Putting UNIMOG into
Operation
Preparations before Starting
Check coolant level in compensation
tank. Actuate push button of safety valve
prior to opening closing cap to relieve
any excess pressure.
The coolant of the cold engine should
be up to 30 mm below the upper edge
of the filler hole of the compensation
tank. Add coolant, if required.
Be sure to add 10 cc of inti-corrosive
agent for each liter of coolant.
4
Fig.10 Coolant compensation tank
1 Closing cover with safety valve
2 Overflow line
Run engine for 5 minutes at increased
idling speed. If required, add coolant
with the engine running, until cooling
liquid level is reached.
Check oil level in oil pan with wiped-
off oil dipstick with the UNIMOG on
level ground. The oil level should be on
the maximum level mark. When checking
the oil level of the engine be sure to
consider that the oil cooler and various
oil passages can be completely drain-
ed when the engine has been inopera-
tive for some time. To determine the
exact oil level in the oil pan it is neces-
sary that the check is conducted imme-
diately after shutting off the warm engine
or after a short running period of the
previously cold engine.
Do not fill up beyond the maximum level
mark!
Check contents of fuel tank.
Check tyre pressure.
Check lights.
Test brakes after moving off.
Important
Move vehicle only after red light on
instrument cluster is gone off.
Starting the Engine
Move main shift lever and hand throttle
into center position (idling speed).
Insert switch box key into switch box
and turn to position 1:
Red charging current control lamp lights
up and fuel gauge responds.
Declutch and step on accelerator pedal.
Push starter switch and hold for some
seconds. Engine will fire. Release star~
switch immediately after engine fires
since this can otherwise cause damage
to the starter.
If the engine does not fire immediately,
repeat starting attempt only when the
engine and the starter have come to
a stop. During repeated starting attempts
short recovery periods for cooling the
starter and conserving the battery
should be imposed.
Watch oil pressure gauge after engine
fires.
If no oil pressure is indicated with the
engine running, stop engine immedia-
tely and look for the cause.
Adjust idling position with hand throttle
until the engine runs "smoothly" at
slightly increased idling speed.

Running-in
It is of decisive importance for the life
and the operational safety that the
engine and drive train of a new UNI-
MOG, an exchange engine or recon-
ditioned engine are not fully exploited
during the first 1500 km.
Complete the specified service jobs
according to schedule once during the
running-in time up to 500 km. The regu-
lar service jobs according to schedules
will then begin. Page 17.
Stationary Operation
For stationary operation of the pto shaft
and low-speed operation the desired
engine speed can be fixed by means of
the hand throttle control. Tighten round
locking disc in clockwise direction.
While operating the pto drive stationary
make sure that the low range/high
range lever is in "high range" to
guarantee the oil supply to all rotating
parts inside the transmission.
Stopping the Engine
Pull hand throttle control toward the
rear and turn completely to the right.
Engine will stop. Immediately turn hand
throttle control back to idle position. At
a coolant temperature of 90 to 95° C do

not stop the engine immediately but
keep it running at increased idling
speed for 1 or 2 minutes, so that the
coolant remains in circulation and is
not thrown out by the reheating effect
of the engine.
Transmission Shifting
2 x 4 Shifting
3The manual synchromesh transmission
has 4 forward low range gears, 4 forward
high range gears and 4 reverse gears.
The 4 forward low range gears have
been provided for increased traction.
They are shifted with the low range/hi!;lh
range lever (3) after disengaging the
clutch. Page 12.
For road operation, the 4 forward high
range gears are sufficient, i. e. start the
vehicle, depending on trailer weight,
with the 1st high range gear engaged.
For reverse operation, declutch and
move the short forward/reverse lever to
the" reverse" position, the UNIMOG
being stationary.
For repeated forward and reverse ope-
ration, keep main shift lever in its posi-
tion and shift to forward and reverse
only with the short forward/reverse lever.
See page 12.
15

Special Drive for pto Shaft
A special drive for pto shaft of 1/min,
540 can be installed.
The rotation of pto shaft will stop dur-
ing declutching.
Four-Wheel Drive, Differential
Locks
If under difficult ground conditions or
with a high total train weight the ground
adhesion of the rear wheels is inade-
quate, engage the four-wheel drive or
the four-wheel drive with differential
locks. This will provide high tractive
power for the UNIMOG in sprre. ot.-its
low dead weight. Putting an additional
load on the platform may improve
ground adhesion still further.
The four-wheel drive and the differential
locks can be engaged while driving
without declutching, but only when the
wheels are not spinning, that is, as long
as the wheels are rotating in contact
with the ground.
If a wheel slips when the four-wheel
drive or the differential locks are
engaged, declutching is required so that
all the wheels are turning at uniform
speed or that the UNIMOG comes to a
stop.
16
The differential locks and the four-wheel
drive can also be disengaged while
driving without declutching. Briefly
release accelerator pedal when disen-
gaging the four-wheel drive.
Try not to engage the differential locks
when driving around a road bend to
eliminate additional stresses.
With the differential locks engaged the
turning circle increases as a result of
the automatically resulting wheel slip.
Instruments, Warning Lights
Check instruments" warning and control
lights occasionally while driving. The
most favorable operating temperature
of the coolant is at approximately 80° C
and is indicated on the coolant tempera-
ture gauge. At this temperature the
engine wear and the fuel consumption
are the lowest. If possible, the operating
temperature should not exceed 95° C.
Brake System
Test brakes immediately after moving
off. Establish braking action on a dry
road affording good grip.
The hand brake system serves as an
auxiliary and a parking brake system
acting on the rear wheels only.

Filling-up Engine Oil
The oil filler neck is located at the rear
in the cylinder head cover, accessible
from the cab after removal of the inside
engine hood. Filling-up may also be ac-
complished at the breather neck on the
timing gear case.
Engines of the new UNIMOG, exchange
engines and fully reconditioned engines
are filled with running-in oil for the first
500 km.
After this, only HD (heavy-duty) engine
oil grades of the specified viscosity class
are permitted. Refer to page 56.
Change HD engine oil brand if at all
possible only during an oil change.
Oil Level and Oil Change
Check oil level regularly depending on
the UNIMOG operating conditions and
make adjustments, if required.
Check oil level in oil pan with the UNI-
MOG on level ground and with the oil
dipstick wiped off.
The oil level should be between the
minimum and maximum mark.
When checking the oil level of the
engine, it must be considered that the
011cooler and various oil passages will
drain after not being run for some time.
In order to exactly determine the. oil
level in the oil pan, it is necessary that
the check be made either immediately
after turning off the warm engine, or
after briefly running the previously cold
engine.
If oil must be added already prior to the
first oil change and if no running-in oil is
available, an HD engine oil of the same
viscosity class may be used as an ex-
ception.
Do not add 011beyond the max. level
mark!
Complete oil change according to the
maintenance schedule.
Complete oil change only following ex-
tended operation of the engine, as long
as the engine oil is still warm and thin.
Change the bypass oil filter element
during every oil change. HD engine oil
will become dark sooner than unblended
engine oil, because the combustion
residue entering the oil will not settle in
the crankcase and on crank assembly
components, but will be kept suspended
in the oil. Do not change the HD engine
oil too early because of its dark color.

Cleaning Oil Filter
Clean the combination oil filter with
main flow and bypass oil filter element
according to maintenance schedule.
Attach approximately 0.6 m of hose to
the drain connection of oil filter. Place
a collecting vessel underneath, loosen
drain plug, unscrew filler plug and drain
engine oil.
Loosen mounting bolt of oil filter bowl.
Remove filter bowl with filter elements.
Close center hole of main flow oil filter
element on both sides, rinse with gaso-
line and then clean with a soft and not
too large a brush, so that the filter fabric
is not damaged.
Change bypass oil filter element. When
assembling, place the main flow oil
filter element, the bypass oil filter ele-
mentand the resilient sealing washer on
the oil filter housing.
Replacesealing rings.
To get oil pressure at once during start-
ing procedure, fill-up oil filter bowl half
way.
Watch out for correct position of drain
plug screw on oil filter bowl.

Oil Overpressure
Under normal operating conditions and
when using engine oil of viscosity class
SAE 30 at nominal speed the oil over-
pressure is at least 2.5 bar (kp/cm2). At
idling speed it may drop to 0.6 bar
(kp/cm2) without in any way endangering
the operational safety of the engine.

Retightening Cylinder Head Nuts
This maintenance job is done only once.
Clean area around cylinder head cover
thoroughly. Remove cylinder head cover
and rocker arm shafts. Should it occa-
sionally happen that the cylinder head
cover removal is impeded by the lower
edge of the instrument panel, loosen the
front portion of the cab mounting and
liftthe cab approximately 20 mm.
First loosen each individual nut slightly
prior to retightening.
