(e.g. the clamshell). In this case the craning hook cannot be used to lift loads. The pin is not designed for such situations, there- fore it could bend or break abruptly.
Page 328: Overload Warning System
Copyright © ATTACHMENTS OVERLOAD WARNING SYSTEM WARNING The overload warning system sends exclusively acoustic and visual indication but thanks to them the machine overturning is avoided. When the warning system sounds: - lower the load immediately, - reduce the working radius or the load. Hydraulic excavators used for lifting operations or for transporting loads must be equipped with an overload warning system and pipe break protections...
Page 329 If a fault occurs in the overload warning system, lamps (2) and (3) on button (1) are both flashing. In this case, too, the red warning lamp lights up and the “Overload” message is displayed on the screen. IMPORTANT: have the overload warning system repaired immediately by our Service Department.
Page 330: Break Protection Valves
Copyright © ATTACHMENTS BREAK PROTECTION VALVES The break protection valves prevent the working attachment from lowering in case of a hydraulic hose breaking on the head side of the boom cylin- ders. The hydraulic connection of boom cylinder head is cut out, so that hydraulic oil can flow back from this point only if the “boom lowering”...
Page 331: Rear Floodlamps
Copyright © SECTION 7 REAR FLOODLAMPS The rear working floodlamps (1) are positioned on the rear side of cab, under the roof. SWITCHING THE FLOODLAMPS ON AND OFF The rear floodlamps can only be switched on, if the ignition key is set to position “I” (ignition ON). Switch on the working floodlamps by depressing face without symbol of button (2), the lamp inside the button lights up.
Page 332: Rotary Light
Copyright © ATTACHMENTS ROTARY LIGHT SINGLE LIGHT Rotary lights are fitted on a mounting stud and secured with a retaining screw. The electrical con- nection is incorporated in the stud. In this way a connecting cable is not required. DOUBLE LIGHT In some countries, two rotary lights are mandatory.

Page 334 Copyright © ATTACHMENTS Open the tank cover. Protect the tank filler from penetration of dirt. Disassemble cover (1) of maintenance opening, placed under the refuelling system. Connect intake hose (2) to large spare container. Turn the ignition key to position “I”. Activate the pump with green button (3) on the same pump.
Page 335: Cab Protections
Copyright © SECTION 7 CAB PROTECTIONS When you work in areas where there is the danger of rocks or debris falling the use of following cab protections is unavoidable. - (1) FOPS (Falling Object Protective Structure), tubular structure to install over the cab roof. - (2) FGPS (Front Guard Protective System), tubu- lar structure to install on the front side of the cab.
Page 336: Centralized Lubrication
Copyright © ATTACHMENTS CENTRALIZED LUBRICATION SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS Place the machine in a safe condition. The centralized lubrication system, connected to the pump tank is secured through the pressure limiting valve (1). The whole system can be checked visu- ally on the pressure limiting valve. If during the flow rate the pressure limiting valve is releasing fuel, the system is somewhere clogged.
Page 337 Copyright © SECTION 7 LUBRICANTS The tank pump can operate with standard grease types available on the market up to class NLGI 2. Class NLGI indicates exclusively the static density of grease, but not the dynamic behaviour of grease while pumped. The characteristics of fluidity of grease of same class NLGI may differ remarkably between them.
Page 338 TIMES SETTING To check the down-time and the working time, remove cover (1) from the case of the tank pump. The down-time can be set by means of blue selector (3), while the working time can be set by means of red selector (2).
Page 339: Manual Filling Pump
Copyright © SECTION 7 FILLING OF THE TANK PUMP The filling of the tank pump is performed through fit- tings (1) or (2). MANUAL FILLING PUMP ASSEMBLY Remove both cartridge caps (1). Prior to the assembly of the manual filling pump, pay attention to insert also the gasket (2).
Page 340: Motorized Filling Pump
Copyright © ATTACHMENTS MOTORIZED FILLING PUMP Fill grease into the tank pump through the fitting (1) or (2) and by means of the filling hose. Repeat this operation until grease reaches the maximum level. If an overfilling takes place, grease comes out from the overflow opening.
