Ensure that the maintenance area is adequately
secured.
If the machine is completely shut-down for main-
tenance and repair work, it must be secured
against inadvertent starting by:
- removing the ignition key and
- attaching a warning sign.
Carry out maintenance and repair work only if the
machine is positioned on stable and level ground
and has been secured against inadvertent move-
ment and buckling.
To avoid the risk of accidents, individual parts and
large assemblies being moved for replacement
purposes should be carefully attached to lifting
tackle and secured. Use only suitable and tech-
nically perfect lifting gear and suspension systems
with adequate lifting capacity. Never work or stand
under suspended loads.
The fastening of loads and the instruction of crane
operators should be entrusted to experienced
persons only. The marshaller giving the instruc-
tions must be within sight or sound of the oper-
ator.
For carrying out overhead assembly work, always
use specially designed or otherwise safety-ori-
ented ladders and working platforms. Never use
machine parts as a climbing aid.

Adjustment of driver's seat,


safety instructions 10000092-en

The driver's seat permits adjustment of backrest


inclination, height and position. The suspension of
the seat can be adjusted to suit the driver's
weight.

Risk of accidents
Never adjust the seat while driving,
because you must concentrate on
the road. Before adjusting the seat:
- Stop the machine.
- Select pushbutton "travelling di-
rection" neutral.
- Apply parking brake.
- The locking levers of the fore-and-
aft position and of the backrest ad-
justment must engage in the de-
sired position.
- After locking, the driver's seat and
the backrest can no longer be
moved into other positions.

Suspension of driver's seat


To avoid health risks for the driver's
back, the weight adjustment of the
seat should be adapted before op-
erator changes to the individual
weight of the new driver.

Socket outlet in driver's cab 10000060-en

A socket outlet is installed in the panelling on the


right behind the operator's seat (Fig. 1).
This provides the output voltage of the voltage
transformer (12 V) for connection of the cool-box
(option). Other electrical consumers can also be
connected as long as the maximum output of the
voltage transformer is not exceeded.
Important:
The voltage transformer installed at the factory is
designed so as to supply not only a cassette radio
but also the cool-box (option); the maximum output
is 90 W.
So check the power input of the equipment you Fig. 1
wish to connect. When the voltage transformer is
overloaded, its temperature rises so that the over- o
load protection switches off and leaves the con-
nected unit without current. In this case, pull the
plug out of the socket (Fig. 1). After 5 - 10 minutes,
the overload protection has cooled down and reac-
tivates the voltage transformer. If the overload
condition persists, the thermal shutdown does not
work anymore and fuse F B6 in the fuse box
blows. To replace the fuse, the panelling below the
radio must be removed.
The socket is live when the ignition-key is either in
position I or in position P.

Refuelling from cans


If the machine is refuelled frequently
or regularly with fuel from cans or
barrels, there is an increased risk of
dirt particles and water getting into
the fuel system.
In this case:
- Always fill in fuel through a fine-

- Use only suction hoses equipped
with a fine filter; Winter operation
- Drain off water and deposits from When "summer diesel" is used, there is a risk of

Filter preheating
(low-temperature package - optional)
The machine can optionally be equipped with a
filter preheating system. The fuel system is then
safe for operation down to about –25 °C when
"winter diesel" resisting the cold down to –15 °C is
used.
Should the fuel nevertheless have become so vis-
cous at temperatures below –25 °C that the engine
cannot be started anymore, it is sufficient to place
the machine for a short time into a heated room.

It is forbidden to mix fuel additives


(pour point depressants) and similar
agents into the diesel fuel.

Selecting the power level 10000239.02-en

The power level is selected with keys


(12 and 13, Fig. 1). If the arrow keys are de-
pressed longer, the values keep changing automa-
tically.
The engine speed can be varied in 7 stages up to
maximum engine speed and pump performance.
Power levels 6 and 7 are used for working with
high pump output (see: "Before beginning work").
Power levels 4 and 5 are used for working in the
economy power range of the engine. Engine speed
and pump output are reduced and the working
speed is slightly lower.
In power levels 1 thru 3, the machine works with Fig. 1
further reduced engine speed and pump output.
These power levels are particularly useful for pre-
cision work, e.g. lifting operations, and for further
reduction of the fuel consumption.
The selected power level is indicated on the dis-
play screen by dark bars representing the power
stages (1, Fig. 2).
When the road travel mode is active (see: "Travel-
ling, multi-function display screens"), the DRIVE
mode is activated additionally.
After starting of the engine, the machine is set to
power level 2 which was in use before engine shut-
off (exception: warming up phase / WARMUP).

The slewing speed increases the further the control


lever is moved to the right or left.

Braking the superstructure


The slewing movement of the superstructure is
braked when the slewing control lever (70, Fig. 2)
returns to position 0.
Key (19, Fig. 2) can be used to adjust the braking
effect of the superstructure holding brake. The time
between control lever release and standstill of the
superstructure can thus be adapted in three steps
to the actual requirements.

Countering (i.e. shifting the slewing control lever in


the opposite direction) enhances the braking action
even further.

Both LEDs flash at intervals if a fault


occurs in the system. Key (19) has
lost its function. The switching func-
tions are blocked. In neutral posi-
tion of slewing control lever
(70, Fig. 2), the slewing braking ac-
tion is weaker. If necessary, in-
crease the slewing braking action
by moving the lever to the opposite
direction (countering).

There is now a greater risk in the
slewing range.

tions".

· If possible, working operations should always be


carried out by pulling the stick. When digging,
use the retracting forces of the stick and work
with shallow cutting angles of the backhoe
(Fig. 1). Steep backhoe angles during digging
reduce the performance. See: “Switching over to
levelling").

Fig. 3

· The maximum digging forces are produced at


angles ß ~166° (Fig. 4).
· If the machine is to develop maximum digging
forces, digging must be done slowly. The stick
cylinder must have the longest possible lever
arm.

Fig. 1

· Make smooth and regular movements with the


boom. Raising and lowering of the boom must
always be initiated slowly and smoothly. When
the boom is stopped abruptly, the machine is
subjected to heavy shock loads. This results in
excessive wear and damage (Fig. 2).

Description of the electromagnet lifting system (MOZELT) 10000584.02-en

Range of application
The power supply units T 4002 (DBP) have a rated
power of 13,0 kW at a regulated output voltage of
220 V DC. The duty factor of the T 4002 system is
100 % for continuous 24-hour operation.
The systems are designed for mobile machines
primarily used for the handling of ferromagnetic
materials such as heavy scrap, pigs, gray pig-iron,
cast-iron, shears scrap and metal chips and scale.
The electrical power rating of the magnets con-
nected to the T 4002 system may be up to 10 %
higher than the rated power of the system. The
T 4002 system permits connection of all types of
load-lifting magnets.

Electric generator drive


The electric generator T 4002 needs a constant
drive speed of 3000 rpm. Its working speed range
extends to +/- 10 % of this value, i.e. to between
2700 rpm and 3300 rpm. During shut-off of the
magnet, the hydraulic drive motors can tolerate
peak speeds of up to 4000 rpm if they do not last
longer than 0.5 s. At speeds above 3400 rpm and
below 2700 rpm no magnet operation or only lim-
ited operation is possible.

States-of-operation display
The most important operating and switching states
are displayed on a multifunction display (MFD)
inside the cab. The multifunction display is installed
in a holder besides the machine multifunction dis-
play (Fig. 3). The following values are displayed:
- ready for operation (a)
- magnet attracts material (b)

Radio 10000230-en

The radio is installed by the machine manufacturer


to the right of the driver’s seat (Fig. 1).
Various types of radio may be installed. Instruc-
tions are given in the handbook provided with the
radio.
The on-board voltage (24 V) is reduced to the
service voltage of the radio (12 V) by a voltage
transformer.
When the motor is switched off (key switch Electri-
cal System in position 0), no power is supplied to
the radio.
Therefore switch the key-switch to position P be-
fore switching on the radio.
Important:
Programmed settings in the radio (e.g. safety
codes) may be lost, as the entire on-board electri-
cal system is without power when the key switch is
in position 0. This depends, however, on the spe-
cific features of the installed radio. Therefore check
in your radio manual whether the entered codes
can be secured by programming (e.g.: "Save
safety codes permanently").

- Always fill in fuel through a fine
mesh;
- Use only intake hoses with a mi-
crofilter;
- Drain off water from the fuel filter
more often than specified in the
maintenance schedule;
- Drain off water and deposits from
the fuel tank at shorter intervals;
- Replace all fuel filters at shorter
intervals.

Never use "biodiesel"


"Biodiesel" may damage the injec-
tion system and the engine.
Use only diesel fuel produced from
mineral oil complying with standard
specification EN 590.

Sealing elements
When dismantling parts, watch for
sealing elements.
Check sealing elements prior to in-
stallation and replace any that are
even slightly damaged.
When assembling, ensure a perfect
fit.
Oil-level check and oil change
Position the machine horizontally.
Change the oil when the machine is
at operating temperature.
Warm oil flows better and carries
suspended particles (carbon or ab-
raded matter) better.

Lubricating
Clean the lubricating nipple, then
lubricate as scheduled.

After servicing
To prevent corrosion, coat all bright
metal parts with a grease film. On
completing work, reinstall all protec-
tive devices.
Never start the drive motor while
work is being done on the machine.
Carry out a performance test with
the machine.

A full lubrication cycle comprises a pause and a
greasing interval. The lubrication cycle is perma-
nently repeated after the machine has been put
into operation. During the greasing interval, the
reservoir pump conveys lubricant to the greasing
points via the distributors.
The duration of the pauses determines the total
number of lubrication cycles performed within the
working time. The amount of lubricant pumped is
determined by the length of the greasing intervals.
Longer greasing intervals require more lubricant
whereas shorter ones mean lower consumption.
Pauses and greasing intervals are permanently
stored and added up in the control unit when the
machine is shut off. After switching on (ignition
lock), the control cycle is resumed where it was Fig. 3

· Place a recipient for waste oil under the drain
opening (for the capacity see under "Filling

· Choose the proper drain hose from the tool kit.
· Unscrew protective cap from oil drain valve.
· Screw on drain hose (2); the valve opens and the

with the outlet on top have a suction pipe reaching

Depressurizing the hydraulic system 10000045-en

Before beginning the work, the hydraulic system


must be depressurized:
· Set the working equipment on the ground.
· Shut off the engine.
· Turn the electrical system key-switch to position I
(ignition ON).
· Switch on the pilot control (lever 72).
· Move the control lever or the pedal of the cylin-

directions.
Important:
Fig. 1
Special caution is required when working on cylin-
ders equipped with pipe break systems. After ac-
tuation of the control levers and pedals, the cylin-
ders may still contain residual pressure.
- In boom cylinders with pipe break systems on
the piston side, this residual pressure can be re-
moved by lifting the undercarriage about 10 cm.
In this case, the machine is pressure-supported
by the rod side of the cylinder. The piston side to
be opened is without pressure.
- In adjusting cylinders or in stick cylinders with a
pipe break system on the rod side, the residual
pressure can be removed by retracting the re-
spective cylinder almost completely, with the un-
dercarriage being raised about 10 cm with the Fig. 2
extended working equipment. In this case, the o
machine is pressure-supported by the piston side
of the respective cylinder. The rod side to be
opened is without pressure.
· Turn the electrical system key-switch to position

· Switch off the pilot control (lever 72).
· Remove the precharging pressure in the hydrau-
lic oil reservoir by inserting the locking pin into
the side of the breather valve (Fig. 2). Unscrew
the valve (Fig. 1) carefully until the breather bore
is open (audible hiss).
The residual pressures in the working equipment
and in the hydraulic pilot control are now removed.

Replacing the breather valve 10000048-en

The breather valve (Fig. 1) ensures venting and


aerating of the hydraulic reservoir when the hy-
draulic oil level varies.
The valve also ensures a reservoir precharging
pressure of approx. 0,3 bars (4.36 psi).
The valve is equipped with a filter element. This
filter cannot be replaced or cleaned. For this rea-
son, the valve must be replaced as a whole in acc.
with the servicing plan.
The filter head turns freely on the base. The valve
can therefore not be removed by unauthorized
persons.
- For unscrewing of the valve it is necessary to Fig. 1
insert the locking pin (supplied with each valve)
into the side of the valve (Fig. 2). The old valve
can then be screwed off carefully (precharging
pressure escaping from the hydraulic reservoir).
- Insert the locking pin into the new valve and
tighten by hand.
- Withdraw the locking pin and keep for future use
(e.g. on your key ring).

The pivoting steering knuckle (arrow, Fig. 1), trans-


fers the steering forces to the wheel which is
turned by the steering knuckle. The wheel angle is
limited by a spacer (1) fastened to the steering
knuckle with a screw (2, Fig. 1) and by a stop on
the axle body (3) to ensure contact-free turning of
the steered wheels at full wheel angle and maxi-
mum floating of the axle.

To ensure perfect driving and


steering properties of the machine,
the wheel angle must be limited in
consideration of existing machine
conditions. The wheel angle varies
depending on the axle and the tyres.
After each replacement of the axle
or change of tyres, the wheel angle
must be properly readjusted and
permanently checked. The necessa-
ry spacers and screws can be ob-
tained from our spare-parts service.

Starting up the engines


· Start up engine of supplying machine and run at
high speed.
· Start up engine of receiving machine. If the en-
gine fails to start up after 15 seconds, wait for
one minute, then start up again.
· When engine has started up, proceed as follows:
- switch on several consumers with high current
demand, e.g. the complete lighting system, the
blower at stage 3 and possibly also the air
conditioner. This prevents voltage peaks being
produced when detaching the jumper cable.
Voltage peaks may cause damage to elec-
tronic components.
- Disconnect the jumper cables in the following
order:
- negative pole at receiving machine (4)
- negative pole at supplying machine (3)
- positive pole at supplying machine (2)
- positive pole at receiving machine (1)
- Switch the high-current consumers off again.
- Run engine for about half an hour at low
speed. The batteries are partially charged.
Have the electrical system of the machine checked
to determine why the batteries were discharged.

General information on fault codes


The following units of the machine are permanently
monitored:
- Central Unit (CU)
- Power-Control-System (PCS)
- Electro-Hydraulic Controller (ESX)

In the event of a fault, a fault code (e.g. N°7004)


is diplayed in the upper half of the multi-function
display (108, Fig. 1) in combination with two col-
oured warning lights (112 yellow and 113 red,
Fig. 1) which will light up individually or together,
depending on the type of fault. Depending on the Fig. 1
severity of the fault, a special tone signal will be

446 - 01.02.2005 / For information only - 604.35.232.00-EN


OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS MH PLUS / MH 5.6

The following groups of error codes can be dis-


played:

Group Unit
7000 Central unit and engine
8000 Power-Control-System
9000 Hydraulics

These faults can, as a rule, not be rectified by your


own means as they require special tools and spe-
cial knowledge.
Therefore, note the fault code and inform our
Service Dept. accordingly if you cannot rectify the
fault yourself.
Apart from the fault code, the Service Dept. needs
the following information:
- machine type, machine no., possibly also the
engine no.
- part number P/N of the PCS, ESX
- what work was being done when the fault oc-
curred?
- did the machine behave differently from normal
situations?
- which pilot and warning lamps were lit up?
- what else was displayed on the screen?
- what external influences was the machine ex-
posed to (great heat/cold, dust, continuous
loading over a long time)?
