the FSR propulsion control lever, engine speed selector and aspeed selector switch.
Vibration SystemThe drum vibration system consists of an eccentric assemblymounted internally and is powered by an hydraulic motor. Thissystem has dual amplitude capability. Selection of high or lowamplitude is by operating the vibration control lever provided onthe right side of the operator seat. High amplitude isrecommended for thick lift compaction while low amplitude is forthinner lift and sensitive compaction area.
Operator can select different vibration frequencies for high or lowamplitude depending on the requirement. To have a differentdrum vibration frequency with high amplitude, vibration controllever to be operated in forward direction, similarly to have differentdrum vibration frequency with low amplitude, vibration controllever to be operated in backward direction. To stop the drumvibration, vibration control lever should be in neutral position.
GradeabilityGradeability of this machine is the result of a powerful torque-balanced hydrostatic propulsion system, which includes machinetwo–speed range capability and use of the high engine rpmselection. Engine low rpm selection is for idling only. Themachine’s low speed range is recommended for compactingwhile the high speed range for travelling.
BrakeThe standard parking brake is a part of the axle and is designedto use as a parking brake/emergency brake. The parking brakeis spring applied and hydraulically released. Loss of engine powerfor any reason or loss of hydraulic pressure to the brake circuitwill allow the parking brake to apply. The positioning of thepropulsion control lever to “STOP” position acts as a servicebrake. Drum drive motor will have additional spring appliedhydraulically released brake in case of machine with drum driveoption.

Preventive maintenance programIn order for the conventional non-road engine to retain thereliability and performance parameters such as noise level andemission levels it had when delivered, it is essential that itreceives regularly scheduled service, inspections, adjustments,and maintenance.
Fuel systemFuel recommendations:The fuel used must be clean, completely distilled, stable and non-corrosive. Distillation range, cetane level and sulfur content aremost important when selecting fuel for optimum combustion andminimum wear.
Engine working conditions and ambient temperature influence theselection of the fuel with respect to cold handling properties andcetane levels.
In cold weather conditions, below 0 ºC (32 ºF), the use of lighterdistillate or higher cetane level fuel are recommended. (Finalboiling point maximum 349 ºC (660 ºF) and cetane minimum 45.).
In order to avoid excessive sedimentation and to minimize theemissions of sulfur dioxide, the fuel's sulfur content should be aslow as possible. The diesel fuels recommended for use shall meetASTM designation: D 975 no. 1D (C-B) or no. 2D (T-T) with acetane level above 42 and sulfur content not exceeding 0.05percent by weight.
Check for fuel leaks (with the engine running at high idle):Visually check unions and hose connections.
Check the condition of the fuel hoses for:AgeingCracksBlistersScuffing
Check the condition of the fuel tank:Drain condensation water.Check for cracks.Check for leaks.Check the mounting.

Hydraulic system, warming up
CAUTIONDo not rush the warming up of the oil, as forced warming up maydamage the machine.
The oil in the hydraulics of the machine is used for operating thehydraulic cylinders of the equipment as well as the hydraulicmotors for travelling. When the oil is cold it is viscous.
The hydraulic functions of the machine therefore operate slowerthan when the oil is warm.
If one or more of the machine functions are forced against theend-of-stroke position without having first warmed up the system,this may result in malfunctions.
It is important that the oil in the hydraulic system is properlywarmed up before operating the machine.
Apply the parking brake and leave the engine idling so that theoil in the engine, transmission, hydraulic system and axles iswarmed up and becomes sufficiently fluid to provide properlubrication.To race the engine immediately after it has been started mayalso endanger the lubrication and cooling of the turbochargerwith great risk of bearing seizure as a consequence.
Moving the machine a short distance (for example when loadingonto or off a trailer) can be done without a complete warm up.These operations must be executed with great care. In suchsituations, the engine speed must not exceed 1200 rpm.
1 Apply the parking brake.2 Start the engine and let it idle for five minutes.

Braking
Parking brake, description
The parking brake system on this machine consist of a springapplied brake located in the rear axle of the machine. The parkingbrake is released by hydraulic pressure supplied from the chargepump of the propulsion pump.The parking brake is turned ON and OFF by means of a switchlocated on the instrumental panel. The parking brake is releasedwhen the engine is running and the park brake switch is movedto the OFF position. Once the switch is placed in the OFF position,electrical current is supplied to the brake-destroke valve and valveis actuated. This allows the charge pressure of the charge pumpto flow into the brake release circuit. Once the charge reliefpressure is obtained, the oil supplied to the brake at the axle viaa hydraulic hose will overcome the force of the brake spring. Thiswill in turn release the brake pressure and the machine is free tomove as directed.

WARNINGMachine operators must have sufficient skills and knowledge ofthe content in the Operator's Manual before operating themachine.It is important that the operator reads and follows the instructionsin the machine's Operator's Manual.An untrained operator may cause serious injuries and fatalities.Never operate a machine for which there is no Operator's Manualavailable.Learn to understand the warning plates, symbols and operatinginstructions for the machine before you start operating.
The speed of travel of a vibratory roller has a tremendous effecton the compaction results. As opposed to a static roller wherespeed of travel matters very little to the compaction process, avibratory roller needs “dwell” time for each vibration to develop itspotential.
This means that travel speed is of the utmost importance ifmaximum consolidation is to be accomplished. Travel speeds ofmore than 4.83 km/hour (3mph) usually do not develop thecompaction needed, in proportion to the increased travel speed.On the other hand it is very easy to achieve over-compaction withmultiple passes over the same plot due to the efficiency ofCompactors.
NOTICESTATICS SHOW THAT OVER-COMPACTION MAY ACTUALLYREDUCE FINAL DENSITY DUE TO MACHINE BOUNCEWHICH TENDS TO BREAK DOWN THE ALREADY ACHIEVEDDENSITY OVER-COMPACTION CAN ALSO LEAD TOEXCESSIVE WEAR ON YOUR UNIT IF IN DOUBT ABOUT THEPROPER COMPACTION TECHNIQUE, CONSULT YOURVOLVO Authorized DISTRIBUTOR/DEALER.

Fire prevention
WARNINGUsing the machine in environments with high risk of fire orexplosion requires special training and equipment.
There is always a risk of fire. Find out what kind of fire extinguisheris used on your working site and how to use it. If the machine isequipped with a fire extinguisher, it should be kept near theoperator’s seat on the left side of the operator.
Fire prevention measuresDo not smoke or have an open flame near a machine whenfilling with fuel or when the fuel system is opened and in contactwith the surrounding air.Diesel fuel oil is flammable and must not be used for cleaning.Use conventional car care products meant for cleaning ordegreasing. Also bear in mind that certain solvents can causeskin rashes, damage to the paint finish and constitute firehazard.Keep the place clean where the service is to be carried out. Oiland water can make the floor slippery and is also dangerous inconnection with electrical equipment or electrically poweredtools. Oily and greasy clothes are a serious fire hazard.Check daily that the machine and the equipment, for exampleunderbelly plates are free from dust and oil. Besides reducingthe risk of fire, it is also easier to detect faulty or loosecomponents.
NOTICETake great care if a high-pressure wash is used for cleaning.Electrical components and electrical leads can be damagedeven at a moderately high pressure and temperature. Protectelectrical leads in an appropriate way.
Take extra care when cleaning a machine working in a fire-sensitive environment, for example saw-mill and refuse dumps.The risk of spontaneous combustion can be further reduced byinstalling insulation of the silencer guard.It is important that the fire extinguisher is maintained in orderto work when it is needed.

Fire prevention measures
GeneralThere may always be a risk of fire. Learn the correct type of fireextinguisher to use, how to use it, and where it is kept,if themachine is equipped.If the machine is provided with a hand-held fire extinguisher, itshould meet local requirements.Any on-board fire extinguisher must be kept fully charged andin good working order at all times.
Any on-board fire fighting equipment should be considered asa complement to the operator's own fire fighting efforts. It is nota replacement.Never expose diesel fuel to open flame or smoking materials,especially when refuelling or the fuel system is open to the air.Never use diesel fuel as a cleaner, use an approved cleaningsolvent.Certain solvents are usually flammable and can cause skinrashes or other conditions. Do not inhale solvent vapours.Never use engine starting aids, especially if the machine isequipped with an automatic preheating intake air system.Ensure the machine is properly equipped for working in dry orforested areas. Equipment such as a spark arrester may berequired.At the first sign of a fire, take the following actions if the situationwill safely permit:- Drive the machine away from the danger area.- Shut down the engine with the ignition key switch.- Leave the operator platform quickly and safely.- Turn the battery disconnect switch off.- Begin extinguishing the fire and call for assistance if
required.
CleanlinessCleanliness is important to effective machine service.Contamination introduced to machine systems can shortencomponent service life and cause the machine to malfunction.Keep the service area clean. Oil or water on the floor can createa dangerous work environment, increasing the risk of falls andelectrocution. Oily and greasy clothing and shop rags are a firehazard.

The machine should be inspected daily for the build-up offlammable debris. This will reduce the chance of a fire, and willmake it easier to detect loose or leaking parts.
CAUTIONIf a high-pressure washer is used when cleaning, workcarefully since damage may be caused to electricalcomponents and insulation of the electrical cabling even atrelatively moderate water pressure and temperature. Protectelectrical cabling in a suitable manner.
Take special care to keep machines clean in applications suchas coal mines where the risk of fire is greatest. In suchapplications, suitable equipment to reduce the risk of fireshould be installed and maintained.
Electrical systemInspect wiring for chafing, breakage, and any routing conditionthat could expose wiring to damage. This is especiallyimportant for positive electrical wires that could make contactwith the frame (ground). Pay special attention to the cablesbetween the batteries, from the batteries to the starter, andbetween the alternator and starter.When reconnecting wires, it is important to connect, route andsecure them so they are protected from damage and wear.They must not be routed in contact with fuel or oil hoses.If any auxiliary electrical equipment is installed on the machine,wiring must be fused, connected and routed to avoid exposureto wear or damage.
Fuel, hydraulic and brake systemsCheck to make sure fuel, hydraulic and brake hoses are notworn or damaged, and are routed to avoid rubbing.
Welding and grinding work
CAUTIONA fire extinguisher should be easily accessible during allwelding work.
Move the machine to a clean, safe area before welding,grinding or using an oxy/acetylene torch on it. This type of workshould only be done in a clean area and not in places thatcontain combustible liquids, such as fuel tanks, hydraulic pipesor similar.Work with extra care when welding, grinding or torch cuttingnear flammable objects.Welding on painted surfaces releases dangerous fumes, andresults in a poor weld joint, that can result in failure andpotential accidents. Always remove paint from areas to bewelded. See also

Fluor rubber
WARNINGRisk of serious corrosive injuries!
WARNINGWhen hydrogen fluoride rubber is heated, there is a risk ofhydrogen fluoride gas build-up already at approx. 320 °C (610 °F).When inhaled, the gas is extremely corrosive to respiratory tracts.
Certain seals designed to withstand high operating temperatures(e.g., in engines, transmissions, axles, brakes, hydraulic motorsand pumps) may be made of fluor rubber which, when heated tohigh temperatures, generate hydrogen fluoride and hydrofluoricacid.
Hydrofluoric acid is highly acidic and corrosive. It cannot be rinsedor washed off the skin and causes very severe burn and corrosiveinjuries that take a very long time to heal. As a rule, injured tissuemust be removed surgically.
Hydrofluoric acid may remain on machine parts for a very longtime (several years) after a fire.
NOTICEIn case of contact with hydrofluoric acid, it may take several hoursbefore any symptoms appear.
If swelling, redness or burning sensations appear and contact withheated fluor rubber is suspected to be the cause, seek immediatemedical attention. If a machine or a component for a machine hasbeen exposed to fire or other intense heat it shall be handled byspecially trained personnel.
For all handling of machines after a fire, use heavy-duty glovesmade of neoprene rubber and effective safety goggles.

Special instructions for working on theelectrical system
Do not attempt to repair, test or adjust the electrical systemunless you are a qualified electrician.Use only fully charged and otherwise satisfactory batteries totest the electrical system.The battery disconnect switch should be switched to OFFposition when testing the battery acid for specific gravity usinga hydrometer.When installing or replacing a battery, make sure that thecorrect polarity is followed. Always disconnect the negative(ground) cable first and reconnect it last.Before any tests are carried out on the alternator, the batteriesand electrical leads must be checked for insulation faults, poorcontacts or corrosion. Check the alternator belts. Correct anyvisible faults before beginning electrical checks.During all tests of alternating current equipment, secureconnections must be used. One loose connection lead maydamage the alternator.Do not disconnect the main lead of the alternator or the lead toit's field winding while the engine is running. Damage mayresult.If the current output terminal of the alternator is connected tothe mainframes while the engine is running, alternator damagewill result.Before removing or fitting components in the electrical systemswitch OFF the battery disconnect switch.Before welding on the compactor machine Refer to electricwelding .
Safety when working with batteries
WARNINGRisk of serious corrosive injuries!
Batteries contain sulphuric acid which is very corrosive to thehuman body and parts of the machine. In addition, batteries giveoff hydrogen gas when they are loaded (supplying electricity) orbeing charged.Together with the oxygen in the air, hydrogen gas forms a veryexplosive mixture.
This combination, corrosive acid and explosive gas, means a highrisk of accidents during all work with batteries used in vehicles.Therefore, it is very important that you take great care and followthe rules below when you are working with batteries.

Service and maintenance
Electrical system
Follow these instructions when charging batteries:Batteries give off explosive gases. Never smoke near batteries.
Begin by disconnecting the ground lead when removing abattery. In order to reduce the risk of sparks that can cause fire,always connect the ground lead last when fitting a battery.
Never tilt a battery to any great extent in any direction. Batteryelectrolyte may leak out.
Do not connect a discharged battery in series with a fullycharged battery. The current surge can cause the batteries toexplode.
Do not allow metal objects (such as tools, rings, wristwatches)to come in contact with battery terminals. Risk of fire andpersonal injury.
Always cover the top of the battery with a rag or other non-conducting material when you work close to the batteries.
Always refit the terminal caps on the batteries.
Batteries contain substances hazardous to health and theenvironment. Therefore, discarded batteries be handledaccording to governing local/national regulations. See page111.
Explosion hazard
When a battery is being charged, a potentially explosive mixtureof oxygen and hydrogen gas is formed. A short circuit, open flameor spark near the battery can cause a powerful explosion. Alwaysturn off the main power to the battery charger beforedisconnecting the charging clamps. Ventilate the area well,especially if the battery is being charged in a confined space.

Safety when working with batteries
WARNINGRisk of serious corrosive injuries!
Batteries contain sulphuric acid which is very corrosive to thehuman body and parts of the machine. In addition, batteries giveoff hydrogen gas when they are loaded (supplying electricity) orbeing charged.Together with the oxygen in the air, hydrogen gas forms a veryexplosive mixture.
This combination, corrosive acid and explosive gas, means a highrisk of accidents during all work with batteries used in vehicles.Therefore, it is very important that you take great care and followthe rules below when you are working with batteries.
Follow these instructions when charging batteries:Batteries give off explosive gases. Never smoke near batteries.
Begin by disconnecting the ground lead when removing abattery. In order to reduce the risk of sparks that can cause fire,always connect the ground lead last when fitting a battery.
Never tilt a battery to any great extent in any direction. Batteryelectrolyte may leak out.
Do not connect a discharged battery in series with a fullycharged battery. The current surge can cause the batteries toexplode.
Do not allow metal objects (such as tools, rings, wristwatches)to come in contact with battery terminals. Risk of fire andpersonal injury.
Always cover the top of the battery with a rag or other non-conducting material when you work close to the batteries.
Always refit the terminal caps on the batteries.
Batteries contain substances hazardous to health and theenvironment. Therefore, discarded batteries be handledaccording to governing local/national regulations. See 191,Environmentally safe handling
Charging batteriesExplosion hazardWhen a battery is being charged, an explosive mixture of oxygenand hydrogen is formed. A short circuit, open flame or spark nearthe battery can cause a powerful explosion. Always turn off thecharging current before disconnecting the charging clamps.Ventilate well, especially if the battery is charged in a confinedspace.

WARNINGRisk of serious corrosive injuries!
Corrosive sulphuric acidThe battery electrolyte contains corrosive sulphuric acid.Electrolyte spilled on bare skin must be removed immediately.Wash with soap and plenty of water. If electrolyte gets into youreyes or any other sensitive body part, rinse immediately withplenty of water and seek immediate medical attention.
Battery, maintenance1 Top of the battery must be kept clean and dry.2 Petroleum jelly should be applied to cable clamps and
terminals. Do not apply grease.3 Get the fan belt, electrical wiring, alternator and regulator
setting checked regularly.4 Alternator charging voltage setting across battery terminals
must be maintained at 12.00±0.20 Volts.5 In case of any drop in electrolyte level, distilled or deionized
water. Do not add acid.
Battery Care
Keep batteries topped upMaintaining a sufficient electrolyte level ensures the electrolyte isneither too high or too low. Use distilled or deionized water andnever over fill. Maintenance free batteries will usually not requiretopping up. Low maintenance batteries require the addition ofdeionized water only once or twice per year depending onconditions.
Check electrical connectionsMake sure that the battery terminals and cable connections areclean and tight. The application of a thin layer of petroleum jellycan help reduce corrosion.
Avoid overchargingOvercharging produces rapid deterioration and corrosion whichshortens battery life. A battery needing to be topped upcontinuously with deionized water is a sure sign that the machineelectrical system requires careful checking, this may also affect amaintenance free battery.
Keep batteries clean and dryDirt on a battery's surface leads to discharge and corrosion. Avoidspilling oil or grease onto the top of the battery. To remove dirt ormoisture, wash with a solution of sodium bicarbonate and water.

PrecautionsTo avoid short circuit, metallic objects should not be placed ontop of the battery. Batteries contain hydrogen gas and air in avolatile mixture which is easily ignited.
Keep flames or sparks away from the battery at alltimesBattery contain sulphuric acid. Do not add acid to cells and keepacid away from eyes, skin, clothing or any other material whichmay become damaged. If contamination occurs, use largeamount of water to neutralize and flush acid away.
Battery liftingBattery is heavy - make sure correct lifting procedures are usedwhen moving battery.
NOTICEIt is recommended to return the old battery to the authorizedbattery manufacturer / dealer / smelter during purchase of a newbattery.
Battery storage
When a battery is at rest, there is a spontaneous electricaldischarge that increases with storage temperature. A fullycharged battery, stored at a temperature of -20°C (-4°F) losesinsignificant charge during a 3 month period. If the same batteryis stored at +30°C (86°F), it is only half charged after 3 months.To help reduce this discharge, always store batteries in a cool,dry place in an upright position.If a battery becomes severely discharged, the electrolyte canfreeze if it is stored below -7°C (+20°F). To prevent damage dueto freezing, do not allow batteries to become discharged or to bestored below -7°C (+20°F).Allowing batteries to stand for an extended period of time withoutrecharging them, will result in reduced performance and servicelife. To preserve optimum battery performance and life, rechargebatteries when the open circuit voltage drops to 12.4 volts.

WARNINGDuring battery charging, hydrogen gas is formed. Hydrogen gasis flammable and may be explosive. A short-circuit, open flame orspark near the battery can cause a powerful explosion. Therefore,ventilate well. Never smoke near batteries.
WARNINGThe battery electrolyte contains corrosive sulphuric acid.Electrolyte spilled on bare skin should be removed immediately.Wash the affected area with soap and plenty of water. Ifelectrolyte gets into your eyes or any other sensitive body part,rinse immediately with plenty of water and seek immediatemedical attention.
Battery charging
Batteries must only be charged using a battery charger.Check the battery terminal connections, and make sure thatthey are adequately tightened, and free from corrosion and dirt.Check the battery voltage, when the battery is at rest, that is,before starting, make sure that the battery must be at least half-charged.If the battery is extremely cold, allow it to come to roomtemperature, as an extremely cold battery will not accept anormal charge, until the temperature rises.
CAUTIONAlways disconnect the electric power to the battery charger beforethe charging clamps are removed.
CAUTIONAlways turn off the current to the battery charger beforedisconnecting the charging clamps.

Safety when working on hydraulic systems
The hydraulic system operates at high oil pressures. The systemmust be properly maintained to avoid the potential for accidentsand injury. It is important that each person who comes in contactwith the machine be alert to any faults.
WARNINGRisk of personal injury! Wear safety glasses and use protectivegloves.
Follow these basic precautions:Never adjust a pressure relief valve or other pressure-limitingdevice to a higher pressure than specified.Replace any hydraulic hose immediately that shows signs ofswelling, wear, leaks or damage before it bursts.Never discard a hydraulic accumulator without first carefullydrilling a 3 mm (1/8 in.) hole in the cylinder to eliminate the riskof explosion.
Releasing hydraulic pressureWhen you shut down the engine, there will still be residualpressure at various point is the hydraulic system. Neverdisconnect any hydraulic hose, fitting or component without firstrelieving residual pressure.
WARNINGIf the pressure is not released before opening the system, oilunder high pressure will jet out, resulting in serious personalinjuries.
WARNINGLeaking high-pressure hydraulic hoses may cause severeinjuries. Fine jets have high penetrating capacity on bare skin.
Never use your hands to check for oil leaks. Use a piece ofcardboard.Never tighten leaky fittings with the engine running, or beforethe residual pressure has been released.Pressure accumulators have a pressurized gas charge as wellas residual hydraulic pressure. Use extreme care whenworking with accumulators.Check valves, lock valves and similar hydraulic componentsare designed to retain pressure or oil flow.
CAUTIONAlways handle oils and other environmentally hazardous fluids inan environmentally safe manner.
Release pressure by completely moving the hydraulic controllevers back and forth several times. The hoses become "slack"when the hydraulic pressure is released.

Greasing
Bearings, greasing
The service life of bushings and pivot pins can be extendedconsiderably, if the machine is greased regularly and in a correctway.The greasing of bearings has two main purposes:
- Add grease to the bearing to reduce friction between pin andbushing.
- Replace old grease which may contain dirt. The grease in thespace inside the outer seal collects dirt and prevents dirt andalso water from penetrating into the bearing.
Manual greasing, digging unitGrease the points shown below every 50 hours or weekly. Duringthe first 100 hours, the compactor unit should be greased every10 hours or daily.
NOTICEUnder severe operating conditions where mud, water andabrasive material may enter the bearings, the compactor unitshould be greased every 10 hours or daily.
1 Wipe off grease nipples and grease gun to avoid dirt and sandentering the bearing.
2 Fill with grease until new, clean grease is forced out throughthe outer seals.
3 Operate all the cylinders to their end positions without any loadon the equipment.

General information
Lubrication is an essential part of preventive maintenance,affecting to a great extent the useful life of the unit. Periodiclubrication of the moving parts reduces to a minimum thepossibility of mechanical failures.
For maximum machine life and performance, use only genuinemanufacturer-approved lubricants. See 185 and Recommendedlubricants. Different lubricants are needed and some componentsrequire more frequent lubrication than others. It is important thatthe specific instructions regarding types of lubricants and thefrequency of their application be followed.
The lubrication and service chart shows those items requiringregular service and the interval at which they should beperformed. To obtain the maximum long-life results from themachine, a regular service program should be followed asrecommended in this manual. The suggested intervals are basedon average operating conditions. In extremely severe, dusty orwet operating conditions, more frequent lubrication may benecessary.
All oil levels are to be checked with the machine parked on a levelsurface and while the oil is cold, unless otherwise specified.
On plug-type check points, the oil levels are to be at the bottomedge of the check port.
All grease fittings are SAE standard, unless otherwise indicated.Grease non-sealed fittings until grease is seen extruding from thefitting. Grease fittings that are worn and will not hold the greasegun, or those that have a stuck check ball, must be replaced.
Over-lubrication on non-sealed fittings will not harm the fittings orcomponents. But, under lubrication will definitely lead to a shortercomponent life.
Unless otherwise indicated, items not equipped with greasefittings (linkages, pins, levers, etc.) should be lubricated with oilonce a week. Motor oil, applied sparingly, will provide thenecessary lubrication and help prevent the formation of rust. Ananti-seize compound may be used if rust has not formed.Otherwise, the component must be cleaned first.
Thoroughly wash all fittings, caps, plugs, etc. with non-flammable, non-toxic cleaning solution before servicing toprevent dirt from entering while performing the service.Lubricants must be at operating temperature before draining.During regular lubrication service, visually check the entire unitto ensure that capscrews, nuts and pins are properly secured.Spot check several capscrews and nuts for proper torque. Ifany are found loose, a more thorough investigation must bemade.Stop the machine if any function does not operate or operatesincorrectly. Report the problem to your supervisor or sitemanagement. Do not continue operations until the problem iscorrected. If necessary, contact authorized distributor forresults.

Coolant
Only use Volvo Coolant VCS when topping up or changing coolant. To avoid damage to engine and coolingsystem, different coolants or corrosion protection must not be mixed.When using concentrated Volvo Coolant VCS and clean water, the mixture should contain 40–60% concentratedcoolant and 60–40% clean water. The amount of concentrated coolant must never be less than 40% of the totalmixture, see table below.
Freeze protection down to Mixed-in amount of concentrated coolant-25 °C (-13 °F) 40 %-35 °C (-31 °F) 50%-46 °C (-51 °F) 60%
The concentrated coolant must not be mixed with water that contains a high degree of lime (hard water), salt ormetals.
The clean water for the cooling system must also meet the following requirements:
Description ValueTotal number of solid particles < 340 ppmTotal hardness < 9.5° dHChloride < 40 ppmSulphate < 100 ppmpH value 5.5-9Silica < 20 mg SiO2/litre
Iron < 0.10 mg Fe/litreManganese < 0.05 mg Mn/litreElectrical conductivity < 500 µS/cmOrganic material, COD-Mn < 15 mg/litre
If there is any doubt about the water quality use ready-mixed Volvo Coolant VCS, which contains 40%concentrated coolant. Do not mix with any other ready-mixed coolants since this may result in engine damage.
