Bomag SV212, SV216 Service Manual – Factory OEM Specifications for Vibration Rollers

Torque a transmission bolt to a guess and you will be pulling that hydrostatic motor again before lunch. That is why you want the Bomag SV212, SV216 Service Manual on your bench — not a third-party rewrite with rounded-off numbers. This is the original factory print out of Case France, dated April 2001, covering both the SV212 and SV216 vibration rollers. 241 pages of actual OEM data from the folks who built the machine.

Transmission Service: Hydrostatic Motor and Reduction Gear

Section 21 of this manual walks you through the entire transmission driveline. Page 2 gives you the specifications for the hydraulic motor and the reduction gear assembly — displacement figures, pressure ranges, and the exact tolerances for the travel brake. Page 3 lists the torque specs for every fastener in that assembly, from the motor mounting bolts to the reduction gear cover. You get the disassembly sequence, repair steps, and re-assembly with the factory-approved clearances. The brake test procedure on page 9 of the same section lets you confirm the parking brake holds without pulling the unit twice. If you are swapping out a travel motor or rebuilding the reduction gear, this is the document that keeps you from ordering the wrong seal kit.

Use the Fault Determination Section Before Tearing Anything Apart

Section 00, Chapter 3 gives you a systematic way to find the root cause before you start unbolting. The manual breaks failure modes into six categories: engine, hydraulic oil overheating (emulsification), vibration issues, translation (travel) problems, brake faults, and steering complaints. Each subsection lists possible causes and the diagnostic steps to confirm them. For example, if the roller vibrates erratically, the manual points you to the vibration circuit rather than chasing a loose hydraulic line. This saves hours on a machine that is costing you money sitting in the yard.

Engine Removal and Installation Procedures

Section 10 covers the engine — removal, installation, and the companion accelerator cable setup. Page 1 of that chapter lists the engine specifications, and page 4 shows the torque values for the mounting brackets and bellhousing bolts. The manual also calls out the special tools you need, like a lifting bracket that fits the engine lift points. Skipping the torque sequence on the engine mounts can cause misalignment that eats the fan belt in a week. Factory procedure avoids that.

Hydraulic Cylinder Rebuild: Factory Procedure

Section 35 deals with the hydraulic cylinders — hood cylinders, cab tilt cylinders, and the main lift cylinders. Page 1 lists torque specifications for the cylinder rod end and barrel nuts. The manual gives you a detailed disassembly and inspection sequence, including the correct o-ring cross-section and seal replacement order. I have seen this section used by a mechanic in Odessa who had to rebuild a cab cylinder on site because a seal blew out. One reference to the page, and he had the correct torque instead of the “good n tight” method that would have cracked the barrel.

241 Pages of OEM Data – No Aftermarket Guesswork

This is the same manual that Case France shipped with the machines. The binding is the original spiral, the text is in Spanish (the language of the OEM source), and every torque value, every fluid capacity, every clearance comes from the engineering department that designed the SV212 and SV216. Aftermarket manuals often round 89 Nm to 90 Nm — that rounding can be the difference between a seal that holds and a leak that shows up at the next service interval. Here you get the raw factory numbers, including the torque for the hydrostatic unit mounting bolts in Section 29 (Cento coupling). If you need a related manual for other Bomag rollers, check Bomag BW 219 D-4 PD-4 2007 Service Manual – 840 Pages of Factory Specs or the Bomag BMP 8500 2010 Service Manual – Factory Control Diagnostics and Bomag BW 62 H, BW 65 H 2006 Service Manual – Factory Specs. For a broader understanding of how manual transmissions work, you can reference Manual Transmission and Manual Transmission — though the SV216 uses a hydrostatic drive, not a conventional manual box.

Is This Manual in English or Spanish?

The service manual is entirely in Spanish.

What specific torque values are listed for the transmission reduction gear?

Section 21, Chapter 2 – Reduction Gear of Translation – provides torque specifications on page 2 for the gear housing bolts and on page 3 for the hydrostatic motor mounting flanges. The manual also references special tools for pulling the gear and gives the correct brake test pressure. Because the factory document uses metric values, you get the exact Newton-meter numbers from Bomag’s design engineers. If you are rebuilding a travel drive on an SV212 or SV216, these torque values are the ones that keep the gear from walking off the shaft under load. The same section includes a detailed view of the travel brake (page 6) and the complete disassembly and reassembly sequence with tolerance checks.
