INTRODUCTION

This manual is provided as a guide to familiarize the operator and service
personnel with the controls, recommended inspections, start-up, operating,
shutdown and parking procedures for the Terex articulated trucks. It is
essential that operators read and understand the manual before operating the
machine.

The Terex articulated haulers are 3 axle types with an oscillation and
articulation pivot joint between the tractor and trailer units. Articulation is
achieved by frame steering. The machine has part time or full time 6 wheel
drive controlled by the operator. The machine range has the capability to carry
a maximum payload from 27.5 US ton to 41.9 US ton (25 tonnes to 38 tonnes)
or a heaped capacity of between 20.3 yd3 to 30.3 yd3 (15.5 m3 to 23.3 m3).

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

The machine should be properly operated and maintained to keep it in a safe,
efficient operating condition. Be sure that all controls are free of mud, grease,
or other matter that might cause slips hazardous to the operator, service
personnel or equipment. Report all malfunctions to those responsible for
maintenance, and, do not operate the equipment until corrected. Normal
service or maintenance performed as required can prevent unexpected and
unnecessary downtime.

Safety Alert Symbol

The Safety Alert System identifies important safety messages in this manual.
When you see this symbol, BE ALERT! Your safety is involved. Carefully read
the message that follows and inform other operators.

Hazard Classification

A multi-tiered hazard classification system is used to communicate potential
personal injury hazards. The following signal words used with the safety alert
symbol indicate a specific level of severity of the potential hazard. Signal
words used without the safety alert symbol relate to property damage and
protection only. All are used as attention getting devices throughout this
manual as well as on decals and labels fixed to the machinery to assist in
potential hazard recognition and prevention.

THEFT DETERRENT PRACTICES

General

The owner/operator should take the following precautions to discourage theft,
to aid in the recovery in the event that the machine is stolen, or to reduce
vandalism.

Actions to Discourage Theft and Vandalism

Remove all keys any time the machine is left unattended.

At night lock all doors and attach, secure or lock all anti-vandalism and
anti-theft devices on the machine.

Immobilize the machine by removing a critical electrical or starting system
device.

Upon receipt of a machine, record the machine serial number and the serial
numbers of all major components and attachments. Keep this list up to date
and filed in a safe location for fast retrieval.

Place a decal or notice on the machine that all serial numbers are recorded.

Discourage the thief! Inspect the gates and fences of the machinery
storage yard or construction site. Keep machines in well-lit areas and ask the
local law enforcement authorities to make frequent checks around the storage
yard or work site.

Establish liaison with neighbours and ask them to watch equipment left at job
sites and to report any suspicious activities to the local law enforcement
authorities.

Make frequent inventories of machines to promptly detect losses or
vandalism.

Actions to Aid in Recovery of Stolen Machines

In the event of theft, immediately notify the law enforcement authorities having
jurisdiction. Provide the investigating officer with name, type of equipment,
chassis and serial numbers of major attachments and components. It is
helpful to show the investigating officer an operations manual, photographs,
and advertising, to familiarize him with the appearance of the machine.

Report the theft to the insurance company. Provide the model and all serial
numbers.

Report the model and serial numbers of the stolen machine to a dealer
handling the respective line of equipment. Request that the dealer forward this
same information to the equipment manufacturer.

SAFETY

The machine should be properly operated and maintained to keep it
in a safe, efficient operating condition. Be sure that all controls are
free of mud, grease, or other matter that might cause slips hazardous
to the operator, serviceman, or other personnel or equipment. Report
all malfunctions to those responsible for maintenance, and, do not
operate the equipment until corrected. Normal service or
maintenance performed as required can prevent unexpected and
unnecessary downtime.

This operations manual describes general inspections, servicing and
operation with the normal safety precautions required for normal
servicing and operating conditions. It is not a guide however, for other
than normal conditions or situations, and therefore, servicemen and
operators must be safety conscious and alert to recognize potential
servicing or operating safety hazards at all times, and take, necessary
precautions to assure safe servicing and operation of the machine.

These machines use a solution of high purity urea (AdBlue) in
the def tank. Avoid prolonged or repeated contact with skin.
After handling, always wash hands thoroughly with soap and
water. In case of contact with eyes, rinse immediately with water.
If large quantities are ingested or irritation persists seek medical
attention immediately.

These machines are equipped with cylinders containing com­pressed nitrogen gas. Transportation of these machines by any
method may require a special permit from the appropriate
authority of the country involved. Consult your dealer for
details.

All information, illustrations and specifications contained in this
publication are based on the latest product information available at
the time of publication. The right is reserved to make changes at any
time without notice.

Continuing improvement and advancement of the design may cause
changes to your machine which may not be included in this
publication. Each publication is reviewed and revised, as required, to
update and include these changes in later editions.

This operations manual contains lubrication and routine servicing
instructions, most of which can be performed in the field.
Maintenance manuals containing repair/ rebuild procedures can be
obtained from your dealer.

CAUTION

The protection offered by the roll over and falling object
protective structure may be impaired if it has been subjected
to any modification or damage. Unauthorized modification will
void certification.

Articulation and Oscillation Lock

• Always connect the steering and oscillation lock bar before
working in the articulation area, before lifting the machine and
during transportation of this machine by trailer/vessel.

• Always disconnect the steering and oscillation lock bar and
secure in the 'Stowed' position before operating the machine. The
machine would not be free to steer otherwise.

Machine Lifting Precautions

• Prior to lifting, the machine should be parked on a level surface,
wheels blocked, steering and oscillation lock bars connected.

• The machine should be lifted using a spreader bar if possible. Lift
using FOUR slings from the lifting points provided at the bumper
end of the front chassis and at the rear of the body.

NOTICE: Be aware that this machine is free to oscillate if not lifted
correctly. If in any doubt contact your dealer for further information.

Machine Tie Down Precautions

• The machine should be secured at the tie down points located at
the bumper end of the front chassis, the front face of the trailer
chassis and the tow pin at the rear of the trailer chassis.

Preventing Fire Hazards

General Fire Precautions

• Make sure the machine has a fire extinguisher and that it is
accessible and fully charged. (Not furnished with the machine).

• Never use an open flame as a light anywhere on, or around, the
machine.

• Clean all dirt, oil, grease and other fluids from systems and
components to minimize fire hazards and aid in spotting loose or
leaking lines, fittings etc.

• Check the engine compartment for rubbish, oily rags or other
debris that could cause fires before starting the engine.

• Don’t let greasy, oily rags or similar hazards accumulate in the
cab.

• If the machine has been operated with an under inflated tyre,
make sure that the tyre has cooled sufficiently before parking and
leaving the machine unattended.

Flammable Fluid Precautions

• Don’t use diesel fuel or other flammable fluids for cleaning
purposes. Use approved, nonflammable solvents.

• Make sure all fluid system caps, drain cocks, valves, fittings, lines,
etc., are secure and leak free.

• Never use an open flame (match, lighter etc.) when checking fuel,
lubricant, coolant and battery fluid levels, or when checking for
fluid leaks. Use a flashlight or other safe lighting only.

• Shut off the engine and use extra caution if the engine is hot
when refuelling. Ground the hose spout to prevent sparks when
the spout touches the fuel tank filler tube.
