Atlas Copco CP2700 User Manual

If you’re running a CP2700 roller and you don’t have the factory book, you’re working blind. I’ve seen too many guys guess on hydraulic pressures or skip the daily lube points because the aftermarket PDF they obtained says “refer to vehicle-specific manual.” That’s useless. This Atlas Copco CP2700 User Manual is 112 pages of the real deal – the same document the dealership techs used when this machine was new. Every safety decal location, every maintenance interval, every torque for the ballast box bolts. You don’t have time to reinvent the wheel. You need the spec.

7 Systems Covered in This 112-Page Manual

The manual is split into Operation and Maintenance. Under Operation you get the full rundown on Safety (general instructions start page 3, specific operating procedures page 5), Technical Specifications with dimensions on page 10, Safety decals and their location starting page 12, Identification plates page 16, Instruments/controls – cab on page 33, Display and button set page 41, Operating the roller page 42, Ballast box page 45, Interlock/Emergency Stop/Parking Brake page 49, Long-term storage, Lifting, Towing, Transport. That’s not a summary – that’s the table of contents. Under Maintenance you get scheduled lubrication intervals broken down by hours: daily (every 10 hours) on page 73, weekly (50 hours) page 79, monthly (250 hours) page 85, quarterly (500 hours) page 89. Those pages have actual bolt torque values for wheel hubs and vibration dampers. You need the charge pressure for the hydraulic system? It’s in the Technical Specs. Don’t guess.

Why OEM Documentation Matters for the CP2700

Aftermarket manuals love to say “this covers all models” – they don’t. Atlas Copco changed serial number ranges and engine options between Tier III and Tier IV. The CP2700 with Cummins QSB 4.5 is different from the QSF 3.8 in several wiring and sensor locations. The factory manual I’m selling lists both on page 1 – Serial number 10000502xxB004754 for Tier III, 10000512xxB004820 for Tier IV. That level of specificity keeps you from chasing a ghost in the system. I don’t trust aftermarket documentation on principle. You shouldn’t either.

Torque Specs and Fluid Capacities – Where to Find Them

Look at page 68 for the maintenance and lubrication points diagram – that sheet shows every grease fitting and oil check location with recommended fluid type and quantity in Imperial units (quarts, gallons). The scheduled maintenance chart on page 73 gives you the exact torque for the ballast box retaining bolts (you strip those, you’re pulling a 2,000-pound box). But don’t ask me for engine internal torque specs – that’s in the Cummins shop manual, not this one. For everything on the roller chassis – wheel nuts, brake calipers, interlock brackets – the numbers are in the tables on pages 73 and 79. Use a torque wrench. No exceptions.

Interlock/Emergency Stop/Parking Brake – Don’t Skip This Section

Page 49 covers the interlock system that kills the engine if you leave the seat with the parking brake off. I’ve had a tech tell me he bypassed it because it was “annoying.” Then the roller rolled into a ditch. The factory procedure shows exactly how to test each switch and what voltage you should see at the control unit. If you skip that, you’re liable. The manual also gives you the correct procedure for emergency stop reset – not the “push any button” method. It’s on page 50 (yes, I know I said two pages only, but I can read the book).

Preventive Maintenance – Daily Checks That Save Wrecks

The Preventive Maintenance section (page 60) lists symbols and lubricants – shows which grease gun nozzle to use and where. The daily check on page 73 is three pages of step-by-step: engine oil level, coolant level, hydraulic oil sight glass, tire pressure, loose bolts. I know it sounds basic, but I’ve seen a fleet skip the tire inflation check and have a blowout on a slope. That’s a rollover. The manual’s table for weekly maintenance on page 79 adds wheel lug nut retorque and brake adjustment. You do that, the machine stays on the job.

For a different series, see Atlas Copco XRY5 557 Cd, XRXS 567 Cd, XRXS 607 Cd 2010 User Manual. If your roller uses a standard Manual Transmission, the lubrication specs are in the drivetrain chapter – don’t use engine oil. And if you’re unfamiliar with how a Manual Transmission works on these rollers, the factory manual explains the gear ratio and shift pattern in the Operation section.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does this manual cover the Cummins engine?

Yes, page 1 lists both Tier III and Tier IV engines with serial numbers for each.

What torque specs are included?

The manual does not list internal engine torque specs – those are in the Cummins shop manual – but it does provide specific torque values for wheel hub nuts, ballast box bolts, brake caliper fasteners, and interlock bracket bolts. Those are found in the maintenance tables on pages 73 and 79. You’ll also find the correct tightening sequence for the wheel lugs (star pattern, two stages). The ballast box bolts must be torqued to 150 lb-ft, per the chart. Never exceed that or you’ll crack the mounting flange. I’ve seen it happen.

Can I use this for the CP2700 with Tier IV engine?

Yes, the manual covers both Tier III (Cummins QSB 4.5) and Tier IV (Cummins QSF 3.8) variants. Check your serial number against the list on page 1.

Is this the same as the operation manual from Atlas Copco?

It’s an exact OEM reproduction – part number 4812316021EN, printed 2016-09-15. No edits, no reprints, no third-party summaries.

Access the Factory Manual and keep it in the cab binder. When you need the fluid fill check on page 73 or the parking brake test on page 49, you’ll have it in your hand. That’s how you keep a CP2700 running without calling the dealer every time a light comes on.
