Sections of the Manual

This Manual is prepared as a technical material in which the information necessary for the maintenance and repairing services of our hydraulic excavators are collected, and is categorized into 7 Chapters, Specification, Maintenance, System, Disassembly, Troubleshooting, Engine, and Installation Procedures for Optional Attachment.

When operating the machine after disassembly or parts replacement of the hydraulic equipment, piping, etc., be sure to release air from the hydraulic system. This is necessary to prevent seizure and cavitation of the hydraulic equipment. If the air is left in the hydraulic system, the air is compressed or expanded depending on the load, having an adverse effect on the smooth operation of the hydraulic equipment and shortening the service life.

The number is assigned to every part handled in this Manual on account of the description, but the parts, which cannot be supplied as service parts are contained.
