Performance Displacement: Typically in the range of 10-12 liters for this size of articulated dump truck (specifics depend on the exact engine variant). Horsepower Range: Generally between 300-400 HP for a T450D class machine (specifics depend on engine variant). Torque Range: High torque output, typically exceeding 1200 lb-ft, crucial for hauling heavy loads in demanding conditions. Fuel System Injection Type: Likely electronically controlled unit injector (EUI) or common rail direct injection for modern efficiency and emissions control. 🔧 Transmission Standard Transmission Type: Heavy-duty automatic transmission, typically an Allison or ZF planetary gear type, designed for off-road and heavy-duty applications. Features Gear Selection: Electronically controlled with multiple forward and reverse gears, often featuring a torque converter for smooth power delivery. Cooling: Integrated transmission oil cooler, often linked to the main engine cooling system or a dedicated cooler. 📐 Dimensions Exterior Articulation Angle: Typically around 40-45 degrees each way, enabling excellent maneuverability in confined spaces. Weights Operating Weight: Expected to be in the range of 30,000 - 40,000 lbs (13,600 - 18,100 kg) (specifics vary). Payload Capacity: Rated for payloads in the region of 40-50 US tons (approx. 36-45 metric tons), hence the '450' in the model name. 🛡️ Safety Features Active Features Articulation Locking: May include safety systems to lock the articulation during certain operations or transport. Passive Features Cab Protection: ROPS (Roll-Over Protective Structure) and FOPS (Falling Object Protective Structure) are standard for operator safety. 💡 Technology Features Infotainment Cab Features: Designed for functionality and operator comfort in demanding environments. Includes robust HVAC systems, ergonomic controls, and clear instrumentation. Driver Assistance Telematics Options: Modern Volvo ADTs often feature telematics systems for remote monitoring of machine health, location, and performance (e.g., Volvo CareTrack). The manual may cover diagnostic access to these systems. 🔧 Maintenance Service Intervals Engine Oil Change: Typically recommended every 250-500 operating hours, depending on operating conditions and oil analysis. The manual will provide precise intervals and specifications. Hydraulic Fluid Change: Intervals usually range from 1000-2000 operating hours, with filtration and oil analysis being critical. The manual will detail specific change intervals and filter part numbers. Fluid Specifications Engine Oil Viscosity: Likely a heavy-duty diesel engine oil such as SAE 15W-40 API CI-4 or...
