1 General notes

1.1 Introduction

Read the original instructions and the safety instructions before using your vehicle for the first time. Act in accordance with them.

Keep these operating instructions for future reference or for future owners.

1.2 Scope of delivery

1.2.1 Checking the delivery

Please report any defects or shipping damage identified on the vehicle when it is handed over directly to your dealer or department store.

1.2.2 MC 250 scope of delivery

The following vehicles are described in these operating instructions:

Device carrier with VM motor (R754EU6C) 75 kW (Euro 6) with DPF and SCR filters Device carrier with VM engine (R754ISE5) 54.5 kW (Stage V) with DPF filter

1.2.3 Exhaust Gas Treatment System (ATS)

Note

The following texts are excerpts from the operating instructions of the engine manufacturer.

(VM engine Euro 6)

The ATS system consists of a catalytic converter "Diesel Oxidation Catalyst (DOC)", a particle filter "Diesel Particulate Filter (DPF)", and a catalytic converter "Selective Catalyst Reduction (SCR)". These components burn the

collected particles as part of a "regeneration process" and reduce the nitrogen oxides (NOx). Effective regeneration requires that the exhaust gases escape at a high temperature over a period of time. The exhaust gases must have a suitable temperature for regeneration, otherwise the DPF will continuously filter and thereby incurs a risk of becoming clogged. An actively regenerated post-treatment system is used to avoid clogging of the filter.

The exhaust gases of a diesel engine contain nitrogen oxides (NOx), which must be reduced. In accordance with pollutant emission standards, the current post-treatment system has been integrated with an "SCR" system.

The system for reducing the NOx gases consists of a dosing control unit (DCU Box), a tank for the reaction fluid DEF (Diesel Exhaust Fluid), a DEF injector and a catalytic converter SCR.

The liquid "Diesel Exhaust Fluid" (DEF) or known as AdBlue® as a trade name is pumped through the dosing control unit (DCU box) into the injector. The injector atomizes the liquid in front of the SCR catalytic converter, causing a chemical reaction. This chemical reaction converts the nitrogen oxides (NOx) contained in the exhaust gases into water vapour and nitrogen.

AdBlue® or DEF is a non-toxic, colourless, odourless and non-flammable liquid. It is poured into a special container in the vehicle and injected into the exhaust system to clean the exhaust gases.

1.3 Warranty

The warranty conditions issued by our sales company responsible apply in all countries.

△WARNING

Risk of injury and damage

Be aware of the weight of the vehicle.

  1. Park the vehicle in a protected, level and dry place.
  2. If there is a danger of frost, check that there is enough antifreeze in the coolant.
  3. Clean the vehicle inside and out.

When stored for more than one month:

  1. Jack up the vehicle (freely rotating wheels).
  2. Disconnect the battery, recharge every 2 months.
  3. When restarting after prolonged storage, carry out scheduled maintenance as necessary.

12 Troubleshooting guide

You can remedy minor faults using the following overview. If in any doubt, please contact your authorised Customer Service.

DANGER

Risk of electric shock

Switch off the vehicle before carrying out any care and maintenance work, and remove the key.

Repair work and work on electrical components must only be performed by your authorised Customer Service.

12.1 Vehicle malfunctions

Malfunction Remedy
Vehicle does not start ●Check / charge the battery. ● Sit in the driver's seat (seat contact switch is activated). ● Set the driving direction lever to the NEUTRAL position - central position. ● Fill up fuel, bleed the fuel system. ● Check, clean and/or replace the fuel filter. ● Check the fuel connections and lines. ● Contact an authorised Customer Service department.
Motor running irregularly● Clean/replace the air filter. ● Check, clean and/or replace the fuel filter. ● Fill up fuel, bleed the fuel system. ● Check the fuel connections and lines. ● Contact an authorised Customer Service department.
Engine is running, but the vehicle does not drive or just slowly● Check the filling level of the hydraulic oil tank. ● In the event of freezing temperatures and cold hydraulic oil: Allow the vehicle to warm up for at least 3 minutes.

12.2 Error messages for symbol displays

Malfunction Cause Remedy
CHECKThe engine indicator light (MIL) lights up when the ignition is switched on to check the function. It notifies the driver of a fault in an emission- or safety-related component. In the event of active faults, the MIL lights up permanently.● If the fault is no longer active, the light is switched off after 3 driving cycles● In the event of DEF faults, the light goes out al-ready 1 driving cycle after filling up the reaction liquid (DEF)● 1 driving cycle = a Switch on the ignitionb Start the engine and let it run for at least 5 secondsc Switch off the engine and wait for the afterrun (approx. 30 seconds)
Engine fault in the exhaust treatment systemInforms that the exhaust aftertreatment is impaired.● Eliminate the error in order to get the vehicle fully functional again; this prevents damage to the engine and vehicle● Check the level in the DEF reservoir● Minimum engine run time after topping up is 20 minutes. Then the warning lamp goes out.
Regeneration process required.● Perform regeneration (see chapter "Regenera-tion").
Regeneration process has generated an error (NOx monitoring unit).● Call Customer Service.
Engine oil pressure is too high.● Call Customer Service.
Fault in the drive. ● Call Customer Service.
Parking brake active. ● Release theparking brake.
Low fuel level. ● Top up the fuel.● Vent the fuel system if the tank was run dry.
Coolant temperature is too high. ● Switch off the motor.● Clean the radiator (see chapter "Cleaning the ra-diator").● Check the level of coolant in the motor, refill as necessary.● If the warning light does not go out within 5 min-utes:a Switch off the engineb Contact Customer Service
Hydraulic oil temperature too high.● Operate the engine in idling mixture until the warning light goes out.
Hydraulic oil level is too low.● Top up the hydraulic oil.
Hydraulic oil temperature too low.● Carefully warm up the engine until the warning light goes out.
Hydraulic oil filter malfunction● Filter dirty or oil too highly viscous (viscous)● Heat the hydraulic oil to at least 40°C by operating the vehicle. If the fault is still active: Contact Ser-vice.
Service required.● Have the device serviced by Customer Service.a The service display must be reset by Customer Service.
