Dynapac CC42 Service Manual

You’ve got a CC42 vibratory roller that needs maintenance. The grease fittings are buried under dirt, the hydraulic oil level is questionable, and the maintenance schedule from the previous owner is a sticky note that fell off. I’ve seen too many rollers sidelined because someone used the wrong grease or skipped a 10-hour check. That’s why you need the Dynapac CC42 Service Manual – 27 pages of factory-specified procedures, not a reprint from some third-party that guesses at the NLGI grade. If you’re a shop tech or a fleet owner in San Antonio or anywhere else, this is the document that keeps the drum turning.

Lubricants and Grease Specs – Page 1 Data

Page 1 lays out exactly what goes where. For the grease points – drum hub, articulated joint, steering cylinder – it calls for lithium base with EP additive, NLGI No 2, Shell Alvania EP Grease 2 (or equivalent). Over-greasing causes overheating and rapid wear; the manual says it right there. Engine oil for the Deutz F6L 912: API CD/SE, SAE 10W/30, Shell Rimula X. Hydraulic oil gets Shell Tellus T 68 with anti-wear additive. And don’t forget the lubricating oil for the drum – SAE 80W/90 HD, API GL-5. These aren’t suggestions. They’re spec’d from Dynapac’s engineering department. If you use a different viscosity or additive package, you’re asking for pump cavitation or seal failure.

Maintenance Schedule – What Gets Done and When

The schedule on page 2 breaks down service points: water tanks, scrapers, drum oil level, hydraulic filters, air filter indicator, and the Deutz engine. Figure 1 shows 21 service points with callouts. Every 10 hours you check brakes, scrapers, fuel level, engine oil, air filter indicator, water filters, and hydraulic oil level. Every 50 hours you clean the air cleaner filter element and inspect hoses. The manual doesn’t let you skip a step. I’ve had to track down a vibration problem on a CC42 that turned out to be a loose shock absorber mount – that’s checked every 10 hours, according to the schedule. Pay attention to the intervals.

Every Day (10 Hours) – What to Actually Look At

Under “Every day” (page 6–8), the manual goes into each check: brake function – don’t just press the pedal; make sure the parking brake holds on a slope. Scrapers – adjust clearance if they’re more than 3mm from the drum. Fuel tank – fill after each shift to prevent condensation. Engine oil – dipstick reading with machine level. Hydraulic oil tank – check sight glass, page 8. These aren’t generic steps; they’re written for the CC42’s layout. The manual tells you to clean the screen in the sprinkler device (page 8). I’ve seen a plugged screen cause water starvation to the spray bars, then the asphalt sticks and you get a load of complaints.

Deutz F6L 912 Engine – Separate Manual Required

Page 1 says explicitly: “Have the instruction manual for the Deutz F6L 912 diesel engine to hand.” This service manual covers the roller chassis, not the engine internals. It references the Deutz manual for oil change intervals and fuel system service. Don’t call me asking where the injector timing specs are – they’re in the Deutz book. What you do get here is the lubrication schedule for the engine oil (API CD/SE), the hydraulic system that relies on the engine PTO, and the maintenance intervals that keep the whole package working. Related manuals like the DYNAPAC CC42 Vibratory Roller Operation Manual will complement this if you need operating instructions. For other Dynapac models, check the Dynapac CP 21 CP 22 CP 27 CP 30 Service Manual – 50 Pages OEM Specs or the Dynapac CA25 Service Manual – 50 Pages of Factory Maintenance for Vibratory Roll.

Source Authenticity – Factory Print vs Aftermarket PDFs

This 27-page PDF is an original Dynapac factory service manual, not a scanned copy from a third-party republisher. The content comes from the OEM – Dynapac Heavy Equipment AB, Sweden, phone number and telex included. The page 1 note “We reserve the right to change specifications without notice” is a real factory disclaimer. I’ve owned a shop for 28 years; aftermarket manuals that reprint torque specs are often wrong by 10-15%. Don’t trust a generic Google result. This document gives you the exact grease type, the exact interval, the exact diagram. If you need transmission-related specs for the roller’s hydrostatic drive, you can cross-reference with Manual Transmission documentation, but the manual here is your primary source.

Special Instructions – Extreme Temperature Lubricants

Page 26 covers special instructions – the manual warns that in extremely high or low ambient air temperatures, different lubricants are required. For example, if you’re running in -10°F, SAE 10W/30 engine oil won’t cut it; you might need synthetic blends. Contact Dynapac for the correct viscosity if you’re outside the chart on page 1. This is the kind of detail that aftermarket reprints leave out. The manual includes a chart for air temperature vs viscosity: SAE 10W/30 for -14°F to +86°F, SAE 10W/40 for -14°F to +122°F, and SAE 40 for +68°F to +122°F. If you skip this section, you’ll have cold start failure or hot idle oil pressure drop.

How many pages is this Dynapac CC42 service manual?

27 pages, covering lubricants, maintenance schedule from daily to yearly, and special instructions. Page 1 has the grease and oil specs; page 2 shows the maintenance schedule with 21 service points.

Does it include torque specs for wheel lug nuts or drum bolts?

This manual covers lubrication and maintenance intervals, not mechanical repair torque values. You need the Dynapac repair manual for drivetrain disassembly. This one focuses on greasing, oil changes, filter checks, and adjustments.

Can I use this manual for the Dynapac CC42A or CC42C?

Not directly. The manual is specific to the CC42 with the Deutz F6L 912 engine. Variations like CC42A may have different drum configurations or engine options. Check the model number on your machine’s ID plate before using.

Where can I find the correct oil for the drum hub?

Page 1 specifies lubricating oil SAE 80W/90 HD (API GL-5), Shell Spirax HD 80W/90. If you can’t find Shell, use an equivalent that meets those specs. Overfilling the drum oil level can cause heat buildup – the manual gives the fill procedure but not a capacity in quarts.

You’ve got a CC42 that needs to stay productive. Every shift you skip a check is a risk of a breakdown that costs you a day of rental income or a paving deadline. The factory manual puts the right grease, the right interval, and the right procedure in your hands. Access the Factory Manual now and stop relying on memory or a faded sticky note. Your roller will thank you – and your wallet will too.
