The machine must be submitted to a general


inspection according to the regulations in force in the
user's country (e.g. Accident Prevention Regulations
in Germany); this inspection must be carried out by an
expert (e.g. machine engineer or machine foreman):
– before the machine is put into operation for the first
time and before the machine is again put into
operation after essential modifications have been
made
– at least once a year
– in the meantime, according to operating conditions
and local environments

The results of this inspection have to be recorded in


writing and this record kept until the next inspection
takes place.

Prior to every work shift, the machine operator must


check the earth-moving machine according to the
inspection and maintenance plan.

• If you are not familiar with the operator controls


and display elements of this machine, read this
Chapter carefully before operating the machine.

This Chapter deals with all functions.


• Before driving and working with the machine it is
necessary to thoroughly familiarize yourself with
the display elements and operator controls.
• Each time before putting the machine into
operation it must be subjected to a thorough visual
inspection. Ensure that there is no damage, loose
or missing screws, oil accumulations, oil or fuel
leakage. Shortcomings must be remedied
immediately. In the event of shortcomings which
jeopardize the operating safety, the machine must
not be put into operation until these have been
eliminated.

into consideration!

Use a rope (min. Ø 8 mm) to increase the track width,


and a squared timber (min. 8/8 cm) to reduce it.

Extending the track width manually (Fig. 17)


• Slacken both tightening bolts (17/1) of the side to

4.9 Operations with rubber crawler
chains

Attention
This crawler excavator can be equipped with
either steel or rubber crawler chains.
If the excavator is equipped with rubber
crawler chains, work on paved roads, within
buildings, etc. can be performed without
damaging the road ways.

When using rubber crawlers, the following points


have to be observed:
– The rubber crawler chain must have the correct
tension. Incorrect crawler chain tension is
detrimental to travel performance and adds to the
wear of the crawler chain.
– Do not drive or turn over sharp edges or stairs
since the crawler chain is stressed only on special
points (20/A) and fissuring or cracking of the
rubber and the steel insert may occur.
– Prevent stones and other substances from getting A
into the crawler chain as they may cause the
crawler chain to be extended or damaged.
– Do not undertake any sharp turns on surfaces with
a high friction resistance such as rough concrete.
– Avoid that the rubber crawler chain is
contaminated by fuel or oil and clean immediately
if this has occurred.
– When working on salt water beaches, the rubber
crawler chains must be thoroughly cleaned every
day using clean water. The steel insert in the A
rubber crawler chains may be damaged due to
corrosion.

which the following description is based.

There is the option to fit the excavator with a


switchable control system for the work equipment.
Switching is accomplished by operating the lever
(22/12).

Danger to life

5.2 Changing work attachments

Various work attachments are available to achieve


maximum utilization of the machine for a variety of
applications.

The machine may be equipped with a quick-attach


system to shorten the time it would take to install
attachments.

Attention
Under special circumstances it is possible to
use the work attachments of predecessor
models for our machines. When mounting the
work attachments of predecessor models
they may have to be adjusted and/or may be
subject to utilization restrictions.
• It is essential to consult your dealer before
mounting such a work attachment.

Danger of injury
due to attachments tilting and overturning.
• If work attachments are not used, they
must be secured with wedges or similar.

Care and Maintenance 7

7 Care and Maintenance

The good operating condition and life expectancy of


machines are largely influenced by care and
maintenance.

For this reason, it is in every machine owner’s interest


to perform the specified maintenance work and
comply with the service intervals. This Chapter deals
in detail with periodic maintenance, inspection and
lubricating tasks.
The type-specific maintenance and inspection plan
lists all work to be performed on the machine at
regular intervals. Maintenance and inspection plans
for this purpose are contained in every Instruction
Book.

It is essential that the recommendations in the


Chapter "Safety and Prevention of Accidents" are
observed (è 2, 11).

7.1 Intervals

7 Care and Maintenance
7.2 Regular oil analyses

Oil analyses are not intended as a substitute for the


oil change intervals but – apart from a possible
reduction of maintenance costs and as a form of
preventive maintenance – they take into account the
increasing environmental awareness.

Advantages of an oil analysis


– Extension of the oil change intervals under
standard or light-duty operating conditions.
– Minimum wear of high-quality components with
optimum use of the lubricants.
– Periodic laboratory analyses enable an early
detection of imminent damage.
– Repairs performed before they actually become
absolutely necessary help prevent serious and
unexpected damage.
– Sequential damage can be avoided.

How often should the oil be analyzed?

Periodic oil analyses reveal trends in the condition of


the oil and the machine. The oils should be analyzed
at the following intervals:
– Hydraulic oil: 1000 operating hours
– Transmission oil: 500 operating hours
– Engine oil: 100 operating hours
Based on the first results, the laboratory recommends
the interval for the next sampling. Ask your
TEREX | Schaeff dealer for an information booklet
detailing the scope and procedures of the oil analysis.

7.3 Warranty

During the warranty period thorough inspections are


stipulated which are obligatory and must be carried
out by trained specialist dealer personnel.

Attention
The inspections are obligatory and must be
paid for. The performance of inspections as
specified must be confirmed on the
inspection cards in the warranty/handing-
over certificate.
If omitted, this may affect the warranty
covered by us.

Lubricants
– The machine’s life expectancy and operating
condition largely depend on the use of the
specified lubricants and compliance with the
service intervals.
– If lubricants which do not conform to our
recommendations are used, consequential
damage may occur for which we will not assume
liability, even inside the warranty period.
– Observe the specifications for fuels, lubricants,
and coolants (è 3.6, 26).

Main relief valves wrongly adjusted. Check main relief valves and replace if required.
Faults in the electrical system
Outside and/or internal lighting without function. Check cables, connections, bulbs, and fuses.
Windshield wiper not working. Check cables, connections, and fuses. Examine windshield wiper for
mechanical damage, replace if necessary.
Windshield washer system not working. Check water level. Check cables, connections and fuse.
Check water pump and water pipes and replace if necessary.
Horn not responding. Check cables, connections and fuses, replace horn if necessary.
Warning/indicating elements are imprecise. Determine the fault or source of the problem and eliminate it, call
service personnel if necessary.
