Technical Data

The following noise and vibration values according to the EC-directive for machines, edition (91/368/
EEC) were measured at nominal engine speed.

During operation these values may vary because of the existing operating conditions.

Noise value
The sound level according to enclosure 1, paragraph 1.7.4. f of the EC-machine regulation is

sound pressure level on the operator’s stand:

LpA =74 dB(A)

sound capacity level:

LWA =108 dB(A)
These sound values were determined according to ISO 3744 for the sound capacity level (LWA) and ISO 6081
for sound pressure level (LpA) at the place of the operator.

Vibration value
The vibration values according to enclosure 1, paragraph 3. 6. 3. a of the EC-machine regulation are:

Vibration of the entire boy (driver’s seat)

The weighted effective acceleration value determined according to ISO 2631 part 1, is <= 0,5 m/sec2.

Hand-arm vibration values

The weighted effective acceleration value determined according to ISO 8662 part 1, is <= 2,5 m/sec2.

performance and quality class. Oils according to
other comparable specifications may be used.

The exact assignment of the approved oil qualities

and oil change intervals can be taken from the fol-
lowing section "Lubrication oil change intervals".
Consult your local service station if in doubt.

Oil viscosity
Multi-purpose oils should be generally used.
Since lubrication oil changes its viscosity with the
temperature, the ambient temperature at the oper-
ating location of the engine is of utmost impor-
tance when choosing the viscosity class (SAE-
class) .
Optimal operating conditions can be achieved by
using the opposite oil viscosity chart (Fig. 133) as
a reference.
Occasionally falling short of the temperature limits
will impair the cold starting ability, but will not
cause any engine damage. In order to keep the
occurring wear as low as possible, occasional ex-
ceeding of the limits should not happen over a
longer period of time.

BC 572 RB-2 BOMAG 65

Maintenance

!Caution
These intervals apply only when using a diesel
fuel with maximum 0.5 % sulphur by weight
and for ambient temperatures higher than
-10 °C.
When using fuels with a sulphur content of
more than 0.5% to 1% or under ambient tem-
peratures below -10 °C the oil change intervals
specified in the table must be halved. For fuels
with a sulphur content of more than 1% you
should consult the responsible service agen-
cy.

Fuels
Quality
You should only use commercially available brand
diesel fuel with a sulphur content below 0.5% and
ensure strict cleanliness when filling in. A higher
sulphur content has a negative effect on the oil
change intervals. Use only winter-grade diesel fuel
under low ambient temperatures. The fuel level
should always be topped up in due time so that the
fuel tank is never run dry, as otherwise filter and in-
jection lines need to be bled.
