all
ing in the machine being operated unsafely.
1-8
AVOID INJURY FROM REVERSE TRAVEL AND

SWING ACCIDENTS
If someone stands near the machine when this is
swinging or in reverse travel, the same can hit or run
over this person causing heavy injuries or even
death.
To avoid accidents due to swinging or reverse travel
check the area around the machine. Before reverse
travel or swinging the machine, make sure that
nobody is staying within its working reach.
Always pay attention for the presence of people
within the working area. Use horn or other signals to
warn bystanders before starting machine.
10
Take advantage of a person that watches the
reverse travel if visibility is hindered. Always keep
signalling person in view.
Use manual signals, according to local rules, if
working condition require a flagman.
No motions shall be made unless signals are clearly
understood by both signalman and operator.
Learn the meaning of all flags, signs, and markings
used on the job and confirm who has the responsi-
bility for signalling.
Keep windows, mirrors, and lights clean and in good
condition.
11
Dust, heavy rain, fog, etc., can reduce visibility. As
visibility decreases, reduce speed and use proper
lighting.
Read and understand all operation instructions
given in this manual.
1-9
SECTION 1
TRAVEL
BEFORE SETTING OFF
Remove any soil, mud, snow, ice, grease and oil
from your working footwear before operating the
machine. You might otherwise slip from steps and
pedals and thus initiate inadvertent movements.
Adjust the driver’s seat and the mirror before setting
off.
Close the front window and the cab door.
Warn persons in the immediate vicinity by sounding
the horn before setting off.
Never allow anyone to climb onto the machine.
SELECTING THE TRAVEL DIRECTION

The specifications “forward” and “reverse” as well as
“right” and “left” apply only when the machine is in
basic position and the machine operator is looking
through the front window towards the working
attachment.
If the upper structure is turned more than 90° from
the basic position, the machine moves in the oppo-
site direction from the viewing direction of the opera-
tor.
Therefore check the position of the upper structure
in relation to the undercarriage before setting off.
REVERSE TRAVEL
12
During reverse travel the view of the hazard zone is
restricted. Therefore enlist the help of experienced
flagman. Come to an agreement with the flagman to
ensure that you interpret his signals correctly.
13
1-10
TRAVELLING OVER LONG DISTANCES

Before travelling over long distances:
- return the machine to basic position;
- activate the upper structure holding brake in auto-
matic mode.
The machine is then in basic position.
Before driving on public highway, familiarize yourself
with local laws and the regulations in force.
Read and observe meticulously the instructions pro-
vided under “travelling on public roads” page 1-12.
TRAVELLING ON SLOPES
Never drive across slopes or turn the machine on a
slope.
The machine may slip or overturn.
Take special care on slippery soils.
Ensure that the tyres offer adequate grip. Only then
are the steering and braking properties of the
machine maintained.
TAKING A BEND
Reduce the machine speed while taking a bend. If
the speed is too high and the steering wheel is
wrenched round, there is a risk of the machine over-
turning (due to a wheel of the rigid axle being lifted 14
off the ground). Extremely hard braking while taking
a bend may also cause the machine to overturn.
DO NOT TOW ANOTHER VEHICLE

The machine is not suitable for towing trailers or
other vehicles; this would result in damage to the
axles and gearbox.
The towing fixture is provided solely for towing or
recovery the machine from hazard areas or for lash-
ing purposes on transport vehicles.

TRAVELLING UPHILL AND DOWNHILL

During long tracks with remarkable gradient and at
too high speed, you could loose the machine control
and not being able to brake anymore.
Never overcome tracks with a gradient higher than
30° (57,7%). Look for an alternative track with less
gradient.
Never travel on a long downhill track with service
brake continuously engaged. This can cause an
extreme wear to the brake plates, and in the worst
cases, it can cause the breaking of the service
brake.
To avoid that the travel speed becomes too fast dur-
ing travelling downhill, engage the 1st gear. 20
With remarkable gradients, engage the creep
speed.
Travel only in basic position and ahead, in this case
the flywheel is positioned on the steering axle.
Do not travel across slopes or reverse the machine
across slopes as it could overturn.
Before travelling downhill or uphill engage the 1st
gear.
In this way the braking effect of the travel motor
increases and high speeds, not allowed, are
avoided.
Adjust the travel speed by means of the travel
pedal.
S WARNING S
Stop the engine if the gradient is higher than 35°,
as the lowering of the lubricating effect of oil on
constructive assemblies causes damages and
wear.

SECTION 1
JOB SITE OPERATION

INVESTIGATE JOB SITE BEFOREHAND
Clear all persons from area of operation and
machine movement. Make sure worksite footing has
sufficient strength to firmly support the machine.
When digging deeply, avoid hitting bottom of boom
or bucket cylinder hoses against the ground. Use
the bucket only for digging. To avoid accidents, do
not use it as a jack hammer or wrecking ball.
21
DIG WITH CAUTION

Accidental severing of underground cables or gas
lines may cause an explosion and/or fire, possibly
resulting in serious injury or death.
Before digging, check the location of cables, gas
lines, and water lines. Keep the minimum distance
required by law from cables, gas lines, or water
lines. If a fiber optic cable should be accidentally
severed, do not look into the end, to avoid eyes
injury. If in doubt, contact local authorities and/or the
distributing companies (Electric Power, Gas, Tele-
phone, Water, Telecommunications, etc.). Ask for
information about underground utility lines.

Antidote:
- EXTERNAL: rinse well with water, removing any
soiled clothing.
- INTERNAL: avoid vomiting. Drink water to rinse
your mouth. Consult a doctor.
- EYES: rinse abundantly with water for 15 minutes
and consult a doctor.
- When the electrolyte of a battery is frozen, it can
explode if you attempt to charge the battery or if 44
you try to start the engine using a booster battery.
Always keep the battery charged to prevent the
electrolyte freezing.
Batteries generate explosive gases. Keep all
flames, sparks and cigarettes away. Provide good
ventilation when changing a battery or using a bat-
tery in an enclosed space. Always protect your eyes
when working near a battery.
45
Never touch the battery terminals with your hands.
This can induce a state of electrolysis and impair the
main organs of the body.

PRECAUTIONS FOR WASTE DISPOSAL

Improperly disposing of waste can threaten the envi-
ronment.
Each country has its own Regulations on this sub-
ject. It is therefore advisable to prepare suitable con-
tainers to collect and store momentarily all solid and
fluid materials that must not be scattered in the envi-
ronment to avoid pollution.
At preset intervals these products will be delivered
to disposal stations legally recognized and present
in this Country.
Hereunder are listed some products of the machine
requiring disposal:
- lubricating oil; 47
- brakes system oil;

- coolant mixture, condensation rests and pure anti-
freeze;
- diesel oil;
- oil and diesel oil filter elements;
- engine and air conditioning air cleaners elements;
- battery.
Also polluting rags, paper, sawdust and gloves must
be disposed in compliance with the same proce-
dures.
Do not use food or beverage containers that may
mislead someone into drinking from them. Do not
pour waste onto the ground, down a drain, or into
any water source. Air conditioning refrigerants
escaping into the air can damage the Earth’s atmos-
phere. Government regulations may require a certi-
fied air conditioning service centre to recover and
recycle used air conditioning refrigerants. Obtain
information on the proper way to recycle or dispose
of waste from your local environmental or recycling
centre, or from your Dealer.

SECTION 1
UNDERCARRIAGE
The undercarriage of the hydraulic excavator is
used as a stable base and for travelling.
The undercarriage is moreover equipped with com-
ponents permitting stabilization of the machine dur-
ing working operations, such as the levelling blade
and the stabilizers.
The machine is driven hydraulically by oil motors
and travel gearboxes acting on both axles.
Undercarriage and upper structure are connected
by a slewing ring.
UPPER STRUCTURE
The upper structure accommodates the drive
engine and part of the hydraulic and electrical sys-
tems.
The upper structure carries also the working attach-
ment.
HYDRAULIC SYSTEM
All travelling and working movements are executed
hydraulically. The operational controls are activated
by hand and are transmitted via control circuits. The
oil flow between upper structure and undercarriage
is ensured by the rotor. The hydraulic system is pro-
tected against possible overloads by the pressure-
relief valves.
STEERING
The machine is equipped with a hydrostatic power
steering system, that is it can be steered by hand
with increased force when the engine is not running
or when the hydraulic steering pump has failed.
SERVICE BRAKE
The service brake is composed of four multi-plate
brakes integrated in the wheel hubs. The brake is
operated hydraulically.
To ensure the braking function at all times, the brak-
ing system is equipped with hydraulic pressure
accumulators, which are permanently monitored.
PARKING BRAKE
The parking brake can be applied by blocking the
brake plates with spring pressure.
The parking brake is incorporated in the gearbox. In
this way it acts on all the wheels.
FLOATING AXLE
The steered axle is a floating axle. It can be locked
hydraulically during the digging operations with two
cylinders.
1-30
ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
The electrical system operates on 24 V.
12 V are provided by an electronic transformer.
Electronic modules (Power Control System) ensure
that the available engine power is converted in the
best possible way into hydraulic performance.
WORKING ATTACHMENT
The working attachment is composed of positioning,
dipper and boom, bucket link and bucket. Other dig-
ging or working attachments can also be installed to
the machine.
MACHINE SIDES
The terms “right”, “left”, “front” and “rear”, when used
in this manual, indicate the sides of the machine as

SECTION 2
CAB LIGHTING
The cab interior lighting is switched on and off with
the switch (1).
The lighting can be switched on even if the ignition
key has been pulled out from the cylinder.
If the light remains accidentally alight for a longer
period (all over the week-end), the batteries may be
unnecessarily discharged.
Therefore always check that the interior lighting is
switched off, before leaving the machine.
41
AUXILIARY SOCKET
A socket outlet (1) is installed in the panelling on the
right behind the operator’s seat.
This provides the output voltage of the voltage
transformer (12 V) for connection of the cool-box
(option).
Other electrical consumers can also be connected
as long as the maximum output of the voltage trans-
former is not exceeded.
The voltage transformer installed at the factory is
designed so as to supply not only a cassette radio
but also the cool-box (option); the maximum output
is 90 W (67 ft·lb/s).
For this reason, before connecting a device, check 42
the power input it requires. When the voltage trans-
former is overloaded, its temperature rises so that
the overload protection switches off and leaves the
connected unit without current. In this case pull the
plug out of the socket (1). After 5 - 10 minutes, the
overload protection has cooled down and reacti-
vates the voltage transformer.
If the overload condition persists, the thermal shut-
down does not work anymore and the fuse of the
supply line blows. To replace the fuse, the panelling
below the radio must be removed.
The socket is live when the ignition-key is pulled out
from the ignition cylinder.
A user remaining accidentally connected for a long
period (about a week-end) can cause the discharge
of the machine’s batteries.
Therefore, before leaving the machine, check that
the connected user is switched off.

STEERING COLUMN
Do not adjust the steering column during travel.
Before adjusting the steering column:
- stop the machine;
- position the button of travel direction to idle;
- activate the parking brake.
The angle of the steering column can be adjusted to
suit the height and posture of the operator. For this
operation proceed as follows:
- press lever with toe cap down and keep in position
lever (2) to unlock the steering column;
- tilt steering column (1) into required position;
- release lever (2) to lock steering column (1);
- check that the steering column is locked.

SECTION 2
HEATING
The engine coolant flows through the heat
exchanger of the heating system. The heating out-
put is therefore also dependent on the engine tem-
perature. The full heating output is not achieved
until the engine has run up to operating tempera-
ture.
Even if the heating is not required for an extended
period, switch heating system on at full output once
a week for about 5 minutes in order to mix the cool-
ant in the engine and that in the heating system.
m
When working in dusty, severely contaminated air,
the heating system can be operated temporarily in
the circulating air mode (only with optional air condi-
tioner).
Turn rotary knob (3) clockwise according to required

ary! Only in emergency case, for instance if the
service brake fails, you can activate the parking
brake while the machine is still moving.
In this case the braking effect is immediate, and the
wheels lock!
The gearbox contains two packs of plates, that are

pressed by preloaded springs, when the parking
brake is applied.
PARKING BRAKE ACTIVATION

The parking brake is engaged by keeping the button
(1) pressed until the left lamp lights up. This button
has two lights and three engagement positions:
- left lamp on: brake engaged;
- left light off: brake released;
- right light on: automatic mode is active (in 1st gear
only).
When the engine is stopped, the current engage-
ment condition is saved.
By using the buttons for travel direction, you can
select the travel direction, but you cannot start the
machine as the parking brake is engaged. 55
AUTOMATIC MODE
To select the automatic mode, press and hold button
(1) for more than two seconds.
To exit automatic mode, press the button (1) again.
Switching always occurs with no delay.
In the automatic mode, when the machine is
stopped, the parking brake is automatically
engaged.
If the travel direction has already been set, the
machine moves when the travel pedal (2) is acti-
vated.
If the travel pedal (2) remains unused for more than
0,5 seconds, the parking brake is engaged.

OPERATOR’S SEAT
To operate the machine correctly with maximum effi-
ciency and comfort, the seat should be correctly
adjusted to suit the weight and height of the opera-
tor.
S WARNING S
Before using the controls, make sure that the seat
is adjusted and positioned correctly.
S DANGER S
m
Never adjust the seat while travelling, because you
must concentrate on the road.
Before adjusting the seat:
- stop the machine;
.co
- position the button of travel direction to idle;

protection system (ROPS) which ensures your
safety. The seat belt will protect you efficiently if you
attach it correctly and if you always wear it. The
seat belt must not be too loose. It must not be
twisted or caught in the seat.
Check periodically the seat belt and all its securing
m
elements. If you notice that the seat belt and its
securing elements are damaged or some of them
missing, perform immediately repair or replacement
of parts. Seat belts damaged or worn because of an
accident, they have to be replaced.
.co
The seat belt buckle must not be clogged, for
instance from paper or other objects, otherwise the
hooking tongue does not lock. Never run belt over
rigid or fragile objects such as bunches of keys or

ASSISTED STARTING (JUMP-

STARTING)
S CAUTION S
Keep any potential ignition sources, such as
unshielded lights or burning cigarettes, away from
the batteries. Battery gases are readily flammable.
A high current flows on connection of the earthing
cable. Sparks occurring at the contact point may
ignite gases at the discharged battery.
The ground clamp should therefore be connected
as far as possible from the discharged battery.
Never lean over the batteries when jump-starting a
vehicle. Wear goggles.
Never use assisted starting when the batteries are
defective or frozen.
9
Never connect batteries (battery sets) unless they
have the same voltage.
Use only tested jumper cables with insulated termi-
nal clips and an adequate lead diameter.
Ensure that the bodies of the supplying and receiv-
ing machines are not in contact. Otherwise a cur-
rent flow might result from connecting the positive
poles. Risk of short-circuiting.
Never use jumper cables with overvoltage, e.g. two
or three batteries or booster units connected in
series and generating voltages in excess of 12 V.
Never use welding generators or welding trans-
formers as a source of current.
Position jumper cables in such a way that they can-
not be caught by rotating engine components.
BEFORE JUMP-STARTING
Switch off all electrical consumers in receiving
machine (with discharged battery) and turn ignition
key to position “0”.
Switch off all consumers in supplying machine
(booster battery) and shut off engine.
The charge of the batteries supplying electric power
should not be lower than the charge of the flat bat-
teries.
3-11
SECTION 3
CONNECTING THE JUMPER CABLES

Connect the red jumper cable to the positive clamp
of the discharged battery (1) and then to the positive
clamp of the booster battery (2).
Connect the black jumper cable first to the negative
clamp of the booster battery (3) and then to a bright-
metal point on the receiving machine (4).
10
STARTING THE ENGINE

Start the engine of the supplying machine and run it
with stepped-up revolutions.
Start the engine of the receiving machine (with dis-
charged battery). If the engine does not start up
after 15 seconds, wait one minute before restarting.
Once the engine has started up, proceed as follows:
Switch on some high-consumption users, e.g. com-
plete lighting system, blower on stage 3 and the air-
conditioning system if present. All this prevents that
when the cables are detached, peaks of current are
generated, that could on their turn damage the elec-
tronic units.
Disconnect battery jumper cables in this way:
- negative terminal on receiving machine (4);
- negative terminal on delivering machine (3);
- positive terminal on receiving machine (2);
- positive terminal on delivering machine (1).
Switch off high-consumption units again.
Run the engine at moderate speed for about half an
hour. Batteries are partially re-charged.
Have the electrical system of the machine checked,
to determine why the batteries were discharged.

TRAVEL
BEFORE STARTING THE TRAVEL

Remove any soil, mud, snow, ice, grease and oil
from your working footwear. You might otherwise
slip from steps and pedals and thus initiate inadvert-
ent movements.
Raise the working attachment only to such an extent
that the machine can pass under overhead power
lines without risk.
Adjust the operator’s seat, the steering column and
the rear view mirrors before setting off.
If the machine is equipped with seat belt, fasten it.
Close the front window and the cab door.
the horn before setting off.
Never travel across slopes.
Take the utmost care on slippery and greasy
ground.
Check for correct tyre pressure.
Make sure the wheels have adequate grip; only then
are the steering and braking properties assured.
Give the engine 2 to 3 minutes time to warm up
before setting off.
Run the engine at full load only if warm.
BASIC POSITION
The specifications “forward” and “reverse” as well as
“right” and “left” apply only when the machine is in
basic position and the machine operator is looking
through the front window towards the working
attachment.
Bear in mind that the required and the actual direc-
tions of travel “forward” and “reverse” as well as the
required and actual directions of cornering “right”
and “left” are identical only when the machine is in
basic position.
If the upper structure is turned more than 90° from
its basic position, the machine moves in the oppo-
site direction from the viewing direction of the opera-
tor.
Therefore check the position of the upper structure
in relation to the undercarriage before setting off.
3-14
The machine is in its basic position when the cab (1)

is over the left pair of wheels of the steering axle (2).
A = travelling forwards: the wheels of the steered
axle are in front.
B = travelling backwards: the wheels of the rigid
axle are in front.
Only in the basic position are the travel direction
selected and the true travel direction the same.
S WARNING S
If the upper structure is slewed more than 90° out of
m
basic position, the machine moves in the opposite
direction of the one selected.
Example:
.co 14
es
The upper structure (3) is turned by more than 90°
out of its basic position.
The operator looks through the front window and
wants to move in this direction.
He depresses the travel pedal. The machine, how-
uid
ever, does not travel in direction B but in direction A.

The operator wants to travel “forward”, he is actually
travelling in “reverse”.
Because of this:
If the position of the upper structure (3) in relation to
the undercarriage (4) is not exactly known, look out
-g
of the windows to check the direction of the upper

structure (3) with respect to the undercarriage (4).
If this is not possible, depress first the travel pedal
slightly.

In this way you can determine the machine travel

direction.
Depress the travelling pedal fully only after the
actual travelling direction is perfectly clear.

INCHING - TRAVEL SPEED ADJUSTER

The travel speed can be adjusted by using the knob
/ potentiometer (1).
By turning it to the left: travel speed is decreased.
By turning it to the right: travel speed is increased.
When travelling uphill, machine speed does not
decrease. When travelling downhill, the braking
effect of the engine is increased, so that the
machine speed does not increase. In this way, a
non-permitted increase in travel speed and danger
situations both for persons and for the machine are
prevented.
When stopping the machine on slopes (travel speed
in “0” position), the machine keeps still, even without 23
actuating the service brake and the automatic mode
of the parking brake.
Thanks to the closed oil circuit, as regards inner
leaks, wheel movement is prevented by blocking the
travel engine.

OPERATION AND SPEED OF AUTOMATIC GEAR

CHANGE
During travel at 1st speed (left lamp on button (1) lit
and right lamp out), the machine travels at low
speed “Tortoise” up to 5 km/h (3.11 mph), then the
automatic gear change engages and the speed
switches over to 2nd gear. Speed can increase up to
20/30 km/h (12.43/18.64 mph).
If during 1st speed travel you depress the “Snail”
button (3), speed will be reduced automatically to
1 km/h (0.62 mph).
During travel at 2nd speed, if speed lowers up to
5 km/h (3.11 mph), the automatic gear change
engages and speed decreases to 1st gear, if you
travel at 2nd speed and depress the button “Snail”
(3), the speed decreases up to 2 km/h (1.24 mph), 30
the automatic gear change engages and the
machine runs at 1st speed.

SECTION 3
FLOATING AXLE BLOCKING AND

UNBLOCKING
The steered axle is suspended from the undercar-
riage in such a way that it can float about the longi-
tudinal axis of the machine (floating axle). This
feature is an advantage when driving on uneven ter-
rain. During working it is, however, necessary to
avoid axle floating. To achieve this, the oil exchange
between two hydraulic cylinders taking support on
the axle is prevented. The floating axle is then
blocked and the stability of the machine considera-
bly increased. Before using the machine for driving,
the floating axle must be unblocked.
OPERATION
The blocking and unblocking of the floating axle
activates by depressing button (1), that has two
lamps and three engagement positions:
- left and right lights out: blocking of floating axle
activated;
- left light on and right light out: blocking of floating
axle deactivated;
- left light out and right light on: automatic opera-
tion.
Depress button (1) many times until you achieve the
required condition.
AUTOMATIC MODE 33
To select the automatic mode or to exit this mode,
depress button (1) and hold for more than two sec-
onds.
In automatic mode some of the following conditions
take place:
- the floating axle is blocked if the travel pedal
remains inoperative for more than 0.5 seconds;
- the floating axle is released when you depress the
travel pedal;
- for the full time of stabilizers or blade operation,
the floating axle is blocked. At the end of opera-
tion, the axle blocking is restored.
Beware, at machine departure from the factory this
option is disabled. This option can be enabled or
disabled through the Service menu.

AUTOMATIC SPEED REDUCTION (AUTO IDLE)

The speed reduction function (Auto Idle) automati-
cally reduces the engine speed in no-load working
conditions.
The drive engine is throttled down to idling speed if
work with the working equipment is interrupted for
longer than 4 seconds.
Fuel consumption and noise and exhaust emissions
are reduced.
When the operator activates a hydraulic function,
the drive engine speed is again increased to the
previously set speed of the respective power level.
The switching state of the Auto Idle function (ON/
OFF) is saved after engine shut-off.
NOTE: do not activate the engine speed automatic
reduction with following functions: craning, hammer-
ing, rotary cutter or during travel.
Risk of unexpected changes in machine power.
To activate the engine automatic speed reduction

depress push-button (1): the right lamp lights up.
To deactivate the engine automatic speed reduction
depress push-button (1) again: the right lamp lights
off.
The Auto-Idle speeds and the time to activation are
pre-programmed at the factory. These parameters
can be modified depending on the conditions of use
of the machine. Contact the After-sales service if a
modification of the programmed values is required.

POWER LEVEL SELECTION

Select the power level by means of buttons (1) and
(2). If the arrow buttons are depressed longer, the
values keep changing automatically.
The engine speed can be varied in 7 stages up to
maximum engine speed and pump performance.
Power levels 6 and 7 are used for working with high
pump output.
Power levels 4 and 5 are used for working with a
engine power rating called “economic”. Engine
speed and pump output are reduced and the work-
ing speed is slightly lower.
With power levels 1 thru 3, the machine works with
further reduced engine speed and pump output. 40
These power levels are particularly useful for preci-
sion work, e.g. lifting operations, and for further
reduction of the fuel consumption.

the locking pin (1) is set right above the opening of
the undercarriage.
Lift the pin (1), turn it away from the seat and push it
downward.
The locking pin engages in the opening of the car-
riage. If the locking pin cannot be turned at all or
only with difficulty, slew the upper structure slowly to
the left or to the right. Meanwhile push the locking
pin downwards.
RELEASING THE UPPER STRUCTURE 46

Pull up locking pin (1), turn towards the seat and
engage.
If the locking pin cannot be turned at all or only with
difficulty, slew the upper structure slowly to the left
or to the right. Meanwhile pull the locking pin
upwards.
UPPER STRUCTURE HOLDING BRAKE

The slewing gearbox is equipped with a multi-plate
brake. This is applied by spring pressure and
released by hydraulic pilot pressure.
The upper structure holding brake can be applied at
any time with button (1), (left lamp lit). The holding
becomes active only after hydraulic control lever (2)
is in neutral position and the upper structure slewing
moving has come to a halt.
About 3 seconds later, the “Holding brake” lamp (3)
lights up on the display.
47
3-31
SECTION 3
With ignition key is off, with engine shut off or in the

event of system voltage failure, the upper structure
holding brake is active.
The upper structure holding brake can be operated
in the following three modes:
- lamps off, button (1) not pressed: the brake is
released and the upper structure can rotate freely;
- left lamp off and right lamp on, by pressing button
(1) once only: automatic operation. The holding
brake is automatically applied when the upper
structure comes to an halt. The brake releases
when a slewing movement is initiated. Lamp (3)
lights up if the upper structure is not moved for 48
more than three seconds;
- left lamp on and right lamp off, by pressing button
(1) twice: the brake is engaged and the upper
structure is stopped.
Automatic operation
The holding brake is automatically applied when the
upper structure comes to an halt. It releases when a
slewing movement is initiated.
If the upper structure holding brake is set to
“Applied”, during a slewing movement, left lamp
lights up.
For safety reasons, the brake is applied, however,
only after the slewing movement has ended.
Technical problems can lead to a change of the
functions of button (1).
The following switching states of the upper structure
holding brake that are active when the ignition is
switched off, are active again when the ignition is
switched on.
Ignition OFF Ignition ON
Brake released Automatic
Automatic Automatic
Applied Applied
Releasing the upper structure holding brake

Depress repeatedly button (1), until lamps on push-
buttons turn off. The holding brake is released and
the upper structure is free to turn (not possible when
pilot control is off).
In the automatic mode (with right lamp lit up), the
holding brake is released when the slewing control
lever is moved out of neutral position.

Upper structure holding brake faults

- All 3 switching states continue to be available; in
the “automatic” or “applied” states, the respective
lamp flashes (“in automatic”, right lamp; “applied”
left lamp).
- Only the “released” and the “applied” states are
available; while with “applied” state the left lamp
flashes.
Upper structure holding brake, emergency acti-

vation
S WARNING S
The upper structure slewing is free as soon as the
upper structure emergency brake is released with
the emergency activation!
In such case, the upper structure is not able to stop
automatically after the end of the slewing move-
ment.
When working on slopes or in an inclined position
of the excavator, the upper structure can continue
to slew uncontrolled if the slewing movement is not
stopped by countering.
To avoid dangerous situations, the emergency
release function should be used only in exceptional
cases.
Rectify any faults of the upper structure holding
brake immediately (or have them repaired).
The pilot pressure needed for releasing the upper

structure holding brake is controlled by means of a
solenoid valve.
In the event of solenoid failure, the upper structure
holding brake can be released with the emergency
release device.
The solenoid valve is installed in the frame behind
the cab (1).
Remove the base-plate of the maintenance opening
below the valve stack.
Screw the setscrew (3) down to the limit stop using
an Allen key (2). The upper structure holding brake
is released and the upper structure can turn freely.
After removal of the fault, screw the setscrew back
out to the upper stop.

SECTION 3
UPPER STRUCTURE SLEWING

Switch the upper structure holding brake into the
automatic mode by depressing button (1) until lamp
is lit up (this mode is selected automatically on
engine start-up).
Activate the pilot control by pushing forward the
safety lever (3).
Unlock the upper structure.
To slew the upper structure to the right push hydrau-
lic control lever (2) to the right.
To slew the upper structure to the left push hydraulic
control lever (2) to the left.
The slewing speed increases the further the hydrau- 50
lic control lever (2) is moved to the right or to the left.
UPPER STRUCTURE HOLDING

The maximum slewing speed depends on the slew-
ing features set by button (4):
- lamps off: low slewing speed;
- left lamp on: standard slewing speed;
- lamps on: high slewing speed;
- intermittent lamps: fault message.
UPPER STRUCTURE BRAKING

The slewing movement of the upper structure is
braked when the hydraulic control lever returns to
neutral position.
By means of push-button (4) you can set the braking
effect of the upper structure holding brake. The time
of braking from lever release to upper structure stop
can be suited to individual requirements according
to 3 levels.
- Lamps off: soft braking of upper struc-
ture slewing movement.
- Right lamp on: standard braking action.
- Lamps on: hard braking of upper struc-
ture slewing movement.
Countering (i.e. shifting the slewing control lever in
the opposite direction) enhances the braking action
even further.
S WARNING S
Both lamps flash at intervals if a fault occurs in the
system. Push-button (3) operation is disabled. The
switching functions are blocked. In neutral position
of slewing control lever, the slewing braking action
is weaker. If necessary, increase the slewing brak-
ing action by moving the lever to the opposite direc-
tion (countering).

POWER BOOST FUNCTION - POWER

BOOST
The “Power boost function” is always automatically
active in power levels 1 - 3 and in the travelling func-
tion (travel pedal depressed).
In the event of heavier loading, the hydraulic pres-
sure for the working functions and for travelling is
increased.
This means higher lifting force, higher extraction
force, higher breaking force, higher traction forces
and improved precision control at reduced working
speeds.
When button (1) on right hydraulic control lever (2)
is depressed, the activation of the power boost func-
tion is displayed on the screen
The function remains active for about 10 seconds.
The function activates only if power levels 4 - 7 are
active and the activation time is not exceeded.
In power levels 1 - 3 and during travelling, the auto-
matic activation of the function is not displayed, in
order to have more free space on the screen for
other symbols during the work.
The increase of hydraulic pressure is now available
for about 10 seconds. After about 10 seconds, the

HYDRAULIC DAMPING
By means of the hydraulic damping, the working
movements acquire smoothness. Abrupt move-
ments of the hydraulic control levers and travel
pedal are converted into smooth machine move-
ments.
The controls of boom, dipper, bucket and travel are
in this way suited in the best way to the operator’s
ability and to the machine’s operational state.
For instance:
- low damping:
exact and progressive sequence of the hydraulic
control levers movements, during building and
craning works;
- high damping:
smooth power boost or braking during the transfer
movements.

SECTION 3
WORKING STAGES
If possible, working operations should always be
carried out by pulling the dipper. When digging, use
the retracting forces of the dipper and work with
shallow cutting angles of the bucket.
Steep bucket angles during digging reduce the per-
formance.
66
Make smooth and regular movements with the
boom. Raising and lowering of the boom must
always be initiated slowly and smoothly. When the
boom is stopped abruptly, the machine is subjected
to heavy shock loads, this results in excessive wear
and damage.
67
Hold the teeth of the bucket in the direction of dig-
ging. This reduces the digging resistance and possi-
ble damage of the teeth.
68
3-48
The maximum digging forces are produced at

angles ß at approximately 165°.
If the machine is to develop maximum digging
forces, digging must be done slowly. The dipper cyl-
inder must have the longest possible lever arm.
69
To remove sand and soil adhering to the bucket, the
dipper must be stretched out to nearly horizontal
position and the bucket be brought into dumping
position. If sand and soil do not drop out of the
bucket by gravity alone, the corresponding control
lever must be moved several times forwards and
backwards. Do not move the bucket cylinder against
block, if strong shaking of the bucket is needed to
remove adhering soil.
70
Stop the slewing movement slowly. To stop the slew-
ing movement, release the slewing control lever
before reaching the place where work is to be done
or material to be dumped.
71
3-49
SECTION 3
Soil levelling. For filling and levelling the soil after

the excavation work, the bucket must be moved hor-
izontally forwards and backwards.
To level the soil, material has to be shoved or raked
with the bucket.
The levelling operation must be performed by
extending the dipper slowly, by raising the boom
slightly and then, when the dipper crosses the verti-
cal position, by lowering slowly the boom. Now
move the machine so that the bucket movement is
held horizontal.
For the soil levelling in the opposite direction, per-
m
form the above mentioned operation in reverse 72
order.
For the working operations described above, sev-
eral bucket movements can be combined. By corre-
.co
sponding actuation of the boom control lever, it is
possible to cut a slope and to level it at the same
time.

OPERATING THE MACHINE WITH COLD WEATHER

FUEL
Refill the fuel tank after each working day to prevent
the formation of condensation and the entry of water
into the fuel system.
To prevent the formation of crystals (-2 °C (28.4 °F))
use a low temperature fuel or mix a protective fluid
with your fuel.
LUBRICATING OIL
Select oil viscosity (SAE grade) according to ambi-
ent temperature before starting engine.
Increase oil change frequency when operating
below -10 °C (14 °F).
BATTERY
Efficient cold starting requires that battery is well-
charged.
Starting limit temperatures can be lowered by 4 or
5 °C (39.2 or 41 °F) by heating batteries up to about
+20 °C (68 °F) (to do so, remove batteries and store
in warm place).
COOLANT
When temperature approaches to 0 °C (32 °F) it is
necessary, to avoid the hazard of freezing, to check
whether the cooling circuit is filled with anti-freezing
mixture: otherwise, replace the coolant of radiator
with this mixture.
We recommend to use AGRIFLU coolant liquid, see
in the table hereunder the mixture percentages
according to outer temperature:
Outer temperature AGRIFLU Water

3-51
SECTION 3
COLD START - PREHEATING

The machine can be equipped with a preheating
device.
By means of this system and using winter grade fuel, 1
resistant up to -15 °C (5 °F), the operation is safe up
to a temperature of about -25 °C (-13 °F).
If with temperatures lower than -25 °C (-13 °F), fuel
should still be so thick to prevent the engine from
starting, bring the machine for a certain time, into a
warm environment. 2
Fuel additives (fluidizing) and similar products have
not to be mixed up with diesel oil at all.
3 4
With temperatures (engine coolant) between -1,5 °C F34468
(29.3 °F) and -28 °C (-18.4 °F), the preheating stage 74

starts about 1-2 seconds after the setting of the igni-
tion key to position “I”. The lamp (1) on display lights
up for about 10-15 seconds. As soon as the lamp
turns off, bring key to position “II” and start the
engine. When the preheating stage is ended (lamp
(1) turns off), to activate the post-heating stage in
stand-by, still 30 seconds are available for the
engine start and for the activation of the post-heat-
ing. If this is not the case, for the starting stage are
still available from 0 to 15 seconds, for the heating
of the intake air.
In order to activate the post-heating phase, the
engine should necessarily be started within a limit
time of 40-45 seconds from ignition activation.
The post-heating stage begins after the loading volt-
age for alternator is available. It lasts between 60
and 120 seconds according to the temperature.
To obtain the best cold start performance, the
engine should be started (ignition key turned to posi-
tion “II”) immediately after the turning off of the lamp
(1).
If the engine temperature is higher than 10 °C
(50 °F), after start-up, the engine turns idle for 3
seconds.
If the engine temperature is lower than 10 °C
(50 °F), after start-up, the engine turns for 3 sec-
onds between 900 and 1400 rpm (depending on
temperature).
After that and in both cases, the engine sets auto-
matically on rpm of power level 2.
3-52
During engine preheating, the display shows every

3 seconds and for 1 second long, the indication that
the preheating stage is still ongoing. The preheating
degree reached by the engine, is shown as a bar-
graph, placed horizontally.
During the preheating stage, the power level can be
set with arrows (3) and (4). Up to power level 5, this
setting becomes active also during the preheating
phase. By setting the power levels 6 and 7, they are
activated only after the engine has reached the
service temperature.
AFTER THE ENGINE START - PREHEATING

The oil contained in the hydraulic system activates
the cylinders and the different hydraulic motors.
Cold hydraulic oil is viscous. In such a case, some
machine functions as travel and rotation move-
ments, are performed more slowly than with hot oil.
S WARNING S
It is absolutely forbidden to force the oil heating,
because this procedure can damage the machine
remarkably.
S WARNING S
With very low temperatures, the hydraulic system
can reduce the machine speed. For this reason we
recommend the outmost attention before the sys-
tem has reached the service temperature, to avoid
the hazard of injuries.
It is vital that oil inside of the machine hydraulic sys-

tem is brought to the right operating temperature
correctly. For this reason, to bring oil to service tem-
perature, you have to observe following conditions:
Start the engine and let it run idle and at low speed
for five minutes.
Let the machine perform a several number of move-
ments like lifting, extension/retraction, slewing and
travel, to allow the hot hydraulic oil to reach all cylin-
ders and the motor.
Carry out these movements until the hydraulic sys-
tem of the machine reaches the service tempera-
ture.
3-53
SECTION 3
OPERATING THE MACHINE WITH HOT WEATHER

Air density decreases as altitude or ambient temper-
ature increases. As a result of this, the engine’s
maximum output, quality of exhaust gas, tempera-
ture level and, in extreme cases, starting behaviour,
are impaired. Engine can be used at altitudes up to
1000 metres (3280.83 ft) and temperatures up to
30 °C (86 °F) for mobile operations. If the engine is
to operate under more severe conditions (at higher
altitudes or temperatures), it will be necessary to
reduce the injected fuel quantity and thus engine
power.
75
Observe the following recommendations:

Maintain the correct level of coolant solution in the
coolant reservoir.
Check the condition of the cooler cap before start-
ing. Replace the cap if necessary.
Clean the radiator and the engine carefully.
Check the condition of the alternator and blower
belt.
Use lubricants with the recommended degree of vis-
cosity.
Use a suitable coolant.
3-54
MACHINE RECOVERY AND TOWING

Tow the machine only with a tow rod.
The tow-rod must be free from damage. It must be
dimensioned in such a way that the calculated
breaking load is equal to three times the tractive
power of the towing machine.
The towing vehicle must have adequate tractive and
braking power.
Drive slowly, carefully and smoothly.
All persons must keep clear of the tow-rod.
m
Tow only if the brakes and the steering of the
machine are functioning properly and if the machine
cannot be transported otherwise.
Tow defective machines only as far as necessary to
.co
recover the machine from hazardous areas.
After the recovery, the machine must be secured
against inadvertent movements and unauthorized
starting.
Have the machine repaired before transporting it
over greater distances or load it onto a transport
vehicle.
es
The machine is not suitable for towing trailers or
other vehicles; this would result in damage to the
axles and gearbox. The tow coupling is designed
solely for towing or recovering vehicles from hazard-
ous areas or for lashing purposes on transport vehi-
cles.
uid
GEARBOX DISENGAGEMENT
Disengage the drive in the travel gearbox by turning
the hex-head bolt (2) off about 180° to the right or
the left until the index ball is felt to engage.
The connection between travel gearbox and the
-g
axles is now interrupted.

76
3-55
SECTION 3
DURING RECOVERY AND TOWING

Limit the hazard area as large as possible.
Proceed with caution and slowly.
When the engine is running, the service brake is
active.
When the engine is not running, the service brake is
only partially active.
The legal requirements are fulfilled even with the
engine stationary, a filled brake pressure accumula-
tor permits about 6 to 8 braking cycles until standstill
of the machine.
AFTER RECOVERY AND TOWING

Secure the machine against inadvertent move-
ments.
Press the bucket into the soil.
Protect the machine against unauthorized starting.
Re-engage the drive in the travel gearbox by turning
the hex-head bolt (2) off about 180° to the right or
the left until the index ball is felt to engage.
The connection between travel gearbox and the
axles is now restored.
SECURE THE MACHINE

During the creation of a flat surface, the soil must be
levelled exclusively in direction of digging. Never
use the bucket as a “broom or a hammer” (for dem-
olition work for instance). The working attachment is
not designed for big efforts, applied laterally; this
would cause its damage.
To increase the machine balance, position the stabi-

Use commercially available diesel fuel with less than
0.5% sulphur content. If the sulphur content is
higher, oil change intervals should be reduced. The
following fuel specifications / standards are
approved:
- DIN EN 590
- BS 2869
- ASTM D 975-96; 1-D and 2-D
- NATO Code F-54 / F-34 / F-44 and XF 63
m
Exhaust emission values which may be determined
in the case of type approval tests always refer to the
fuels prescribed by the authorities for the type
approval test.
.co
WINTER-GRADE FUEL
Waxing may occur at low temperatures, clogging the
fuel system and reducing engine efficiency. If the
ambient temperature is less than 0 °C (32 °F), win-
ter-grade fuel, suitable down to -15 °C (5 °F), should
be used; this fuel is usually available from filling sta-
tions well in advance of the cold months. Diesel fuel
es
containing additives (Super diesel) is often on sale
as well, for use down to -20 °C (-4 °F).
- At temperatures below -15 °C to -20 °C (5 °F to
-4 °F), petroleum should be added to the diesel
fuel. The relevant percentages are given in the
adjacent diagram.
uid
If summer-grade diesel fuel must be used at temper-

atures below 0 °C (32 °F), up to 60% petroleum can
be added (see diagram).
In most cases, adequate resistance to cold can also
be obtained by adding a fluidizing additive for winter
operation.

HYDRAULIC OIL
For the first refilling, Manufacturer uses PANOLIN
HLP SYNTH 46.
Hydraulic oil is not soluble in water; this can gener-
ate condensate water in the hydraulic oil tank.
Therefore drain condensate water periodically, par-
ticularly after a long downtime period. Dispose of
drained liquid as used oil.
VISCOSITY
Generally, multi-grade oils shall be used. In closed
heated rooms at temperatures > 5 °C (41 °F), also
single-grade oils can be used. As the viscosity of
lube oil is dependent on temperature, the choice of
SAE grade should be governed by the ambient tem-
perature prevailing at the engine operating site.
Optimum operating behaviour will be attained if you
take the accompanying oil viscosity diagram as a
guide. Should the temperature fall temporarily below
the limits of the SAE grade selected, cold starting
may be affected but the engine will not be damaged.
The application of a certain oil at higher tempera-
tures than those indicated in the chart, should be as
far as possible limited, in order to keep wear to a
minimum.
Synthetic lube oils feature an improved temperature
and oxidation stability.

SECTION 4
BIODEGRADABLE HYDRAULIC OIL

The hydraulic system of this machine can be filled at
with environmentally compatible, biodegradable
hydraulic fluid too (special equipment). Stickers with
corresponding instructions are then attached to the
machine.
This biodegradable hydraulic fluid “PANOLIN HLP
SYNTH 46” has been tested by the Manufacturer
and approved for application on the machines.
The biodegradable oil must be analyzed every 500
hours of work, to verify that it keeps its features.
With special tools (the hydraulic hammer for
instance) the analysis should be performed every
250 working hours.
Oil can be drawn for analysis by means of the sam-
ple-kit and the relevant instruction delivered by the
Dealer.
The sample should then be sent by the customer to
PANOLIN AG., that will carry out the necessary
checks. The Dealer will care to inform the customer
in case the oil has lost the necessary features for
use.
NOTE: should the Dealer inform the customer that
oil has exceeded the service limits, this must be
replaced. If this indication is not observed, the war-
ranty may become void and null and the machine
may get damaged.
A change from mineral hydraulic oil to this biode-
gradable hydraulic fluid can be performed at a later
date. Environmentally compatible biodegradable
hydraulic fluid must not be simply poured away as
normal waste. It must be disposed of in the same
way as any used oil!
If hydraulic fluid seeps into the ground, the machine
Owner and the Competent Authorities must be
informed. The use of PANOLIN HLP SYNTH 46 is
restricted only to hydraulic systems.
Do not mix this hydraulic liquid with oils of other
makes; this kind of mixture will decrease the oil bio-
degradability.

ENGINE OIL - LEVEL

Park the machine on a level surface and protect the
same against inadvertent movements.
Shut off the engine and wait for about five minutes
before checking the oil level. This down-time allows
the oil to flow into the oil sump.
Open the engine hood.
Remove the oil dipstick (1).
Wipe dipstick (1) clean with a lint-free cloth and rein-
sert.
Pull out again the oil dipstick (1).
If the oil level is close to or under the “min” mark,
perform the top up (2). 9
Top up oil until you reach the notch “max”.

NOTE: the oil level must always be above the notch
“min” and under the notch “max”.
HYDRAULIC OIL TANK - LEVEL
S WARNING S
Before starting to work on the hydraulic system,
make sure that this is not under pressure and
relieve any residual pressure from it.
Never let hydraulic oil to come in contact with the
skin. The skin contact with hydraulic oils is harmful
to health.
Park the machine on a flat surface and place the

working equipment on the ground.
Engage the parking brake. Shut off the engine.
Relieve the pressure from the hydraulic system by
moving both hydraulic control levers repeatedly until
the hydraulic cylinders do not react to controls.
Check that the oil level is above the “min” notch of
the dipstick (1) inside of hydraulic oil tank (2).
If this is not the case, top up the hydraulic oil.
No matter what the position of the working attach-
ment is, the oil level must always be between the 10
notches “min” and “max”.
4-13
SECTION 4
HYDRAULIC OIL TOP UP

The hydraulic oil tank is slightly under pressure at
about 0.3 bar (4 psi).
As mentioned previously, before performing any top
up of the hydraulic oil, it is important to relieve the
residual pressure inside of the hydraulic system.
11
Unscrew the screws (1) paying attention to cover (2)
that is under the spring (4) pre-load.
Reassemble the cover (2) with the spring (4) and
the gasket (3).
In the filter housing can now be seen the return filter
(5).
The top up has to be performed by letting the oil flow
though this filter, until the oil level sets between ref-
erences “min” and “max” of dipstick.
Before replacing the cover (2), check the gasket (3).
If this is damaged, replace it.
Reassemble the cover (2) with the gasket (3) and 12
the spring (4).
4-14
FUEL TANK - LEVEL

Use commercial-grade diesel fuels with a sulphur
content of less than 0.5%.
The following fuel specifications are approved:
- DIN EN 590
- BS 2869
- ASTM D 975-96; 1-D and 2-D
The quantity of Cetane (CZ) inside of fuel should not
be lower than 49.
S WARNING S
Do not smoke and do not use open flames.
Diesel fuel may be harmful to the skin, wear protec-
tive gloves or use a barrier cream.
Never take off the cap or refuel when the engine is
running. While you refuel keep the control of refuel-
ling gun.
Before refuelling, clean the seat of the filler neck to
avoid the introduction of foreign bodies in the tank.
After refuelling, retighten the cap firmly.
Do not spill fuel and do not let it penetrate into the
ground: environmental pollution hazard.
Soak up spilt fuel immediately with rags or binding
agents, then discard without polluting the environ-
ment.
Report accidents involving fuels without delay to
the machine owner or his agent.
LEVEL CHECK
The fuel level must be checked with the multi-func-
tion display.
At the screen side, column (1) is always showing the
fuel quantity contained in the machine.
Indication above the cross line = level OK.
Indication under the cross line = top up fuel. 500 HOURS

SECTION 4
FUEL TOP UP AND REFUELLING

If the machine is refuelled often or regularly with fuel
from cans or barrels, there is an increased risk of
foreign matter and water penetrating into the fuel
system.
In this case:
- always refuel through a fine mesh filter;
- user only intake hoses with a fine mesh filter;
- bleed water and sludge from the fuel tank at more
frequent intervals;
- change all fuel filters at more frequent intervals.
Refuel with following operations:
- open the filler cap cover (1);
- refuel through the filler neck filter (2). Do not
remove the filter.

COOLING SYSTEM LIQUID - LEVEL
S WARNING S
The plug of the cooling system has to be
unscrewed at engine shut off and cold.
Never refill with cold liquid while the engine is still
hot. The abrupt temperature change could damage
the engine components. Let the temperature inside
of the engine lower under 50 °C (122 °F) before fill-
ing the system with coolant.
If the cooling system is leaking, do not mix sealing
additives to the coolant. These could in fact clog
m
the cooling system. In such a case the coolant
delivery could cause a engine overheating.
The coolant level has to be checked daily, so as to

detect in time liquid leaks and to avoid damages.
.co
Shut off the engine and wait until the engine and the
cooling system reach 50 °C (122 °F).
Open the engine compartment cover.
The coolant level must be between notches “min”
and “max” of the surge tank (1). If necessary, top up
the coolant.
es
To perform this operation, open with caution the cap
(2) of the surge tank of about half of a turn, to allow
the pressure to relieve from the cooling system.
Only after pressure relief you can unscrew com-
pletely the cap and top up the coolant.
uid
Retighten the cap.

Close the engine compartment cover.
-g

all
4-17
SECTION 4
COOLANT TOP UP
The coolant must consists in a mixture of 50% of
distilled water and 50% of antifreeze.
This mixture offers not only a antifreeze protection
up to -30 / -35 °C (-22 °F / -31 °F), but it protects
also the cooling and heating system from corrosion.
It prevents also the formation of limestone and
increases the boiling point of the cooling system.
Because of this, even during hot season and in hot
countries, coolant has not to be diluted with water.
NOTE: the additive quantity to be added to coolant
should be about 50%.
If for climate reasons a strong antifreeze is required
(for instance in Sweden, Norway, Finland), the anti-
freeze rate can be increases, but only up to 60%
(protection until about -40 °C (-40 °F)).
Otherwise, the antifreeze protection decreases and
the cooling effect gets worse (less radiating effect).
Before performing any top up or additive change,
ask the After-sales Service about the specifications
of the required additive allowed for your machine.
First of all mix the components in a clean container
and then pour the mixture into the cooling system. If
the mixture components are poured into the cooling
system one after the other, it is not possible to
obtain the correct mixture ratio. There is also the
possibility that components do not mix together in
the correct way.
NOTE: do not use not authorized additives. The cor-
rosion produced by this improper use, can cause
leaks in the cooling system and serious damages to
the engine.
COOLANT LEAKS
Leaks of coolant leads to suspect, first of all, to the
lack of tightness. In such a case, have the cooling
system immediately checked by the After-sales
service. The only coolant top up is not sufficient.
If the system is correctly tight, leaks may be found
only if the coolant overheats and boils and because
of this it is ejected out of the system under pressure.
4-18
SCREEN WASHER LIQUID - LEVEL

The operation logic and mode of the liquid container
have been optimized, because the same has been
incorporated in the panel behind the operator’s seat.
The panel is used at the same time as supporting
surface for operator’s tools and personal objects.
The liquid container can also be filled outside of the
cab by unscrewing cap (1).
Fill the liquid container only with clean drink water, if
not the windscreen washer nozzles can get clogged.
In order to obtain the best cleaning of the window
panes, you can add to water a commercial deter-
gent.
16
With cold weather, mix antifreeze to the windscreen
washer system. Observe the mixing ratio suggested
by the Manufacturer.
Remove cap (1) from the back wall of the cab.
Top up liquid up to lower edge of filler neck (2).
Re-tighten the cap (1) and check that the closure is

TYRES - PRESSURE CHECK
S CAUTION S
Before inflating the tyres, check the tyres, rims and
rim parts for damage, penetrated foreign objects
and proper fitting.
Check the tyre inflation pressure only when the
tyres are cold, as when they are warm, the pres-
sures indicated are higher than usual.
Use inflation equipment with long filling hose, self-
fixing nozzle and pressure gauge.
m
Inflate the tyres only with compressed ambient air.
Never use inflammable gases: risk of explosion!
During tyre inflation, do not stand near the tyre and
always in the plane of the tyre tread.
.co
Watch the tyre and the pressure gauge of the inflat-
ing equipment permanently during the inflation and
never exceed the prescribed tyre pressures.
If available, place a safety cage around the wheel.
Make sure that nobody is standing near the tyre
when it is being inflated.
Always inflate tyres to the prescribed pressure:
es
- excessive tyres pressure means poor handling
properties off the road and a risk of bursting tyres;
- insufficient pressure means increased wear on
the tyres and inadequate stability of the machine.
Apply the right tyre pressure for each axle and fore-
uid
seen application.
Do not keep tyres pressure lower than the values
due, so as not to overheat the tyres, because this
could cause:
- tyre breaks;
- tread damage;
-g
- inner damage;
- uneven wear and short life.
all
19
4-22
Do not overinflate the tyres, because if bumped they

can break easily and under extreme conditions the
rim can get deformed and the tyre can burst.
S CAUTION S
The tyres inflating pressure varies according to the
load applied to axles.
Park the machine on level and firm ground with suf-

ficient strength.
Place the working equipment on the ground.
Attach the self-locking nozzle of the inflating equip-
ment to the tyre filling valve (1).
The device is equipped with a pressure gauge (2),
that when connected, allows to check the pressure
value.
If the pressure results to be lower than expected,
proceed to the inflation. 20

SECTION 4
AIR INTAKE LINE - CHECK

Hoses and tubes for air intake damaged or leaking,
influence enormously the performance and life of
the engine.
Dirt or pieces of the intake air can reach the engine
and damage it heavily.
The feeding pressure created by the turbocharger
could dissipate with the consequence that the
engine does not develop its full power.
The engine must not be allowed to draw in unfiltered
air, therefore:
- check the tightness of all hoses and pipes of fil-
tered air;
29
- check that all clamps are in place and well tight;
- check that all fittings of hoses and pipes are not
rusty under the clamps. Rust could detach from
hoses and pipes and reach the engine.
Remove immediately possible damages and
replace at once the damaged components.
MULTI-COOLER - CLEANING
CAUTION
Start the cleaning operation only after the standstill
of all moving components, assemblies and after the
engine, silencer and cooler have cooled down.
Wear protective gloves and goggles before starting
to clean with compressed air.
If the machine is working in a very dusty environ-
ment, the cooler has to be cleaned more frequently
as prescribed by the service schedule.
Do not use pointed or hard tools to clean the cooler,
as for instance, metallic brushes and screwdrivers.
They could damage the cooling fins.
The cooler for the turbocharger air, is installed inside
of a hood containing draining holes for condensate.
If the holes are clogged and the condensate accu-
mulated, when it freezes, the cooler could get dam-
aged.
Check periodically, before and during the cold sea-
son, that the draining holes are free.
4-28
CLEANING
The multi-cooler contains radiating elements for the
engine coolant (3), for hydraulic oil (2) and for the
turbocharger air (1).
Open the cover on the right side of the upper struc-
ture.
Now the cooler is accessible.
Brush and suck the dirt from the radiator fins.
Resistant dirt build-ups can be removed with water
jets or compressed air jets.
The cooler has to be cleaned by directing the jets
from the top to the bottom. Remove the dirt residu-
als.
30
In case of dirt build-up, clean the hood and the
draining holes.
FUEL SYSTEM - AIR BLEEDING AND

WATER DRAINING
CAUTION
The fuel vapours are readily flammable. For this
reason, avoid any formation of sparkles and use
only protected lamps and not open flames like
lighter or matches.
If you are to work on the fuel system:
- shut off the engine and the additional heating
fault;
- place the machine in a safe condition.
Fuels can be harmful for health:
- do not swallow;
- avoid long contact with the skin;
- do not inhale vapours;
- wear a protective mask and gloves.
Collect escaping fuel and discard without polluting
the environment.
Discard the fuel filters and the rags soaked with fuel
in the prescribed way for polluting waste.
4-29
SECTION 4
AIR BLEEDING
When components on the fuel delivery line are
replaced, the air bleeding from the system is per-
formed automatically.
When the fuel line under high pressure is disassem-
bled or replaced, the air bleeding is not required for
engine start-up. The fuel pump during start-up gen-
erates high pressure inside of fuel and discharges
the air through the injectors at high pressure side.
31
If such an amount of air, plenty exceeding the aver-
age required, should penetrate into the system,
bleed the fuel system immediately.
Loosen the delivery line on the injection pump (1).
Activate repeatedly lever (2) on the delivery pump,
until air is completely bleeded from the system.
Once the air has been completely relieved, connect
the fitting again. The fuel pump is activated by the
camshaft of the engine block at the side directed
towards the cab. The fuel pump is accessible
through the rear cover of the panelling right.
If air bubbles are still noticed for several minutes, air
is penetrating into the system. Because of breaks or 32
pores in the welding link, fastening the hose to the
connector, air can penetrate into the fuel system.
Check for the presence of leaks on all hoses and
connections, as well as on the fuel filter.
An injector jammed to open position, can generate
the return of exhaust gas to the pump, and the pres-
ence of too much air into the system. Start the
engine and check the hoses. If exhaust gas returns
through the hoses, the injector is still open or
jammed.
4-30
WATER AND SLUDGE BLEEDING

Dirt and water settle on the bottom of the fuel tank.
This happens especially when the machine refuel-
ling is often or periodically performed with fuel
stored into cans or barrels, or when the machine is
employed in areas with strong thermal differences
between day and night. In such a case there is the
formation of condensate, in particular when the tank
is not completely full. With temperatures lower than
0 °C (32 °F), the condensate freezes and the drain-
ing, through the threaded cap (1), is impossible.
Because of this, bleed water and sludge at the end
of the work-shift and then refuel the tank.
Remove the base-plate for maintenance below the 33
fuel tank.
Now the drain sleeve is accessible.
Place a collecting container below the tank drain
plug (1).
With caution unscrew the drain plug (1) under the
fuel tank and drain water and sludge. Retighten the
drain plug. Reinstall the maintenance base-plate.

SECTION 4
FUEL FILTER/S - WATER DRAINING
S WARNING S
Water contained in the fuel can corrode, damage or
wear the engine injection system.
NOTE: the WX 145 excavator is equipped with fuel

filter. The WX 165 and WX 185 excavators are
equipped with two fuel filters.
The fuel filters have the aim to filter impurities and to
separate the water contained in the fuel. The fuel fil-
ters are equipped with a preheating device and with
m
a water sensor.
The fuel filters are installed inside of the engine
compartment, in front of the engine and are accessi-
ble through the rear right cover.
.co
A sensor (1) is fastened on the draining valve (2) of
the filters (3), this sensor activates the yellow lamp
(5) on the multi-function display, when the presence
of water is detected inside of the fuel filter separator.

CHARGE
Top up / recharge
When the charge is performed with low current
intensity (top up charge with small battery charger) it
is not necessary to detach the connection cables of
the on board net. Respect anyway the prescriptions
of the Manufacturer of the battery charger. If the bat-
teries are not installed, use a battery charger with a
charging voltage of 24 V (batteries are serial con-
nected).
To recharge the battery, do not exceed the maxi-
mum charge current of 10% of the battery rated
capacity.
Recharge time maximum 30 hours, in case of bat-
tery completely flat.

Before performing the quick recharge, that is, a
recharge with high density voltage, disconnect both
connecting cables and disassemble the batteries.
Before performing the battery charge, unscrew the
plugs to allow the release of gas from all battery
cells.
A flat battery can freeze already at -10 °C (14 °F). If
the battery is frozen, it must absolutely be defrosted
before quick recharge; otherwise it could explode.
The battery charger net cable has to be plugged-in
to the electric socket, only after the battery charger
clamps have been correctly connected to the battery
poles.

case of dirt build-ups, disassemble it and clean it
with steam jets.
4-54
Check that the spring seat, the belt tensioner and

the cranckase are one above the other. If they are
remarkably spaced or tilted one against the other,
the belt tensioner has to be replaced.
Check for signs that the tensioner bracket touches
the spring seat. If they touch each other, this means
that the bracket bushing is faulty and that the belt
tensioner has to be changed.
A worn belt tensioner, showing some backlash, or a
belt slipping from the pulley, indicate the possibility
of a wrong pulley alignment.
The maximum allowable pulley alignment is of 3°.
The measurement can be performed by means of a
blade scale and a goniometer.

HYDRAULIC SYSTEM BLEEDING VALVE

- CHANGE
The air bleeding and sucking valve (1) ensures this
operation inside of the hydraulic oil tank (2), so as to
compensate the hydraulic oil level floating.
This valve maintains a pressure of about 0.3 bar
(4 psi) inside of the tank.
The valve (1) contains a filter element (4), that can-
not neither be cleaned nor replaced. This is the rea-
son why the valve has to be replaced completely.
The filter head is connected to the lower side, so as
to be free to turn. In this way, you avoid that the
valve is removed without authorization.
74
To unscrew the valve, insert laterally the locking pin
(3), that is delivered with the new valve. Now the old
valve has to be unscrewed with great care (the pres-
sure inside of the hydraulic oil tank is released).
Insert the locking pin (3) inside of the new valve and
tighten the valve manually.
Take out the locking pin and store it (for instance in
the keys bunch) for a future use.

SECTION 4
SERVICE BRAKE - AIR BLEEDING

The braking system of this machine consists of two
braking circuits. One circuit is designed for the pair
of wheels of the steering axle, while the other circuit
is designed for the pair of wheels of the rigid axle.
If works have been performed on the braking sys-
tem, causing the penetration of air inside of the sys-
tem, for instance during a hose replacement, once
these works have been completed, bleed the air
from the concerned circuit.
Secure the machine so that it cannot move acciden-
tally.
Link a hose on the connection (1) of a multi-plate
brake.
Connect the other end of the hose with a container,
previously filled with hydraulic oil.
Start the engine.
Depress the pedal and hold, until hydraulic oil, flows
out from the hose without air bubbles.
Repeat this operation also with the other brake of
the same axle. In this way air is bleeded from one
braking circuit. 113
STEERING ADJUSTMENT
To ensure the correct travel and steering operation,
the steering stop has to be adjusted according to
machine type. According to the axle and tyres type,
also the steering stop changes.
At each axle or tyres change, adjust correctly the
steering stop and keep it constantly under control.
Through the axle joint rotation (4), the steering force
are transferred to the wheel, which on its turn, is
steered by the stub axle. The steering stop is limited
by a spacer (1), fastened to the joint by means of a
screw (2) and a thrust stop (3), placed on the axle
body. In this way the steering wheels can turn safely
without coming in touch with other elements, even
when they are completely steered and the axle is
fully inclined.

Unscrew the plugs (2) on both cylinders.
Push the pistons down, until they lean on the thrust
block of the axle.
Fill both cylinders with hydraulic oil and retighten the
plugs (2).
Unscrew both breather screws (1) and fill the ports
with hydraulic oil. 115
Screw up the breather screws (1) without tightening
them.
Start the engine and release the brake.
Disconnect the floating axle lock by depressing
push-button (3), the lamp and the symbol turn off.
When the flowing out oil is without air bubbles,
tighten the bleeding screws (1).

SECTION 4
FUSES - REPLACEMENT
Shut off the engine and turn the ignition key to posi-
tion “0”, before removing the fuses.
Replace faulty fuses only with fuses of the same
amperages.
The fuses are placed in two fuse boxes (A) and (B):
a box (A) under the seat on the left side and the
other (B) on the right side of the cabin under the
control panel.
Remove the transparent cover (2) of the fuse holder,
after prior removal of the two side clamps (1).
Now you can have access to fuses.
117
118
If an electric control does not react, check the rele-
vant fuse as first thing.
Take out the fuse from the fuse holder. A suitable YES NO
tool for this operation is located in the fuse box.
Check the fuse. Nearly always it is possible to check
visually if a fuse is burnt out. In case of doubt, check
with an Ohmeter or replace the burnt fuse with a
new one.
If the fuse is burn out, fit in the fuse holder another
fuse with the same amperage.
If the fuse is still intact, check the relevant electric
unit, the connectors and cables.

BULBS - REPLACEMENT
Burnt bulbs have to be replaced with bulbs of same
power.
Before installing a new bulb, remove all traces of
corrosion from the holder and the electrical con-
tacts.
This helps avoid contact problems and high contact
resistances.
Never touch new bulbs with bare fingers. Finger
marks and dirt will burn in when the bulb is hot and
may reduce the service life of the bulb.
Because of this, wrap a clean rag or a piece of the
packing around the bulb and fit the same into the
bulb holder.

CLAMSHELL - WEAR CHECK

When the normal wear of the clamshell blades and
end stroke stops exceeds the allowed value, the
clamshell cylinder may get damaged. In such a case
the allowed cylinder stroke is exceeded; cylinder
piston and liner bump one against the other at
stroke end.
To verify the wear status on clamshells for trenches,
reference marks are applied in the factory:
- on the guide rod (1) by means of a punch;
- on the cylinder rod (2) by means of a tool.
Repair the bucket prior that the cylinder rod (2)
aligns with one of the marks on the guide rod (1).
The lower mark indicates the clamshell blades wear,
while the upper mark indicates the wear of the end
stroke stops of the clamshell clams.

HYDRAULIC HAMMER
HYDRAULIC HAMMER SELECTION

If a hydraulic hammer has to be fitted on the exca-
vator, it is important to choose a model satisfying the
stability, pressure and oil quantity requirements of
the excavator hydraulic system.
S CAUTION S
For the selection of the hydraulic hammer type
most suitable to the machine features, address to
Dealer as well as for the adjustment of power sup-
ply and service pressure required by the selected
tool.
1
SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
The hazard zone of the hydraulic hammer must be
kept clear of all persons.
Risk of flying rock fragments.
Therefore, stop work as soon as any persons enter
the hazard zone of the hammer or the machine.
Resume the work only when bystanders have left
the working area.
Close the front window of the machine before start-
ing up the hammer.
Install the protective grating.
Wear ear protectors.
Operate the hammer from the operator’s seat only.
Avoid to strike objects violently with the hydraulic
hammer, being heavier than the bucket it lowers
faster with the hazard of being damaged or to dam-
age the attachment and the upper structure. NO
Before activating the hammer always lower it slowly
until the tip of the chisel touches the object to strike.
Do not use the hydraulic hammer and/or the slewing
action, to move objects because this could damage
the working attachment.
7-1
SECTION 7
Avoid working with excavator cylinders completely

extended (fully extended or fully retracted) so as not
to damage the attachment structure or the same cyl-
inders.
Stop working if hydraulic hoses are bent abnormally.
Do not operate the hydraulic hammer in water. This
use may originate rust or damage seals and compo- NO
nents of the hydraulic system.
Do not use the hydraulic hammer for lifting of mov-
ing objects; the excavator may overturn and/or the
hydraulic hammer could get damaged.
While working with the excavator pay attention not
to strike the boom with the hydraulic hammer.
Do not use the hydraulic hammer when the dipper is
positioned vertically; excessive vibrations to dipper
cylinder may generate oil leaks.
3
Position the hydraulic hammer with the chisel placed
vertically on the material to be struck.
The hammer should not be operated longer that one
minute, because the chisel could wear down.
If the material is not broken after one minute, posi-
tion the chisel on different spots of the material run-
ning the hammer not longer than one minute on
each spot.
OK NO
4
Do not lift the front side of the undercarriage by
pushing with the hydraulic hammer downward: the
front attachment could get damaged. Although a lift-
ing of 150 mm (5.90 in) of the front edge can be tol-
erated, perform this operation only if strictly
necessary.
Never exceed the 150 mm (5.90 in) of tolerance.

Operate the shears from the operator’s seat only.
Never support the machine weight by prying on the
hydraulic shears and the cylinders completely
extended or retracted because this could damage
the front attachment. In particular, with shears cylin-
der completely extended, the front attachment can
get damaged more easily.
13
7-8
ATTACHMENTS
The hydraulic shears must be used with front attach-

ment oriented towards the longitudinal position of
the excavator. The use of other orientations could
impair machine stability and originate risks of over-
turning.
When you work with the hydraulic shears oriented
upwards and the boom extended pay attention to
the fall of debris.
When you work with the hydraulic shears on a build-
ing floor, always check that the floor is strong
enough to support the shears weight summed to the
machine weight.
m
The excavator must always work on levelled and 14
stable soil. Never work on material debris or inclined
surfaces.
Never use the shears to transfer or move demol-
.co
ished material.
Always disassemble the shears from the excavator
before beginning the transport.

The quick coupler modifies the machine operating
range. In particular positions the attachment can hit
the machine, therefore it has to be operated always
at a certain safety distance.
The loads handling must always be performed in
strict conformity with the instructions given in this

CRANING HOOK
SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
The machine can be used to carry loads only if
equipped and approved for this task.
The machine must be equipped with overload warn-
ing system and pipe break protection valves.
Before starting the work, activate the overload warn-
ing system.
During the lifting or transfer of a load, the personnel
must stay or walk near the machine in such a way to
be off the danger area.
The operator must keep visual contact with other
persons in the working area.
Use only tested and efficient lifting gear with an ade-
quate load capacity.
During transfer do not hang a load over a person but
transfer the same by keeping it as close as possible
to the ground to avoid its swinging.
The machine must never be driven with a slung load
unless the road surface is even and the roadway is
clearly visible. The visibility in the passage area can
be improved, by shifting the boom and by turning
the upper structure to the right. Once the upper
structure is turned, block the floating axle.
If the craning hook is installed on the bucket link pay
particular attention to following: the bucket link com-
ponents must be connected with a safety pin, if an
attachment other than the standard bucket is
installed (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. In this case the
bucket link and the hanging load start suddenly to
swing.
USE OF THE CRANING HOOK

In order to use the standard bucket with craning
function, standard buckets and bucket links with
craning hook welded are available (optional).
LOAD CARRYING CAPACITY OF HOOK

The maximum load carrying capacity of the craning
hook is indicated on the same hook (1) and (2).

OVERLOAD WARNING SYSTEM
S WARNING S
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
in the lifting cylinders of the working equipment.
During these operations the overload warning sys- OVERLOAD!
tem must be activated.
When the admissible load moment is exceeded, the
red warning lamp (1) lights up. The buzzer sounds
at the same time. The display shows the “overload”
symbol (2) and the OVERLOAD text (3).
The admissible load moment is exceeded if too
heavy a load is to be lifted with the working radius of
the equipment being too great. 53
SETTING THE OVERLOAD WARNING SYSTEM

INTO OPERATION
The overload working system can be used option-
ally in two different operation modes:
Press button (1) once, the left lamp (2) lights up
when the machine is used as a crane, without stabi-
lizers.
Press button (1) twice, the right lamp (3) lights up
when the machine is used as a crane, with stabiliz-
ers (stabilizers/blade).
Before using the machine for lifting operations, acti-
vate the overload warning system:
With button (1) set the overload warning system to
required operation mode.
The button lamp lights up. 54
Check that the overload warning system works cor-

rectly.

SECTION 7
MALFUNCTIONING OF THE OVERLOAD

WARNING SYSTEM
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.

OVERLOAD WARNING SYSTEM CHECK

The overload warning system has to be ckecked:
- every day before beginning the work;
- every time before using the machine for lifting.
Raise the boom to the highest position and move OVERLOAD!
against block.
Warning lamp (1) lights up and an acoustic warning
is sounded. The display shows the “overload” sym-
bol (2) and the relevant text (3).
If a fault occurs, have the overload warning system
checked and repaired immediately by our Service
Department.
56
OVERLOAD WARNING SYSTEM DEACTIVATION
If the machine has to be used exclusively for digging
and not for craning, the overload warning system
can be deactivated.
Depress repeatedly button (1) until lamps (2) and (3)
turn off.
Now the overload warning system is deactivated.
57

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” control is activated.
Also the upper and dipper cylinders can be
equipped with pipe break protection valves.
If an hydraulic pipe breaks:
Set hydraulic control lever for “Boom lowering”, or
the pedal for “Boom lowering” to idle position.
Alert people nearby with the horn.
The working attachment area with lifted load has to
be ensured so as nobody can stay under the work-
ing attachment or under the load or in proximity of
the hydraulic hose broken.
When the working attachment and the load are low-
ered to the ground, oil comes out from the broken
spot of the pipe.
Place the working equipment and the load carefully
on the ground.
Replace the broken hydraulic hose.
Only after replacement, resume the work.
Escaping hydraulic oil and possible rags have to be
discarded without polluting the environment.

FUEL TRANSFER PUMP
S DANGER S
Fuel and its steams are easy flammable and can
generate explosions. For this reason refuel by
keeping far from open flames, cigarettes, alight
matches, particularly hot areas and sparkles gener-
ating areas.
S DANGER S
Fuels can be harmful for health. They must not be
swallowed. Avoid long contact with the skin.
If the machine is refuelled often or regularly with fuel

from cans or barrels, there is an increased risk of 61
foreign matter and water getting into the fuel sys-
tem.
In this case:
- always refuel through a fine mesh filter;
- user only intake hoses with a fine mesh filter;
- drain off water from the fuel filter more often than
specified in the maintenance schedule.
NOTE: refuel only with decanted fuel. We suggest
to refuel at the end of each working day, condensa-
tion will so be avoided during overnight down-time.
Do not let the tank run out of fuel because air could
penetrate inside of the supply circuit and would
require the air bleeding.
By means of the refuelling system, fuel can be
pumped from a large spare container into the
machine tank.
The refuelling system is installed on the left side of
the machine, close to the fuel tank.
The refuelling system consists of: the intake hose,
the electric pump and the tank filling hose.
The intake tube is winded and stored in the tools
compartment. The filling hose (5) remains con-
nected to the pump and fuel tank.
S WARNING S
Before refuelling, the tank cap must be opened to
avoid overpressure in the tank and risks of danger-
ous fuel leaks.
7-36
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.
62
The pump deactivates by means of red button (4) on
the same pump.
The pump disconnects automatically when the fuel
tank is full.
If the pump runs dry for a long time, it could get
damaged or broken.
For this reason insert the pump only when you need
to refuel.

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.
NOTE: usually the FOPS protection (1) can be sup-
plied either alone or coupled with the FGPS protec-
tion (2).

CENTRALIZED LUBRICATION
SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
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.
m
Danger of injuries caused by the escape of fuel
under high pressure.
An improper treatment can cause damages due to
the lack or excess of lubrication on bearings and
articulation points.
.co
Modifications or application of the system have to 67
be carried out only after agreement and Manufac-
turer approval.
OPERATION
es
OPERATION VISUAL CHECK
The distribution manifolds can be equipped with
checking plug (1). The checking plug is connected
to a little piston inside of the distribution manifold

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.
S WARNING S
The Manufacturer is not liable for damages to the
centralized lubrication system, caused by chemical
or biological alterations of the lubricant used, or by
grease not allowed or to be used only in a limited
way.
During the handling of grease care for maximum
cleanliness. The dirt inside of grease remains sus-
pended and cannot settle. This creates problems to
the system and as a consequence also damages to
the articulation points.
Lubricants with solid residuals higher than 3% can-
not be used for the centralized lubrication system.
TANK PUMP
The tank pump (1) is secured behind the cab and is
accessible through the left side door. The lubrication
processes are handled according to the machine
service hours. When the ignition key is set to “I”, the
centralized lubrication system activates and lamp
(2) lights up.
A lubrication cycle consists of a down-time and a
work time. The lubrication system is repeated con-
tinuously after machine start. During the working
time, the tank pump delivers lubricant to the different
points to be lubricated, flowing through the distribu-
tion manifolds.
69
The down-time defines the frequency of the lubrica-
tion periods inside of the operation time. The work-
ing time defines the quantity of lubricant delivered. A
longer working time means an higher quantity of
lubricant, a shorter working time means a lower
quantity of lubricant. When the machine is shut off,
the down-times and working times already passed
are summarized and memorized on an unlimited
time. When the ignition cylinder is activated again,
the control restarts from the point of disconnection.
70
7-40
ATTACHMENTS
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). Each one of them must be set on
15 different levels.
IMPORTANT: in the work is set a down-time of 3
hours [position 3 of selector (3)] and a working time
of 6 minutes [position 3 of selector (2)]. The down-
times and working times can be modified and reset
from the After-sales service or by an authorized
workshop.
71
After resetting and checking the down-time and
working time, replace and tighten the closing cover
(1).
72
OPERATION TEST
Turn the ignition key to position “I”.
As soon as the control board of the tank pump
receives voltage, lamp (3) lights up.
Hold button (4) of control board depressed, so that
lamp (2) remains alight over 2 seconds.
During this operation the down-time shortens. Now
a normal lubrication process takes place.
At any time additional lubrications can be per-
formed. The grease coming out from the lubrication
points has to be collected and discarded according
to environmental legislation.
