Technical Data

The following noise and vibration values according to the EC-directive for machines, edition (98/37/
EEC) and the noise emission regulation 2000/14/EC were measured at nominal engine speed and with
the vibration switched on. The machine was standing on an elastic base.

During operation these values may vary because of the existing operating conditions.

Noise value
The sound level according to enclosure 1, paragraph 1.7.4. f of the EC-machine regulation is

sound pressure level on the operator’s stand:

BW 125 ADH
LpA =79 dB(A)

BW 135 AD
LpA =83,5 dB(A)

BW 138 AD
LpA =86 dB(A)
The nose emission value for the machine according to the noise emission regulation 2000/14/EG is

guaranteed sound capacity level of the machine:

BW 125 ADH
LWA = 107 dB(A)

BW 135 AD
LWA = 107 dB(A)

BW 138 AD
LWA = 104 dB(A)
These sound values were determined according to ISO 3744 for the sound capacity level (LWA) and ISO
11204 for sound pressure level (LpA) at the place of the operator.

Vibration value
The vibration values according to enclosure 1, paragraph 3. 6. 3. a of the EC-machine regulation are:

Vibration of the entire boy (driver’s seat)


The weighted effective acceleration value determined according to ISO 7096 is <= 0.5 m/sec2.

Hand-arm vibration values


The weighted effective acceleration value determined according to EN 500/ISO is <= 2.5 m/sec2.

facturer of the anti-sticking agent. Observe appli-
cable environmental regulations.

Cleaning work
Do not clean the machine while the engine is run-
ning.
Do not use gasoline or other inflammable sub-
stances for cleaning.
When cleaning with steam cleaning equipment do
not subject electrical parts and insulation material
to the direct jet of water, or cover it beforehand.
Do not guide the water jet into the exhaust and into
the air filter.

After maintenance work


After completion of maintenance work reinstall all
guards and safety features.

Repair
Mark a defective machine by attaching a warning
tag to the steering wheel.
Repair work must only be performed by qualified
and authorized persons. Use our repair instruc-
tions for this work.
Exhaust gases are highly dangerous! Always en-
sure an adequate supply of fresh air when starting
in closed rooms!

Test
The safety of compaction equipment must be
checked by a specialist as required in dependence
on the application and the operating conditions,
however at least once every year.

! Danger
Danger of accident!
Wet and loose soils considerably reduce the
ground adhesion of the machine on inclina-

Soil conditions and weather influences impair
the gradability of the machine.
Do not drive on gradients exceeding the maxi-
mum gradability of the machine.
Before starting to drive make sure that the
drive range is absolutely safe.

Always give way to loaded transport vehicles!

!Caution
A wrong connection will cause severe damage
in the electric system.

chine.

nus pole of the current supplying battery and
then to engine or chassis ground, as far away
from the battery as possible (Fig. 34).

diesel fuel with a sulphur content below 0.5% and
ensure strict cleanliness when filling in. A higher
sulphur content has a negative effect on the oil

under low ambient temperatures. The fuel level
should always be topped up in due time so that the
fuel tank is never run dry, as otherwise filter and in-
jection lines need to be bled.
The following fuel specifications are permitted:

avoid clogging because of paraffin separation. At
very low temperatures disturbing paraffin separa-

The toothed belt must only be changed by a

Replace a toothed belt at the latest after 5
years, even if the number of operating hours
has not yet been reached.

i Note filter element.
Ensure equal pressure in all tires.
After cleaning the filter element must be in-
spected with a torch for damage.
Dry air filter elements with damaged filter ele-
ment or seal ring must be replaced in any case.
It is therefore recommended to keep at least
one filter element in stock.
The dry air filter element must be changed af-
ter 5 times cleaning, but at the latest after 1
year. Each cleaning interval must be marked
with a cross on the cover of the filter element.
Cleaning is useless if the air filter element is
covered with a sooty deposit. Use a new filter
cartridge.
Incorrectly handled inserts may be ineffective
because of damage (e.g. cracks) and cause
damage to the engine.

6.1 General notes

The following work must only be carried out by


qualified and trained personnel or by the
BOMAG sales service.

Please observe strictly the safety regulations


in chapter 2 of these operating and mainte-
nance instructions.
Malfunctions are frequently caused by incorrect
operation of the machine or insufficient mainte-
nance. Whenever a fault occurs you should there-
fore thoroughly read these instruction on correct
operation and maintenance. If you cannot locate
the cause of a fault or rectify it yourself by following
the trouble shooting chart, you should contact the
service departments at our branch offices or deal-
ers.
On the following pages you will find a selection of
fault remedies. It goes without saying that not all
possible reasons for faults could be listed.
