250 Hourly Hydraulic Excavator Maintenance
LUBRICATE SWING CIRCLE
1. Lower the work equipment to the ground.
2. Using a grease pump, pump in grease through the grease fittings shown by arrows. (2 places)
3. After greasing, wipe off any old grease that was pushed out.
CHECK LEVEL OF BATTERY ELECTROLYTE
Carry out this procedure before operating the machine.
WARNING
Do not use the battery if the battery electrolyte level is below the LOWER LEVEL line. This will accelerate deterioration of the inside of the battery and reduce the service life of the battery. In addition, it may cause an explosion.
The battery generates flammable gas and there is danger of explosion, do not bring fire or sparks near the battery.
5000 Hourly Hydraulic Excavator Maintenance
WARNING: The parts and oil are at high temperature immediately after the engine is stopped, and may cause burns. Wait for the temperature to go down before starting the work.
When removing the oil filler cap, turn it slowly to release the internal pressure, then remove it.
NOTICE: If the machine is equipped with a hydraulic breaker, the hydraulic oil will deteriorate much faster than during normal bucket operations.
Refill capacity: 248 liters (65.52 US gal)
Prepare a handle (for the socket wrench).
Swing the upper structure so that hydraulic tank drain plug (P) and drain plug (A) at the bottom of the pump suction tube are in the middle between the left and right tracks.
Retract the arm and bucket cylinders, then lower the boom and put the teeth in contact with the ground.
Set the lock lever to the LOCK position and stop the engine.
Remove the cap of oil filler port (F) at the top of the hydraulic tank.
2000 Hourly Hydraulic Excavator Maintenance
CHANGE OIL IN FINAL DRIVE CASE
WARNING
The parts and oil are at high temperature immediately after the engine is stopped, and may cause serious burns. Wait for the temperature to go down before starting the operation.
If there is still pressure remaining inside the case, the oil or plug may fly out.
Loosen the plug slowly to release the pressure.
Refill capacity: each 10.5 liters (2.77 US gal)
Prepare a handle.
1. Set the TOP mark at the top, with the TOP mark and plug (P) perpendicular to the ground surface.
2. Set a container under plug (P) to catch the oil.
When Required Hydraulic Excavator Maintenance
CHECK, CLEAN AND REPLACE AIR CLEANER ELEMENT
WARNING
When using compressed air, there is danger of dirt flying and causing personal injury.
Always wear protective glasses, dust mask, or other protective equipment.
When removing the outer element from the air cleaner body, it is dangerous to pull it out by force. When working in high places or where the foothold is poor, be careful not to fall because of the reaction when pulling out the outer element.
NOTICE
Do not clean the air cleaner element until the air cleaner clogging monitor on the monitor panel light up. If the element is cleaned frequently before the air cleaner clogging monitor light up, the air cleaner will not be able to display its performance fully, and the cleaning efficiency will also go down.
In addition, during the cleaning operation, more dirt stuck to the element will fall inside the inner element.
If inspection, cleaning, or maintenance is carried out with the engine running, dirt will enter the engine and cause damage to the engine. Always stop the engine before carrying out these operations.
