 Specified capacity: Total amount of oil including oil for components and oil in piping.
 Refill capacity: Amount of oil needed to refill reservoir during periodic inspection and maintenance.

NOTE!
When fuel sulphur content is less than 0.3%, change engine oil every 500 hours. Change oil according to the following table
if fuel sulphur content is above 0.3%.

Fuel sulphur content and change interval

NOTE!
When starting the engine in an ambient temperature of lower than 0 °C, be sure to use engine oil of SAE 10W, SAE 10W–30
and SAE 15W–40, even though the ambient temperature goes up to 10 °C more or less in the day time.

NOTE!
Use API classification CH-4 as engine oil, and if API classification is lower than CG-4, reduce the engine oil change interval to
half.

2) Cooling system

 The cooling system is either filled with Volvo Coolant VCS or Volvo Coolant. To avoid damage to the engine, it is
very important to continue to use the same coolant, when filling or changing, as the system is filled with.
 Do not mix different coolants or corrosion protection as this may result in engine damages.
 To distinguish the coolant from each, the cooling system is filled with Volvo Coolant VCS if

 it is yellow.
 a decal with the text “Volvo Coolant VCS” is put by the filling point.

The cooling system is filled with Volvo Coolant if

 it is green.
 the decal mentioned above, is not by the filling point.

 Machine with Volvo Coolant VCS must not use together with the coolant filter.
Current Volvo Coolant filter is not possible to use with Volvo Coolant VCS due to the mismatch of the inhibitor
systems.

Removed condition

Figure 1
Measurement, bearing clearance (removed)

1. Inner race
2. Dial gauge
3. Magnet base
4. Lift
5. Outer race

 Put the slew gear on a flat surface and then set 3 magnetic bases on the outer race at 120° intervals.
 Set 3 dial gauges on the inner race.
 Lifting the outer race vertically, axial clearance is the movement between bearing races.
 Read the values of dial gauges.

Installed condition
Clean the outer race of slew gear and the underside of undercarriage.
The slew gear wear is not uniform over the entire circumference.
To obtain the exact play, it is necessary to take two measurements and pivot the superstructure by 90°.
1st measurement
  Position superstructure on center line of undercarriage.
 Bear the bucket on the ground until the tracks are partially lifted off the ground.
 Place the magnetic base.
 Adjust the dial gauge to zero at the underside of undercarriage and outer race of slew gear.
 Gently lower the excavator onto the ground and raise the bucket to the level of the cab floor with arm extended.
Read the values shown by the needle on the dial gauge.
 Bear the bucket on the ground once again to check that the dial gauge pointer properly returns zero.

1. Outer race
2. Superstructure
3. Inner race
4. Undercarriage

2nd measurement

 Position superstructure at 90° in relation to first measurement.

 Measure the clearance according to the method shown under paragraph (1st measurement).

Allowable clearance
Measure the clearance twice in each position and record it in the table below.
Clearance recording format

Clearance read at 1st position of Clearance read at 2nd position of

superstructure superstructure
A (1st measurement)
B (2nd measurement)
Total A+B A+B
Average clearance Total/2 Total/2

If there is a large difference between measurements A and B, there is likely a mistake, therefore, repeat the measurement
several times.
NOTE!
The most important factor of slew gear failure is concerned with the axial clearance. Therefore, lubricate the bearing and
slew gear teeth periodically.

booster cables
Profile:
EXC, EC360B LC [GB]

Starting engine with booster cables

Before connecting the booster cables check the following:

 Size of booster cable and clip should be suitable for the battery capacity.
 Check cables and clips for breaks, corroded surfaces, etc.
 Make sure cables and clips are firmly secured.
 Keep the starting switch in “OFF” position, (both machines).
 The battery of the running engine must be the same capacity as that of the engine to be boost started.
 When starting from another machine do not allow the machines to touch.

Connect the booster cables in the following manner :

Figure 1
Connection, booster cables

1. Connect clip (1) of booster cable (A) to the battery positive (+) terminal of the machine to be boost started.
2. Connect clip (2) to the battery positive (+) terminal of the engine which is running.
3. Connect clip (3) of booster cable (B) to the battery negative (–) terminal of the engine which is running.
4. Connect clip (4) to the upper structure of the machine to be boost started.

NOTICE
Make sure the clips are firmly connected to battery terminals. Start the engine with the fully charged battery, then
crank the engine being boost started.

When connecting the cables, do not allow the positive (+) and negative (–) terminals to make contact.

NOTICE
Make sure that the booster cable connections are correct. Connect the booster cable to the engine block as far as
possible from the battery. After the engine has started, the booster cables must be disconnected in the reverse
order.

Starting engine

1. Turn the key switch to “START” position and start the engine.
2. Cranking time maximum 30 seconds, wait minimum 2 minutes between cranking attempts.
3. After the engine has started, the booster cables must be disconnected in the reverse order.

Disconnect the cables as follows :

Figure 2
Disconnection, booster cables

1. Disconnect clip (1) of booster cable (B) from the upper structure.
2. Disconnect clip (2) from the battery negative (–) terminal of the running engine.
3. Disconnect clip (3) of booster cable (A) from the battery positive (+) terminal of the running engine.
4. Disconnect clip (4) from the battery positive (+) terminal of the machine which was boost started.
