Page 187: Precautions For Crusher Operation
OPERATING THE MACHINE PRECAUTIONS FOR CRUSHER OPERATION Prevent machine tipping over and damage to the front attachment. Observe the following precautions for crusher operation. WARNING: Machine stability is reduced as crusher is much heavier than bucket. When operating with a crusher, the machine is more apt to tip over.
Page 188 OPERATING THE MACHINE • When operating the crusher up high with the boom fully raised, be careful of falling objects. WRONG M107-05-048 • When operating the crusher on a floor in a building, first WRONG confirm that the floor has sufficient strength to support the load caused by crushing, in addition to the machine weight.
Page 189: Attachment
OPERATING THE MACHINE ATTACHMENT Allowable Weight Limits of Installed Attachment • When an attachment other than the standard bucket is installed on the machine, the machine stability will be different. If a heavy attachment is used, not only will controllability be affected but also machine stability will be reduced, possibly causing safety hazard.
Page 190 OPERATING THE MACHINE Attachments Example commercial attachment models (breakers) for excavators are shown in the following table. When the machine is operated with an attachment other than bucket, generally heavier loads are applied to the base machine comparing with bucket only operation. Therefore, unless the machine is properly operated, damage not only the attachment but to the base machine may result.

TRANSPORTING TRANSPORTING BY ROAD When transporting the machine on public roads, be sure to first understand and follow all local regulations. • When transporting using a trailer, check the width, height, length and weight of the trailer with the machine loaded.
Page 235 TRANSPORTING Loading/Unloading WARNING: • Always turn the auto-idle switch OFF and power mode switch (E) or (P) when loading or unloading the machine, to avoid unexpected speed increase due to unintentional operation of a control lever. • Always select the slow speed mode with the travel mode switch.
Page 236 TRANSPORTING 4. Stop the engine. Remove the key from the key switch. 5. Move the control levers several times until hydraulic pressure in the cylinders is released. 6. Pull the pilot control shut-off lever to the LOCK position. 7. Close cab windows, roof vent and door, and cover the exhaust opening, to prevent entry of wind and water.
Page 237 TRANSPORTING Unloading WARNING: The rear end of the flatbed where it meets the ramp is a sudden bump. Take care when traveling over it. IMPORTANT: Prevent possible damage to the front attachment. Always position the arm at 90° to the boom when unloading the machine. Unloading the machine with the arm tucked in may cause machine damage.

Page 241: Extending The Side Frame
TRANSPORTING EXTENDING THE SIDE FRAME Required Tools • Slinging Rope (20 mm dia.×8 m, 6×37 Ordinary Z lay Class A, Applicable Max. Load: 3 tons) ........6 Used * Before slinging, make sure no broken wire strands and/or kinks exist. • Lever Block (JIS B8819 equivalent to L3.2T) ....2 Used * Check that there is no damage on the lever block.
Page 242 TRANSPORTING 4. Wind two wire ropes (4) around the front and rear sections (one wire rope on each section) of side frame (3). Connect lever blocks (5) to the ends of each wire rope. Attach soft protectors (6) between side frame (3) corners and wire ropes (4) to prevent damage to side frame (3) and wire ropes (4).
Page 243 TRANSPORTING WARNING: Be sure to slowly operate the boom. If quickly operated, lever blocks (5) and/or wire rope may be damaged and/or fly away, possibly causing severe personal injury. Stay away from the machine when operating the boom. 10. Slightly slacken wire rope tension by operating lever blocks (5) and raise the boom to slightly lower track frame (2).

Page 373 MAINTENANCE Remove the Travel Levers --- as required The travel levers may be removed if desired. 1. Park the machine on a level surface. 2. Lower the bucket to the ground. 3. Turn the auto-idle switch off. 4. Turn the key switch OFF. Remove the key. 5.
Page 374: Check Windshield Washer Fluid Level
MAINTENANCE Check Windshield Washer Fluid Level --- as required Windshield washer fluid tank (1) is located in the cover after the cab. Check windshield washer fluid tank (1) at daily. If the windshield washer fluid is needed, remove rubber cap (3)/cap (2) and add the windshield washer fluid.
Page 375: Check Track Sag
MAINTENANCE Check Track Sag --- every 50 hours Swing the upperstructure 90° and lower the bucket to raise the track off the ground as shown. Keep the angle between the boom and arm 90 to 110° and position the bucket’s round side on the ground. Place blocks under the machine frame to support the machine.
Page 376 MAINTENANCE Loosen the Track WARNING: Do not loosen valve (1) quickly or loosen it too much as high-pressure grease in the adjusting cylinder may spout out. Loosen carefully, keeping body parts and face away from valve (1). Never loosen grease fitting (2). IMPORTANT: When gravel or mud is packed between sprockets and track links, remove it before loosening.
Page 377: Clean Cab Floor
MAINTENANCE Clean Cab Floor --- as required IMPORTANT: When cleaning the cab floor with tap water, spray the floor only. Take care not to splash the surrounding area. Do not increase water spray speed by restricting the hose end, and do not use high pressure steam for cleaning.
