17
 L3500 - L4700 - F7000

3.4.3 Traumas

Treatment of sprains, strains and fractures:

The joint must be immobilised in the position it is found after the trauma using stock or bandaging, supporting the less painful
position of the victim without attempting dangerous movements. Apply a cold object (a bag of ice or other). In the event of a
compound fracture, cover the wound with a sterile gauze, after having compressed the relative haemorrhage at a distance in
specific points.

Contusions, crushing:
In the event of contusion and/or crushing of the ends of upper and lower limbs (fingers, hands, toes, feet, etc.), put the injured part
under cold running water immediately and apply an instantaneous ice pack. Moreover, check if there are wounds and/or cuts in
the area affected and disinfect carefully, if necessary.

3.4.4 Haemorrhage
Direct pressure must be applied to the haemorrhage point using a sterile gauze, the limb must be raised and pressure applied
upstream from the haemorrhage using a tourniquet.

Treatment of superficial wounds:

Expose and clean the wound and wash it well, disinfect using saline solution, medicate and cover with a sterile gauze. Apply a
bandage; do not tighten excessively in order to allow correct circulation.

Treatment of deep wounds:

It is priority to protect from the risk of contamination using gloves and splashguard visor, tampon the haemorrhage with direct
pressure or using other pressure points until it stops or the ambulance arrives. Call the medical emergency number, explaining that
you are tamponing an arterial haemorrhage.
Only treat the wound when the haemorrhage is under control.

4.9 General warnings
- PROHIBITION
THE MACHINES AND THE EQUIPMENT CANNOT BE MODIFIED WITHOUT THE MANUFACTURER’S
AUTHORIZATION.
Do not modify the structure or the adjustment of the various vehicle or equipment components so as not to jeopardise own safety
and that of others. The same is valid for the deactivation or modification of the safety devices present.

- ATTENTION
Any modification made to the vehicle or equipment, relieves DIECI S.R.L. from all liability deriving from
consequent damage or injury.

Every vehicle or piece of equipment is supplied with a copy of its own manual.

- PROHIBITION
The total or partial reproduction of this manual or any attached multimedia document is prohibited.
DIECI S.R.L. all rights reserved.
Other copies of the vehicle or equipment use and maintenance manual can be obtained from their suppliers. These manuals are
drawn-up by the respective suppliers i.e. reproduced entirely and exactly by DIECI S.R.L. with their specific authorisation: they can
be enriched with further specifications drawn-up by DIECI S.R.L..
These Use and Maintenance instructions are supplied by the Dealer on delivery, in order to ensure that they are understood
correctly.
However, if parts of this manual are not understood, do not hesitate to contact your nearest Authorised dealer and ask for
clarifications.
All of the documentation supplied is an integral and essential part of the product and must be kept available to operators.
Respect for the user, maintenance and repair operations described in this manual, are fundamental elements that qualify the use
declared by the Manufacturer.
This manual assumes that the Safety and Hygiene in the Workplace Standards are complied with in the place the vehicle is to be
used.

- ATTENTION
This manual must be read and understood before the vehicle or equipment are used and the indications
given must be followed.

- ATTENTION
The vehicle manual must have been read before the manuals concerning the various equipment.

- WARNING
This Use and Maintenance Manual must be kept carefully and must always be on the vehicle. The manual
must be in the operator’s language, in a place that is easily accessible and well-known to all operators.
If the manual should become crumpled and/or become even only partly damaged or illegible, or if the manual
is lost, it must be replaced immediately by contacting the Dieci Technical Support Service, giving the general
specifications of the manual indicated in the “Introduction” chapter.
The Area Dealers supply the original spare parts and can give advice and instructions regarding assembly and use.

- ATTENTION
When spare parts are required, it is important that only original spare parts are used.
Assembly of non-original spare parts can cause damage to other components. It is therefore recommended
that customers purchase the original spare parts necessary from an Authorised Agent or Dealer.
DIECI S.R.L. is not liable for damage deriving from the use of non-original spare parts.

39
 L3500 - L4700 - F7000

- ATTENTION
If the vehicle or equipment must be used in particularly heavy duty conditions (e.g. very dusty environments
or sites, clay or muddy land), it is mandatory to consult your Local dealer in order to obtain specific instructions.
Failure to comply with the former can cause the vehicle warranty to become null and void.

- ATTENTION
Improper, incorrect or unreasonable use of the vehicle or the equipment with which it is supplied are not
allowed. Interventions that alter the structure or operation are also not allowed. Different use is prohibited
and relieves DIECI S.R.L. from any liability for injury/damage caused to persons, animals or objects.

- WARNING
DIECI S.R.L. does not respond to damage caused by negligent use of the vehicle or equipment, even if bad use
is not intentional. Everything possible was carried out in the vehicle manufacturing phase to make your job as
safe as possible. Caution is irreplaceable and there is no better rule for the prevention of accidents.

- ATTENTION
DIECI S.R.L. does not respond to damage caused by operations performed instinctively, as a reflex or in a state
of panic in the event of malfunctioning, accident or anomaly during use of the vehicle.
Respect for the user, maintenance and repair operations described in this manual, are fundamental elements that qualify the use
declared by the Manufacturer.

- ATTENTION
DIECI S.R.L. reserves the right to make any modifications to the vehicle or equipment for any technical or
marketing requirement, without forewarning.

- ATTENTION
For correct use of the vehicle components and controls specified in the following pages, refer to the specific
Use and Maintenance Manual of the same.

- ATTENTION
Do not modify the structure or adjust the safety devices of the various tool components.

- ATTENTION
Only CE certified equipment can be used on DIECI vehicles. The manufacturer will not be liable in the event of
modifications or use of equipment unbeknown to him.

- ATTENTION
Before commissioning any piece of equipment, check compatibility with the vehicle and calibration of the
safety system regarding the equipment used.

- ATTENTION
Perform periodic maintenance methodically and make notes of the vehicle functioning hours.

- ATTENTION
The right and left positions indicated in this manual refer to the view of the operator when sitting in the
driver’s seat (from the back looking forwards).

8 DESCRIPTION OF COMPONENTS

8.1 Tyres
ATTENTION
Upon receipt of the vehicle, check tyre air pressure.
- Check tyre pressure every 100 hours and every two weeks. Pressure should be checked when the tyres are cold.
- Tyre pressure must always be kept at the indicated levels.
- Check the size of the tyres installed and the ply number to ensure they are inflated to the correct pressure.

DANGER
Tyres that are torn or are excessively worn should be replaced immediately.
- Before each use, verify that the sides of the tyres are not damaged.
- Keep all oils, grease and corrosive liquids far from the tyres to prevent any damage to the rubber.
- To ensure maximum efficiency do not use tyres with more than 80% wear of the tread.

ATTENTION
Inflating or working on tyres can be dangerous.
- Whenever possible, have specialised personnel intervene on or install tyres.
- To prevent serious or mortal injury, follow the safety precautions described below.
• Vehicle tyres are very heavy. Handle with care and ensure that, once stored, they cannot fall and injure anyone.
• Never attempt to repair a tyre on a public road or motorway.
• Make sure that the car jack is positioned on a solid, flat surface.
• Make sure that the jack is suitable to support the weight of the vehicle.
• Use jack tripods or other locking devices suitable for supporting the vehicle while repairing tyres.
• Never place any part of your body under the vehicle.
• Never start up the vehicle while it is on the jack.
• Never hit a tyre with a rim or hammer.
• Make sure that the rim is clean, and that there is no rust or damage. Do not weld, braze, repair or use a damaged rim in any
way.
• Do not re-inflate a tyre which has completely turned or that is much deflated until it has been properly inspected by a
qualified technician.
• Do not inflate a tyre unless the rim is mounted on the vehicle or secured so that it will not move in the event that the tyre
or rim should suddenly break.
• Never inflate tyres in excess of the pressure indicated by DIECI. If the heel does not settle on the rim when this pressure level
is reached, deflate the tyre and lubricate with a soapy water solution, then inflate again. Do not use oil or grease. Inflation
exceeding the permitted level on unsettled heels can cause heel or rim breakage with an explosive force that can cause
serious injury.
• After having remounted the wheel, tighten the nuts between the wheel and axles. Check that nuts are tightened each day
until torque has been stabilised.

ATTENTION
When mounting a new or repaired tyre, use an adapter for the spring valve with a distance manometer which
allows the operator to keep away from the tyre during inflation. Use a safety fence system.

- PROHIBITED
Do not mount inflated tyres with polyurethane foam unless authorised by the manufacturer.

 L3500 - L4700 - F7000

8.1.1 Tighten wheel nuts

Tighten nuts in accordance with the schedule provided in the maintenance table

Use the relative table to know the correct tightening torque.

Always tighten the nuts positioned opposite each other, not consecutively.
After having remounted the wheel, tighten the nuts between the wheel and axles. Check that nuts are tightened each day until
torque has been stabilised.

ATTENTION
The number of axle studs must correspond to the number of tightened nuts. Therefore all nuts must be
mounted on each wheel; otherwise the vehicle will not operate.
In the event of tyre replacement, the vehicle or the lifted side can be set on the ground only with tyres mounted and properly
tightened.

ATTENTION
Nut tightening must be carried out first with the vehicle, or parts of it, lifted from the ground, and then with
the vehicle on the ground.
Only use original DIECI nuts to tighten the wheels. Should even just a single nut be lost, contact the DIECI service centre.

8.2 Fuel
Before handling fuel and filling the tank, comply with the following regulations:

- PROHIBITED
Never add different types of fuel to the diesel, such as: petrol, alcohol.

- PROHIBITED
It is forbidden to top-up while the engine is running.
- Clean the area around the fuel cap. Refill the fuel tank at the end of every day to reduce condensation when the vehicle is at rest.
- Water and sediments must be removed before they reach the engine.
- Do not use anti-freeze to remove water from the diesel.
- Do not rely on the filter to remove water from the diesel.
- Never leave the tank without a cap and always lock it. Should you lose the original cap, replace it with an original spare. Not just
any cap is suitable.
- Monitor the dispenser while filling the tank.

- IT IS FORBIDDEN TO SMOKE AND HAVE OPEN FLAMES

It is forbidden to smoke when topping-up.
- Do not inspect the tank with a flame.
- Do not fill up the tank completely. Leave room for expansion and immediately clean any spills.
- Before welding the tank or its components, ensure that they contain no fuel.
- In the event of fuel leaks due to breakage, stop the leak as quickly as possible and contact DIECI customer service.

- DANGER: HARMFUL FUMES

Inhale diesel fumes for the least time possible as they are carcinogenic and hazardous to health.

111
 L3500 - L4700 - F7000

8.2.1 Specifications for recommended fuel

Good performance is achieved by using high quality fuel. Recommended fuel specifications are provided here below.

Cetane number
• Cetane number Minimum 45.
The cetane number indicates ignition properties.
Fuel with a lower cetane number may cause problems when starting up the engine cold and could affect combustion.

Viscosity
• Viscosity 2/4.5 centistokes at 40°C.
Viscosity is the flow resistance; if the degree of viscosity is beyond the limits, it might affect engine performance.

Density
• Density 0.8201860 kg/litre at 15°C
A lower density reduces engine power; higher density increases engine power and the smokiness of exhaust fumes.

Sulphur
• Sulphur 0.20% in weight, maximum.
High sulphur content wears the engine and increases pollution.

Distillation
• Distillation 85% at 350°C.
Distillation is an indication of the blend of different hydrocarbons in the fuel. A high proportion of light-weight hydrocarbons
might affect the combustion characteristics.

Fuel for low temperatures

If the engine must run at temperatures below 0°C, special winter fuels can be used. These fuels have a lower degree of viscosity
and restrict the formation of paraffin in the fuel. The formation of paraffin prevents the fuel from passing through the filter.

112
8.2.2 Cleaning and storing fuel
It is important for the fuel to be kept clean.
The advice provided below will help maintain fuel quality.
- Never use zinc-coated containers.
- Never clean the inside of containers or power supply
system components with cloths that leave deposits.
- The cistern capacity (figure at the side) must allow intervals
between refuelling not to be too long. A capacity of 3,000
litres is sufficient for an average sized company.
- The storage cistern must be covered and placed on a
support that is high enough to allow refuelling by means
of gravity. A large basin must be placed under the cistern
in case of fuel leakage. The cistern must also have an
opening large enough to allow someone to access it for
cleaning purposes.
- The delivery tap must be larger at the bottom in order
to trap any deposits; it must also be equipped with a
removable filter. The cistern must be tilted 40 mm per
metre towards the sedimentation drain plug.
- The fuel barrels (figure at the side) must be covered when
stored to prevent water infiltration. They must also be
slightly tilted so that any water runs to the upper rim. The
fuel barrels must not be stored for too long before being
used.
- Barrels kept outside must have their caps closed tightly to
prevent water infiltration.
- After refuelling the storage cisterns or barrels, it is
recommended to allow the fuel to set for at least two hours,
thereby allowing any sediment of water and impurities to
be deposited before the fuel is used.

113
 L3500 - L4700 - F7000

8.2.3 Refuelling
Proceed as follows to refuel (Fig. 1-H02-11):
- Park the vehicle and switch the engine off
- Go to the back of the vehicle and open then nozzle to
access the fuel filler cap
- Open the fuel cap
- Refuel
- Close the fuel cap
- Close the nozzle

8.4 Battery
- DANGER: BATTERY EXPLOSION
To prevent the batteries from exploding:
• Keep sparks, open flames and cigarettes away from the upper part of the batteries as the gas produced by the latter is highly
flammable.
• Do not recharge damaged batteries.
• Do not charge a hot battery.

- DANGER: HARMFUL SUBSTANCES

Batteries contain highly polluting substances that must not be disposed of in the environment.
Batteries that are flat, old, damaged, etc. must be disposed of properly.

- DANGER: CORROSIVE SUBSTANCES

The battery contains sulphuric acid electrolyte, which is a corrosive substance that must be handled with
utmost caution as it can cause poisoning and serious burns.
Keep out of reach of children.
Avoid contact with skin and eyes.

- ATTENTION
Wear protective clothing, gloves and goggles. Should contact be made with the eyes and skin, rinse
immediately with plenty of water and consult a doctor. If swallowed, immediately contact a doctor.
- Do not overturn or tilt the battery: acid could come out.
- Recharge the battery in a well-ventilated place and always disconnect the power supply before disconnecting the terminals.
- Always use a voltmeter or a densimeter to check the battery charge. Use a torch to check the level of electrolyte and never an
open flame.
- Never place a metal object between the terminals to check the battery charge.
- Do not generate sparks with the wire terminals while recharging the battery or start the vehicle engine with an auxiliary battery.
- Make sure the caps and vent covers are fitted correctly and tightened securely.
- Clean the upper part of the battery, make sure the terminals are tightened securely and cover them with a thin layer of Vaseline.
- Should the battery freeze, place it in a warm place and allow it to thaw. Do not use or recharge it: risk of explosion.
- In normal conditions, the battery is kept charged by the vehicle alternator. Should the battery be discharged completely due
to prolonged inactivity or having reached the end of its life, the alternator can no longer “regenerate” it. The battery must be
replaced and recharged by means of a special battery charging instrument.

- ATTENTION
Before performing any maintenance on the car, disconnect the power supply using the Battery switch.

117
 L3500 - L4700 - F7000

8.4.1 Low maintenance batteries

Low maintenance batteries have been designed to avoid frequent routine maintenance interventions. Check the level of electrolyte
if discharged. Contact the supplier or the manufacturer for the technical specifications.

8.4.2 “Zero maintenance” batteries

These are batteries that do require maintenance.
The battery must be replaced once it is completely discharged. Contact the supplier or the manufacturer for the technical
specifications.

- PROHIBITED
Do not perform maintenance or recovery operations on “zero maintenance” batteries.

118
8.4.3 Battery: Recharging the battery
- A battery is fully charged if, at a constant temperature, the electrolyte density and the voltage measured at the poles does not
increase within 2 hours.
- The efficiency of each recharge depends on the general conditions of the battery itself. An old battery will not be able to obtain
the same life and efficiency as a new battery after recharging.
- The simplest recharging method is to charge at constant power.
- Once charging is complete, the battery charger voltage increases and creates gasification. We recommend using simple battery
chargers with minimum current control and a switch-off timer.
- If the battery has a low level of electrolyte, top-up to the minimum level (just above the plate limit) and then charge. Fill up to
the maximum level once charging is complete (to prevent spills).
- Overcharging must be avoided because:
• It is a loss of energy that causes water dissociation.
• It produces a loss of active mass due to electrode deterioration.
• It generates the risk of explosion.
- If sulphuric batteries are recharged with no voltage limit, they will boil and heat, thereby generating the risk of explosion.
- Old batteries (sulphuric in most cases) must be charged with caution. An increase in temperature is also possible at 13.8 Volts.

Follow the instructions below to charge the battery:

1. Disconnect the wires of the vehicle from the battery to protect the electrical system of the vehicle.
2. Place the battery at a safe distance from the vehicle.
3. Remove the caps, if possible.
4. Where possible, check the level of electrolyte.
5. Clean the poles.
6. Make sure the area is sufficiently ventilated.
7. Limit the charging current to a maximum of 1/10 of the battery capacity (Ah).
8. Connect the battery to the battery charger.
9. Connect the battery charger to the mains.
10. Switch the battery charger on.
11. Battery temperature must not exceed 55°C.
12. Switch the battery charger off when finished.
13. Disconnect the battery charger from the mains.
14. Disconnect the battery from the battery charger.
15. Where possible, check the level of electrolyte.
16. Refit the caps.

- WARNING
Before starting to operate with the vehicle it is necessary to become familiar with the position and operation
of all controls and instruments in a free working area without obstacles or staff, independently from the
experience of the operators.

- ATTENTION
Make sure all safety checks described are performed before starting every job.

- WARNING
During work phases or movement, the luminous signals must work constantly in order to warn staff that the
vehicle is moving.

- ATTENTION
Always maintain the safety distance suitable for the type of job and to the persons or objects present in the
work area.
Always look in the direction of movement and maintain good visibility of the route.

126
- DANGER
Do not reach excessive speeds.
Do not drive with the brake pedal pressed.

- DANGER
Do not use the force of impact of the vehicle to perform jobs. These vehicles are not designed for this use.
Use of this type could lead to the vehicle rolling over, damage or breakage of some components and tools or
serious injury to the operator.

It is mandatory to read and understand the “Safety Standards” chapters before reading the “Maintenance”
chapter.

- PROHIBITION
It is prohibited to start vehicle maintenance if you have not read and understood this chapter.

Consult the Maintenance Register to find out about maintenance operations and maintenance times.

- ATTENTION
All maintenance operations must be recorded in the relevant Maintenance Register.

- ATTENTION
Whenever operating in corrosive environments, it is important to intervene with suitable and timely
maintenance in order to prevent excessive wear of the vehicle.

- ATTENTION
Use suitable PPD during the various control and maintenance operations of the vehicle.

- PROHIBITION
In the event of malfunction, do not use the vehicle until it has been repaired.

- ATTENTION
Every modification made to the vehicle leads to a new verification of conformity. This procedure is also valid
in the event of repairs using non-original spare parts.

The operator may only carry out the following checks: liquid level check, air filter cleaning, tyre pressure
check. These operations must be performed in compliance with safety standards as described in this manual.

168
12.1.1 Avoid accidents during maintenance
- Always keep the work site clean and organised in order to guarantee safe operation of the vehicle.
- Do not leave tools or other instruments laying around in a disorderly fashion at the work site.
- Clean traces of grease, oil and other substances that could cause slipping.
- Always deposit cloths soaked with grease and/or inflammable materials in a safe container to ensure safety at the work site.
- Only use attachments that are appropriate for the job and ensure their proper use. The use of damaged, defective, unsuitable
and poor quality equipment may cause serious injury.
- Do not hit the vehicle or its parts with a hammer or any other instrument, as projected fragments could cause injury.
- If inspection or maintenance is carried out on vehicles which are still covered with mud, oil, etc., operators risk sliding or falling
and the analysis of components is made more difficult. Carefully clean the vehicle before repair or maintenance work is carried
out.
- Ensure you are familiar with maintenance procedures before starting work.
- Keep the work zone clean and dry.
- Do not lubricate or perform maintenance with the engine running.
- Replace faulty or worn components.
- Eliminate any grease and oil accumulations and deposits.
- The knurled plates (bulb plates) and the cab floor are the only parts of the vehicle that can be stepped on: use a ladder (suitable
for the purpose intended) for maintenance parts that cannot be reached from the ground.

- DANGER
Do not perform maintenance with the engine running. Should maintenance need to be performed with the
engine running, ask at least two workers for help and observe the follow these instructions:
• One worker must always be seated in the driver’s seat, ready to switch off the engine at any time.
• All operators must keep in touch with each other.
• Take care not to remain entrapped in components during the execution of operations performed on the fan, fan belt or
other rotating parts.
• Do not touch levers or control pedals. Should a lever or pedal need to be moved, always warn operators first so they can
move out of harm’s way.
• Do not allow instruments or other objects to fall into the vehicle’s moving parts, as these parts may break and be projected
out causing danger.
• The vehicle must be outdoors if the engine is running. The vehicle can only be indoors with the engine running if the room
is well ventilated and the vehicle is fitted with appropriate purifiers.

- ATTENTION
If operating under lifted mobile parts (booms, buckets, etc...), block with spacers positioned on the cylinder
rods or rest on appropriately dimensioned supports.
If you need to perform repair or maintenance work under the vehicle, firmly support the equipment being
used and the vehicle with blocks and supports that are solid enough to support the weight.
- Store attachments removed from the vehicle in a safe place where they do not risk falling. Take precautions to prevent
unauthorized persons from approaching the storage area.

169
 L3500 - L4700 - F7000

- ELECTRIC PLANT HAZARD

Do not rest metal pieces on the battery.
- The welding operations must also be performed by qualified welders and in a place having suitable equipment. There is danger
of gas leaks, fire or electrocution during welding operations; Do not allow unqualified personnel to carry out such operations.
- Disconnect the battery wires before working on the electrical system or before carrying out arc welding on the vehicle.
- When carrying out electric welding, connect the earth of the welding machine as close as possible to the area to be welded,
and prevent the electric current from passing through ball bearings, articulated joints, hydraulic cylinders or sliding parts. If
welding must be done in proximity to the oil or fuel tank, empty the tanks before welding.

- ENTRAPMENT HAZARD
Entrapment in moving parts can create damage. To prevent accidents, ensure that no part of the body, hair,
clothing become entrapped when working near to moving parts.

- EXHAUST GAS HAZARD

The exhaust gases are toxic and can damage health.

- DANGER
The vehicle must be outdoors if the engine is running.
The vehicle can only be indoors only if the room is well ventilated and the vehicle is fitted with appropriate
purifiers.

- PRESSURISED LIQUID HAZARD

After operation, the engine cooling liquid is hot and under pressure. Contact with hot water or steam may
cause serious burns.
- Do not attempt to loosen connections, tubes, or hydraulic components when circuits are under pressure.
- Avoid possible injury caused by jets of hot water.
- Do not remove the cap from the radiator until the engine is cold.
- Discharge all of the pressure before removing the cap.
- Prevent burns caused by oil or other hot parts during inspection or discharge by allowing the oil to cool down to a temperature
at which you can touch the cap with your hands, before beginning operation.
- Even after the oil has cooled down, slightly loosen the cover or cap before removing it to mitigate pressure inside.

- BURNS HAZARD
Pay attention to burns. The engine oil, reducer oil and hydraulic plant oil, the piping, the engine and all other
components heat up during use of the vehicle. Wait for the components to cool before starting maintenance
and repairs.
- Fluids such as pressurised fuel or hydraulic oil can penetrate the skin and eyes, causing serious injury. Take care to avoid these
risks when repairing or doing maintenance work on the vehicle.
- Discharge the pressure (using the hydraulic levers of the distributors) before disconnecting or repairing pipes and hydraulic
parts.

- DANGER
When any hydraulic hoses must be disconnected, loosen the fittings slowly in case any residual pressure is
released.

170
 - PRESSURISED LIQUID HAZARD
Hydraulic energy accumulators are mounted on the machine. Make sure any internal pressure has been
discharged before working on them. Danger of high pressure oil spray.
- Before restarting the engine, ensure that all connections have been properly tightened.
- Look for seepage using a piece of cardboard; always make sure that the body is protected against pressurised fluids.
- Any fluids that penetrate the skin must be removed surgically. Should there be an accident, seek medical attention immediately.

- PROHIBITION
Never touch the air conditioning refrigerant.
- Air conditioning refrigerant splashed in eyes can cause blindness and may cause freezing if it touches skin.
- When cleaning with compressed air, serious injury may be caused by flying particles.

12.3.22 Air filter: Cleaning and replacing

- ATTENTION
Inspection, cleaning and replacement must be
carried out with the vehicle in the maintenance
position.
An air filter (Fig. 1-M04-00, pos.1) in poor condition leads to
reduced power, excessive fuel consumption and a shortened 1
engine life.
Filter clogging is signalled by an optical indicator relative to
the filter itself (Fig. 1-M04-00, pos.2) or the corresponding
indicator on the dashboard lighting up.
2
Maintenance or a new filter is required when the indicator
remains blocked in the red position as this means it is clogged.
After the due interventions have been performed, press the
upper part of the indicator to bring this back to the idle state.

- ATTENTION 1-M04-00
Operations can continue for no more than 1
hour once clogging is indicated.

- WARNING
It is recommended to:
- Clean the filters only when the indicator signals clogging
or at preset scheduled intervals. Unnecessary and frequent
cleaning exposes the components to handling damage,
which can allow dust and dirt to exceed the filtering phase,
thereby causing damage to the engine.
- Filtering components must be replaced if they come into
contact with any type of liquid.
- Regularly check that the bolts and clamps are tightened
properly. No air must be allowed to circulate in the engine
without having first passed through the filter.
For complete filter efficiency, it is recommended to operate
with the filter complete with all its parts and components
assembled correctly.
Any worn part must be replaced as soon as possible.

188
Removing the air filter
Set the vehicle in the maintenance position before performing
the following (Fig. 2-M04-00):
1. Loosen knob “1” anti-clockwise and remove cover “2”.
2. Remove knob “3” by turning it anti-clockwise so as to
6
remove pre-filter “4”.
4
3. Remove pre-filter “4”.
4. Remove filter “6” from the casing by loosening bolt ”5”. 2
5. Clean or replace the filters and refit them all by following
the same instructions in inverse order, taking care not
to tighten the bolts and knobs excessively. 7 5
6. When assembling cover “2”, valve “7” must always be
in the lowest part with respect to the filter. Otherwise,
3
the expulsion functionality is compromised, thereby
reducing the life of the filter.

Cleaning the engine air filter 2-M04-00

The filter is cleaned with compressed air at a maximum of 3

Bar and at a minimum distance of 150 mm, paying utmost
attention so as not to damage the filtering components.
Clean the sheet metal cover and box with a wet cloth that
does not leave residue.

Replacing the engine air filter sealing ring

A sealing ring is located inside the closing mechanism of
the cover in order to prevent draughts of air. The rubber
with which it is made of tends to deteriorate due to the
atmospheric agents, and must therefore be replaced when
cracks appear. Use a small flat screwdriver to remove it and
insert a new seal by inserting it in its seat by exerting slight
pressure. The sealing ring will be then made to fit in properly
when the cover is refitted.

- WARNING
Do not use screwdrivers or other sharp or
pointed tools that could damage the sealing
ring when inserting it.

14 CLEANING
Cleaning the vehicle and all its components is fundamental for it to be kept in proper working order.

14.1 Cleaning the vehicle

Proceed as follows for a correct cleaning process:
- Switch the engine off, remove the ignition key and wait until the various components cool down.
- Wear the suitable protective clothing (gloves, masks, overalls, etc.).
- Do not use flammable liquids, acids or products that may chemically attack the vehicle components.
- Use water to soften dirt that sticks to the surface.
- Ask your DIECI dealer for touch-up paint to repair minor defects in the vehicle’s bodywork.
- Check that all the safety stickers are present. Replace any that have been lost or removed for cleaning purposes.
- Use a pressure washer to clean the external part of the vehicle and the engine compartment, bearing the following in mind:
• Make sure the top-up caps (radiator, oil tank, fuel tank, etc.) are closed well.
• Adequately protect the control units and the connectors from water infiltration.
• Do not operate with a pressure and water temperature that exceeds 100 bar and 80°, respectively.
• Hold the washer nozzle at a minimum distance of 40 cm from the relative surface.
• Do not direct the jet at any single point but wash with wide strokes.
• The inside of the vehicle is delicate and cannot be cleaned with a pressure washer.

- PROHIBITED
It is strictly forbidden to clean the stickers on the vehicle with solvents or petrol as they could fade. Additional
labels to the warning and safety stickers must always be treated in the same way.

- ELECTRICAL COMPONENTS
- If a pressurised jet is used, try not to wet the electrical components, such as the alternator and the starter motor.
- If water accidentally falls into the electrical system, it could cause the vehicle to malfunction.
- Do not use water or steam to clean the electrical system, sensors or connectors.

- MECHANICAL COMPONENTS
- Do not clean moving or overheated parts. Let the parts cool down as a temperature excursion may damage them.

14.2 Cleaning the windows

- The cab windows, lights and rear view mirrors must be washed often with soapy water.
- Dry thoroughly, once washed; do not leave any stains or marks that could limit or obstruct the operator’s visibility.

205
 L3500 - L4700 - F7000

14.3 Cleaning the cab

- Clean soft upholstery in the cab with a cloth that has been dipped in a solution of water and detergent and then thoroughly
wrung.
- The driver’s seat and the floor must be cleaned with a vacuum cleaner and/or a stiff brush. If necessary, use a damp cloth to
remove any stubborn stains.
- Clean the seat belt with a sponge that has been soaked in hot soapy water, and let it dry on its own.
- Fabric-covered seats must be cleaned with a stiff brush or vacuum cleaner. Plastic seats must be cleaned with a damp cloth.

- ELECTRICAL COMPONENTS
Do not use water jets inside the cab.

206
14.4 Cleaning the safety decals
- ATTENTION
To ensure correct interpretation, check that they are in the correct position and are always clean.

- DANGER
Clean them when they are covered in mud, cement or debris.

- PROHIBITION
Do not clean the signs on the vehicle using solvents or benzene; the decals could fade. Additional decals to
those regarding attention and safety must always be treated in the same way.

207
 L3500 - L4700 - F7000

14.5 Cleaning the drum

Proceed as follows to clean the drum correctly:
1. Stop the vehicle on level ground
2. Raise the drum completely
3. Lower the loading shovel to the ground
4. Set the gear lever to neutral (position “N”)
5. Engage the parking brake
6. Set the drum rotation in the mixture direction
7. Clean the drum from the inside and out using the special washer nozzle or pressure washer (if present) at a safe distance
from the vehicle
8. Once cleaned, set the drum rotation in the unloading direction to drain any water a mixture residue.
9. Lower the drum
10. Raise the loading shovel

- ATTENTION
Never leave mixture residue inside the drum in order to prevent it from solidifying and adhere to internal blades.

- PROHIBITED
It is strictly forbidden to use hammers, chisels or other tools to remove mixture residue from the drum or
other parts of the vehicle.

- PROHIBITED
It is strictly forbidden to climb on to the machine or inside the drum during the washing operations.

- WARNING
It is recommended to remove any mixture residue from inside the drum by placing medium-sized bowls with water
inside the drum, by means of the loading shovel, and let the drum rotate in the mixture direction for a few minutes.

If the drum needs to be thoroughly cleaned from the inside, contact an authorised DIECI workshop.
