Intended use
The basic machine is intended to be used under normal conditions, that is, outdoors, above ground, at an elevation up to 1,500
metres (4920 ft) above sea level, off-road, for earthmoving operations, at an ambient temperature between -25 C (-13 F) and +45
C (113 F). Conditions that deviate from this are also described in
the Operator's Manual. For use on public roads the machine must
be adapted according to governing national legislation.
If it is used for other purposes or in potentially dangerous environments, for example explosive atmosphere, flammable environment or areas with dust containing asbestos, etc., special safety
regulations must be followed and the machine be equipped for
such use. Contact the manufacturer/dealer for further information.
The exhaust system is certified as spark-arrester acc. to ATEX Directive 94/9/EC, EN 1834-2.
The machine is designed for a maximum machine weight (incl.
equipment and attachments) of 23000 kg (50706 lb) for L110F and
24000 kg (52911 lb) for L120F. If the maximum weight is exceeded, safety will be jeopardized. In addition, no warranties on the part
of the manufacturer will apply. However, always pay attention to
national regulations for travelling on public roads.
Environmental requirements
Bear the environment in mind when operating and during service
and maintenance of the machine. Always follow local and national
environmental legislation applicable to all handling of the machine.
Engine
Volvo D7 is a 7 litre (427 in3) engine. The engine is turbocharged
with intercooling of the air to air type. It has unit pumps (electronic
unit pumps, EUP). The unit pumps are positioned at an angle
above the pistons and are controlled via the camshaft and a control unit, E-ECU.
The fuel system is of the common rail type.
The cylinder head covers all cylinders.
The engine has two valves per cylinder.
The accelerator position is transferred electrically from accelerator
pedal and hand throttle control (optional equipment) to the control
unit (E-ECU).
Presentation

Electrical system
The machine has the following four control units (ECUs):
The I-ECU for the instrumentation is integrated with the display
unit, warning lamps and instruments and provides the operator
with information via these.
ECC (ECU for climate control system)
The V-ECU (for the machine) receives signals from sensors on the
machine and these are sent on to the I-ECU.
E-ECU (for engine control).
In addition to these four control units it is possible to obtain a V2ECU (for electric servo lever control). This is optional equipment.
Power transmission
The transmission is electro-hydraulically controlled, where all
gears are in constant mesh. The gear ranges are selected by the
application of different clutches. Between engine and transmission
there is a hydraulic torque converter, which steplessly controls the
output torque. Front and rear axles have planetary gears in the
wheel hubs, which reduce the strain on the respective drive shafts.
The axles are of the AWB type.
Brake system
The machine is provided with a dual-circuit all-hydraulic brake system with one circuit for each axle. Each circuit meets the requirements for secondary brake capability. The brakes are cooled with
oil that circulates in the axle.
Parking brake
The parking brake is electro-hydraulically controlled with a switch
on the instrument panel. The parking brake is a wet multi-disc
brake built into the transmission. The brake is applied by spring
force and is released hydraulically.
Steering system
The machine is provided with a load-sensing, hydrostatic steering
system and has a steering arc of 40.
Cab
The cab has a heating and ventilation system with defrosting for all
windows. Air conditioning is available as an option.
Emergency exit
The cab has two emergency exits, the door and the right side window.
Presentation

FOPS and ROPS
The cab is approved as protective cab according to FOPS and
ROPS standards, see page 234. FOPS is an abbreviation of Falling Object Protective Structure (overhead roof protection) and
ROPS is an abbreviation of Roll Over Protective Structure (rollover
protection).
If any part of the cab's protective structure is affected by plastic deformation or failures, the cab shall be replaced immediately.
Never carry out any unauthorised alterations to the cab, e.g. lowering the roof height, drilling, welding on brackets for fire extinguisher, radio aerial or other equipment, without first, via a dealer,
having discussed the alteration with personnel at the Volvo CE Engineering Department. This department will decide whether the alteration may cause the approval to become void. It is important
that all parties concerned are ware of these regulations.
Hydraulic system
The hydraulic system is load-sensing, which means that the oil in
the system is supplied in proportion to the position of the hydraulic
control levers. If the hydraulic control levers are in neutral position,
consequently no oil is supplied.
The hydraulic system is equipped with pumps in common for the
steering system and the working hydraulics. However, the steering
system has priority from one of the pumps. Normally brake charging takes place when steering and working hydraulics are used,
but when there is a greater demand, also the fan pump contributes.
Equipment
The machine can be provided with different types of optional
equipment, depending on the requirements of different markets.
Examples of such equipment are lever steering (CDC), Boom Suspension System (BSS), secondary steering, separate attachment
locking, automatic engine shutoff, electric servo lever control (V2ECU) and automatic greasing (standard on certain markets).
Modifications
Modifications of the machine including using non-approved attachments, accessories, and spare parts may impact the machine's
condition and the machine's ability to function as intended and designed. No modifications of any type may be performed without prior written approval from Volvo Construction Equipment. Volvo
Construction Equipment reserves the right to decline all warranty
claims which have arisen because of or can be traced to unauthorised modifications.
Persons or organisation who carry out unauthorised modifications,
assume all responsibility for consequences, which arise because
of the modification or can be attributed to the modification, including damaging affect on the machine.
Modifications may be considered to be officially approved, if at
least one of the following conditions has been met:
The attachment, the accessory, or the spare part has been
made or distributed by Volvo Construction Equipment och and
has been installed according to the approved method described in a publication available from Volvo Construction
Equipment; or
The modification has been approved in writing by the Engineering Department of the relevant product line at Volvo Construction Equipment.

Fuel system
Fuel recommendations:
The fuel used must be clean, completely distilled, stable and noncorrosive. Distillation range, cetane level and sulfur content are
most important when selecting fuel for optimum combustion and
minimum wear.
Engine working conditions and ambient temperature influence the
selection of the fuel with respect to cold handling properties and
cetane levels.
In cold weather conditions, below 32 F (0 C), the use of lighter
distillate or higher cetane level fuel are recommended. (Final boiling point max. 660 F (349 C) and cetane min. 45.).
To avoid excessive deposit formation and to minimize the emissions of sulfur dioxide into the ambient air, the sulfur content of the
fuel should be the lowest available. The diesel fuels recommended
for use in Volvo engines should meet standards according to
ASTM D 975 no. 1D (C-B) or no. 2D (T-T) and have a cetane
number not less than 42 as well as a sulphur content not exceeding 0.05 percent by weight.
Check for fuel leaks (while the engine is running at fast idle):
Ageing
Cracks
Blisters
Scuffing
Visually check for leaks in the intake hoses and exhaust pipe of
the turbocharger.

Operator comfort
Operator's seat
The operator's seat meets the standards according to EN ISO
7096:2000. In short this means that the seat is designed to minimise, in the best possible way, the whole body vibrations to which
the operator is exposed while operating the machine. The size of
the vibrations depends on different factors, many of which are not
related to the construction of the machine, such as ground conditions, speed and operating techniques. Note the following:
Adjust the seat according to the operator's weight and height.
Keep the ground on the work site in good condition
Choose the correct operating technique and speed for the existing circumstances.
Correctly adjusted operator seat increases operator comfort and
safety. Incorrectly adjusted seat may lead to injuries. The adjustments that should be made are:
A Back-rest inclination
B Lumbar support
C Inclination and raising/lowering seat
D Operator weight
E Longitudinal (leg room)
(The controls for the different adjustments may vary depending on
seat model.)
The mounting bracket for the operator seat has several holes for
attaching the seat. Thereby the operator seat can be moved on the
attaching bracket, thus providing further adjustment possibilities
longitudinally.
If the operator's seat has to be replaced, then the new seat must
be tested according to ISO 7096, which means that the seat manufacturer has designed and adapted the seat's vibration-damping
properties to the machine type in which it is to be installed.
It is forbidden to change to a new seat that does not have the
correct damping capacity.
Moving the operator seat should be carried out by a workshop authorised by Volvo CE.
NOTE! Do not adjust the seat while the machine is moving.
For lubricating operator's seat, see page 196.

Seat belt
The seatbelt supplements the safety design of the cab, or the canopy, and must be used to prevent the operator from being ejected
from the cab, if the machine should turn over. A fastened seatbelt
also helps the operator to maintain control of the machine if it
should pitch or rock violently or operate in other rough conditions.
Replace the seatbelt if the machine has been involved in an accident where the belt has been subjected to high strain or loading.
Only clean with warm water, not soap or cleaners. Allow the belt to
dry while it is fully pulled out, before rolling it up. Make sure the belt
is installed in a correct way.

Visibility
Visibility
WARNING!
Some attachments and equipment may affect the operator's
visibility. Pay attention to dead angles, where there is no
visibility, when operating on work sites and on public
roads. If needed, get help from a signal man.
The following information applies to machines delivered to
countries within the EU and may also apply to machines delivered to other countries outside the EU.
It may be impossible to obtain visibility to all areas around the machine. Optional devices and equipment such as warning systems,
mirrors, back-up alarm, and monitoring cameras (CCTV), etc.,
may be used to obtain acceptable visibility.
NOTE! Some parts of the basic machine may restrict visibility,
e.g., the cab's pillars and frames, exhaust pipe, engine hood,
as well as optional equipment such as buckets, pallet forks,
grapples, etc. The load that is handled with these attachments
may also restrict visibility.
To minimize risks caused by restricted visibility, the management
shall establish rules and procedures for the work site. For example:
Make sure that operators and persons on the site have received thorough safety instructions.
Use a signal man to assist the operator. Use hand signals according to the signal diagram, see page 156.
Make sure that persons on the site communicate with the operator before approaching the machine.
Restrictions for maximum permitted speed as well as for reversing the machine over long distances.
The machine is tested according to methods and criteria according to this standard. The method used to evaluate visibility
cannot include all aspects concerning the operator's visibility,
but gives information to determine if optional equipment for indirect visibility is necessary, e.g., warning systems.
The test was performed on a stationary machine without load,
with standard equipment and standard attachment, and with
the bucket in carry position.

Automatic shifting (APS)
(Gear selector in speed gear position 3 or 4)
The shift modulation allows the machine operator to select different automatic shifting programmes (modes) depending on the operating conditions.
Accelerate and the machine will start in 2nd gear (basic gear).
If the machine is already moving, it will engage 3rd gear automatically.
Up- and downshifts are made between 2nd 3rd 4th gears
forward, and between 2nd 3rd 4th gears rearwards.
When the direction of travel has been changed the machine will
start off in 2nd gear.

Positions L and M
Position "L" means that shifting will take place at low engine
speeds.
Position "M" means that shifting will take place at slightly higher
engine speeds.
With the accelerator fully depressed, upshifting takes place according to position "H".
The best utilisation is obtained if the accelerator is not depressed fully, as the difference in upshifting speed between the
different modes (L, M and H) will be distinct.

Brake smoothly. This is particularly important when operating with
a load and on slippery ground. If required during certain operations, the power transmission can be made to automatically disengage (declutch) when the brakes are applied. Activating this
function is carried out from the keyboard, see page 30.
Engine braking with the aid of the downshift button may be advantageous, particularly when operating downhill. In this way it is possible to reduce the warming up of the axle oil, see page 105.
Brake test
(Checking service brakes)
WARNING!
A brake test may only be carried out in an area where there
is no risk of accidents.
The brake test is carried out with the aid of computer software,
which measures the average retardation of the machine. The test
can be carried out by the machine operator from the display unit.
Conditions
1 Brake test must only be done within an area where it cannot
cause accidents (risk of being run into from behind etc.).
2 The ground must be level and the surface have good friction.
3 The machine must not be loaded.
4 The travelling speed of the machine must exceed 20 km/h (12.4
mph) when the service brakes are applied.
NOTE! Acceptable values can only be obtained if the test is
carried out on dry asphalt, dry concrete or other similar surfaces.

Measuring procedure
Make sure that the prerequisites according to the previous page
are met.
1 Select SERVICE on the keyboard, see page 30.
2 Select the sub menu with the arrow key.
3 Move off (gear selector position A).
When the speed exceeds 20 km/h (12.4 mph) there will be a
short pip signal and the display unit will show "0.0 m/s2 0.00 g",
which means that the speed required for the test has been
reached.
4 If the display unit instead shows "X.X m/s2 X.XX g", the speed
is too low (below 20 km/h = 12.4 mph).
To obtain credible and useful test values, the brake application must be carried out:
If this test too shows a value below 4.75 m/s2 (0.48 g), the brake
system must be checked at a workshop authorised by Volvo CE.

Economical operation
To utilise the system in the best way and to achieve low fuel consumption, the engine should be run at low speed during all operations. Exceptions are:
when filling the bucket, the rpm should be adapted to the material's hardness.
during the acceleration phase in longer work cycles (e.g., load
and carry). When transport speed is reached, you can ease off
on the throttle.
Lifting speed and power are sufficient already at low engine
speed, which will result in a lower fuel consumption, lower
sound level and higher comfort with maintained high productivity.
A fuel-saving way of operating also means less wear on the
machine and sparing the environment. Always strive to:
Cooperate
Cooperate with other operators to enable as effective work as
possible with the machines.
Contact your dealer for more information and for the possibility of
participating in a Volvo course for the area.

Whole-body vibrations
Whole-body vibrations
Whole-body vibration emissions on construction machinery are affected by a number of factors, such as the working mode, ground
conditions, speed, etc.
To a large extent the operator can influence the actual vibration
levels, because the operator controls the speed of the machine, its
working mode, the travel path, etc.
Therefore, the result can be a range of different vibration levels for
the same type of machine. For cab specifications, see page 234.
Use the proper type and size of machine, with optional equipment and attachments for a certain application.
Make sure that the ground is kept in good condition.
Remove larger stones and obstacles.
Fill in any ditches and holes.
Provide equipment and schedule time for maintaining terrain conditions.

Do not run faster down a grade than the machine can run up
the same grade.
If the machine slides, lower the bucket to the ground immediately. The machine may roll over if it becomes unbalanced. Do
not turn with a load in the bucket, unless the machine is stable.
If absolutely necessary, pile up dirt on the grade so that the machine can be placed on a level and stable surface.
IMPORTANT! Follow the recommendations for maximum permitted angle in the table below. The machine's function is
compromised, e.g. lubrication, if recommendations are not
followed and this may lead to machine damage.

IMPORTANT! The water must not reach over the lower edge
of seals for hubs, propeller shafts, and real axle oscillation
bearing.
When crossing a body of water with the machine, the water level
may not go over the centre of the wheel hub. Operate carefully if
the water is turbid or dark as it may conceal underwater obstacles
or dangerous deep holes in the bottom. Do not operate the machine in water if you are not sure that it is safe to do so.
After working in water, all grease points that have been under
water must be greased so that the water is forced out.
Watch out for slippery parts on the machine. Only step on slipprotected areas.
WARNING!
Avoid contact between unprotected skin and very cold
metal parts - skin will freeze to the metal.
WARNING!
Disconnect the electric engine heater when servicing the
machine. Risk of burn injuries and electric shock.

Attachments
Attachments
WARNING!
Do not use attachments to lift or transport a person or
several persons. Risk of personal injury.
Using the correct attachment for a particular job is a deciding factor
when it comes to the capacity of the machine. The machines have
either direct-mounted attachments or attachments mounted in a
bracket which allows rapid changes of attachments.
Always follow Volvo CE's recommendations when selecting attachments. Follow instructions in the Operator's Manual.
According to the EU Machine Directive the CE marking must be
shown on the machine product plate. This marking therefore also
covers the attachments which are designed by Volvo CE, as they
are an integrated part of the machine and adapted to the machine.
Attachments in the category "interchangeable equipment"1) (attachments that can be changed by operator) designed by Volvo
CE are CE-marked and adapted for Volvo wheel loaders and are
supplied with a "Declaration of Conformity" as well as instructions.
The machine owner is responsible for the attachments being approved for installation on the machine. The machine owner is responsible for the safety of the combination machine attachment.
For more detailed information about selecting attachments, contact a Volvo CE dealer to get a copy of the attachment catalogue.
The machine is prepared for different attachments. In order to
connect these hydraulically to the machine, the hydraulics must
first be depressurized, see page 135.
The machine's stability may vary depending on the attachments.
1) "interchangeable equipment" (attachments that can be
changed by operator) means that the attachment requires the
combination hydraulic attachment lock ("hook-on") and quick-couplings for optional hydraulics (3rd and 4th hydraulic function).
Operating techniques
Attachment brackets

Attachment brackets
IMPORTANT! When changing to another attachment, the
holes for the lock pins in the new attachment should be
cleaned and lubricated.
WARNING!
Never use an attachment until you have checked that it is
securely fastened and that the attachment including
hydraulic hoses, connections and similar are undamaged
your safety is involved.
Connecting
If the attachment requires optional hydraulics (3rd and 4th hydraulic function), see page 135.

connection with the changing of attachments. Otherwise
the pressure may be lost and as a consequence the attachment may work loose and cause injuries.
Operating techniques
135
WARNING!
When connecting attachments, the
operator should make sure that the
expected effect is obtained when
moving the control levers. An unexpected movement may possibly
result in an accident.
Always check the function before the
machine is put to work and that
hydraulic hoses etc. for the attachment can move freely and are sufficiently long throughout the whole
working range of the lifting arms and
the tilting function. Extension hoses
are available contact an authorised
dealer workshop.
The illustration on the left shows couplings for 3rd and 4th hydraulic function on the boom's right side. Couplings on the boom's left
side are found in the same position.

WARNING!
Never use the attachment, e.g., a bucket, to transport or lift
persons. Make sure that all persons are at a safe distance
from the attachment before starting to use the machine.
Choosing bucket
The choice of bucket is dependent on the condition of the material (hard/loose), its density (heavy/light) and on the tipping
load of the machine.
A too large bucket relative to the density of the material and the
tipping load of the machine will give the impression that the machine is weak and unstable and will not increase the productivity.

Bucket operation
To obtain efficient and safe operation it is important to bear the following points in mind:
Level the ground at the work site as far as possible and make
sure the ground is firm.
Avoid wheel spin by adapting the engine speed and by transferring as much weight onto the front wheels as possible. This
is achieved by slightly raising the bucket after it has begun to
enter the material.

The clamping arm is operated with control lever (3), see page
74 and 76 (electric servo).
IMPORTANT! Make sure that the clamping arm is completely
open if the bucket is used to push aside or compress materials. Otherwise the clamping arm may be damaged.
Check the hydraulic lines at regular intervals for leaks and visible damage.
Grease the bearings for the clamping arm and cylinder every
250 hours and every 50 hours in aggressive/corrosive conditions. For grease quality, see page 217.
Always depressurize the hydraulic system before starting maintenance or repair work, and before disconnecting the attachment.

Buckets
High-tip bucket (optional equipment)
The high-tip bucket is a combination of carrier and bucket. When
tipping, the carrier acts as an extension of the boom, which gives
great tipping height. When loading and transporting the bucket is
tilted back between the carrier, and the bucket is in almost the
same posisiton as a standard bucket, and thus there are barely
any disadvantages with regards to breakout force, lifting force, and
tipping load.
NOTE! For connecting and disconnecting hydraulic hoses for
3rd hydraulic function, see page 135. Always test the control
functions for the attachment before starting to work!
M300099A
The bucket cylinder is activated in "tilt function" with control lever (3), see page 74 and 76 (electric servo).
For loading, transporting, and lifting the bucket should be tilted
back completely.
Only empty the bucket when the desired lifting height has been
reached.
NOTE! Avoid tipping the high-tip bucket with the standard tipping function, or if that is the case, use low tipping speed, so
that the bucket remains completely tilted back on the carrier.
Avoid tipping the high-tip bucket forward or back against the
end-stops with full force in order to prevent damage to the
bucket and cylinders.
Check the hydraulic lines at regular intervals for leaks and visible damage, replace if needed.
Check the dampers (buffers) on the tilt-back stops at regular intervals, replace if needed.
Grease the bucket support and the cylinder bearings every 250
hours and every 50 hours in aggressive/corrosive conditions.
For grease quality, see page 217.
Always depressurize the hydraulic system before starting maintenance or repair work.

WARNING!
If visibility is limited by the load or the attachment, great
care must be taken. Walk around the machine before starting and make sure that no persons remain in or enter the
working area of the machine. If you are uncertain, raise the
load and check the conditions in the operating area by
looking under the load and operate at low speed. If necessary, arrange for a signalling person to take charge and to
help the operator under "tricky" circumstances. Great care
must be taken to prevent injuries and damage to property.
When loading rock, try to fill the first bucket with as fine material
as possible in order to soften the impact of subsequent larger
pieces.
Levelling
The bucket should lie flat against the ground. To be able to fill
any hollows you should have material in and in front of the

The CEN standard EN 474-3 applies within the EU, which means
that nominal operating load is expressed as a percentage of the
tipping load. In accordance with this, Volvo CE have chosen to
adapt its internal standard for stating the capacity of timber grapples.
The recommended maximum loads apply for combinations of timber grapples and wheel loaders which are equipped with approved
counterweights for timber handling.
Any equipment added to the attachment reduces the rated operating load.
In countries outside the EU and EEA other safety requirements
may apply, therefore, always observe local regulations.
Operating techniques

Close the clamping arm and begin to tilt slightly upward. Then repeat alternate closing and upward tilting of the grapple until it is full.
NOTE! Take great care when unloading a vehicle, particularly
when there are only a few logs left. If the grapple should grip
round the far edge of the platform this could lead to damage.
1003944
Stacking
For machines with Boom Suspension System it is recommended
that speed-dependent function should be selected. The precision
increases and the risk of "crows nest" reduces.
1 Keep the grapple as near the stack as possible to prevent logs
falling down.
2 Tilt the grapple slightly forward.
3 Carefully open the clamping arm fully so that the logs can roll
out of the grapple.
4 Reverse carefully and at the same time lower the grapple and
hold it close to the load to prevent logs from falling.
Basic rule: Make sure that the logs leave the grapple without falling.

Fire protection
Fire protection
WARNING!
Special equiment is required if the machine is used in areas
with very high fire hazard, e.g., explosive environments.
There is always a risk of fire. Find out which type fire extinguisher
that is used at your place of work and how it is used. A fire extinguisher is optional equipment and is available from your dealer. If
the machine is equipped with a fire extinguisher, it should be located on the back part of the front fender.
If the machine is equipped with a portable fire extinguisher it
should be of the type ABE (ABC in North America). The designation ABE means that it can be used to put out fires in both solid organic materials and fluids, and that the fire extinguishing agent
does not conduct electricity. Efficiency class I means that the fire
extinguisher must operate effectively for at least 8 seconds, efficiency class II at least 11 seconds, efficiency class III at least 15
seconds.
In general, a portable fire extinguisher ABE I corresponds to an effective content of 4 kg (8.8 lbs) (EN-class 13A89BC), standard EN
3-1995 part 1, 2, 4, and 5.
Fire prevention
Diesel fuel is flammable and must not be used for cleaning. Instead use car care products intended for cleaning or degreasing. Also keep in mind that certain solvents may cause skin
rash, damage the paint finish, and constitute a fire hazard.
Keep the place where the service is to be carried out clean. Oil
and water can make floors and steps slippery. This may also be
dangerous in connection with using electrical equipment or
electrically powered tools. Oily or greasy clothes are a serious
fire hazard.
Check daily that the machine and equipment are free from dust
and oil. This reduces the risk of fire and also makes it easier to
detect loose or damaged parts.
Take extra care when cleaning a machine that is used in a firesensitive environment, e.g. sawmill and refuse dumps. The risk
of spontaneous combustion can be further reduced by, for example, installing insulation on the muffler.
Fire protection
163
Check that fuel lines, hydraulic and brake hoses and electrical
cables have not been damaged by chafing or are not in danger
of being damaged in that way because of incorrect installation
or clamping. This applies particularly to unfused cables, which
are red and marked R (B+) and routed:
between the batteries
between battery and starter motor
between alternator and starter motor
Electrical cables must not lie directly against oil or fuel lines.
Do not weld or grind on components which are filled with flammable liquids, e.g. tanks and hydraulic pipes. Exercise care
with such work in the proximity of such places. A fire extinguisher should be kept near to hand.
164
WARNING!
Heating of painted surfaces, rubber, or plastic parts can
generate health-hazardous or environmentally hazardous
substances. Be very careful when, e.g., welding, grinding,
or cutting with a torch. Use suitable protective equipment.
When heated, paint gives off poisonous gases. Therefore, the
paint must be removed from an area of at least 10 cm (4 in) from
the spot where welding, grinding or gas cutting is to be carried out.
In addition to the health hazard, the weld will be of inferior quality
and strength, which in the future may cause the weld to break.
Methods and precautionary measures when removing paint
Blasting
Grinding machine
use a portable air extractor, respirator and protective
gloves and protective goggles
Painted parts that have been discarded must never be burnt. They
must be taken care of by an approved refuse handling plant.
165
WARNING!
Seals that have to tolerate high temperatures may be made
of fluor rubber (fluoro-carbon rubber). At very high temperatures, fluor rubber (fluoro-carbon rubber) may generate
compounds that are very corrosive to the skin and lungs.
Use suitable protective equipment.
When handling a machine which has been damaged by fire or
been exposed to other intense heat, the following protective
steps must under all circumstances be taken:
The area around a part that has been very hot and which may
be made of fluoro-carbon rubber must be decontaminated
through thorough and ample washing with lime water.
The hydrofluoric acid may remain on the machine parts for several years after a fire.
If swelling, redness or a burning sensation occurs and one suspects that the cause may be contact with heated fluoro-carbon
rubber contact a medical doctor immediately. Symptoms may
not appear until after several hours without any previous warning.
Refrigerant
NOTE! All types of service of the air conditioning unit must be
carried out at accredited workshops by, or under the supervision of, a person in a position of authority with certified competence.
WARNING!
R134a is moderately hazardous to personal health. When
handling refrigerant, wear tight-fitting safety goggles and
protective gloves. In liquid form, the refrigerant may cause
frostbite. At high concentration in gas form, the refrigerant
may have an anaesthetic effect. At lower concentrations
the gas may have an effect primarily on the nervous system.
The air-conditioning unit of the machine is filled with refrigerant
R134a at the factory. R134a has no damaging effect on the ozone
layer of the atmosphere, however, it contributes to the greenhouse
effect and must therefore never purposely be released into the
open air.
IMPORTANT! R134a may never be mixed with other refrigerants, e.g. R12, since this will cause failure of the unit.
166
Batteries
WARNING!
Handling of batteries may lead to electrolyte (battery acid)
coming into contact with eyes, skin, or clothes. Use suitable protective equipment. In case of acid splash in the eyes,
rinse the eyes immediately with water. Electrolyte spilled
on skin must be washed off immediately with soap and
water. Seek medical advice.
Make sure that metal objects, e.g. tools, rings and watch straps,
do not come into contact with the battery pole studs.
Make sure that the battery terminals' caps always are installed.
167
WARNING!
Work in conditions with health-hazardous dust, e.g., asbestos, may cause serious health problems. Special actions
must be taken to prevent spreading of dust. Contact a workshop authorised by Volvo CE for more information.
Crystalline silicon dioxide is a basic component part of sand and
granite. Many activities on building sites and in mines, such as
ditching, sawing and drilling, generate dust that contains crystalline silicon dioxide. This dust may cause silicosis (miner's consumption).
The employer or the management of the work site should inform
the operator about any occurrence of crystalline silicon dioxide on
the work site and provide special work instructions, necessary protective equipment and what actions are to be taken.
Also check local/national regulations regarding crystalline silicon
dioxide and silicosis.
Asbestos dust
It is important that the cab is kept free from dust / asbestos dust
as far as possible:
Enter and leave the machine in a place away from the asbestos contaminated area.
Keep clothes and shoes clean from dust.
Tidy and vacuum-clean the cab often and use personal
protective equipment, for instance respirator (dust mask)
intended for asbestos contaminated areas.
Make sure that the cab door is kept closed while operating.

Normally, follow the recommended air pressures, see page 231.
Special ground conditions may require adjustment of the air pressure. Follow the tyre supplier's instructions and do not exceed the
maximum permitted air pressures.
The tyre pressure may have been raised before the machine was
delivered from the factory. Therefore, check and adjust the tyre
pressure according to recommendations, before putting the machine to work for the first time.
WARNING!
Repairs or welding on a rim with an installed and inflated
tyre may cause the rim to crack or the tyre to explode.
Change and repair jobs on tyres and rims must be done by
specially trained personnel.
The instructions stated below apply to an inflated tyre where
the pressure needs to be increased. If the tyre has lost all
pressure, a trained service engineer should be called in.
When checking the air pressure, the tyre should be cold and
the machine be without a load.
Ask all other persons to leave the danger area (in front of the
rim).
Stand by the tyre's tread. Tyre installed on a split rim may explode causing injury or in the worst case death.
Use a long air hose (with a self-attaching air chuck) which allows you to stand outside the danger area.
Tyres on stored wheels (spare wheels) should be kept in a lying
down position and only be inflated sufficiently to keep the rim
parts in position.
Do not re-inflate a tyre, if the machine has been operated with
a tyre pressure that has been below 80% of the lowest recommended tyre pressure according to the specifications, or if the
tyre and/or rim are obviously damaged or are suspected of being damaged.

Pre filter
Main filter (inside the plastic casing)
The cab ventilation filters consist of prefilter and main filter. The
machine is often used in dusty conditions, and therefore it is delivered with filters that meet efficiency class F8 according to EN
779:2002. The filters reduce the risk of silicosis and also reduce
particles such as quartz in fine fractions, pollen, bacteria, and
mold/fungus spores. The machine is delivered with filters according to this classification, which also is recommended when changing. Contact your dealer for further information.
Clogging of the filters depends entirely on the machine's operating conditions, but the filters should be checked once a
week.
The main filter should be replaced every 2000 hours and the
prefilter every 1000 hours.
NOTE! The interval between filter replacements can be increased or reduced depending on how dusty the working environment is.
NOTE! The cab filters are only intended to separate particles
(dust) from the air. Any dangerous gases are not trapped by
the filters.
Cleaning
1 Use a respirator (face mask).
2 Open the side cover and remove the filters.
3 Shake the filters carefully without damaging them. No compressed air or vacuum-cleaners.

Air conditioning
Ask personnel at a workshop authorised by Volvo CE to
check the air conditioning once a year. Rules for handling refrigerant, see page 165.
WARNING!
The engine must be stationary when checking the belt tension rotating parts can cause injuries.
1 Loosen bolts (B) and adjust with adjusting screw (A) until the
correct belt tension is obtained. At correct tension, it should be
possible to deflect the belt approx. 15 mm (0.6 in) applying a
fairly hard pressure.
2 Then lock with bolts (B).
In order to prevent leakage and to safeguard the lubrication of the
seals in the air-conditioning compressor, the air conditioning
should be run for at least five minutes once a month.
At temperatures below freezing, 0 C (+32 F), the unit must
be run indoors, as the power supply to the compressor lead
is switched off by the thermostat whenever the evaporator
temperature is below +1 C (+34 F).
NOTE! Make sure that the exhaust gases are extracted or removed by ventilation in a suitable way.

Hydraulic system
Hydraulic system
The same hydraulic oil tank is used for working hydraulics, brake
and steering systems.
Any work on the system requires great demands on cleanliness. Even very small particles can cause damage or clog up
the system. Therefore, wipe areas in question clean before
any work is carried out.
The pressure-limiting valves for the hydraulic system are set to the
correct value at the factory. If the valves are altered by any person
other than service personnel at a workshop authorised by Volvo
CE, the guarantee from the manufacturer will be void.
Hydraulic oil
NOTE! If the machine is provided with biologically degradable
hydraulic oil, the same type of oil must be used when topping
up and when changing hydraulic oil. Different types of biologically degradable hydraulic oils must not be mixed. Mineral oil
must not be used together with biologically degradable hydraulic oil. When changing from mineral oil to biologically degradable hydraulic oil, contact a workshop authorised by
Volvo CE.
WARNING!
Take care when changing oil, as hot oil can cause burns to
unprotected skin.

Lubrication
203
Lubrication
Bearings, greasing
The service life of bushings and pivot pins can be extended considerably, if the machine is greased regularly and in the correct
way.
The greasing of bearings has two main purposes:
Add grease to the bearing to reduce friction between pin and
bushing.
L63189A
Replace old grease that may contain dirt particles. The grease
in the space inside the outer seal collects dirt and prevents dirt
and also water from penetrating into the bearing.
Wipe off grease nipples and grease gun before greasing, so
that dirt and sand is not introduced through the grease nipples.
Grease the bearing until new clean grease is forced out through
the outer seal. For recommended grease, see page 217.
Between 10 and 15 strokes with a normal hand-held grease gun is
required to grease one of the bearings for the lifting arms.

2 Fill the filler hose completely full with grease before beginning
to fill. This will prevent air from entering the system.
3 Remove the protective cap on the filler connection and connect
the coupling to the filler connection.
4 Fill with lubricant to the maximum level on the reservoir.*) If it is
hard to pump in the lubricant, either the filter behind the filler
connection is blocked or there may be dirt in the filler nipple itself. Clean the filter, if required replace the nipple and try again.
5 Re-install the protective cap.
6 Keep the lubrication pump in a dust-free place, so that it will not
be exposed to dirt.
*) If the reservoir is filled above the maximum level, the surplus lubricant will be drained through the ventilation hole on the left side
of the reservoir. Any air under the plate in the reservoir is also
drained through the ventilation hole.
207
Recommended lubricants
The system requires that the lubricant is clean and possible to
pump at the prevailing temperature. Therefore use lubricant of a
recommended NLGI class. A lower NLGI class grease, may reduce the lubrication effect with increased wear as a consequence.
Do not mix different types of lubricants. When changing, all lubricant must be changed, not only in the reservoir.

The recommended tyre pressures are based on the rated load for each handling case.
In case of heavier loads, especially during timber handling or loading-carrying operations, a higher tyre pressure is required. Contact the tyre manufacturer for information about which air pressure is the correct one for
the load to be handled and transported over a particular distance.
If L4 or L5 tyres are used for loading-carrying operations, due attention must be paid to the transporting distances.
Radial tyres are to be preferred for loading-carrying operations, as the build-up of heat is less in this type of
tyre.
