FOREWORD

LEVEL OF VIBRATIONS TRANSMITTED TO THE OPERATOR The vibration level transmitted to the operator depends mainly on the conditions of the soil where the machine is being operated and on the use conditions of the machine and its equipment.

The exposition to vibrations can be remarkably reduced if the recommendations here below are followed: use equipment suitable for the machine and the type of work to be carried out; adjust and lock the seat in the correct position; regularly check the seat suspensions, if provided, and carry out adjustments or maintenance as required; carry out regularly the ordinary maintenance of the machine at scheduled intervals; operate the attachment evenly, avoiding sudden motion or extreme shocks, if possible; as far as possible, avoid travelling on particularly uneven soils or the impact with possible obstacles, such as large rocks.

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

The weighted average acceleration value to which the operator’s arms are subjected does not exceed 2.5 m/s2 (8.20 ft/s2).

The weighted average acceleration value to which the operator’s body is subjected does not exceed 0.5 m/s2 (1.64 ft/s2).

These results have been obtained by using an acceleration gauge during the excavation works.

NOTE: the Whole-body exposure value is determined under particular operating and terrain conditions and therefore may not be representative of all the possible operating conditions within the intended use of the machine. Consequently this single 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 actual working condition measurement. If this is not feasible use of information provided in the table below, from ISO/TR 25398:2006 (*), is suggested.

1. SAFETY PRECAUTIONS 11. Be careful when removing cover plates. Gradually back off the last two capscrews or nuts located at opposite ends of the cover or device and carefully pry the cover loose to relieve any spring or other pressure before removing the last two capscrews or nuts completely.

12. Be careful when removing filler caps, breathers and plugs on the machine. Hold a rag over the cap or plug to prevent being sprayed or splashed by liquids under pressure. The danger is even greater if the machine has just been stopped because fluids can be hot.

13. Always use the proper tools that are in good condition and that are suited for the job at hand. Be sure to understand how to use them before performing any service work.

14. Reinstall all fasteners with the same part number. Do not use a lesser quality fastener if replacements are necessary.

15. Repairs which require welding should be performed only with the benefit of the appropriate reference information and by personnel adequately trained and knowledgeable in welding procedures. Determine type of metal being welded and select correct welding procedure and electrodes, rods or wire to provide a weld metal strength equivalent at least to that of the parent metal. Make sure to disconnect battery before any welding procedures are attempted.

16. Do not damage wiring during removal operations. Reinstall the wiring so it is not damaged nor will be damaged in operation of the machine by contacting sharp corners, or by rubbing against some object or hot surface. Do not connect wiring to a line containing fluid.

17. Be sure all protective devices, including guards and shields, are properly installed and functioning correctly before starting a repair. If a guard or shield must be removed to perform the repair work, use extra caution and replace the guard or shield after repair is complete.

18. The maintenance and repair work done while the bucket is raised is dangerous due to the possibility of a falling attachment. Don’t fail to lower the attachment and place the bucket to the ground before starting the work.

19. Loose or damaged fuel, lubricant and hydraulic lines, tubes and hoses can cause fires. Do not bend or strike high pressurized systems, do not install bent or damaged lines. Inspect lines, tubes and hoses carefully. Do not check for leaks with your hands. Very small (pinhole) leaks can result in a high velocity oil stream that will be invisible close to the hose. This oil can penetrate the skin and cause personal injury. Use card-board or paper to locate pinhole leaks.

20. Tighten connections to the correct torque. Make sure that all heat shields, clamps and guards are installed correctly to avoid excessive heat, vibration or rubbing against other parts during operation. Shields that protect against oil spray onto hot exhaust components in event of a line, tube or seal failure must be installed correctly.

21. Do not operate a machine if any rotating part is damaged or contacts any other part during operation. Any high speed rotating component that has been damaged or altered should be checked for balance before reusing.

22. Be careful when servicing or separating the crawlers. Chips can fly when removing or installing a crawler pin.

Wear safety glasses and long sleeve protective clothing. Crawlers can unroll very quickly when separated. Keep away from front and rear of machine. The machine can move unexpectedly when both crawlers are disengaged from the sprockets. Block the machine to prevent it from moving.

Replacing rubber crawler belt must be done carefully by two people. The operator must operate the machine as instructed by the signals of the partner.

The rubber crawler belt is changed by lifting one side of the machine at a time. Unexpected lowering or movement of the machine can result in serious injury or death. Do not operate the boom, arm or bucket / attachment while removing or installing a rubber crawler belt. Follow the instructions provided.

Grease in crawler tensioning mechanism is under extreme pressure and can penetrate skin causing severe injury. Keep face and body away from grease fitting area. Do not loosen grease fitting more than one turn. If grease does not release after one turn of the fitting, call our dealer/distributor for assistance.

Before removing the rubber crawler belt, confirm that the pressure inside the crawler tensioning cylinder has been completely released. Then turn the sprocket. If the procedure on releasing the pressure in the crawler tensioning cylinder is not followed, grease can penetrate skin causing severe injury. If the tension of rubber crawler belt does not release, call the dealer/distributor for repair service.

PRACTICE TO IMPROVE EFFICIENCY

S WARNING •

•

SLEWING THE SUPERSTRUCTURE ON A SLOPE MAY CAUSE THE MACHINE OVERTURNING. DO NOT SLEW THE SUPERSTRUCTURE DOWN A SLOPE WITH A FULL BUCKET. PREPARE A LEVEL AREA FOR THE MACHINE TO OPERATE SAFELY. MAKE SURE THAT THE SLEWING AREA IS CLEAR FROM PERSONS OR OBSTACLES, BEFORE OPERATING THE ENGINE.

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

Refer to 4-33 for changing the bucket.

A. DIGGING INSTRUCTION 1. Use arm in action Use mainly the mere arm force for digging. Use the full bucket rotation stroke to fill it completely. Setting the bucket too deep will decrease the machine’s efficiency.

2. 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.

3. Bucket teeth direction.

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

4. 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.

5. Clean sand and soil from bucket.

Operate arm to a near level position and bring the bucket to a 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.

CAUTION WHILE USING RUBBER CRAWLERS

A. PROPER USAGE The rubber crawlers offers excellent features that steel crawlers do not possess.

However, if they are used in the same way as the steel crawlers, then their advantages cannot be fully exploited. Operation of the machine varies upon working site and conditions.

•

Although the rubber crawler displays many advantages because of its material properties, it has disadvantages in terms of strength. As a consequence, it is necessary to be familiar with the characteristics of this kind of crawler. Read thoroughly section “CAUTIONS WHILE USING RUBBER CRAWLERS” before use.

Comparison between rubber and steel crawlers B. WARRANTY OF RUBBER CRAWLERS Warranty does not cover such damages to the rubber crawlers that result from improper working or if their tension is inaccurate. Do not operate the machine over objects like steel plates, steel pipes, steel concrete rod, stone and rocks with sharp edges operating the machine over such objects will cause damage to the rubber crawler belts.

C. PROHIBITED WORK Do not carry out the following operations: 1. Do not travel nor work on following surfaces: gravel-mixed land, rugged and solid rock bed, reinforcing bar, iron scraps, edges of steel plates.

2. Do not operate and/nor travel in such places as river beds where there are lots of stones of different sizes. The rubber crawler tends to be damaged or come off from the rollers as the result of being caught in the grooves on the rubber crawlers. The life of rubber crawler is shorter, if it skids or rubs against the soil.

3. Do not let oil, fuel, solvents, etc., come in contact with rubber crawlers. If this happens, wipe off crawlers with a cloth immediately.

3-34

3. BASIC MACHINE OPERATION 4. Do not enter such hot places as an open-air fire, steel plate left in the open sun.

Do not work in asphalt leveling.

Heat will damage the rubber crawler belts.

5. If the machine has to be stored for a long period (more than three months), keep it indoors, so that it is not exposed to direct sunshine and rain.

Refer to 3-40 for the storage procedures.

6. Do not operate the rubber crawler belts in contact with ground when opposite is off the ground, see figure. The rubber crawler belts may come off the rollers or get damaged.

D. CAUTIONS ON USAGE Take care of following during work: 1. Rubber crawlers slip easily on icy surfaces.

Take the necessary safety precautions.

2. Avoid making a spin turn on a concrete road.

3. Avoid abrupt change of directions because it will cause early wear or chipping of the rubber crawler.

4. Exercise care so the rubber crawler is not damaged by the bucket while working.

5. Do not operate the machine by pressing the bucket against concretes and walls.

6. Lower the machine slowly, if it had previously been lifted by means of the attachment.

3-35

3. BASIC MACHINE OPERATION 7. If the machine is operated in salty corrosive places, the core metal can detach easily. Do not use the rubber crawler under such circumstances. If the rubber crawlers come in contact with these substances wash them with water.

8. The rubber crawlers have to be used with a temperature range between -25 °C and +55 °C (-13 to 131 °F).

NOTE: use the rubber crawlers under proper tension, to prevent them from coming off the rollers. Operate the rubber crawler carefully even when tensioning is proper.

9. Avoid changing machine direction on sites with different heights (about 20 cm (8 in)). To overcome the gap, place the machine perpendicular to the obstacle.

10. When climbing back on a slope, avoid changing direction of the machine while climbing on a point between a level ground and the slope.

11. If you travel on a slope with the machine higher at one side, this will risks to damage the rubber crawler. Both machine sides must travel at the same level.

3-36

3. BASIC MACHINE OPERATION 12. Do not change direction of the machine with the rubber crawlers on ground with high spots, as shown in the figure as it will cause the rubber crawler to come off or get damaged.

3. BASIC MACHINE OPERATION 3.1.17

MACHINE OPERATION WITH ADVERSE WEATHER CONDITIONS

A. OPERATION WITH EXTREME COLD

S CAUTION When the temperature is extremely low, oil flow is reduced due to increased viscosity, making start-up difficult. Coolant may freeze damaging cooler and/or engine.

A.1 FUEL AND OIL Use fuel and oil of high quality and low viscosity for each system. See section 4. Maintenance, “SPECIFICATIONS OF LUBRICANT, FUELS AND COOLANTS” 4-10 for details.

A.2 COOLANT •

In cold climates, the ratio of mixing antifreeze into the cooling system should conform with the lowest predicted ambient temperature. If coolant freezes, the radiator, crankcase and cylinder head may be damaged. To avoid freezing hazard, it is necessary to check that the cooling system is filled with an antifreeze mixture: otherwise replace the radiator coolant with this mixture.

•

When shipped from the factory, the machine contains coolant mixed with all-season-type LONG LIFE COOLANT.

•

It is recommended to inspect the coolant to maintain proper viscosity.

NOTE: in extremely frigid climates, covering the radiator is a method to aid the machine warm-up. If necessary to maintain temperatures, cover the outer edges of the radiator, leaving an opening in the centre part of the cover; thus, avoiding fan overloading. Keep a close watch on the gauge 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. Likewise, mix coolant to a protection temperature of 5 °C (9 °F), lower than the machine will experience during operation, storage or transport.

A.3 BATTERY When the temperature becomes low, the charging power decreases or the battery may freeze. Keep the charging rate as around 100% as possible and cover the battery with insulation material.

Perform test on the battery. We recommend the test be performed at room temperature for best results. Use a hydrometer to check the specific gravity of each cell and compare the readings with the table provided below.

NOTE: USE OF BIO-DEGRADABLE OILS When you use bio-degradable oil, please refer to following: • there are two types of bio-degradable 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 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 bio-degradable lubricant and the relevant specifications for use and maintenance, please refer to chapter 4.3.1 BIODEGRADABLE HYDRAULIC OIL.

INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE NOTE: biodegradable hydraulic oil must not be mixed with mineral hydraulic oil.

Oil change

Oil sampling for analysis

Every 2000 hours

Every 500 hours

Oil samples to be analysed should be taken every 500 hours of operation using the sampling kit and related instructions supplied by the Dealer.

The samples should be sent by the Customer to the Oil Manufacturer, who will carry out the necessary checks.

The Dealer will inform the customer if the oil features necessary for use have changed.

NOTE: if special equipments (hydraulic breaker, etc.) are used, oil sampling for analysis should be done every 250 hours.

NOTE: if the Dealer informs the customer that the oil has exceeded the service limits, proceed to its replacement. Failure to observe this measure will invalidate the warranty and may cause damages to the machine.

To change the biodegradable hydraulic oil, please proceed as indicated in the preceding pages.

REPLACING MINERAL HYDRAULIC OIL WITH BIODEGRADABLE HYDRAULIC OIL NOTE: when buying a machine filled with mineral hydraulic oil and wanting to replace it with biodegradable oil (optional), it is necessary to have the replacement operation carried out by the Dealer. This because an accurate drainage of mineral oil and a complete wash of the hydraulic system is necessary. Remember that mineral hydraulic oil must not be mixed with biodegradable hydraulic oil.

INSTALLING HYDRAULIC HOSE AND PIPE JOINTS

S WARNING When replacing any hose or seals, make sure the attachments are well secured to avoid sudden movement of attachment. Slowly remove fittings to release any hydraulic pressure during disassembly.

Metal joint and O-ring type fittings are used on this machine.

A. METAL JOINT The pressure exerted from the fitting (3) on the flexible (1) ensures the tightness (2). Use cautions to assemble and disassemble both pieces in order not to damage the seat.

B. O-RING SEAL JOINT The O-ring (2), allows insulating the oil pressure inside the 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 screws. 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.

Use exclusively O-ring seals without damages or faults.

B.1 O-RING 1. When servicing, replace the O-ring with new one.

2. If an O-ring fitting is found leaking caused by a loose fitting, do not tighten it. Install a new O-ring, check for proper fit and tighten it to the required torque.

3. Do not install a damaged or worn O-ring. Check new O-ring for damage. Install O-ring that are in good condition.

The material and hardness of O-ring differ for each size of O-ring. Use O-ring that meet the specification of this machine. Contact the dealer/distributor for assistance.

B.2 JOINT 1. Be careful not to damage hose, pipe and O-ring groove face and seal face (dent, etc.) of hydraulic equipment.

The use of a damaged parts causes oil leakage.

2. Prevent contamination.

Fittings with foreign matter inside causes oil leakage.

Do not use fitting with dirt, sand, dust etc. to avoid oil leaks and contamination.

B.3 HOSE 1. Hoses should not be twisted or bent sharply for installation.

The life of twisted or sharply bent hoses is decreased.

2. Clean the hose end fitting and the fitting used to connect the hose of any contamination. Remove any remaining solvent and dry parts completely before reassembly.

Wipe off any lubricant on fitting threads before reassembly.

An appropriate adjustment of tension on the rubber crawler belt is important not only for prolonging the service life on the rubber crawler belt and machine but also preventing the rubber crawler belt from moving out of place.

S WARNING SINCE THE ADJUSTMENT CHECK OF THE RUBBER CRAWLER TENSION IS CARRIED OUT WITH THE MACHINE LIFTED, THE SERIOUS DANGER THAT THE MACHINE FALLS IS ALWAYS REAL. NEVER MOVE THE MACHINE WHILE CHECKING AND ADJUSTING IT. WORK HAS TO BE PERFORMED BY TWO PERSONS, AND THE OPERATOR MUST OPERATE THE MACHINE IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE SIGNAL FROM THE PARTNER.

4-20

4. MAINTENANCE A. RUBBER CRAWLER The friction of the rubber crawler with the soil varies according to working conditions and soil nature. It is therefore necessary to check frequently the crawler tension and wear.

Therefore, frequently check crawler tension during the first 30 hours of new crawler service.

RUBBER CRAWLER A.1 CHECK CRAWLER TENSION 1. Move the rubber crawler so that the splice part (M mark) comes to the upper centre position.

2. Turn the superstructure of 90° and lower the bucket to lift the crawler as shown.

Keep the angle between the boom and the arm to 90° and 110° and position the round part of the bucket on the ground. Place the chocks (1) under the frame to support the machine.

3. Measure the clearance “A” between the lower face (2) of crawler frame and the upper face of crawler at the centre position of crawler frame (1).

Proper value (tension) “A”: Rubber crawler: 45 ~ 50 mm (1.77 ~ 1.97 in) Steel crawler: 90 ~ 95 mm (3.54 ~ 3.74 in) 4. If the tension is not within the expected values, loosen or tension the crawler according to the procedure of following section “A.2 ADJUSTMENT”.

NOTE: if the machine is operated with loose rubber crawler, there is the risk that the crawler springs and wears prematurely.

TRANSPORTATION PLANS

•

When preparing to transport the machine, refer to the chapter 6. “SPECIFICATIONS” and check the total weight, height, width, length, travelling speed, ground pressure, etc.

•

Obtain the width of roads, bridges, road surface conditions and traffic conditions for transportation.

•

Obtain any permits required from proper government agencies for the machine transportation.

A. LOADING/UNLOADING THE MACHINE

S WARNING • • • •

Slow speed travelling is necessity to load and unload the machine.

It is hazardous to use the attachment for loading and unloading the machine. Do not use the attachment for loading and unloading.

Use only the travelling controls when the machine is on the ramp.

Be prepared for a change in the machine position as the machine travels up or down the ramp. The machine may rock forward or rearward as the machine centre of gravity changes when travelling on the ramp or on the border between the crawler/trailer and the ramp.

Refer to section “TRANSPORTATION, 1-47” for caution on loading/unloading the machine.

B. USE OF A RAMP 1. The width and height of the loading area (earthen bank or loading platform ramp) must be high enough to match the trailer and wide enough to match the width of the machine and trailer, or wider.

2. The loading area surface must be able to support the weight of the machine to avoid a machine rollover. Make sure the loading area surface will support the weight of the machine, making improvement or repairs as necessary.

3. When loading the machine onto the truck: •

Machine with attachment.

Drive onto the truck front of machine first.

•

Machine without attachment.

Drive onto the truck rear of the machine first.

4. Position the machine on the truck/trailer for safe tie down and weight distribution.

The ramp slope should be 15° or less.

LIFTING PROCEDURES FOR THE COMPLETE MACHINE

S DANGER •

•

•

•

•

Wire rope or chain used for lift the machine must be of sufficient weight lifting capacity for this machine.

Improper lifting method or rope/chain rigging may cause unexpected movement or slip of the machine when lifted, resulting in serious injury or death or damage to the machine.

When lifting the machine operate the controls, slowly and smoothly avoiding any sudden/fast control movement for safety of people involved and lift rigging.

When the machine is lifted with assistance of one or more workers operation signals / communication must be understood by all involved to avoid injury or death.

During the machine lift procedure, keep people away from the area, especially the area under the machine.

Carry out the lifting work on firm level ground.

1. Position the machine as shown in the figure.

2. Position the boom to the front of the machine.

3. Stop the engine and move the safety lock lever to the “LOCKED” position. Get off the machine. Check the operator’s seat and area for any loose item, tools etc. that could fall or cause a problem or injury during the procedure and remove or secure them.

4. Install lift eyes / shackles at holes provided at both ends of the dozer blade. Connect the lift apparatus (wire rope or chain).

5. Connect the lift apparatus (wire rope or chain) to the boom, see figure.

6. Slowly start to raise the lift apparatus to check for any contact with the machine. If the lift apparatus touches the machine, protect the machine from damage by lowering the apparatus and placing a piece of wood or heavy cloth etc. between the machine and the apparatus.

7. Lift the machine slightly to make sure there is balance and control then with all others clear lift and lower the machine to the desired location.

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

The following safety precautions should be used in conjunction with all other safety precautions found in this MANUAL.

S WARNING READ, UNDERSTAND AND FOLLOW ALL SAFETY PRECAUTIONS AND OPERATING PROCEDURES FOUND IN THIS MANUAL BEFORE OPERATING THE MACHINE OR ANY ATTACHMENT. PASSENGERS This equipment is not intended or designed for the transportation of persons. Never allow persons to ride on the machine. Serious injury or death can result from allowing passengers on or in the machine.

NO PASSENGERS PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT When operating attachments that produce flying debris, it is highly recommended to procure and install protective guards on the machine and 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 clothing such as safety shoes, hard hat, gloves and face shield or goggles.

USE FOR INTENDED PURPOSE Use the attachment only for its intended purpose. If not used in accordance with the Manufacturer’s instructions, the excessive pressure exerted on the boom, arm and frame structure of the machine will cause premature failure of the components.

7-7

7. OPTIONAL EQUIPMENT CYLINDERS Do not operate the breaker with the excavator cylinders fully extended or retracted, to avoid attachment and/or cylinder damage.

AVOID CONTINUOUS OPERATION Operate the breaker with intervals of 30 seconds.

A prolonged attachment use can cause a temperature increase and the risk of serious damages to the pressure accumulators, to the cylinder seals and to the pump.

HOSE SWELLING Should the hydraulic hoses begin to swell or vibrate abnormally, during breaker or nibbler operation, immediately stop working and contact an authorized Dealer for assistance. This inconvenient is often due to pressure accumulators being damaged.

DO NOT USE DROPPING FORCE Do not use the dropping force of the attachment to let it fall on the material. This will cause extensive damage to the attachment and machine structure.

7-8

7. OPTIONAL EQUIPMENT DO NOT USE SLEW / SWING FORCE Never use the slew/swing force of the machine for pushing or sliding objects. This will cause premature failure of the attachment and other machine components.

DO NOT PRY WITH HYDRAULIC BREAKER Do not use the breaker to pry open and break rocks or concrete. This may damage the hydraulic breaker, and also boom, arm and cylinder.

ARM IN VERTICAL POSITION Do not operate with arm set perpendicular to soil. The piston rod joint and the same piston can get damaged.

DO NOT LIFT LOADS Never use an optional attachment to lift or transport objects or material. The failure to observe this instruction can cause extensive damage to the attachment and to the machine structures and cause injury or death.

9. SPECIAL PROCEDURE C. LOWERING BUCKET / ATTACHMENT ON A DISABLED MACHINE

S WARNING •

•

• •

The following procedure is to be used only in an emergency if the machine is disabled. Proceed with extreme caution. Keep people away from the bucket/attachment and excavator boom.

The weight of the bucket or attachment may cause unexpected movement of bucket/attachment, arm and boom during the procedure.

Block the bucket/attachment to avoid unexpected movement. Release the pressure in the hydraulic lines slowly until pressure is completely released.

Control the bucket/attachment movement by slowly removing the lock.

Do not enter the area under bucket/attachment while lowering.

To lower the bucket position, proceed as follows: When the bucket is in digging position (A) (bucket cylinder completely extended, see figure right), disconnect hose head (H) side. Conversely, when the bucket is in dump position (B) (bucket cylinder completely retracted, see the right figure), disconnect the hose rod (R) side.

NOTE: do not allow a hydraulic line or component to become contaminated. This could cause severe system damage. To the hydraulic system, contact the dealer/distributor to obtain the proper caps and plugs to be used on this machine.

NOTE: clean up all spilled oil. Dispose of all hazardous waste in accordance with government environmental laws and regulations.
