Bomag BW 75 H 2013 Operators Manual – Factory Specs for the Double Drum Roller

You got a Bomag BW 75 H on site and the operator is guessing at maintenance intervals? That’s a quick way to burn out a hydraulic pump or overheat a diesel. The Bomag BW 75 H 2013 Operators Manual is the only document you should trust for daily checks, fluid specs, and safety procedures. This is the original factory document, 78 pages, straight from Bomag’s 2013 release. No aftermarket reprint, no condensed version, no missing pages.

7 Maintenance Schedules Covered

The manual breaks maintenance into three intervals: daily, monthly, and semestral (every six months). Section 6.5 (page 44) gives you the full maintenance table. Daily checks include engine oil level, fuel reserve, hydraulic oil level, and water tank fill – all listed in section 6.6 through 6.10. Monthly work covers air filter cleaning, battery care, and fuel tank sludge draining (sections 6.11-6.13). Semestral job is the oil and filter change (6.14). If you skip any of these because you think you know better, you’re buying a new engine. This manual tells you exactly what fluid, what quantity, and what interval.

Each procedure comes with required tool lists and safety warnings – not generic advice, but Bomag-specific instructions. For example, the air filter cleaning procedure warns you against using compressed air over 30 psi because it damages the paper element. That kind of detail.

Does This Manual Cover Routine Operation?

Yes, and it starts with section 5 – Manejo (Handling). Pages 23-35 walk you through starting the motor (section 5.4), using the reversible starter (5.5), releasing the parking brake (5.6), driving the machine (5.7), turning vibration on and off (5.8), engaging the gravity spray system (5.9), and setting the parking brake again (5.10). It also covers loading and transport (5.12). If you’ve ever seen a rookie try to release the parking brake on these rollers without reading the manual, you know they either stall it or drag the drums. This manual prevents that.

One thing I appreciate: the manual gives you the exact sequence for starting with the reversible starter – which is critical on cold mornings when the battery is weak. You don’t need to guess; just follow the steps.

Torque Specs and Fluid Capacities – What the Factory States

The manual includes a table of service fluids in section 6.3 (page 42). It lists the approved oils, hydraulic fluids, coolants, and grease grades for the BW 75 H. The specs are metric – liters and mm – so keep your conversion chart handy if you’re used to quarts and inches. But the values are the actual factory numbers, not generic approximations. For torque values on specific components like drain plugs or filter housings, you’ll need the service manual. The operators manual focuses on operation and maintenance, not overhaul. That’s how OEM documents work – they don’t mix content.

Safety Instructions: Why There Are 11 Pages of Them

Section 3 – Instrucciones de Seguridad – runs from page 11 to page 18 (maybe page 19 based on the TOC numbering). That’s 11 pages of safety. Bomag takes safety seriously because a 1.5-ton roller can crush a foot, a hydraulic leak can inject fluid, and a rollover can kill. The manual covers personal protective equipment, machine stability, refueling hazards, battery safety, and emergency shutoff procedures. It also references the professional association regulations for road rollers and compactors. If you’re the shop owner, you should have this section read and signed by every operator before they touch the machine. That’s your liability insurance right there.

Why OEM Documentation Matters

I’ve seen aftermarket manuals that claim to cover the BW 75 H but leave out the reversible starter procedure or the correct hydraulic oil viscosity. That’s how you burn up a charge pump. This manual is the original Bomag print – scan of the actual factory document from 2013. The TOC structure is in Spanish, but the diagrams, tables, and torque specs are universal. If you’re working with a non-Spanish operator, pair it with a translation tool. Still better than a generic manual written by someone who never held a wrench.

If you’re working on equipment with a standard automotive powertrain, you might also reference a separate guide for Manual Transmission maintenance or Manual Transmission rebuild procedures. But for the BW 75 H, this operators manual is the only factory source you need.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is this manual in English?

No, the manual is in Spanish only.

Does it include engine torque specs?

The manual covers fluid capacities, maintenance intervals, and operation procedures. It does not include detailed engine overhaul torque specs such as cylinder head bolt values. Those are found in the separate engine service manual. However, it does list fluid viscosities, fill quantities, and filter part numbers from the factory. For daily maintenance and safe operation, this manual gives you everything you need. If you plan to tear down the Kubota diesel, get the engine manual.

Bottom line: if you want to keep your BW 75 H running without surprises, stop relying on memory or a PDF from a random forum. Access the Factory Manual and put it in the tool compartment. Read the safety section out loud to your crew. Follow the maintenance table to the day. That’s how you avoid downtime and keep the roller in spec.
