Articulated Hauler A30C is equipped with engine type TD 103 KBE.
The engine is a straight six-cylinder, direct-injected turbocharged, low emission - high performance diesel engine with intercooler.
The engine type, product and serial numbers are stamped on both right and left sides of the cylinder block. The cylinder heads, one for each cylinder, are interchangeable. The cylinder heads have replaceable valve seats and valve guides for both inlet and exhaust valves.
The valve mechanism is operated by the cam shaft via push rods and rocker arms.
The fuel injection pump is equipped with a smoke limiter for torque limitation of the engine. The injectors are mounted in replaceable copper sleeves that are pressed into the cylinder head and directly cooled by the coolant.
Refer to the special Service Manual listed in the "Preface" for repair work to the engine.

Transmission and hydraulic system must be at normal operating temperature when checking the engine speed. During engine speed check, all components with large electric power consumption and eventual air conditioning unit must be turned off and made non-operational.
NOTE!
This is an alternative method to be used when the service display unit is not available, see Section 4.

WARNING
The stop control must be secured in the stop position, ignition key in the "0'' position and the engine must be cold to eliminate the risk of the engine starting. The crankshaft must be turned slowly and carefully.
4. Rotate the flywheel in the correct direction until nr.1 piston is at T.D.C. after the compression stroke (0° on the flywheel markings).
Adjust valves 1, 2, 4, 5, 8 and 9.
Inlet valve clearance should be 0.40 mm (0.015 in) and exhaust valve clearance should be 0.70 mm (0.027 in) when engine is cold.

Adjust valves 3, 6, 7, 10, 11, 12.
CAUTION
Valve adjustments must not be done with the engine running since the valves may knock the piston and cause serious damage.

Description
Service Information
Information Type: Service Information Date: 2014/7/7 0
The engine is pressure lubricated by an oil pump driven by a crankshaft and gear.
The oil pump is a double-pump. The front main pump supplies the lubrication system with oil. The rear pump transports oil from the oil sump rear section to the front section to ensure that the main pump receives oil during operation on steep uphill grades. The main pump forces the oil by way of the oil cooler, both full-flow filters and the engine block oil passages to all points of lubrication.
There are four valves in the lubrication system:
1. The reduction valve opens at an oil pressure exceeding the norm, and directs surplus oil back to the oil sump.
2. The by-pass valve opens when the pressure drop across the oil cooler is too high, i.e. during a cold-start. When the valve opens, the oil flows past the oil cooler and reaches all engine lubrication points faster. The engine oil cooler is mounted on the oil filter bracket.
3. The overflow valve for the oil filters opens if the filters are clogged and ensures a constant oil supply for sufficient lubrication.
4. The piston cooling valve opens when the engine speed has increased to just above idle, when the oil pressure has increased and the oil is directed by way of a groove to the piston cooling passage in the engine block. There are six inlets connected to the piston cooling passage, one for each piston, and oil is sprayed from the inlets on the underside of the pistons.
There is an extra oil filter on the left side of the engine. It is a partial-flow filter with low flow-through but with high filtering capacity.

Bleeding of fuel system
Service Information
Information Type: Service Information Date: 2014/7/7 0
The fuel system must be bled if the machine has been operated until it has run out of fuel (fuel tank dry) or the tank has been emptied for other reasons.
CAUTION
No attempts to start the engine must be made prior to bleeding the fuel system since the fuel injection pump may be severly damaged!
A Bleeding screw
B Manual pump
C Pressure lines
Proceed as follows:
Loosen the bleeding screw (A) on the top of the filter. Using a manual handpump, continue to pump until fuel runs out and is free of air bubbles. Tighten the bleeding screw.
Pump approximately 15 full pumps using the handpump (B). The fuel injection pump is automatically through the overflow valve and the return oil line.
Figure 1
Volvo BM A30C BMA30C Service Manual PDF
Loosen the pressure lines (C) by the injectors and run the starter motor until fuel rushes out and is free from air bubbles.
CAUTION
The pressure lines are pre-formed to withstand high pressures and must never be bent or altered in any way!
Tighten connections of the pressure lines.
CAUTION
Do not tighten too hard, the threads can be damaged.
The engine can now be started.
After starting the engine, check to make sure that there are no leaks.
WARNING
Make sure that fuel under high pressure does not come in contact with unprotected body parts during work with fuel injection equipment.

Measuring instrument 11 668 003 consists of electronic unit, cabling and two sender units. The sender units sense the difference between a groove in the transmission converter, showing when cylinder number 1 passes top dead center (T.D.C.), and a camber in the injection pump regulator housing, which shows the position of the pump cam shaft when fuel injection begins on cylinder 1.

2. Check that the engine is not in the area of 0°– 20° B.T.D.C. This is to make sure that the sender unit in the flywheel housing does not end up in front of the measuring groove in the transmission converter during adjustment. (If the engine needs to be cranked, mount gear wheel in hole 1, see fig.)
3. Swing out the radiator.
4. Mount sender unit in the flywheel housing. Carefully screw it in up against the converter, turn back one full turn and lock it with a locking nut, see fig.
5. Mount sender unit in the fuel pump regulator housing. Be prepared with a suitable container to collect the oil that drains, approx 0,3 L (0,08 US gals).
