LH410 INTRODUCTION TO MACHINE

1. INTRODUCTION TO MACHINE

1.1. Intended use


This loader is intended to load, haul and dump rock material exclusively. Any other use
different from this is not considered as intended. The intended use also includes following
the instruction manual and to observe inspection and maintenance rules.
The manufacturer or supplier will not be liable for any damage resulting from the product
misuse.

When we refer to the front of the unit, this is the end of the unit where the bucket is attached
to. The right and left sides of the unit are designed in reference to the operators position,
looking toward the front of the unit.
This machine is designed and constructed according to state of the art technology and the
recognized safety rules. Nevertheless, unintended and careless use may cause damage to
health of the user or third persons, or prejudice the machine and other properties.

This machine shall be used only


. to its intended use
. when it is in proper mechanical and operational condition
. conscious of safety and possible danger
. in strict notice and use of the instruction manual
This machine shall not be used
. in enviroment containing explosive gases or explosive dust

1.2. Recommended operating conditions


Because the machine normally operates in mine conditions, its engine, transmission and
hydraulic systems are filled with oils suitable for typical conditions. However, in cold
conditions oils may thicken. This makes starting difficult and the torque converter and
hydraulic pumps will be damaged. For this reason, avoid any temporary parking in frosty
weather. If the machine is to work in very cold or very hot conditions, see the Mercedes--Benz
Operating Instructions for the correct engine oils and the proper fuel.

TKU--B 01146--3 EN 2607 7 (98)


INTRODUCTION TO MACHINE LH410

1.3. Technical details


1.3.1. Noise level and noise emission

The measurement of the noise emission and the noise level at the operator’s position have
been measured in accordance of European Directive 98/37/EC.
D Sound pressure level at the operator’s position . . . . . . . 79,9 dB (A)
(at high idle)
1.3.2. Vibration emission level
This loader had following vibration values in our tests:
D Hand arm vibration value; a8hw = 1,55 m/s2 N
D Whole body vibration value; a8hw = 0,59 m/s2
Please do note that vibration values are highly sensitive to driving speed and terrain
driven. Above values are valid for our testing environment and testing work cycle.

The vibration emission level given in this manual has been measured in
accordance with a whole body vibration standard ISO 2631-- 1:1997. The
vibration emission level may vary because of the different ways in
WARNING
which vehicle can be driven (for example: driving speed and surface
smoothness) and may increase above the level given in this
information sheet. This could lead to significantly higher exposure
values when the vehicle is used regularly in such a way (for example:
very high driving speed in very rough terrain).

To be accurate, an estimation of the level of exposure to vibration


experienced during a given period of work should also take into
account the times when the vehicle is standing by and when it is
running but not actually doing the job. This may significantly reduce
the exposure level over the total working period.

LH410 OPERATION INSTRUCTIONS

3.8.4. Braking

A sudden stop can cause personal injury. Observe the gauges and
indicators often and obey their signals

WARNING

The brake pedal (1) is located in the


operator’s compartment as shown. The
brake pedal is foot operated and is used to
stop the loader. By pressing your foot on the
pedal, the brake will apply and stop the
loader. 1
By removing your foot off the brake pedal,
the brake will be released and the loader will
move. The harder you press the pedal, the Foot rest
quicker the loader will stop, and the greater
the braking effort.

Never drive with your foot on the brake pedal. It causes overheating of the
hydraulic system and early wear or brake failure. Use the foot rest.
CAUTION

Note!

The parking/emergency brake engages automatically if


-- engine oil pressure drops too low
-- brake accumulator pressure is too low
-- hydraulic oil lower limit alarm activated
-- electric current is cut off
-- cabin door is open
-- emergency stop button is on
-- transmission oil pressure drops too low
-- gear in neutral with 3 seconds delay (Neutral brake, optional)

If parking / emergency brake is engaged, the following functions are disabled.

74 (98) TKU--B 01146--3 EN 2607


LH410 OPERATION INSTRUCTIONS

Never turn the main switch off when the engine is running. This may
damage the alternator or the voltage regulator and the machine electronic
equipment.
CAUTION

Never park the machine on a gradient resting on the brakes only.

WARNING

Refill the fuel tank at end of each day’s operation to prevent condensation
from contaminating the fuel.
CAUTION

Don’t leave the unit unattended unless the machine is safely parked,
brakes are set and the engine is shut down.

WARNING

3.10. Operation in cold weather

If the temperature is below 0 ˚C, clear off ice from all steps and handles on the rig.
Because the machine normally operates in mine conditions, its engine, transmission and
hydraulic systems are filled with oils suitable for these conditions. However, in cold
conditions they may thicken. This makes starting difficult and may damage the torque
converter and hydraulic pumps. For this reason, avoid any temporary parking in frosty
weather.
If the machine will work in very cold or very hot conditions, see the Mercedes--Benz
Operating Instructions for the correct engine oils and the proper fuel.
Starting aids such as preheating engine and hydraulic oil are recommended in temperatures
below --10˚C.

LH410 LOADING, HAULING AND DUMPING

4. LOADING, HAULING AND DUMPING

This loader is intended to load, haul and dump rock material exclusively.
Any other use different from this is not considered as intended.

WARNING

4.1. Danger areas during operating


The loader user should always ensure during work, that there are no outsiders in the
danger area.
Operating / driving in the mine you must strictly follow the site traffic regulations.
Pedestrian must always give the way the vehicle and machinery.

Make sure that there are no unauthorized persons in the working area.

WARNING

4.2. Loading
D Always obey national mandatory rules relating to accident prevention and
enviromental protection. The generally recognized technical rules for safe and
professional operation must also be observed.
D Complete the instruction manual with obligatory reports and controls according to
company rules.

Unit malfunctions must be repaired immediately!

WARNING

Keep all safety and danger signs on the machine in legible condition,
observe and follow them

WARNING

The effort spent in levelling the machine’s small operating area can pay dividends by
increasing its productivity. When loading, work the area on as wide as possible. Work the
outer side of the muck pile first and then center.

If you follow correct loading procedures, you and the machine will be a more efficient team.
Do not start lifting full loads until the engine and the converter are warmed up (converter
+40_C).

TKU--B 01146--3 EN 2607 81 (98)


LOADING, HAULING AND DUMPING LH410

Approach the muck pile with the lift arms down. Before penetrating the muck pile, put the
bucket lip plate against or very close to the ground.

Drive ahead in first gear. Straighten the machine before penetrating the muck pile. Once
you have penetrated the muck pile it may be necessary to increase the throttle to keep up
an even speed. Try to operate the loader within optimal engine rpm range.
To avoid wheel spin, move the bucket slightly first with the boom and then oscillate with the
boom and the bucket. This causes the front tires to flatten out thus increasing the tire contact
surface area.

Don’t spin the tires while loading

CAUTION

If forward and breakout movements are combined properly the bucket can be filled with one
pass and without wheel spin.

If the muck pile is rammed unnecessarily a converter stall on the output shaft may occur.
This happens when there is full engine power without any wheel motion.

Never maintain a converter stall more than 30 seconds at a time, because it converts
all of the engine power to heat energy. A converter stall happens more easily in high gears.

82 (98) TKU--B 01146--3 EN 2607


LH410 LOADING, HAULING AND DUMPING

Do not lower the bucket cutting edge too much for it may cause the front wheels to rise off
the ground. This leaves the rear wheels as your only source of drive.

Don’t lift the front tires off the ground while loading

CAUTION

Avoid lifting up the rear axle for it puts unnecessary stress on the front axle and the front
wheels.

TKU--B 01146--3 EN 2607 83 (98)


LOADING, HAULING AND DUMPING LH410

4.3. Hauling

When the bucket has sufficiently penetrated the muck pile, roll it back to the hauling position.
Do this quickly so the back of the bucket fills completely. Shake the bucket in order to drop
extra or loose material from the bucket before hauling. Engage the reversing gear and lower
the bucket arms against the arm stops.

Note all matters concerning safety.

CAUTION

Upgrade & Level Hauling


Keep the bucket and the boom in transport position during hauling prosess.
Select such gear, which provides a road speed where you the operator are always in total
control of the unit and are allowed to operate in a safe and responsible manner.
Close attention MUST be payed to converter temperature. Converter temperature during
tramming MUST not exceed 100_C.
Monitor control system display to ensure normal machine operating conditions exist.

84 (98) TKU--B 01146--3 EN 2607


LH410 LOADING, HAULING AND DUMPING

Downgrade hauling
Keep the bucket and the boom in transport position during hauling prosess.
Always use the proper gears for driving. When driving downhill, select such a gear that you
can control the machine without excessive use of brakes. As a general rule of tumb, when
driving downhill, select the same gear that you would use if driving uphill.
Ensure full or near full throttle position is maintained. To achieve maximum transmission
cooling, transmission temperature must operate under 100_C.

Insufficient throttle position may result in transmission overheat!

CAUTION

Ensure the selected gear and drive conditions do not force the engine into an over--rev
condition. Engine rpm must be maintained under maximum. See the engine rating plate
and Mercedes--Benz Operating Instructions.
Monitor control system display to ensure normal machine operating conditions exist.
