Terex Site Dumper TA9

The level is checked using the dipstick/filler - figure 9.9. Refers

With the oil warm the level should be between MIN and MAX on the dipstick Figure 9.10. refers.

NOTICE: Never overfill the transmission as this will result in oil breakdown due to excessive heat and aeration of the oil caused by the churning action of the oil. Breakdown of the oil will cause heavy sludge deposits that will block oil ports and build up on splines and bearings.

1. Drive the machine for about 1 minute and then stop and park up on flat level ground.

2. Pull out the dipstick and wipe off with a lint free cloth or paper.

3. Replace the dipstick and then remove again.

4. The level should be between the MIN and MAX marks on the dipstick.

5. If the oil is below the MIN mark top up with the correct grade of oil.

DANGER: NEVER reach or work under a raised skip unless a prop or similar method of supporting the skip safely is fitted.

Skip support lowered from its storage position

Hole in the support aligned with the holes in the chassis

Pin refitted and secured with the grip clip

Procedure repeated for the prop on the other chassis rail

Sign off on the skip support maintenance

DANGER: Failure to fit the articulation lock could cause a pinch point or trap that will result in death or serious injury.

Articulation lock fitted before work?

Grip clip and pin removed from the bar in its storage position?

Lock bar pivoted round until it lines up with the holes in the chassis?

Pin refitted and secured with the grip clip?

The cooling system is pressurised to increase boiling point of the coolant and therefore extreme caution must be taken when the cooling system is hot to prevent scalding.

WARNING: NEVER perform checks or maintenance on the cooling system when it is hot. NEVER remove radiator rap when engine is hot - severe risk of scalding. NEVER remove radiator cap when the engine is running. Antifreeze is TOXIC. If accidentally swallowed, medical advice must be sought Immediately.

Antifreeze is corrosive to the skin. If accidentally spilled on to skin, it must be washed off immediately. Protective clothing and eye protection must be worn when handling antifreeze.

Allow the engine to cool before checking the level. With the engine cold the correct coolant level should be level with the mark on the decal positioned next to the expansion tank level gauge. Should the level be below this mark coolant of the correct specification must be added.

1. Remove the filler cap on the expansion tank.

3. Add the correct grade of coolant until it is level with the mark on the decal.

Clean the dumper thoroughly, this will make it easier to find oil leaks and loose fittings etc.

• Take care to clean the oil and fuel tank filler necks.

• Drain plugs must also be cleaned.

• Remove debris from the radiator vents and blow out the radiator matrix with compressed air occasionally.

• Using water or a pressure washer to wash down the exterior of the dumper with or without detergent is generally all that is required.

• Avoid spraying electrical equipment with pressure washers.

• When cleaning the dumper it is preferable to use a biodegradable cleaner. Do not use solvents or like products which can damage rubber and plastics.

All safety signs fitted to the machine must be legible, when cleaning only use mild soap and water to clean the signs - DO NOT use solvent based cleaners because they may damage the safety sign material. All safety signs MUST be replaced immediately they become damaged or unreadable.;
