General notes on mainte-
nance
When performing maintenance work ensure
strict compliance with the respective safety in-
structions and particularly the safety regula-
tions mentioned in chapter 2 of these
operating and maintenance instructions.
Thorough maintenance of the machine guaran-
tees far longer safe functioning of the machine and
prolongs the lifetime of important components.
The effort needed for this work is only little com-
pared with the problems that may arise when not
observing this rule.
l
Always clean machine and engine thoroughly
before starting maintenance work.
l
For maintenance work stand the tamper on
level ground and secure it against tipping over.
l
Perform maintenance work only with the motor
switched off.
Environment
During maintenance work catch all oils and fu-
els and do not let them seep into the ground or
into the sewage system. Dispose of oils and fu-
els environmentally.
Notes on the fuel system
The lifetime of the diesel engine mainly depends
on the purity of the fuel.
l
Keep fuel clean ofd any contamination and
water.
l
Keep used filters in a separate waste contain-
er and dispose of environmentally.
l
When choosing the storage place for fuel
make sure that spilled fuel will not harm the en-
vironment.
Notes on the performance of the en-
gine
On diesel engines both combustion air and fuel in-
jection quantities are thoroughly adapted to each
other and determine power, temperature level and
exhaust gas quality of the engine.
If your engine has to work permanently in "thin air"
(at higher altitudes) and under full load, you should
consult the customer service of BOMAG or the
customer service of the engine manufacturer.
