2.7.2 Fire prevention


Fires in any environment are extremely dangerous and can quickly get out
of control if not properly dealt with.
The following recommendations will help prevent the likelihood of a fire on
the machine:
• Always keep the machine and general area clean of flammable materials
such as fluids and lubricants, dirt and debris, and any material that could
cause or amplify fire. Clean all fuel or oil spills as quickly as possible.
• Report all electrical wiring and electrical component malfunctions to a
service personnel immediately.
• Ensure that the engine air intake, fuel and exhaust systems are
maintained properly.
• Inspect the machine regularly for hydraulic and oil leaks.
• Ensure that you are aware of and are familiar with all fire fighting
equipment on the machine. Also ensure that all fire fighting equipment is
inspected regularly and kept in working order. If the machine does not
have any fire fighting equipment, ensure that required fire fighting
equipment is available.
2.7.3 Fire retardant and flammable materials
The machine fire safety has been taken into consideration during product
engineering and manufacturing. When possible, fire retardant materials
have been chosen to improve fire safety. Examples of these measures and
material choices to prevent and control fires are the following:
• Cables used are in compliance with the IEC 60332-1 standard (Test on
electric and optical fibre cables under fire conditions).
• Surface materials of the hydraulic hoses, cable protective hoses and fire
suppression system (Ansul) hoses are MSHA approved and their inner
tubes are made of nitrile-rubber.
• Switchgears and slip ring unit are mainly made of metal.
• Fire area with fire wall has been made for the diesel engine.
• Roof panels in the cabin are made of fire retardant material.
• Cables in the engine compartment are inside a fireproof sleeve.
In spite of engineering and use of fire retardant materials, there are also
flammable materials in the machine e.g. inside switchgears, in valves,
plastic components, batteries and tires. Also oils, greases and paints used
in the machine are flammable materials. Keep the machine clean at all
times; dirt in the machine increases fire risk.
2.7.4 Fire extinguisher(s) (optional)
A fire extinguisher is an active fire protection device which is used to
extinguish or control small fires, often in emergency situations.

2.7.5 FS1000 Fire suppression system (optional)


The FS1000 fire suppression system is installed in the machine for fire
suppression. The system is a fixed foam fire suppression system. Due to
the water content in the foam extinguishing agent, this fire suppression
system is suitable for ambient temperature above 0 °C. The primary
function of the system is to protect the operator. It greatly reduces risk to
people and property by providing effective fire protection and, therefore,
safer operating conditions. The system has been specifically designed to
suppress hydrocarbon fuel oil fires by application of foam extinguishing
agent. The foam will cut the fire's oxygen supply off and act as a vapour
seal over the fuel. The foam's water content cools the area down, which
reduces risk of re-ignition.
The discharge circuit nozzles are arranged in the form of a ring. It consists
of fire rated hose with a series of nozzles aimed at the risk areas.
The system is empty when delivered to the customer and has to be made
operational before it can be used. See separate manufacturer's manual
attached to the Service & Repair Manual for more information.

2.8.3 Dust

DANGER
DUST HAZARD!
Breathing dust will cause death or severe injury.
Always wear approved respirator!

Breathing or inhaling dust particles will cause death or severe injury. Always
work with a respirator approved by the respirator manufacturer for the job
you are doing. It is essential that the respirator that you use protects you
from the tiny dust particles which cause silicosis and which may cause
other serious lung diseases. You should not use the product until you are
sure your respirator is working properly. This means the respirator must be
checked to make sure that it is clean, that its filter has been changed, and
to otherwise make sure the respirator will protect you in the way it is meant
to.
In any workplace where respirators are necessary to protect the health of
the employee, the employer must establish and implement a written
respiratory protection program with work site specific procedures and
elements including but not limited to the selection of respirators, proper
usage, maintenance and care, cleaning and disinfecting and training.
Regularly clean your working environment properly to minimize the dust
level in the air. Always make sure dust has been cleaned off your boots and
clothes when you leave your shift.
Respiratory silica dust is a hazard, which requires special attention. The
smallest particles of dust are the most harmful. They may be so fine that
you cannot see them. Remember, you must protect yourself from the
danger of breathing or inhaling dust.
2.8.4 Hazardous gases
In a workplace where hazardous gases are present, the employer must
monitor the air quality, define required actions to protect the employees and
provide protective equipment, such as respirators. The employer is
responsible for ensuring that the safety of employees is not compromised
due to hazardous gases in the environment.
A closed cabin with air conditioning system does not guarantee that the
cabin is free of harmful gases or particles. Wear an approved respirator.

2.8.5 Diesel particulate matter

DANGER
DIESEL EMISSION HAZARD!
Prolonged exposure to diesel emissions will cause death or severe
injury.
Only operate and maintain the equipment according to all applicable
instructions, procedures, laws and regulations.
Always wear approved personal protective equipment.

Diesel particulate matter (DPM) is a component of diesel exhaust (DE) that


includes soot particles made up primarily of carbon, ash, metallic abrasion
particles, sulfates and silicates. In a confined environment such as
underground or in a workshop, the diesel exhaust particles can not
disperse or be diluted as in an open atmosphere. Exposure to DE/DPM
causes severe long term health effects, in addition to short term effects
such as eye and respiratory irritation.
The end user of this equipment must take additional steps addition to those
provided on the equipment in order to mange this risk. These include, but
are not limited to:
a) Ensure disposable filters are fitted where the equipment is designed to
allow use of these.
b) Ensure ventilation volumes in the areas where this equipment is used
are above those required to maintain the operator exposure rate below
those specified by local regulations or company determined levels.
c) Vehicle movement tracking and control to match the number of vehicles
in a ventilation split the acceptable DPM exposure limit.
d) Implement a monitoring program for worker exposure to DPM
e) Use low emission fuels
f) Establish and maintain a fuel management program to ensure fuel
quality is as high as possible
g) Establish an engine testing program to determine when engine DPM
levels are excessive
h) Establish and maintain a preventive maintenance program to minimise
increased production of DPM by the engine

Responsibilities of the machine operating/maintaining personnel


To reduce your and your colleague's exposure to diesel exhaust, you as the
operator or maintainer must:
• Follow proper operating and driving practices. Keep the engine
revolutions as steady as possible; avoid unnecessary acceleration and
deceleration. Do not lug the engine down.
• Avoid unnecessary idling of the engine.

104 (298) Copyright © Sandvik


ID: BG00408868 en-US I.001.1 2017-06-07
Operator's Manual TH551

• If the equipment has a closed cabin, keep the windows closed during
operations. Keep the cabin clean and in good condition. Pay special
attention to the air conditioning unit and to it's filter as well as to the door
and window seals.
• Monitor the information provided by the control system as well as the
indicator lights. If any warning or alarms appear, take corrective action
immediately.
• Maintain the equipment according to the instructions, especially the
engine manufacturer's instructions.
• Follow any site specific procedures and guidelines relating to monitoring
emission levels and trends. Follow also any site specific instructions
relating to means of controlling exposure to diesel emissions.
• Wear approved PPE according to site requirements.

2.9 Emergency procedures


It is the employer’s responsibility to plan and prepare site specific
instructions to be followed in case of an emergency or an accident. The
machine manufacturer can also give certain general guidelines which can
be used as help in establishing the required procedures. The following
information should be considered when devising a site specific emergency
plan. This list is not meant to be comprehensive.
• Emergency stop: If the machine has to be stopped immediately, use the
emergency stop functions. Emergency stopping stops all the ongoing
functions excluding lowering suspension cylinders. For more information,
see the section, "Emergency stop function".
• Emergency exit: In an emergency situation, use the safest escape way
or emergency exit. Also rescue personnel can use these exits to reach a
user in the operator station. For more information, see the section,
"Emergency exit".
• Loss of stability: If there is sudden loss of stability during tramming, the
safest place for the user is usually inside operator station, seated on the
operator seat and seat belt fastened.
• Falling objects: In case of falling objects, the operator should stay inside
operator station until it is safe to leave the machine. The operator may
also, when possible, move the machine away from the hazard zone,
without leaving the operator station.
• Fire: In mining conditions, it is extremely important to avoid fires. If an
accident does happen and there is a fire, it has to be extinguished as
soon as possible. For more information, see the section, "Fire risk control
measures".
• Accidents with chemicals: In an emergency situation or accident where
chemicals are involved, see the required first aid measures and
instructions in the material safety data sheets.
• Electric accidents: If the machine touches an electric power line, the
following instructions may prevent injuries or death.

Operator's Manual TH551

- If you are standing outside the machine, do not touch any part of the
machine or try to get onto the machine. Keep everybody away from
the machine.
- If you are on the machine, do not try to get off it. If the machine is
touching a power line, the machine can catch on fire. If the machine
has rubber tires, leave the machine as soon as the tires start
smoking. JUMP OUT! Do not make yourself a conductor for the
electric current to flow from the machine to the ground. Move away
from the machine by jumping, or by leaping so that only one foot at a
time touches the ground. The electric field in the ground can cause a
dangerously high voltage between your legs. You will not be in safety
until you are about 20 meters away from the machine.
- If some component of the machine touches an electric power line,
the whole machine becomes live. Although the insulating rubber tires
may make the situation seem safe, a person standing on the ground
and touching the machine can get a fatal electric shock. Machine
needs to be isolated at least for 24 hours before taking any actions to
the machine.
- If you come to a place where an electric accident has taken place, do
not risk your own life by acting incautiously to save others. Try to find
out whether a high or a low voltage is involved. Where high voltage is
involved, do not start any rescuing attempts until the power company
has cut off the voltage. It can be dangerous even to approach a
person in contact with the electric conductor, or with the machine that
touches the conductor. Remember that high voltage power lines
have no fuses that blow; the conductors are always dangerous, until
a qualified electrician has made them dead.
- If a person is in contact with a low voltage line or with a machine that
is touching a low voltage line, rescuing can be attempted by using a
dry and clean rope, or a dry and unpainted piece of wood. Anyone
who is attempting the rescue must keep as far away from the victim
as possible. The victim must not be touched until he is completely
disconnected from the live components. If the victim is unconscious,
first aid measures must be started immediately.
After an accident or emergency situation: Being on site where an
incident has occurred, do not take any actions with the equipment involved.
Do not speculate or give opinions on the cause. Contact your Sandvik
representative to get more information.

2.10.7 Tire maintenance

Working with inflated tires and multi-piece wheel rims


Due to the high inflation pressures applied to multi-piece wheel rims, tire
and wheel rim assemblies house enormous amounts of energy. If this
energy is handled improperly, the tire and wheel rim assemblies have the
potential to explode or release air suddenly, possibly causing death or
severe personal injury to those in the area. By reading this section
thoroughly and following your local mine site standards, the risk of this
danger occurring can be reduced.

DANGER
EXPLOSION AND FLYING MATERIAL HAZARD!
During handling the full pressurized tire may burst and will cause
severe injury or material damage.
A broken rim part under pressure can fly apart and will cause severe
injury.
Tire inflation must always be done inside a tire cage. Do not stand in
front of the wheel during tire inflation. Use an extension hose, so
that you are able to stand to one side.
Never remove, move or store a tire that is inflated to full
pressurization.

When excess pressure is applied to a tire, it has the potential to explode or


release air suddenly out from its sides. It is important for all persons in the
area of tires to stand outside the area of trajectory.

ID: BG00408868 en-US I.001.1 2017-06-07
Operator's Manual TH551

Safe maintenance procedures


Each person involved in servicing the wheel rim assemblies should be
familiar with the following before any maintenance is performed:
1. Always deflate the tire and then remove its valve core before removing
the wheel rim assembly from the axle.
2. Always apply rubber lubricant to the bead and rim mating surfaces during
assembly of the tire and rim, unless explicitly stated otherwise by the tire
manufacturer.
3. Always de-mount tires from the wheel rims before repairs are made to
the rims.
4. Always inflate tires using a restraining device and remote inflation
equipment. Tires should only be inflated outside of the restraining device
if:
• The rim is mounted to the vehicle and the tire is already inflated more
than 80% (as recommended in the "Tire and Rim Safety Awareness
Program" document published by the Mine Safety and Health
Administration in 1996).
• Inflation is required to hold the tire bead onto the rim ledge and
create an airtight seal with the tire and bead.
5. After inflation, always inspect the tire and rim assembly while it is in the
restraining device to ensure it is properly seated and locked. If
adjustments are necessary, deflate the tire before the adjustments are
made.
6. Never install a tube in a tubeless tire.
7. Never weld or cut in the proximity of inflated tires.
8. Never allow equipment or any part of your body to rest or lean against
the restraining device during tire inflation.
9. Never hammer, strike, or force the lock ring into the correct seating while
the tire is pressurized.
10. Never rework, weld, braze, or otherwise heat any cracked, broken, or
damaged wheel rim component.
11. Never apply heat to a multi-piece wheel rim.
12. Never stand or allow others to stand in the area of trajectory of a multi-
piece rim assembly unless the purpose of which can be proven to be
absolutely necessary.
13. Never inflate the tire until the entire lock ring is fully seated in the rim
assembly.
14. Never mismatch wheel rim components. All wheel rim components
should be the same size, type, and from the same manufacturer.
15. Never re-inflate a flat tire without first inspecting the entire wheel rim
assembly for unsafe conditions.

Recommended tools
• Air pressure gauge with filter
• Inflation tool (clip-on chuck, hose, and in-line valve or preset regulator)
• Air compressor
• Valve core removers and reamers
• Spare valve caps
• Valve cap wrenches
• Tire restraining device or other suitable restraining device
Note! Release a small amount of air from the inflation valve before
applying the air gauge. This will prevent air from clogging the gauge
assembly.

Note! All pressure gauges should be tested against a master gauge.

Note! Do not use steel hammers on rim assemblies. Use only rubber, lead,
plastic, or brass head hammers so as not to damage rim
components.

Tire handling recommendations

DANGER
HANGING LOAD HAZARD!
Accidental falling of a hanging load on people will cause death or
severe injury.
Never stand under or near a hanging load. Always use a suitable
lifting device with adequate lifting capacity.

1. Always use a suitable lifting device capable of supporting the weight of


the tire.
2. Always use flat straps when lifting tires. Do not lift tires directly with a
crane hook.
3. When using a forklift, lift the tire with the forks underneath the tread. Do
not lift the tire from the bead.
4. When available, use specialized tire handling equipment.
• When using special equipment, be careful not to hold the tire too
tightly. This will distort the shape of the tire.
5. If supplied, leave bead protectors in place until the tire is to be mounted
to a rim.

2.11.2 Dismantling

WARNING
SPECIAL SKILLS REQUIRED!
Incorrect dismantling procedures could cause death or severe injury.
Dismantling shall only be done by persons with professional
knowledge and training.

When the product has reached the end of its life-cycle, it has to be
disposed of in a proper way. The end user of the product is responsible for
the product disposal. If the end user does not have the ability or the
resources to disassemble and dispose of the product, the work must be
performed by someone who does possess the necessary knowledge and
skills.
When dismantling the product, the following shall be considered:
• There are certain tasks which require special professional skills to ensure
the work is done in a safe and proper manner. Follow the local
regulations and guidelines set by your employer and the authorities.
• Carry out the work in a well ventilated space in a safe area that will not
be a traffic hazard for other machinery or personnel.
• Use appropriate personal protective equipment.
• Prior to beginning, ensure there are proper waste collection and recycling
points for spare parts and materials. Fluids and chemicals shall be
handled, separated and stored in compliance with all local, state and
federal rules and regulations.
• Note that during dismantling some special tools are needed. These can
be e.g., equipment for draining refrigerant, cutting torches, welding or
similar equipment, lifting gear, stands, crowbars, adjustable wrenches,
hammers, screw drivers etc. Ensure that correctly rated lifting equipment
is used to disassemble heavy components.
• Clean the machine before dismantling for better visibility and empty out
all loose parts from the cabin.
• Keep equipment for fire extinguishing, first aid and eye-washing closely
available.
• Before any dismantling operations, prevent accidental start-up of the
machine and make sure that the machine will not move.
• Note that there can be stored energy in various forms in the machine;
follow the procedures for isolation and energy dissipation. Ensure that all
energy sources are isolated and depressurized.
Before the actual disassembly of the machine, drainage must be
completed. Drainage means the removal of chemicals, fluids and materials
that are harmful to the environment. When carrying out the drainage
operations, avoid spilling fluids and liquids on the ground. Use a sink or a
container to avoid leakage. Any oil that is spilled onto the ground, including
biodegradable oil, must be collected as quickly andas carefully as possible.

2.11.3 Disposal
This section gives useful advice to identify which parts of the product are
recoverable, with a view to recycling or reusing the materials or
components for new applications. To ensure environmentally sound
treatment of a product and all of its components, the recovery issues are
already taken into account during the design phase of the product. Correct
handling of waste materials reduces costs and promotes the best use of the
components and materials.
• Machine body: All the steel constructions and the copper and aluminum
in the electrical wiring are recyclable. The metals can be melted and
used as raw material for new products, except for parts that have been in
contact with substances that are regarded as hazardous waste. The
contaminated parts can usually be simply cleaned or rinsed, after which
they can be recycled.
• Plastic: Most plastic parts are recyclable, similarly to the metals. Each
plastic part carries information on the material used and a manufacturing
date, which can be used for determining whether the part can be
recycled.
• Rubber parts and tires: Tires can be recycled, and used as recovered
material. Worn-out tires can be returned to the dealer from whom they
were originally bought. Rubber tubes and hoses must be cleaned before
they are disposed of.
• Glass: Glass can be recycled, as well as laminated glass such as
windshields and windows. Various types of glasses shall be sorted
according to local rules and regulations.
• Electrical and electronic waste: Electrical and electronic components
contain valuable and recyclable materials, and in addition a set of
chemicals and heavy metals. Electrical components that are classified as
hazardous waste (accumulators, batteries, circuit boards) and other
hazardous waste must be delivered to a licensed waste treatment
location or be disposed of according to local regulations. Never dump
hazardous electrical or electronic waste.
• Gas discharge / xenon lamps: Gas discharge lamps contain mercury
and are hazardous waste. They must not be dumped. Lamps must be
taken care of by an authorized hazardous waste disposal company.
• Air conditioning units: Air conditioning units, which contain CFC and
HCFC compounds, must always be delivered for treatment to a licensed
waste disposal facility.

Operator's Manual TH551

• Batteries: Batteries are classified as environmentally hazardous material


and require special handling and storing in accordance with applicable
ordinances, rules and regulations. Batteries can cause serious harm to
the ecosystem; lead in the batteries is highly toxic and it accumulates in
the body over time. The disposal shall be taken care of by an authorized
waste disposal company. According to producer responsibility, producers
of batteries and accumulators are also responsible to accomplish the
waste management of batteries that they have placed on the market.
Batteries also contain diluted sulphuric acid. The acid is extremely
corrosive and it burns skin, eats holes in clothing, and can cause
blindness if it gets in the eyes. If you get battery acid on your skin, or
clothes, rinse them immediately with water. Use sodium bicarbonate to
neutralize the acid. If it gets in the eyes, flush the eyes with water, and
call a doctor.
• Oils and fluids: Oil waste must not be disposed of by burning, and
under no circumstances must oil be poured down the drain or into water
systems. Waste oil shall be collected in appropriate containers. The best
containers for collecting oil waste are the original containers for the oils.
The original containers already have the necessary warning labels, are
easy to close, and can be moved around fairly easily. Always strike out
the product name on the label and clearly label the container "oil waste".
Empty oil containers must not be dumped in landfills without having been
cleaned. Cleaned plastic containers can be disposed of as regular waste.
Most countries have arranged a recycling system for metal barrels.
Greases, fuels, solvents, and other substances must not be mixed with
oil waste.
• Solid waste containing oil: Oil filters, oil rags, fuel filters, and oil
absorbents must be collected in a separate container.
• Solvents and oil trap sludge: Solvents and sludge that has collected on
the surface of the oil traps can both be collected in a same container. The
surface layer in the oil traps must be removed regularly, and the entire
trap must be drained at least once a year, including the sludge at the
bottom. Do not mix the oil trap sludge with oil waste.
• Fuel oil: Fuel oil is hazardous waste that must in all cases be processed
by an authorized waste treatment plant.
• Radiator, brake, and clutch fluids: Used radiator, brake, and clutch
fluids contain traces of heavy metals, zinc, and copper, for which reason
they must not be poured down the drain or mixed with oil waste. They are
to be collected in a separate, labeled container and delivered to the same
plants as the oil waste.

2.12 Potential product related hazards identified by the user


Sandvik has taken all necessary precautions to design a safe machine. If,
in spite of these efforts, you observe a hazard for which you believe there
are insufficient safety measures, immediately inform your supervisor. If
necessary, also inform the other employees working with the product.
Report the hazard to your local Sandvik representative. Do not perform a
task if you are unable to perform the task in a safe manner.

3.1 Recommended operating conditions


Because the dump truck is intended to operate in underground mining
conditions, its engine, transmission and hydraulic systems are filled with
oils suitable for typical conditions. However, in cold conditions oils may
thicken. This makes starting difficult and the torque converter and hydraulic
pumps may be damaged. For this reason, avoid any temporary parking in
frosty weather. If the machine is to work in very cold or very hot conditions,
see the Maintenance Manual and Engine manufacturer’s Instruction
Manual for the correct oils and the proper fuel selection.

Alarm and notice lights and display pop-up windows

1. Notice light yellow & 2. Alarm light red


These indicator lights indicate the state of the machine. Notice and alarm
lights are there to inform if any of the signals or measuring operations are in
notice or alarm conditions or if any kind of action is necessary. Whenever a
red or yellow indicator light is lit or whenever an alert window appears on
the display, an abnormal functioning of the machine or control system will
ensue. There is one exception: alarm light test can be run by turning the
ignition key to I-position which makes the indicator lights switch on for three
seconds, both lights must then go out.

3. Pop-up windows
The pop-up windows use big signs to indicate the reason for the alert, the
alert limit and the measured reading. Alerts from the engine control unit
also are shown with the pop-up windows on the display.
A pop-up window will appear on the display when a notice or an alarm
condition is active and it will remain on the display until the operator
removes it. After setting off the pop up window the indicator light will stay on
for as long as the notice or the alarm is active. If the notice or the alarm
stops before the pop up window is set off, the pop up window will disappear
from the display automatically in a few seconds. It is only possible to view a
reset warning or alarm by first turning the main power off and then back on.
An active notice is indicated by an alarm bell in the main window and yellow
notice light. An active alarm is indicated by a ringing alarm bell and red
alarm light:

lamp lighting up constantly. Pre-alarm remains activated until the pressure
falls below the threshold again.
Note! If pre-alarm is triggered, you should arrange for a filter service as
soon as possible.

"Main alarm" indicator lamp flashes


Main alarm is activated if the upper alarm threshold for the exhaust
backpressure is exceeded for longer than 5 seconds. Main alarm cannot be
deactivated automatically.
Note! If main alarm is triggered, a filter service must be carried out
immediately.

Main alarm can be deactivated as soon as the exhaust backpressure drops


below the upper alarm threshold. This is done by pressing and holding the
"Ok" button for approximately 5 seconds, and the acknowledgement is
stored in chronological order in the fault memory. Pre-alarm remains
indicated by red indicator lamp as long as the lower alarm threshold
remains exceeded.
To return to the main menu, press the "Menu" button. This is acknowledged
by all three buttons flashing.
"Exhaust temperature window" yellow indicator lamp lit constantly
Constant illumination of the yellow indicator lamp indicates that the
temperature profile is not within the optimum range. The diesel particulate
filter can be "overload". To prevent this overloading of the particulate filter,
the engine must be run in the required temperature range (see the Diesel
Particulate System Operator's Manual).

Fault memory
If the HJS Service Unit registers one or more faults or indications, it
displays them in the form of numerical codes. These codes can be
displayed as plain text by pressing the "Ok" button. Further information on
the numerical codes can be found in the detailed fault list.
The right and the left pushbuttons can be used to display the faults as plain
text messages. Quit the menu by pressing "Back" button.
If no communication takes place between the HJS ServiceCheck display
module and the HJS ECU for approximately 5 seconds, a message is
displayed on the ServiceCheck module.

Brake and accelerator

1 2

The Brake pedal (1) is foot operated and is used to stop the dump truck.
Pressing the pedal applies the brakes and stops the vehicle. The brakes
will be released by removing your foot off the pedal.
Note! Transmission does not engage a gear, if the brake pedal is fully
pressed. For more detailed braking explanation, see section "Braking".
The Accelerator pedal (2) is also foot operated and is used to control the
engine or vehicle speed. Pressing the pedal increases, and removing your
foot off the pedal decreases the engine or vehicle speed. With certain
predefined engine speeds and according to selected range, the
transmission will upshift or downshift to another gear depending on
corresponding parameters increasing or decreasing the vehicle speed.

Box control lever

The box is controlled with the box control lever located at the right-hand
side in the dashboard. Turning the control lever upwards lifts the box and
turning the lever downward lowers the box.
The buzzer gives an audible signal when the box is in the up position (box
is not lowered on the stoppers).

Ejector box control lever (option)

When the ejector box is installed, the tailgate and the ejector blade are
operated with the dump box control lever.

Emptying the ejector box


To empty the ejector box, push and hold the box control lever in backward
position.
When the tailgate is fully open, the ejector blade starts to move towards the
tailgate and empties the box.
The movement stops if the operator releases the box control lever at any
time of the emptying process.

Return mode for the ejector box


Manual or Automatic return mode for the ejector box can be chosen from
the VCM. In both modes the tailgate has to be fully closed before the
ejector blade starts to retract.
Manual mode
The operator has to hold the box control lever in forward position during the
whole return process.
The movement stops if the operator releases the box control lever.
Automatic mode
To start the return process the operator pushes the box control lever
forward once and then releases it.
If the operator wants to stop the return process, he pushes the box control
lever backwards once and the movement stops.
Note! The automatic mode only functions when the cabin door is closed.

Gear limitation during emptying the ejector box


Only Parking, Neutral and 1st gear forward and reverse can be used when
the tailgate is open.
When the tailgate is closed, all gears are available, even if the ejector blade
is still retracting.

Gear range selector

WARNING!
If the machine starts to move without the operator, it could cause
death, severe injury or property damage.
Whenever it becomes necessary to leave the vehicle, even
momentarily, while engine is running, place the transmission shift
selector in N (Neutral), set the parking brake and block the wheels.

Note! Completely stop the vehicle before shifting from forward to reverse,
or from reverse to forward!

Gear range selector

The lever shift selector is an electro-mechanical control. The typical lever


positions provided are R (Reverse), N (Neutral), D (Drive) and some
number of lower forward range positions. This application has been
programmed to have six forward and two reverse ranges. The shift selector
positions provided should agree with the programming of the transmission
electronic control unit. The lever selector contains a hold override button, a
MODE button, a digital display, and a display mode button.

ID: BG00408868 en-US I.001.1 2017-06-07
Operator's Manual TH551

A, HOLD Override Button


The lever shift selector has 3 locked positions to prevent accidentally
selecting R (Reverse), N (Neutral) or D (Drive). Select R N, or D by
pressing the hold override button and moving the lever to the desired
position. Once D (Drive) is selected, lower forward range positions may be
selected without pressing the hold override button.

B, MODE button
The MODE button may allow the driver to enable a secondary shift
schedule or other special function that has been previously programmed
into the electronic control unit. This particular application has a shift
schedule for empty and cold driving, when the shifting occurs with lower
revolutions. The MODE button can also be used to view diagnostic code
information. After viewing the first diagnostic code which appears in the
digital display, press the MODE button to view the 2nd diagnostic code
logged. Repeat this procedure to view 3rd, 4th and 5th code positions.
In case secondary mode is activated transmission program limits the
ranges following:
• Position D: ranges 3 to 6 are attainable
• Position 5: ranges 3 to 5 are attainable
• Position 4: ranges 3 to 4 are attainable
• Position 3: range 3 is holded
• Position 2: range 2 is holded
• Position 1: range 1 is holded

C, MODE Indicator
The diagnostic code displayed is active when the MODE INDICATOR is
illuminated.

D, Digital Display
Display shows the corresponding selected range, whenever the lever is
moved. During normal operation, when D (Drive) is selected, the digital
display shows the highest forward range attainable for the shift schedule in
use. Abnormal operation is also indicated by the digital display (e.g. All
Segments On, Blank Display, Cat-Eye). Conditions which illuminate the
CHECK TRANS light will disable the shift selector and the digital display
will show the range actually attained. The transmission will not shift into
range if a CHECK TRANS code is active. When the display shows either R
or D has been requested and the display is flashing, the requested range
has not been achieved due to an inhibit function. Some inhibit functions are
vehicle-related and will not result in diagnostic codes.

E, Display Mode Button


Allows access to diagnostic code information.

Note! The gear indicator in control systems display is not same as Allison
digital gear display. Control system display only shows the gear that is
currently engaged.
For more detailed information look Allison Operator’s Manual.

Position R
Use this to reverse the vehicle. Completely stop vehicle before shifting from
forward to Reverse or from Reverse to forward. The reverse warning signal
and reverse lights are activated, and the digital display will display R when
Reverse is selected. Reverse has two ranges.

Position N
Use this position when you start the engine. If the engine starts in any other
position, the neutral start switch is malfunctioning. Neutral position is also
used during stationary operation (loading, dumping etc.) Do not allow your
vehicle to coast in neutral. This practice can result in severe transmission
damage. The digital display will show N when Neutral is selected. Always
select N (Neutral) before turning off the vehicle engine.

Position D
The transmission will initially attain first range when D (Drive) is selected
(except for those units programmed to start in second range). As vehicle
speed increases, the transmission will upshift automatically through each
range. As the vehicle slows, the transmission will downshift automatically.
The digital display will show the highest range available in D (Drive). The
highest possible speed to achieve in this application is restricted to 40
km/h.
Optional setup:
• When box load less than 20 tons the 3rd gear set as the lowest gear
• When box load over 20 tons all gears available
• In case MODE button activated the 3rd gear set as the lowest gear (load
information ignored)

Position 5
Occasionally, road conditions, load or site traffic conditions will make it
desirable to restrict automatic shifting to a lower range. The vehicle will
start in first range. As the accelerator is depressed, the transmission will
upshift to second, third, fourth, and fifth ranges automatically. As the vehicle
slows, the transmission will downshift to the correct range automatically.
Optional setup:
• When box load less than 20 tons the 3rd range set as the lowest
attainable
• When box load over 20 tons ranges 1-5 attainable

Copyright © Sandvik 143 (298)


ID: BG00408868 en-US I.001.1 2017-06-07
Operator's Manual TH551

• In case MODE button activated the 3rd range set as the lowest attainable
(load information ignored)

Position 4
Highest possible range when selected. As the vehicle slows, the
transmission will downshift to the correct range automatically and vice
versa.
Optional setup:
• When box load less than 20 tons the 3rd range set as the lowest
attainable
• When box load over 20 tons ranges 1-4 attainable
• In case MODE button activated the 3rd range set as the lowest attainable
(load information ignored)

Position 3
Automatic shifting to a lower range. When conditions improve, return the
shift selector to the normal driving position. These positions also provide
progressively greater engine braking effect (the lower the range the greater
the braking effect).
Optional setup:
• When box load less than 20 tons the 3rd range is held
• When box load over 20 tons ranges 1-3 attainable
• In case MODE button activated the 3rd range is held

Position 2
This is second range - use this when pulling through mud or driving up
grades.
Optional setup:
• When box load less than 20 tons the 2nd range is held
• When box load over 20 tons ranges 1-2 attainable
• In case MODE button activated the 2nd range is held

Position 1
This is first (low) range hold. No upshift will occur when the shift selector is
in this position. This position provides the greatest tractive advantage. It
also provides maximum engine braking effect. Use this range when
maneuvering in tight spaces, while driving up or down steep grades, or
when maximum output power is required.

Reacting to notices and alarms


If the machine control system detects an important event, the system
generates a notice or an alarm. These can be caused by, for example, high
temperatures or pressure, broken cables or short-circuits in the electrical
system.
If a notice or an alarm is displayed, proceed as follows:
1. Check the severity.
• Yellow notices may not require immediate actions, but you should
investigate the reason especially for repeated notices.
• Red alarms require your immediate attention: stop working
immediately and correct the error situation.
2. Follow possible on-screen instructions or go to the Log to read more
about the cause of the alert and possible troubleshooting instructions.
3. Correct the error situation.

Alert symbols
The following symbols are used to present notices and alarms:

No active notices or alarms.

One or more active notices. Notices are medium level alerts that
do not require your immediate attention or block the use of the
machine. However, you should check the reason for the alert, es-
pecially if the alert persists.
One or more active alarms. Alarms require your immediate atten-
tion. Stop using the machine, check the reason for the alert and
correct the situation.
The emergency stop has been pressed and the machine has
stopped. You can continue working only after all emergency stops
have been released and safety ensured.
The operation of the function you are trying to use is blocked. The
blocked state is resolved automatically after the cause of the er-
ror is removed.

The alerts are shown on the right side of the indicator bar at the top of the
screen. The symbol indicates the severity of the alert. The following
example presents an active alarm.

Log
Log allows you to view current and history data (such as problem duration,
frequency and measurement value and associated limit value) about alerts
during the use of the machine. This information helps you to assess the
seriousness of the error and to decide actions needed for correcting the
problem, such as ordering service for the machine.

Press to access Log.


Alerts are listed in chronological order with most recent alerts shown on
top. The New tab lists active alerts and expired alerts that have not been
previously displayed.

Browse the alert list to view additional information on the alert. Date and
time define when the alert situation started. The counter tells you how many
times the alert has occurred, which helps to evaluate the seriousness of the
alert: high frequency calls for further inspection of the alert cause. Alert
code is a reference number that can be used for finding alert information
from the machine operator manual.

For more information, open alert details by pressing . Alert details

3.8.2 Circuit breakers descriptions and values


Circuit breakers in instrument panel and boxes X2021, and X2056 protect
electric items in the case of overload or short circuit. Circuit breakers
cannot be held in the ON position against overload by force. If circuit
breaker, after it has triggered, cannot be switched to ON position again, the
triggering is probably caused by overload. If the circuit breaker trips again
immediately when trying to close it, a complete short-circuit or earth
connection can be assumed. Do not try continuously re-close circuit
breaker if there is an existing short circuit, earth fault, or fault in wiring or
some component. In that case the electrical wiring and components must
be examined. Triggering of the circuit breaker can be caused also, for
example, temporary and/or transient disturbance in electricity distribution.
In that case, the circuit breaker is reset and the situation monitored in order
to determine whether the disturbance is recurring. Circuit breaker blown
gives separate alert in the display.
Circuit breakers F2035, F2060 and F2064 in box X2056 have a push button
that pops up when the circuit breaker is triggered. After clarification of the
fault situation, the circuit breaker can be reset by pushing the button back
down. These circuit breakers have also dual button manual release. Other
circuit breakers in instrument panel and boxes X2021, and X2056 are
switched on by switching the operating lever into the upper position (with
respect to the text block of the nameplate). After clarification of the fault
situation, the circuit breaker can be reset by turning the lever back to the
correct position.

4. Select the desired range.


• With the position of the lever shift selector you can determine
appropriate direction and range.
• The machine has six forward range, automatic forward drive (D),
neutral (N) for stationary operation and two range for reversing (R).
• Note! Transmission does not engage a gear from Neutral position, if
the parking brake is applied, or the brake pedal is fully pressed.
• Note! If the gear is not selected during 3 seconds after parking brake
has been released, the parking brake will engage again
automatically.
• 1 - Use this range e.g. while driving up or down steep grades, or when
maximum output power is required.
• 2 - 5 - Use these ranges, when road conditions, load, or site traffic
conditions will make it desirable to restrict automatic shifting to a lower
range.
- Lower ranges provide greater engine braking for going down
grades (the lower the range, the greater the braking effect).
• N - is a Neutral range. Use Neutral when starting the engine, to check
vehicle accessories, and for extended periods of engine idle operation.
Always select N when you have stopped the vehicle as well as before
turning off the engine.
• D - is an automatic forward Drive. Transmission upshifts automatically
through each range when speed increases and vice versa as the
vehicle slows, the transmission will downshift automatically. When D is
selected, the digital display shows the highest forward range attainable
for the shift schedule in use.
- When box load less than 20 tons the ranges 3rd to 6th are
attainable
- When box load over 20 tons all ranges are attainable
- In case MODE button is activated the ranges 3rd to 6th are
attainable (load information ignored)
• In case secondary mode is activated transmission program limits the
ranges following:
- Position D: ranges 3 to 6 are attainable
- Position 5: ranges 3 to 5 are attainable
- Position 4: ranges 3 to 4 are attainable
- Position 3: range 3 is holded
- Position 2: range 2 is holded
- Position 1: range 1 is holded
R1, R2 - are a Reverse ranges. Completely stop the vehicle before
connecting Reverse.

5. Release the service brakes (1) and press the accelerator (2) evenly so
the machine begins to move.

3 1 2

If you just downshift or just use service brakes when going downhill,
you can lose control and cause injury and property damage. To help
avoid loss of control, use a combination of downshifting, braking
and retarding. Selecting a lower range increases engine braking and
helps you to maintain control.

Downhill driving

1. Select a gear which allows you to drive without unnecessary braking.


• Do not “rest” your foot on the brake pedal because it causes warming
in the brake system.
• As a general guideline, when driving downhill, select the same gear
that you would use if driving uphill.
• Select the gear so that the engine revolutions are close to the
maximum.
2. Always use the hydraulic retarder when driving downhill.
• Correct use of retarder saves the service brakes from wearing and
overheating.
• The hydraulic retarder is used to slow the vehicle on curves or
downgrades.
• The retarder is controlled with a control switch on the dashboard.
There are four different retarding effects available:
- 1=engine brake
- 2=engine brake +1/3 retarder
- 3=engine brake +2/3 retarder
- 4=engine brake +3/3 retarder

Operator's Manual TH551

3. The retarder connects, when the retarder switch is in position 1-4 and
accelerator pedal is fully raised.
• Automatic retarder control (optional)
- In the automatic retarder control mode the retarder is controlled
automatically by the machine VCM to prevent machine engine of
overspeeding regardless of the retarder switch position.
- The retarder connects, when the retarder switch is in position 1-4
and accelerator pedal is fully raised.
- if engine revolutions keep rising the effect is increased
gradually:
- - 2050 rpm: 50 %
- 2100 rpm: 75 %
- 2150 rpm: 100%
RPM at factory default settings
- Switch in 0-position:
- if engine revolutions rise over 2000 rpm while the accelerator
pedal is raised, 25 % retarding effect is connected
- if engine revolutions keep rising the effect is increased
gradually:
- - 2050 rpm: 50 %
- 2100 rpm: 75 %
- 2150 rpm: 100%
RPM at factory default settings
• The retarder connects every time, when the engine or the whole
vehicle is overspeeding (engine rpm >2200 rpm) (RPM at factory
default settings) regardless of the accelerator pedal position.
• The maximum retarder effect occurs with the lowest available range
and maximum engine rpm.
4. Try to keep the transmission temperature as low as possible.
• When the transmission oil temperature rises high, use lower range/
speed.
• When retarder is active the cooling pump is set to maximum for
maximum cooling effect.
• NOTE! When transmission oil temperature rises high enough,
retarder will automatically be disabled “retarder kick off” to protect the
transmission from damage.
5. Always follow the local site regulations!

Use of engine brake


The engine starts braking when the foot is lifted off from the acceleration
pedal.

6.5.1 Jack system (lifting)


Always secure the dump truck with three external stands when the dump
truck is in lifted up position. Use only the approved stands available from
Sandvik. Each stand is equipped with a 20 mm and a 30 mm height
adjustment plate which can be used for compensating small differences in
the surface where the stands will be placed. The front stand is adjustable to
low and high position. The dump truck is equipped with two plastic blocks
that can be used under the front jack cylinders to get the front part of the
dump truck lifted higher up. The plastic blocks are attached to the tipping
cylinders. Use the wagon when moving the stands.

6.6 Operation in cold weather


If the temperature is below 0 °C, clear off ice from all steps and handles of
the machine.
Because the machine is intended to operate in underground mining
conditions, its engine, transmission and hydraulic systems are filled with
oils suitable for these conditions. However, in cold conditions the oils may
thicken. This makes starting difficult and may damage the torque converter
and hydraulic pumps. For this reason, avoid any temporary parking in frosty
weather. If the machine will work in very cold or very hot conditions, see
Maintenance Manual for the correct oils and the engine manufacturer's
instruction manual for the proper fuel.
Starting aids such as preheating the engine, the hydraulic oil and urea
solution (AdBlue/DEF, if equipped) are recommended in temperatures
below -10 °C. The urea solution (AdBlue/DEF) will begin to crystallize and
freeze at temperatures below -10 °C.
Be aware that starting the engine in cold conditions may require multiple
attempts.

Operation in arctic conditions


The machines that are delivered to arctic conditions are typically equipped
with several different preheaters, extra insulation and other components to
ensure that the machines can be started and operated in extreme cold.
Make sure that all available preheaters are used.
To ensure reliable operation of the machine in arctic conditions (below
-20°C), the following additional actions are recommended:
• Make sure you use fuel, oil and coolant suitable for arctic conditions.
• Store the machine inside a heated tent when the machine is not in
operation.
• Try to minimize the engine idle time.
• Maximum exhaust gas temperature drop is 10°C to avoid urea (AdBlue/
DEF) crystallization (if equipped with an urea system). It is recommended
to measure this on site during the coldest period. If needed, add
insulation on the exhaust gas pipe.
• Note that urea needs to be heated up also during stocking and
transportation. The urea solution (AdBlue/DEF) will begin to crystallize
and freeze at temperatures below -10 °C.
• If needed, cover the engine compartment to keep it warm and to ensure
that engine heat generation is heating the air intakes.
• If needed, cover the cooling cells of the engine cooler partly. In extremely
cold climate cover them totally.
• If needed, add insulation on the engine coolant lines.
• If needed, add a fuel preheater outside the fuel tank.
• If needed and based on local measurements, the rotating speed of the
engine cooler fan motor can be adjusted by adjusting the hydraulic pump.

6.7 Arctic package (option)


The purpose of the arctic package is to preheat essential systems of the
machine before starting in cold climate conditions. The arctic package
includes heaters for the engine, the hydraulic oil, the brake oil, the drop
box, the up box and the gearbox.

Copyright © Sandvik 273 (298)


ID: BG00408868 en-US I.001.1 2017-06-07
Operator's Manual TH551

Plug an external electric cable to the electric plug of the machine to activate
the arctic package heaters. The system typically has the following heaters:
• a 2000W heater for the engine
• a 2000W heater for the hydraulic oil tank
• a 1000W heater for the brake oil
• 2 x 400W heating pads for the gearbox
• 2 x 400W heating pads for the upbox
• a 250W heating pad for the dropbox

274 (298) Copyright © Sandvik


ID: BG00408868 en-US I.001.1 2017-06-07
Operator's Manual TH551

Depending on the climate conditions, the machine may also be equipped


with additional heaters and related components. Extra insulation and
covers might also be installed. The following are some examples of
additional heating equipment:
• Urea heater system based on coolant circulation in the urea tank
• External engine coolant heater on the cylinder block to improve engine
heating
• Suction air grid heater to preheat combustion air
• Fuel prefilter with heater
• Battery preheater
• Electric primer pump for fuel
• Double alternator or larger alternator to ensure electric supply for the
heating systems that are connected to the electric system of the machine
• Increased cable size between the battery and the starter motor
• Exhaust system insulation
• Urea tank insulation

6.8 Storing instructions


Storing environment:
• Storage temperature should be +0...+35 °C, and the machine should be
protected from direct sunlight and from rain.
• The humidity of the air should be below 90%.

1. Wash the machine thoroughly if it comes directly from use, or if it has


been transported by sea (use high pressure washer or steam).
2. Lubricate all greasing points.
3. Empty the pressure accumulators and place warning signs on the
machine: ’Pressure accumulators must be filled before using the
machine’.
4. Apply protective grease to the piston rods of the cylinders.
5. Change all lubricants and fluids.
6. Check engine air filter and service if necessary.

Operator's Manual TH551

7. Protect electric devices with corrosion inhibitor to prevent contact


failures.
8. Disconnect batteries.
9. Apply protective grease to the following points:
• terminal strips
• battery terminals
• multipole connectors
• connectors at caps of magnetic valves, pressure switches, etc. Fill
the caps with grease.

6.9 Transporting the dump truck


Always keep the box in hauling position before driving the dump
truck onto a transport wagon. Never exceed the specified gradient
angles.

1. Use suitable access ramps when driving the dump truck onto and off
transport platform.
• Driving must always be done on level ground.
2. Always use low speed and observe special caution when coming from
the ramps to the platform.
3. Straighten the truck (no angle between the front and rear the frame)
4. Engage parking brake.
