are highly hygroscopic, which means that
they absorb moisture from the air at a very fast range (100% saturation within 24 hours).
Always keep all air-conditioning spare parts and components tightly sealed. Only open them
immediately prior to installation.
Every time you open the refrigerant circuit, replace the dryer-collector, see group 160.040.
Avoid carrying out soldering work. If this is not possible, carry it out with extreme caution.
Do not kink refrigerant hoses as this could damage their Nylon core.
Use only new sealing material (only mount Neoporen O-rings and use refrigeration oil).
Prevent refrigerants from escaping when refilling liquid or carrying out repairs. Always collect
liquid in a dedicated recycling container.
The liquid or gaseous refrigerant in the refrigeration unit is under pressure. This fact must be taken
into consideration when carrying out repair work on the system.
Leaks do not only reduce the output rate of the refrigeration unit, but might also cause dangerously

Air-conditioning system service Service Manual
Repair
Under certain circumstances, it might not be sufficient to open doors and windows, and it might be
necessary to operate an extractor system that extracts the air near the point where the refrigerant
escapes or at floor level.
Filter masks with A-type filters (for solvents) do not provide sufficient protection and may only be used
in rooms where the refrigerant concentration in the air does not exceed 0.5 % vol/vol (see respiratory
protection sheet). As refrigerant vapours are heavier than air, there is a particular risk of high
concentrations in pits and shafts. If you are not sure whether there is dangerous amount of refrigerant
in the ambient air, use respiratory equipment with oxygen supply that is independent of the ambient
air!
Welding and soldering work on the refrigeration unit must be carried out in well-ventilated rooms!
When refrigerant is combusted in the flame of the soldering iron or the arc of the welding machine,
toxic substance are released that must not be inhaled! Do not inhale these substances!
The substances produced when refrigerant is exposed to heat are not only toxic but also highly
corrosive, causing damage to pipelines and other unit parts. In the case of chlorinated refrigerants,
the decomposition products include hydrogen chloride, hydrogen fluoride and elementary chlorine.
Under certain circumstances, highly toxic phosgene might be produced! When halogenated
fluorocarbons are burnt, hydrogen fluoride might be produced.
Please note that the dangerous decomposition products listed above are already in the air when the
acrid smell occurs. Do not inhale these substances, as they can cause serious damage to the
respiratory passages, the lungs and other organs. The decomposition products are effectively
removed by a filter mask with respiratory filter B (acidic gases). Always observe the user instructions
of the filter!
Immediately leave the room, ventilate it or wear a filter mask / respiratory filter B (acidic gases)!
Leaks often show "sticky" dust deposits formed by the refrigeration oil that has escaped together with
the refrigerant. Please remember: Refrigeration oil and refrigerant form a mixture in the system.
If there is no system pressure, add a small amount or refrigerant. If available, add nitrogen to the
system (do not use compressed air as it contains water!).
Add additive only to the pressure side (see instructions below for the filling of the system).
Let the system run for at least 1 hour and then examine the cooling circuit with the UV lamp. If the
leaks are tiny, it might take a few days until the contrast agent becomes visible.
Refrigerant escaping at a leak is visible in the form of bright fluorescent spots under the UV
light.

Service Manual Air-conditioning system service
Repair
Follow the operating instructions of the leak detector you wish to use.
This method might not be successful, for example if gases are removed by air draughts when the
escape or if there are other "foreign gases". In this case, the substance in question must be blocked
and/or the sensitivity of the device must be reduced so that it can distinguish between the refrigerant
and other substances.
Fill cooling circuit with nitrogen (max. 20 bar) and wait for 12 hours (e.g. overnight).
In many cases of failure, there is no refrigerant left in the system (leakage, break, etc.).
Extraction is however necessary in the following cases:
• Replacement of components (pressure switch, dryer-collector unit, evaporator, etc.)
• Changeover of air-conditioning system to run with R134a
If the air-conditioning system can be operated, switch it on for approx. 15 minutes before
commencing extraction. This facilitates the extraction process.
Switch off the air-conditioning system.
Connect the extraction device to the intake and pressure parts of the compressor (quick-release
couplings).
Connect a refrigerant bottle with sufficient refrigerant (2 kg) to the suction valve.
Open the manual valves at the quick-release couplings and the extraction device.
The respective pressure values are indicated at the pressure gauges.
LHB/en/Edition: 07/2015
Disconnect the hose from the refrigerant bottle, briefly open the outlet tap at the extraction device
(to bleed it) and close and tighten it again.
Open the outlet tap.
Due to the pressure in the air-conditioning system, refrigerant initially flows from the system to
the bottle.
Switch on the extraction device.
The compressor in the extraction device sucks the refrigerant from the system and pumps it
into the bottle.
copyright by
Air-conditioning system service Service Manual
Repair
The extraction device is automatically switched ON and OFF, depending on the pressure of
the refrigerant in the system.
To accelerate extraction towards the end of the process, use a hair dryer to slowly heat up the filter/
dryer as refrigerant must evaporate from the filter/dryer (do not heat to more than 30-40°C).
To evacuate the system, use a 2-step vacuum pump that is able to produce a final pressure of 0.05
mbar or lower (see air-conditioning service tools). The evacuation process should not take less than
1 hour.
For new systems (initial installation), the evacuation time can be reduced (to approx. 30 minutes).
– Ensure that no air is trapped in the cooling circuit during filling. Air in the cooling circuit results in
high pressure during operation and can cause malfunctions. The evacuation process ensures that
all air is extracted from the system.
– Evacuation also dries out the cooling circuit. The boiling point of water is lowered by the vacuum
(see table "Evaporation temperature of water"). Water in the form of moisture in the cooling circuit
is extracted during evacuation in the form of water vapour.
– If the system is evacuated for repair after it has been in operation for some time, the evacuation
process must be repeated several times.
– The high vacuum accelerates the subsequent filling process.
– You might also consider evacuating the system for leakage testing. To do this, evacuate the
system, close the manual valves at the pressure gauge bar and then switch off the vacuum pump.
– If the pressure in the system does not change significantly within a period of 1 hour, there is no
leak in the system.
Take into account external factors such as temperature changes (e.g. by direct sunlight).
Evacuation is particularly effective if the cooling circuit is purged with (hot) nitrogen. Its effectiveness
can be further improved by adding a small quantity (approx. 200 g) of refrigerant to the system and
extracting it again (refrigerant is hygroscopic and thus extracts moisture from the system).
To fill the system, use only devices that are compatible with R134a. Observe warning signs and
instructions!
LHB/en/Edition: 07/2015
This procedure saves time, as refrigerant in liquid form can be transferred much faster into the cooling
circuit than refrigerant in gaseous form (density 40x higher).
This method must however only be used to fill the refrigerant to the high pressure side if the diesel
engine is shut down.
For liquid filling, the refrigerant bottle must be equipped with a riser pipe. Such bottles are equipped
with two valves (1 red, 1 blue).
To use the liquid filling method with a refrigerant bottle that does not feature a riser pipe, the bottle
must be positioned upside down.
copyright by
Service Manual Air-conditioning system service
Repair
Filling with gas can be performed simultaneously at the high pressure and the low pressure side.
Filling with gas takes more time.
Under certain circumstances, filling with gas is required after filling with liquid, if the amount of
refrigerant required in the system is not reached (residual filling). This is for example the case, if the
pressure in the refrigerant bottle and in the cooling circuit reach the same level before the required
amount of refrigerant has been transferred.
For residual gas filling, open only the blue valve at the pressure gauge bar and at the refrigerant
bottle. If the refrigerant bottle is not equipped with a riser pipe, it must be placed upright.
Vapours escaping from the air-conditioning system are highly explosive and poisonous.
Never use naked flames near the unit.
When the refrigerant flow stops, close the red manual valve.
Place the refrigerant bottle in its upright position and start the diesel engine.
Switch on the air-conditioning system.
Open the blue manual valve at the pressure gauge battery.
Residual filling with gaseous refrigerant commences.
At medium diesel engine speed, check the sight glass of the dryer-collector unit: when the white
fill level bead is lifted by the refrigerant, immediately close the blue manual valve.
copyright by
Air-conditioning system service Service Manual
Repair
Let the system run for a few minutes until the refrigerant is properly distributed throughout the
system. Then check again the fill level at the sight glass. The fill level bead must be near the upper
edge of the sight glass.
Perform a test run and check the pressures.
The pressures depend on the ambient temperature. At the pressure side, they should be between 8
bar and approx. 18 bar; at the suction side, they should be between 0.8 bar and approx. 2 bar (see
temperature/pressure diagram of air-conditioning system).
The function and operation of the a/c service device depends on the actual device make and model.
Certain devices also cater for the evacuation of the system and for refrigerant changes. It is therefore
imperative that you follow the operating instructions of your specific a/c service device.
For the operation of a/c service devices, the operator must normally specify the fill volume of the air-
conditioning system, as the amount of refrigerant is measured by means of weighing scales or with
a filling cylinder.
For suction side filling, this is normally not required, as the system can be fully filled through the pump
of the a/c service device.
After the filling procedure has been completed, the cooling performance of the air-conditioning
system must be checked.
Measuring the temperature in the evaporator is very useful in this context, as it allows for the
measurement of the switching points of the temperature switch or temperature sensor respectively.
For good cooling performance, it is however very important that these switching points are set
correctly. To measure the temperature, you need a temperature gauge with a thin probe. The probe
should be positioned at the exact position of the sensor (capillary tube) of the temperature switch/
LHB/en/Edition: 07/2015
The switching hysteresis must not be too narrow, as the compressor would otherwise switch
constantly at short intervals so that the magnetic clutch would be excessively worn. There is also
the risk of ice formation in the evaporator.
copyright by
Service Manual Air-conditioning system service
A/c service tools
The above measurements indicate quickly whether the temperature switch works properly. If the ON/
OFF switching points change constantly, the switch is clearly defective (burned-out or dirty contacts).
The repeat accuracy of the temperature switches is approx. .
Correctly set switching points ensure optimum cooling performance: Temperature at the outlet
nozzles (see temperature/pressure diagram of the air-conditioning system). If this temperature is not
reached, check the following:
• The recirculated/fresh air flap must be set to recirculated air.
• The heating is switched off (check refrigerant valve of the heating/air-conditioning unit; if
necessary, close the refrigerant valves at the diesel engine).
• See also a/c service - troubleshooting.
This tool is very useful for filling and evacuation as well as for the monitoring of the pressure during
operation, especially if no a/c service device is available.
Do not confuse the hoses (refrigerant may remain in the hoses, so that there is no need to bleed the
system the next time it is used).
