USING AUTO ACCELERATION
BS06H064 Figure 35
1. THROTTLE POTENTIOMETER
The throttle potentiometer is located on the right side

operator console, and it is used to control the engine
RPM. When the throttle potentiometer is rotated to
any position, it increases or decreases engine RPM
to maintain the engine speed for that par ticular
position.
With the attachment, swing, travel control lever or
control pedal operation, the engine speed returns to
the accel dial set position gradually according to the
respective operating pilot valve movement. Thus,

consumption, and reducing noise level.
AUTO ACCEL OPERATION AND CONTROL
a. In operation, when the pilot pressure from the
hand and pedal control levers does not act for
4 seconds, if the position of the throttle
potentiometer is higher than 1050 rpm, the
auto accel actuates automatically and the
engine speed returns to 1050 rpm.
b. When the throttle potentiometer is positioned

lower than the auto accel speed, the engine
speed is maintained to the throttle
potentiometer position.

PRACTICES TO IMPROVE EFFICIENCY

USE ARM IN ACTION Always point bucket teeth in the direction the
machine will be digging to reduce digging resistance
and the possibility of bucket teeth damage.
MAXIMUM DIGGING FORCE POSITION
DC04E074 Figure 36
Operate the bucket at shallow depths and use the
arm in action to fill the bucket. Setting the bucket too
deep will decrease the machine ‘s efficiency.
OPERATE BOOM SMOOTHLY DC04E077 Figure 39

The attachment will provide maximum digging force
when the arm and boom are at 90° ~ 110° of each
other.
CLEANING SAND & SOIL FROM BUCKET
DC04E075 Figure 37
Always begin and end boom operation slowly with
smooth careful movement of the control lever. Do not
perform sudden starts and stops of the boom as this
creates unnecessary stress on the machine and its
components. DC04E078 Figure 40
Operate arm to a near level position and bring the
BUCKET TEETH DIRECTION bucket to a dumping position. If sand and soil do not
fall out, move the bucket lever right and left a few
times.
CAUTION: Avoid shaking out soil using the stops at
the end of the bucket cylinder stroke.

material.
1. In leveling ground toward machine, pull the arm
gently, lift the boom a little and when the arm has
passed the vertical point, lower the boom gently
and manipulate the machine so the bucket
moves horizontally.
2. For leveling ground away from machine, reverse
operation in step 1 above.

general guidelines. bucket size according to the application for the
SK295-8.
If the buckets used locally vary in weight from these
sample buckets, it will be necessary to adjust the
bucket capacity accordingly. A heavier bucket must
correspond to a reduced capacity.
If the material density (weight) exceeds guidelines
specifications then the bucket capacity must be
reduced.
If the machine is to continuously dig rock, wasted
shale, river cobbel or other severe applications the
narrowest bucket possible should be utilized. This will
allow the greatest possible penetration and minimal
twisting of the attachment (boom and arm). Bucket
capacity is not to be the prime consideration for
severe applications.

USE OF OPTIONAL ATTACHMENT

EXAMPLE:
1. If the excavator uses the same bucket size
indicated in the Lifting Chart, and a lifting cable, etc.
weighing 100 kg (220 lbs) is used for lifting, then you
have to subtract this additional 100 kg (220 lbs) from
every value indicated in the lifting table accordingly.
2. If a bucket is changed for a larger bucket, which
weight is 350 kg (770 lbs) more than the bucket
1 indicated in the Lifting Chart, then you have to
subtract this additional weight from every value
indicated in the Lifting Chart accordingly.
3. If a bucket is changed for a smaller bucket, which
weight is 350 kg (770 lbs) less than the bucket
indicated in the Lifting Chart, then you can safely add
350 kg (770 lbs) to every value indicated in the Lifting
chart accordingly.
DC04D574 Figure 44
1. BUCKET QUICK COUPLER
If a machine is equipped with optional attachments

such as a bucket quick coupler, and/or thumbs (either
hydraulic or mechanical), applicable bucket sizes and
suspended loads must be reduced in direct
proportion to the weight or combined weight of these
attachments. Failure to consider the added weight of
such attachments will cause stability complaints.
Additionally the weights of such attachments must be
considered when the Lift Chart is referred to before
lifting a load. See Lift Charts in the Specification’s
Section.
Use of quick couplers for bucket
interchangeability will reduce effective arm
digging force and particularly bucket breakout
force due to an increase of tooth tip radius.
Example: Some couplers can increase tooth tip
radius up to 12 inches. If this is used with 48” tooth
tip radius, effective bucket breakout force can be
reduced 25%, a 5% reduction in effective arm force,
a reduction in lift capacities of up to 272 kg (600 lbs).
It is also impor tant to mention that some quick
couplers offer a great advantage, particularly when
lifting loads. Some quick couplers allow the operator
to quickly remove the bucket for lifting purposes;
therefore, increasing lifting capacity, height and
visibility. Always follow coupler manufacturing
instructions for safe operation.
IMPORTANT:
The operator must consider the weight of any device
utilized for lifting to properly calculate the total lifting
capacity of the machine.

break to allow the shock wave to flow through the tool
and to the material being broken. The applied
pressure has to be constantly adjusted by combining
the boom, arm, and bucket functions so that the
breaker follows the tool at all times during breaker
operation.
When the excavator boom is lowered, it normally
follows a curved path, which changes the original
perpendicular position of the breaker. therefore, it is
very impor tant to keep adjusting the operator’s
controls to maintain constant per pendicularity

USE OF BIO-DEGRADABLE OILS

When you use Bio-degradable Oil (BIO OIL), refer to the following information:
1. There are two types of BIO OIL available; vegetable based and synthetic based. You are recommended to use
the synthetic based type, because the vegetable based oil has a maximum usage temperature of 80°C
(176°F). Because of this, the degradation of vegetable based oil occurs more rapidly, and causes reduced
service life.
2. Do not mix either type of BIO OIL with the original factory filled mineral oil. In the case that you would like to
use BIO OIL, it is required to flush the hydraulic system that was filled with mineral oil twice, before adding bio
oil.
3. If you use BIO OIL, swing and propel parking brake performance will be reduced, because of the lower friction
of BIO OIL compared to that mineral oil.
4. For further information about recommended Bio-degradable oil, please contact local dealer.

GUIDELINES TO REPLACE GROUND TOOLS

It is very important to keep bucket teeth and side
cutters properly tighten. Loose or missing bolts will
increase loads and eventually cause tool failure.
Extended operation with loose hardware can cause
the bolts to stretch and wear on the support mounting
holes. Heating of hardware and support mounting
holes will cause the same effect. Follow these
general guidelines to insure proper tightness of
hardware on bucket teeth and side cutters.
• When installing new cutting edges, end bits, side
cutters, and bucket teeth, make sure that all
supporting surfaces are free of dirt, paint, debris,

left control levers to full strokes several times. • Make sure that all bolts and nut threads are clean
and dry. DO NOT APPLY ANY TYPE OF
LUBRICANT.
• When installing end bits, start at the center and
work toward the outside edges.
• Always torque bolts according to specifications.
• For best results, strike all head bolts with a heavy
hammer to seat them properly before final torque.
