Bomag BW 213 D-4 2004 Operators Manual – OEM Factory Instructions

Running a Bomag BW 213 D-4 without the factory operators manual means you’re making up safety procedures and guessing on fluid capacities. I’ve seen too many rollers sidelined because someone skipped the maintenance instructions or used the wrong hydraulic oil. This 2004 Bomag BW 213 D-4 Operators Manual puts the machine’s original specs in your hands – 102 pages of exactly what the factory expects.

Technical Data Section – Weights, Engine, and Vibration

The manual opens with a full Technical Data chapter. You get the machine weight, travel characteristics, engine specs, brakes, steering, vibration parameters, tire details, and filling capacities. Need the guaranteed sound capacity level? It’s in there. Hand-arm vibration values? Page 73 (if you’re looking for the noise and vibration data according to EC Machine Regulation 98/37/EC and Noise Emission Regulation 2000/14/EC). This section alone saves you from calling the dealer for basic numbers.

Safety Regulations: Who Can Operate This Machine?

Chapter 2 – Safety regulations – covers intended use, unintended use, who is allowed to work with the machine, conversions, towing, loading, starting procedures, driving on slopes, and parking. Bomag is clear: if you modify the machine without authorization, warranty is void. The manual also lists fire protection measures for fueling, working on hydraulic lines, and battery handling. This is the chapter you read before turning the key.

7 Key Systems Documented in the Maintenance Section

The maintenance instructions in this operators manual cover the engine, hydraulic system, electrical equipment, battery, fuel system, wheels and tires, and the ROPS structure. Each subsection gives you steps for inspection intervals and replacement. Compliance with these instructions prolongs the machine’s lifetime – Bomag says it, and I’ve seen it. The manual also tells you what to do after maintenance: test the machine.

Indicators and Controls – Factory Layout

Chapter 3 walks through every switch, lever, and indicator on the BW 213 D-4. Ignition switch, instrument cluster, vibration push button and rotary switch, travel lever, emergency stop, engine speed control, and all lighting switches. Fuses are listed with locations in the electric installation box. If a control isn’t working, you trace it here rather than poking around blindly.

Compliance and Warranty: Why OEM Documentation Matters

This is an original Bomag document – not a reprint or aftermarket copy. The heading says “Operating instructions / Maintenance instructions” and it is in accordance with product liability laws and safety regulations. Bomag will not assume liability if the machine is handled improperly. Using OEM documentation means you have the actual CE conformity information and original spare parts recommendations. The factory manual also reserves the right to technical modifications without prior notification, so you know you’re getting the version that matches your serial number range (S/N 101 582 50 …).

If you’re also maintaining other Bomag equipment, check out related OEM manuals: Bomag MPH 454 2004 Operators Manual – OEM Factory Specs, Bomag BW 24 R 2004 Operators Manual – Factory Specs & Safety, and Bomag BC 671 RB / BC 771 RB 2001 Operators Manual – OEM Specs. For general knowledge on powertrain components, refer to Manual Transmission and Manual Transmission resources – but for the Bomag, stick to the factory book.

Does this manual include torque specs for the engine?

Yes, torque values are listed under Technical Data and in the maintenance sections for specific fasteners.

How do I start the machine safely using this manual?

The Safety regulations chapter covers pre-start checks, jump starting, starting in closed rooms, and driving on slopes. Read Chapter 2 before any operation.

What about vibration data – is it usable for a third-party inspection?

The manual gives both sound pressure level at the operator’s station and guaranteed sound capacity level, along with hand-arm vibration values. These are certified values under EC Machine Regulation 98/37/EC and Noise Emission Regulation 2000/14/EC. They can be referenced for inspection reports.

Is this the original OEM document or a scanned copy?

This is a direct digital reproduction of the original Bomag publication (catalogue number 008 124 31, dated 06/2004). It contains all factory diagrams, figures, and serial number information. No third-party rewriting. Bomag GmbH stands behind the content.

You need the real thing on your bench – not a summary. Access the Factory Manual and keep your BW 213 D-4 running to spec.
