- 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 specic authorisation: they can
be enriched with further specications 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
clarications.
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

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

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 inated 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 eciency 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, at 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-inate a tyre which has completely turned or that is much deated until it has been properly inspected by a
qualied technician.
Do not inate 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 inate tyres in excess of the pressure indicated by DIECI. If the heel does not settle on the rim when this pressure level
is reached, deate the tyre and lubricate with a soapy water solution, then inate again. Do not use oil or grease. Ination
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.

107

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.

Fuel

Before handling fuel and lling 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. Rell 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 lter 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 lling 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 ame.
- Do not ll 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 specications 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 aect combustion.

Viscosity
Viscosity

2/4.5 centistokes at 40C.

Viscosity is the ow resistance; if the degree of viscosity is beyond the limits, it might aect engine performance.

Density
Density

0.8201860 kg/litre at 15C

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 350C.

Distillation is an indication of the blend of dierent hydrocarbons in the fuel. A high proportion of light-weight hydrocarbons
might aect the combustion characteristics.

Fuel for low temperatures

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

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 (gure at the side) must allow intervals
between refuelling not to be too long. A capacity of 3,000
litres is sucient 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 lter. The cistern must be tilted 40 mm per
metre towards the sedimentation drain plug.
- The fuel barrels (gure at the side) must be covered when
stored to prevent water inltration. 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 inltration.
- 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 o
- Go to the back of the vehicle and open then nozzle to
access the fuel ller cap

Battery
- DANGER: BATTERY EXPLOSION

To prevent the batteries from exploding:

Keep sparks, open ames and cigarettes away from the upper part of the batteries as the gas produced by the latter is highly
ammable.
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 ame.
- 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 tted 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 specications.

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
specications.

- 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 eciency 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 eciency 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 gasication. We recommend using simple battery
chargers with minimum current control and a switch-o 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 suciently 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 55C.

12. Switch the battery charger o when nished.

13. Disconnect the battery charger from the mains.

EMERGENCY PROCEDURES

10.1

Warnings if the vehicle should overturn

- The safety belt is the best protection if the vehicle should overturn to its front or side;
- Keep calm: remain on board and do not try to jump out of the drivers seat;
- Hold the steering wheel with both hands;
- Press your feet hard against the oor, keeping them inside the drivers station;
- Tilt your body in the opposite direction to that of the fall
- To avoid banging your head, near your head as much as possible to the steering wheel

152

10.2

Start-up using auxiliary batteries

- ATTENTION
Starting up the engine with auxiliary batteries requires two adequately trained and qualified persons.

Failure to follow the correct procedure can seriously damage the vehicle, objects or persons.
- When starting the engine using another vehicle, connect the accumulators in parallel. When connecting the cables, avoid
contact between the positive + and negative - cables.
- Wear adequate personal protective equipment before carrying out any operation.
- Pay attention so as to prevent the vehicle that is to be started up from coming in contact with the vehicle that must supply the
power, in order to avoid sparks and consequently explosions caused by the hydrogen produced by the accumulators. Serious
damage and injury is caused should the accumulator explode.
- Make sure not to mix up the start-up cables; connect the ground cable rst (-) and the positive cable last (+).
- Pay utmost attention when removing the start-up cables; make sure that the cables disconnected from the accumulator do not
touch other parts of the vehicle in order to prevent hydrogen explosions.

- ATTENTION
The cables and clamps must be proportional with the current load to be transferred. The accumulator used
for start-up must have a greater or at least equal capacity to that of the standard accumulator.

- ATTENTION
Check that the cables and clamps are not corroded or damaged. Make sure the clamps firmly grip the
terminals.

- ATTENTION
Pay utmost attention during the various operations: direct or indirect contact with live parts can cause injury
and in certain cases even death.

- ATTENTION
When the engine is being started up, the operator must be seated in the drivers seat in order to monitor the
vehicle.

- WARNING
These operations must be carried out by skilled and trained personnel.

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 inammable 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 dicult. 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 oor 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 drivers seat, ready to switch o 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 rst so they can
move out of harms way.
Do not allow instruments or other objects to fall into the vehicles 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 tted with appropriate puriers.

- 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.

L3500 - L4700 - F7000

- ELECTRIC PLANT HAZARD
Do not rest metal pieces on the battery.
- The welding operations must also be performed by qualied welders and in a place having suitable equipment. There is danger
of gas leaks, re or electrocution during welding operations; Do not allow unqualied 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.

could leak. Once the system has cooled, turn
the top-up cap to the first notch and wait until
the pressure is discharged completely before
proceeding. Risk of burns and injury.

- DANGER: HARMFUL SUBSTANCES

The coolant can be toxic. Avoid contact with
skin, eyes and clothing. If contact is made
with skin or eyes, rinse with plenty of water.
Consult a doctor immediately. If not used
once again, dispose of according to the local
environmental regulations.
The radiator (Fig. 18-M0300) requires the following steps to
be carried out:

18-M0300

Inspection
Check that the ns are not deformed; in this case, straighten
them with caution.
Check that there is no accumulated dirt on the ns and that
they are not blocked.

Air filter: Cleaning and replacing

- ATTENTION
Inspection, cleaning and replacement must be
carried out with the vehicle in the maintenance
position.

An air lter (Fig. 1-M04-00, pos.1) in poor condition leads to

reduced power, excessive fuel consumption and a shortened
engine life.

Filter clogging is signalled by an optical indicator relative to

the lter itself (Fig. 1-M04-00, pos.2) or the corresponding
indicator on the dashboard lighting up.

Maintenance or a new lter 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
Operations can continue for no more than 1
hour once clogging is indicated.

- WARNING
It is recommended to:
- Clean the lters 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 ltering 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 rst passed through the lter.
For complete lter eciency, it is recommended to operate
with the lter 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

remove pre-lter 4.

3.

Remove pre-lter 4.

4.

Remove lter 6 from the casing by loosening bolt 5.

5.

Clean or replace the lters and ret them all by following

the same instructions in inverse order, taking care not
to tighten the bolts and knobs excessively.

6.

7

When assembling cover 2, valve 7 must always be

in the lowest part with respect to the lter. Otherwise,
the expulsion functionality is compromised, thereby
reducing the life of the lter.

Cleaning the engine air filter

5
3
1

2-M04-00

The lter 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 ltering 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 at 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 t in properly
when the cover is retted.

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

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 o, remove the ignition key and wait until the various components cool down.
- Wear the suitable protective clothing (gloves, masks, overalls, etc.).
- Do not use ammable 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 vehicles 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 inltration.
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.
