General
This BOMAG machine has been built in com-
pliance with the latest technical standard and
complies with the applicable regulations and
technical rules. However, dangers for persons
and property may arise from this machine, if:
l it is used for purposes other than the ones it is
intended for,
l it is operated by untrained personnel,
l it is changed or converted in an unprofessional
way,
l the safety instructions are not observed.
Each person involved in the operation, mainte-
nance and repair of the machine must there-
fore read and comply with these safety
regulations. If necessary, this must be con-
firmed by obtaining the signature of the cus-
tomer.
Furthermore, the following obviously also applies:
l applicable accident prevention instructions,
l generally accepted safety and road traffic reg-
ulations,
l country specific safety regulations. It is the
duty of the operator to be acquainted with
these instructions and to apply these accord-
ingly. This applies also for local regulations
concerning different types of handling work.
Should the recommendations in these instruc-
tions be different from the regulations valid in
your country, you must comply with the safety
regulations valid in your country.

Transporting persons, except the machine driver,
is prohibited.
Starting and operation of the machine in explosive
environments and in underground mining is pro-
hibited.
Remaining dangers, remaining risks
Despite careful work and compliance with stand-
ards and regulations it cannot be ruled out that fur-
ther dangers may arise when working with and
handling the machine.
Both the machine as well as all other system com-
ponents comply with the currently valid safety reg-
ulations. Nevertheless, remaining risks cannot be
ruled out completely, even when using the ma-
chine for the purpose it is intended for and follow-
ing all information given in the operating
instructions.
A remaining risk can also not be excluded beyond
the actual danger zone of the machine. Persons
remaining in this area must pay particular attention
to the machine, so that they can react immediately
in case of a possible malfunction, an incident or
failure etc.
All persons remaining ion the area of the machine
must be informed about the dangers that arise
from the operation of the machine.
Regular safety inspections
Have the machine inspected by an expert (capa-
ble person) as required for the conditiosn the ma-
chine is working under, but at least once every
year.
Who is allowed to operate the ma-
chine?
Only trained, instructed and authorized persons of
at least 18 years of age are permitted to drive and
operate this machine. For operation of the ma-
BOMAG BW 24 RH

chine the responsibilities must be clearly specified
and complied with.
Persons under the influence of alcohol, medicine
or drugs are not allowed to operate, service or re-
pair the machine.
Maintenance and repair work requires specific
knowledge and must therefore only be performed
by trained specialists.
Changes and conversions to the ma-
chine
Unauthorized changes to the machine are prohib-
ited for safety reasons.
Original parts and accessories have been special-
ly designed for this machine.
We wish to make explicitly clear that we have not
tested or approved any parts or accessories not
supplied by us.
The installation and/or use of such products may
have an adverse effect on the active and/or pas-
sive safety.
The manufacturer explicitly excludes any liability
for damage caused by the use of non-original
parts or accessories.
When performing manufacturer approved chang-
es and modifications, at all times pay attention to
the admissible maximum machine weight
This applies especially when weight relevant op-
tions are retrofitted (e.g. cabin, thermal protec-
tions, corner cutting device).
If the maximum weight may be exceeded, the bal-
last compartment must be drained accordingly.
Damage, deficiencies, misuse of safety
installations
Machines which are not safe to operate or in traffic
must be immediately taken out of service and shall
not be used, until these deficiencies have been
properly rectified.
Safety installations and switches must neither be
removed nor must they be made ineffective.

Environment
Paragraphs marked like this point out practic-
es for safe and environmental disposal of fuels
and lubricants as well as replacement parts.
Observe the regulations for the protection of
the environment.
Loading the machine
Use only strong and stable loading ramps. The
ramp inclination must be lower than the gradability
of the machine.
Secure the machine against turning over or slip-
ping off.
Secure the machine on the transport vehicle
against rolling off, slipping and turning over.

BOMAG 15
Safety regulations
Max. towing speed 1 km/h, max. towing distance
500 m.
Before releasing the parking brake secure the ma-
chine against unintended rolling.
Checking the Roll Over Protective
Structure (ROPS)
i Note
On machines with cab the ROPS is an integral part
of the cab.
The frame of the machine must not be warped,
bent or cracked in the area of the ROPS fastening.
The ROPS must not show any rust, damage, hair-
line cracks or open fractures.
The actual weight of the machine must not exceed
the testing weight of the ROPS.
The ROPS must not rattle about when driving.
This indicates that it is not properly fastened. All
bolted connections must comply with the specifi-
cations and should be absolutely tight (observe
the tightening torques). Screw and nuts must not
be damaged, bent or deformed.
With the cab assembled check also the state of the
cabin mounts (rubber elements and screws).
No accessories may be welded or bolted on and
no additional holes must be drilled without the con-
sent of the manufacturer, since this will impair the
strength of the unit.
The ROPS must therefore also not be straight-
ened or repaired if it is damaged.
A defect ROPS must generally be replaced with an
original spare part in close coordination with the
manufacturer.
Starting the machine
Before starting
Use only machines which are serviced at regular
intervals.
Become acquainted with the equipment, the con-
trol elements, the working principle of the machine
and the working area.
Wear your personal protective outfit (hard hat,
safety boots, etc.).
16
Before mounting the machine check whether:
l persons or obstructions are beside or under
the machine
l the machine is free of oily and combustible
material
l all grips, steps and platforms are free of
grease, oils, fuel, dirt, snow and ice
l engine hood is closed and locked
Use steps and grips to mount the machine.
Before starting the machine check whether:
l the machine shows any obvious faults
l all guards and safety elements are in place
l the seat is correctly adjusted
l mirrors (if present) are clean and correctly ad-
justed.
Do not start the machine with defective gauges,
control lamps or control elements.
Do not take any loose objects with you or fasten
them to the machine.
On machines with roll over protective structure
(ROPS/FOPS) you must always wear your seat
belt!
Starting
Start and operate the machine only from the driv-
er’s seat.
For starting set all control levers to 'neutral posi-
tion'.
Do not use any starting aids like start pilot or ether.
After starting the engine:
l check all gauges and displays
l check function of steering, brakes, control ele-
ments, lighting and warning horn
Starting with jump wires
Connect positive with positive and negative with
negative – always connect the ground strap last
and disconnect it first! A wrong connection will
cause severe damage in the electric system.
Do not start the engine by shorting the electric ter-
minals on the starter motor, because the machine
may start to drive immediately.
BOMAG BW 24 RH

Starting in closed rooms
Exhaust gases pose a danger to life! Always en-
sure an adequate supply of fresh air when starting
in closed rooms!
Driving the machine
Persons in the danger area
Before taking up work, also after breaks, you
should always convince yourself that the danger
zone is free of persons or obstructions, especially
when driving in reverse.
Give warning signals, if necessary. Stop work im-
mediately if persons remain in the danger zone,
despite the warning.
Do not step or stand in the steering range of the
front wheels when the engine is running. Danger
of squashing!
Driving
Only attempt to drive when the air pressure in the
brake reservoir exceeds 5.7 bar (83 psi) and both
warning light and warning buzzer go out.
Always choose lowest travel speed range when
driving downhill, otherwise risk of overheating the
brakes.
If the engine oil pressure warning light lights up
shut the engine down immediately and check the
engine oil level.
In events of emergency and in case of danger ac-
tuate the emergency stop switch immediately. Do
not use the emergency stop switch as service
brake.
Restart the machine only after the danger that
caused the actuation of the emergency stop switch
has been eliminated.
If the machine has contacted high-voltage power
lines:
l do not leave the operator’s stand
l warn others from coming close to or touching
the machine
l if possible drive the machine out of the danger
zone
l have the power switched off
Operate the machine only from the operator’s
stand.
Keep the cabin doors closed.
BW 24 RH
Safety regulations
Do not adjust the driver’s seat while driving.
Do not climb onto or off the machine while the ma-
chine is driving.
Change the travel direction only at standstill.
Do not use the machine to transport persons.
In case of unusual noises and development of
smoke perform trouble shooting and have the fault
corrected.
Always keep a sufficient distance to excavation
walls and embankments and do not use working
methods that could impair the stability of the ma-
chine.
Always keep a sufficient distance when passing
through subways, under bridges, tunnels, electric
power lines etc.
Driving on inclinations and slopes
Do not drive on gradients exceeding the maximum
gradability of the machine.
On slopes drive extremely careful and always di-
rectly up or down the slope. Change to a lower
gear before starting to drive.
Wet and loose soils considerably reduce the
ground adhesion of the machine on inclinations
and slopes. Higher risk of accident!
Behaviour in traffic
Match the speed to the working conditions.
Always give way to loaded transport vehicles.
Switch the lights on if the visibility is poor.
Keep away from edges and embankments.
Parking the machine
Park the machine on horizontal, level, firm ground.

clearly visible sign.
BOMAG 17
Safety regulations
Parking on slopes and inclinations
Apply appropriate measures (e.g. with metal
wheel chocks, to be provided by the operating
company) to secure the machine against rolling
away.
Refuelling
Do not inhale any fuel fumes.
Refuel only with the engine shut down.
Do not refuel in closed rooms.
No open fire, do not smoke.
Monitor the entire refuelling process.
Do not spill any fuel. Catch running out fuel, do not
let it seep into the ground.
Wipe off spilled fuel. Keep dirt and water away
from the fuel.
A leaking fuel tank can cause an explosion. En-
sure tight fit of the fuel tank cover, if necessary re-
place immediately.
Fire protection measures
Familiarise yourself with the location and the oper-
ation of fire fighting equipment. Observe all fire re-
porting and fire fighting possibilities.

Working on hydraulic and pneumatic lines
Relieve hydraulic pressures before working on hy-
draulic lines. Hydraulic oil escaping under pres-
sure can penetrate the skin and cause severe
injury. When being injured by hydraulic oil consult
a medical doctor immediately, as otherwise this
may cause severe infections.
Do not change the setting of pressure relief valves.
Drain the hydraulic oil at operating temperature –
danger of scalding!
Any hydraulic oil must be caught and disposed of
in an environmentally friendly manner.
Do not start the engine after draining the hydraulic
oil.
Once all work is completed (with the system still
depressurized!) check all connections and fittings
for leaks.
Changing hydraulic hoses
Hydraulic hoses must be visually inspected at reg-
ular intervals.
Hydraulic hoses must be immediately replaced if:
l the outer layer is damaged down to the inlay
(e.g. chafing, cuts, cracks),
l the outer layer is brittle (formation of cracks in
the hose material)
l the hose shows deformations in pressurized
and depressurized condition, which do not
comply with the genuine shape of the hydrau-
lic hose
l the hose shows deformations in bends, e.g.
squeezing, buckling, layer separation, forma-
tion of blisters
l parts of the hose are leaking.
l hoses are not correctly installed,
l the hydraulic hose has separated from the fit-
ting
l the fitting shows corrosion that impairs both
function and strength.
l fittings are damaged or deformed, whereby
the function and strength of the hose/hose
connection is impaired.
hoses are mixed up by mistake.
Only genuine BOMAG replacement hydraulic hos-
es ensure that the correct hose type (pressure
range) is used at the right location.

use open fire!
Do not let acid come in contact with hands or
clothes! When injured by acid flush off with clear
water and seek medical advice.
Metal objects (e.g. tools, rings, watch straps) must
not come in contact with the battery poles – dan-
ger of short circuit and burning!
When recharging non-serviceable batteries re-
move all plugs, to avoid the accumulation of explo-
sive gases.
Observe the applicable instructions when starting
with an auxiliary battery.
Dispose of old batteries according to regulations.
Switch off the charging current before removing
the charging clamps.
Ensure sufficient ventilation, especially if the bat-
tery is to be charged in a closed room.
Working on the fuel system
Do not inhale any fuel fumes.
Avoid open fire, do not smoke, do not spill any fuel.
BW 24 RH

system only performed by qualified specialists.
Working on the transmission
Drain transmission oil at operating temperature –
danger of scalding!
Wipe off spilled oil, catch running out oil and dis-
pose of environmentally.
Store used filters and other oil contaminated ma-
terials in a separate, specially marked container
and dispose of environmentally.
Working on wheels and tires
Explosion-like bursting of tires or parts of tires and
rims can cause most severe or even deadly inju-
ries.
Install the tires only if are sufficiently experienced
and with the right tools at hand. If necessary have
the tires assembled in a qualified workshop.
Always ensure the correct tire pressure and do not
exceed the specified maximum pressure.
Check tires and wheels every day for specified
pressure, cuts, bulges, damaged rims, missing
wheel studs or nuts. Do not drive with damaged
tires or wheels.
Ant-sticking emulsions for tires must only consist
of water and anti-sticking agent, in a concentration
in accordance with the specifications of the manu-
facturer of the anti-sticking agent. Observe appli-
cable environmental regulations.
Working on the air conditioning
Faults on the air conditioning should only be rem-
edied by professional personnel.
According to the regulation for pressure reservoirs
all pressure reservoirs must be repeatedly inspect-
ed by a specialist.
In connection with this inspection the drier/collec-
tor unit must be visually examined twice every
year. During these inspections special attention
must be paid to corrosion and mechanical dam-
age.
Do not perform welding work in the vicinity of the
air conditioning - danger of explosion.

running. mediately.

Do not use gasoline or other easily inflammable

substances for cleaning.
When cleaning with steam cleaning equipment do
not subject electrical parts and insulation material
to the direct jet of water, or cover it beforehand.
l Do not guide the water jet into the exhaust and
into the air filter.

After maintenance work

After all maintenance work is completed reinstall
all guards and safety installations.

Repair
Mark a defective machine by attaching a warning
tag to the steering wheel.
Repair work must only be performed by qualified
and authorized persons. Use our repair instruc-
tions for this work.
Exhaust gases pose a danger to life! Always en-
sure an adequate supply of fresh air when starting
in closed rooms!
Always remove the main battery switch before
starting welding work on the machine. Disconnect
the battery and connect negative and positive ca-
bles. Cover the battery with insulating material.
Disconnect the plug connectors from all control
units to protect the electronic system.
Do not work on the fuel system while the engine is
running - danger to life!
The system is under high pressure! Keep away
from leakages in the high pressure system, be-
cause fuel squirting out may cause severe injury.
After shutting down the engine wait for another
minute, until the pressure has dropped to a per-
missible level. In case of leakages you should con-
tact the Service Department of the engine
manufacturer and refrain from starting the engine.

Maintenance
5.1 General notes on mainte-
nance
Always comply with the appropriate safety regula-
tions when performing maintenance work.
Thorough maintenance of the machine guaran-
tees far longer safe functioning of the machine and
prolongs the lifetime of important components.
The effort needed for this work is only little com-
pared with the problems that may arise when not
observing this rule.
The terms right/left correspond with travel direc-
tion forward.
l Do not touch hot engine parts.
l Always clean machine and engine thoroughly
before starting maintenance work.
l For maintenance work stand the machine on
level ground.
l Always remove the main battery switch for all
maintenance work.
l Perform maintenance work only with the en-
gine shut down.
l Relieve hydraulic pressures before working on
hydraulic lines.
l Before working on electric parts of the ma-
chine disconnect the battery and cover it with
insulation material.
Environment
During maintenance work catch all oils and fu-
els and do not let them seep into the ground or
into the sewage system. Dispose of oils and fu-
els environmentally.
Keep used filters in a separate waste container
and dispose of environmentally.
Catch biodegradable oils separately.
Notes on the fuel system
The lifetime of the diesel engine depends to a
great extent on the cleanliness of the fuel.
l Keep fuel free of contaminants and water,
since this will damage the injection elements
of the engine.
l Drums with inside zinc lining are not suitable to
store fuel.
56
l When choosing the storage place for fuel
make sure that spilled fuel will not harm the en-
vironment.
l Do not let the hose stir up the slurry at the bot-
tom of the drum.
l The fuel drum must rest for a longer period of
time before drawing off fuel.
l The rest in the drum is not suitable for the en-
gine and should only be used for cleaning pur-
poses.
Notes on the performance of the en-
gine
On diesel engines both combustion air and fuel in-
jection quantities are thoroughly adapted to each
other and determine power, temperature level and
exhaust gas quality of the engine.
If your engine has to work permanently in "thin air"
(at higher altitudes) and under full load, you should
consult our customer service or the customer serv-
ice of the engine manufacturer.
Notes on the cooling system
Prepare and check coolant with highest care,
since otherwise the engine may be damaged by
corrosion, cavitation and freezing.
Coolant is prepared by adding an ethylene-glycol
based anti-freeze agent with corrosion inhibiting
properties to the cooling water.
Mixing with cooling system protection agent is
necessary in all climatic zones. It prevents corro-
sion, lowers the freezing point and raises the boil-
ing point of the coolant.
Notes on the hydraulic system
During maintenance work on the hydraulic system
cleanliness is of major importance. Make sure that
no dirt or other contaminating substances can en-
ter into the system. Small particles can produce
flutes in valves, cause pumps to seize, clog noz-
zles and pilot bores, thereby making expensive re-
pairs inevitable.
l If, during the daily inspection of the oil level the
hydraulic oil level is found to have dropped,
check all lines, hoses and components for
leaks.
l Seal external leaks immediately. If necessary
inform the responsible customer service.

l Use winter grade engine oil for winter opera-
tion!

Oil viscosity
Since lubrication oil changes its viscosity with the
temperature, the ambient temperature at the oper-
ating location of the engine is of utmost impor-
tance when choosing the viscosity class (SAE-
class) .

BW 24 RH BOMAG 57
Maintenance
Too high viscosity can cause starting difficulties,
too low ´viscosity can jeopardize the lubrication ef-
fect and result in a high lubrication oil consump-
tion.
Fig. 73
Optimal operating conditions can be achieved by
using the oil viscosity chart (Fig. 73) as a refer-
ence.
At ambient temperatures below -40 °C (-58 °F) the
lubrication oil must be pre-heated (e.g. by parking
the machine indoors).
The viscosity is classified acc. to SAE. Multi-pur-
pose oils should generally be used.
Oil change intervals
The longest permissible time a lubrication oil
should remain in an engine is 1 year. If the follow-
ing oil change intervals are not reached over a pe-
riod of 1 year, the oil change should be performed
at least once per year, irrespective of the operating
hours reached.
58
DQC II, DQC III, DQC IV: 500 operating hours
! Caution
When using fuels with a sulphur content of
more than 0.5% to 1% or under permanent am-
bient temperatures below -10 °C (14 °F) and
when using biodegradable diesel fuel the oil
change intervals must be halved.
Fuels
You should only use commercially available brand
diesel fuel with a sulphur content of less than 0.5%
and ensure strict cleanliness when filling in. A
higher sulphur content has a negative effect on the
oil change intervals.
The fuel level should always be topped up in due
time so that the fuel tank is never run dry, as oth-
erwise filter and injection lines need to be bled.
Quality
The following fuel specifications are permitted:
l EN 590
l DIN 51628
l ASTM D975 Grade-No. 1-D and 2-D.
l JIS K 2204 Grade Fuel 1 and Grade Fuel 2
with lubrication properties acc. to EN 590
Winter fuel
For winter operation use only winter diesel fuel, to
avoid clogging because of paraffin separation.
Diesel fuels suitable for temperatures down to -44
°C (-47 °F) are available for Arctic climates. At
very low temperatures disturbing paraffin separa-
tion can also be expected when using winter diesel
fuel.
The admixture of petroleum and the addition of
"flow enhancing additives" (fuel additives) is not
permitted.
Coolant
For fluid cooled engines the cooling fluid must be
prepared by admixing a cooling system protection
agent to the fresh water and should be checked
within the specified maintenance intervals.
This prevents damage caused by corrosion, cavi-
tation, freezing and overheating.
