Warranty inspection 172 Service Information 2014/3/20
Profile:
BHL, BL70 [GB]
Warranty inspection
It is important that the machine is checked further during the initial run-in time, and that's why two warranty inspections
shall be performed. The first at 100 operating hours, the second at 1000 operating hours.
Times for these inspections may change without special notice from Volvo Construction Equipment.

WARNING
To avoid severe burns, DO NOT attempt the next procedure when the engine is HOT. Wait for the engine, silencer
and tailpipe to cool before proceeding.
NOTE!
The check should be carried out when the oil is cold and has had time to run down to the oil pan.
1. Place the machine on a flat surface in Service position two, see 173 Service positions.
2. Use the dipstick to check the engine oil level. See 173 Service positions for location of the engine oil level dipstick.
The measured level should be between the max. and min. marks. Fill in new oil if necessary.

Service positions
Before you begin service work the machine must be placed on level ground and prepared as shown below. If work has to be
carried out on the machine before it has cooled, there is a risk of burns. Therefore, take care when working with hot liquids
and machine parts.

1. Service position 1, Backhoe in transport position, loader boom raised.

2. Service position 2, Backhoe in transport position, loader boom lowered to ground.
3. Service position 3, Backhoe fully extended, loader boom lowered to ground.
1 Place the machine on level ground and apply the parking brake.
2 Lower the stabilizers.
3 Place the backhoe and the loader boom in the required service positions.
If the loader boom is raised, the loader safety strut must be fitted.
If the backhoe is in the roading position, the boom lock must be applied.
4 Stop the engine. Remove the ignition key.
5 Attach a black and yellow label to the steering wheel with the message "forbidden to start the engine".
6 Chock the wheels.
7 Carefully release the pressure in pressure lines to avoid risks.

Profile:
BHL, BL70 [GB]
Engine, air cleaner filter, replacing

Op nbr
The degree of engine wear depends largely on the cleanliness of the induction air. The air cleaner prevents dust and other
impurities from entering the engine. Therefore, it is very important that the air cleaner should be checked regularly and
maintained correctly.
The air cleaner is positioned inside the engine cover above the engine.
NOTE!
Clean the air filter cover by pressing the rubber manifold, located at the bottom on the air cleaner cover. This job should be
carried out when required.
Primary filter, maintenance and replacing
As well as replacing the filter, the cover for the air cleaner should also be cleaned as this works as a container for
particles which have not been trapped in the filter.
Check that all hose and pipe connections from the air cleaner to the engine induction manifold are tight.
Replace the primary filter every 1000 hours.
1. Pull the yellow locking tab to release the cover lock.
Figure 2
Locking tab
2. Turn the filter cover anti-clockwise and remove the cover.
3. Remove the primary filter.

Always empty and clean the cover when changing filter.
NOTE!
Do not, under any circumstances, run the engine without a filter or with a damaged one.
Figure 3
Secondary filter
Replace the secondary filter every 1000 hours.
The secondary filter works as a protective filter if the main filter is damaged.
If the air filter warning light is illuminated, in spite of the fact the primary filter has been replaced, this indicates that
the secondary filter is blocked.
This job must be carried out in a clean environment. If possible place the machine inside in a workshop or on a wet
surface to prevent dust entering the engine.
4. Remove the secondary filter.

The secondary filter works as a protective filter if the main filter is damaged.
If the air filter warning light is illuminated, in spite of the fact the primary filter has been replaced, this indicates that the
secondary filter is blocked.
This job must be carried out in a clean environment. If possible place the machine inside in a workshop or on a wet surface
to prevent dust entering the engine.

Service Information

Working on the electrical 191 Service Information 2014/3/20
system of the machine
Profile:
BHL, BL70 [GB]
Working on the electrical system of the machine

Only use test instruments with a light-emitting diode, never a test light with a light bulb, for example, during
trouble-shooting of the electrical system!
The high firing voltage of the bulb can destroy expensive electronic components.
When installing a two-way radio, mobile phone, etc., installation must be performed according to manufacturer's
instructions in order to eliminate interference with electronic systems and components intended for the function of
the machine.
Service Information

Service positions 191 Service Information 2014/3/20
Profile:
BHL, BL70 [GB]
Service positions
Before you begin service work the machine must be placed on level ground and prepared as shown below. If work has to be
carried out on the machine before it has cooled, there is a risk of burns. Therefore, take care when working with hot liquids
and machine parts.
Figure 1
Service position
1. Service position 1, Backhoe in transport position, loader boom raised.

2. Service position 2, Backhoe in transport position, loader boom lowered to ground.
3. Service position 3, Backhoe fully extended, loader boom lowered to ground.
1 Place the machine on level ground and apply the parking brake.
2 Lower the stabilizers.
3 Place the backhoe and the loader boom in the required service positions.
If the loader boom is raised, the loader safety strut must be fitted.
If the backhoe is in the roading position, the boom lock must be applied.
4 Stop the engine. Remove the ignition key.
5 Attach a black and yellow label to the steering wheel with the message "forbidden to start the engine".
6 Chock the wheels.
7 Carefully release the pressure in pressure lines to avoid risks.
Thank you for your purchase.
Have a nice day.
