If the single drum roller on your job is a Bomag BW 213 DH-3, PDH-3 or PDBH-3, this operator manual PDF (OEM 008 140 11, 102 pages) is the factory book issued for those three variants. Maintenance takes up nearly half the book, organized by operating hours from the daily oil and coolant checks through the 250-hour engine oil filter change to the 2000-hour hydraulic oil filter service. Operation and controls fill most of the rest: fuse box assignments, jump-lead starting, towing after an engine failure, transport tie-down, plus an engine fault troubleshooting table at the back. Set the wheel nuts to 550 Nm and the axle-to-frame bolts to 880 Nm; the tightening torque table gives you the rest. A remembered torque figure is how studs shear on the next lift. Bookmarked and text-searchable, this PDF goes wherever the roller does.

Bomag BW 213 DH-3, BW 213 PDH-3, BW 213 PDBH-3 Common Problems This Manual Covers
Bomag BW 213 DH-3 engine loses power and shuts down under load mid-pass
Check engine oil and coolant levels before restarting; the cooling system holds 20 L and the engine sump 19 L. Work through the engine fault procedures starting on page 96. Remove the air filter element and blow it out from the inside with dry compressed air at 5 bar maximum, as shown on page 88.
Manual Section: Trouble Shooting p. 96Engine cranks slowly, starts poorly, then stalls a few minutes after startup
Drain the water separator until clean fuel runs out, part of the 10 hour checks covered from page 58. Replace the fuel filter if it is overdue, then bleed the low pressure fuel lines. Keep the 340 L tank topped up overnight to cut condensation, and load test the battery before cold morning starts.
Manual Section: 10 to 50 Operating Hour Maintenance p. 58Travel drive and vibration feel weak, machine crawls and responds slowly on the lift
Check the hydraulic oil level in the sight glass during the daily checks from page 58, and top up the 60 L system with the specified hydraulic oil. Replace the hydraulic oil filter if the machine is past the 2000 operating hour interval listed on page 57. Wipe fittings clean before opening the tank.
Manual Section: 10 to 50 Operating Hour Maintenance p. 58Coolant temperature climbs and alarm sounds during long compaction passes in hot weather
Shut down, let the engine cool, then check the coolant level; the system holds 20 L. Clean packed dust from the radiator and hydraulic oil cooler fins, part of the 250 hour maintenance starting on page 64. Clear any debris blocking the fan intake so the machine finishes the lift without another shutdown.
Manual Section: 250 to 500 Operating Hour Maintenance p. 64Machine pulls to one side and drum scrapers smear material during finish passes
Set both rear tires to 1.1 bar and compare wear across the tread. Adjust the scraper bars so they clear the drum evenly, following the 10 hour maintenance steps beginning on page 58. Clean caked material off the drum surface before the next pass so the lift surface stays smooth.
Manual Section: 10 to 50 Operating Hour Maintenance p. 58Frequently Asked Questions
What are the replacement specifications for the fuel filter?
The fuel filter cartridges should be replaced every 500 operating hours. When installing, screw the filter cartridges on by hand until the seal touches the filter head, then tighten for an additional 3/4 turn. p. 71
What are the replacement specifications for the fuel pre-cleaner or water separator?
The water separator should be checked daily for signs of water. If a large quantity is drained, the filter must be refilled with fuel, and the system may require bleeding as described in the 'Maintenance as Required' section. p. 58
What is the correct valve clearance for the engine?
The valve clearance for the engine on a cold engine is 0.25 mm (0.010 IN) for the inlet valve and 0.50 mm (0.020 IN) for the exhaust valve. p. 82
What is the tightening torque for the wheel nuts?
The wheel nuts must be tightened in a cross-type pattern to a torque of 550 Nm (405 ft-lb) for the M22x1,5 size. p. 79
What is the required V-belt tension for the engine?
The nominal tension value for the V-belt is between 267 and 578 N (60 to 130 Lbf). p. 73
