function or location of the operator controls. Please call our Customer Service Department before operating

the machinery if you have any questions regarding the controls on your MSV.

OPERATOR CAB CONTROLS

The operator cab has several controls that are used to operate the M-B MSV. This section details the controls

that the operator uses to provide comfort and safety. The joystick and the Plus+1® interface are described in

another section.

Operator Seat

The seat is cushioned by an airbag that absorbs bumps and vibration. The rmness of the cushion is adjusted

using a knob located at the front of the seat and below the operators legs (Figure 4).

With the engine running, the rmness is adjusted by rotating the knob up for rmer or down for less rm.

When the engine is off rotating the knob down releases air.

Two levers on the side of the seat control forward/back

and seat back position.

Move the front lever to release the seat and move the seat to the new position. Release the lever to lock.

Lift the rear lever to release the seat back. Reposition

the seat back and release the lever to lock.

PRE-START UP

Before performing any of the following

inspections, make sure that the vehicle engine

is shut down, the ignition key is removed, and

all personnel in the work area are aware that the equipment is being inspected and must not be started.

Never check for hydraulic leaks by hand. Hydraulic uid under pressure can penetrate skin.

Trying to start the engine prior to the Startup screen

WARNING:

appearing may cause delays. Engine will not crank until

manifold heater is at starting temperature. Colder temps

will cause delays.

1. Start the engine.

2. Use Plus+1® to determine if the correct attachments

are congured in the controls

3. With the engine idling, operate the attachments until

the system warms up.

4. Return to the main screen for operation.

Inspect all hydraulic lines for evidence of leaking, loose ttings, and frayed or damaged

hoses.

Check hydraulic cylinders for broken or loose parts, especially cotter pins on the hydraulic cylinders.

Check the hydraulic oil level. A sight gauge

is located on the side of the reservoir for this

purpose. Add uid as necessary.

All access doors are secured in place.

Visually inspect for uid leaks under the vehicle.

Check engine uids.

Check for faults on screen.

Inspect attachments for damage and proper connection.

START-UP PROCEDURE

Key Switch

The key switch on the steering column is used to

initialize Plus+1® controller and start the engine. The engine will not start until Plus+1® has booted up and the

intake manifold heater has properly warmed.

To start the MSV the operator must be seated. Turn

the key switch to the on position. Watch the screen of

Plus+1®. After an M-B splash screen the start up screen

will appear. Turn the key to start the engine.

IMPORTANT: The engine will not start unless

Plus+1® is ready. Turn the key to ON and wait for Plus+1® to start up (approximately 15 seconds). If the key is turned to START before Plus+1® is ready, the key must be reset. Turn the key to OFF and back to ON. When Plus+1® is ready the engine preheater will be ready. The engine can then be started.

COLD WEATHER STARTING

Before Starting the Engine

NOTE: Do not use a torch to heat a compartment.

This causes res, burns wiring, gaskets and

seals, or melts protective plastic. When using canvas covers, do not install them near exhaust systems. This helps to

prevent res.

Manually Sprayed Ether Starting Aids

DANGER:

Do not use manually sprayed Ether starting aids. Using a spray type starting aid may cause the air intake to explode and cause personal injury.

Intake Air Heater

The engine has a grid heater in the air intake tube just before the intake manifold. This heater is controlled as

needed by the engine electronics. Do not bypass or

force the heater on.

M-B Multi-Service Vehicle • 44 • Operation

AFTER STARTING ENGINE

Whenever a machine has been parked for a long period

of time, some of the systems will cool to below normal operating temperatures. Always warm the machine systems before operating the machine at full operation

Damage to engine valve control components can result from engine operation for short intervals during operation

in very cold weather conditions. If the engine is not allowed to warm completely, the engine can be damaged by repeated starting and stopping.

To avoid damage, always run the engine until the coolant

temperature is at least 180°F (82°C).

After the engine is warm, warm up the other systems. Start with the hydraulics. Run the engine at less than one-third throttle, and slowly move the control lever to lift the attachment. Initially, lift the control lever for a few inches (centimeters). Lower the attachment slowly.

Continue the sequence: raising, lowering, extending, and

retracting. Extend the travel during each cycle. Perform this operation for all hydraulic circuits. Alternate between

all of the attachments.

Exercise the transmission and the power train. If you

cannot move the control for the transmission, perform the following steps:

• Engage the parking brake or apply the brake pedal.

• Run the engine slightly above LOW IDLE.

• Shift the transmission several times from

FORWARD to REVERSE.

Release the brake. Move the equipment forward

and backward for several feet (meters). Exercise the

machine for several minutes.

To reduce the total warm up time, start exercising the

entire machine before you complete the hydraulic warm

up time.

Operate under light load until the systems reach normal

operating temperatures.

If the engine temperature is not high enough enclose the engine and block the radiator. A thermostat that opens at a higher temperature will not increase the engine temperature if the engine is not under load.

To prevent seal damage and gasket damage, keep the engine crankcase breather pipe clear of blockage.

In extreme conditions, use a canvas over the engine compartment. Heat the engine area with a space

heater. This will aid in starting the engine. Extending the canvas over the hydraulic components will provide initial

warming of the components.

Multigrade lubricants (10W30) may be used successfully

at ambient temperatures below the pour point of the

oil. However, in order to use this oil, you must leave the

engine running at low idle. This helps keep lubricants and compartments warm for the engine and for the transmission. Running the engine at low idle will not

keep the hydraulic systems warm.

SAFETY LINK

The chassis for the MSV articulates or pivots in the middle. This is used to help maneuver the MSV and provides a smaller turning radius.

During maintenance it is advisable to lock-out the articulation of the chassis.

To lock the Chassis:

1. Pull straight ahead to align the chassis.

2. Locate the safety link on the frame behind the cab

(Figure 37 Safety Link Open).

3. Pull out the removable pin (Figure 38).

4. Swing the link to meet the back half and insert the pin.

When the safety link is not in use, it should be stored

against the front frame.

FRONT ATTACHMENT CONNECTIONS

Front Hitch Connections

IMPORTANT: For best performance each

attachment must be setup by M-B or your authorized MSV dealer prior to use.

The attachment hitch has two hooks with hitch clamps.

Up and down movement is supplied by two hydraulic cylinders.

The hitch hooks will slide side-to-side to align with various attachments.

CAUTION:

If the attachment is not centered on the vehicle

damage may occur. Keep the hitch hooks tightened in place. The hydraulic hoses must

be kept clear from all interference points.

To connect an attachment:

1. Pull the MSV close to the attachment.

2. Adjust the hooks side-to-side as needed using the locking bolt on the back side. Pull the handle forward to open the clamp locks.

3. Drive the MSV forward with the hooks lowered. Putting the MSV in Creep Mode will assist in this.

4. The hooks should t into the arms of the attachment.

Lift the hitch in position so the hooks engage and lift

the attachment.

5. Push the clamp locks back completely.

6. Insert the safety pins. Most attachments will have a top link as a third connecting point. This link is

normally used to level the attachment.

Some attachments may be different. Review the instructions with each attachment. Hydraulic, PTO, and electrical connections may also be needed for proper

attachment use.
