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.
