Ammann ARX 90 2013 Workshop Manual

If you’re wrenching on a Ammann ARX 90 2013 Workshop Manual should be on the bench, not the shelf. I’ve seen rollers come in with bearings seized because someone guessed the tightening sequence on the drum bolts. That’s a $2,000 mistake. This is the factory book Ammann Czech Republic printed in 12/2013 – 370 pages, no aftermarket shortcuts, no interpretation. You get the same data the dealer techs use.

7 Systems Covered – From Engine to Sprinkling

This manual doesn’t waste space on fluff. Chapter 7 walks through the Deutz engine – removal, troubleshooting, and technical data from the manufacturer. Chapter 8 covers the steering hydraulic motor replacements (including the crab motor, 90/45-125). Travel hydraulic system, vibration drums, cooling hydraulics, cab and platform, fuel tank removal, sprinkling pump, and full electrical installation with fuse positions – it’s all there. The table of contents lists 16 chapters; each one built for a specific job. Need to pull the drum? Section 10.6. Want to adjust the pulse sensor? Section 15.7.

Cooling Hydraulics: Factory Procedure for Fan and Pump

Chapter 11 deals with the cooling system. Before you assume a failed propeller, check the hydraulic motor removal steps in 11.3. The manual also specifies cooling liquid specs in section 5.3 – don’t mix coolants on these rollers. Combined cooler disassembly is covered in 11.5. If you skip the correct bleeding procedure, you’ll overheat the hydraulic oil. The manual gives you the sequence. I’ve had to fix three jobs where someone just swapped parts without reading the step order.

Why Aftermarket Manuals Fail on Roller Specs

Aftermarket documentation for compactors and rollers is garbage. They copy wiring diagrams from a different model year or guess torque values. This Ammann ARX 90 manual is the authentic OEM print – Book ID 4-P08408E-EN. You get original schematics: hydraulic system diagrams for both the standard ARX 90 and the HF variant (section 16.3 and 16.4). Electrical installation cable harness routes (16.2). The spare parts list in 16.6 ties directly to the Ammann part numbers. No guessing. No generic torque tables.

Engine Removal and Troubleshooting

Chapter 7.3 gives you a structured troubleshooting table for the Deutz engine. If your roller won’t start or stalls under load, you check fuel system, cooling, and electrical in order. The removal procedure in 7.4 lists required tool sizes and lifting points. I’ve seen guys drop an engine because they skipped the step about disconnecting the hydraulic lines from the vibration pump. The manual shows you exactly which lines to tag. Fuel system coverage in section 5.2 and chapter 13 for tank removal. Don’t start a fuel pump swap without verifying the fuel type – the manual lists fuel specifications for Tier 4 interim compliance.

Does This Manual Cover Fuel and Cooling Systems?

Yes. Section 5.2 covers fuel specs, section 5.3 covers cooling liquid. The manual includes the coolant capacity and mix ratio. Chapter 11 details the cooling hydraulic motor and combined cooler. For the drum cooling liquid (section 5.8), it lists the type and quantity. If you’re doing a full fluid change, the Lubrication and Maintenance Chart in chapter 6 maps every fill point and interval. That chart alone saves you from overfilling the gearbox or using the wrong grease on the drum bearings.

Safety Precautions: What the Manual Makes Clear

Chapter 2 is not skippable. It covers safety regulations, environmental measures, and fire precautions – specific to this roller. I know the temptation is to jump to the removal procedure, but there are hydraulic pressure hazards that can kill you if you don’t relieve the accumulators first (section 15.8). The manual also warns about hot surfaces on the cooling fan and the drive motor. I’ve got a scar from ignoring a similar warning. Read it.

FAQ

Does this manual include torque specs for the drum bolts?

Yes, page 26.

Can I use this manual for the ARX 90 HF variant?

The wiring diagram in section 16.2 and hydraulic diagram in 16.4 are specifically labeled for the ARX 90 HF. The manual also lists the HF-specific vibration pump removal in 10.5. However, the base engine and steering sections are identical for both variants. Check the serial number range – this edition starts from serial number 4082001. If your machine is older, cross-reference the spare parts list in 16.6 for any differences in the hydraulic motor part numbers.
