Be careful in this situation.

Permissible depth if working in water is


the center of the upper rollers. Never
submerge the upper rollers in water.
When finishing the work in water,
make sure all the grease is
replenished in the areas affected by
the water, e.g. bucket pin etc., remove
the old grease completely regardless
of maintenance period. Also check the
oil in the travel motor, and if
necessary, replace it.

12.21
12.11 CAUTIONS WHEN TRAVELING ON A SLOPE

WARNING
• While traveling on a slope, keep the angle between boom and arm at 90
~110° and raise the bucket 20 ~ 30 cm from the ground.
• Never descend moving backward on a slope
• Never change direction or travel across on a slope. Change direction on
level ground, if necessary first come down to level ground and make a
detour.
• If the machine slides, immediately lower the bucket to the ground.
• Never perform swing work or operation of attachments. The machine can
turn over due to unbalance. Especially, do not swing with a loaded bucket.
In unavoidable case, pile up earth on the slope, and make the machine
level and stable.
• Never travel on a slope of 30° or more.

1) In case of descending on a slope of 15° or more, position the machine as

17. CAUTIONS IN MAINTENANCE

Only apply the inspection and maintenance specified in the manual.


Park the machine on level and firm ground, then perform inspection and
maintenance.

• Check hour meter


Check the hour meter every day to check whether any periodic maintenance
is needed.

• HİDROMEK genuine spare parts


When replacing the parts, use only genuine spare parts.

• Window washer fluid


Use the washer fluid for cars.

• Oil and grease


Use clean oil and grease and check if the container is broken. Take care to
keep lubricants contaminant free.

• Keep the machine clean


Keep the machine clean to find defects easily. Especially, keep clean grease
fittings, breather, and oil level gauge (oil sight gauge) to prevent
contamination.

• Caution on oil and water temperature


Immediately after operating, draining oil or water and replacing filter are very
dangerous. Wait until the temperature is considerably reduced.
In case the oil is cold, warm the oil (about 20 – 40 °C), and then drain it.

• Check filter
When replacing oil and filter, check the drained oil and used filter for metal
contamination or other foreign matter.

• Caution when adding oil


If oil filler port has a strainer, add oil without removing it.

• Keep contamination free


Inspect and replace oil in a place as clean as possible to protect from
contamination.

• Attach warning tag


In case of draining oil or water, attach warning tag at the control lever or
start switch to prevent operation by other personnel.

• Observe the caution


Observe the caution depicted on the plate attached to the machine and
caution in this manual thoroughly and work safely.

17.1
• Caution when welding
9 Cut off the main power (Turn the start switch to STOP position and
also turn the battery master switch to CUT OFF position.)
ƒ Never use 200v or more continuously.
9 Set the ground clamp within 1 m of the welding point.
9 Be careful that seals or bearings are not in the electrical path
between the welding point and the ground clamp.
9 Avoid setting the ground clamp at fastening pin of attachment or
hydraulic cylinder.

• Caution on fire
Use non-flammable solution or light oil to clean the parts. When using light
oil, do not expose to open flame.

• Cleaning machined surfaces


When dismantling parts installed with O-Ring, gasket and seal, clean the
surface and replace them with new ones.
Ensure the O-Ring, seal or gasket, etc. are properly installed.

• Checking the track


When working on rocky ground, slacken the tension of the tracks and be
careful of breakage of the track shoes and links, looseness of bolts and
nuts, cracks, wear and damage.

• Caution when washing the machine


9 Never spray water or steam to the electronic parts or connectors
directly.
9 Never spray water to the controllers and instrument panel in the
operator’s cab.
9 Never spray high-pressure water to the radiator and oil cooler.

• Check before and after working


When working on swampy ground, ashore, under water and snow, check
the tightening condition of each plug. When finishing working, wash the
machine to check for cracks, damage and looseness of bolts and nuts.
Grease each part sufficiently after finishing work. In case of working under
water frequently replace track motor oil often regardless of working time,
because the oil may be diluted as water is introduced.

17.2
• Caution for dusty conditions
When working in a dust place, check the following.

9 Check often the air cleaner restriction pilot lamp. Clean the air cleaner
element often even before the pilot lamp lights.
9 Clean the radiator and oil cooler core (fin) often to prevent it from
being clogged
9 Replace the engine oil filter often.
9 Clean the electronic parts, especially start motor, alternator, to protect
from dust.

• Never mix hydraulic oils


Never mix different types of hydraulic oils.
If you want to change to a different type, remove the oil from the hydraulic
tank and residual oil in the circuits completely.

17.3
18. GENERAL MAINTENANCE

• Use the HİDROMEK genuine spare parts.


• Never use different type oil when changing or refilling oil.
• When the machine is delivered from the plant, refer chapter 20 “Fuel And
Lubrication Usage According To Temperature” for each oil type

18.1 OIL, FUEL AND COOLANT

18.1.1 Oil

• Oil used in the engine or hydraulic system, will deteriorate under normal
circumstances (high temperature, high pressure) as time passes. Be sure to
use the specified oil according to the work condition described in this
manual. Always replace the oil according to schedule even before it is
deteriorated.
• Equipment is affected greatly by the oils. Make sure not to allow
contaminants into the oil when handling.
• Machine breakdowns are almost always caused by contamination.
Especially, when storing or filling the oil, ensure the containers, funnels etc
are clean.
• The oil should not be mix with other brands of oil.
• Refill the oil to the specified level. Excessive or insufficient oil may cause
breakdown.
• If the hydraulic oil becomes misty, air has been mixed in the circuit. Contact
our service center to maintain it.
• When replacing the oils, make sure to replace the related filters.
• Check the condition of the machine and analyze the oils periodically. At this
time, contact our service center
• When the machine is delivered from our plant, hydraulic oil type is ISO
VG46.

18.1.2 Fuel

• The fuel pump is a close tolerance precision component. If the fuel is


contaminated with water or dust, it will cause component failure.
• When storing or adding oil, pay attention to contamination.
• Make sure to use the oil specified in this manual. In case of low
temperatures and the fuel gels or solidifies, use fuel in accordance with the
ambient temperature.
• After finishing work, refill the fuel tank fully to prevent water mixing as the air
is condensed in the fuel tank.
• Before starting the engine or 10 minutes after refilling the fuel, drain the
sediment and water from the fuel tank.

18.1
18.1.3 Coolant

• Stream water contains calcium and many impurities. If it is used for the
machine, corrosion forms in the engine or radiator to cause poor thermal
conductivity and overheating. Use clean soft water like a tap water.
• In case of using antifreeze solution, observe the cautions as specified in this
manual and on the container.
• When the machine is delivered from our plant, the ratio of our genuine
antifreeze solution to the water is 50: 50. Also this antifreeze solution
minimizes corrosion rust, scale, sludge formation in the cooling system, and
can be used for 2 years or 4000 hours continuously.
• The mixing ratio of antifreeze solution depends on outside temperature.
The mixing ratio X Refer to “23.7.8 Cleaning the cooling system and
replacing the coolant”
• In case the engine is overheated, never stop the engine immediately. Cool it
down at low idle and stop, then refill the coolant.
• Use an antifreeze solution through the four seasons to lower the freeze point
and raise the boiling point which will minimize failures such as overheating,
liner pitting, water pump leakage and plugged radiators.

18.1.4 Grease

• Grease is good to prevent the swing parts and the contact parts from wear
and noise.
• The nipple not stated in the periodical maintenance section is not needed to
refill the grease, because the nipple is for overhaul. After using the machine
for a long time, if the machine does not work smoothly, refill the grease.
• After filling the grease, clean the outcoming grease completely. Especially,
be careful to clean the wearable swing parts by attached sand and dust.

18.1.5 Storing Oil and Fuel

• Always comply with regulations governing safe handling and storage of fuel
and oil.
• If stored outdoors protect the drums and other containers from the elements
i.e. direct sun, rain, snow, sand etc., by storing them under an open sided
shelter.
• If kept outdoors with no protection, position (tilt) the drums so that water and
debris can not accumulate on the top, or cover with a waterproof tarp.
• Also turn the drum to put the plugs on a horizontal plane to prevent moisture
and impurities being drawn in as the drum expands and contracts.
• Avoid deterioration of product quality due to long-term storage: use on a
first-in/first-out basis.

18.2
18.1.6 Filter

• Filter is a very important part to protect against impurities in the oil, fuel and
air circuits. Replace it periodically according to this manual. It is reasonable
to shorten the replacement interval according to working conditions
encountered on the job site.
• Never reuse the filter (cartridge type),
• When replacing the oil filter, check whether the consumed filter has metal
particles on it. If any are found, contact our service center.
• Use the specified filter from HİDROMEK.

18.2 ELECTRONIC PARTS

• If the electronic parts are by water or the insulation is damaged, this may
cause electric leakage and lead to machine malfunction. This is very
dangerous.
• Check the fan belt tension, belt damage and the electrolyte level.
• Never separate or dismantle the electronic parts from the machine.
• Never equip the machine with other electronic parts with exception as
specified and approved by HİDROMEK.
• Be careful not to wet the electronic parts when washing the machine, and
close the cab windows on rainy days to protect electronic components.
• The controller of control system may malfunction due to electronic
interference. If you operate a portable phone, consult with our service
center.
• When working ashore, keep the electronic parts dry to protect from
corrosion.
• When installing electronic equipment like an air conditioner/heater, connect
them to their own power connector.
• Never connect the optional component power supply circuit directly to start
switch, battery relay, etc.

18.3
18.3 HYDRAULIC UNITS

• The hydraulic units are hot during working or after working. Also these parts
are under high pressure during working, so maintain and check the hydraulic
units taking care of the following.
- Lower the bucket on level ground, and release all pressure in the
attachment circuits.
- Stop the engine.
- Allow the oil to cool.
• There is always internal pressure in the hydraulic circuit. Never supply oil or
drain oil, nor maintain or check the machine before eliminating the internal
pressure. Also, when you loosen the plug and hose connectors, loosen them
slowly stepping aside.
- Eliminating the internal pressure in the main circuit.
After stopping the engine, turn the start switch to ON position, then move
the right and left control levers forward I backward, left I right, respectively
several times to eliminate the internal pressure in the main circuit.
- Releasing the pressure in tank and return circuit.
With L-wrench, loosen tank air breather and release the internal pressure. At
this time, open the air breather cap slowly since fast opening may cause pop up
of cap due to the high internal pressure

• Check the hydraulic oil level, and replace the filter and hydraulic oil.
• When removing the high-pressure hoses, check whether the 0-ring is
damaged. If any damage, replace it with a new one.
• After replacing /cleaning the hydraulic oil filter element and strainer, oil
repairing / replacing the hydraulic units, or dismantling the hydraulic oil pipes
bleed the air from the hydraulic oil circuit.
• The accumulator contains nitrogen gas under high pressure, handle with
care to avoid an accident.
Handling of the accumulator X Refer to “11.17 Handling of Accumulator.”

18.4
18.4 BUCKET PLAY ADJUSTMENT

The excavator has been provided with


a bucket adjustment (an adjustment
which allows the removal of shims to
eliminate play caused by wear in the
connection between the bucket and
arm).

This adjustment provides the additional


effect of retarding to progress of wear
and helps increasing the life of the
bushings and pin.

Adjustment Method

Loosen the bolt and remove the plate.


Remove enough shims to compensate
for the clearance in the connecting
area, then reinsert the plate and tighten
the bolts.

The removal of shims causes pressure


against the steel bushing, which
reduces clearance in the connecting
area.

™ Clearance of about 1mm is


normal.

18.5
19. CONSUMABLE PARTS

Replace the consumable parts like the filter elements and the bucket teeth
when maintaining periodically or before their wear limit.

Be sure to replace the consumable parts properly to use this machine


economically.

When requesting the parts, use HİDROMEK genuine spare parts.

When requesting the needed parts, check the part number by parts catalogue.

20.3 RECOMMENDED FUEL

Use only diesel fuel recommended in Part 20.1.

CAUTION
Never use gasoline or alcohol. If gasoline or alcohol is put into the fuel tank
accidentally, it must be completely drained from the fuel system. Operation of
the engine with gasoline or alcohol in the fuel system could cause a fire or
explosion.

The oil replacement interval (Part 22 and 23.7.5) in this manual is


recommended by assuming the fuel with sulfur content 0,005% or less. The use
of fuel with a sulfur content exceeding 0,005% shortens the engine oil
replacement interval by 50%.

WARNING
• After filling a fuel storage tank, allow 24 hours for dirt and water to sink to the
bottom.
• Always refill the engine’s fuel tank completely after engine operation. By
minimizing the amount of air in the fuel tank, moisture (air’s water content),
freezing, corrosion causes and starting difficulties reduce.
• When refueling the engine from a storage tank, be careful not to draw up
sediment from the bottom of the tank.
• Periodically remove the dirt and water from the fuel tank (Part 22 and
23.3.2).

20.2
21. PERIODIC REPLACEMENT OF MAIN PARTS

To secure the operational and working safety the user must maintain the
machine periodically. To secure a high level of safety, it is recommended for the
user to replace periodically the main parts listed on the next page.

As the material characteristics deteriorate or the main parts wear over time, it is
hard to judge their condition just by periodical checking. Therefore, they should
be replaced with the new ones at specified intervals, even though there are no
extraordinary abnormalities.

However, whenever any abnormality is found, replace them immediately. Also,


when replacing hoses, if any damage is found on the hose clamps, also replace
the clamps.

Regularly, check hydraulic oil hoses in addition to the periodical replaced pads,
if any abnormality is found, tighten or replace them.

When replacing the hoses, also replace O-Rings and gaskets.

For replacement of main parts, contact HİDROMEK dealer service center.

Check the hydraulic oil hoses and fuel hoses periodically as follows:

Description Checking items


Before working • Leakage from connector of fuel, hydraulic oil hoses.
Monthly checking • Leakage from connector of fuel, hydraulic oil hoses.
• Damage of fuel hoses, hydraulic oil hoses (cracks,
wear, falling-off).
Frequently checking • Leakage from connector of fuel, hydraulic oil hoses.
Blistering, twisting, aging, cracking and wear
damage of fuel, and oil hoses.

running.

Inspection:

1) Withdraw the oil level gauge and wipe


it clean.
2) Fully insert the oil level gauge, and
then carefully withdraw it again.
3) The engine oil adhering to the gauge
should be within the indicated range. If
the level is too low, add oil of the
specified type. If the oil on the gauge is
extremely dirty, the engine oil must be
replaced.

Adding engine oil:

1) Wipe the area around the oil filler cap


to prevent dust and dirt from entering
the engine.
2) Remove the oil filler cap and add oil as
required.
3) Wait 5 to 6 minutes, then check the oil
level using the oil level gauge. If level
is too high, allow some oil to escape
via the oil pan drain plug

25. GENERAL PRECAUTION

25.1 SAFETY

Please use the attachments that HİDROMEK recommends. Otherwise machine


lifetime would reduce and cause safety problem. If you try to use the
attachments not specified in this manual, contact the authorized HİDROMEK
dealer. Under other circumstances, the accidents are considered as the users
own responsibilities.

WARNING
Take special care when removing and mounting. Make sure to take the
following precautions for safety works when removing and mounting the work
equipment.

• Removing and mounting work equipment should be done on a level and


firm surface.
• When another person directs the operator, he must carefully follow the
signals of the leader.
• For heavy objects, use a crane.
• Before removing a heavy part, make sure to block it securely. Be careful of
the center of gravity for heavy objects.
• Support all lifted parts when working.
• When removing or mounting the work equipment put it down firmly.
• When lifting by a crane, never stand under the lifted object. Be sure to keep
away from the lifted object.

WARNING
The crane operation should be done by a qualified person. Non-qualified
persons should not operate it.
Contact the authorized HİDROMEK dealer for the removing and mounting
works.

25.1
25.2 CAUTION WHEN FITTING THE WORKING EQUIPMENT

WARNING
A long-length attachment will reduce the stability of the machine, so when
swinging it on a slope, it may overturn due to unbalance.
The following operations are very dangerous. Never perform the following:

• Do not descend with raised equipment.

• Do not swing on a slope. If such operations have to be carried out, pile soil
to make platform on the slope so that the machine can be kept horizontal
when operating.

• When a heavy attachment is fitted, swing flow becomes large (the distance
from swing start position to swing stop position). Pay special attention to
working area. Self-lowering may be increased.
• Abnormal attached boom or arm can cause serious damage. Contact the
authorized HİDROMEK dealer.

In case of being equipped with a long-length attachment, the work scope


becomes large. Pay special attention not to hit against other things due to
wrong judgment. In this time, keep sufficient distance from other things.

25.2
25.3. ATTACHMENT SELECTION

There are very important subjects while choosing and using the attachments. So
obey the rules that are determined in this part.

IMPORTANT
Select an attachment suitable for machine. Attachments that will be used, are
different machine to machine. While selecting the attachments, contact the
authorized HİDROMEK dealer.

25.4. PROTECTION AGAINST FALLING OR FLYING OBJECTS

Install the necessary protection guards according to working conditions where


falling or scattering materials are capable of entering the operator’s cab.

IMPORTANT
For protection guards and structures, contact with authorized HİDROMEK
dealer.

• Install protective cage when working


with a breaker.

25.3
• Install falling object guard (FOG) when
working at quarries and demolition.

• Install falling object protection structure


(FOPS) where falling or scattering
materials are capable of entering the
operator’s cab.

• When operating a breaker, make sure that you close the front window.
• During operation, make sure all personnel are out of range of materials,
which may fly up.

25.4
26. SELECTION OF TRACK SHOE

Choose suitable track shoes to match the ground conditions.

26.1 METHOD OF SHOE SELECTION

Confirm the category from the list of uses in Table 1, and then use Table 2 to
select the shoe. Categories “B” and “C” are wide shoes, so there are restrictions
on their use. Therefore, before using, check the restrictions and consider
carefully the conditions of use before selecting a suitable shoe width. If
necessary, give the customer guidance in their use.

When selecting the shoe width, select the narrowest possible within the range
that will give no problem with flotation and ground pressure. If a wider shoe than
necessary is used, there will be a large load on the shoe, and this may lead to
bending of the shoe cracking of the links, breakage of the pins, loosening of the
shoe bolts, or other problems.

Table 1:
Category Use Precautions when using
A Rocky ground, Travel in low speed when traveling on rough
ground with obstacles such as large boulders and
normal soil fallen trees.
B Soft ground Travel in high speed only on flat ground. When it
is impossible to avoid traveling over obstacles,
lower the travel speed to approximately half of low
speed.
Can not be used on rough ground where
there are large obstacles such as boulders and
fallen trees
C Extremely soft Use only for ground where “A” and “B” are
ground (Swamp impossible to sue. Travel in high speed only on
ground) flat ground. When it is impossible to avoid
traveling over obstacles, lower the travel speed to
approximately half of low speed.
Can not be used on rough ground where
there are large obstacles such as boulders and
fallen trees

27.1 MAINLY AVAILABLE WORKS

1) Breaking stone
2) Demolition work
3) Road repairing

It is widely used such as demolition of


building, breaking road surfaces,
tunneling work, smashing slag, and
breaking or cutting stone.

Press the chisel firmly onto the surface at


right angle.

When striking, press the chisel firmly


onto the surface, and lift the frame about
5 cm. Never raise the machine
unnecessarily high.

If the surface is repeatedly struck but it is


not broken within 1 minute, move the
breaker to break from the end portion.

The striking direction of chisel and the


direction of breaker body are a little
deviated. Correct the bucket cylinder so
that the direction is always aligned.

27.1
Press the chisel properly so idle striking
does not occur.

27.2 INCORRECT METHODS

The following methods are prohibited so as to extend the life span of the
machine and to work safely.

• Never operate the cylinder to its stroke end, leave about 5cm.

Rake in the smashed rock on installed


part.

Working by swing force.

Moving the chisel as striking.

27.2
Striking horizontally, or in upward
direction.
