Keep all fuels and lubricants in properly marked
containers and away from all unauthorised persons.
Do not smoke in the storage areas.
Store oily rags and other flammable material in a

Do not weld or flame cut pipes or tubes that have

with non flammable solvent before welding or flame
cutting them.

Safety Decals
 There are several safety decals on your BELL EQUIPMENT machine. Their exact location and description
 of the hazard are reviewed in this section. Please take the time to familiarise yourself with these safety
 decals.
 Keep the decals clean by using a soft cloth, water, and soap. Do not use solvent, gasoline, etc. You must re-
 place a decal if it is damaged, missing or cannot be read. If a decal is on a part that is replaced, ensure a
 new decal is installed on the replacement part. Contact your BELL EQUIPMENT Representative for new
 decals.
 There are other decals on your machine, such as the BELL identification decal only the decals of special
 relevance to the safety of the operator are shown here. Refer to the Parts Manual for the identification decals

TYRE INFORMATION
 As a general rule of thumb, for ambient (at place of inflation) temperatures exceeding 25°C, the fol-
 lowing applies:
TYRE INFORMATION
 The adjusted Cold Inflation Pressure is a one-time change based on the recommended inflation
 pressure for the vehicle/site and the temperature at the time the pressure is being checked or ad-
 justed. This adjustment is required to ensure that the tyre does not become under-inflated
 should the ambient operating temperature drop below the temperature at which the tyre
 pressures were set. Once the vehicle starts operating, the pressure will increase due to heat
 build-up inside the tyre. The increasing of pressure on an operational vehicle should be monitored
 until stabilised, at which time the pressure is noted as the Hot Inflation Pressure. Future pressure
 checks and adjustments should be done according to the Hot Inflation Pressure with the tyre at op-
 erating temperature.

• A series of rollers and springs are located inside
  the stator.
• When fluid strikes the front of the stator blades,

  direction.

  tapered cavity, the stator is locked and can’t rotate
  that direction.
• When fluid strikes the back side of the stator

6. Start the truck.
7. Install the articulation lock.
8. Ensure that the inter-axle diff lock is NOT

9. Read the pressure on the gauge while the truck
   is idling. It should read 15 Bar or less. If not, the
   main pump residual pressure needs to be low-
   ered before one can set the emergency steering
   pump residual pressure. Follow the main pump
   pressure setting procedure in the next sectionto
   set the main pump residual pressure to about
   15 bar before continuing.
10. While applying the service brake, select
    “DRIVE” on the transmission shift selector. Re-
    lease the park brake and use the gear hold but-
    ton to hold the transmission in second gear
    when it reaches second gear. (Note: The shift
    from second to third gear is very fast. Once the
    machine shifts to third gear, push the gear hold
    button. Slowly release your foot on the acceler-
    ator until the gear shifts back into second gear.
    Once the machine is in second gear you can
    push down on the accelerator to 16kph. The
    gear hold allows the machine to change gears
    down but prevents shifting gears up.)
11. At full rpm in second gear the speed on the
    CDU should read +-16kph, the gauge should
    read the pump residual pressure of 22 Bar (+/-2
    Bar). If the pressure is incorrect, the pump
    needs to be adjusted.
12. If the pressure requires adjustment, select
    “Neutral” on the transmission shift selector en-

    It should read about 120 Bar. If not, the main
    pump compensating pressure needs to be low-

    compensating pressure. Follow the main pump
    pressure setting procedure in 4.3 to set the
    main pump compensating pressure to 120 Bar
    before continuing.
11. While applying the service brake, select
    “DRIVE” on the transmission shift selector. Re-
    lease the park brake and use the gear hold but-
    ton to hold the transmission in second gear
    when it reaches second gear by revving the en-
    gine. (Note: The shift from second to third gear
    is very fast. Once the machine shifts to third
    gear, push the gear hold button. Slowly release
    your foot on the accelerator until the gear shifts
    back into second gear. Once the machine is in
    second gear you can push down on the acceler-
    ator to 16kph. The gear hold allows the machine
    to change gears down but prevents shifting
    gears up.)
12. Turn the steering wheel to the left and hold it
    against the articulation lock, take the engine to
    full rpm. The gauge should read the pump com-
    pensating pressure of 230 Bar (+/- 2 Bar). If the
    pressure is incorrect, the compensator pressure
    needs to be adjusted.
13. If the pressure requires adjustment, select
    “Neutral” on the transmission shift selector en-
    sure the park brake is activated. While the en-
    gine is idling loosen the lock nut on the
    adjustment screw.
