Fuse ratings, rated capacity charts and fill volumes for one telescopic handler sit in this 105-page Ingersoll-Rand VR518 operator manual PDF, OEM ID 22806467. Load capacity charts pair with the boom angle indicator and boom extension information, so you can check a planned lift against boom position before raising it. Operating instructions cover the controls and indicators, the multi-function dial and the right console, and the preventive maintenance chapter lays out the maintenance interval schedule and electrical system checks, with options and full specifications at the back. Fill the fuel tank to 140 litres. Engine oil takes 8.5 litres and the coolant circuit 17 litres, while the front and rear work light fuses are each rated 15 A. Preventive maintenance at the set intervals is likely the job you bring to this book. Bookmarks and a text layer help you find each chapter, and the pages print cleanly as a working copy to keep with your machine.

Ingersoll-Rand VR518 Common Problems This Manual Covers
Ingersoll-Rand VR518 engine will not start from the key switch in cold weather conditions
Set the direction control lever in Neutral and the parking brake ON, and start only from the operator seat (page 24). Turn the key to RUN, check fuel, then hold PREHEAT for 15 seconds as page 45 describes. Never hold START over thirty seconds. Check the F3 70 A glow plug fuse on page 67. Do not use ether or starting fluid; move the machine to a warmer area.
Manual Section: Engine Troubleshooting (Starting) p. 15Engine cooling system repeatedly overheating during normal load handling and roading on the job site
Stop the engine and let it cool; do not open the radiator while hot, since page 24 warns of hot pressurized fluid. Check the cooling fluid level following page 64 and top up (the circuit holds 17 litres per page 104). Check alternator belt tension: allow 5/16 inch (8 mm) of movement. Keep the fan guard fitted before running, per page 23.
Manual Section: Engine Cooling System Troubleshooting p. 64Boom hydraulic function not responding from the cab while engine and lights still work
Check the condition of fuses, diodes and relays on the fuse drawing at page 67. Fuse 16 (3 A) feeds the boom hydraulic function, and fuse 13 (10 A) feeds the optional second boom function. Replace a blown fuse with one of the same rating. Then inspect the electric connections and battery fluid level using the Electrical System checks listed on page 56.
Manual Section: Electrical System Troubleshooting p. 67Hydraulic oil leaking at pipes and hydraulic connections with oil level dropping in the tank
Lower the boom to the ground and stop the engine. Check the oil level and top up following page 58; total system capacity is 122 litres. Check tightness of pipes and hydraulic connections, hunting leaks with cardboard or wood, never a bare hand, and wear goggles (page 41). Before disconnecting auxiliary hoses, release pressure using the lever procedure on page 24.
Manual Section: Hydraulic System Troubleshooting p. 58Wheel nuts working loose and tyres running low on pressure during daily inspection
Stop the engine, remove the key, apply the parking brake and block the tires before reaching between tire and frame, as page 21 requires. Check tyre pressure, then tighten wheel nuts to 221 ft.-lbs. (300 Nm) following page 70. While you are down there, check the axle oil levels and vent valves listed in the mechanical transmission checks.
Manual Section: Mechanical Transmission Troubleshooting p. 70Steering mode selector not changing modes or wheels out of alignment after switching
Stop the machine before changing steering mode, as page 16 recommends, then straighten the wheels before moving so they align properly. If the selector does nothing, check fuse 25 (10 A, steering mode control) on the fuse drawing at page 67 and inspect the electric connections. Never raise a load with the steering wheels in the outermost position (page 38).
Manual Section: Electrical System Troubleshooting p. 16Frequently Asked Questions
How do I troubleshoot an Ingersoll-Rand VR518 that will not start?
If the machine will not start in cold weather, it must be moved to a warmer area. Do not use ether or other starting fluids, as this can cause severe engine damage. Ensure the direction control lever is in Neutral (N) and the parking brake is ON before attempting to start. p. 15
What is the procedure for adjusting the alternator belt tension?
The alternator belt tension is measured on the strand between the crankshaft and the alternator. Move the alternator until the belt has 5/16 inch (8 mm) movement at the middle of the belt span with 15 lbs of force applied. p. 64
What is the fuel tank capacity for the VR518?
The fuel tank capacity for the VR518 is 140 litres, as specified in the preparation before operation section. p. 44
What is the wheel nut tightening torque for the Ingersoll-Rand VR518?
The wheel nuts must be tightened to a torque of 221 ft.-lbs. (300 Nm). p. 70
What is the required engine oil capacity for the VR518?
The lubrication circuit for the diesel engine requires 8.5 litres of oil. p. 104
