2 - SAFETY INFORMATION

Vibration levels The vibration level transmitted to the operator depends mainly upon the conditions of the ground on which operations take place, the mode of operation of the machine and its equipment. The exposure to vibrations can be considerably reduced when the following recommendation are complied with: • use equipment compatible with the machine and the type of work do be done; • adjust and lock the seat in the correct position; also inspect regularly the suspensions of the seat, if provided, and perform the adjustments and repairs as required; • perform regularly the current maintenance operations of the machine at the prescribed intervals;

• when travelling, avoid, as far as possible, particularly rough terrain or the impact against possible obstacles.

The exposure is dependant on machine operating techniques and can be controlled by following the instructions described in this manual.

• The weighted average quadratic acceleration value to which the operator’s arms are subjected does not exceed 2.5 m/s².

• The weighted average quadratic acceleration value to which the operator’s body is subjected does not exceed 0.5 m/s². These results were obtained using an acceleration gauge during the excavation works.

• operate the equipment in a uniform manner, preventing, as far as possible, sharp movements or extreme shocks; NOTE: the Whole-Body exposure value is determined under particular operating and terrain conditions and therefore may not be representative for all the possible operating conditions within the intended use of the machine. Consequently this single Whole-Body vibration emission value is not intended to determine the Whole-Body vibration exposure as required by European Directive 2002/44/EC. For this purpose it is recommended to conduct working conditions measurement. If this is not feasible use of information provided in the table below from ISO/TR 25398:2006 (*).

Practices to improve efficiency • Slewing the upper structure on a slope may cause the machine’s overturning. On a slope, it is very dangerous to slew the upper structure downhill with full bucket.

Prepare a level area for the machine to operate safely.

• Make sure the rotation area is clear of persons and obstacles before operating the engine.

NOTE: The optional attachments offer a wider range of application other than the showed ones.

Digging instructions Use mainly the mere arm force for digging. Use the full bucket rotation travel to fill it completely. Setting the bucket too deep will decrease the machine’s efficiency.

Maximum digging force position The attachment will provide maximum digging force when arm and boom are positioned at 90 - 110 ° from each other. Operate slowly to get maximum digging force.

Bucket teeth direction LELI11E0228AB

Direct bucket teeth parallel to digging direction. The bucket must be used for shallow diggings, so as to reduce the resistance and avoid damaging the teeth.

Operate boom carefully Activate boom operation by moving the control levers carefully. Do not perform sudden starts and stops of the boom as this creates unnecessary stress on the machine and its components.

Clean sand and soil from bucket Place the arm in horizontal position and bring the bucket to the dumping position. If sand and soil do not fall out, move the bucket lever right and left a few times to remove soil stuck to the bucket.

Operating the dozer The dozer is used to push the soil back into an excavated ditch or for ground levelling.

To distribute the earth heaped up on the ground using the dozer, start from the top or from the sides of the heap. If necessary, adjust the height of the dozer by means of the relevant control lever, to prevent overloading the engine.

Offset digging NOTICE: When the slewing range of the boom is wider, pay attention to the conditions of the surrounding area.

By pressing the left and right sides of the slewing pedal (1) alternately, the boom (2) slews in left and right directions, enabling offset digging in narrow spaces.

By pressing the left side (B) of the slewing pedal (1), the boom slews leftward, and by pressing the right side (A), the boom slews rightward.

The advantage of this function is that it enables offset digging work as shown in the figure: A. SLEWING RIGHT B. SLEWING LEFT

Machine operation in adverse weather conditions Operation in extreme cold

low dirt and debris to accumulate in the radiator fins, oil cooler fins or debris screen.

• Follow procedures on page (Starting the engine in cold conditions) as starting engine may be difficult due to extremely cold temperatures.

• Use an engine oil, hydraulic oil and diesel fuel designed for use in cold climates.

• Keep batteries fully charged.

• During the engine WARM-UP phase do not increase the engine rpm to prevent premature wear or damage to pumps, motors and other components.

NOTICE: in extremely frigid climates, covering the radiator is a method to aid the machine warm-up. If necessary to maintain operating temperatures, 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 instrument cluster 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.

• Keep batteries terminals free of ice and snow. Ice and snow could cause the terminals to short circuit and cause extensive damage to the machine systems.

Check the batteries electrolyte (acid) level frequently and fill as necessary with distilled water. If the machine will be left outside overnight, it is recommended to remove the batteries and store in a warm area.

• Make certain that the engine coolant mixture is sufficient to keep the machine safe. Take into consideration wind chill factors when mixing coolant ratios.

NOTICE: mix coolant to a protection temperature of 5 °C lower than the machine will experience during operation, storage or transport.

Mud and water adhering to the machine may freeze interfering with proper machine operation. Use the following general guidelines as reference to prevent malfunctions:

• Keep all belts properly tensioned.

• Make certain that the engine coolant mixture is sufficient to keep the machine safe.

• If the machine becomes overheated, idle the machine to help cool the engine, turn the engine off and check coolant level. After filling to proper level the machine continues to over heat, stop engine, allow to cool, drain and flush entire cooling system and refill with the proper mixture of fresh, clean coolant.

• Check the batteries electrolyte (acid) level frequently and fill as necessary with distilled water.

• Keep a close watch on the instrument cluster for warning icons during operation. Avoid unnecessary low speed running of the engine during operation. During slow, or no work periods, place throttle control lever to LO position.

Operation in high altitudes • 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 altitude climates.

• Keep close watch on the coolant temperature meter to avoid overheating of the engine.

Operation in sandy and dusty areas Air filter • Check the engine air filter element frequently in sandy or dusty conditions. Clean or replace the filter element at the corresponding intervals Radiator • Clean the radiator regularly to prevent the radiator core from becoming clogged with dust.

• Remove water and mud from the machine. Remove water adhering to the travel system thoroughly and park on dry ground to prevent the travel system from freezing.

• Retract the hydraulic cylinder rods as much as possible to reduce the exposed areas of the rods. This will prevent mud or water on the rod faces from damaging the seal.

Fitting with O-ring The O-ring (2), allows to insulate the oil pressure inside of hose (1) and to avoids oil spillages.

The tightening torque of the joint of each hydraulic hose (1) is determined by the diameter of the hose fitting thread.

If you notice a fault of operation, repair hose connection or replace it.

When connecting worn parts, pay particular attention to keep sealing surfaces clean from dirt and try not to damage them.

O-ring If the fitting is loose and oil leaks may occur, do not tighten it. It is necessary to install a new O-ring and to check again for tightness.

Never install a damaged and deteriorated O-ring even if it is new one. The use of an O-ring other the specified one, causes oil leakage and short life of hydraulic equipment.

Joint Be careful not to damage hoses, pipes or seal faces, this can impair the tightness.

Keep seal surfaces free from dirt.

Fitting with foreign matter inside causes oil leakage.

Hose Avoid high pressure hoses to twist during connection. Life of twisted hoses is drastically reduced.

Wash pipes and hoses, both inside and outside, with washing fluid and accurately dry them before reconnection.

Use of biodegradable oils When you use biodegradable oil, please refer to following: • There are two types of biodegradable oil available: vegetable-based and synthetic-based. We recommend using synthetic oils, because vegetable ones have a maximum operating temperature of 80 °C (176 °F). For this reason, the degradation of vegetable-based oil occurs more rapidly, and they have a reduced service life.

• Do not mix bio-oil with original factory-filled mineral oil; in case it is necessary to use bio-oil, flush the hydraulic system that was filled with bio-oil three times.

• If you use bio-oil, the performance of the rotation brake and that of the parking/travel brake will be reduced, because of the lower friction factor of bio-oil compared to that of mineral oil.

• For further information about the type of biodegradable lubricant and the relevant specifications for use and maintenance, please refer to chapter ACCESSORIES.

Use of coolant • There are two types of coolant depending on the corrosion inhibitors base: ORGANIC-base and INORGANIC base.

• Mini excavators is ORGANIC-base type factory filled.

• Both type can be used, BUT THEY CANNOT BE MIXED. Flush the cooling system before change coolant type.

Track width enlargement (only CX18B models) Check and, if necessary, adjust the clearance when the operator realize that clearance has increased so that the operation of the machine is difficult.

To check the clearance, proceed as follows: 1.

Lift up the machine by around 30 cm (11.81 in) to secure the working space under the machine and set a stable supporting stand at front and rear of the lower frame.

2.

Lower the bucket to the ground.

3.

Reduce the track width to the minimum, then slightly enlarge it (a few cm are sufficient) so that any interference between the adjusting screw and the corresponding slot in the track roller frame is prevented.

4.

Check the clearance of the tubular and adjust it by tightening the screws (1).

5.

The screws must be hand-tightened until they are in contact with the tubular. Now lock them by tightening the nuts (2).

NOTE: clearance checking and adjusting must not be performed with the lower frame resting on the ground in order to prevent: • only partially adjusting clearance; • any risk of sticking when reducing/enlarging the track width.

STORAGE

Precautions when storing the machine for a long period When storing the machine for more than one month, observe the following points to prevent the machine function from deteriorating.

Clean the machine • Wash the machine thoroughly.

• Check the travel system for any malfunctions and service as required.

• Lubricate every required part.

Lubrication • Check the lubrication oil to make sure it is at the proper level and for contamination.

• If necessary, add oil to the motor. If engine oil is contaminated, discharge it.

• Lubricating oil deteriorates even when the machine is not used.

• Check the oil before operating the machine again.

Battery • Remove the battery and store it in a dry protected place.

• If the battery is not removed, disconnect its negative terminal.

Coolant • If there is a possibility that the coolant may freeze, add antifreeze in the coolant suitable for the outside temperature.

• Normally, long life coolant is mixed in, so it is not necessary to change the coolant.

Dust and humidity prevention Store the machine in a dry and protected place. Should the machine has to be left outside, position it on a wooden table and cover it with a waterproof sheet, placed so as to allow ventilation.

• Retract as far as possible all cylinders rods. Otherwise, coat the exposed cylinder rods with grease.

• Lower the bucket to the ground and place wedges under the crawlers.

• Lubricate all greasing points.

• Paint parts needing it to prevent rust formation.

7-74

7 - MAINTENANCE

Care during storage Periodical lubrication during storage If the applied oil layer is insufficient, irregular wear may occur during the machine use.

Start the engine, operate the machine and the attachment, etc. once a month to lubricate all of the parts.

• Before starting the engine, check the engine oil and coolant level. Top up, if necessary.

• Remove rust preventing agent covering cylinders and rods.

• Apply rust inhibitors to cylinder rods.

• After starting the engine, warm up the machine completely. Operate the travel, rotation and digging functions 2 or 3 times to lubricate the sliding surfaces.

• Ensure proper ventilation during warm-up operations.

Removal from storage Using the machine after prolonged storage Before placing the machine back into operation, proceed as follows before starting up: • Fully wiped off the rust inhibitors from the cylinders and piston rods.

• Refill fluids to proper levels and lubricate as required.

• Thoroughly check all systems prior to operating the machine at full load.

• Check condition of all hoses and connections.

• Replace engine oil and fuel filters and top up engine oil.

10 - ACCESSORIES

Selection of hydraulic attachment Before fitting of the hydraulic attachment on the excavator, it is necessary to choose a model satisfying the required features as to stability, hydraulic pressure, and oil quantity of the hydraulic system. In order to choose the most suitable hydraulic attachment for the machine specifications, contact your Dealer.

NOTE: Max operating flow of hydraulic PTO is 30 l/min (7.9 US gpm) ( CX15B) / 26 l/min (6.9 US gpm) ( CX18B).

Max operating pressure of hydraulic PTO is 206 bar (2987 psi) ( CX15B) / 216 bar (3132 psi) ( CX18B).

Before operating hydraulic attachment Contact your Dealer for pipings, for the installation of the hydraulic attachment and for the replacement of the hydraulic oil return filter, according to the maintenance schedule enclosed. Thoroughly read the hydraulic attachment operation manual and the safety instructions described in this manual to prevent damaging the machine or the hydraulic attachment during operation.

Prevention of hydraulic oil contamination Blanking plugs are provided on PTO connecting points for attachment hoses. When hydraulic PTO is not used, apply blanking plugs on machine connecting points and on attachment connecting points, to prevent the penetration of foreign bodies. Before starting operation, check the fixing clamps for looseness, and the tubes and hoses fittings for leakage.

10-2

10 - ACCESSORIES

AUX lines unload Hydraulic PTO is a high pressure hydraulic circuit. AUX lines have to be unloaded before connecting and disconnecting hydraulic attachment.

WARNING Escaping fluid!

Hydraulic fluid or diesel fuel leaking under pressure can penetrate the skin and cause infection or other injury. To prevent personal injury: Relieve all pressure before disconnecting fluid lines or performing work on the hydraulic system. Before applying pressure, make sure all connections are tight and all components are in good condition. Never use your hand to check for suspected leaks under pressure. Use a piece of cardboard or wood for this purpose. If injured by leaking fluid, see your doctor immediately.

Failure to comply could result in death or serious injury.

W0178A

To unload AUX lines, proceed as follows: 1. Park the machine on a level surface and rest the attachment to the ground.

2. Shut down the engine and lock the controls.

5. Press the left pedal (1) in (A) position for 2 seconds: the right side AUX line is thus unloaded.

6. Press the left pedal (1) in (B) position for 2 seconds: the left side AUX line is thus unloaded.
