d e s i g n e d fo r u s e i n c o l d c l i m a t e s . S e e
Maintenance Section for reference. Keep
batteries fully charged.
3. Make certain to perform machine warm-up
procedures as described at the beginning of this
chapter to prevent premature wear or damage to
pumps, motors, and other components.
NOTE: In extremely frigid climates, covering the
radiator is a method to aid the machine warm-up. If
necessary to maintain operating temperature, cover
the outer edges of the radiator, leaving an opening in
the center part of the cover thus avoiding fan
overloading. Keep a close watch on the gauge for
warning icons during operation. It may be necessary
to use a coolant heater, fuel heater, engine heater
jacket, and/or additional battery power to aid engine
starting.
4. Make certain that the engine coolant mixture is
sufficient to keep the machine safe. Take into
consideration wind chill factors when mixing
coolant ratios.
NOTE: Mix coolant to a protection temperature of
5C (9F) lower than the machine may experience
during operation, storage or transport.
5. Keep battery terminals free of ice and snow. Ice
and snow could cause the terminals to short
circuit and cause extensive damage to the
machine system. Check the battery electrolyte
(acid) level frequently and fill as necessary with
distilled water. If the machine will be left outside
overnight, removing the batteries and storing in a
warm area is recommended.

WARNING: Do not drain the cooling system


when the engine is hot. Allow time to cool all
engine parts. Failure to comply could result in
injury or death.
6. Check the battery electrolyte (acid) level
frequently and fill as necessary with distilled
water.
7. Keep a close watch on the gauges for warning
icons during operation. Avoid unnecessary low
speed running of the engine during operation.
OPERATION IN HIGH ALTITUDES
1. Due to low atmospheric pressure at high
altitudes, a decrease in engine power will be
experienced. Be aware of this fact when placing
machine under heavy load in high altitudes
climates.
2. Keep close watch on the engine temperature
gauge to avoid overheating of the engine.
OPERATION IN SANDY AND DUSTY AREAS
1. Check the engine air cleaner elements frequently
in sandy or dusty conditions.
2. When air cleaner restriction lamp illuminates,
change filters immediately regardless of time
intervals.
3. Service fuel filter, water separator, engine oil and
filters, and all hydraulic filters frequently.
4. Keep the radiator, oil cooler, inter-cooler, and air
conditioning condenser clean.

OPERATION IN EXTREME HEAT


1. Use an engine oil, hydraulic oil and fuel designed
for use in hot climates. See Maintenance Section

OPERATION IN HUMID CLIMATE

BUCKET SELECTION GUIDE

1. In climates with high humidity, thoroughly wash


the machine daily and coat all bare surfaces with
an oil based lubricant to help prevent corrosion.
2. Operate the A/C with the cab doors and windows
closed.
LONGER UNDERCARRIAGE LIFE

Bucke t se lection is extremely impo r tant to a


machines productivity, durability, and stability.
Choosing an excessively large bucket can reduce
productivity due to slower than normal cycle times.
Using an oversized or overly wide bucket in severe
conditions such as mining, will lead to durability
problems for both the machine and bucket involved.

Undercarriage life varies upon the operation method.


Use the following guides to increase the life of the
machines undercarriage.

Stability will be adversely affected using a bucket that


is unnecessarily large.

1. Select the track shoe that best suits the


machines application. If in doubt, consult with
your dealer when selecting track shoes.

If the buckets used locally var y in weight from


recommended buckets, it will be necessary to adjust
the bucket capacity accordingly. A heavier bucket
must correspond to a reduced capacity.

2. Do not allow the tracks to slip during operation. If


this occurs, reduce load until slipping stops.
3. Avoid sudden starts, accelerations, abrupt speed
changes, high speeds on rough terrains, sharp
turns, and sudden stops.
4. Always operate machine in straight lines
whenever possible. Avoid short radius when
turning. Make turns with the largest possible
radius.
5. Prior to operation, clear boulders and obstacles
to prevent damage to track shoes.
6. Always operate machine parallel to the incline of
the slope. Operating machine across the incline
of the slope will not only shorten the machines
undercarr iage life, but the machine could
unexpectedly slide down hill, and/or roll over.
7. Do not force the machine to carry out work that
exceeds its working capability.
8. It is very important that inspections and
maintenance schedules be followed as indicated
in the Maintenance Section. Work conditions
may require these scheduled times to be
significantly shorter.
9. DO NOT OPERATE machine with loose track
shoes, and maintain proper track tension
adjustment at all times during operation.

87722071 NA

Issued 01-08

Bur

If the material density (weight) exceeds guidelines


specifications then the bucket capacity must be
reduced.
If the machine is to continuously dig rock, wasted
shale, river cobble or other severe applications the
narrowest bucket possible should be utilized. This
will allow the greatest possible penetration and
minimal twisting of the attachment (boom and arm).
Bucket capacity is not to be the prime consideration
for severe applications.
If a machine is used in a spoil pile operation, which
causes a large radius dump cycle, applicable loads
may have to be adjusted down by 5% from the Lift
Chart Values.
USE OF OPTIONAL ATTACHMENTS
If a machine is equipped with optional attachments,
applicable bucket sizes and suspended loads must
be reduced in direct proportion to the weight or
combined weight of these attachments. Failure to
consider the added weight of such attachments will
cause stability problems. Additionally the weights of
such attachments must be considered when the Lift
Chart is referred to before lifting a load.
IMPORTANT:
The operator must consider the weight of any device
utilized for lifting to properly calculate the total lifting
capacity of the machine.

The valve is used to shut off the flow of hydraulic oil
when changing attachment. Use a 19 mm hex to
open and close valves.

4-22

The breaker must have sufficient pressure between


the tool and the surface of the material intended to
break in order to allow the shock wave to flow
through the tool and to the material being broken.
The applied pressure has to be constantly adjusted
by combining the boom, arm, and bucket functions
so that the breaker follows the tool at all times during
breaker operation.
When the excavator boom is lowered, it normally
follows a curved path, which changes the original
perpendicular position of the breaker. It is very
important to keep adjusting the operators controls to
maintain constant perpendicularity between the
breaker and the surface of the material being broken.
In addition, the applied pressure should be sufficient
to avoid the breaker tool from bouncing on the rock
rather than transmitting the shock wave into it. The
applied pressure should not lift the machine high off
the ground, since the excavator can drop suddenly,
as the breaker breaks through the material, and
harmful shock loads will be transmitted through the
entire machine.

E. EXCAVATING AND TRENCHING

C. BREAKING OVERSIZE ROCKS

Figure 46

DC03M066

Do not attempt breaking oversize boulders from the


center. It is much more efficient to break these type
of rocks from the edges. Also, do not break into
smaller pieces than necessary. There is a direct
relationship between the size of the boulders and the
size of the breaker. It is inefficient to break large
rocks with small breakers and vice versa.

DC03M068

Figure 48

Lay back side walls a bit at the time so that they do


not interfere with the breaker housing. To lessen the
opportunity for side loading, approach each wall from
the opposite side by positioning the excavator
perpendicular to the trench.
F. RULES TO REMEMBER
Use the following rules for correct breaker operation:

D. SURFACE ROCK DEMOLITION

1. Make sure to adjust the proper hydraulic flow


according to the breaker specifications.
2. Place tool against material to be broken at 90
angle to work surface.
3. Use the boom, arm, and bucket controls to press
firmly against surface, keeping perpendicularity
while operating the breaker.
4. As material breaks, stop breaker quickly to
prevent idle strokes.
5. Reposition breaker if material does not break
after 15 seconds of operation.
Figure 47

DC03M067

Use the breaker just as if it were a hand held breaker,


or a plain hammer and chisel. Adjust the breakers
position according to the work to be done, and take
small bites at a time. The only difference between a
hand held breaker and the hydraulic excavator

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
The following safety precautions should be used in
conjunction with other safety precautions found in
this manual.
WARNING: Read, understand and follow all
safety precautions and operating procedures
found in this manual before operating the
machine or any attachment.
A. USE FOR INTENDED PURPOSE

Figure 51

DC04E063

DO NOT OPERATE boom, arm or bucket cylinders


at stroke ends when using a breaker attachment.
Doing this can cause undue stress on the cylinder
rods and result in damage.
E. AVOID CONTINUOUS OPERATION

DC04E061

Figure 49

Use the attachment only for its intended purpose. If


not used in accordance with the manufacturers
instructions, the excessive pressure exerted on the
boom, arm and frame structure of the machine will
cause premature failure of the components.
B. PASSENGERS
Never allow passengers on the attachment or
machine.
Figure 52

DC04E064

C. PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT

Operate the nibbler/breaker in one (1) minute


intervals. Operation for longer than one (1) minute at
a time can cause high oil temperatures and damage
the accumulators, cylinder seals and possibly pump
damage.

DC04E062

Figure 50

When operating attachments that produce flying


debris, installing protective guards on the machine is
highly recommended. Close all windows to protect
the operator from flying debris. Also the operator and
all personnel in the vicinity of the machine should
wear protective gear such as safety shoes, hard hat,
gloves and face shield or goggles.

CHAPTER 5 - LUBRICATION, FILTERS, AND FLUIDS


When you use Bio-degradable Oil (BIO OIL), refer to the following information:
1. There are two types of BIO OIL available; vegetable based and synthetic based. Synthetic based type is
recommended, as the vegetable based oil has a maximum usage temperature of 80C (176F). The
degradation of vegetable based oil occurs more rapidly and causes reduced service life.
2. Do not mix either type of BIO OIL with the original factory filled mineral oil. If BIO OIL is used, it is required to
flush the hydraulic system that was filled with mineral oil twice, before adding bio oil.
3. If you use BIO OIL, swing and propel parking brake performance will be reduced, because of the lower friction
of BIO OIL compared to that mineral oil.
4. For further information about recommended Bio-degradable oil, please contact local dealer.

CHAPTER 6 - MAINTENANCE AND ADJUSTMENTS


GUIDELINES TO REPLACE GROUND TOOLS

GUIDELINES FOR ATTACHMENT LUBRICATION

It is very important to keep bucket teeth and side


cutters properly tightened. Loose or missing bolts will
increase loads and eventually cause tool failure.
Extended operation with loose hardware can cause
the bolts to stretch and wear on the support mounting
holes. Heating of hardware and support mounting
holes will cause the same effect. Follow these
general guidelines to insure proper tightness of
hardware on bucket teeth and side cutters.

Lubricate attachment pins according to the intervals


indicated in the Maintenance Chart. Use extreme
pressure multipur pose grease No. 2 EP type.
Lubr icate all points until grease purges. The
lubrication intervals are based on an average duty
cycle. Average duty cycle is defined as Most typical
digging application, road construction in natural bed
clay, digging 50% - 60% of the daily work schedule

When installing new cutting edges, end bits, side


cutters, and bucket teeth, make sure that all
supporting surfaces are free of dirt, paint, debris,
rust, scale or weld splatter. All mating surfaces
must be clean and flat to insure that maximum
clamping force is obtained.

Make sure that all bolts and nut threads are clean
and dry. DO NOT APPLY ANY TYPE OF
LUBRICANT.

When installing end bits, start at the center and


work toward the outside edges.

Always torque bolts according to specifications.


For best results, strike all head bolts with a heavy
hammer to seat them properly before final torque.
WARNING: Wear safety glasses whenever
striking metal objects with a hammer. Failure
to comply could result in injury or death.

When new parts are used, the mating surfaces will


seat more uniformly and the bolts torque will be
less than the standard value after a short period of
operation. Make sure to check all bolts for proper
tightness on new parts after eight (8) hours of
operation.

Lower maintenance costs by replacing, turning, or


rotating cutting edges before they reach their wear
limits.

New pins and bushings, including new machines and


repairs require special break-in procedures. While
both pin and bushing have a special ground finish,
they still have to be mated to each other to eliminate
the machining high points.
Because of these high spots, it is recommended that
the front attachment or the repaired area be
lubricated a minimum of once every eight (8) hours
for the first 50 hours for a standard machine working
in an average duty cycle. This lubrication procedure
will reduce the possibility of a premature pin or
bushing failure during the break-in period.
While grease grooves in the bushings allow grease
to move around the bushing, it does not insure that
grease gets on all of the bushing surfaces. Any load
on the joint will prevent the grease from getting to the
wear surfaces in the loaded area. Due to the fact that
a hand operated grease dispenser does not provide
the volume of grease that a power system does,
there is a greater possibility of bushing galling,
unless the standard lubr ication procedure is
modified. No matter how much grease is pumped
into the pin bushing cavity with a hand grease gun,
the grease will tend to escape to the outside before
filling the grease cavity. Therefore, to avoid this
situation, the front attachment has to be repositioned
during the lubrication process, to move the load area
and allow the grease to cover the entire grease
cavity between the pin and bushing.

When finding loose bolts, check bolts for


elongation and support mount holes for wear.
Replace bolts and repair any wear on support
mounting hole if needed. Torque bolts according
to specifications.

BS07N387

WARNING: Make certain the starter switch


is in the OFF position before replacing fuses.
Fuses protect the electrical system from excess
current. Replace a blown fuse or any fuse generating
white powder on it.
Always replace fuses with a fuse of the same
capacity. The spare fuses are stored in the back side
of the fuse box cover.

Figure 2

If the electrical power does not come on when the


starter key switch is in the on position, the fusible link
may be the cause. Inspect and replace the red
fusible link (1).
The fusible link protects the electrical system from
current over load. The fusible link functions like a
fuse.
WARNING: Never replace a faulty fuse with
a higher amperage fuse. Never use a jumper
in place of a fuse. Never splice accessories
directly into fuse terminals.

CHAPTER 7 - ELECTRICAL
BATTERIES
Perform complete battery service on a new machine
after the first 50 hours of engine operation. Then,
check electrolyte (acid) every 50 hours.

WARNING:

Figure 4

BS07N390

Wear safety clothes, goggles or face shield,


gloves and safety shoes when working with
batteries.
Work in a well ventilated area.
Battery electrolyte (acid) is corrosive. If it
comes in contact with skin, eyes or clothing,
flush with large amount of water and seek
immediate medical attention.
Battery electrolyte (acid) produces hydrogen
gas that is highly explosive. Keep away
sparks, fire or flames and do not smoke when
working with batteries. Failure to comply
could result in injury or death.

3. Remove battery cell caps (1) and visually inspect


electrolyte (acid) level. Proper level is 10 - 15
mm (0.4 in. - 0.6 in.) above cell plates.
4. If necessary, fill each cell to proper level with
DISTILLED WATER ONLY.
5. Remove cables from terminals and clean with
hot water. Coat each terminal with a thin layer of
petroleum jelly. Clean cables in the same
manner and reinstall onto battery.
6. If cables are found to be in poor condition,
replace with new parts immediately.

ALTERNATOR
WARNING:
Prevent Battery Explosion:
Batteries give hydrogen gases that can
explode and cause personal injury.
Keep sparks, open flames and cigarettes
away from the batteries.
Keep metallic articles away from batteries.
Keep all ventilation caps tightly secured.
Never check charge by placing metal articles
across battery terminals.
Leave battery box open to improve ventilation
when charging.

Ask your Dealer to check the Alternator.


Make sure that the terminal protectors are correctly
installed.
Do not use steam cleaning equipment or a cleaning
solvent to clean the alternator.
STARTER MOTOR
Ask your Dealer to check the Starter Motor.
Make sure that the terminal protectors are correctly
installed.

NOTE: Battery life can be shortened by over


charging and over discharging of the battery.
Replace any battery that will not hold charge or is
difficult to charge.
7. Use a hydrometer to check the specific gravity of
each cell. Compare readings to the chart below.
NOTE: Use

CHAPTER 8 - SPECIFICATIONS

LIFTING CAPACITIES
1. Do not attempt to lift any load that exceeds the
rated values at their specified load radius and
height.
2. Lifting capacities assume a machine standing on
a level, firm, and uniform supporting surface.
Operator must make allowance for job conditions
such as soft or uneven ground, out of level
conditions, side loads, sudden stopping of loads,
hazardous conditions, inexperienced personnel,
weight of various other buckets, lifting slings,
attachment, etc.
3. Rating at bucket lift hook.
4. The rated loads are in compliance with SAE
Hydraulic Excavator Lift Capacity Standard
J1097. They do not exceed 87% of hydraulic
lifting capacity or 75% of tipping load. Rated
loads marked with asterisk (*) are limited by
hydraulic capacity rather than tipping load.
WARNING: Operator should be fully
acquainted with the Operators Manual
before operating this machine. Rules for safe
operation of equipment should be followed at
all times. Failure to comply could result in
injury or death.

8-10

5. Capacities apply to the machine as originally


manufactured and normally equipped by the
manufacturer.
IMPORTANT: The operator must consider the weight
of any device utilized for lifting to properly calculate
the total lifting capacity of the machine. Example:
1. If the excavator uses the same bucket size
indicated in the Lifting Chart, and a lifting cable,
etc. weighing 100 kg (220 lbs) is used for lifting,
then you have to subtract this additional 100 kg
(220 lbs) from every value indicated in the Lifting
Chart accordingly.
2. If a bucket is changed for a larger bucket, which
weight is more than the bucket indicated in the
Lifting Chart, then you have to subtract this
additional weight from every value indicated in
the Lifting Chart accordingly.
3. If a bucket is changed for a smaller bucket, which
weight is less than the bucket indicated in the
Lifting Chart, then you can add this additional
weight to every value indicated in the Lifting
Chart accordingly.
