Mastering the maintenance on your Bomag BC 573 RB-3 refuse compactor takes exactly 752 pages of factory data, all packed into this official service manual (008 402 14 EN). The documentation maps out the entire electrical system using clear circuit diagrams, while the hydraulic chapters break down the charge and travel circuits with complete schematics. You can trace axial piston pump failures or decipher Deutz DTC fault codes using the extensive troubleshooting charts. Verify the engine oil capacity sits at 21.5 liters before adjusting the intake valve clearance to 75° ± 15° and locking down the M22 wheel nuts to 500-600 Nm. When you are alone on a landfill cell with a dead machine and no one to ask, having this bookmarked and text-searchable PDF on your laptop means you can trace the fault and get the compactor pushing trash again.

Bomag BC 573 RB-3 Common Problems This Manual Covers
Bomag BC 573 RB-3 Deutz engine stalls under load on the landfill cell and throws fuel pressure DTCs.
Inspect the fuel lines for damage and verify the tank holds sufficient diesel up to the 375 l capacity. Replace the fuel pressure sensor if faulty and torque the new unit to 30 Nm as shown on page 362. Clear the codes and restart the compactor.
Manual Section: Diesel Engine Troubleshooting p. 362Closed-loop travel pump lines weeping fluid around the fittings after hitting heavy debris on the working face.
Clean the area around the weeping fittings and inspect the threads for damage. Replace any cracked lines. Torque the M12 x 1.5 series L hydraulic fittings to 15 Nm as detailed on page 53. Top off the hydraulic system to its 260 l capacity.
Manual Section: Hydraulic System p. 53Rough idle and excessive exhaust smoke during morning startup before reaching operating temperature.
Remove the cylinder head cover to inspect the valvetrain. Adjust the intake valve clearance angle to 75° ± 15° as specified on page 384. Tighten the counter nut to 20 Nm, then reinstall the cover and torque it to 9 Nm using the specs on page 385.
Manual Section: Machine Assemblies p. 384Compactor wheel loose on the hub with a noticeable clunking noise during forward and reverse travel.
Lift the machine and inspect the hub mounting surfaces for wear or galling. Replace damaged studs immediately. Install the M22 x 1.5 wheel nuts and torque them in a star pattern to 500 - 600 Nm using the specifications found on page 50.
Manual Section: General p. 50Frequently Asked Questions
How do I reset fault codes for the ESX control system?
To delete all stored faults, ensure the engine is not running, enter code number 710 (without service code 9999), and then switch the ignition off and on again. All stored faults will then be deleted. p. 176
What are the general bolt tightening torques for the Bomag BC 573 RB-3?
The tightening torque for M16 screws with a strength class of 8.8 is 211 Nm, for 10.9 it is 300 Nm, and for 12.9 it is 358 Nm. p. 49
What is the procedure for checking the engine oil level?
If the engine is warm, shut it down and wait five minutes before checking. If the engine is cold, you can check it immediately. Ensure the oil level is between the MIN and MAX marks on the dipstick. p. 374
What is the required tightening torque for the fuel pressure sensor on the Bomag BC 573 RB-3?
The tightening torque for the fuel pressure sensor is 30 +5/-5 Nm. p. 362
What is the recommended interval for replacing the hydraulic oil filter on a Bomag BC 573 RB-3?
The hydraulic oil filter should be replaced every 1000 operating hours. p. 303
