Preface

Maintenance Intervals

Use the service hour meter to determine


servicing intervals. Calendar intervals shown
(daily, weekly, monthly, etc) can be used instead
of service hour meter intervals if they provide
more convenient servicing schedules and
approximate the indicated service hour meter
reading. Recommended service should always
be performed at the interval that occurs first.
Under extremely severe, dusty or wet operating
conditions, more frequent lubrication than is
specified in the "Maintenance Intervals" may be
necessary.
Perform service on items at multiples of the
original requirement. For example, at every 500
service hours, also service those items listed
under every 250 service hours, 50 service hours
and every 8 service hours or daily.
All the information, figures, tables and
specifications are the latest product information
obtainable at the time of publication. Guangxi
LiuGong Company will reserve the right to make
change without notice.

Certified Engine Maintenance

Correct maintenance and repair methods are


essential to keeping the engine and machine
systems operating correctly. As the owner, you
are responsible for performance of required
maintenance listed in the Maintenance Manual
for this machine. It is prohibited for person
engaged in the business of repairing, servicing,
selling, leasing or trading engines or machines to
remove, alter or render inoperative any
emissions related device or element of design
installed on or in an engine or machine that is in
compliance with the regulations. Certain
elements of the machine such as exhaust
system, fuel system, electrical system, air intake
system and cooling system may be emission
related and should not be altered unless
approved by LiuGong.

Safety Information
Cautions about Machine Operation

Avoid any conditions that can lead to the


machine tipping. The machine can tip when you
work on hills, on banks and on slopes. Also, the
machine can tip when the machine goes across
ditches, hillocks or other unexpected
obstructions.

If the machine begins to slip sideways on a


slope, immediately remove the load and turn the
machine downhill.
To prevent the machine from tipping over or
damaging the attachment due to overloading,
never exceed the machines rated capacity. See
Applications and Specifications for details.

Avoid operating the machine across a slope. If


possible, run the machine in reverse when going
down the slope with a load, and run forward
when going up the slope.

Sound and Vibration

Sound

The sound performance offered for this machine


is the standard in European Union countries and
in countries that adopt the EU Directives.
A-Weighted emission sound pressure level, L at
the operator's position measured according to
work cycle procedures specified in "ISO 6396" is
78 dB(A), for the cab offered by Liugong.
The sound level outside the cab is 102 dB(A).

Vibration Level

Whole body vibrations generated by


construction machines, are to a high
degree, influenced by different factors, e.g.
working methods, ground conditions and
traveling speed selected by the operator.

This machine is equipped with an operator's


seat, which meets the criterion in standard ISO
7096. This seat is tested with the input spectral
class EM6 and has a Seat Amplitude
Transmissibility factor SEAT=0.99.
The hands and arms are exposed to a weighted
root mean square acceleration that is less than
2.5 m/s2.
The whole body is exposed to a weighted root
mean square acceleration that is less than
0.5 m/s2.
Measurements are obtained on a representative
machine using the procedures in the following
standards:

1. To ensure the safety of the machine during usage, the user must adhere to replace the parts listed in the above table
regularly due to the important of these parts in the security and fire prevention.
2. The materials of these parts will degenerate along with the passage of time, or more easy to wear, corrosion.
Moreover, it is very difficult to determine the state of these parts simply according to the regular maintenance.
Therefore, no matter what usage state they are, it is necessary to change these parts regularly in order to ensure their
performance.
3. If the parts not work properly even less than the time for replacement, they should be repaired or replaced
immediately.
4. If the pipe folder of the fixed hose has any damage, such as distortion or cracks, it should be replaced together with
the hose.
5. Please replace the O-ring, seals and other parts like these at the same time when replace the hose.
6. Please contact the designated dealer of Liugong Machinery Co., Ltd. to replace the safety key parts.

Preparing Machine for Travel


When travelling on the road or on site there are
usually local rules and safety regulations for the
machine traveling position. The Road Travelling
Position and Site Travelling Position described
on the following pages are recommendations
that should help you meet the requirements of
these regulations; Please make sure that before
travelling on the road or on site, you and your
machine comply with all the relevant local laws.
Choosing the correct travelling position will
Whether driving on the road or on site, there are depend on the type of machine you are operating
two possible travelling positions: and the type of attachment you have fitted to the
backhoe.
1. The 'tucked-in' position, i.e. the backhoe is
placed across the back of the machine, as
shown below. Backhoe Attachments

We recommend that all backhoe attachments be


removed before travelling on the road. However,
if the machine is driven on the road with
attachments fitted, then the conditions listed
under the headings Tucked-In Travel Position
and Central Protruding Travel Position should be
maintained.

Tucked-In Travel Position

1. The attachments must not cause the


maximum overall machine width to exceed
2.5m (8.2ft). If any part protrudes beyond the

4. The attachments must not protrude from the
back of the machine by more than 1 m
(3.28ft). If the attachments do protrude by
more than 1 m (3.28ft) then a rear protrusion
plate/light must be fitted. If the attachment is
removed, then the push link must be
secured.

Electrical System
Battery--Check

Park the machine on level ground. The battery is


accessed through the front grille of the machine.

Batteries give off flammable fumes which can


explode.

Batteries and battery terminals may contain


lead, do not touch batteries with your bare
hands. Always wash your hands right after
maintaining a battery. Battery Electrolyte Level--Check
Do not smoke when observing the battery
electrolyte levels.

Electrolyte is an acid and causes personal


injury if it contacts skin or eyes. If contact
occurs flush with water and seek medical
attention right away.

Raise the loader arm and engage the safety


strut or lower the lower arm to the ground.
Then apply the parking brake and stop the
engine.

Check the condition of the battery terminals. If Instructions for checking the electrical state

Wiring Harness--Check

Check the condition of all plugs and cables.


Ensure that no parts of the wiring harness have
been pinched, trapped, frayed or become loose
from its mountings. Repair any damage noted.

Electrical Switches--Check

Check the function of all switches, lights, horn,


reversing alarm, neutral start, window wipers and
washers. Repair any component that is not
working.

Compressor Belt Tension--Check

The compressor belt tension: apply (W=15N)


force in the center span of the pulleys
(compressor pulley and engine pulley). The
deflation of the belt center distance should be
A=4 1mm. See the following picture:

Replace with a new belt if the belt is not tense.


That is, the deflation of the belt center distance is
more than A=4 1mm when applying (W=15N)
force in the center span of the pulleys
