Bomag BW 100/120 AD-5, AC-5 and SL-5 Common Problems This Manual Covers
Bomag BW 100 AD-5 engine won't start in cold weather or turns over very slowly
Check the main battery fuse on page 135 and verify it has an 80 A rating. Inspect the fuel system for paraffin separation. Drain any gelled diesel, replace the fuel filter, and top off the 35L fuel tank to get the roller back on the pass.
Manual Section: Electric Systems p. 135Economizer LED flashes after vibration engages and measured compaction values are implausible
Inspect the acceleration sensor mounting on the drum. Tighten the rubber buffer fastening screws to 211 Nm as shown on page 323. Check the sensor cable for breaks. Clear any dirt from the mount using a maximum air pressure of 2.1 bar (30 psi).
Manual Section: Drum p. 323Roller does not move forward or travel is blocked when shifting the drive lever
Verify the brake solenoid reaches its target value. Inspect the tandem gear pump and closed-loop travel motors. If replacing the drum drive motor, torque the mounting bolts to 211 Nm as specified on page 97. Confirm the hydraulic system oil capacity is at 35L before testing.
Manual Section: General p. 97Diesel engine shuts down during a heavy compaction pass or loses power under load
Measure the V-belt depression on page 202 to confirm it sits between 7 to 9 mm. Adjust the tension if slipping occurs under load. Check the intake and exhaust valve clearance, setting both to exactly 0.18 mm to 0.22 mm while the engine is cold.
Manual Section: Diesel Engine p. 202Frequently Asked Questions
What are the replacement specifications for the fuel filter?
The fuel pre-filter should be replaced every 500 operating hours. When installing the new filter, ensure the flow direction matches the arrow on the filter housing. p. 203
What is the recommended engine oil viscosity for ambient temperatures between -10 °C and 25 °C?
For ambient temperatures between -10 °C (14 °F) and 25 °C (77 °F), the recommended engine oil viscosity classes are SAE 10W-30 or SAE 15W-40. p. 51
What is the tightening torque for the M12 counter nut on the bypass valve?
The tightening torque for the counter nut on the bypass valve is 22 Nm. p. 225
What is the procedure for bleeding the travel circuit?
To bleed the travel circuit, install pressure test hoses to the charge pressure and high pressure test ports, hold the open ends in a container, and operate the starter for 30 seconds. Repeat this until oil runs out from the hoses, then remove the hoses and unlock the emergency stop switch. p. 296
What is the nominal injection valve opening pressure for the BW100 to BW138-5 models?
The nominal injection valve opening pressure for the BW100 to BW138-5 models is 137.3 to 147.0 bar. p. 189
