8 Hours / Daily service

To be performed every 8th hour of operation or once a day.

1.General

1.1.Walk around check, before start

•Check for leaks at the engine (see also item 2.1), transmission, differentials, reduction/tandem housings, tanks, hydraulic hoses and lubrication system. •General check for loose bolts on the driveline, specially on radiator, engine/transmission brackets and at the prop. shaft flanges. •Check for damage, wear and other abnormalities on the visible parts of frames, body, tyres, cylinders, etc. •Check lights. Replace burnt out bulbs. If leakages, loose bolts, damages or other abnormalities are observed, remedy if necessary (before operation). If necessary contact your local Moxy Dealer.

1.2.Check driver's seat, before start

•Check function.

•Check all seat adjustments for easy operation. •Check function of the air valve.

•Check safety belt for proper lock functions. See chapter 3, seat adjustment, for more detailed information.

1 2 To be performed every 8th hour of operation or once a day.

2.Engine

2.1. General condition check - look for leakages

Remedy as necessary

1.Start the engine. 2.Look for leakage of oil, coolant, fuel, air and exhaust. 3.Tighten or change leaking connections. Check the overflow holes (1) which show whether the O-rings between the cylinder liner and crackcase are leaking, see drawing. a.If coolant is leaking out, the two upper O-rings are leaking. b.If oil is leaking out, the lower O-ring is leaking. 4.Check that the drain hole (2) on the coolant pump is not blocked, see drawing. If there is leakage, change the pump seal.

5.Check that the drain for the "V" behind the injection pump is open all way through the block and drain pipe so that no fluid can collect in the "V". See drawing. 6.A small amount of leakage from the overflow holes when running-in the engine is normal. (Seals and O-rings are fitted lubricated with soap or oil).

This leakage normally stops after a time. If there is a large amount of leakage - contact your Moxy Dealer

2.2.Check oil level, before start 1*

•The correct level shall be between upper and lower mark on the dip stick (dump truck on level ground) (1). •The dipstick is found on the right hand side of the engine (1). •If the engine has been running: Let the engine remain stationary for at least 1 minute before checking the oil level. •Fill up with oil (see oil specification sheet, chapter 6) if level has dropped to the lower mark (2).

Check level correctness.

To be performed every 8th hour of operation or once a day.

2.3.Check coolant level, before start 5*

•The expansion tank shall be approx. half filled when the dump truck is on level ground. Refill with coolant of correct mixture if level is lower.

•If large quantities are required to correct the level, check and remedy the cause in such a case.

CAUTION

Be careful when removing the filler cap of a hot engine. Hot coolant can spurt out! Never add large amounts of cold coolant when engine is hot. The temperature difference can cause cracks in the engine.

2.4.Check fuel level, before start 13*

1.Turn on the starter switch key (to pos. 1) and check on the fuel gauge that there is enough fuel. 2.Fill up with fuel if necessary.

NOTE

Always make sure that there is enough fuel in the tank. NEVER run out of fuel.

To be performed every 8th hour of operation or once a day.

2.5.Function check of the centrifugal cleaner, after operation 2*

The rotor rotates very fast, and will normally carry on rotating after the engine is stopped. 1.Stop the engine when it is warm. 2.Listen for spinning sound from rotor, or feel if cleaner housing vibrates. 3.The rotor normally rotates 30 - 60 seconds after the engine has stopped. 4.If not, dismantle and check the cleaner, see 500 hours service.

2.6.Drain air tanks, after operation 12*

•Front chassis: Pull the handle in front of the truck (left hand side) outwards to release air pressures from all front chassis air tanks. •Rear chassis: Pull the drain chain on the underside of the tank sideways to release the air pressure. • If condensation is present in the escaping air, release system pressure completely and replace the air dryer cartridge, see 2000 hours service

To be performed every 8th hour of operation or once a day.

3.Transmission

3.1.Check oil level, before operation 20*

1.The dump truck must be standing on level ground. 2.The gear selector shall be in neutral and confirm that the parking brake is ON. 3.Run the engine at low idle. 4.Turn the dip stick handle (behind the cab) a few turns to the left to release the seal pressure. 5.Pull out the dip stick and clean it with a clean cloth. 6.Insert dip stick fully and remove it again (at least 2x) 7.Check level: Cold oil, 40 oC: lower mark Hot oil, 80 oC: upper mark 8.If necessary correct the level by adding oil according to the transmission oil list (chapter 6) through the dip stick tube. 9.Insert the dip stick again and turn handle clockwise to tighten the sealing.

CAUTION

Do not overfill with oil! Both too high and too low level can cause serious internal damage!

4.Hydraulic system

4.1.Check oil level, before start 40*

1.Read the oil level in the oil level gauge.

Level shall be approx. at the middle of the gauge. 2.Fill up with oil (see oil specification sheet, chapter 6) if necessary.

NOTE

The dump truck must be horizontal and dump body completely lowered!

To be performed every 8th hour of operation or once a day.

5.Brake system

5.1.Check brake fluid levels, before start 60*

Two containers on right hand side in engine compartment and two containers on rear chassis.

•The containers shall be min. 2/3 filled (see marks).

Fill up with correct brake fluid, if necessary. •If the containers have to be filled up with brake fluid almost monthly, check the brake system for leaks and/ or worn brake linings. Replace brake linnings if necessary. •Experiences has shown that if the brake fluid containers are filled up from minimum to maximum 3 times, the brake linnings could have reached the min. thickness.

Therefore, if the level in the containers decreases, the brake linings must be checked /replaced (see 500 hours service for procedure).

CAUTION

• When refilling, do not overfill! • Use only brake fluid as specified in the specification sheet, chapter 6!

6.Lubrication

One lubricator on each tip hinge.

6.3.Tandem bearings, 2 lubricators 52*

One lubricator on rear end of each tandem housing.

To be performed every 8th hour of operation or once a day.

7.Parking brake

7.1.Check braking (holding) capacity, before operation

1.Apply the parking brake (indicator light) and make sure that the system pressure is at normal operating pressure which is between 6.8 - 7.8 bar (see air pressure gauge, in chapter 3). 2.With the gear selector in 2nd gear, increase engine speed slowly. 3.The parking brake must be able to keep the dump truck stationary at engine speeds up to 1600 rpm. If not, check parking brake system and contact your Moxy Dealer.

To be performed every 8th hour of operation or once a day.

8.2.Check function, before operation

1.Apply the parking brake (indicator light) and make sure that the system pressure is at normal operating pressure which is between 6.8 - 7.8 bar (see air pressure gauge, in chapter 3). 2.Stop the engine. 3.Depress brake pedal firmly and listen for leaks in the air system. Also check that the brake fluid warning light (chapter 3) does not illuminate and the air pressure gauge (chapter 3) for large pressure drop. 4.Check for brake fluid leakage at master cylinders, pipes and hoses.

5.Start the engine and release the parking brake. 6.Drive the dump truck slowly on firm, level ground and depress the brake pedal firmly. 7.Check that the braking effect is good and equal.
