Volvo A40e OPERATOR MAINTENANCE Manual
Volvo A40e Articulated Dump Truck
This Operator’s Manual is intended as a guide for the correct use and maintenance of the machine. Therefore, study it carefully before starting and operating the machine, or before carrying out any preventive maintenance.
Keep the manual in the cab so that it always is at hand. Replace it immediate if it is lost.
The manual describes the applications for which the machine primarily is intended and is written to apply for all markets.
We therefore ask you to disregard the sections which are not applicable to your machine or to the work for which you use your machine.
NOTE! The information in the manual applies to machine models A35E, A35E FS, A40E, and A40E FS, unless otherwise stated.
Many hours are spent on design and production to make a machine that is as efficient and safe as possible. The accidents which occur in spite of this, are mostly caused by the human factor. A safety-conscious person and a well-maintained machine make a safe, efficient, and profitable combination. Therefore, read the safety instructions and follow them.
We continually strive to improve our products and to make them more efficient through changes to their design.
We retain the right to do this without committing ourselves to introduce these improvements on products, which have already been delivered. We also retain the right to change data and equipment, as well as instructions for service and other maintenance measures without prior notice.
