Operation
Introduction
T2-006_2
The aim of this part of the manual is to guide the operator

step-by-step through the task of learning how to operate
the machine efficiently and safely. Read the Operation
section through from beginning to end.
Before you start the machine, you must know how the
machine operates. Use your manual to identify each
control lever, switch, gauge, button and pedal. Do not
guess. If there is anything you do not understand, ask your
authorized distributor.
The operator must always be aware of events happening

in or around the machine. Safety must always be the most
important factor when you operate the machine.
When you understand the operating controls, gauges and

switches, practice using them. Drive the machine in an
open space, clear of people. Get to know the 'feel' of the
machine and its driving controls.
Finally, do not rush the job of learning, make sure you fully
understand everything in the Operation section. Take your
time and work efficiently and safely.

Visibility Aids

Mirrors and Adjustment

Introduction
The following information is provided so that the operator

can minimise visibility hazards when operating the
machine.
This machine meets the visibility requirements specified in

ISO 5006:2006. The machine has been subject to a static
visibility assessment with the loader bucket 300 mm (12 in)
50 mm (2 in) above the ground. The test simulates
operator visibility in establishing lines of sight between the
operators eye's and points on the ground at a 12 m (13 yd)
radius from the machine, and on a boundary line 5 m (5 yd)
above the ground and 1 m (1 yd) away from the smallest
rectangle that encompasses a plan view of the machine.
Whilst based upon ergonomic data (binocular eye spacing,
turning of the head and body torso movement), the
standard sometimes purposefully restricts/removes
movement which is ergonomically achievable in order to
improve/maintain the current state of art. As a
consequence, visibility diagrams in accordance with ISO
5006:2006 often report visibility maskings which do not
exist in practice.
A visibility diagram according to ISO 5006:2006 is

provided .>>Fig 11. (38)
When operating the machine the operator must continually

survey his/her field of vision. It is important that the mirrors
are securely fitted and give maximum vision around the
machine. The machine should be used in accordance with
appropriate jobsite organisation and persons should be
kept outside of the immediate vicinity of the machine
considering the working range of equipment/attachment
and speed of movement of the machine.
When a mirror is provided to supplement the operators

direct field of vision, it must be adjusted to serve as an aid
to the operator in seeing people or obstacles around the
machine. The mirror provides indirect vision to hidden
areas and improves the effectiveness of the machines
usage.
Use of the machine in non-standard travelling

configurations, and/or with attachments that result in
restriction of the machine visibility should be assessed in
accordance with ISO 5006:2006 to determine if further
devices and/or jobsite controls are required.

Operation
Drive Controls, Switches and Instruments
Drive Controls
Single Lever A
The machine is driven by use of the drive control lever A.
This lever performs two functions: forward/reverse drive
and steering. It is spring loaded to its central (neutral)
position.
Forward/Reverse Drive
Starting from the neutral position, select forward drive by

pushing the lever forwards as at B, or select reverse drive
by pulling the lever back as at C. The amount of lever
movement controls the speed of the machine; the greater
the movement the faster the speed.
Steering
Steering is achieved in both forward and reverse drive (i.e.

with the lever forward or back). By moving the lever
forward and to the left as at D the machine will steer to the B
left. By moving the lever forward and to the right as at E the D E
machine will steer to the right. The greater the travel of the
lever, the sharper the turn will be.
By moving the lever back and to the left as at F the

machine will reverse and steer to the right. By moving the J
lever back and to the right as at G the machine will reverse
H
and steer to the left.
The machine can also be turned round (spin turn) within its
own length. To spin turn to the left as at H, move the lever F G
from the neutral position to the left. To spin turn to the right C
as at J, move the lever from the neutral position to the
right. B
D E
Avoid excessive or too rapid movements of the lever which
could cause the machine to become unstable. Return the

lever to the central position when the manoeuvre is
complete.

Low Fuel Levels

If you operate the machine on very low fuel levels, then air
can enter the fuel system. To prevent the entry of air,
always add more fuel when the fuel gauge shows a low
level of fuel.
If air enters the fuel system, the engine speed will vary
dramatically and low power will be experienced. The
symptoms may be made worse when the machine
operates on steep gradients.
NOTE
If you Increase the engine speed or load while
there is air in the fuel system, then subsequent
damage to the engine can occur.
If the fuel supply contains air, you must stop the engine, fill
the fuel tank then bleed the fuel system to remove the air.

Coolant Mixtures
T3-009_3
Check the strength of the coolant mixture at least once a

year, preferably at the start of the cold period.
Replace the coolant mixture according to the intervals

shown in the machine's Service Schedule, using Volvo
Coolant (Green).
! WARNING
Antifreeze can be harmful. Obey the manufacturer's
instructions when handling full strength or diluted
antifreeze.
7-3-4-4_1
You must dilute full strength antifreeze with clean water

before use. Use clean water of no more than a moderate
hardness (pH value 8.5). If this cannot be obtained, use
de-ionized water. For further information advice on water
hardness, contact your local water authority.
The correct concentration of antifreeze protects the engine

against frost damage in winter and provides year round
protection against corrosion.
The protection provided by High Performance Antifreeze

and Inhibitor is shown below.
50% Concentration (Standard)

Protects against damage down to -40 C (-39 F)
60% Concentration (Extreme Conditions Only)

Protects against damage down to -56 C (-68 F)
NOTICE
IMPORTANT
Do not exceed a 60% concentration, as the
freezing protection provided reduces beyond this
point.
If you use any other brand of antifreeze:
Ensure that the antifreeze complies with International

Specification ASTM D6210.
Always read and understand the manufacturer's
instructions.
Ensure that a corrosion inhibitor is included. Serious
damage to the cooling system can occur if corrosion
inhibitors are not used.
Ensure that the antifreeze is ethylene glycol based
and does not use Organic Acid Technology (OAT).

(1) The specification includes the requirements for Ultra Low Sulfur Diesel (ULSD). ULSD fuel will have < or = 15 ppm
(0.0015%) sulfur. Refer to ASTM D5453, ASTM D2622, or ISO 20846, ISO20884 test methods. The specification
includes the requirements for Low Sulfur Diesel (LSD). LSD fuel will have < or = 500 ppm (0.05%) sulfur. Refer to
ASTM 5453, ASTM D2622, ISO 20846 and ISO 20884 test methods.
(2) A fuel with a higher cetane number is recommended in order to operate at a higher altitude or cold weather.
(3) Via standards tables, the equivalent API gravity for the minimum density of 801 Kg/m3 (kilogram per cubic meter) is
45 and for the maximum density is 876 Kg/m3 is 30.

(4) Regional regulations, national regulations and international regulations can require a fuel with a specific sulfur limit.
Consult all applicable regulations before selecting a fuel for a given engine application. Fuel systems and engine
components can operate on high sulfur fuels in territories that are non-emission regulated. Fuel sulfur levels affect
exhaust emissions. High sulfur fuels also increase the potential for corrosion of internal components. Fuel sulfur levels
above 0.5% may significantly shorten the oil change interval.
(5) The values for the fuel viscosity are the values as the fuel is delivered to the fuel injection pumps. Fuel should also
meet the minimum viscosity requirement and the fuel should meet the maximum viscosity requirements at 40C
(104F) of either the ASTM D445 test method or the ISO 3104 test method. If a fuel with a low viscosity is used,
cooling of the fuel may be required to maintain 1.4 cSt or greater viscosity at the fuel injection pump. Fuel with a high
viscosity might require fuel heaters in order to lower the viscosity to 4.5 cSt at the fuel injection pump.
(6) Follow the test conditions and procedures for gasoline (motor).
(7) The lubricity of a fuel is a concern with low sulfur and ultra sulfur fuel. To determine the lubricity of the fuel, use
ISO12156-1 or ASTM D6079 High Frequency Reciprocating Rig (HFRR) test. If the lubricity of a fuel does not meet
the minimum requirements, consult your fuel supplier. Do not treat the fuel without consulting the fuel supplier. Some
additives are not compatible. These additives can cause problems in the fuel system.
NOTE
Operating with fuels that do not meet the
recommendations can cause the following
effects: Starting difficulty, poor combustion,
deposits in the fuel injectors, reduced service life
of the fuel system, deposits in the combustion
chamber, and reduced service life of the engine.

over-heated or over-inflated. Follow the instructions
given when inflating the tyres. Do not cut or weld the
rims. Use a tyre/wheel specialist for all repair work.
2-3-2-7_2
! WARNING
Wheels and tyres are heavy. Take care when lifting or
moving them.
Store with care to ensure that they cannot fall and

cause injury.
13-3-1-7_1
Always try to maintain your tyre pressure to the

recommended settings. Using your machine with under-
inflated tyres means:
Decreasing the machines stability

Higher tyre temperatures
Excessive strain of the tyre fabric
More bulging of the sidewalls
Shortens the tyres life.
Using the machine with over inflated tyres is dangerous:
It causes excessive tensile loads in the fabric: this

makes a tyre more susceptible to cuts and punctures.
Do not cut or weld on the rim of an inflated tyre.
After checking or amending the tyre pressure always

replace and secure the valve cap.
Always deflate the tyre before removing foreign obstacles

from the tread.

An operator taking prescription or over-the-

counter drugs should seek medical advice on
whether or not he or she can safely operate
equipment.
Always check locking pins before operating any
attachment.
Never lift, move, or swing a loaded bucket over
anyone.
Never undercut a high bank. When working at the
base of a bank, overhang, or stockpile, avoid
dangers such as rock or earth slides,
overhanging trees, or a cave-in, by proper job
operation.
Be careful when handling loose objects. Lifting
too high, or rolling the bucket too far back, could
result in these objects sliding backward down the
arms onto the operator compartment.
Dont obstruct your vision when traveling or
working. Carry the bucket low for maximum
stability and visibility.

Pallet Forks
Pallet Forks
The pallet fork frame includes a Rating Plate which gives

its weight and its Safe Working Load. The safe working
load is for the fork assembly alone. Never exceed machine
operating capacities regardless of fork frame assembly
rating. The machine operating capacity will depend upon
the model being used.
The forks should always be used in pairs as supplied. Each

fork is stamped with its Part Number and Safe Working
Load.
! CAUTION
Fork Spacing
Loads can fall off incorrectly spaced forks. Always
space the forks correctly for the load. Make sure the
forks are completely under the load before lifting.
