Preface
General Hazard Information
Compressed Air
● Compressed air can cause personal injury.
When using compressed air for cleaning,
wear a protective face shield, protective
clothing and protective shoes. The maximum
air pressure should not exceed
25psi(0.2Mpa).
High-pressure Fluid
WARNING: Avoid injury from high-
pressure oil. When repairing hydraulic lines,
ensure that system pressure is completely
released before beginning the repair.
Hydraulic oil under pressure striking the skin
could cause serious injury or damage.
● Use caution if you disconnect hydraulic lines
or connectors. High pressure oil that is
released can cause a hose to whip.
● Wear safety glasses and leather gloves.
Never check for a high-pressure leak with
your unprotected hand. Use a board or
cardboard when checking for leaks.
● Even a pin-hole size leak can cause serious
injury, If you are hit by spraying high-pressure
oil, see a doctor for treatment at once.
Dispose Fluid Spillage
● Care must be taken in order to ensure that
fluids are contained during performance of
inspection, maintenance, testing, adjusting
and repair of the equipment.
● Prepare to collect the fluid with suitable
containers before opening any compartment
or disassembling any component that
contains fluids.
● Obey all local regulations for disposal of
liquids.
Cautions about Accumulators
High-pressure nitrogen is contained in the
accumulators, making them dangerous articles.
Read the following requirements and pay
attention to the proper use of accumulators.
● Check accumulators before charging
nitrogen. Safe use cannot be guaranteed if
there is not a nameplate attached to the
accumulators. Never charge accumulators
that have an incomplete nameplate or that
are of an unidentified type.
● The accumulators are charged with nitrogen.
The use of oxygen, compressed air or other
flammable air in the accumulator could cause
an explosion and possible injury death and
damage to the machine.
● When charging accumulators with nitrogen,
care should be taken not to damage the
diaphragm.

● The accumulator's valve should be installed
facing vertically upward. Do not attempt to fix
accumulators by welding them.
● Do not drill any hole in the accumulator or
close a hole by welding.
● Do not weld a boss on the accumulator.
● Accumulators are high-pressure vessels and
should be repaired only by trained
specialized personnel.
● Always release pressure in the accumulator
before disposing of it.
Asbestos Danger
Breathing asbestos dust can be hazardous to
your health. Equipment and replacement parts
that ship from Liugong have no asbestos in
them. Liugong recommends the use of only
genuine factory spare parts. Observe the
following rules if you will be handling any spare
parts that contain asbestos or if you will be
handling any materials containing asbestos
fibers:
● Never use the compressed gas to clean up
asbestos. Use a wet method in order to clean
up asbestos materials. Water the area down
to clear asbestos dust.
● A vacuum cleaner that is equipped with a
high efficiency particulate air filter (HEPA)
can also be used.
● Do not grind materials that contain asbestos.
● Use exhaust opening on permanent
machining jobs.
● Obey environmental regulations for the
disposal of asbestos.
● Please shower after contact with asbestos.

Preface
Crushing and Cutting Prevention
● Wear an approved respirator if there is no
other way to control the dust.
Crushing and Cutting
Prevention
● Don't put hand, arm, or any other parts of the
body in the removable parts.
● Support equipment and attachments properly
when working beneath them. Do not depend
on hydraulic cylinders to hold the implement
up in the air. The implement can fall if a
control lever is accidentally moved, or if a
hydraulic line leaked.
● If it is necessary to remove shields in order to
perform maintenance, always install the
shields after the maintenance is performed.
● Stay clear of al rotating and moving parts.
● Keep hands and objects away from moving
fan blades. They will throw or cut any object
that contacts the moving blades.
● Do not use a kinked wire cable or a frayed
wire cable. Wear gloves when you handle
wire cable.
6
Preface
Burn Prevention
● Never attempt adjustments while the
machine is moving or the engine is running
unless otherwise specified
● Retainer pins, when struck with force, can fly
out and injure nearby persons. Make sure the
area is clear of people when driving retainer
pins. Wear protective glasses when striking a
retainer pin to avoid injury to your eyes.
● Chips or other debris can fly off objects when
struck. Make sure no one can be injured by
flying debris before striking any object.
Burn Prevention
Coolant
● At operating temperature, the engine coolant
is hot and under pressure. The radiator and
all lines to heaters or the engine contain hot
water or steam. Any contact can cause
severe burns.
● Check the coolant level only after the engine
has been stopped and the water filling cap is
cool enough to remove with your bare hand.
● Remove the cooling system water filling cap
slowly to relieve pressure.
● Coolant contains alkali that can cause
personal injury. Avoid contact with the skin、
eyes and mouth.
Oil
● Hot oil and components can cause personal
injury. Do not allow hot oil or components to
contact the skin.
● At operating temperature, the hydraulic oil
tank is hot and can be under pressure.
● Remove the hydraulic oil tank water filling
cap only after the engine has been stopped
and the water filling cap is cool enough to
remove with your bare hand.
● Remove the hydraulic oil tank oil filling cap
slowly to relieve pressure.
● Relieve all pressure in air, oil, fuel or cooling
systems before any lines, connectors or
related items are disconnected or removed.
Batteries
● Batteries give off flammable fumes which can
explode.
● Do not smoke when observing the battery
electrolyte levels.
● Electrolyte is an acid and cause personal
injury if it contacts skin or eyes.

● Always wear protective glasses and gloves
when check the batteries.
Fire &Explosion Prevention
Safety Cautions

Instruments

This instrument consists of engine oil pressure

gauge, coolant temperature gauge, voltmeter,
service hour timer and alarm unit. The alarm unit
concludes the engine oil low pressure alert, high
water temperature and oil temperature alert,
engine fault alert, neutral signal indication and
preheating signal indication (optional).

1. Engine Oil Pressure Gauge

The range of the oil pressure gauge is between 0

bar-10 bar(about 0 MPa ~1MPa), the normal
range is between 1 bar-10bar. If the engine oil
pressure is too low, the alert indicator will turn on.
If it needs to cold start the machine, preheat the
engine before starting until the pointer of the
gauge points to normal range because the oil
pressure may be lower than normal in cold
weather.
2. Voltmeter
If the pointer of the voltmeter points to green
zone, that is , above 24V, then the battery
voltage is normal.If the battery voltage is less
than 24V, then the battery voltage is lower than
normal. This may cause difficult start. If the
machine can not start, charge the battery.
When the machine is running normally, the
pointer of the voltmeter should point to green
zone, around 28V, if the voltage is higher or
lower than normal value, check for error before
running the machine.

running normally. If the temperature is too high,
the alert indicator will turn on. Then reduce the
engine rotating speed to let the pointer return to
normal range. Stop the machine to check the
coolant temperature if it is necessary.

4. Oil Temperature Gauge

This gauge is used to indicate the oil

temperature of toruqe converter. Its range is
between 50 ℃ ~120 ℃ . If the temperature is too
high, the alert indicator will turn on. Then reduce
the work load to let the pointer return to normal
range.

Reverse or replace the end bits and cutting
edges before it is worn out to the blade end. If
both sides of the cutting edge are worn, then
replace the cutting edge.
(1) Raise the blade to a proper height and applly
a block to the frame so as to prevent fall of
the blade.
(2) Remove the end bits and cutting edge and
clean the contact surface.
(3) Replace new end bits and reverse the cutting
edge (or replace with new one). Tighten it to
627 土 78N·m(64 士 8kgm) . Operate it for
serveral hours then tighten the nut.
Adjustment of Other Components
1. Steereing brake
(1) Inspection
If the brake disc is worn, the brake pedal stroke
will increase, which will bring difficulty to steering
operation. If the pedal stroke exceeds
190mm(brake force is losing), then adjust as
belows: standard stroke110~130mm, the brake
force is 150N when the engine runs at idle
speed, stroke when the engine stops:75mm.
(2) Adjustment
Remove the rear cover and check. Adjust the
adjusting bolt to 50N·m until the brake disc
contacts witch the brake drum tightly.(Depress
down the brake pedal to ensure).Then turn the
adjusting bolt for 6/7 turn counterclockwise.
Make sure the two brake pedals have same
stroke, otherwise the brake performance could
be affected. Contact with liugong dealer for
replacing the brake band if the adjusting bolt size
is small than 71mm.
2. Idler gear
Since the idlers are forced to move forward and
backward by an external force, then the guide
plates will be worn out. Wear of these plates will
cause the vibration of idlers from side to side or
inclination of the idlers, and running off of track
links from the idlers or unevenly worn idler and
links may result.
(1) Move the machine by 1 to 2 m on a level
place, then measure clearance bewteen the
trck frame and guide plate (at four places of
both sides, inside, and outside)

bolt for more than 3 turns when loosening.
3. Fan belt
The fan belt is equipped with auto-tensioning
device, so its extension has nothing to do with V
belt. When replace a new belt, check its size. Its
size should be within 113 土 5mm, adjust if the
value does meet the above figure. When replace
V belt, replace the two belts together.
4. Undercarriage

Precautions for Assembly
and Disassembly
Disassembly
1. Read the operation manual before
disassembling any components.
2. Pay attention to the direction and position
when disassembling. Remember the
disassembling orders.
3. Use the tools correctly. The tools must be
special used for disassembling. Use similar
tools instead if the special tools are not
available.
4. Never disassemble those parts which are
tapered or fit tightly. If these parts are loose,
check them for wear condit ion.
5. Clean the disassembled parts and put them
together. Keep them from dust. Use two
kinds of detergent:: one is for the
contaminants, the other is for cleaning.
NOTICE: Filter, magnetic plug and
breather cap must be paid special attention
when cleaning.
Assembly
1. Clean all of the parts before assembling.
Wipe off the anti-rust agent on new parts
before assembling.
2. Generally, it needs to use special tools to
assemble the bearing, bushing, seals and so
on. It is not recommended to strike the parts
into the mounting position, place a choke a
metal if it really needs to do so.
3. Spring washer, flat washer, tongue washer,
cotter pin etc. are important parts. But they
can be missed quite easily when assembling
Check whether the locking method for these
parts are corret when mounting the fasteners
like bolts and nuts.
 61
Maintenance Manual
Precautions for Assembly and Disassembly

4. Use torque spanner when there is a specific

torque limit. Tighten the bolts especially on
covers slowly and evenly.

Assembly and Disassembly for

Bearing

1. Keep the bearings from dust because dust

can bring damage to bearing and deteriorate
the grease. Open the bearing package after
all the parts have been mounted.
2. Use gasoline as detergent for bearing, or use
kerosene oil or diesel oil to clean, the blow
with compressed air.
3. The mounting position of the bearing must be
correct. The bearing must be pressed tightly
to the bearing seat to reduce the excessive
clearance.

Installation of Oil Seals

1. When installing the seals,the seals edge

must be installed inwards to improve the oil
protection ability.
2. The seals must be pressed tightly to the oil
seal seat.
3. Coat a layer of grease onto the seal edge
before instaling the seals.
4. Use to guide tube when installing the
seals,(see picture A ), if a guide tube is not
available, use a brass bib (see picture B)
instead.
5. Method for pressing the oil seals into the
seat:: use a special tool, apply an even force
to the oil seal surface, the diameter of the
tool must be 0.5~1mm less than that of the
seat hole.(See picture C)

Work principle of fuel system
1. Fuel injector
2. Air inlet pipe
3. Fuel pump
4. Fule filter
5. Fuel tank
6. Check valve
When the engine is working, the crankshaft will
rotate to drive the fuel pump (3) to rotate
toghether. Main shaft (24) will drive gear pump
(9), speed controller fly ball (2) and shaft of
speedometer to rotate.
Fuel from fuel tank (5) flows through fuel filter (4)
then goes into the fuel pump(3).
Fuel from gear pump (9） is filtered through
strainer (19) , then it will flow through the speed
controller to throttle shaft (18). When the engine
is idling, fuel will flow through the idling port on
the speed controller sleeve to the throttle shaft
(18) , outputs from the throttle valve (4） on fuel
pump and inputs to oil injector (1).
67
Maintenance Manual
Bulldozer Structure and Principle
Because the fuel goes to the throttle shaft
through main passage and idling passage,
therefore, when the engine is idling, the main
passage is closed, only the idling passage can
supply oil. When the engine increase speed, the
ilding passage will close and the main passage
supplies oil. This is achieved by the VS speed
controller.
All the fuel that flows to fuel injector will be
injected to the air cylinder combustion chamber
throught the orifice.
After injection is finished, the piston will stop for
a while, then partial fuel will return back to the
fuel tank, meanwhile, the fuel injector can be
cooled down.
Because the oil supply capacity is decided by the
oil supply pressure and oil injecting time,
therefore, this fuel system is also called PT fuel
system.

Ripper is a four-linkage mechanism which is
installed at the rear of the frame. Carrier (1),
linkage (2), frame (3) and crossbeam (8) are
articulated together. The four articulated
positions are the apexes of a parallelogram,
therefore, a best cutting angle can be ensured no
matter how the ripper cylinder works.
