NOTE! The information in the manual applies to machine
models L110F and L120F, unless otherwise stated.
Many hours are spent on design and production to make a Instrument panels
machine that is as efficient and safe as possible. The acci-
dents which occur in spite of this, are mostly caused by the
human factor. A safety conscious person and a well main-
tained machine make a safe, efficient and profitable combina-
tion. Therefore, read the safety instructions and follow Other controls
them.
We continually strive to improve our products and to make
them more efficient through changes to their design. We re-
tain the right to do this without committing ourselves to intro-
duce these improvements on products, which have already Operating instructions
been delivered. We also retain the right to change data and
equipment, as well as instructions for service and other main-
tenance measures without prior notice.

Intended use
The basic machine is intended to be used under normal condi-
tions, that is, outdoors, above ground, at an elevation up to 1,500
metres (4920 ft) above sea level, off-road, for earthmoving opera-
tions, 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 environ-
ments, for example explosive atmosphere, flammable environ-
ment 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 Di-
rective 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 exceed-
ed, 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 con-
trol 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 V2-
ECU (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 sys-
tem with one circuit for each axle. Each circuit meets the require-
ments 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 win-
dow.
Presentation
7
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 charg-
ing takes place when steering and working hydraulics are used,
but when there is a greater demand, also the fan pump contrib-
utes.
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 Sus-
pension System (BSS), secondary steering, separate attachment
locking, automatic engine shutoff, electric servo lever control (V2-
ECU) and automatic greasing (standard on certain markets).
Modifications
Modifications of the machine including using non-approved attach-
ments, accessories, and spare parts may impact the machine's
condition and the machine's ability to function as intended and de-
signed. No modifications of any type may be performed without pri-
or 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 unauthor-
ised 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, includ-
ing 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 de-
scribed in a publication available from Volvo Construction
Equipment; or
The modification has been approved in writing by the Engineer-
ing Department of the relevant product line at Volvo Construc-
tion Equipment.

Customer Assistance
Volvo Construction Equipment wishes to help assure that the
Emission Control System Warranty is properly administered. In the
event that you do not receive the warranty service to which you be-
lieve you are entitled under the Emission Control System Warran-
ty, you should contact the nearest Volvo Construction Equipment
Regional office for assistance.
Presentation
The USA Federal Clean Air Act 21
Volvo recommends that the purchaser use the service program for
the non-road engine, known as Preventative Maintenance, includ-
ing the recommended engine emission control maintenance.
Fuel system
Fuel recommendations:
The fuel used must be clean, completely distilled, stable and non-
corrosive. 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 ºF (0 ºC), the use of lighter
distillate or higher cetane level fuel are recommended. (Final boil-
ing point max. 660 ºF (349 ºC) and cetane min. 45.).
To avoid excessive deposit formation and to minimize the emis-
sions 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 exceed-
ing 0.05 percent by weight.
Check for fuel leaks (while the engine is running at fast idle):
Visually check unions and hose connections.

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 mini-
mise, 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 condi-
tions, 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 ex-
isting circumstances.
Correctly adjusted operator seat increases operator comfort and
safety. Incorrectly adjusted seat may lead to injuries. The adjust-
ments 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 man-
ufacturer 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 au-
thorised by Volvo CE.
NOTE! Do not adjust the seat while the machine is moving.
For lubricating operator's seat, see page 196.

F Electrically heated (optional equipment)
When electric seat heating is turned on, a thermostat controls when heating is activated and deactivated. Heat-
ing is activated at 14 ±3 °C (5263 °F) and deactivated at 25 ±3 °C (7283 °F).
Air-suspended seat
The adjustments are carried out in the same way as for the me-
chanical seat, except for lumbar support and weight adjustments.
B Adjusting lumbar support
Using the buttons it is possible to fill and empty the upper and
lower lumbar supports separately as required.
D Adjusting for weight
By pressing the button marked + for filling and for emptying,
L66529A the seat suspension can be adjusted according to the relevant
operator weight.
D B
While sitting in the seat try to adjust so that the upward and
downward movement ranges are equally distributed. Should not
be used for adjusting height.
Seat belt
The seatbelt supplements the safety design of the cab, or the can-
opy, 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.
The seatbelt with associated parts must be inspected at regular
intervals. Replace the entire seatbelt immediately if it is worn,
has loose stitching, or if buckles or the seatbelt roller does not
work.
Replace the seatbelt if the machine has been involved in an ac-
cident where the belt has been subjected to high strain or load-
ing.
Changes to the belt or its mountings must never be made.
The seat belt is intended for one grown up person only.
Keep the belt rolled-up when not in use.
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.

Operating instructions
This chapter contains rules which must be followed to make work-
ing with the machine safe. However, these rules do not relieve the
operator from following laws or other national regulations for traffic
safety, industrial safety and labour welfare.
To avoid the risk of accidents, alertness, judgement and respect for
applicable safety regulations is a condition.
Running-in instructions
During the first 100 hours, the machine should be operated with
particularly great care. During the running-in period it is important
to check oil and fluid levels often.
Wheel bolts should be check-tightened after 8 hours operation,
see page 194.
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.
WARNING!
No unauthorized personnel shall be in the machine's work
area. Pay attention in all directions to avoid running over
other personnel or running in to objects. Do not touch con-
trol levers or switches when starting. Sound the horn
before using the machine.
The machine operator must operate the machine in such a way
that the risk of accidents is minimised both for the operator, oth-
er road users and persons present at the work site.
The machine operator must be thoroughly familiar with how to
operate and maintain the machine and should preferably un-
dergo required training on the machine.
The machine operator must follow the rules and recommenda-
tions given in the Operator's Manual, but also pay attention to
any statutory and national regulations or specific requirements
or risks that apply at the work site.
The machine operator must be thoroughly rested and must
never operate the machine under the influence of alcohol, med-
icine or other drugs.
The machine operator is responsible for the load of the ma-
chine both when travelling on public roads as well as when
working on site.
There must be no risk of the load falling off while operating.
Refuse to take a load which is an obvious safety risk.
Respect the rated load capacity of the machine. Note the effect
of varying distances to the centre of gravity and the effect of ad-
ditional units.
The machine operator must be in charge of the working area of
the machine.
The danger area around an operating machine Prevent persons from walking or standing under raised lifting
forms a circle with a radius of least 7 m (23 ft). arms, unless they have been made safe or supported.
Prevent persons from entering or remaining in the danger area,
i.e. the area around the machine and at least 7 m (23 ft) beyond
the maximum reach of the attachment. The operator may allow

Gear shifting 103
Gear shifting
Manual gear shifting
Select a suitable gear by turning the gear selector control to the
required gear position and then select travelling direction for-
ward or rearward.
1027043
Directional gear
WARNING!
The gear selector may never be moved to neutral when
operating downhill since this results in a complete loss of
engine braking capacity.
1027044
WARNING!
Never leave the machine with the selector in forward or
reverse while the engine is running there is a risk that the
machine may begin to move.
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 ac-
cording to position "H".
The best utilisation is obtained if the accelerator is not de-
pressed fully, as the difference in upshifting speed between the
different modes (L, M and H) will be distinct.
Results in lower fuel consumption and lower noise level.
Position H
The machine does not shift until higher engine and travelling
speeds have been reached.
Preferably used in cases where the machine changes gear
when operating uphill or when the rolling resistance is great.
Position AUT
The machine chooses APS-program according to the opera-
tor's operating method.
Mode 1023178
(service mode)
After starting gear shifting is done manually, see page 103.
The machine starts and operates in the selected gear position. Up-
shifts and downshifts on the move are controlled manually.

When the kick-down button is pressed, 1st gear will be en-
gaged if the travelling speed already is below 8 km/h (5.0 mph)
or if the speed drops below 8 km/h (5.0 mph) within 8 seconds
after the button was depressed.
When 1st gear has been engaged the buzzer will give off one
short pip.
1st gear will remain engaged unless the kick-down function
switch is actuated a second time or if the engine speed be-
comes extremely high (when the switch is actuated a second
time, 2nd gear will be engaged).
If the direction of travel is changed, the machine will start off in
2nd gear, provided automatic shifting is selected.
Steering
The machine has articulated frame steering, which is hydrostati-
cally controlled.

Braking
WARNING!
The transmission disengagement function must not be
used during transport operation.
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 sur-
faces.
Operating instructions
110 Braking
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 applica-
tion must be carried out:
Without wheels locking or skidding.
With the brakes applied as hard as possible and without letting
up the brake pedal during the test.
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.
Operating instructions
Stopping machine 111
Stopping machine
1 Lower the engine speed.
2 Apply the brakes and when the machine is stationary, move the
gear selector control to neutral.
3 Lower the attachment to the ground.
4 Apply the parking brake after the machine has come to a com-
plete standstill.
IMPORTANT! Run the engine at low idle for at least 30 sec-
onds before stopping it in order to safeguard the lubrication
and cooling of the turbocharger.
In case of encased (heat-insulated) type turbocharger and
manifold, it is important that the engine, after it has been
working hard, is allowed to run at low idling for at least two
minutes before it is turned off.
5 Turn the ignition switch key counter-clockwise so that the con-
trol lamps go out and the engine stops.
WARNING!
Always use the three-point method to climb in to or exit the
cab, that is, two hands and one foot or one hand and both
L64417A feet. Use available steps and handles. Always face the
machine when climbing up on or down from the machine.
Do not jump!
If the operator has to leave the cab with the engine running, care
has to be taken so that the steering wheel is not turned inadvert-
ently as the operator leaves the cab. This applies particularly if the
steering wheel is provided with a knob.

5 Turn off the current supply with the battery disconnect switch, if
the machine is to be left unattended for some time.
6 Make sure that there is enough anti-freeze in the cooling sys-
tem (see page 181) and in the washer fluid at temperatures be-
low 0 °C (32 °F).
7 Lock all covers, windows and the door.
Remember that the risk of theft and break-in can be minimised if
one:
removes the ignition key when the machine is left unattended.
locks doors and covers after the end of the working shift.
turns off the current with the battery disconnect switch and re-
moves the handle for the switch.
avoids parking the machine in places with high risk of theft,
break-ins and malicious damage.
removes all valuable items from the cab, e.g. mobile telephone,
computer, radio and bags.
chains the machine to an immobile object.
It is easier to identify stolen machines if PIN number or registration
number is etched onto the windows.
Long-term parking
The temperature may not be below -40 °C (-40 °F) or above
+70 °C (158 °F).
Check that the batteries are fully charged.
Carry out the measures as described above.
Wash the machine and touch up the paint finish to avoid rust-
ing.
Treat exposed parts with anti-rust agent, lubricate the machine
thoroughly and apply grease to unpainted surfaces like lifting
and tilting cylinders etc.
Fill the fuel tank and the hydraulic oil tank to the max. marks.
Cover the exhaust pipe (parking out-of-doors).
Remove the fuse for the voltage converter. Otherwise there is
a risk that the batteries will be discharged.
Check the tyre pressure and protect the tyres against strong
sunlight.
If only the front wheels have got stuck proceed in either of the fol-
lowing ways:
1 Lift the front wheels, supporting the machine on the bottom of
a flat bucket and reverse.
2 Steer to the right or to the left, press the bucket against the
ground, lift up the front wheels and steer the other way, raise
the bucket slightly and reverse.
3 Lift up the front wheels using the bucket. Manually fill the holes
under the wheels with branches, pieces of wood or similar and
reverse.
4 If the machine needs to be recovered, see page 114.
You must never engage the differential lock when one of the
wheels is slipping. Lower the engine speed until the wheel
has stopped. Then engage the differential lock.

Recovering/towing
WARNING!
If braking and steering functions are limited, the machine
may only be towed in an emergency, the shortest possible
distance, and under supervision of specially trained per-
sonnel. If possible, transport the machine on a trailer. To
release the parking brake, see mechanical release of park-
ing brake for each machine type.
Measures
If possible, the engine should be running to make the brakes
and steering operational.
If it is not possible to start the engine or for any other reason it
is not possible to build up pressure needed to release the park-
ing brake, it is possible to release it mechanically, see page
116.
NOTE! The coupling device on the counterweight or the eyes
on the rear frame inside the rear wheels must not be used
when recovering or towing.
Recovering
Use a towbar or other suitable means for pulling the machine to
a suitable place or trafficable road.
When recovering rearwards, use the eyes under the counter-
weight, which are intended for lashing the machine.
When recovering forwards, use the eyes by the front axle at-
tachment intended for lashing the machine.
To avoid oblique loading, pull the machine straight rearwards/
forwards. Try to distribute the load by connecting to both eyes.
Towing
Eyes under counterweight when towing and lash- The towing vehicle or machine must weigh at least as much as
ing the machine to be towed and must have sufficient engine pow-
er and braking capacity to pull and brake both machines on any
up or down hills.
Do not tow further than absolutely necessary as otherwise the
transmission may be damaged.
When towing further than 10 km (6 miles) or when towing at a
speed exceeding 10 km/h (6 mph), both the front and the rear
propeller shafts must be disconnected, see page 115, or, as an
alternative, the machine must be transported on a trailer.
Connect in a corresponding way as when recovering.
WARNING!
Before taking any steps in preparation for recovering or
towing, the parking brake must be applied and the wheels
blocked to prevent the machine from rolling. The greatest
care must be taken in connection with towing to avoid seri-
ous injury which at worst could be fatal.
WARNING!
Block the wheels to prevent accidental machine movement.
Releasing
Remove the three plugs according to figure. Oil will leak out.
Temporarily replace these with three bolts (M10 x 90 mm) and
washers (the bolts are included in the tool bag for the machine).
Tighten the bolts alternately until they bottom.
L46965
WARNING!
If the machine is left without having restored the parking
brake, this must be indicated by a label on the steering
wheel with the information that the parking brake has been
disabled. The machine must not be used until the parking
brake has been restored, which must be carried out at a
workshop authorised by Volvo CE

Using attachments adapted to the application means higher
productivity and lower fuel consumption and machine wear - at
the same time. Follow recommendations described in the sec-
tion.
Maintain correct air pressure in the tires
On page 231 there are recommendations for air pressure in
tires. Correct air pressure in the tires reduces fuel consumption
and machine wear.
Do not let the machine idle unnecessarily
However, follow recommendations for stopping the machine,
see page 111, to ensure the turbo's lubrication.
Plan the work site
Evaluate and plan your work area and its layout based on the
machines that are going to work there, to make work more
organized and effective. Keep the ground surface even and
free from large stones and other potential obstacles.
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.

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 ma-
chine 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.
Check that no water has penetrated into the transmission or ax-
les.
WARNING!
At very low temperatures, the machine's hydraulic system
will respond slowly. Be very careful before the system has
reached operating temperature to avoid any accidents.

Buckets
1 When the machine is used with a bucket, a working load of 50 %
of the tipping load for a fully steered machine is permissible.
Depending on application and/or machine size the manufacturer
often recommends a utilisation lower than 50%.
For information regarding weight, capacity, load, edge savers,
etc., see the Attachment Catalogue.
Bucket teeth, changing, see page 199.
2
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.
3 NOTE! Excavating or surface stripping must not be carried
out at high speed, if the bucket is tilted more than 15°, and a
fully tilted bucket must be avoided.
Choosing bucket
The choice of bucket is dependent on the condition of the ma-
terial (hard/loose), its density (heavy/light) and on the tipping
4 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 ma-
chine is weak and unstable and will not increase the productiv-
ity.
For guidance on the choice of bucket, see the Attachment Cata-
logue.

IMPORTANT! Check-tighten the bolted joints at the edge sav-
ers and segments to prescribed torque after approx. four
hours of operation. Thereafter check the torque now and

Operating techniques
Buckets 137
WARNING!
1003926 Pay attention - risk of falling materials. Falling materials
can cause serious accidents in case of careless operation.
Excavating
When excavating and surface stripping, start by angling the
bucket 23° downward.
Operate in 1st gear and at low engine speed. Gradually in-
crease the engine speed at the same time as you raise the
bucket slightly.
If the ground conditions are poor and the wheels tend to spin,
use the differential lock.
NOTE! You must never engage the differential lock when one
of the wheels is spinning. Let up the accelerator until the
wheel stops.
Rock loading
Correct engine speed is of great importance too high engine
speed causes wheel spin.
Drive into the material head on to avoid oblique stresses which
can harm the lifting arm system.
The edge of the bucket must find its way under and between
the stones, which means that you must watch the bucket care-
fully as it enters the material.
If a stone has become wedged, try a new angle of approach,
but avoid exerting pressure on the corner of the bucket.
Avoid driving up into the material, as there is then a great risk
of damage to the tyres by the sharp blasted pieces of rock. Also
remove stones that have fallen out of the bucket.
Dumping load
WARNING!
If visibility is limited by the load or the attachment, great
care must be taken. Walk around the machine before start-
ing 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 neces-
sary, 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.
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
bucket when operating forwards.
To finish off the levelling operation, keep the edge of the bucket
slightly downward and reverse while pressing the bucket lightly
against the ground.
If a dozer blade, snow plough or sweeper etc. is used, it may
advantageous to have the single-acting lifting function en-
gaged. This allows the attachment to follow any unevenness in
the ground by "floating". This means that steering ability and
traction power is maintained. The attachment returns to preset
position, see page 59.
Log grapples
(optional equipment)
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!
The clamping arm is operated with control lever (3) and coun-
terhold (optional equipment) with control lever (4), see page 74
and 76 (electric servo).
Check the hydraulic lines at regular intervals for leaks and vis-
ible damage.
Grease the bearings for the clamping arm and cylinder every
250 hours and every 50 hours in aggressive/corrosive condi-
tions. For grease quality, see page 217.
Always depressurize the hydraulic system before starting main-
tenance or repair work, and before disconnecting the attach-
ment.
Work on the hydraulic system may only be done by authorized
personnel.
A B C
L64526A
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 grap-
ples.
The recommended maximum loads apply for combinations of tim-
ber grapples and wheel loaders which are equipped with approved
counterweights for timber handling.
Any equipment added to the attachment reduces the rated operat-
ing load.
In countries outside the EU and EEA other safety requirements
may apply, therefore, always observe local regulations.

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.
High stack:
1 Begin as high as possible and tilt the grapple tines slightly for-
ward with the grapple fully open.
2 When the grapple is well into the stack, close it.
3 Follow through with the grapple so as to avoid logs falling down
under the grapple tines.
If logs fall between the grapple tines, carefully lower the load
to the ground, reverse and try to pick up the load again. Make
sure not to damage the logs.
A heel/kick-out makes it possible to stack the logs higher and to
keep the ground in front of the wheels of the machine clear of logs.
WARNING!
Long objects such as logs must be handled with extreme
care! Make sure that all persons are outside the machine's
work area.

Material handling arm (optional equipment) 151
Loading
Apply the load table to the actual extension of the material han-
dling arm.
Make sure that the pressure in the front tyres are according to
the recommendations, if the maximum permissible load is uti-
lised frequently.
Do not lift until you know:
where the load is to go.
that it can be placed there.
that the correct lifting device is used (wire, chain, etc.).
that the sling is connected to the load in a correct way.
that you have been given the signal to lift, if a signal man is as-
sisting.
NOTE! The material handling arm must not be used for a
heavier load than has been specified for the particular arm ex-
tension.
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.
WARNING!
A swinging load may lead to the machine rolling over. Note
that stability is affected when the machine turns.
Rotating attachments
Hydraulically powered, rotating

WARNING!
A machine with a hydraulically powered attachment must
be provided with an emergency stopping device inside the
cab. The stopping device turns off the power to the attach-
ment and stops its movement.
WARNING!
To avoid accidents, always find out from the manufacturer
what instructions for safe handling apply BEFORE you fit
and start using a hydraulically powered attachment.

154 Lifting objects
Lifting objects
WARNING!
Objects may only be lifted using purpose-built lifting
devices.
The lifting devices that are used shall be adapted to and ap-
proved for the machine on which they are used.
IMPORTANT! Do not use damaged, defective, or uncertified
lifting devices.
IMPORTANT! Different countries have their own regulations
with regards to using the machine for lifting, e.g., to lift free-
hanging loads. Contact an authorized Volvo CE dealer for
more information.
IMPORTANT! Follow the permitted nominal loads for the
machine in lifting and transport operations.
Stability
The stability of machines at work changes and is subject to great
variations.
For work to be done safely, the operator must keep in mind and
consider the special conditions at the time.
Standing the machine on a horizontal, stable and secure
surface is one prerequisite for high stability.
Watch out for soft, uneven, or sloping ground, as well as ground
where there is risk of landslides. Be very careful with loading
the machine sideways and in connection with other similar
high-risk work. If the machine stands on sloping ground, the
centre of gravity is displaced and the machine may end up in a
position where it rolls over.
Make sure that the ground surface is stable and secure.
Unstable ground, e.g. loose sand or wet earth can make work
unsafe.
Do not turn suddenly with a suspended load. Remember the
centrifugal force.
Operate the machine slowly and carefully.
Make sure that visibility is not reduced by big loads. If needed,
get help from a signal man.

If the operator's view is restricted because of, for example, an
obscuring load, a signal man must be used.
The faster lifting or lowering movements that are required or the
faster the machine should move, the more lively should the signal
man's movements be carried out. If two or more operators make
use of the same signal man, there should be an agreement before-
hand how the lift is to be carried out and how the signals are to be
given to the respective operator.

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 extin-
guisher is optional equipment and is available from your dealer. If
the machine is equipped with a fire extinguisher, it should be locat-
ed 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 designa-
tion ABE means that it can be used to put out fires in both solid or-
ganic 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, effi-
ciency class II at least 11 seconds, efficiency class III at least 15
seconds.
In general, a portable fire extinguisher ABE I corresponds to an ef-
fective content of 4 kg (8.8 lbs) (EN-class 13A89BC), standard EN
3-1995 part 1, 2, 4, and 5.
Fire prevention
It is forbidden to smoke or have an open flame near a machine
when filling with fuel or when the fuel system has been opened
and in contact with the surrounding air.
Diesel fuel is flammable and must not be used for cleaning. In-
stead use car care products intended for cleaning or degreas-
ing. 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.
NOTE! Be very careful when using a high-pressure washer for
cleaning since electrical components and cable insulation
may be damaged at relatively low pressure and temperature.
Protect electrical components and cables in an appropriate
way.
Take extra care when cleaning a machine that is used in a fire-
sensitive environment, e.g. sawmill and refuse dumps. The risk
of spontaneous combustion can be further reduced by, for ex-
ample, installing insulation on the muffler.
The fire extinguisher must be maintained so that it works when
it is needed.
Safety when servicing
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 flam-
mable liquids, e.g. tanks and hydraulic pipes. Exercise care
with such work in the proximity of such places. A fire extinguish-
er should be kept near to hand.
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.
WARNING!
Seals that have to tolerate high temperatures may be made
of fluor rubber (fluoro-carbon rubber). At very high temper-
atures, fluor rubber (fluoro-carbon rubber) may generate
compounds that are very corrosive to the skin and lungs.
Use suitable protective equipment.
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 sys-
tem.
Batteries
WARNING!
Handling of batteries may lead to electrolyte (battery acid)
coming into contact with eyes, skin, or clothes. Use suita-
ble 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.
WARNING!
Work in conditions with health-hazardous dust, e.g., asbes-
tos, may cause serious health problems. Special actions
must be taken to prevent spreading of dust. Contact a work-
shop authorised by Volvo CE for more information.
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 as-
bestos 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 operat-
ing.
The cab should be ventilated through its ventilation system,
which also provides excess pressure in the cab.
With regard to risks to health and environment, used filters
must be placed in the sealable plastic bag which is supplied to-
gether with new filters. The bag with the used filter should then
be deposited at a place authorised to take care of asbestos
waste.

Cooling system
Coolant
The cooling system is filled with Volvo Coolant VCS, which is in ac-
cordance with the highest requirements regarding anti-freeze,
anti-corrosion and anti-cavitation properties. To avoid damage to
the engine, is it very important that Volvo Coolant VCS is used
when topping up or when changing coolant.
Volvo Coolant VCS is yellow and a decal at the point of filling
shows that the system is filled with this coolant (see figure).
IMPORTANT! Volvo Coolant VCS must not be mixed with
another coolant or corrosion protection, as this may cause
engine damage.
11445056
1020820 If concentrated Volvo Coolant VCS and clean water (see page
218) is used, the table below shows the approximate amount of
concentrated coolant that is required to achieve freeze protection.
The amount of Volvo Coolant VCS must never be less than 40 %
of the total mixture.
When there is doubt as to the quality of the water, ready-mixed Vol-
vo Coolant VCS, which contains 40 % concentrated coolant, must
be used.
IMPORTANT! If the ready-mixed Volvo Coolant VCS is used,
it must not be mixed with any other ready-mixed coolants, as
this may cause damage to the engine.

WARNING!
Always remove the cell caps during rapid charging of the
batteries. When a battery is being charged an explosive
mixture of oxygen and hydrogen is formed. A short circuit,
an open flame or a spark in the neighbourhood of the bat-
tery can cause a powerful explosion. Always switch off the
charging current before the charging lead clips are discon-
L64558A nected. Ventilate well, especially if the battery is charged in
a confined space. The battery electrolyte contains corro-
sive sulphuric acid. Electrolyte spilled on bare skin must be
removed immediately. Wash with soap and plenty of water.

A B Cab
Cab, cleaning and changing ventilation
filter
The cab ventilation filters consist of prefilter and main filter. The
machine is often used in dusty conditions, and therefore it is deliv-
ered 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 accord-
ing to this classification, which also is recommended when chang-
ing. Contact your dealer for further information.
Clogging of the filters depends entirely on the machine's op-
1026286 erating conditions, but the filters should be checked once a
A Pre filter week.
B Main filter (inside the plastic casing) The main filter should be replaced every 2000 hours and the
prefilter every 1000 hours.
NOTE! The interval between filter replacements can be in-
creased or reduced depending on how dusty the working en-
vironment is.
NOTE! The cab filters are only intended to separate particles
(dust) from the air. Any dangerous gases are not trapped by
the filters.

Any work on the system requires great demands on cleanli-
ness. 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.

Service and maintenance
Lubrication 203
Lubrication
Bearings, greasing
The service life of bushings and pivot pins can be extended con-
siderably, 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.
Replace old grease that may contain dirt particles. The grease
in the space inside the outer seal collects dirt and prevents dirt
L63189A
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 nip-
ples.
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.

Lubrication points
Filling lubricant
Lubricant must be topped up before the level falls below the
minimum marking on the reservoir.
On the pump unit there is a filler connection (grease nipple) to
which a hand pump or an industrial pump are connected when fill-
ing.
NOTE! If and industrial pump is used, the filter between con-
nection and pump must be cleaned regularly. A partly blocked
filter can easily burst, with a consequent great risk of small
particles entering the lubrication system. This may in turn
lead to a breakdown in the lubrication system.
Proceed as follows:
1 Carefully clean the filler connection and the coupling on the fill-
er hose.
Filler connector 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 it-
self. 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 lu-
bricant 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.

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 re-
duce the lubrication effect with increased wear as a consequence.
Do not mix different types of lubricants. When changing, all lu-
bricant must be changed, not only in the reservoir.
There must be no additives of graphite or Teflon in the lubricant.
The use of molybdenum disulphide (MoS2) is only permitted if:
the lubricant is of a very high quality and does not contain
more than 5 % MoS2.
the lubrication system is regularly checked to provide reli-
able operation.
the main lines are flushed through at least once a year.
Recommended lubricants
System test
In order to check the function of the greasing system, or to initiate
an extra lubrication cycle after for example the machine has been
washed, a system test can be carried out. The test button, which
is used to begin a system test, is positioned at the front on the
pump.
A test cycle can only be carried out when the pump is between two
ordinary lubrication cycles (not during an ongoing lubrication cy-
cle).
Single test lubrication cycle
The pump only carries out one lubrication cycle via one main
line. May be used after a wash in order to obtain an extra lubri-
cation cycle.
1 Turn the ignition key to position 1 (running position).
2 Press in the test button for 26 s.
3 The lubrication cycle starts.
4 The test cycle is ended automatically.
Test button If the test lubrication cycle has been used to obtain an extra
lubrication cycle after a wash, the test button should be
pressed once more to lubricate the other main line.

Tyre sizes and air pressures 231
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 pres-
sure 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 dis-
tances.
Radial tyres are to be preferred for loading-carrying operations, as the build-up of heat is less in this type of
tyre.

Hand-arm vibrations
Emission of hand-arm vibration during real operating conditions at its intended use is less than 2.5 m/s2 RMS (root
mean square) acceleration according to ISO 8041.
Whole-body vibrations
Emission of Whole-Body Vibration during real operating conditions at its intended use is according to the table
below.

(m/s² RMS) (m/s² RMS) (m/s² RMS)
NOTE! These whole-body vibration emission values were determined at particular operating and terrain
conditions and is therefore not representative for all the various conditions in accordance with the intend-
ed use of the machine and should not alone be used to determine the whole-body vibration exposure to
the operator using the machine. For this purpose, the information in ISO/TR 25398 is recommended.
To ensure that the whole-body vibration emission during machine use is kept to a minimum, see page 126.
NOTE! Uncertainties in given noise values (e.g. uncertainty in production and measuring instruments) are
calculated in accordance with ISO 6395:2008 for the sound power level around the machine and ISO
6396:2008 for the sound pressure level at operator position.
