1 - GENERAL INFORMATION

Introduction The excavator is a hydraulically operated machine. It consists of an undercarriage fitted with tracks and a swing bearing which supports the upper frame. The upper frame supports the attachment, the engine, the hydraulic components, the cab, the fuel tank and the counterweight. When the operator activates the controls (pedals/levers), the hydraulic pumps, operated by the engine, pumps the oil from the tank, sending it to the control valve which sends the oil to perform the requested operation. A cooling system maintains the hydraulic oil at normal operating temperature.

NOTICE: Do not use the excavator for operations which are foreign to its specifications and not included in this manual in order to prevent serious injury to persons or damage to the machine. The manufacturer/dealer is not responsible for damage caused by improper use.

The excavator has been designed to carry out digging and earth moving operations through the use of a bucket.

Operations that involve the use of hydraulic hammers or crushers are also possible. Other operations, such as moving suspended loads, are only possible if the specific variant approved by the manufacturer is present.

Using the excavator and its equipment for different operations, such as, for example, towing, transporting and lifting people, is considered inappropriate and is prohibited.

Electro-Magnetic Compatibility (EMC) Interference may arise as a result of add‐on equipment which may not necessarily meet the required standards. As such interference can result in serious malfunction of the unit and/or create unsafe situations, you must observe the following: •

The maximum power of emission equipment (radio, telephones, etc.) must not exceed the limits imposed by the national authorities of the country where you use the machine.

•

The electro‐magnetic field generated by the add‐on system should not exceed 24 V/m at any time and at any location in the proximity of electronic components.

•

The add‐on equipment must not interfere with the functioning of the on board electronics.

Failure to comply with these rules will render the KOBELCO warranty null and void.

Biodiesel fuel - Biodiesel fuels Biodiesel usage in KOBELCO products

Biodiesel blends are covered by:

Introduction to Fatty Acid Methyl Ester (FAME) biodiesel FAME biodiesel, called biodiesel fuel in the following section, consists of a family of fuels derived from vegetable oils treated with methyl esters.

There are two main biodiesel fuel types: Rapeseed Methyl Ester (RME) and Soybean Methyl Ester (SME).

RME is a blend of rapeseed and sunflower methyl ester, and is the preferred crop in Europe. SME is the preferred crop in the United States.

Biodiesel fuel is a renewable alternative fuel source. Its use and development is promoted worldwide, especially in Europe and in the United States.

NOTICE: Your Selective Catalytic Reduction (SCR) system is compatible with up to 7 % biodiesel fuel (B7). Be aware that the use of biodiesel fuel that does not comply with the standards mentioned in this section could lead to severe damage to the engine and fuel system of your machine. The use of non-approved fuels may void KOBELCO Warranty coverage.

Biodiesel fuel can be used to run diesel engines as pure biodiesel fuel or when blended with standard diesel fuel: •

B7: indicates the blend of 7 % biodiesel and 93 % diesel fuels.

•

B20: indicates the blend of 20 % biodiesel and 80 % diesel fuels. Do not use.

•

B100: indicates pure biodiesel, or 100 % biodiesel fuel. Do not use.

Biodiesel fuel has several positive features in comparison with diesel fuel: •

Biodiesel fuel adds lubricity to the fuel, which is beneficial in many circumstances, particularly as sulfur and aromatics are removed from the fuel.

•

Biodiesel has a greater cetane number and burns cleaner.

•

Biodiesel produces less particulate matter and reduces smoke emissions.

•

Biodiesel is fully biodegradable and non-toxic.

•

European Diesel Fuel Specification EN 590 allows up to 7 % biodiesel since 2009. European fuel suppliers are allowed to use up to 7 % biodiesel fuel (B7) to supply the network.

•

United States Diesel Fuel Specification ASTM D6751-09A allows up to 7 % biodiesel since 2009.

United States fuel suppliers are allowed to use up to 7 % biodiesel fuel (B7) to supply the network.

•

United States Biodiesel Fuel Specification ASTM D7467-09A provides specifications for diesel and biodiesel blends from B6 to B20.

Before raw oil can be converted into usable biodiesel fuel, it must undergo transesterification to remove glycerides. During the transesterification process, the oil reacts with an alcohol to separate the glycerine from the fat or vegetable oil. This process leaves behind two products: methyl ester (the chemical name for biodiesel) and glycerine (a byproduct usually sold for use in soaps or other products).

NOTICE: Biodiesel fuels approved for use in the KOBELCO equipment must be transesterified and comply with the European Standard EN14214 or North America Standard ASTM D6751.

NOTICE: Cold Pressed Biodiesel, Cold Pressed Oil, Straight Vegetable Oil (SVO), or more generally unrefined vegetable oils used as motor fuel, are fuels that are normally made from Rapeseed oil or similar high oil content crops. These kinds of fuel are not transesterified, so they do not fulfil the EN14214 or the ASTM D6751 requirements. There is no recognized quality standard available for these types of fuel. Therefore the use of Cold Pressed Biodiesel, Cold Pressed Oil, Straight Vegetable Oil (SVO), or more generally unrefined vegetable oils used as motor fuel are NOT APPROVED at any blend in any KOBELCO product.

NOTICE: Any engine and fuel injection equipment fitted to a KOBELCO vehicle found to have run with any blend of NON-APPROVED fuel (fuel not fulfilling the specification described in the requirement EN14214 for Europe, or ASTM D6751 for the United States) will no longer be covered for Warranty by KOBELCO.

Biodiesel fuel usage conditions You must stringently follow the biodiesel fuel usage conditions. Incorrect application of the biodiesel fuel usage conditions could lead to severe damage to both the engine and the fuel injection equipment.

Diesel and biodiesel fuel specifications Tier 4a diesel fuel specifications are covered by the following: •

Europe: EN 590 - Specification of Diesel fuel. (10 ppm sulfur maximum.)

The main concerns related to operation with biodiesel fuels are:

•

United States: ASTM D975-10, Standard Specification for Diesel Fuel Oils. (15 ppm sulfur maximum.)

•

1-9

Filters and injector blockage caused by poor fuel quality.

1 - GENERAL INFORMATION

•

Wear and corrosion of internal components due to water content, which affects lubricity.

•

Deterioration of some rubber sealing compounds in the fuel system.

•

Biodiesel oxidation, which can lead to the formation of deposits that can harm the fuel injection system.

NOTICE: Any problem in the engine fuel injection equipment associated with non-compliance to the following conditions for biodiesel fuel handling and maintenance will not be covered for Warranty by KOBELCO. Purchase biodiesel fuel from a trusted supplier who understands the product and maintains acceptable fuel quality.

Biodiesel fuel must be pre-blended by the supplier. Mixing biodiesel fuels on-site can result in an incorrect mixture that could damage the engine and/or fuel system.

NOTICE: KOBELCO may void your warranty if the problem is associated with poor fuel quality due to improper blending. It is the responsibility of the fuel supplier and/or yourself to ensure the right type of fuel and blend is delivered and used.

Maintenance intervals For machine using the FPT NEF and Cursor 9 Common Rail Engines, no change to maintenance intervals is required when using biodiesel blends up to B7.

Selective Catalytic Reduction (SCR) exhaust treatment - Product overview What is Selective Catalytic Reduction (SCR)?

Your KOBELCO machine is equipped with additional components to comply with national and local exhaust emissions requirements. The main components of the SCR system include the SCR catalyst, the Diesel Exhaust Fluid (DEF)/ AdBlue® injection unit, the DEF/AdBlue® tank, and the DEF/AdBlue® dosing control unit.

How does Selective Catalytic Reduction (SCR) work?

During combustion, harmful Nitrogen Oxide (NOx ) molecules are formed in the exhaust. By injecting a DEF/AdBlue® solution into the exhaust prior to a catalyst, the NOx can be converted to harmless elemental Nitrogen and water. This happens when the NOx molecules react inside the catalyst with the heat generated by the engine and the ammonia in the DEF/AdBlue® solution.

During cold engine operation at low engine coolant and ambient air temperatures, water vapor will be visible from the exhaust when the engine operates. This water vapor will resemble steam or light white smoke and will dissipate as the engine and machine components warm and is considered normal.

NOTE: After engine shutdown, the SCR system will perform a purge cycle, which permits the supply module to continue to run for up to 70 seconds. This is to be considered normal and requires no action from the operator.

What is Diesel Exhaust Fluid (DEF)/AdBlue®?

DEF/AdBlue® is a clear, colorless, non-toxic, aqueous urea solution ( 32.5 %) with a slight ammonia odor used to chemically reduce NOx emissions from heavy-duty diesel powered vehicles. DEF/AdBlue® is neither explosive nor harmful to the environment and is classified under the minimum-risk category of transportable fluids.

DEF/AdBlue® quality is defined by ISO 22241-1. The American Petroleum Institute (API®) has a voluntary certification program for DEF/AdBlue®. To ensure DEF/ AdBlue® satisfies the requirements of ISO 22241, look for the API® DEF Certification Mark™ whenever you purchase DEF/AdBlue®. API Diesel Exhaust Fluid Certification Mark is a registered trademark of API in the United States and or other countries.

Kobelco Construction Customer Service: 1-888-562-5201 customerservicekobelco.na@newholland.com

Storage, handling, and transport NOTICE: Storage temperatures above 30 °C (86 °F) greatly reduce the shelf life of DEF/AdBlue®.

DEF/AdBlue® has a typical shelf life of 6-12 months. Refer to the SHELF LIFE table below. In order for DEF/AdBlue® to remain in a useable condition, storage requirements need to be met.

•

Store between -11 °C (12 °F) and 30 °C (86 °F).

1 - 11

1 - GENERAL INFORMATION

•

Use only an approved DEF/AdBlue® container. Contact your dealer to obtain proper storage container(s).

•

Keep container tightly closed.

•

Keep container in a cool, well-ventilated area.

•

Keep away from heat and direct sunlight.

Thawing •

Your KOBELCO machine is equipped with an internal tank heater to thaw frozen DEF/AdBlue®. Your machine will still function until the DEF/AdBlue® begins to flow. The SCR system will then function normally.

NOTE: You may notice a slight reduction in engine torque in high demand situations until the DEF/AdBlue® is fully thawed.

•

Do not heat DEF/AdBlue® for long periods of time at temperatures above 30 °C (86 °F). This causes the solution to decompose, which very slowly decreases the expected shelf life.

NOTICE: Do not use an anti-gelling or freeze point improver in your DEF/AdBlue®. The 32.5 % solution is specifically designed to provide the optimum NOx reduction properties. Any further blending or adjusting of the DEF/AdBlue® mixture will lessen its ability to perform correctly and may cause damage to the SCR components.

Handling and supply of additives, if any.

•

Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) is not required under normal conditions. If splashing is likely, wear eye protection. For prolonged or repeated contact, impervious gloves are recommended. Follow the precautions listed in the SAFETY INFORMATION chapter when handling any service fluid.

•

No additives are required.

NOTICE: Contaminated DEF/AdBlue® can affect the performance of your machine. Follow all instructions in this manual when handling DEF/AdBlue®.

Shelf life Constant ambient storage temperature Minimum shelf life 36 months Less than or equal to 10 °C (50 °F) 18 months Less than or equal to 25 °C (77 °F) ¹ 12 months Less than or equal to 30 °C (86 °F) 6 months Less than or equal to 35 °C (95 °F) Greater than 35 °C (95 °F) -² ¹ To prevent decomposition of DEF/AdBlue®, prolonged transportation or storage above 25 °C (77 °F) should be avoided. ² Significant loss of shelf life: check every batch before use. See your KOBELCO dealer for more information on testing.

NOTE: The main factors taken into account to define the shelf life in the table above are the ambient storage temperature and the initial alkalinity of DEF/AdBlue®. The difference in evaporation between vented and non-vented storage containers is an additional factor.

NOTE: The information in this table is for reference only and has been provided by the International Organization for Standardization, Document number ISO 22241-3 Diesel engines - NOx reduction agent AUS 32 - Part 3: Handling, transportation and storage.

NOTE: DEF/AdBlue® that remains in the tank of the machine after the season does not require any special precautions unless storage exceeds the shelf life table above.

Disposal •

Dispose of DEF/AdBlue® and any filter accumulations in accordance with all applicable Federal, State, and local laws governing waste disposal.

U.S. EPA and California Emissions Control Warranty Statement KOBELCO warrants to the ultimate purchaser and each subsequent purchaser that the engine is designed, built and equipped so as to conform with U.S. Environmental Protection Agency regulations applicable at the time of manufacture and that it is free from defects in workmanship or material which would cause it not to meet these regulations for a period of: 1 - 12

Operating safety •

Do not run the engine in closed buildings without proper ventilation capable to remove harmful exhaust gases which concentrate in the air.

•

Keep the operator’s compartment free of foreign objects, especially if not firmly secured. Never use the machine to transport objects, unless proper securing points are provided.

port this problem to the maintenance managers for proper action. Do not operate the machine until this condition is corrected. Regularly check all exhaust system components, as exhaust fumes are toxic for the operator.

•

Operators must know the performance of the machine they are driving. When working on slopes or near sudden level drops in the terrain, pay attention not to lose adherence and avoid loose soft ground since overturn or loss of machine control could result.

•

Do not carry riders on the machine. Study and familiarize with escape routes alternative to normal exit routes. For your personal safety, do not climb on or off the machine while it is in motion.

•

Make sure that bystanders are clear of the machine operating range before starting the engine and operating the attachment. Sound the horn.

•

If noise level is high and exceeds 90 dB over 8 hours at the operator’s ear, wear approved ear protection in compliance with local regulations.

•

Obey all hand signals, safety indications and signs.

•

•

When backing, always look to where the machine is to be moved.

Do not operate the machine if you are extremely tired or feel ill. Be especially careful towards the end of the working shift.

Be alert of the position of bystanders. Should someone enter the work area, stop the machine. Maintain a safe distance from other machines or obstacles to ensure required visibility conditions.

•

•

Where removable counterweights are provided, do not operate the machine if they have been removed.

•

When operating the machine, keep in mind height limits of overhead doors, arches, overhead cables and lines as well as width limits of corridors, roads and narrow passages.

•

Also, get to know load limits of the ground and paving type of the ramps you are to work on.

•

Beware of fog, smoke or dust that obscure visibility.

•

Always inspect the working area to identify potential risks such as: inclines, overhangs, trees, demolition rubble, fires, ravines, steep slopes, rough terrain, ditches, crowns, ridge trenches, diggings in traffic areas, crowded parking lots, crowded service areas, fenced zones. In such conditions, proceed with extreme care.

•

Whenever possible, avoid crossing over obstacles such as very rough terrain, rocks, logs, steps, ditches, railroad tracks.

•

Always give way to loaded machines.

•

Maintain a clear vision of the surroundings of the travel or work area at all times. Keep cab windows clean and repaired.

•

When pulling loads or towing through a cable or chain, do not start suddenly at full throttle. Take-up slack carefully. Avoid kinking or twisting chains or cables. Carefully inspect the towing items for flaws or problems before proceeding. Do not pull through a kinked chain or cable as the high anomalous stresses existing in this condition may induce failures in the kinked portion.

•

Always wear heavy gloves when handling chains or cables.

•

Chains and cables should be securely anchored using suitable hooks. Anchor points should be strong enough to withstand the expected load.

•

When obstructions must be crossed, do so with extreme care and at a square angle, if possible. Slow down.

•

Keep anyone clear of anchor points and cables or chains.

•

•

Do not pull or tow unless the operator’s compartments of the machines involved are properly protected against possible backlash in case of cable or chain failure or detachment.

Ease up to the break-over point, pass the balance point slowly and ease down the other side also using the attachment, if necessary.

•

To overcome deep trenches or sinking ground, place the machine perpendicular to the obstacle, drastically reduce ground speed and start crossing using also the attachment if necessary, only after assessing that ground conditions allow the traverse safely and without risks.

•

The gradient you may attempt to overcome is limited by factors such as ground conditions, load being handled, machine type and speed, and visibility.

There is no substitute for good judgement and experience when working on slopes.

•

Be alert of soft ground conditions close to newly constructed walls. The fill material and machine weight may cause the wall to collapse under the machine.

•

In darkness, check area of operation carefully before moving in with the machine. Use all lights provided. Do not move into low visibility areas.

•

If the engine tends to slow down and stall for whatever reason under load or at idle, immediately re2-4

2 - SAFETY INFORMATION

•

Avoid operating the attachment too close to an overhang or high wall, either above or below the machine. Beware of caving edges, falling objects and landslides. Remember that such hazards are likely to be concealed by bushes, undergrowth and such.

•

Avoid bushes, logs and rocks. Never drive over them, nor over any other surface irregularities that discontinue adherence or traction with the ground, especially near slopes or drop-offs.

•

Be alert to avoid changes in adherence conditions that could cause loss of control. Work with extreme care on ice or frozen ground and on stepped slopes or near drop-offs.

•

The word “bulldozing” generally refers to work in virgin rough terrain, characterized by the presence of all the perils and risks listed above. We emphasize the danger represented in these conditions by large tree limbs (possibly falling on the machine) and large roots (which may act as a leverage under the machine when uprooted and cause the unit to overturn).

•

The excavator is no lifting and transportation means, therefore it should not be used to position loads accurately. Should it be exceptionally used to lift and lay building components, special caution must be taken as follows: •

The machine must be equipped compulsorily with the appropriate variant provided upon request.

•

Secure the loads to be raised using cables or chains fastened with appropriate hooking mechanisms.

•

Nobody should be allowed to remain under the raised load or within the excavator operating range for any reason whatever.

•

Never exceed specified loading capacity. Incorrect fastening of slings or chains may cause boom/arm failure or failure of the lifting means with consequent bodily injuries and even death.

•

Always ensure that slings and chains used for lifting are adequate to the load and in good condition.

•

Position the machine dependent upon the loading and unloading areas in order to swing leftward to load to obtain best visibility.

•

All loading capacities are referred to the machine on a level surface and should be disregarded when working on a slope.

•

Never use the bucket or attachment as a man lift or carry riders. Never use the machine as a work platform or scaffolding. The machine must not be improperly used for works not consistent with its features (such as pushing railway cars, trucks or other machines).

•

Avoid travelling across slopes. Proceed from uphill downhill and vice-versa. If machine starts slipping sideways when on a slope, lower the bucket and thrust bucket teeth into the ground.

•

Working on slopes is dangerous. Grade the working area if possible. Reduce work cycle time if it is not possible to grade the working area.

•

Always pay attention to people within the machine operating range.

•

•

Never move or stop the bucket, other loads or the attachment above ground personnel or truck cabs.

Do not move full bucket or a load from uphill downhill as this would reduce machine stability.

•

Do not work with the bucket turned to the uphill side.

•

Ensure the truck driver is in a safe place before loading the truck. Load trucks from side or rear.

•

•

Use only the type of bucket recommended considering machine type, materials to be handled, material piling up and loading characteristics, ground type and other typical conditions of the work to be performed.

Do not work with the bucket turned uphill as counterweights protruding downhill would reduce machine stability on the slope and increase risk of overturning.

•

When transporting a loaded bucket, keep it as rolled-back as possible. Keep boom and arm as low as possible.

We recommend to work on slopes with the bucket downhill, after checking machine stability with the bucket empty and attachment retracted, by slowly swinging the upper structure by 360°.

•

Position the carriage at a right angle relative to slopes, hanging walls, etc. to exit the working area easily.

•

Keep the machine sufficiently far from the ditch edge. Never dig under the machine.

•

Should it be necessary to dig under the machine, always ensure that digging walls are opportunely propped up against landslide to prevent the machine from falling into the trench.

•

Do not swing the upper structure, raise the load or brake abruptly if not required. This may cause accidents.

•

•

Ground speed should be adequate to the load and ground conditions.

•

The load must always be properly arranged in the bucket; move with extreme care when transporting oversize loads.

•

•

Do not lift and move the bucket overhead where persons are standing or working, nor downhill when working on a slope as this would decrease machine stability. Load the bucket from the uphill side.

Loads to be raised using the machine should be exclusively hooked to the hitch specially provided.

Selective catalytic reduction (SCR) system Requirements The operator must maintain appropriate DEF/AdBlue® levels at all times. No additional maintenance is required.

NOTE: See your authorized dealer for replacement components and cleaning agents.

See 7-37 section for lubrication oil quality, maximum lubrication oil consumption ratings, and fuel requirements. Your SCR system is compatible with up to 7% bio-diesel fuel.

Diesel Exhaust Fluid (DEF)/AdBlue® refilling The DEF/AdBlue® tank is located on the left-hand side of the machine, next to the diesel filling port.

The DEF/AdBlue® tank cap (1) can be identified by the “blue” color of the cap. A fitting under the cap prevents the insertion of a diesel fill nozzle.

NOTICE: If any DEF/AdBlue® spills or contacts any surface other than the storage tanks, immediately clean the affected surface with clear water. DEF/AdBlue® will cause corrosion on painted and unpainted metallic surfaces, and may distort some plastic and rubber components.

It is recommended that DEF/AdBlue® filling equipment should be used having a fill nozzle/pump with the correct length and diameter, triggered by the magnet in the tank filler neck and with overfill flow cut out. This will ensure that: •

The screen in the filler neck will not be damaged.

•

Impurities are not entering the DEF/AdBlue® tank.

The standardized DEF/AdBlue® nozzle matches the filler neck diameter.

•

The DEF/AdBlue® tank is not overfilled, as the DEF/ AdBlue® pump will stop when the DEF/AdBlue® tank is full.

•

DEF/AdBlue® is not pumped in the fuel tank, as the DEF/AdBlue® nozzle cannot pump when the magnet is not sensed.

NHC0253

1

NOTICE: If a warning light has been triggered for low or empty DEF/AdBlue®, the system must be reset by cycling the key switch OFF then ON after refilling the DEF/AdBlue® tank.

NOTICE: Refilling with a funnel is not recommended as this may lead to damage of the screen in the filler neck.

NOTE: The information above has been provided by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO), Document number ISO 22241-4 Diesel engines - NOx reduction agent AUS 32 - Part 4: Refilling interface.

Diesel Exhaust Fluid (DEF)/AdBlue® consumption NOTE: DEF/AdBlue® consumption is highly dependent on engine loads, humidity levels, DEF/AdBlue® fluid concentration, and engine speed. The “typical” consumption is only a guideline to verify proper function of the SCR system.

CNH recommends to fill the DEF/AdBlue® tanks at every fuel refilling interval.
