REFERENCE TORQUES
Tightening torques to Works Standard M 3059

With the exception of subordinate or tacking connections, screw connections without specially prescribed
tightening torques should always be tightened using standard workshop torque wrenches or precision nut
runners.
The tightening torques applied should not differ from the specified settings by more than 15%.
Note on using the tables

For strength pairings other than those given, use the tightening torque for the part in the lower strength
class (e.g. bolt in strength class 8.8, nut in strength class 10; the tightening torque is determined from the
8.8/8 column).
When tightening a part with a slot onto a part with a round hole, work from the side with the round hole.
Important note regarding collars with ribbed head contact surface (e.g. Verbus Ripp):
Wherever possible, always tighten (to the applicable torque for the component concerned) on the side
of the harder material when tightening soft components against hard ones.
Only use ribbed locking bolts in conjunction with steel washers on slots or components made from
light alloy.
When re-assembling (e.g. following repairs), always use new bolts or nuts on the tightening side.
When tightening galvanised ribbed locking bolts onto components made from nodular cast iron (GGG)
or from less hard materials, increase the settings indicated by approx. 15%.
Under certain circumstances (e.g. unfavourable surface pairing with very low coefficient of friction), the
bolt may tear or the nut thread may be damaged when tightening galvanised bolts. In such cases, reduce
the tightening torque as necessary; however, the tightening torque must not be below 85% of the
reference value.

Note: A new oil filter is also fitted each time the
engine oil is changed.
When the oil is changed, you may notice that a

quantity of used oil (0.3 litres when ECAS is at
normal level and vehicle is parked on the flat)
remains in the oil sump overflow area. This is due to
the shape of the oil sump. The actual quantity
depends on how far the vehicle is lowered at the
rear.
If ECAS is fitted, you should raise the rear of the
vehicle as far as possible when changing the oil so
that all of the used oil can flow out.
Note: The vehicle must be standing on a flat,

level surface when the oil level is measured!
If necessary, switch ECAS (electronically
controlled air suspension) to the normal level,
see sections 3.00 and 3.10/3.11 "ECAS" in the
Operator's Manual

The oil level is measured every 10 seconds when the

ignition is switched on. This measured value is
stored and can be called up on the driver's display.
If the engine is started and stopped, there is then a
delay to allow the engine oil to flow back into the oil
sump. The length of this delay depends on the
engine oil temperature, see "Delay" table on page
1.20 - 5.

pressure has been reached.
Stop the engine

Note: After the engine has been running, there will

be up to 2 to 5 litres of engine oil in the engine
block, depending on viscosity, engine oil
temperature and time. This oil flows back into
the oil sump after the engine is stopped.
The time the oil takes to flow back into the
sump depends heavily on the viscosity and the
temperature. The correct oil level can only be
measured once all the oil in the engine has
flowed back into the oil sump.
The "Delay" table (page 1.20 - 5) indicates the
delay required before the correct oil level can
be ascertained. This delay depends on the
engine oil temperature at the time the engine
is stopped.

COOLANT MIXING RATIO
Vehicle with PriTarder:

In the case of the PriTarder, the coolant
2
composition deviates from the MAN
standard and is 50% tap water and 50%
BASFGlysantin G48. The composition
does not depend on the application
temperature.
Failure to ensure the correct coolant
composition will almost certainly lead to
PriTarder damage.
Check the concentration of the coolant before the

onset of cold weather and increase it if necessary.
The coolant is a mixture of water and anti-freeze with
corrosion protection (to Works Standard MAN 324).
Note: In the case of individual applications for which

the use of antifreeze is not a specified 2
requirement (e.g. in the tropics), always
ensure that a corrosion protection agent is
used (as per Works Standard MAN 248). The
change interval for this coolant depends on
the type of corrosion protection agent used,
see page 5.

Checking the corrosion protection agent

(to MAN 248)
In the case of individual applications for which the
use of antifreeze is not a specified requirement (e.g.
in the tropics, stationary engines), always ensure
that a corrosion protection to MAN 248 is used.
Mixtures of antifreeze MAN 324 and

corrosion protection agent MAN 248 are
not permitted.
Drain all the coolant when changing from antifreeze

to corrosion protection agent or vice versa. It is not
necessary to flush the system.
The following corrosion protection agents are

currently approved by MAN:
Fleetguard DCA II Fluid
Texaco Havoline XLI (ETX 6282)
In the case of Fleetguard DCA II Fluid, the following

applies:
Change all the coolant after 1 year or 1500
operating hours, whichever comes first.
Check the concentration of Fleetguard DCA II
Fluid using FleetguardTestKit 3300846 S every
300 operating hours.
Ensure the concentration is between 0.8 and
1.5 DCA II units per 4 litres of water, equivalent to
240 to 450 ml of fluid to 10 litres of water (2.4 to
4.5% by volume).
In the case of Texaco Havoline XLI (ETX 6282), the

following applies:
Change all the coolant after 2 years or 3000

Cut the new PA pipeline to the desired size

Only use a plastic cutting shears (MAN no.

assembly. It is not necessary to rework the cut, e.g.
deburring on the inside and outside.
Mark the required connection insert depth

(19.5 mm) on the PA pipeline that is to be fitted
This enables an immediate visual check for ensuring
correct PA pipeline assembly.
Do not heat the PA pipeline when

routing it under any circumstances!
Keep the PA pipelines well away from
any sources of heat.
Route the PA pipeline so that it is free from kinks, 5

provided by the round rings and the toothed ring
within the connection system.
Briefly pull back the PA pipeline so that the holding
edges running around the inside of the plug

CHECKING THE OIL LEVEL

General requirements for the oil level check with
gearbox oil cold or hot:
Apply the parking brake
Shift the gearbox to neutral "N"

check the oil.
Y16412X3
Main oil level check at operating temperature

Checking the gearbox oil level when the oil is hot (80
to 90 C) and the engine idling is the most accurate
method; the best time to perform the check is after a
journey has been completed.
The idling speed should be set between 1

500 and 700 rpm. It must never be below
450 rpm!
Run the engine at idling speed

Check the oil level on the dipstick ()
After approx. 2 minutes, the oil level must be within
the "warm zone 80 to 90 C" markings 1 , add fresh
oil as necessary.
Preliminary oil level check

This oil level measurement is taken with the gearbox
oil cold under the following exceptional
circumstances:
After an oil or filter change
After repairs to the gearbox in the vehicle:
e.g. removal of the oil sump, hydraulic control or
oil cooler etc.
If the vehicle has not been used for some time or
when taking possession of another vehicle
When a gearbox is operated for the first time
The main oil level check must then always be
performed at operating temperature!
The preliminary oil level check involves a 2-step

process:
1.) Check before starting the engine
2.) Check after starting the engine
1. Check before starting the engine 2

Check the oil level on the dipstick ()
The oil level must be within or above the "standstill
zone neng=0" 2 markings.
Do not drain any oil if the level is higher than this!
WA 74 (3rd) 2.50 - 1
2. Check after starting the engine
Gearbox damage!
After a cold start at sub-zero
temperatures, the dipstick must be
immersed in the oil to a depth of at least
10 mm. You must not run the gearbox
warm unless this is the case.
Run the engine at idling speed for about 3 to

5 minutes
Then check the oil level on the dipstick () 3
The oil level must be within the "cold zone 30 C"
markings 3 .
The main oil level check must then be performed at
operating temperature, see page 1!

General information
The vehicle and the setting instrument must be
standing on a flat, level surface. Only check and
adjust the headlight settings when the vehicle is
unladen and the tyres have been inflated to the
specified pressure.
When adjusting the headlights, also refer to the
headlight setting plate 1 (co-driver side) and the
"Headlight beam adjustment" table MAN
no. 81.25000-8358 (also see Operator's Manual).
Use the Torx T20 tool for all adjustment work.
Checking (general description)

In the case of vehicles with manual headlight
beam adjustment, the adjuster must be in
position "0" (), see Operator's Manual for setting.
In the case of vehicles with automatic headlight
beam adjustment (LWR) and xenon headlights,
the adjustment feature must be deactivated using
MAN-Cats before adjusting the headlights
(position "0").
Checking/adjustment can be performed using an

optical setting instrument (see the operating
instructions provided by the manufacturer
concerned) or a white screen (wall) positioned 10 m
away and parallel to the front of the vehicle.
The following general description is based on a left-

hand drive vehicle with asymmetrical driving lights. I

TYRES
TYRES
The particular design top speed and permitted axle
load limit vary. In view of this, tyres of various
qualities may be needed on the individual axles (see
the entry on the vehicle documents/data sheet).
Depending on the tyre manufacturer
and tyre tread, tyres which have the
same nominal size have widely
differing diameters and widths.
Therefore, make sure there is enough
clearance available when using the
spare wheel, changing to different
tyres and buying replacements, etc. Y16600X1
Clearance may also be severely

restricted due to the vehicle body.
No liability is accepted for damage
caused by insufficient clearance.
If the spare wheel is constantly in use,
make sure that the tyre is of the
specified quality!
All the vehicle's tyres must correspond
to the entry on the vehicle data sheet.
Tyres for all-wheel drive vehicles!

If the vehicle has all-wheel drive, always use tyres
of the same design, size (rolling circumference),
tread configuration and make.
The rolling circumference of the tyres on the front
and rear axles should not differ by more than 2%.
Otherwise this will cause stresses in the driveline
when the front axle/permanent all-wheel drive is
engaged and the interaxle differential is locked.
This causes a substantial reduction in active safety
and driving dynamics, and the tyres can be
expected to wear at an accelerated rate.
1
Changing to different tyres
Also see Operator's Manual!
Plate 1 is located in the entrance area
If 385/65 R 22.5 tyres are fitted on the Y84600U1

front axle of a vehicle with full air
suspension, these tyres must not
exceed a maximum width of 390 mm.
If you change from 315/70 R 22.5 or
smaller tyres to 315/80 R 22.5 or larger
tyres, you must use intermediate rings
or wider wheel flanges.
Please contact your MAN Service
workshop beforehand.

GENERAL INFORMATION
Observe the relevant national work
safety and accident prevention
regulations.
Before tipping, ensure that there are no
bulk goods or freight on the loading
area.
Only tip if the vehicle is standing on a
flat, level and stable surface.
In the case of 4-axle vehicles, the
steering must be in the straight-ahead
position to prevent damage to the
wheel nut caps when the "Bordmatik"
automatic unloading system wall is
fully folded down.
Ensure that the insert pins are
correctly seated when tipping!
No-one is allowed to stand in the tipper
or side wall operating area.
The operator must observe the correct
tipping and lowering procedure and
not move away from the tipper valve
actuator so that immediate action can
be taken in an emergency.
Standing or working beneath a non-
supported tipper body puts lives at risk
and is therefore prohibited!
Always make sure that the safety
supports are attached so that they
cannot slip!
Do not perform maintenance work
unless the engine is stopped.
Do not increase the hydraulic system
operating pressure set by the
manufacturer.
Follow environmental protection
guidelines!

Raise the tipper body until the side tipper body

support can be engaged
Support the tipper body
Remove the cover 1 from the oil tank
Close the stopcock beneath the oil tank (by turning
the screw anti-clockwise as far as the stop)
Undo the suction line 2 on the tipper pump
Collect the used oil in a suitable container
Re-open the stopcock beneath the oil tank (by
turning the screw clockwise as far as the stop)
Allow the remaining oil to drain off until oil no 2
longer flows (insignificant quantity can remain in
the system)
Re-attach the suction line 2
During short operating cycles (e.g. tipper

mode), the hydraulic temperature is the
same as the ambient temperature. The
hydraulic oil temperature does not
increase in this instance; therefore, it is
very important to choose a hydraulic oil
with the correct rated viscosity.
Fill the oil tank approx. full with new hydraulic oil,
leaving the oil screen in the filler neck whilst doing
so

The oil level should be between 4 cm and 5 cm
above the bottom of the oil tank.
Note: If the final tipping angle is not reached during

this check, top up the oil and repeat the entire
procedure several times to flush out any air
remaining in the press and lines; make sure
you take the necessary safety precautions
whilst doing this!
Then check the oil level again.
Extract some of the oil if the oil level is too
high.
The air channels and air filter disc in

the tank cap must be kept clean.
Do not direct the water jet at the tank
cap when washing the vehicle.

CONDENSER
Cleaning
Regularly clean the condenser () to remove dust,
insects, foliage etc; otherwise the cooling power will
diminish.
See "COOLING AND HEATING SYSTEM" section

Blow out the condenser fins () using compressed
air, depending on how dirty they are
If the dirt build-up is heavy or greasy, clean the fins
using a solution of water and P3Begesol cleaning
additive (MAN part no. 09.210020248) mixed 1:1
Use a spray gun to spray the cleaning fluid straight
at the fins and make the spray jet as concentrated
as possible
Leave to act for about 5 minutes
Flush out with a concentrated jet of tap water
Repeat the procedure if the fins are very dirty!
Condensation drain openings

Check the condensation drain openings for free
water passage/dirt build-up and clean them if
necessary

MAINTENANCE SYSTEM GENERAL INFORMATION
GENERAL INFORMATION ON THE

MAINTENANCE SYSTEM (special equipment) 1
The task of the maintenance system is to
recommend maintenance (service) based on an
analysis of measured data and/or statutory
regulations.
The following systems are available for calculating
the service dates:
Flexible maintenance system

The flexible maintenance system allows you to
operate each major component until it reaches its
maximum permitted mileage.
In contrast to the time-based maintenance system,
this system displays the remaining permitted
mileage separately for each major component.
New vehicles are already pre-programmed with
the time-based maintenance system. 2
Time-based maintenance system

The MAN workshop dates and the statutory
test/inspection dates coincide so as to reduce the MENU
number of visits to the workshop.
LAMP TEST
Note: Only MAN Service workshops are able to
change the setting from the flexible
> MAINTENANCE
maintenance system to the time-based
maintenance system.
If requested to do so, your MAN Service
workshop will switch off the monitoring of
individual components/assemblies or the
entire system.
