The instruction manual contains important information on how to operate the machine safely, properly and with maximum efficiency. Observing these instructions helps to prevent hazardous situations, to reduce repair costs and downtimes and to increase the reliability and service life of the machine.

The instruction manual must be supplemented by the respective national rules and regulations for accident prevention and environmental protection.

The operating instructions must always be available in the operator’s cab of the machine.

The operating instructions must be read and put into practice by any person in charge of carrying out work with or on the machine, such as - operation, including setting-up, troubleshooting in the course of work, care, evacuation of production waste and disposal of fuels and consumables.

- maintenance (inspection, servicing, repair) and / or - transport.

In addition to the operating instructions and the mandatory rules and regulations for accident prevention and environmental protection in the user’s country and at the place where the machine is to be used, the generally recognized technical rules for safe and proper working must be observed.

[1]

2804199

The operating instructions are directed to the construction-machine specialist. They cannot provide basic know-how. This can be acquired, for example, in several days’ instruction by a qualified O&K-Mining mechanic or by attending an O&K-Mining training course for operators or maintenance personnel.

The O&K-Mining after-sales service will be pleased to deal with any queries you may have after reading through the operating instructions.

All O&K-Mining operating manuals are issued in German and then translated. Even a good translation may give rise to questions which O&K-Mining will be pleased to answer.

The operating instructions are not working instructions for carrying out major repairs. Such work is willingly done for you by the O&K-Mining aftersales service.

The documentation relating to the machine is listed according to scope, quantity and language in the shipping note of the machine or in the covering letter if supplied separately. The operating instructions and spare-parts list are marked with the serial number of the machine.

On taking receipt of the consignment, please check that the documentation is complete and in the language requested by you.

Complies with VDMA recommendation "Operating Instructions"

Warnings and symbols The following signs are used in the manual to designate instructions of particular importance: Precautionary rules and measures designed to protect the machine operator and other persons from life-threatening danger or injuries and to prevent extensive damage.

Information and precautionary measures designed to prevent damage to the machine or other property.

DESIGNATED USE

2804260

The machine has been built in accordance with state-of-the-art standards and the recognized safety rules. Nevertheless, its use may constitute a risk to life and limb for the user or third parties or cause damage to the machine and to other material property.

The machine must be used only in technically perfect condition in accordance with its designated use and the instructions set out in the operating manual, and only by safety-conscious persons who are fully aware of the risks involved in operating the machine. Any functional disorders, especially those affecting the safety of the machine, should therefore be rectified immediately.

The excavator with loading bucket or backhoe attachment is designed solely for excavating and loading: - excavated soils, - sand, - gravel, - blasted rock, - ore, - coal, and other raw materials.

4

Fitted with other attachments, the excavator can also be used as a special-purpose machine, e.g. with a load-hook. Further detailed information can be found in the Technical Specifications.

Operating the machine within the limits of the designated use also involves observing the instructions set out in the operating manual and complying with the inspection and maintenance directives.

Using the excavator or its attachments for purposes other than or extending beyond those stated above, e.g.: - for lifting or transporting persons, - as a working platform, - for lifting crane loads without the equipment being approved for this purpose, - for driving in posts, supports, sheet-piles etc. without the equipment being approved for this purpose, is considered contrary to the designated use.

Improper use may involve a lifethreatening risk for operators or other personnel or may cause injury or extensive damage.

The manufacturer/supplier cannot be held liable for any damage resulting from other than the designated use. The risk involved in such misuse lies with the user.

Noise emission specification in acc. with the 3rd Ordinance of the Machine Safety Act of 18th January 1991 resp. with EC Machine Directive, Annex I, para. 1.7.4 f.

If the earth-moving machine is operated in accordance with the designated use, the installation of driver´s seats complying with ISO 7096 ensures that the considered vibration accelerations azw (measured as per ISO 2631, Part 1) fulfil the requirements of protecting the driver against wholebody vibration.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS RH 30 E Organizational measures The operating instructions must always be at hand at the place of use of the machine, e.g. by stowing them in the place provided for such purpose.

In addition to the operating instructions, observe and instruct the user in all other generally applicable legal and other mandatory regulations relevant to accident prevention and environmental protection.

These compulsory regulations may also deal with the handling of hazardous substances, issuing and/or wearing of personal protective equipment or traffic regulations.

The operating instructions must be supplemented by instructions covering the duties involved in supervising and notifying special organizational features, such as job organization, working sequences or the personnel entrusted with the work.

Personnel entrusted with work on the machine must have read the operating instructions and in particular the chapter on safety before beginning work. Reading the instructions after work has begun is too late. This applies especially to persons working only occasionally on the machine, e.g. during setting up or maintenance.

Check - at least from time to time - whether the personnel is carrying out the work in compliance with the operating instructions and paying attention to risks and safety factors.

For reasons of security, long hair must be tied back or otherwise secured, garments must be close-fitting and no jewellery, such as rings, may be worn. Injury may result from being caught up in the machinery or from rings catching on moving parts.

2413495

Observe all safety instructions and warnings attached to the machine.

See to it that safety instructions and warnings attached to the machine are always complete and perfectly legible.

In the event of safety-relevant modifications or changes in the behaviour of the machine during operation, stop the machine immediately and report the malfunction to the competent authority/person.

Never make any modifications, additions or conversions which might affect safety without the supplier’s approval. This also applies to the installation and adjustment of safety devices and valves as well as to welding work on load-bearing elements.

Spare parts must comply with the technical requirements specified by the manufacturer. Spare parts from original equipment manufacturers can be relied on to do so.

Replace hydraulic hoses within stipulated and appropriate intervals, even if no safety-relevant defects have been detected.

Adhere to prescribed intervals or those specified in the operating instructions for routine checks and inspections.

For the execution of maintenance work, tools and workshop equipment adapted to the task on hand are absolutely indispensable.

Undercarriage The undercarriage of the hydraulic excavator serves as a stable base and for travelling. The crawler tracks are driven hydraulically with hydraulic motors and travel gearboxes. Undercarriage and superstructure are connected by means of a slewing ring.

Superstructure The superstructure accomodates the drive unit and part of the hydraulic and electrical equipment.

Drive unit The drive unit comprises the diesel engine, the pump transfer gearbox, the hydraulic pumps, hydraulic cylinders and hydraulic motors.

2 804 400.00 en

19

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS RH 30 E Hydraulic system All working and travelling movements are performed hydraulically. The movements are controlled by servo-valves. The working commands are initiated by hand and transmitted to the valves via control circuits. The oil supply from the superstructure to the undercarriage is ensured by the rotor. The hydraulic system is overload-protected by pressure-relief valves. The hydraulic pumps are supplied with oil from a hydraulic reservoir.

Pump-Managing-System The Pump-Managing-System (PMS) with a loadlimit regulation ensures optimum utilization of the installed or preset engine power. The electronic pump load-sensing control prevents the machine from demanding more hydraulic power than the diesel engine can furnish. A micro-processor ensures that the hydraulic output power of the pump is optimally suited to the actual working conditions.

The PMS Box (load-limit regulator) is located in the driver’s cab (behind the control center).

Load-Sensing control / Zero-flow regulation In the fine-control range, swivelling of the hydraulic pumps, and thus the variation of oil flow, are proportional to the control lever and pedal valve variation. This means that during the work, the pumps supply only as much hydraulic oil as required to perform the working movement.

In the neutral position of the control levers, the pumps are automatically swivelled to zero-flow.

These special features offer the following advantages: • reduced fuel consumption • minimum power losses • reduced temperature of the hydraulic oil • greater service life of hydraulic pumps and diesel engine.

Automatic engine speed reduction If the control pedals and control levers and thus the servovalves remain without actuation for a period of 10 seconds or more, the engine speed is automatically reduced to idling. This function is a further contribution to fuel economy.

Electrical system The electrical system operates on 24 volts.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS RH 30 E Corrosion protection for pins and bearings (bushings and hubs) Use Voler A.C. anti-corrosive agent only.

Other agents are not approved by O&K. All pins and bearings (bushings and hubs) of the working equipment or in equipment componenents must be treated with Voler A.C. anticorrosive agent before fitting.

Voler A.C.: • permits easy fitting and dismantling • protects against rust, oxidation and similar wear • prevents seizing and fretting corrosion in nonmoving parts of bearings.

This is achieved by aluminium and copper particles forming a protective layer on the metal. This layer removes surface irregularities and does not sweat, seize or harden.

Part nos. for Voler A.C. SN 0 271 554 - 0,5 l spray can (CFC-free)

2281259

Application of Voler A.C. • Clean off grease, oil, dirt and corrosion protection agents from pins and bearings using white spirit or diesel fuel.

Rust patches must be thoroughly removed, if any.

All parts must present a dry, bright metal surface.

• Apply a thin layer of Voler A.C. on pins and all bearings using a brush or a spray can. Pin shafts and bearings must be completely covered by the protective layer.

If the protective layer of a pin already treated with Voler A.C. is damaged, these areas must be touched up before fitting the part.

• Fitting and securing of pins If the pin is too heavy to be fitted manually, apply Voler A.C. at first only on abt. a quarter of the pin’s length Then position pin by means of a lifting gear ready for fitting.

Apply Voler A.C. on the remaining length of pin shaft, fit pin and secure.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS RH 30 E Lifting-gear operation - Safety instructions Never use the machine for liftinggear operation unless it is equipped and approved for this purpose, i.e. the machine must be equipped with an overload warning system and a pipe break protection.

Read the sections "Fundamental safety instructions" and "Operation - safety instructions" with care and observe the instructions contained in them.

Switch the overload warning system on.

Room for slingers Slingers must approach the working gear from the side when the load is slung.

During the lifting and transporting of loads, slingers or other assistant personnel must stand in a safe position or go beside the machine to ensure that they are outside the hazard zone.

Ensure that slingers and other assistant personnel are always in sight.

Slinging loads Use only tested and efficient lifting gear with an adequate load capacity.

Hoist the load only from the hooks provided for that purpose.

2413547

Sling the load in such a way as to prevent it from slipping or falling while being lifted or transported.

Transporting the load Never move the load above persons. Keep the load as close as possible to the ground.

Prevent the load from swinging The machine must never be driven with a slung load unless the road surface is even and the roadway is clearly visible. Roadway visibility can be improved by adjusting the boom and slewing the superstructure to the right.

The built-in overload warning device cannot totally exclude accidents due to incorrect operation.

This applies in particular to: - inadequate hooking of the load or the load-carrying device, - excessive deceleration or acceleration forces (hard braking or strong slewing with the load to be moved), - loads dropping into the cable, - oblique pull, - driving the excavator into an area with steeply sloping ground, - exposure to strong wind.

Avoid these risks by handling the machine carefully and with discretion.

Never use the the teeth of backhoe buckets, shovels or grabs.

Cable lugs, thimbles or U-bolts may slip from the teeth, putting the load out of control.

Register the weight of the load.

Sling only those loads not exceeding the load capacity of the lifting gear and of the machine (cf. "Technical data").

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS RH 30 E LIFTING OPERATIONS

2804210

Load hook (optional equipment).

Read and observe "Lifting-gear operation - Safety instructions".

Switch on your overload warning system.

Overload warning system Hydraulic excavators used as lifting gear or for the transport of loads must be equipped with an overload warning system.

The overload warning system is basically composed of an electro-hydraulic switching unit triggering an optical and acoustic warning signal before the admissible load moment is reached (Fig. 2).

Fig. 1

Lifting capacity of the load hook

Fig. 2

The maximum lifting capacity of the hook is indicated on the load hook (Fig. 1).

Do not shut off the overload warning system when the warning signal is sounded.

Lifting capacity of the excavator The admissible lifting capacity as a function of the working range is set out in the load table, see "Technical Data".

The overload warning system must be on during lifting operations.

The overload warning system merely gives warning signals; it cannot prevent the excavator from overturning.

When the warning signal sounds: - let down the load immediately - shorten the working range or reduce the load.

In spite of the overload warning system, the operator is obliged to make sure beforehand that the load to be lifted does not exceed the excavator’s lifting capacity.

The operator exceeds the admissible load moment if too heavy a load is being lifted with a large working range of the equipment (lifting capacity, see section "Lifting capacity of the excavator").

by O&K Mining.

75

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS RH 30 E Do not perform any adjusting or repair work on the overload warning system.

Adjustments and repairs might lead to improper functioning or even to complete failure of the overload warning system.

Putting the overload warning system out of operation If the machine is used exclusively for normal excavator work, the overload warning system must be deactivated with switch (56, Fig. 6).

Pipe burst protection The pipe burst protection prevents uncontrolled lowering of the working equipment if a hydraulic line to the boom cylinder bursts.

The hydraulic port on the rod-side of the boom cylinder is blocked off so that the hydraulic oil in the cylinder can flow out only if the "boom lowering" function is activated.

When a hydraulic line has broken: • Warn persons in the vicinity of the machine by sounding the signal horn.

Stop working.

• Secure the area within reach of the working equipment and the attached load.

Persons must be prevented from entering the hazard zone under the working equipment or the suspended load.

If you have swallowed any oil, avoid vomiting but consult a doctor immediately.

Never attempt to extinguish burning liquids with water. Use: -

dry powder, carbon dioxide or

-

foam extinguishers.

Water used for extinguishing purposes would vapourize instantaneously on contact with burning substances and spread burning oil, for example, over a wide area. Water generates short circuits in the electrical system, possibly producing new hazards.

Visible loss of oil Have any visible leakage repaired immediately.

Escaping oil is an environmental hazard.

Soak up any oil that has escaped with a binding agent. Sweep up binding agent and dispose of it separately from other waste.

Notify the fire brigade.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS RH 30 E Relieving residual pressure in the hydraulic system Only unpressurized hydraulic systems may be opened. Even when a machine is parked on a horizontal surface with its attachments supported on the ground and its driving motor switched off, there may still be substantial residual pressure in parts of the hydraulic system, e.g. primary pressure from the last hydraulic movements prior to stopping the machine.

Residual pressure is reduced only gradually. If an intervention into the hydraulic system is to be undertaken immediately after stopping, the system must be depressurized: (do not leave the driver’s seat) -

Stand working equipment on the ground Shut off the engine Move all control levers and pedals repeatedly into all directions.

Screwed connections, piping, hydraulic hoses Repair any leakage in the piping and hose system immediately.

Tighten leaking screw plugs only when the system is depressurized.

Escaping oil is an environmental hazard.

Non-polluting disposal Dispose of oils, greases, cooling liquids, detergents, solvents and oil-containing components such as filters, cleaning rags, replaced wearing parts and unusable machine parts without polluting the environment and separately from other waste.

Do not dispose of these substances together with household wastes.

Fill these substances into the containers provided for such purpose.

Like any other oil, also bio-degradable, "environment-friendly" hydraulic oil must be disposed of separately.

Do not allow oils and oily wastes to penetrate into the soil. They are an environmental hazard.

Seals Individual spares may contain asbestos. Such spares or their packaging are marked with:

A fine, highly pressurized jet of hydraulic oil can penetrate the skin.

Never process spares containing asbestos mechanically. Inhaling asbestos dust is a health hazard.

Never search for leakges with the fingers, but use a piece of cardboard and always wear goggels.

Clean sealing faces prior to assembly.

If oil has penetrated into the skin, consult a doctor immediately.

Engine exhaust gases

Never repair damaged piping; always replace them.

Exhaust gases from engines are a health hazard: never inhale them.

Replace hydraulic hoses immediately on detecting any damage or moist areas.

When working on enclosed premises, draw off exhaust gases with a suction plant and ventilate the premises well.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS RH 30 E Environmentally compatible hydraulic fluid Environmentally compatible hydraulic fluid - operating instructions The hydraulic system of this machine can be filled ex works with environmentally compatible, synthetic hydraulic fluid as an option. In this case, the machine is supplied with stickers containing the corresponding instructions.

For the initial filling, O&K-Mining uses only: PANOLIN HLP SYNTH 68 O&K-Mining (P/N: 2115005).

This synthetic hydraulic fluid has been tested by O&K-Mining and approved for application in O&K-Mining machines.

A change from mineral hydraulic oil to this synthetic hydraulic fluid can, however, be made also at a later date.

Environmentally compatible hydraulic fluid, too, must not be simply poured away but disposed of in the same way as used oil.

If hydraulic fluid seeps into the ground, the machine owner and the competent authorities must be informed.

HLP SYNTH 68 is suitable only for hydraulic systems.

2804290

Environmentally compatible hydraulic fluid, conversion Read and observe: "Inspection and Servicing - Safety Instructions".

- Bring hydraulic system to operating temperature.

- Retract all hydraulic cylinders.

- Drain off hydraulic oil (see operating instructions, section 3 "Inspection and Servicing").

- Fill hydraulic oil tank with HLP SYNTH 68 up to halfway mark.

- Activate all hydraulic functions including travelling for about 30 minutes. The hydraulic system is being flushed during this time.

- Then drain off the hydraulic fluid.

The fluid can be used repeatedly for flushing.

Otherwise it must be properly disposed of. In this case, a disposal expert must be consulted as this is a mixture of synthetic hydraulic fluid and mineral hydraulic oil.

- Change all filters in the hydraulic system.

- Fill the hydraulic oil tanks with new HLP SYNTH 68.

As HLP SYNTH 68 is not soluble in water This means that condensate may be deposited in the hydraulic oil tank.

It must therefore be drained off at regular intervals and after lengthy downtimes, then disposed of in the same way as used oil.

Use only HLP SYNTH 68 for changing or topping up the hydraulic fluid.

The hydraulic fluid must not be mixed with hydraulic oils or hydraulic fluids by other manufacturers, as this affects its biodegradability.

Operating equipment and attachments driven with mineral hydraulic oil must not be mounted until thoroughly emptied, cleaned and flushed.

Analysis will show whether the hydraulic fluid can be used beyond the standard changing intervals.

See section: "Environmentally compatible hydraulic fluid, sampling".

Fig. 17

Venting the hydraulic components

Always admit oil first to that side of the cylinder where the piston (2) is. This is

- Hydraulic pumps and hydraulic motors (with the engine stationary).

•

the piston-side port (3) when the piston rod (1, Fig. 16) is retracted and

•

the rod-side port (4) when the piston rod (1, Fig. 17) is extended.

Open the highest leakage oil port and fill in clean hydraulic oil up to the lower edge of the opening.

Check the hydraulic system under load. Pay attention to noises produced by the hydraulic pump resp. the hydraulic motors. Abrupt movements of the working equipment are a sign of entrapped air existing in the system. Remaining air pockets can be eliminated by actuating all hydraulic functions.

- Hydraulic cylinder Before the initial admission of the cylinder with oil, the piston must be in either of its two end positions. This means that the piston rod (1, Figs. 16 and 17) must be completely extended or retracted.

If, for assembly reasons, the piston rod is in the center position, admit oil first to the piston-side port (4).

When oil is admitted for the first time to the cylinder, the oil flow must be reduced. Extend or retract the piston rod therefore as slowly as possible.

The screw / nozzle of the following components must be open until oil emerges bubble-free from the opening.

Always vent only that section of the system that has been opened.

Vent - the travel brake valve at the venting screw - the oil cooler manifold at the mini-measuring ports - the servo system at the venting screws of the control blocks (under the servo caps) - the intake line at the venting screw (with the drive engine stationary).

To permit lowering of the working equipment in case of emergency, the machine is equipped with a pressure accumulator (1, Fig. 19).

The pressure accumulator (1) is located under the superstructure baseplate.

Hydraulic accumulators are pressure vessels and therefore subject to the "Druckbehälterverordnung (DruckbehV.)" [Pressure Vessel Regulations].

Their installation, equipment and operation is governed by the "Technische Regeln Druckbehälter (TRB)" [Technical Rules for Pressure Vessels].

The pressure vessels of hydraulic accumulators are classified by the admissible operating pressure p in bars, the contents l in liters and the product of pressure and contents p˙l. Depending on the class to which the accumulator belongs the following inspections are mandatory:

Checking the gas charging pressure in the pressure accumulator

Fig. 19

Pressure-accumulator inspection regulations The following regulations are applicable only in the Federal Republic of Germany. Please observe the corresponding regulations in your own country.

After commissioning (new installation resp. repair), the gas charging pressure in the diaphragm accumulator must be checked at least once in the first week. If no pressure losses are detected, the second pressure test must be performed after ca.

3 months. If no pressure losses are detected in this test , the testing interval can be fixed at one pressure test every year.

For measuring the charge pressure in the diaphragm accumulator, observe the instructions set out in the booklet "Filling and testing device for diaphragm accumulators" annexed to this documentation.

Excerpt from the German regulations The accumulator vessel must not be subjected to welding, soldering or any other mechanical work.

Works on systems containing accumulators (repairs, connection of pressure gauges or similar work) may only be carried out after the fluid pressure has been released.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS RH 30 E Track tensioner

Technical data

System configuration

Track tensioning pressure ca. 100 bars Pressure limiting valve 250 bars Gas pressure in diaphragm accumulator (nitrogen filling pressure) 80 bars

The tracks are tensioned automatically when a travel movement is initiated. Inthis case, oil and a required pressure from the servo pump are diverted via a corresponding hydraulic switching device to the track-tensioning circuit. Figs. 4 and 5 show parts of the tracks and the tensioner:

Function The tensioning system is under a permanent pressure of ca. 100 bars which keeps both tracks permanently tensioned. Pressure losses are compensated as soon as the track drives are switched on. Retensioning is not required.

For cleaning and servicing work, the tracks can be slackened.

To do so: • stop the engine • open both pressure limiting valves (6, Fig. 4) to slacken the tracks.

Fig. 4

• After the work, screw down the pressure limiting valves (6) to the limit stop.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS RH 30 E Pressure-accumulator inspection regulations

Checking the gas charging pressure in the diaphragm accumulator

The following regulations are applicable only in the Federal Republic of Germany. Please observe the corresponding regulations in your own country.

After commissioning (new installation resp. repair), the gas charging pressure in the diaphragm accumulator must be checked at least once in the first week. If no pressure losses are detected, the second pressure test must be performed after ca.

3 months. If no pressure losses are detected in this test , the testing interval can be fixed at one pressure test every year.

Excerpt from the German regulations The accumulator vessel must not be subjected to welding, soldering or any other mechanical work.

Works on systems containing accumulators (repairs, connection of pressure gauges or similar work) may only be carried out after the fluid pressure has been released.

Excerpt from the acceptance regulations Hydraulic accumulators are pressure vessels and therefore subject to the "Druckbehälterverordnung (DruckbehV.)" [Pressure Vessel Regulations].

Their installation, equipment and operation is governed by the "Technische Regeln Druckbehälter (TRB)" [Technical Rules for Pressure Vessels].

The pressure vessels of hydraulic accumulators are classified by the admissible operating pressure p in bars, the contents l in liters and the product of pressure and contents p˙l. Depending on the class to which the accumulator belongs the following inspections are mandatory:

Group III p> _ l bar p˙l > _ 200 and p˙l_ < 1000

The above-mentioned pressure tests are required to ensure the functioning of the track tensioner.

They are no substitute or the inspections required by the "Pressure Vessel Regulations".

Before checking the gas charging pressure (nitrogen filling pressure) in the diaphragm accumulator, the track must first be slackened, i.e. the hydraulic part of the tensioning system must be depressurized. Cf. under "Function".

For measuring the charge pressure in the diaphragm accumulator, observe the instructions set out in the booklet "Filling and testing device for diaphragm accumulators" annexed to this documentation.

Inspect the idlers visually for leaks after each working shift. If leaks are detected, check oil level.

Checking the oil level The checking plug (arrow, Fig. 6) is located either on the inside or outside of the idler.

To check the oil level, the checking plug must be approximately 30o above the horizontal axis (2 o’clock position) (Fig. 6). Unscrew checking plug.

The oil level must reach up to the lower edge of the opening.

If the oil level is below the opening, move the excavator until the plug hole is in the horizontal plane (3 o’clock position). If no oil emerges from the opening in this position, checking of the idler seals is absolutely necessary.

It is possible to continue working with the excavator if the oil level is topped up and checked in short intervals.

Filling in oil The checking plug hole must be in the same position as for oil-level checking (2 o’clock position). Fill in oil up to the lower edge of the plug hole.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS RH 30 E Fire and Explosion Hazard

2796687

Safety Instructions Prior to commencing work, inform - on the national and corporate rules for prevention of accidents. Pay particular attention to hazards caused by combustible and easily flammable substances.

- on the safe handling of the fire extinguishers to be used.

Place suitable fire guardings (fire barriers) if open fire or flying sparks cannot be avoided during repair work.

Apply special protection to cables, cable ducts as well as to hose and pipe lines.

If necessary, also cover the ground with fire-protective blankets.

Ensure sufficient ventilation.

Avoid smoking and open fire on, next to and below the excavator.

Clean the excavator before starting a job.

Combustible and easily flammable substances or liquids increase the fire and explosion hazard.

Do not store or handle any flammable substances during operation.

Do not keep any fire extinguishers that are not suitable or have not been tested.

Clean the excavator thoroughly, if possible, with a steam jet (rubber parts and electric components with compressed air - refer to information label), when, for example, oil, grease, fuel or cleaner was spilled.

Such substances may spontaneously ignite if they get into the vicinity of hot units or objects such as turbo superchargers.

Even battery gases can ignite in open flames or fire.

Avoid parking the excavator in places where - combustible substances such as coal dust or tar are present.

- open or smouldering fire may occur.

Do not extinguish flammable liquids with water. Use: - dry-powder, - carbon-dioxide or - foam extinguishing compounds.

When getting into contact with burning substances, the fire-fighting water would abruptly evaporate and distribute the substance such as oil over a wide area. Water causes short-circuits in the electrical system thus possibly entailing new hazards.

Call the fire brigade.

Have all your welding, flame cutting and grinding work approved.

Remove the excavator from such an area where combustible or easily flammable liquids have spilled from the excavator onto the ground.

Flying sparks (caused by welding, flame cutting, grinding, electrical short-circuit) may cause fire on the ground that can spread to the excavator.

Assisted starting (with jumper cables) Safety instructions Keep any potential ignition sources such as unshielded lights or burning cigarettes away from the batteries. Battery gases are highly flammable. Explosion hazard.

Do not lean over the batteries when starting the machine from another vehicle.

Risk of injury from acid splashes and battery gases.

Never use assisted starting when the batteries are defective or frozen.

Never connect batteries (battery assemblies) unless they have the same voltage.

Use only tested jumper cables with insulated terminal clips and an adequate lead diameter.

Ensure that the bodies of the supplying and receiving machines are not in contact. Otherwise a current flow could result from connecting the positive poles. Risk of shortcircuiting.

Never use welding generators or welding transformers as a source of current.

Position the jumper cables in such a way that they cannot be caught by rotating engine components.

Read and observe: "Inspection and servicing, safety instructions", paying particular attention to the section "Handling batteries".

Assisted starting (with jumpercables) Prior to assisted starting Read and observe the section: "Assisted starting, safety instructions".

Starting the engine with jumper cables (external batteries)

168

2 804 400.00 en

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS RH 30 E Before connecting the jumper cables (external batteries) check the own batteries for proper operation. Checking is done by switching on the excavator’s electrical system in which case the engine monitoring lamps ("Alternator" and "Engine oil pressure") must light up.

Do not switch on electrical consumers (e.g. floodlamps) when checking the batteries. In case of doubt, remove the batteries and have them tested.

- Assisted starting with batteries installed - Connect first the positive terminal of the jumper cable to the batteries and then to the supplying unit. Connect the negative terminals in the same order. After starting, disconnect the jumper cable in reverse order, i.e. first the negative terminal and then the positive terminal.

- Assisted starting without batteries installed (only for engine trial run) Do not disconnect the starting aid when the engine is running.

After disconnecting, the alternator runs without batteries.

- Connect the jumper cable in the above-described order and disconnect after starting.

After disconnecting the supplying unit, the engine monitoring lamps are without current. Disconnect the jumper cables, therefore, only after the engine monitoring lamps have gone out.

• Switch off all consumers at the receiving machine and turn the key-operated switch to 0 .

• Switch off all consumers at the supplying machine (charged batteries) and shut off the engine.

Connecting the jumper cables

• Connect the red jumper cable to the positive pole of the empty battery (1, Fig. 1), then to the positive pole of the charged battery (2).

• Connect the black jumper cable first to the negative terminal of the booster battery (3) and then to a bare-metalpart of the machine (4).

Expolsion hazard When the negative terminal is connected to ground, a strong current flows through the jumper cable.

The sparks produced in the contact area can ignite the gases emanating from the discharged battery.

The negative terminal must therefore be connected to ground at a place as far away from the discharged batteries as possiblee.

Starting up the engines • Start up the engines of the supplying machine and run at high speed.

• Start up the engine of the receiving machine. If the engine fails to start up after 15 seconds, wait for one minute and then start again.

• When the engine has started up, continue running both machines in no-load operation for about two or three minutes with the jumper cables still connected.

Disconnecting the jumper cables • Negative pole at the receiving machine (4) • Negative pole at the supplying machine (3) • Positive pole at the supplying machine (2) • Positive pole at the receiving machine (1) • For machines with electronic modules: - Run engine for about half an jour at low speed. The batteries are partially charged.

- Shut off engine.

- Make all electrical connections to the modules.

- Start up engine without jumper cables.

Prior to any welding operations on the machine: - Set battery main switch to OFF Disconnect the battery, first at the negative pole and then at the positive pole.

Protect the disconnected terminals and plugs from short-circuiting and soiling by covering them with foil or adhesive tape.

Attach the welding pincers close to the welding zone (max. 2 - 3 m) The welding current must not flow via the ball rsp. the roller bearing slewing ring, via pin couplings, articulated joints or hydraulic cylinders.

An electric current flowing over an air gap (in an articulated joint, for instance) generates sparks that damage metallic furfaces.

On completion of the welding operation, restore all electrical connections.

- Set battery main switch to ON

If parts of the machine have to be dimantled, read and take note of the following sections: "Assembling attachments, safety instructions", "Inspection and servicing, safety instructions", "Repair, safety instructions".

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS RH 30 E TROUBLESHOOTING Instructions on troubleshooting Faults are often due to the machine not being correctly operated or serviced.

For this reason, it is vital to read through the relevant section of the operating manual once again before rectifying any faults.

2804216

Layout of the fault table Fault The fault is described here as the outcome of an observation or a previous activity.

Therefore make careful observations.

If you are unable to detect the cause of the fault or rectify it, apply to the O&K-Mining after-sales service.

Study the problem carefully, First think, then act.

Describe the fault and all accompanying circumstances as precisely as possible when calling on the O&K-Mining after-sales service. Exact data allow for fast troubleshooting.

- Which warning signals preceded the fault?

Never do any jobs for which you are not qualified.

- Is it one or several simultaneously occurring faults?

This fault table lists all faults which have been reported to date and outlines their possible causes and rectifying measures. In exceptional cases, a described fault may also have a different cause.

Ask yourself the following questions:

- What repair and servicing work was carried out previously?

- Has this defect already occurred?

Possible causes The possible causes of the observed fault are outlined in this group. They are arranged in order of probability, i.e. the possible cause occurring in most cases heads the list.

Measure This describes the troubleshooting procedure.

Section This specifies where information on troubleshooting is given in the operating manual. If there is no entry, the O&K-Mining after-sales service should be consulted.
