OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

Inspection and servicing

Cleaning the fuel tanks

Explosion hazard. Read and observe the "Inspection and servicing.

Safety instructions" chapter.

Do not use white spirit, paraffin oil or other solvents.

For flushing and cleaning use diesel fuel. Avoid skin contact.

Skin contact with diesel fuel may cause skin injury. Wear firm working clothing. Wear protective gloves or use a barrier ccream.

Fuel must be prevented from penetrating into the soil. Keep fuel for re-use or discard without polluting the environment.

Use up as much fuel as possible.

Check how much fuel remains in the tank and place a collecting recipient of sufficient size under the drain plugs of the tanks.

Loosen drain plug (5, Fig. 3-37:) at fuel the tank and drain off fuel.

Flush tank with diesel fuel.

Screw drain plug (5) back in place.

Fill in fuel through the filter sieve in the filler tube (2).

Refuelling station (optional)

Sparking caused by static or electric charges may set fuel on fire.

Check earthing strap (equipotential bonding) (4, Fig. 3-38:) regularly for tightness.

Only a perfectly connected earthing strap can remove static or electric charges and thus avoid the risk of fire during refuelling.

The electrical circuit diagrams are annexed to thespare-parts list. Further information can be found in the Terex - Germany booklet "Working with circuit diagrams".

The electrical system switch-cabinet is located behind the hydraulic reservoir. The cabinet is described in the spare-parts list together with the designation of the electrical components.

Cables and cable lugs must not get in contact with other metal parts. Replace broken or damaged cables and the respective cable lugs.

Risk of injury caused by battery acid and gases.

Wear goggles, working gloves and firm working clothing.

Carry out voltage and continuity checks only by means of a test lamp or a measuring instrument. Do not check by "touching ground" with a bare wire. The short-circuit thus produced damages the alternator and the electronic modules of the PMS.

Alternator - Instructions

Never disconnect cables from the alternator, regulator and the battery when the engine is running to avoid damage to the alternator and regulator.

Do not interchange the cables when connecting the battery (observe polarity).

Carry out voltage and continuity checks only by means of a test lamp or a measuring instrument. Do not check by "touching ground" with a bare wire. The short-circuit thus produced damages the alternator and the regulator.

If a bulb does not work after replacement, the pertaining fuses, connection cables and contacts must be checked.

Gas-discharge lamps (optional) are operated with high voltage.
