Proper Work Tools and Attachments
Only use work tools and attachments that are recommended by
DOOSAN for use on DOOSAN machines. When installing and
using optional attachments, read instruction manual for
attachment, and general information related to attachments in this
manual. Because DOOSAN cannot anticipate, identify or test all
attachments that owners may want to install on their machines,
contact DOOSAN for written authorization and approval of
attachments, and their compatibility with optional kits.
Attachments and attachment control systems that are
compatible with the machine are required for safe and reliable
machine operation. Do not exceed maximum operating weight
(machine weight plus attachment) that is listed on ROPS
certification plate.
Make sure that all guards and shields are in place on machine
and on work tool. Depending on type or combination of work
equipment, there is a potential that work equipment could
interfere with the cabin or other parts of machine. Before using
unfamiliar work equipment, check if there is any potential of
interference, and operate with caution.
While you are performing any maintenance, testing, or
adjustments to attachments, stay clear of the following areas:
cutting edges, pinch points, and crushing surfaces.
Never use attachment as a work platform or manlift.
Contact your DOOSAN distributor about auxiliary hydraulic kits
for attachments installation. If you are in doubt about
compatibility of a particular attachment with a machine, consult
your DOOSAN distributor.

Pressurized Fluids
Pressurized air or fluids can cause debris and/or fluids to be
blown out. This could result in death or serious injury.
Immediately after operations are stopped, coolant, engine oil,
and hydraulic oil are at their highest temperatures and the
radiator and hydraulic tank are still under pressure. Always wait
for temperature to cool down. Follow specified procedures when
attempting to remove caps, drain oil or coolant, or replacing
filters. Always wait for temperature to cool down, and follow
specified procedures when performing these operations. Failure FG018457
to do so can result in death or serious injury. Figure 1
When pressurized air and/or pressurized water is used for
cleaning, wear protective clothing, protective shoes, and eye
protection. Eye protection includes goggles or a protective face
shield.
Pressure can be trapped in a hydraulic system and must be
relieved before maintenance is started.
Releasing trapped pressure can cause sudden machine
movement or attachment movement. Use caution if you
disconnect hydraulic lines or fittings.

Track Excavator Maintenance Safety DX480LCA-K/DX520LCA-K


1-1-4
High-pressure oil that is released can cause a hose to whip or oil
to spray. Fluid penetration can result in death or serious injury. If
fluid enters skin or eyes, get immediate medical attention from a
physician familiar with this injury.
Obey all local laws and regulations for disposal of liquids.
To prevent hot coolant from spraying out, stop engine and wait
for coolant to cool. Using gloves, slowly loosen cap to relieve
pressure.

Flying or Falling Objects


On work sites where there is a potential hazard that flying or
falling objects can hit operator's cabin, select and use a guard to
match operating conditions for additional operator protection.
Working in mines, tunnels, deep pits, and loose or wet surfaces,
could produce hazard of falling rocks or flying objects. Additional
protection for operator's cabin could be required such as an
Operator Protection Guard (OPG) or window guards. Contact
your DOOSAN distributor for information on available protective
guards. HAOA110L

oil leakage, etc.), or if any abnormal warning alerts are displayed
on display monitor, stop the machine and take the necessary
corrective actions. Do not operate machine until problem has
been corrected.

Crushing and Cutting


Keep objects away from moving fan blades. Fan blades can
throw and cut objects.
Do not use a wire rope that is kinked or frayed, or a wire rope
with any loss of diameter. Wear leather gloves when handling a
wire rope.
When striking a loose retainer pin, it can fly out and can cause a
serious injury. Make sure that area is clear of personnel when
striking a retainer pin. To avoid injury to your eyes, wear safety
goggles when striking a retainer pin.
Do not put your hand, arm or any other part of your body
between movable parts. If going between movable parts is
necessary, always position and secure work equipment so it
cannot move. Properly support equipment before performing
any work or maintenance under raised equipment.
If control levers are operated, clearance between machine and
work equipment will change and this may lead to serious
damage or can result in death or serious injury. Stay clear of
areas that may have a sudden change in clearance with
machine movement or equipment movement. Stay clear of all
rotating and moving parts. Unless instructed, never attempt
adjustments while machine is moving or while engine is running.

Fire and Explosion Prevention
All fuels, most lubricants and some coolant mixtures are
flammable and can cause a fire resulting in death or serious
injury, and property damage. Flammable fluids that are leaking
or spilled onto hot surfaces or onto electrical components can
cause fire.
Inspect for and remove all flammable materials such as spilled
fuel and oil, and debris from machine. Do not allow any
flammable materials to accumulate on machine.
HDO1015I
Always observe the following:
Figure 8

• Add fuel, oil, antifreeze and hydraulic fluid to machine only


in a well ventilated area. Machine must be parked with
controls, lights and switches turned "OFF". Engine must be
"OFF" and any flames, glowing embers, auxiliary heating
units or spark causing equipment must be extinguished, or
turned "OFF" and kept well clear of machine.
• Dust that is generated from repairing or grinding
nonmetallic hoods or nonmetallic fenders can be toxic,
flammable and explosive. Repair these components in a
well ventilated area away from flames or sparks and wear
dust mask when grinding painted parts. FG018458
Figure 9
Maintenance
The machine and some attachments have components that are
at high temperatures under normal operating conditions. The
primary source of high temperatures are the engine and exhaust
system. If damaged or incorrectly maintained, the electrical
system can be a source of arcs or sparks.
Flammable debris (leaves, straw, etc.) must be removed
regularly. If flammable debris is allowed to accumulate, it can
cause a fire hazard. Clean machine often to avoid this
accumulation. Flammable debris in an engine compartment is a
potential fire hazard.
The operator's area, engine compartment and engine cooling
system must be inspected every day and cleaned. This is
necessary to prevent fire hazards and overheating.

Operation
Do not use machine where exhaust, arcs, sparks or hot
components can contact flammable material, explosive dust or
gases.
Do not operate machine near any flame.
Exhaust shields (if equipped) protect hot exhaust components
from oil spray or fuel spray in case of a break in a line, hose, or
seal. Exhaust shields must be correctly installed.

controller, so there is a potential for an electrical shock. Never
touch injector terminal or inside of engine controller.
NOTE: If it is necessary to touch injector terminal or inside
engine controller, contact your DOOSAN distributor.

Roll-over Protective Structure (ROPS)


The operator's cabin is a ROPS certified structure for protecting
the seat-belted operator. It absorbs the impact energy of a
rollover impact. Do not allow machine weight (mass) to exceed
certified value on certification plate. If weight is exceeded, the
ROPS structure will not be able to fulfill its safety function.
Do not increase machine weight beyond certified value by
modifying machine or by installing attachments on machine. If
weight limit of protective equipment is exceeded, protective
equipment will not be able to protect operator, and operator may
suffer injury or death. Always observe the following:
• This machine is equipped with a protective structure. Do
not remove protective structure and carry out operations
without it.
• Never modify the operator’s cabin by welding, grinding,
drilling holes or adding attachments unless instructed by
DOOSAN. Changes to the cabin can cause loss of
operator protection from rollover and falling objects, and
operator may suffer serious injury or death.
• When protective structure is damaged or deformed by
falling objects or by rolling over, its strength will be reduced
and it will not be able to properly fulfill its function. In these
cases, always contact your DOOSAN distributor for advice.
Never repair a ROPS cabin.
• Always wear your seat belt when operating machine.

Equipment Lowering with Engine Stopped


Before lowering any equipment with the engine stopped, clear
the area around the equipment of all personnel and bystanders.
The procedure to use will vary with the type of equipment to be
lowered. Keep in mind most systems use a high-pressure fluid
or air to raise or lower equipment. The procedure can cause
high-pressure air, or hydraulic pressure, or some other media to
be released to lower the equipment.

DX480LCA-K/DX520LCA-K Track Excavator Maintenance Safety


1-1-31
Engine Stop
Turn engine starter switch to "O" (OFF) position and remove
engine starter switch key.
Before lowering any equipment with engine stopped, clear area
around equipment of all personnel and bystanders. This
procedure will cause high-pressure air or hydraulic pressure to
be released to lower equipment.
Do not stop engine immediately after the machine has been
operated under load. This can cause overheating and
accelerated wear of engine components.
After the machine is parked, allow engine to run for five minutes
before stopping the engine. This allows hot areas of engine to
cool gradually.
• Do not leave operator's seat when there is a raised load.

Parking Machine
Avoid making sudden stops, or parking machine wherever it
happens to be at end of workday. Park machine on firm and
level ground away from traffic and away from high walls, 120
drop-offs and any area of potential water accumulation or runoff. 
If parking on inclines is unavoidable, block crawler tracks to
prevent movement. Lower bucket or other working attachment
completely to ground, or to an overnight support saddle. To Block
prevent unintended or accidental movement.
When parking on public roads, provide fences, signs, flags, or
lights, and put up any other necessary signs to ensure that
passing traffic can see machine clearly. Park machine so
machine, flags, signs and fences do not obstruct traffic.
After front attachment has been lowered to an overnight storage
position and all switches and operating controls are in "OFF"
position, safety lever must be moved to "LOCK" position. This Unlock
will disable all pilot control functions.
Always close door of operator's cabin and lock all equipment to
prevent any unauthorized person from operating the machine. Lock EX1401035

Rubber That Contains Fluorides
Observe extra great care when it is suspected that you may
have to handle rubber that contains fluorides.
Certain seals which have to withstand high operating
temperatures (e.g. in engines, transmissions, axles, hydraulic
motors and pumps) may be made from rubber that contains
fluorides, which, when exposed to high heat (fire), forms
hydrogen fluoride and hydrofluoric acid. This acid is very
corrosive and cannot be rinsed or washed off from the skin. It
causes very severe burns which take a long time to heal.
It usually means that damaged tissue must be surgically
removed. Several hours may pass after contact with the acid,
before any symptoms appear and therefore one is not given any
immediate warning. The acid may remain on the machine parts
for several years after a fire.
If swelling, redness or a stinging feeling appears and one
suspects that cause may be contact with heated rubber that
contains fluorides, contact a medical doctor immediately. If a
machine, or part of a machine, has been exposed to fire or
severe heat, it must be handled by specially trained personnel.
In all handling of machines after a fire, thick rubber gloves and
protective goggles must be used.
The area around a part which has been very hot and which may
be made of rubber that contains fluorides must be
decontaminated by thorough and ample washing with limewater
(a solution or suspension of calcium hydroxide, i.e. slaked lime
in water). After the work has been completed, the gloves must
be washed in limewater and then discarded.

Rubber and Plastics
Polymer materials when heated, can form compounds that
create a health hazard and can harm the environment.
Scrapped rubber and plastics must never be burned. Extra
precautions must be taken when servicing machines that have
been in a fire or exposed to extreme heat.
If gas cutting or welding is to be done near such materials, the
following safety instructions must be followed:
• Protect the material from heat.
• Use protective gloves, protective goggles and an approved
respirator.

Waste Hazardous to the Environment


Painted parts or parts made of plastic or rubber which are to be
scrapped must never be burned, but must be taken care of by an
approved refuse handling plant.
Batteries, plastic objects and anything else which is suspected
of being dangerous to the environment must be taken care of in
an environmentally safe way.

Check List After Fire


When handling a machine which has been damaged by fire
or been exposed to intense heat, the following protective
measures must under all circumstances be followed:
Use thick, gloves made of rubber and wear goggles which are
certain to protect your eyes.
Never touch burned components with your bare hands, as there
is a risk that you may come into contact with melted polymer
materials. First wash thoroughly with plenty of limewater (a
solution or suspension of calcium hydroxide, i.e. slaked lime in
water).
As a precaution, seals (O-rings and other oil seals) should
always be handled as if they were made of rubber that contains
fluorides.
Treat skin, which is suspected of having touched burned rubber
that contains fluorides, with Hydrofluoric Acid Burn Jelly or
something similar. Seek medical advice. Symptom may not
appear until several hours afterwards.
Discard gloves, rags etc. which are suspected of having touched
burned rubber that contains fluorides.

including generation of gas, fire, or electric shock. Never let an
unqualified welder do welding.
A qualified welder must do the following:
• To prevent battery explosion, turn battery disconnect
switch to "OFF" position.
• To prevent generation of gas, remove paint from location
of the weld.
• If hydraulic equipment, piping or component ports close to
them are heated, a flammable gas or mist could result in
an explosion or fire. To prevent this, protect and insulate
components from excessive heat.
• Do not weld on pipes or on tubes that contain flammable
fluids. Do not flame cut pipes or tubes that contain
flammable fluids. Before welding on pipes or tubes, or
before flaming cut pipes or tubes, clean them thoroughly
with a nonflammable solvent. Make sure pressure inside
pipes or tubes does not cause a rupture of the component
parts.
• If heat is applied directly to rubber hoses or piping under
pressure, they may suddenly break, so cover and insulate
them with a fireproof covering.
• Wear protective clothing.
• Make sure there is good ventilation.

ENVIRONMENT AND
CIRCUMSTANCES

Work Site Areas Requiring Extra Caution


• Do not operate too close to edge of a quay, ramp, etc.
• Do not operate too close to edge of a steep slope or
drop-off. Take care when working in a place where
machine may tip over.
• Do not operate on soft ground or near riverbanks that could
collapse or where ground may not support weight of
excavator.
• Observe changes in ground and traction conditions after a
rain or other changes in weather.

Digging Under an Overhang


Do not dig work face under an overhang. This can cause
overhang to collapse and fall on top of the machine.
• Do not perform overhead demolition work. This can cause
broken objects and debris to fall on top of machine causing
death or serious injury, or property damage.

EX1300686
Figure 47

Deep Digging
Do not perform deep digging under front of machine. The ground
under machine may collapse and cause machine to fall resulting
in death or serious injury.
Working heavy loads on loose, soft or uneven ground, can cause
side load conditions resulting in a tip over and injury. Traveling
without a load or a balanced load may also be hazardous.
Never rely on lift jacks or other inadequate supports when work
is being done. Block tracks fore and aft to prevent any
movement. EX1300687
Figure 48
Use machine only for its intended purpose. Using it for other
purposes will cause failures.
• Do not perform demolition work under machine. There is a
hazard that the machine may become unstable and tip
over.
• When working on or from top of buildings or other
structures, check if structure can support weight of
machine and attachment. If a building structure collapses,
this can cause death or serious injury.

Track Excavator Maintenance Safety DX480LCA-K/DX520LCA-K


1-1-50
Drop-off or Edge
When working at edge of an excavation or near a drop-off, the
machine could tip over, which can result in death or serious
injury. Always fasten your seat belt. Check ground conditions of
work site before operating to prevent the machine from falling or
roll-over, and to prevent ground, stockpiles, or banks from
collapsing.
Do not travel too close to edge of a drop-off.

Poor Visibility
For good visibility, always do the following:
• When working in dark areas, attach working lights and
front lights to the machine. If necessary, set up additional
lighting at work site.
• Stop operations when visibility is poor, such as in fog, mist,
snow, and rain. Wait for visibility to improve before starting
operation.
To avoid hitting work equipment and damaging other property,
always do the following:
• When working in tunnels, on bridges, under electrical
wires, or when parking the machine or performing other
operations in places with limited height, be careful not to hit
and damage other equipment or property.
• To prevent hitting objects, operate machine at a slow
speed when working in confined spaces, indoors, or in
crowded areas.
• Do not swing bucket over the top of personnel or over
operator's cabin of dump truck.

Loose or Soft Ground


Do not operate on soft ground or near edge of drop-offs,
overhangs, and deep ditches. The ground can collapse because
of the weight of the machine causing the machine to fall or roll-
over.
Check ground conditions before beginning work with the
machine. If ground is soft, reposition the machine before
operating.
The excavated material must not be dumped too close to edge.
How far away from edge of trench excavated material must be
dumped depends on soil type and moisture content. If loose clay
is being excavated, place it at least 5 m (16 ft) away from edge.
If excavated material is dumped too close to edge, its weight can
cause a landslide.
Thawing of frozen ground, rain, traffic, piling and blasting are
other factors which increase risk of landslide. The risk also
increases on sloping ground. If it is not possible to dig a trench
and adequately slope its sides, always install shoring
equipment.

DX480LCA-K/DX520LCA-K Track Excavator Maintenance Safety


1-1-51
Loose ground may easily give way under weight of the machine.
When working on loose or unstable ground, it is important not to
dig too deep and to carefully reposition the machine. Do not
panic and do not raise bucket, if ground should begin to
collapse. Lower work equipment to improve stability of machine.
Never dig under machine, if there is a potential of causing a
landslide.

High-voltage Cables
Do not travel or operate machine near electrical cables or
overhead power lines. There is a hazard of electric shock, which
can cause property damage and result in death or serious injury.
The bucket or other attachment does not have to make physical
contact with power lines for current to cause an electrocution.
Use a spotter and hand signals to stay away from power lines
not clearly visible to operator. On work sites where machine may
operate close to electrical cables, always do the following:
EX1300688
• Remember that electrical voltage determines what the
Figure 49
minimum distance is to stay away from the power line. See
the following table for minimum distances when working
near electrical power lines. Electrical flashover can occur
and damage machine and cause death or serious injury.

Voltage Minimum Distance


6.6 kV 3 m (9' 10")

Operation in Extreme Conditions

Operation In Extreme Cold


In extremely cold weather, avoid sudden travel movements and
stay away from even slight slopes. The machine could slide
down the slope.
Snow accumulation could hide potential hazards and slippery
surfaces.
Warming up engine for a short period may be necessary to
avoid operating with sluggish or reduced working capacity. The
jolting shocks and impact loads caused by bumping or
bottoming boom or attachment could cause severe stress in
very cold temperatures. Reducing work cycle rate and workload
may be necessary.
If machine is to be operated in extremely cold weather
temperatures, certain precautions must be taken. The following
paragraphs detail checks to be made to be certain machine is
capable of operating at these temperatures.
1. Preheat the engine before startup. Wait 3 ~ 4 seconds
after preheating until voltage of the battery returns, and
then actuate the key switch.
2. Keep batteries fully charged to prevent freezing. If distilled
water is added to batteries, run engine at least one hour to
mix electrolyte solution. When temperature drops below -
10°C, effectiveness of the battery is reduced accordingly.
Insulation of the battery prevents this reduction, and
supports improvement of starting power of the starter.

WARNING
BATTERY EXPLOSION CAN CAUSE DEATH OR
SERIOUS INJURY
Never attempt to directly heat the battery with open fire.

3. Keep engine in good mechanical condition for easy starting


and good performance during adverse weather.
4. Use engine oil with proper specifications for expected
temperatures. Refer to Operation & Maintenance Manual
or Shop Manual for details.
5. Always keep the fuel tank fully filled after completion of
operation. The fuel filter, if frozen, may interrupt the flow of
fuel. Periodically remove water from the fuel tank, drain
water from the filter, and replace the filter upon regular
basis.
To prevent fuel from being clogged due to formation of wax
in fuel, make sure that wax formation point of fuel is lower
than atmospheric temperature.

temperature before operating.
• If mud and ice collects and freezes on any of moving
parts while machine is idle, apply heat to thaw frozen
material before attempting to operate machine.
• Operate hydraulic units with care until they have
reached a temperature which enable them to operate
normally.
• Check all machine controls and functions to be sure
they are operating correctly.
8. An extra outer air filter must be kept in operator's cabin to
replace element that could become iced and cause
restricted airflow to engine.
9. Clean off all mud, snow and ice to prevent freezing. Cover
machine with a tarp if possible, keep ends of tarp from
freezing to ground.

Operation in Extreme Heat


Continuous operation of machine in high temperatures can
cause machine to overheat. Monitor engine and hydraulic
system temperatures and stop machine to let it cool, when
necessary.
1. Make frequent inspections and services of fan and
radiator. Check coolant level in radiator. Check grilles and
radiator fins for accumulation of dirt, debris and insects
which could block cooling passages.
• Formation of scale and rust in cooling system occurs
more rapidly in extremely high temperatures. Change
antifreeze each year to keep corrosion inhibitor at full
strength.
• If necessary, flush cooling system periodically to
keep passages clear. Avoid use of water with a high
alkali content which increases scale and rust
formation.

water content before filling fuel tank. High temperatures
and cooling off cause condensation in storage drums.
4. Lubricate as specified in "Lubrication and Service Chart" on
page 4-15, in Operation & Maintenance Manual or
Lubrication Decal on machine.
5. Do not park machine in sun for long periods of time. If
possible, park machine under cover to protect it from sun,
dirt and dust.
A. Cover machine if no suitable shelter is available.
Protect engine compartment and hydraulics from dirt
and debris.
B. In hot, damp climates, corrosion will occur on all parts
of machine and will be accelerated during rainy
season. Rust and paint blisters will appear on metal
surfaces and fungus growth on other surfaces.
C. Protect all unfinished, exposed surfaces with a film of
preservative lubricating oil. Protect cables and
terminals with ignition insulation compound. Apply
paint or suitable rust preventive to damaged surfaces
to protect them from rust and corrosion.

During electrical storms, do not enter or exit machine.
• If you are off machine, keep away from machine until storm
passes.
• If you are in cabin, remain seated with machine stationary
until storm passes. Do not touch controls or anything
metal.

Exhaust Ventilation
Engine exhaust gases can cause unconsciousness, loss of
alertness, judgment and motor control. This can result in death
or serious injury.
Make sure there is adequate ventilation before starting engine in
any enclosed area.
Check for and be aware of any open windows, doors or
ductwork where exhaust may be carried, or blown by wind,
exposing others to hazardous exhaust gases.

from asbestos fiber, observe the following precautions:
• Use an approved respirator that is approved for use in an
asbestos-laden atmosphere.
• Use water for cleaning to keep down dust.
• Always observe any regulations related to work site and
working environment.
• Avoid brushing or grinding materials that contain asbestos.
• A vacuum cleaner that is equipped with a high efficiency
particulate air filter can also be used.
• Comply with applicable laws and regulations for workplace.
• Stay away from areas that might have asbestos particles in
air.

Silica Dust Information

WARNING
AVOID DEATH OR SERIOUS INJURY
Avoid exposure to dust containing crystalline silica
particles as it can cause serious injury to the lungs
(silicosis).

Cutting or drilling concrete containing sand or rock containing


quartz can result in exposure to silica dust. Do not exceed
Permissible Exposure Limits (PEL) to silica dust as determined
by OSHA or other work site rules, laws and regulations. Use a
respirator, water spray or other means to control dust. Silica dust
can cause lung disease and is known to the state of California to
cause cancer.

WORKING RANGE

WARNING
AVOID DEATH OR SERIOUS INJURY
The Minimum Digging Reach or "L" dimension, depends on
the stability and support provided by ground conditions.
Digging too far underneath the excavator if soil conditions
are wet, loose or unstable can collapse ground support,
which could cause death or serious injury and/or
equipment damage.

PERFORMANCE TESTS
Use operational performance test procedure to quantitatively
check all system and functions on the machine.

Purpose of Performance Tests


1. To comprehensively evaluate each operational function by
comparing the performance test data with the standard values.
2. According to the evaluation results, repair, adjust, or
replace parts or components as necessary to restore the
machine’s performance to the desired standard.
3. To economically operate the machine under optimal
conditions.

Kinds of Tests
1. Base machine performance test is to check the operational
performance of each system such as engine, travel, swing,
and hydraulic cylinders.
2. Hydraulic component unit test is to check the operational
performance of each component such as hydraulic pump,
motor, and various kinds of valves.

Performance Standards
"Performance Standard" is shown in tables to evaluate the
performance test data.

Precautions for Evaluation of Test Data


To evaluate not only that the test data is correct, but also in what
range the test data is, be sure to evaluate the test data based on
the machine operation hours, kinds and state of work loads, and
machine maintenance conditions.
The machine performance does not always deteriorate as the
working hours increase. However, the machine performance is
normally considered to reduce in proportion to the increase of
the operation hours. Accordingly, restoring the machine
performance by repair, adjustment, or replacement shall
consider the number of the machine's working hours.

Definition of "Performance Standard"


1. Operation speed values and dimensions of the new
machine.
2. Operational performance of new components adjusted to
specifications. Allowable errors will be indicated as
necessary.

DX480LCA-K/DX520LCA-K Specifications
2-1-21
PREPARATION FOR PERFORMANCE TESTS
Observe the following rules to perform performance tests
accurately and safety.

The Machine
1. Repair any defects and damage found, such as oil or water
leaks, loose bolts, cracks etc, before starting to test.

Test Area
1. Select a hard and flat surface.
2. Secure enough space to allow the machine to travel
straight ahead more than 20 m (65 ft 7 in), and to make a
full swing with the front attachment extended.
3. If required, place cones or barricades around the test area
and post signs to keep unauthorized personnel away.

Precautions
1. Before starting to test, agree upon the signals to be
employed for communication among coworkers.
Once the test is started, be sure to communicate with each
other using these signals, and to follow them without fail.
2. Operate the machine carefully and always give first priority
to safety.
3. Do not operate on soft ground, near drop-offs, around
electrical cables, or overhead power lines. Always confirm EX1302009
there is sufficient space for full swings Figure 10

4. Use leak proof containers to catch drained or leaking oil.


Obey local laws and regulations when disposing of oil, fuel,
filters and batteries.

Make Precise Measurement


1. Accurately calibrate test instruments in advance to obtain
correct data.
2. Perform tests under the exact test conditions prescribed for
each test item
3. Repeat the same test and confirm that test data obtained
can be produced repeatedly. Use mean values of
measurements if necessary.

INSTRUCTIONS

WARNING
AVOID DEATH OR SERIOUS INJURY
To avoid accidents, personal injury and the possibility of
causing damage to the machine or to components, welding
must only be performed by properly trained and qualified
personnel, who possess the correct certification (when
required) for the specific welding fabrication or specialized
repair being performed.

WARNING
AVOID DEATH OR SERIOUS INJURY
Structural elements of the machine may be built from a
variety of steels. These could contain unique alloys or may
have been heat-treated to obtain particular strength
characteristics. It is extremely important that welding
repairs on these types of steel are performed with the
proper procedures and equipment. If repairs are performed
incorrectly, structural weakening or other damage to the
machine (that is not always readily visible) could result.
Always consult DOOSAN After Sales Service before
welding on integral components (loader arm, frames, car
body, track frames, upper structure, attachment, etc.) of the
machine. It is possible that some types of structurally
critical repairs may require Magnetic Particle or Liquid
Penetrant testing, to make sure there are no hidden cracks
or damage, before the machine can be returned to service.

WARNING
AVOID DEATH OR SERIOUS INJURY
Always perform welding procedures with proper safety
equipment and adequate ventilation in a dry work area.
Keep a fire extinguisher near and wear personal protective
equipment.

WARNING
AVOID DEATH OR SERIOUS INJURY
Observe the following safety instructions:
1. Use adequate safety shielding and keep away from
fuel and oil tanks, batteries, hydraulic piping lines or
other fire hazards when welding.
2. Never weld when the engine is running. Battery cables
must be disconnected before the welding procedure is
started.
3. Never weld on a wet or damp surface. The presence of
moisture causes hydrogen embrittlement and
structural weakening of the weld.
4. If welding procedures are being performed near
cylinder rods then operator's cabin window areas or
any other assemblies could be damaged by weld
spatters. Use adequate shielding protection in front of
the assembly.
5. During welding equipment setup, always attach
ground cables directly to the area or component being
welded to prevent arcing through bearings, bushings,
or spacers.
6. Always use correct welding rods for the type of weld
being performed and observe recommended
precautions and time constraints. AWS Class E7018
welding rods for low alloy to medium carbon steel
must be used within two hours after removal from a
freshly opened container. Class E11018G welding rods
for T-1 and other higher strength steel must be used
within 1/2 hour of removal from a freshly opened
container.

HYDRAULIC SYSTEM -
GENERAL PRECAUTIONS
Always maintain oil level in the system at recommended levels.
Assemblies that operate under heavy loads, at high-speed, with
extremely precise tolerances between moving parts (e.g. pistons
and cylinders, or shoes and swash plates), can be severely
damaged if oil supply runs dry.
Assemblies can be run dry and damaged severely in a very
short time when piping or hoses are disconnected to repair leaks
and/or replace damaged components. Hoses that are
inadvertently switched during disassembly (inlet for outlet and
vice versa), air introduced into the system or assemblies that are
low on oil because of neglect or careless maintenance, could all
produce sufficient fluid loss to cause damage or improper
operation.

General Maintenance Instructions DX480LCA-K/DX520LCA-K


3-1-4
When starting the engine (particularly after long layoff or storage
intervals), make sure that all hydraulic controls and operating
circuits are in neutral, or "OFF". That will prevent pumps or other
components that may be temporarily oil starved from being run
under a load.
Replacement of any hydraulic system component could require
thorough cleaning, flushing, and some amount of prefilling with
fresh, clean oil if the protective seal on replacement parts has
obviously been broken or if seal integrity may have been
compromised. When protective seals are removed before
installation and reassembly, inspect all replacement parts
carefully, before they are installed. If the replacement part
shows no trace of factory prelube or has been contaminated by
dirt or by questionable oils, flushing and prefilling with clean
hydraulic fluid is recommended.
Vibration, irregular or difficult movement or unusual noise from
any part of the hydraulic system could be an indication of air in
the system (and many other types of problems). As a general
precaution (and to help lessen the risk of potential long-term
damage), allow the engine to run at no-load idle speed
immediately after initial start-up. Hydraulic fluid will circulate,
releasing any air that may have been trapped in the system
before load demands are imposed.
Before starting the machine, a daily walk-around safety
inspection, including a quick visual inspection for any exterior
evidence of leaking hydraulic fluid, can help extend the service
life of system components.

IMPORTANT
Hydraulic system operating conditions (repetitive cycling,
heavy workloads, fluid circulating under high-pressure)
make it extremely critical that dust, grit or any other
contamination be kept out of the system. Observe fluid and
filter change maintenance interval recommendations and
always preclean any exterior surface of the system before it
is exposed to air. For example, the reservoir fill cap and
neck area, hoses that have to be disassembled, and the
covers and external surfaces of filter canisters should all be
cleaned before disassembly.

3-1-5
MAINTENANCE SERVICE AND
REPAIR PROCEDURE

General Precautions
Fluid level and condition should always be checked whenever
any other maintenance service or repair is being performed.
NOTE: If the unit is being used in an extreme temperature
environment (in subfreezing climates or in high
temperature, high humidity tropical conditions),
frequent purging of moisture condensation from the
hydraulic reservoir drain tap must be a regular and
frequent part of the operating routine. In more
moderate, temperate climates, draining reservoir
sediment and moisture may not be required more
than once or twice every few months.
Inspect drained oil and used filters for signs of abnormal coloring
or visible fluid contamination at every oil change. Abrasive grit or
dust particles will cause discoloration and darkening of the fluid.
Visible accumulations of dirt or grit could be an indication that
filters are overloaded (and will require more frequent
replacement) or that disintegrating bearings or other component
failures in the hydraulic circuit may be imminent or have already
occurred. Open the drain plugs on the main pump casings and
check and compare drain oil in the pumps. Look for evidence of
grit or metallic particles.
Vibration or unusual noise during operation could be an
indication of air leaking into the circuit (Refer to the appropriate
Troubleshooting section for component or unit for procedures.),
or it may be evidence of a defective pump. The gear type pilot
pump could be defective, causing low pilot pressure, or a main
pump broken shoe or piston could be responsible.
NOTE: If equipped, indicated operating pressure, as shown
on the multidisplay digital gauge on the Instrument
Panel ("F-Pump" and "R-Pump") will be reduced
because of a mechanical problem inside the pump.
However, pressure loss could also be because of
cavitation or air leakage, or other faults in the
hydraulic system.
Check the exterior case’s oil drain line in the main pumps. If no
metallic particles are found, make sure there is no air in the
system. Unbolt and remove tank return drain line from the top
part of the swing motor, both travel motors and each main pump.
If there is air in any one of the drain lines, carefully prefill the
assembly before bolting together the drain line piping
connections. Run the system at low rpm.

HYDRAULIC SYSTEM
CLEANLINESS AND OIL LEAKS

Maintenance Precautions for Hydraulic


System Service
Whenever maintenance, repairs or any other troubleshooting or
service is being performed, it's important to remember that
hydraulic system - including both the interior and exterior
surfaces of assemblies, and every drop of operating fluid - must
be protected from contamination.
Dust and other foreign contaminants are major contributors to
premature wear in hydraulic circuits. The narrow tolerances,
rapidly moving parts and high operating pressures of the system
require that fluid be kept as clean as possible. The performance
and dependability of the machine (and the service life of
individual components) can be noticeably reduced if proper
precautions are not observed:
• Use a noncombustible, evaporative type, low residue
solvent and thoroughly clean exterior surfaces of
assemblies before any part of the circuit is opened or
disassembled.
NOTE: It's just as important to clean the cap and
reservoir top before routine fluid changes or
quick checks as it is before major repairs.
(Accumulated dirt attracts moisture, oil and
other fluids - and more dirt.)
• Keep dismantled parts covered during disassembly. Use
clean caps, plugs or tape to protect the disconnected
openings of flanges, manifolds and piping.
• Do not allow cleaning solvents or other fluids to mix with
the oil in the system. Use clean oil to flush any traces of
solvent or other residue before reassembly.
• If metal or rubber fragments are found in the system, flush
and replace all fluid in the system and troubleshoot the
circuit to identify the source of contamination.

IMPORTANT
Make sure that cleaning solvents will be compatible with
rubber materials used in the hydraulic system. Many
petroleum based compounds can cause swelling,
softening, or other deterioration of system sealing
elements, such as O-rings, caps and other seals.

DX480LCA-K/DX520LCA-K General Maintenance Instructions


3-1-7
Oil Leakage Precautions
Oil that is visibly seeping from joints or seals should always
serve as a "red flag" alarm.
Leaks must alert the machine operator and maintenance crew
that air, water and dirt have an open, free passageway through
which to enter the circuit. Corrosive salt air, freezing and thawing
condensation cycles and working environments that are full of
fine dust are especially hazardous. Clogging of valve spools or
external piping (especially pilot circuit piping) can gradually
diminish or suddenly put a stop to normal hydraulic function. You
can prevent having to make these types of repairs by the
following recommended assembly procedures:
1. Use new O-rings and oil seals whenever hydraulic
assemblies are rebuilt.
2. Prepare joint surfaces before assembly by checking
alignment and flatness. Clean and repair corrosion or any
other damage.
3. Follow bolt torque recommendations and all other
assembly requirements.
NOTE: Grease lip seals before assembly.

3-1-8
CLEANING AND INSPECTION

General Instructions
All parts must be clean to permit an effective inspection. During
assembly, it is very important that no dirt or foreign material
enters unit being assembled. Even minute particles can cause
malfunction of close installed parts such as thrust bearing,
matched parts, etc.

WARNING
AVOID DEATH OR SERIOUS INJURY
Do not inhale vapors or allow solvent type cleaners to
contact skin. Keep solvent away from open flame, arcs or
sparks or other sources of ignition that could start a fire.

1. Clean all metal parts thoroughly using a suitable cleaning


fluid. It is recommended that parts be immersed in cleaning
fluid and moved up and down slowly until all oils,
lubricants, and/or foreign materials are dissolved and parts
are thoroughly clean.
2. For bearings that can be removed, soak them in a suitable
cleaning fluid for a minute or two, then remove bearings
from cleaning fluid and strike flat against a block of wood to
dislodge solidified particles of lubricant. Immerse again in
cleaning fluid to flush out particles. Repeat above
operation until bearings are thoroughly clean. To dry
bearings, use moisture-free compressed air. Be careful to
direct airstream across bearing to avoid spinning bearings
that are not lubricated. DO NOT SPIN BEARINGS WHEN
DRYING; bearings may be rotated slowly by hand to
facilitate drying process.
3. Carefully inspect all bearing rollers, cages and cups for
wear, chipping or nicks to determine condition. Do not
replace a bearing cone or cup individually without replacing
mating cup or cone at the same time. After inspection, dip
bearings in lightweight oil and wrap in clean lintless cloth or
paper to protect them until installation.
For those bearings that are to be inspected in place;
inspect bearings for roughness of rotation, scoring, pitting,
cracked or chipped races. If any of these defects are
found, replace bearings. Also, inspect defective bearing
housing and/or shaft for grooved, galled or burred
conditions that indicate bearing has been turning in its
housing or on its shaft.
4. It is more economical to replace oil seals, O-rings, sealing
rings, gaskets and retaining rings when unit is
disassembled than waiting for premature failures; refer to
latest Micro Fiche and/or Parts Book for replacement items.

DX480LCA-K/DX520LCA-K General Maintenance Instructions


3-1-9
Be careful when installing sealing members, to avoid
cutting or scratching. Curling under of any seal lip will
seriously impair its efficiency. Apply a thin coat of Loctite
#120 to outer diameter of metal casing and on oil seals to
assure an oil tight install into retainer. Use extreme care
not to get Loctite on lips of oil seals. If this happens, that
portion of the seal will become brittle and allow leakage.
When replacing lip type seals, make sure spring loaded
side is towards oil to be sealed.
5. If available, use magna-flux or similar process for checking
for cracks that are not visible. Examine teeth on all gears
carefully for wear, pitting, chipping, nicks, cracks or scores.
Replace all gears showing cracks or spots where
case-hardening has worn through. Small nicks may be
removed with suitable hone. Inspect shafts and quills to
make certain they have not been sprung, bent, or no
twisted splines, and that shafts are normal condition.
NOTE: Spline wear is not considered detrimental
except where it affects tightness of splined
parts.
Inspect thrust washers for distortion, scores, burs, and
wear. Replace thrust washer if defective or worn.
6. Inspect bores and bearing surfaces of cast parts and
machined surfaces for scratches, wear, grooves and dirt.
Remove any scratches and burrs with crocus cloth.
Remove foreign material. Replace any parts that are
deeply grooved or scratched which would affect their
operation.

Bearing Inspection
The conditions of the bearing are vital to the smooth and
efficient operation of the machinery. When any component
containing bearings is disassembled, always carefully examine
the condition of the bearings and all of its components for wear
and damage.
Once the bearing is removed, clean all parts thoroughly using a
suitable cleaning solution. If the bearing is excessively dirty,
soak the bearing assembly in a light solution and move the
bearing around until all lubricants and/or foreign materials are
dissolved and the parts are thoroughly clean.
When drying bearings, moisture free compressed air can be
used. Be careful not to direct the air in a direction which will
force the bearing to dry spin while not being properly lubricated.
After the bearings have been cleaned and dried, carefully
inspect all bearing rollers, cages and cups for wear, chipping or
nicks. If the bearing cannot be removed and is to be inspected in
place, check for roughness of rotation, scoring, pitting, cracked
or chipped races. If any of these defects are found replace the
whole bearing assembly. NEVER replace the bearing alone
without replacing the mating cup or the cone at the same time.

3-1-10
After inspection lightly coat the bearing and related parts with oil
and wrap in a clean lintless cloth or paper and protect them from
moisture and other foreign materials until installation.
It is also important to inspect the bearing housing and/or shaft
for grooved, galled or burred conditions that indicate the bearing
has been turning in its housing or on its shaft.
If available, use magna-flux or similar process for checking for
cracks that are not visible.
The following illustrations will aid in identifying and diagnosing
some of the bearing related problems.
NOTE: The illustrations will only show tapered roller
bearings, but the principles of identifying, diagnosing
and remedying the defects are common to all styles

Standard Torques DX480LCA-K/DX520LCA-K


3-2-8
TORQUE WRENCH EXTENSION TOOLS
Very large diameter, high-grade fasteners (nuts, bolts, cap
screws, etc.) require a great deal of turning force to achieve
recommended tightening torque values.
Common problems that could occur as a result are:
• Recommended torque exceeds the measuring capacity of
the torque wrench.
• Specialized sockets do not fit the adapter on the front end
(nose) of the torque wrench.
• Generating adequate force on the back end (handle) of the
wrench is difficult or impossible.
• Restricted access or an obstruction may make use of the
torque wrench impossible.
• A unique application requires fabrication of an adapter or
other special extension.
Most standard torque wrenches can be adapted to suit any one
of the proceeding needs or situations, if the right extension tool
is used or fabricated.

Torque Multiplication
A wrench extension tool can be used to increase the tightening
force on a high capacity nut or bolt.
For example, doubling the distance between the bolt and the
back (handle) end of the torque wrench doubles the tightening
force on the bolt. It also halves the indicated reading on the
scale or dial of the torque wrench. To accurately adjust or
convert indicated scale or dial readings, use the following
formula:
I = A x T/A + B where:
I = Indicated force shown on the torque wrench scale or dial.
T = Tightening force applied to the nut or bolt (actual Torque). Figure 1

A = Length of the torque wrench (between the center of the nut


or bolt and the center of the handle).
B = Length of the extension.
As an example, if a 12" extension is added to a 12" torque
wrench, and the indicated torque on the dial reads "150 ft lb",
the real force applied to the bolt is 300 ft lb:

AxT 12 x 300 3600


I= = = = 150
A+B 12 + 12 24

DX480LCA-K/DX520LCA-K Standard Torques


3-2-9
NOTE: The formula assumes there is no added deflection or
"give" in the joint between the extension and torque
wrench. Readings may also be inaccurate:
• If the extension itself absorbs some of the tightening force
and starts to bend or bow out.
• If an extension has to be fabricated that is not perfectly
straight (for example, an extension made to go around an
obstruction, to allow access to a difficult to tighten
fastener), the materials and methods used must be solid
enough to transmit full tightening torque.

Other Uses for Torque Wrench Extension


Tools
Torque wrench extensions are sometimes made up for reasons
other than increasing leverage on a fastener.
For example, a torque wrench and extension can be used to
measure adjustment "tightness" of a linkage or assembly.
Specially fabricated extensions can be used to make very
precise checks of the force required to engage or disengage a
clutch mechanism, release a spring-applied brake assembly, or
"take up" free play in most any movable linkage.
Once the value of the adjustment force is established, repeated
checks at regular intervals can help to monitor and maintain
peak operating efficiency. These types of adjustment checks are
especially useful if physical measurements of linkage travel are
difficult to make or will not provide the needed degree of
precision and accuracy.
To allow the assembly or mechanism to accept a torque wrench,
welding a nut or other adapter on the end of a linkage shaft or
other leverage point will allow turning the shaft or assembly
manually.

Roll Over Protective Structure (ROPS) 


When Required by Local Regulations
Global markets may or may not require a Roll Over Protective
Structure (ROPS). Always comply with all regional and
governmental regulations that apply to your market. The
following information is for a ROPS cabin.

General ROPS Guidelines for ROPS Certified Cabins


The operator's cabin is a ROPS certified structure for protecting
the seat-belted operator. It absorbs the impact energy of a
rollover impact. Do not allow machine weight (mass) to exceed
certified value on certification plate. If weight is exceeded, the
ROPS structure will not be able to fulfill its safety function.
Do not increase machine weight beyond certified value by
modifying machine or by installing attachments on machine. If
weight limit of protective equipment is exceeded, protective

DX480LCA-K/DX520LCA-K Cabin (Rops)


5-2-3
equipment will not be able to protect operator, and operator may
suffer serious injury or death. Always observe the following:
• This machine is equipped with a protective structure. Do
not remove protective structure and carry out operations
without it.
• Never modify the operator’s cabin by welding, grinding,
drilling holes or adding attachments unless instructed by
DOOSAN. Changes to the cabin can cause loss of
operator protection from rollover and falling objects, and
operator may suffer serious injury or death.
• When protective structure is damaged or deformed by
falling objects or by rolling over, its strength will be reduced
and it will not be able to properly fulfill its function. In these
cases, always contact your DOOSAN distributor for advice.
Never repair a ROPS cabin.
• Always wear your seat belt when operating machine.

ROPS Certification
This DOOSAN excavator has an operator’s cabin that meets
ROPS requirements. The seat belt must be worn for rollover
protection.
The ROPS certification plate (Figure 2) is found on the left side
of the cabin on most models. It may vary slightly in its location
on some models.
Check the ROPS cabin, mounting, and hardware for damage.
Never modify the ROPS cabin. Replace the cabin and hardware
if damaged. See your DOOSAN dealer for parts. EX1300529
Figure 2 Left Side of Rops Cabin (Inside)
ROPS  Roll-over Protective Structure complies with
ISO 12117-2:2008, EN13531:2001.

WARNING
Never modify the operator cabin by welding, grinding,
drilling holes or adding attachments unless instructed by
DOOSAN. Changes to the cabin can cause loss of operator
protection from rollover and falling objects, and result in
serious injury or death.

Warning for Counterweight and Front


Attachment Removal

WARNING
AVOID DEATH OR SERIOUS INJURY
DOOSAN warns any user, that removal of the counterweight
from the machine, front attachment (boom and arm) or any
other part, may affect the stability of the machine. This
could cause unexpected movement, resulting in death or
serious injuries.
Never remove counterweight or front attachment unless the EX1401352
upper structure is in-line with the lower structure.
Figure 1
Never rotate the upper structure once the counterweight or
front attachment has been removed.

Before any attempt is made to begin removal or installation of


the counterweight, the excavator must be parked on a firm and
level supporting surface, with no sloping surfaces or soft or
muddy ground in the area where the assist lift crane will be
working. Position all accessories in the overnight storage
position.

WARNING
AVOID DEATH OR SERIOUS INJURY
The weight of counterweight is given in the following table.
Use only rated and approved slings and hardware when
removal or installation lifts are being made. Lifting slings,
shackles and all other hardware must be rigged safely. An
assist crane that is rated above weight capacity is required.

Model Weight of Counterweight


8,506 kg (18,753 lb)
DX480LCA-K
9,006 kg (19,855 lb)
DX520LCA-K 11,105 kg (24,482 lb)

DX480LCA-K/DX520LCA-K Counterweight
5-3-3
Responsibility must be assigned to one person to be in charge
of the lifting crew, and to verify that required safe lifting
precautions have been taken before each part of this procedure
has been started.
All members of the working crew should know and understand
the signals that will be used between the lifting leader, the assist
crane operator and the remainder of the work crew.

WARNING
AVOID DEATH OR SERIOUS INJURY
If the upper structure deck has been unbalanced by
removal of weight from one end only, traveling with the
excavator, swinging the turntable, movement over bumps
or sloping and uneven surfaces could cause loss of control
resulting in tipping or rollover.

To maintain stability the counterweight must be removed only


when the front attachment is taken off the machine.

Swing Bearing DX480LCA-K/DX520LCA-K


6-1-2
GENERAL

General Description
The swing bearing, which connects the upper structure with the
lower structure, consists of a inner ring, outer ring and ball
bearings. During swing movement, power from the swing motor
is transferred to the pinion by planetary gears connected to
gears on the inner ring, which is fixed in the undercarriage. Ball
bearings turn the outer ring.

MAINTENANCE GUIDELINES
Operating Recommendation
The service life of the swing bearing may be extended if a daily
effort is made to equalize usage over both ends of the
excavator. If the excavator is used in the same operating
configuration day in and day out (for example, with the travel
motors always under the counterweight, or with the attachment
over one side of the machine more than the other), the bearing's
service life could be reduced. Repositioning the excavator
during the work shift, to work the opposite end of the bearing,
will provide a more even and gradual rate of wear and extended
service life. EX1302041
Figure 2

Measuring Swing Bearing Axial Play


Regular checks of bearing displacement must be made at least
twice a year. Use a dial indicator. With the arm cylinders fully
retracted and the bucket cylinders fully extended, position the
arm tip pin height is flush with the boom foot pin height. 
(Figure 3)
Push the attachment against the ground to lift up the excavator
The height as the
above the ground and take measurements at 4 points, 90° apart, boom foot pin height.
around the circumference of the bearing.
Record and keep all measurements. Play in the bearing should EX1301770
increase minimally from one inspection to the next. Figure 3 Measurement (h1)

Eventually, however, as the bearing begins to approach the limit


of its service life, clearance increases become much more
pronounced and the actual measured play in the bearing could
exceed twice the value that was measured when the machine
was new.

Measuring Bearing Lateral Play


When vertical checks are made, the side to side play in the EX1301780
bearing can be checked by fully retracting the arm and bucket Figure 4 Measurement (h2)
cylinders and extending the tip of the bucket as far forward as it
will go. With the excavator parked on a flat, level surface and the
bucket tip just off the ground, push against the bucket sideways
to take up all the lateral clearance in the bearing. (Less than 100
lb of force must be required to move the bucket over all the
way.) Check lateral play in both directions and record the values.
When the bearing is beginning to approach the end of its service
life, the measured lateral clearance should start to show
increase in value.

TRACK TENSION

WARNING
AVOID DEATH OR SERIOUS INJURY
Measuring track tension requires two people. One person
must be in the operator's seat, operating the controls while
the other person makes dimensional checks. Block frame to
make sure the machine won't move or shift position during
service. Warm up the engine to prevent stalls, park the
excavator in an area that provides level, uniform ground
support and/or use support blocks when necessary.

Track shoe link pins and bushings wear with normal usage,
reducing track tension. Periodic adjustment is necessary to
compensate for wear and it can also be required by working
conditions.
1. Track tension is checked by jacking up one side of the
excavator. See Figure 1. Place blocking under frame while
taking measurement.
Turn the track backward 1 ~ 2 turns.
90 - 110

EX1300534
Figure 1

2. Measuring the distance (A, Figure 2) between the bottom


of the side frame and the top of the lowest crawler shoe.
Recommended tension for operation over most types of
terrain is distance "B" on below table.
NOTE: Clean off the tracks before checking clearance
for accurate measurements.
A
3. Too little sag in the crawler track (less than clearance
distance "B" on below table) can cause excessive
component wear. The recommended adjustment can also
be too tight causing accelerated stress and wear if ground
FG000223
conditions are wet, marshy or muddy.
Figure 2
4. The increased clearance recommended for muddy, sandy
or snowy ground conditions is between distance "C" on
below table.

Terrain Type Distance "A"


380 ~ 410 mm
Normal "B"
(14.96 ~ 16.14 in)
410 ~ 460 mm
Muddy, Sandy or Snowy "C"
(16.14 ~ 18.11 in)

Track Assembly DX480LCA-K/DX520LCA-K


6-2-4
WARNING
AVOID DEATH OR SERIOUS INJURY
The track adjusting mechanism is under very
high-pressure. NEVER release grease pressure too
fast. The track tension grease valve should never be
loosened more than one (1) complete turn from the
fully tightened down position. Bleed off grease
pressure slowly. Keep your body away from the valve
always. Always wear eye and face protection when
adjusting track tension.

5. Track tension adjustments are made through the grease


fitting (1, Figure 3) in the middle of each side frame. Adding 2
grease increases the length of an adjustment cylinder (2).
Extending the adjustment cylinder, increases the pressure
on the tension spring pushing the track idler wheel
outward.
6. If there is not enough slack or clearance in the tracks and
the adjustment is too tight, the idler wheel and adjusting
cylinder can be retracted by bleeding off grease through 1
hole in adjustment cylinder (2, Figure 3). 3

REMOVAL

DANGER
AVOID DEATH
DOOSAN warns any user, that removal of the counterweight
from the machine, front attachment or any other part, can
affect the stability of the machine. This could cause
unexpected movement, resulting in death or serious injuries.
Never remove counterweight or front attachment unless the
upper structure is in-line with the lower structure.
Never rotate the upper structure once the counterweight or
front attachment has been removed.
EX1401352
Figure 2
IMPORTANT
Always break down the front attachment by removing
outermost sections first - the bucket before the arm, the
arm before the boom. Reinstallation of the attachment must
begin with the boom and end with the bucket.

Refer to the appropriate Bucket section for its removal and


installation procedure before going onto the initial step of the
front attachment removal or installation procedure.

Arm Removal

WARNING
AVOID DEATH OR SERIOUS INJURY
This procedure is intended for routine removal or
replacement of the attachment by ONLY authorized and
trained service persons. Call you local Doosan distributor
for assistance.
DO NOT allow other personnel to go under the boom, arm
or attachment sections, if not properly supported.
Keep away from pressurized hydraulic lines to prevent
death or serious injury from high-pressure oil.

Complete the bucket end removal procedure by pulling out the


two bucket linkage pins and the bucket cylinder mounting pin, on
the arm. Use an assist crane or hoist to lift the cylinder and
relieve weight on mounting pins.
Park the excavator away from obstructions and all traffic on
clear, flat, level ground. Extend the arm cylinder and crowd the

Boom and Arm DX480LCA-K/DX520LCA-K


7-1-4
arm into the boom. Partially retract the boom cylinder so the
boom is stretched out in front of the excavator, as low to the
ground as possible, with the arm crowded under the boom.
The tip of the arm point must be lowered to secure blocking that
will safely support the weight of the arm. Place the blocking
directly in front of the excavator and make sure that it will not be
unbalanced with an initial weight load that is all to one end,
under the arm point.
Shut off the engine and release hydraulic system pressure -
move any of the control levers with the engine off to release
pressure built up in the accumulator. Manually vent residual
hydraulic pressure in the tank by moving the lever near the cap,
on top of the reservoir.

WARNING
AVOID DEATH OR SERIOUS INJURY
Secure the swing lock and tag and lock out controls in the
operator's cabin to keep anyone from moving or
inadvertently starting the engine. Restrict access to the
work site while sections of the attachment are in the air, or
while they are being supported by the assist crane. The safe
lifting capacity of the assist crane or hoist that is used must
exceed the weight of the heaviest section of the attachment,
the boom (approximately 3,825 kg (8,433 lb), not including
the weight of accessories or fixtures).

Before beginning the disassembly of attachment mounting pins,


disconnect the arm cylinder hydraulic hose couplings and put a
clean plug in the end of each one. Use any reasonable
precautions necessary to avoid introducing dirt or other
contaminants into the hydraulic system. Wipe down coupling
points before disconnecting hydraulic lines and use evaporative
type solvent spray cleaner. Tag and mark hoses for reassembly,
if necessary.
Place a sling under the arm cylinder (the cylinder used to extend
and retract the attachment arm, pinned to the top of the boom).
Lift the sling so the weight load on the rod end of the arm
cylinder (pinned to the ears on the inner end of the arm) is
released. Prepare blocking under the arm that will securely
support the weight of the arm and arm cylinder.

DX480LCA-K/DX520LCA-K Boom and Arm


7-1-5
IMPORTANT
To make sure that polished surfaces of cylinder rod ends
are not damaged during disassembly or removal
procedures, wrap exposed rod surfaces (especially those of
boom cylinders) with a protective covering material.
Immediately the following disassembly and removal,
cylinder rods should always be fully retracted. This eases
handling problems and avoids possible damage.

Remove retainers on the end of the mounting pin for the arm
cylinder rod end. Use the assist crane to relieve the weight load
and withdraw the pin. Lower the arm down to the blocking
support for any continued disassembly procedures.

Boom Removal
NOTE: Boom removal may be simplified if the shell of the
operator's cabin is taken off the turntable deck first.
Refer to the Operator's Cabin Removal procedure
before continuing, if both components are to be
removed from the excavator.
After the bucket, arm and arm cylinder have been removed,
lower the end of the boom to a stable, secure blocking support.
Attach the assist crane sling to the body of either boom cylinder,
break the mounting pin connection to the boom by tapping
through the pin from the same side of the boom and repeat for
the opposite cylinder.
Release hydraulic pressure and disconnect line couplings as
previously outlined in the Arm Removal Procedure, observing
the same precautions.
Disconnect wiring for work light assemblies and any other
accessory lines or connections. Locate the sling of the assist crane
near the center of gravity, optimum lift point for the boom, and use
the crane to take pressure off the boom foot pin. Drive out the pin
after disassembling retainers and carefully lift away the boom.

WARNING
AVOID DEATH OR SERIOUS INJURY
If either the front attachment or counterweight has been
removed, stability of the excavator will be affected. Never
travel with the excavator, swing the turntable or drive over
uneven or sloping terrain if one of these components have
been removed. Tipping or a rollover could result in death or
serious injury.

To maintain stability, the counterweight must be removed


whenever the front attachment is taken off the machine.

INSTALLATION

Arm Installation
Reattach the base of the arm cylinder to the mounting point on
top of the boom.

WARNING
AVOID DEATH OR SERIOUS INJURY
Before assembling the front attachment, make sure that
individual boom, arm and bucket sections are all
compatible for work intended. Refer to the General Safety
Pages, Lift Ratings, Working Range Diagrams and Weights
of Materials sections in the Operation & Maintenance
Manual. Consult your dealer or DOOSAN After Sales
Service for more information if you have any questions.

Begin with the arm securely supported on blocking in front of the


excavator. Pregrease the mounting pin for the rod end of the
arm cylinder and push it through the ears on the end of the arm.
Attach a sling around that mounting pin and lift the arm with an
assist crane until it is in position for the boom-arm pin
connection to be made.
Relieve hydraulic pressure from all points of the system before
any hydraulic lines are opened, then carefully assemble
hydraulic connections to the arm cylinder.
Remove sling from around the rod end arm cylinder pin,
withdraw the pin and lift the body of the arm cylinder to repin the
mounting connection.

Boom Installation
Before reassembling the attachment, make sure to inspect all
bushings and pivot points of each section. To avoid damaging
the seats, bushings should never be hammered or chiseled out
of their seats.
Installation is otherwise a reversal of the removal procedures.

COMPLETING WORK
Once the boom has been serviced, it must be lubricated as
outlined in the initial start-up procedures of the operation
manual. Refer to the appropriate Operation & Maintenance
Manual for unit.

BUCKET TOOTH INSPECTION
AND REPLACEMENT
There are several different types of attachment methods for
replaceable bucket tooth. Some of the most common types are
shown in the following drawings.
Bucket tooth are usually replaced in sets but it may sometimes
be necessary to replace individual teeth.
Look for the following indications of wear or damage:
• Lock pins protrude unevenly on one side.
• Lock pins have been worn down so far that they no longer
make full contact through the length of the pinhole.
• Lock washers or pins show obvious damage or weakness.
• Wear points on the working surfaces of tooth points - pits,
cracks, chips or craters - are larger than 8 mm to 10 mm
(1/3" to 1/2") across.

When removing the pins, place the bucket so it is in
light contact with the ground. If the bucket is lowered
B
strongly to the ground, the resistance will be
increased and it will be difficult to remove pins. FG018431

After removing the pins, make sure that mud or sand Figure 10
does not get on them.
Dust seals are installed at both ends of the bushings,
be careful not to damage them.

2. Remove double nut on the stopper bolt for arm pin (A) and

Theory of Operation
The axial piston variable double pump with two axial tapered
piston rotary groups with bent-axis design for open-circuit
hydrostatic drives. The axial piston variable double pump has a
common suction port (S) for both circuits and the auxiliary pump.
It generates two flows for supplying two separate circuits. 
Flow is proportional to drive speed and displacement. 
By adjusting the bent-axis rotary groups, the two flows can be
steplessly changed independent of one another. For axial piston
units with bent-axis design, the pistons (3) are arranged at an
angle to the driveshaft (1). When the driveshaft is turned, the
cylinder (4) is picked-up and set into motion cardan free by the
pistons, which are arranged in a ring on and flexibly connected
to the driveshaft flange. The cylinder then rotates over the
spherical control lens (5), in which two kidney-shaped control
slots have been incorporated. As they turn, each of the pistons
moves from top to bottom dead center and back, executing a
stroke that depends on the swivel angle. The driveshaft flange of
both rotary groups, which lie parallel next to one another, are
interlocked. The rotary group with the long driveshaft drives the
second rotary group by way of the interlocked drive-shaft flange.
On the low-pressure side, fluid flows into the enlarging piston
chamber. At the same time, on the pressure side the fluid is
pushed out of the cylinder chamber into the hydraulic system by
the pistons. The pistons are braced against the driveshaft flange
by the load of the hydraulic pressure.

Increasing and Decreasing Flow Rate


Changing inclination of cylinder (4, Figure 7) causes the piston (3,
Figure 7) stroke to increase or decrease depending on the slant
angle in order to control the main pump flow rate. 
Up-down movement of positioning piston (7, Figure 7) changes
inclination of cylinder (4, Figure 7). 
Positioning piston (7, Figure 7) is interlocked with control lens (5,
Figure 7) positioning pin (8, Figure 7). 
The one end of cylinder (4, Figure 7) is kept in contact with the
surface of control lens (5, Figure 7) and slides along it.

Pressure Control
As the magnetic pump discharge pressure A1 and the relative
pump pressure A2 rise, the pump's swivel angle (discharge flow
rate) is automatically decreased to limit the input torque under a
certain level. (While the RPM is constant, the input power (HP)
is constant as well.)
As the system is operated with the combined load pressure of
double pumps in parallel, the regulator for each pump is
controlled with the same swivel angle (discharge flow rate)
during power control.
This mechanism prevents overload of the motor regardless of
load application on two pumps.

Decrease of Pump Pressure
1. Decrease input pressure signal to EPPRV.
2. Regulator spool moves upward and connect the pump
pressure to head side of control piston.
3. Control piston moves right and decrease swash plate.
4. Decreasing flow rate decreases pump pressure.

Flow Control
As shown in the figure below, the pump's discharge flow rate is
arbitrarily controlled according to change in the pilot pressure.
The servo valve is a negative flow control type to decrease the
main pump's discharge flow rate according to increase of the
pilot pressure.
Therefore, fuel consumption can be decreased during operation
by discharging only the required amount of oil with pilot
pressure.

Main Pump DX480LCA-K/DX520LCA-K


8-1-18
Decrease Oil Flow
When receiving high negacon pressure through the port ps1 or
ps2 from the control valve by the operating signal (neutral
position), pressure in the large-diameter chamber is increased.
Even though pressure is always built in the small-diameter
chamber, their volumetric difference pushes the servo piston,
decreasing the angle of the swash plate and reducing the
discharge flow rate of the pump. As the pump's discharge flow
rate is minimized, power loss and heat by excessive oil flow from
cut-out valve are prevented.

Increase Oil Flow
When receiving low negacon pressure through the port ps1/ps2
by operation of each spool of the control valve through the pilot
line, oil flows to the large-diameter chamber, control piston and
drain port, so pressure in the large-diameter chamber is
decreased. As the small-diameter chamber is always applied
with discharge pressure, the swivel angle is increased to push
the servo piston. Then, the angle of the swash plate is increased
to maximize the pump's discharge flow rate, making an efficient
operating condition.

Power Shift
The power shift function controls the setting power of the pump
by changing current of the EPPR (Electronic Proportional
Pressure Reducing) valve which is attached to the pump.
The power shift EPPR valve sends its secondary pressure to the
power control section of each pump regulator through the
internal passage of the pump to change power to the same
level. With this mechanism, power of the pump can be arbitrarily
adjusted in order to obtain optimum level of power suitable for
various operating conditions.

INSTALLATION

WARNING
INCORRECT INSTALLATION CAN CAUSE DEATH OR
SERIOUS INJURY
Any change in the connections will lead to malfunctions.
• When connecting hydraulic components, observe the
specified piping according to the hydraulic schematic
diagram of the machine.

1. Perform installation in the reverse order to removal.


2. When installing the pump to engine, be careful assembling
pump shaft and drive coupling. Refer to drive coupling
installation.

COMPLETING WORK
NOTE: If pump is run without sufficient oil in the main
hydraulic pump, damage can occur. Always vent
pump of air after draining hydraulic system.
1. With the engine stopped, remove vent plug (Figure 48) to
see if any oil is present.
2. If oil is not present, fill oil tank with oil.
3. Install vent plug (Figure 48) first.
4. Slowly loosen vent plug (Figure 48) several turns, until
hydraulic oil flows out of plug. This shows that air has been EX1401260
released.

Retaining force:
After rotary group has been installed into housing, it has to be
pressed in until end stop is reached. Allow housing to cool down
from its assembly temperature (approximately 80°C) to room
temperature.

Adjustment of the Hydraulic Component of the Rotary Group


The adjustment of dimension "D" is done using spring plates of
differing thickness, so correct clearance is achieved between the
rotary group which is installed in housing and center pin, and
spring plates.
NOTE: Dimension (D) = 0.4 ±0.1 mm.
After assembling complete unit, the breakaway torque of the
rotary group has to be checked with a torque wrench.

TROUBLESHOOTING
The following table can assist you in troubleshooting. The table
makes no claim for completeness.
In practical use, problems which are not listed here may also occur.

How to Proceed for Troubleshooting


1. Always act systematically and targeted, even under
pressure of time. Random and imprudent removal and
readjustment of settings could result in the inability to
ascertain the original error cause.
2. First obtain a general overview of how your product works
in conjunction with the entire system.
3. Try to determine whether the product worked properly in
conjunction with the entire system before the error
occurred.
4. Try to determine any changes of the entire system in which
the product is integrated.
• Were there any changes to the product's application
conditions or operating range?
• Were there any changes (conversions) or repairs on
the complete system (machine/system, electrics,
control) or on the product? If yes, which?
• Has the hydraulic fluid been changed?
• Was the product or machine operated as intended?
• How did the malfunction appear?
5. Try to get a clear idea of the error cause. Directly ask the
(machine) operator.
6. If you cannot rectify the error, contact one of the contact
addresses which can be found under:

GENERAL DESCRIPTION

When All Spools are in Neutral

Neutral Passage (Figure 1 and Figure 2)


1. Oil supplied to port (P1) flows through neutral passage (L1)
to low pressure relief valve throttle (Lc1), to tank passage
(Ta), and returns to ports (T1 and T3).
2. Oil supplied to port (P2) flows through neutral passage
(R1), to low pressure relief valve throttle (Rc1), to tank
passage (Ta), and returns to ports (T1 and T3).
3. The pressures of low pressure relief valve chambers (L2
and R2) reach through ports (Ps1 and Ps2) to pumps, and
control displacement of pumps (P1 and P2).
4. If too much oil flows into neutral passages, low pressure
relief valves are activated, and protect ports (Ps1 and Ps2)
from rising pressures.

Signal Passage (Figure 2)
1. Oil supplied to port (PP, Figure 2), after passing through
orifice (Lc3), is divided into two flows. One flow is sent to
port (PT), and the other flows through land (Lc4) and
passage (5) to land (Rc3) and into tank passage (Ta).
2. The same oil supplied from port (PP), after passing
through orifice (Lc5), flows partly to port (PA) and passes
partly through passages (L4), (8) and (R4), to boom spool
1 land (Rc4) and flows into tank passage (Ta).
3. The oil passing through orifice (Lc6) flows partly from land
(Lc7), to tank passage (Ta), and passes partly through
passage (4) to travel spool land (Rc5) and flows into tank
passage (Ta).

Single Operation

Travel Spool Shifting (Figure 3 and Figure 4)


1. When shifting travel spool by increasing pressure of travel
(section 1) pilot port (Pb1 (Pa1)), oil supplied to port (P1)
flows through neutral passage (L1), to spool, and flows to
port (B1 (A1)). Return oil flows through port (A1 (B1)) to
spool and returns to tank passage (Ta).
2. When shifting travel spool by increasing pressure of travel
(section 6) pilot port (Pb6 (Pa6)), oil supplied to port (P2)
flows through neutral passage (R1), and spool, to passage
(S6-1) and flows to port (B6 (A6)). At this time poppet (S6-
2) is not opened because parallel passage (R3) pressure
equals passage pressure (S6-1). Return oil flows through
port (A6 (b6)) to spool and returns to tank passage (Ta).
3. When shifting either spool (section 1 or 6), land (Lc4) or
(Rc3) is closed. Oil supplied from port (PP) does not flow
into tank passage, so that pressure at port (PT) rises.

pressure of boom 1 pilot port (Pa7), neutral passage (R1)
is closed. Oil supplied to port (P2) flows through parallel
passage (R3), and load check valve (S7-1), to spool and
flows into port (A7). When boom 2 (section 3) spool is
shifted by increasing pressure of boom 2 pilot port (Pa3)
also, neutral passage (L1) is closed. Oil supplied to port
(P1) flows through parallel passage (L3), load check valve
(S3-1), and spool to passage (6) and it then joins at port
(A7). Return oil flows through port (B7) to spool and returns
to tank passage (Ta).

3. Boom down (regeneration) (Figure 7)
When boom spool 1 (section 7) is shifted by increasing
pressure of boom 1 pilot port (Pb7), neutral passage (R1)
is closed. Oil supplied to port (P2), flows through parallel
passage (R3), and load check valve (S7-1), to spool, and
flows into port (B7). When spool (AD3) of anti drift valve is
shifted by increasing pressure of port (Pc2) also, poppet
(AD1) is opened by decreasing of pressure in spring
chamber (AD5), and return oil from port (B7) returns to
tank passage. Some return oil opens poppet (S7-3), in
boom 1 spool, flows through passage (S7-2), it then joins
with port (B7), and prevents cavitation on cylinder rod side.

8-2-13
Spare Spool Shifting (Figure 8)
1. When spare spool is shifted by increasing pressure of
spare (section 4) pilot port (Pb4 (Pa4)), neutral passage
(L1) is closed. Oil supplied to port (P1) flows through,
parallel passage (L3), load check valve (S4-1), passage
(S4-2), and spool, into port (B4 (A4)). When neutral-cut
spool (R) is shifted by increasing pressure of port (pa10)
(Figure 1) also, oil supplied from port (P2) flows through
passage (11), and poppet (S4-3), it then joins with passage
(S4-2). Return oil returns through port (A4 (B4)) and spool
to tank passage (Ta).

Bucket Spool Shifting (Figure 8)


1. When bucket spool is shifted by increasing pressure of
bucket (section 8) pilot port (Pb8 (Pa8)), neutral passage
(R1) is closed. Oil supplied to port (P2), flows through,
parallel passage (R3), load check valve (S8-1), passage
(S8-2), and spool, into port (B8 (A8)). When neutral-cut
spool (L) is shifted by increasing pressure of port (Pa11)
(Figure 1) also, oil supplied from port (P1) flows through
passage (7) and poppet (S8-3), it then joins with passage
(S8-2). Return oil returns through port (A8 (B8)) and spool
to tank passage (Ta).

Arm Spool Shifting
1. Arm dump (2 speed junction) (Figure 9)
When arm spool 1 is shifted by increasing pressure of arm
1 (section 5) pilot port (Pb5), oil supplied from port (P1)
flows through, neutral passage (L1), load check valve (S5-
1), passage (S5-2), and spool, into port (B5). When arm 2
spool is shifted by increasing pressure of arm 2 (section 9)
pilot port (pb9) also, oil supplied from port (P2) flows
through neutral passage (R1), load check valve (S9-1),
passage (S9-2), spool, and passage (10), it then joins with
port (B5). Return oil returns through port (A5) and spool to
tank passage (Ta).

8-2-15
2. Arm crowd (2 speed junction)
When arm spool 1 is shifted by increasing pressure of arm
1 (section 5) pilot port (Pa5), oil supplied from port (P1)
flows through, neutral passage (L1), load check valve (S5-
1), passage (S5-2), and spool, into port (A5). When arm 2
spool is shifted by increasing pressure of arm 2 (section 9)
pilot port (pa9) also, oil supplied from port (P2) flows
through neutral passage (R1), load check valve (S9-1),
passage (S9-2), spool and passage (9), it then joins with
port (A5). When spool (AD3) of anti drift valve is shifted by
increasing pressure of port (pc1) also, poppet (AD1) is
opened by decreasing of pressure of spring chamber
(AD5), and return oil from port (B5) returned through spool,
passage (S5-3) and arm variable regeneration throttle
(Lc8) to tank passage (Ta). Some of return oil open poppet
(S5-4) in boom 1 spool, flows through passage (S5-2), it
then joins with port (A5), increases cylinder speed, and
then prevents cavitation on cylinder bottom side.
3. Variable regeneration (when crowding) (Figure 10)
When crowding arm, spool (S5-6) is stroked according to
pressure of passage (S5-2) connected to passage (S5-5),
and opening size of arm variable regeneration throttle
(Lc8) varies. When pressure of passage (S5-2) is high,
stroke of spool (S5-6) is increased, so that opening size of
throttle (Lc8) is increased. In contrary, when pressure of
passage (S5-2) is low, stroke of spool (S5-6) is decreased,
so that opening size of throttle (Lc8) is decreased.
Therefore regeneration flow varies according to pressure
of bottom of arm cylinder.

Neutral-cut Spool Shifting (Figure 11)
1. This valve has a neutral-cut spool that is installed in lowest
flow side (the upper flow side of low pressure relief valve).
When spool (L (R)) is shifted by increasing pressure of port
(pa10 (pa11)), neutral passage (L1 (R1)) is closed. Oil
supplied to port (P1) flows through passage (7) and poppet
(S8-3, Figure 8), it then joins with bucket (section 8)
passage (S8-2, Figure 8). Oil supplied to port (P2) flows
through passage (11) and poppet (S4-3, Figure 8), it then
joins with spare (section 4) passage (S4-2, Figure 8).

Parallel Throttle for Arm (Figure 11)


1. The throttle, that is installed in the parallel circuit for arm of
this valve, one in each of arm 1 (section 5) and the arm 2
(section 9) prevents the arm speed from increasing during
combined operation.
2. The parallel circuit of arm 2 (section 9), after narrowing at
the throttle (Rc6) in poppet (S9-3) allows oil from parallel
passage (R3), to join with oil in passage (S9-2, Figure 11).
3. The parallel circuit of arm 1 (section 5), after narrowing at
the throttle (Lc9) in poppet (S5-8) allows oil from parallel
passage (L3), to join with oil in passage (S5-2, Figure 10).

Relief Valve
1. Main relief valve (Figure 12)
Oil supplied to port (P1) flows through poppet (LP), oil
supplied from port (P2), flows through poppet (RP), and
passage (3) also, it then joins with the main relief valve.
The highest pressure of pump (P1) and (P2) is controlled
by actuating of main relief valve.
2. Over load relief valve
The over load relief valve, that is installed in each cylinder
port of boom 1, arm 1 and bucket, prevent the actuator
pressure from increasing to extremely high pressures by
external forces.
This relief valve, when pressure of cylinder port is a
negative pressure, also has the function to prevent
cavitation by drawing oil from the tank.

Combined Operation

Travel Combined Operation (Figure 13)


1. When applying simultaneously the operation except travel
while travel left and right simultaneous operating (while
forward traveling, backward traveling, or pivot turning) or
when applying travel left and right simultaneous operating
while applying the operation except travel, oil supplied from
port (PP) is disconnected with the tank passage (Ta) at the
signal land part of section of exception of travel shifted with
the land (Lc4) (Lc7) (Rc3) (Rc5), and the pressure of signal
passage increases up to the relief setting pressure of
pressure source for signal.
By increasing of signal pressure, the travel straight spool is
shifted and the pressures of ports (PT) and (PA) increase.
When travel straight spool is shifted, oil supplied from port
(P1) flows through neutral passage (L1), to travel (section
1), and simultaneously flows through, passage (2), travel
straight spool, and passage (R1), into travel (section 6). Oil
supplied to port (P2) flows through, travel straight spool
and passage (1) into parallel passage (L3).
If the section load pressure except the travel is higher than
the travel (section 6) load pressure, some oil supplied from
port (P2) opens poppet (S6-2), it then joins through throttle
in head of poppet with passage (S6-1).
Because travel (section 1 and 6) is activated by oil supplied
from port (P1) and the implement except the travel is
activated by oil supplied from port (P2), when applying the
combined operation with the travel left and right
simultaneous operation and the implement operation
except the travel, the travel is prevented from veering.

Swing Combined Operation (Figure 14)
1. When applying the combined operation with the swing and
another implement, poppet (S2-1) is fixed by increasing
port (pc6) pressure, poppet (S2-3) is opened, and pressure
supplied to port (L3) is increased through throttle (S2-4).
Accordingly, even in the case that the swing load pressure
is low, the simultaneous operation character with the other
implement can be secured.

8-2-22
Anti Drift Valve
1. The anti drift valve is installed in the cylinder port of arm
rod (boom bottom) side to prevent the arm (boom) cylinder
from natural lowering.
In neutral condition (Figure 15), cylinder port pressure is
sent through passage (AD2), spool (AD3), and passage
(AD4) to spring chamber (AD5).
Poppet (AD1) is completely closed by spring strength or
pressure differential due to difference of poppet sizes.
Figure 15

When arm dumping (boom up) (Figure 16) oil supplied


from pump opens poppet (AD1) it allows oil to flow to
cylinder port.

Figure 16

When crowding arm (boom down) (Figure 17), spool (AD3)


is shifted by increasing pressure of port (pc1 (pc2)), and oil
in spring chamber (AD5) is allowed to flow through,
passage (AD6) to drain port (DR1' (DR2')) This allows
poppet (AD1) to open and let return oil flow into tank
passage (Ta).

Figure 17

Main Relief Valve


1. The main relief valve is located between neutral oil
passage (HP, Figure 18) and low pressure oil passage
(LP). Pressurized oil flows into neutral oil passage (HP)
through orifice in the main poppet (C) to fill internal cavity
(D). Due to the difference in areas between (A) and (B), on
which hydraulic pressure acts, main poppet (C) seats on
sleeve (E).

Figure 18

DX480LCA-K/DX520LCA-K Main Control Valve


8-2-23
2. When pressure in neutral oil passage (HP) rises and
exceeds relief valve setting, pilot poppet (F) opens.
Pressurized oil flows through pilot poppet (F) into low
pressure oil passage (LP), passing through hole (G).

Figure 19

3. As pilot poppet (F) opens, pressure in internal cavity (D)


lowers to move main poppet (C) so that pressurized oil
flows into neutral oil passage (HP) and directly into low
pressure oil passage (LP).

Figure 20

4. Pressure up operation
When pressure at pilot port (Pi) is increased, piston (H)
moves to the pressure setting position of plug (I) so that
the force of spring increases, thus increasing pressure in
the neutral oil passage (HP).

Figure 21

Overload Relief Valve


1. The overload relief valve is located between cylinder port
(HP) and low pressure oil passage (LP). Pressurized oil at
cylinder port (HP), flows through an orifice in piston (C), to
fill internal cavity (G). Due to the difference in area
between (A) and (B) on which the hydraulic pressure acts,
main poppet (D) seats on sleeve (K).

then flows through pilot poppet (E) into low pressure oil
passage (LP), passing through hole (H).

Figure 23

3. As pilot poppet (E) opens, pressurized oil flows through


orifice (I) so that pressure on back of piston (C) lowers to
move piston (C). As a result, piston (C) seats on pilot
poppet (E).

Figure 24

4. Pressurized oil in passage (HP) flows through orifice (F) in


piston (C) so that pressure on back of main poppet (D)
moves main poppet (D). Pressurized oil then flows into
passage (HP) and directly into passage (LP).

Figure 25

5. Sucking operation
An anti void unit is installed in cylinder port (HP) to prevent
the development of cavitation. If pressure at cylinder port
(HP) becomes lower than that of oil passage (LP), sleeve
(K) moves so that oil is supplied from the low pressure oil
passage (LP) to cylinder port (HP) to eliminate cavitation.

Low Pressure Relief Valve
1. When oil does not pass

Figure 27

2. When spool is in neutral


Oil in neutral oil passage (HP) flows through signal orifice
(A) into low pressure oil passage (LP). The pressure of the
signal port (4Ps (5Ps)) increases by the negacon signal
orifice (A).

Figure 28

3. Low pressure relief valve operation


When the excessive quantities of oil in the neutral oil
passage (HP) flow, pressure in neutral oil passage (HP)
exceeds spring setting pressure (C). This causes poppet
(B) to open. Oil then flows from neutral oil passage (HP)
into low pressure oil passage (LP) so excessive pressure
is prevented in neutral oil passage (HP).

Adjustment of Relief Valve

Main Relief Valve


1. Connect an accurate pressure gauge to inlet port.
2. Start engine and maintain rated pump speed.
3. Shift control valve spool and read pressure gauge from
stroke end of cylinder.
NOTE: Shift a spool that the actuator pressure setting
of the over load relief valve is higher than the
pressure of the main relief valve.
4. High pressure adjustment (See Figure 74 on page -60).
A. Loosen lock nut (5) and tighten plug (6) until piston
contacts the end (* mark) of plug (4). Plug (6) should
be torqued below 2 kg.m (15 ft lb). While plug (6) is
tightened, plug (4) should not be turned. The distance
A (See Figure 18 on page -23) should be more than
15 mm (0.59 in). Tighten lock nut (5).
B. Loosen lock nut (3) and turn adjusting plug (4)
clockwise to raise relief pressure at the condition of
step A. Turn adjusting plug (4) counterclockwise to
lower relief pressure. One turn varies pressure by
approximately 25.7 MPa. Tighten lock nut (3) after
pressure has been adjusted.
5. Low pressure adjustment
A. Loosen lock nut (5) and turn adjusting plug (6)
counterclockwise to lower relief pressure at step 4.
One turn varies pressure by approximately
21.3 MPa.Tighten lock nut (5) after pressure has
been adjusted.
B. Recheck the setting pressure by raising pressure.

Over Load Relief Valve

IMPORTANT
If pressure of main relief valve is higher than the specified
pressure for it, change main relief valve assembly setting
without adjusting over load relief valve.

1. Shift the control valve spool and read the pressure gauge
from the stroke end of the cylinder.
2. Loosen lock nut (3) and turn adjusting plug clockwise to
raise pressure. One turn varies pressure by approximately
21.2 MPa.
3. Tighten lock nut (3) after pressure has been adjusted. Lock
nut (3) should be torqued to 2.80 ~ 3.2 kg.m (20 ~ 23 ft lb).
4. Recheck the pressure setting again.

Theory of Operation

Hydraulic Motor
As shown in the figure below, the high-pressure oil entering the
cylinder block through valve plate (1) inlet side port exerts
pressure on the piston, generating axial force F. The force F is
divided into the two vectors of force F1 which is perpendicular to
the swash plate (3) and F2 which is perpendicular to the shaft,
with the shoe (2) as the medium. With the piston and the
medium, the force F2 is transmitted to the cylinder block (4) and
generates rotational torque to the output shaft. On the cylinder
block, 9 pistons are arranged equidistantly, and rotational torque
is transmitted to the output shaft by the multiple pistons
connected to the inlet side of the high-pressure oil in
consequences.
Reversing the direction of oil flow will reverse the direction of
rotation of the output shaft.
Theoretical output torque T is calculated with the formula below;
P×q
T=
2×

P: effective differential pressure (kg/cm2)


q: volume per rotation (cc/rev)

Valve Casing
1. Anticavitation check valve
Since the system using this type of motor has no valve
which has counterbalance function, the motor may rotate
exceeding the feed oil flow.
To prevent cavitation, suck in deficient oil through the
check valve.

plunger (301) by the pressure Pg in the chamber g;
become the same, the relief valve starts to function.

Swing Device DX480LCA-K/DX520LCA-K


8-3-12
Here, the Pg is the pressure in the chamber g which is
pressurized by the oil through the orifice m, and when it
reaches the pressure defined by the spring (321) pressing
the piston (302), the piston starts to move to the left.

When the piston (302) reaches the end of the adjustment
plug (401), it cannot move further to the left, thus, the
pressure in chamber g becomes equal to Ps and the force
of the spring (321) becomes Fsp' (Figure 11).
Consequently, the pressure P varies as illustrated in
(Figure 11).
The pressure Ps at the final stage is expressed with the

4. Reactionless valve
When the direction switching valve of swing motor I
switched, high-pressure oil is supplied to the port A (or port
B) of the hydraulic motor. Then, the poppet of the
reactionless valve moves to the right, blocks the bypass
route and drives the rotating body (1, Figure 12).
Then, when the direction switching valve returns to neutral
position, the ports at both sides of the hydraulic motor are
blocked, but the rotating body would maintain its rotation
because of inertia and the momentum of inertia is
transmitted to the hydraulic motor through the reduction
gear, generating brake pressure at the port B (or port A)
which stops the rotating body and tries to reverse the
direction of rotation.
By this brake pressure, the swing motor first stops and
then tries to reverse its direction of rotation and the
pressure at the port B tries to switch the poppet to the left,
but the action is delayed by the orifice at the port A. Now, a
bypass route is formed connecting the ports A and B
through which the high-pressure oil flows from port B to the
port A (2, Figure 12).
And, the poppet on the port B side moves to the left until it
blocks the bypass route (3, Figure 12).
As described above, in the process of reverse pressure
generation at the port B, the high-pressure oil is bypassed
to the port A to prevent reverse rotation and stop the swing
motor right away.

Brake Part
The cylinder block (108) is connected with the driveshaft (102)
by spline joint, and rotation of the separation plate (110) in
circumferential direction is restricted by the circular arc grooved
on the casing (115). When the friction plate (109), engaged with
the outer circumference of the cylinder with gears, is pressed to
the casing (115) by the brake spring (118) with the separation
plate (110) and brake piston (119) as the media. Friction force is
generated between the friction plate and casing, separation
plate and brake piston. This friction force restricts and brakes
the driveshaft.
When brake release pressure is applied to the oil chamber
formed between the brake piston and casing and this pressure
overcomes the spring force, the brake piston moves and the
friction plate is separated from the casing, and the brake is
released.

CAUTIONS FOR OPERATION
Inspection
Please check the followings before installing a new motor:
1. Check if there is any part damaged or missing (during
transportation).
2. Check if there is any loose joint.
3. Check that flange surfaces and the drain port cover are
properly assembled and there is no dust or other particle in
the motor.

Direction of Rotation
The relationship between the directions of oil flow and shaft
rotation is presented in Figure 17 and Table.
The direction of rotation differs by the direction of the slope of
casing.
Be careful for the direction of swing which is differentiated by the
shape of casing and direction of flange.

External Load at the End of Shaft
In principle, the end of the motor shaft must be free of any
external radial or thrust load.

Hydraulic Oil and Temperature Range


1. Oil type
The recommended oil is mineral type hydraulic oil added
with extreme pressure additive, foam suppressor,
antioxidant, and desiccant, having high viscosity index.
2. Optimal viscosity and temperature range of hydraulic oil
(Figure 18)
Maximum viscosity range is 10 - 1000 cSt, however,
recommended range is 10 - 200 cSt to obtain optimal
efficiency.
Temperature range is restricted between -25 - 100°C to
protect oil seals and O-rings. The highest recommended
temperature is 60°C or lower to prevent degeneration of
the oil and seals.

3. Other types of oils than mineral oils


Please contact us to use phosphoric acid ester,
water-glycol, or fatty acid ester oils.

Swing Device DX480LCA-K/DX520LCA-K


8-3-20
Filter
Dust or metal particles in hydraulic oil accelerate wear of sliding
surfaces or can cause sticking. Install 10 m filter in the oil
circuit to remove particles from the oil.
Regarding contamination, NAS Class 9 or lower or 2 - 4 mg/
100 cc in Millipore Filter contamination rating is recommended.

Installation and Piping


1. In principle, the motor shaft should face downward.
2. The deviation of centerline from the driven part must be
0.05 mm or less.
3. The tightening torque of the bolts used in mounting the
motor to bracket must be according to the specifications on
the outline drawings.
4. The casing must be always filled with oil.
The position of the oil drain of the motor must be as shown
in (Figure 19) to allow the casing be full of oil.
5. The maximum allowable pressure in the casing is 3 kg/
cm2, however, 2 kg/cm2 or less is recommended.
6. Clean the pipeline and perform flushing. EX1401278
Figure 19
7. Avoid excessive force at pipe joints.
8. Drain pipe must be the same or larger than the port size of
the motor, and as short as possible.

DX480LCA-K/DX520LCA-K Swing Device


8-3-21
Oil Filling and Air Ventilation
1. Starting operation, fill the casing with oil through drain port.
In the hydraulic motor, there are high-speed sliding motion
parts, such as bearing, piston, shoe and spherical bushing.
If oil is not fully filled, these sliding parts can cause sticking
or damage.
2. Air inside the hydraulic oil circuit or motor can cause Air Breather Port
malfunction or damage, thus, must be removed
completely.

Instructions before Starting to Operate


1. Check if there is any loose joint or other trouble in the DS1704266
pipeline. Figure 20
2. Check that direction of rotation is correct.
3. Check oil leaks from the hydraulic motor.
4. Check if abnormal vibration occurs during rotation or
operating direction switching valve.
5. Check if the oil temperature rise too fast.
6. Check that actual pressure is about the same as the
setting value.

Theory of Operation

Structure
The joystick valve contains four push rods, spring seat, spools
and return springs, which are in the valve casing. Moves the
spool of the main control valve by reducing the pressure of the
pilot pump from a first pressure to a second pressure.
The housing has six ports, which include input port P, tank port
T, and four secondary pressure ports.
The electric horn button is installed in the valve handle.
Gear pump pressure is used for operating control spools.

Function
1. Neutral position
When the joystick lever is in the neutral state, the spool is 1
pressed upward by the return spring and the spring seat.
The P-port is blocked by the lower part of the spool, and
the 4 operation ports are connected to the T-port by the 2
upperpart of the spool.

Figure 6

2. Half-operated state
When the joystick lever is moved, the push rod moves
downward, and the force thereof is transferred to the spool
through the spring seat and the control spring. When the
spool moves, the first pressure is transferred to the
operation ports through the spool.
When the lever spring stops in the halfway position, the
force of the compressed spring and the hydraulic pressure
caused by the second pressure applied upward because of
the difference in area of the upper and lower ends of the
spool create a state of equilibrium, and this pressure is
transferred to the spool of the control valve. That is, the
first pressure is transferred to the operation ports through
the spool as a hydraulic pressure (second pressure)
corresponding to the force of the compressed control DS1602149
spring.
Figure 7

Joystick Valve (Work Lever) DX480LCA-K/DX520LCA-K


8-4-8
3. Fully operated state
When the joystick lever is moved to its full extent, the lower
end of the push rod fully presses the spool seat to fully
compress the control spring.
The first pressure is transferred to the operation ports
through the spool, and the second pressure coming
through the spool overpowers the force of the control
spring, pushing the spool upward, and thus the spool is
restricted from movement by the push rod.
That is, when the joystick lever is fully pressed, the control
spring cannot perform its function and the spool is
restricted, making the first pressure and the second
pressure equal.

Overview
The pilot valve is a valve that controls the spool stroke, direction,
etc. of a main control valve.
This function is done by providing the spring at one end of the
main control valve spool and applying the output pressure
(secondary pressure) of the pilot valve to the other end.

Theory of Operation

Structure
The casing (spacer) has oil inlet port P (primary pressure), and
the oil outlet port T (tank). In addition the secondary pressure is
taken out through ports 1, 2, 3 and 4 provided at the bottom
face.

Pressure Reducing Valve


1. Neutral position
If pedal is in neutral, spool is pushed up by return spring
and spring seat. Port (P) is blocked by bottom part of spool
and four operating ports (left forward and backward, right
forward and backward) are connected to port (T) through
inner hole of spool.
2. Half-operated state
If pedal is moved, push rod moves down, and they transmit
this force through spring seat and control spring to spool. If
spool is moved, primary pressure is transmitted through an
inner hole of spool to operating port. If lever is stopped in
middle position, compressed control spring force and
secondary pressure transmitted through hole acts at
bottom part of spool, balance is maintained by hydraulic
force acted upward, and then this pressure is transmitted
to traveling spool of control valve. That is, primary pressure
is transmitted to operating port as secondary pressure
equivalent to control spring force compressed by spool.
3. Fully operated state
If pedal is moved to a maximum, bottom part of push rod
presses spool seat to a maximum, and compresses control
spring to a maximum. Primary pressure is transmitted
through inner hole of spool to operation port, secondary
pressure transmitted through spool overcomes control
spring force and pushes spool up, but spool is restricted by
push rod and does not move any more. That is, when
pedal lever is moved to a maximum, control spring does
not function, spool is restricted by push rod, and then
primary pressure equalizes to secondary pressure.

Damper Mechanism
1. Operation When Operating Lever
When pushing pedal, pushing force pushing push rod and
spool presses cylinder, return spring and hydraulic oil in
cylinder is compressed, piston coming down with push rod
compresses vibration prevention chamber of lower part, oil
of vibration prevention chamber of lower part is flowed
through orifice to oil pressure vibration prevention chamber
of upperpart of low-pressure, now, ball check valve
becomes closing condition because high-pressure
operates to vibration prevention chamber of lower part.

Travel Control Valve (with Damper) DX480LCA-K/DX520LCA-K


8-5-8
2. Operation When Operating Lever In Neutral Condition
Climbing restoring force acting on push rod, raises piston
in oil pressure prevention chamber and compresses upper
oil pressure prevention chamber. This compression
operation of upper oil pressure prevention chamber
prevents the push rod from quickly rising by restoring
spring, and the damping force is generated.

At times it may be difficult to pinpoint the source of the problem.
The following table lists some of the possible problems, possible
causes and remedies. Refer to this table for possible causes
and remedies to assist in correcting the sometimes difficult
problems.
The table only lists some general problems, possible causes
and their remedies. Often the problem is not caused by the
failure of a single part but, may be the result of a combination of
problems from related parts and their components. Possible
problems other than the ones list are not being specified but that
is not to say that these are the only possible problems that can
occur. The technician must diagnose the problem, considering
all possible causes and repair the source of the malfunction.

Detailed Functions and Operations of Solenoid Valves


1. Pilot Cut-off Solenoid Valve (C1)
It provides pressurized oil coming from the pilot pump to the;
• Breaker solenoid valve (C2)
• High/low travel speed solenoid valve (C3)
• Main pressure (power boost) increase solenoid valve
(C4)
• Breaker/shear mode selection solenoid valve (C5)
NOTE: Port "P3" from 5-solenoid valve assembly, is
connected to a 2-solenoid valve assembly that
is used to control a shear.
Pulling up the safety lever, located on the left side of the
operator's seat, allows the electrical power from the pilot
cutoff switch to activate the pilot cutoff solenoid valve. The
pilot cutoff solenoid valve then supplies pressurized oil to
each of the other solenoid valves.

DX480LCA-5K/DX520LCA-5K Solenoid Valve


8-6-9
2. Breaker Pressure Supply Solenoid (C2)
Pressing the breaker switch on the joystick operates the
breaker solenoid valve (C2). This supplies pilot pressure to
the option valve in the main control valve. The pilot
pressure shifts the option valve spool, which then allows
pressurized oil from the main pump to flow to the breaker
system for operation.
3. High/Low Travel Speed Solenoid (C3)
When the travel speed selector switch is moved to the "O"
position, the travel speed is set to low speed. The solenoid
valve is not activated.
When the travel speed selector switch is moved to the "I"
position the travel speed is set to high-speed. The solenoid
valve is activated.
When the travel speed selector switch is moved to the "II"
position, the travel speed switches to automatic.
NOTE: Turning the automatic travel switch to the "II"
position, the EPOS controller detects the
discharge pressure from the main pump, and
automatically turns the high travel speed control
"ON" or "OFF" depending on if the travel load is
high or low to switch the travel speed to speed
"I" or "II". The travel load is detected by two
pressure sensors located on the discharge line
of the front and rear pumps.
If the load is high (pressure about 294 bar
(300 kg/cm2, 4,264 psi)), the solenoid valve
turns "OFF" for travel at low speed.
If the load is low (pressure about 157 bar
(160 kg/cm2, 2,277 psi)), the solenoid valve
turns "ON" for the travel at high-speed.
If the engine control dial is set to 1,400 rpm or
below, however, the solenoid valve always
turns "ON" for the travel at low, though the
automatic travel switch is set to the automatic
travel (2nd place).
4. Main Pressure (Power Boost) Increase Solenoid (C4)
Pressing the power boost button on the work lever sends a
signal from the EPOS controller to activate the pressure
increase solenoid valve. This temporally increases the
pressure setting of the main relief valve to increase the
hydraulic power. When it is activate, the pressure setting of
the main relief valve increases from 331 bar (337 kg/cm2,
4,801 psi) to 348 bar (355 kg/cm2, 5,047 psi), which in turn
increases the hydraulic power.

5. Breaker/Shear Mode Selection Solenoid (C5)
The breaker/shear switch activates the solenoid valve
when the front option attachment is changed from shear to
breaker.
When the switch is set to breaker, pilot pressure is
supplied to shear valve shifting the spool inside. with the
pressurized oil from the main pump supplied to breaker.

FUNCTIONS AND OPERATION
The proportional reducing valve shall be adjusted that its
reduced pressure is proportional to the current of the solenoid.
The proportional solenoid shall be changed with pressure
proportional to the electrical input signal. Flow increases
corresponding to the force of the solenoid. As the solenoid (1)
receives pressure, the spool (4) opens and oil flows from P to A.
Pressure of the port A influences the top surface of the pin (5).
When it reaches the valve set of the solenoid, the spool starts to
move and oil flow from P to A decreases.

CAUTIONS FOR OPERATION


1. Wiring of the solenoid
• The solenoid has no polarity.
2. Input electricity
• Do not supply electric current more than 0.7A to the
solenoid coil.
3. Adjustment screw
• It was adjusted to the standard.
• The pressure of the port A increases when turning
the adjustment screw clockwise.

Accumulator DX480LCA-K/DX520LCA-K
8-8-2
GENERAL
The accumulator is a gas-charged storage device designed to 1
hold a reserve quantity of hydraulic fluid under pressure.
Accumulators are used in hydraulic circuits in much the same 2
way that condensers (or capacitors) are used to collect, store
and maintain electrical charge in a circuit.
In a hydraulic circuit, minor variations or lags in pump output that
might otherwise cause unsteady or irregular operation are made
up from the supply of pressurized oil in the accumulator.

Accumulators are solidly constructed to resist the high operating Figure 1
pressures of the fluids they contain. There are only three main
moving parts: a plug at the top allows precharging or expelling
gas from the compressible, precharged upper chamber; a valve
assembly at the bottom of the accumulator for passing hydraulic
fluid in and out, and an elastic diaphragm to separate the two
chambers. The flexible diaphragm changes shape to conform to
the changing pressures and volumes of the two fluids in the
upper and lower chambers.
There are six possible positions the diaphragm can be in and
they are as follows: Pressure Fluid Nitrogen

1. With no gas charge in the upper chamber 0 bar (0 psi,


empty) and no oil in the bottom 0 bar (0 psi, dry) the elastic
diaphragm hangs loosely.
2. When the prepressure charge of gas (usually nitrogen) is
introduced through the port at the top of the accumulator, the
diaphragm expands to maximum size. The valve button in the 1 2 3
center of the diaphragm pushes into the fluid opening in the
bottom chamber, sealing off the lower valve. If the pressure of
the gas charge exceeds system oil pressure, no fluid enters
the accumulator. The button also keeps the diaphragm from
protruding into the lower valve opening.
NOTE: Precharge pressure is referred to as the "P1"
pressure. The accumulator manufacturer's "P1"
rated pressure must be stamped or marked on 4 5 6
ARS1800L
the accumulator's rating plate. Annual checks of
actual precharge pressure must be made by Figure 2
tapping a hydraulic pressure gauge (and 3-way
adapter coupling) into the valve on the bottom
of the accumulator.
When hydraulic fluid is pushed out the lower
valve opening by the pressure of the gas charge
on the other side of the diaphragm - and there is
no counterpressure from system oil - the valve

DX480LCA-K/DX520LCA-K Accumulator
8-8-3
button on the bottom of the diaphragm
eventually seals off the lower oil passage. Just
after the needle on the gauge reaches its
highest point (when there is 0 bar (0 psi)
resistance from hydraulic system pressure)
pressure on the gauge will drop sharply to zero,
as the accumulator is completely emptied of oil
and the diaphragm button closes.
Record the highest gauge reading and compare to "P1"
rated precharge pressure on the accumulator
manufacturer's data label. Repeat this test at least once a
year to verify proper functioning of the accumulator.
3. As hydraulic system pressure overcomes accumulator
precharge pressure, the flexible diaphragm begins to
retract upward.
4. When system oil is at highest working pressure and the
accumulator fills to maximum reserve capacity, the flexible
diaphragm is pushed up into the top of the upper chamber.
The highest working pressure is sometimes referred to as
the "P3" pressure and can also be referenced on the
manufacturer's data label on the exterior of the
accumulator.
5. If system oil pressure begins to fall off or is momentarily
checked or interrupted, the energy stored on the other side
of the diaphragm, in the form of compressed gas, pushes
oil back out of the lower chamber, maintaining oil pressure
of the circuit.
6. With minimal system pressure, an equilibrium point may be
reached in which accumulator precharge pressure and
hydraulic system oil pressure achieve a rough balance. In
this condition a minimal amount of oil is stored in the
accumulator.

TROUBLESHOOTING, TESTING
AND ADJUSTMENT

Inspection
The center joint must be checked for evidence of external oil
leakage every 2,000 operating hours. Leaking or defective
O-rings are an indication that dirt and other contaminants could
be getting inside the assembly, which will promote accelerated,
abnormal wear and can cause early failure of the assembly.
If internal seals or other sliding surface components are worn
and there is internal fluid leakage, complete overhaul and repair
or replacement of the center joint can be required.

Testing
Pressure

To check pressure through the center joint, make up a test kit Gauge

from the following equipment list:


• 700 bar (10,000 psi) pressure gauge.
• Adapters, connectors, piping and flange block off plates
Swivel Joint
Body (Outer)

conforming to those used in high-pressure piping Swivel Joint


Stem (Inner)
connections of the excavator.
• A high-pressure relief valve with a setting pressure 1.5
times maximum system pressure.
• A stop valve.
Stop
Valve

• A manually operated, in-line changeover valve.


Manually-Operated

Install the changeover valve upstream from one of the stem Changeover Valve

high-pressure ports. Connect the pressure gauge downstream


from one of the body ports. Install the stop valve between the Relief
Valve
changeover valve and the stem of the center joint. Other (1.5x)

components must be installed according to the layout in the High Pressure


Pump
block diagram. The test kit is used to pressurize the center Tank

swivel above normal working pressure and lock in the higher 0370
pressure (as the stop valve is closed manually) for a leak down Figure 26
test.
The same type of kit can also be made up for the drain port
(return line) side of the center joint. Use appropriate piping,
connectors, test gauges, etc., and follow the same block
diagram general layout (Figure 26).

Theory of Operation

Hydraulic Motor (Brake Valve, Parking Brake, High-Low


2-Stage Switching Mechanism)

Function
1. Function of the hydraulic motor
The hydraulic motor is a swash plate type axial piston
motor, which converts the power of the pressurized oil from
the pump into rotational motion.
2. Function of brake valve
The brake valve included in the hydraulic motor performs
four functions as follows:
A. When the motor stops, brake the motor to control the
moment of inertia and stop the motor smoothly.
B. The function of a check valve is to prevent cavitation
of hydraulic motor.
C. To function as a relief valve which controls the brake
pressure of the hydraulic motor and anticavitation
valve to prevent cavitation.
D. While the travel motor operates, it opens the port
which releases the parking brake, and when the
motor stops, it close the port.
3. Function of high-low speed 2-stage switching mechanism:
Using the switching valve and control piston, the swivel
angle of the swash plate can be switched between
high-speed low torque and low-speed high torque stages.
4. Function of parking brake
The parking brake stops the excavator from a when parked
on a slope by using friction plate type brake mechanism.
The brake is integrated with the hydraulic motor.

(Y2) FG018751
Figure 5

The high-pressure oil from the hydraulic pump flows


through the rear flange (RF1) of the hydraulic motor, timing
plate (209), and into the cylinder block (204). The
high-pressure oil enters the cylinder through one side of
the line Y1 - Y2 which connects the top-bottom dead points
of the piston (205) stroke.
In the Figure 5 above, the high oil pressure is applied on
the piston (205), pushing the swash plate (203) with force
F1' (F1' = P x A, P: oil pressure, A: area), generating
reaction F1. The reaction force F1 is divided into thrust
component N1 and radial component W1 by the swash
plate (203) having swivel angle of . W1 is illustrated in the
above figure, and generated torque T = W1 x r1 in relation
to the line Y1 - Y2 which connects the top-bottom dead
points of the piston (205).
This torque which is the resultant torque (W1 x r1) x i of
the torques generated by the pistons (4 or 5) on one side
where high-pressure oil has passed, rotates the cylinder
block (204) connected to the piston (205), and the cylinder
block (204) transmits rotational torque to the driveshaft
(202) connected by spline shaft.

The relief valve performs the following functions.

Chamber D Chamber C Poppet A

A1
Piston Chamber g Poppet A
A2
FG018752
Figure 6

A. The high-pressure oil entering chamber A by


counterbalance valve flows into chamber B in the
seat (See Figure 6). In the chamber B, the oil exerts
F1 = A1 x P1 of force on the cross-section A1 of
poppet A to push the poppet A to the left and the oil
flows from chamber A chamber B  chamber D.
While the poppet A is pushed to the left, the oil flows
from chamber B to chamber C through the orifice of
the poppet A. This high-pressure oil then pushes the
piston to the right through the orifice in the relief valve
body. When the piston reaches the end of the right
side (stroke end) by the oil, the oil is blocked from
chamber g to the spring chamber in the body. As the
resultant force of the oil pushing the area A2 of the
poppet A, which is F2 = A2 x P2, and the spring force
becomes higher than the force F1 = A1 x P1 exerted
on the area A1 of the poppet A, the poppet A and
seat are closed, and the oil flow through chamber A
chamber B  chamber D is stopped.
B. When the relief valve on the left is closed, the
pressure of the oil in the chamber A further increases.
This oil pressure is applied to the poppet B of the
relief valve on the right side. Since the force (F4 =
A4 x P3) applied on the area A4 of the poppet B
becomes larger than the force (F3 = A3 x P3) on the
area A3, the poppet B moves to the right and opens,
and the oil flows; chamber A  chamber E 
chamber D to operate the motor.
By controlling the pressure in chamber D in 2-stages,
the brake of the hydraulic motor is released smoothly
and the motor starts to run.

When releasing the brake, the high-pressure oil opens the


counterbalance spool (CB) assembled with the rear flange
(RF1), and apply pressure on the brake piston (212) to
release the brake. When oil does not exert pressure on the
piston, brake force is maintained by brake spring.
Brake force is generated by the spindle (101) and the
mating plate (216) assembled to the spindle (101), brake
piston (212) and the friction plate (215) coupled with
cylinder block (204) using spline.
When pressure is not applied, the brake piston, by the Reducing Valve
EX1400604
force of the brake spring (213), pushes the friction plate
and mating plate assembled with the spindle to generate Figure 8 Parking Brake Release
friction force. This friction force restrains the driveshaft
(202) which is coupled with the cylinder block using spline
to activate the brake.

(Counterbalance spool is in travel state (position 1 or 3))
The pressure of the oil entered through the A or B port is
reduced in the pressure reduction valve and enters the
brake piston chamber.
Here, although a small amount of oil is drained through the
orifice B (71), because high-pressure oil is supplied from
the counterbalance valve, the pressure in the brake piston
chamber overcomes the spring force and releases the
brake.
(Counterbalance spool is in neutral state (position 2))
Because high-pressure oil is not supplied, the pressure in
the brake piston chamber is low and the brake spring force
overcomes the pressure in the brake piston chamber, and
the brake is applied. Now, because the oil in the brake
piston chamber is drained through the orifice B (71), the
spool returns to neutral position, and delays braking until
motor stops to prevent damage to the friction plates.
4. How to release brake
Brake can be released by the following procedures without
supplying release pressure.

WARNING
AVOID DEATH OR SERIOUS INJURY
To prevent excavator from accidental rolling or
movement, always block excavator tracks (or wheels)
before releasing brake before servicing brake.

Remove 2 plugs (45) from the rear flange (RF1). Insert an


M10 x 135L bolt and join with the threaded part of the
brake piston to release the brake.
Now, the condition is the same as when brake release
pressure is supplied, and the brake is released.
• Socket Wrench: 6 mm, 8 mm
NOTE: If the hydraulic motor fails to rotate after
releasing the brake, the cause can be failure to
generate operating pressure because of a
pump problem.
To tow the system without disassembling the
hydraulic motor, connect short hoses to the
ports P1 and P2 of the pressure measure ports
and then tow the system at low speed.

5. Operation of counterbalance valve
Port (BV) is connected to hydraulic pump, while port (AV)
is connected to tank. Pressurized oil from hydraulic pump
passes through (BV) to (CV), from (CV) to (C), opening
check valve poppet and supplying to hydraulic motor
through (BM) port and then rotate the motor.
Also, if hydraulic pressure delivered from pump is
increased, pressurized oil flowing from gallery (G) passes
spring chamber (E), ball check valve, and then reaches
damping chamber (M).
If pressure in chambers (E) and (M) overpowers spring
(362) force which is designed to maintain neutral position
of spool, spool moves in Right Left direction. 
Working oil in (N) chamber flows through orifice (Q) to (F)
chamber, while working oil in chamber (F) passes (G) to
(AV) and then is drained to tank.
If hydraulic pressure delivered from pump is lowered,
pressure in (E) and (M) chambers also is lowered. 
As a result, spool is returned in direction Left Right by
spring (362) of chamber (F). 
Working oil in (M) chamber passes orifice (R) and is
delivered to (E) chamber, while working oil in (E) chamber
is delivered from path (G) to (BV) port. As a result, spool
moves in direction of Left Right.
If pressure in (BV) port is lowered down to tank pressure,
pressure in (E) and (F) chambers also becomes same as
tank pressure. As a result, spool returns to neutral position.

6. Operation of the swivel switching mechanism
Shoe (262) supports swiveling swash plate (203), and the
hemispherical pivots (267) at the both ends of the shoe
bear the load transmitted through the swash plate stopper.
For capacity change, the swivel angle of the swash plate is
controlled. The control mechanism opens the swivel piston
(261) at the swash plate stopper part and controls the
hydraulic oil into and out of the piston chamber with swivel
control valve, which leads to control the swivel angle of the
swash plate in 2 positions of large and small.

When pilot pressure is not supplied, by the force of the


2-speed spring (66) of the 2-speed spool (65) and the oil
pressure of port (A) or port (B), the 2-speed spool is
pushed up and the oil at port (C) is cut-off.
The high-pressure oil in chamber (P) is drained into motor
case by the 2-speed spool (65).
Consequently, the swash plate (203) has the maximum
swivel angle 1 and the displacement of the hydraulic
motor piston becomes maximum, resulting in low speed
rotation.

When pilot pressure is supplied through port D


(pressure: kg/cm2), the pressure overcomes the force of

port (B), pushing down the 2-speed spool and the oil at
port (C) flows into chamber (P) by 2-speed spool (65). The
high-pressure oil entered the chamber (P) pushes the
2-speed piston (261) until swash plate (203) contacts
surface X.
Consequently, the swash plate (203) has the minimum
swivel angle 2 and the displacement of the hydraulic
motor piston becomes minimum, resulting in high-speed
rotation.

Operation of the Reduction Gear
The reduction gear consists of 3-stage planetary and differential
mechanism, as illustrated in the figure above.
Since the sun gear is designed in a floating structure, the life
span of the gear depends upon the accuracies of the gear teeth Input (Output of hydraulic motor)
and the carrier pinholes.
The rotational power of the hydraulic motor is transmitted to the
drive gear (D) which drives the No. 1 planetary gear (P1). The
No. 1 planetary gear (P1) transmits rotatory force to the cover
gear (C) in the direction of the tangential force of the drive gear AUS0610L
(D). As the cover gear (C) is fixed, the reaction force of the Figure 12
rotatory force is generated and rotates the No. 1 carrier (C1).
That is, the No. 1 planetary gear (P1) revolves, not rotates. The
rotation of the No. 1 carrier (C1) is transmitted to the No. 2 sun
gear (S2) as 1-stage output. (the No. 1 carrier and the No. 2 sun
gear are coupled with splines.)
In the above described principle, the revolution of the No. 2
planetary gear (P2) is transmitted to the No. 3 sun gear (S3) by
the No. 2 carrier (C2). Hear, since the No. 3 pin supporting the
No. 3 planetary gear (P3) is fixed, the No. 3 planetary (P3)
drives the ring gear (R) by both revolution and rotation.
Consequently, the rotating drum is driven by the resultant power
of the cover gear and ring gear.
The reduction gear ratio is as follows

(ZD + ZC) (ZS2 + ZR) (ZS3 + ZR)


i= -1
ZD x ZS2 x ZS3

ZD : number of the teeth of the drive gear


ZC : number of the teeth of the cover gear
ZS2: number of the teeth of the No. 2 sun gear
ZS3: number of the teeth of the No. 3 sun gear
ZR : number of the teeth of the ring gear
The direction of rotation is opposite to that of the input shaft.

scale, to not remove them until connecting the pipeline.
• Make sure to fill the motor case with hydraulic oil before
starting the motor.
• Determine the pipeline diameter so the back pressure at
the motor drain port is less than 3 bar (3 kg/cm2) (or less
than 3 bar at peak).

Theory of Operation
1 Piston
2 Oil Path A 1

3 Oil Path B D
Cylinder piston rods are extended or retracted by oil flow to the
back side of the cylinder (shown as ("oil path A") or to the front of 3
the cylinder ("oil path B"). 2
The cylinder rod is extended as oil flow is pumped through the
circuit to the back side of the piston. The force (F1) of the piston
stroke can be expressed by the formula below, where P = circuit FG001456
oil pressure and the inside diameter of the cylinder is expressed Figure 6
by D (Figure 6).

F1 = P x D2
4

(P: Pressure, = 3.14, D: Cylinder Inside Diameter)

1 Cylinder Inside Diameter - D


2 Oil Path A
4
3 Oil Path B
4 Rod Diameter - R
1
When the cylinder rod is retracted, oil flow through the circuit
from the pump to the front side of the cylinder generates a force 2
(F2) that can be expressed by the formula in which the diameter
3
of the piston rod is expressed by R, and the other two terms are
the same as in the preceding expression. FG001458
F2 = P x (D2-R2) Figure 7
4

Because the volume of oil needed to lengthen the cylinder rod


(Q1) is greater than the volume of oil required to retract the
cylinder rod, it takes more time to extend a cylinder than it does
to retract it. 1

Q1 = S x (D2)
4

Q2 = S x (D2-R2)

Q1 > Q2 FG001459

DISASSEMBLY

CAUTION
AVOID INJURY
Vent air from the hydraulic system before disconnecting
cylinder piping connections. Use the lever on the reservoir,
while the engine is running. Discharge the hydraulic
accumulator and vent residual tank pressure after the
engine is shut off. Pour clean replacement hydraulic fluid
into the system if excessive fluid is lost.

1. Following removal of cylinder from excavator attachment,


support cylinder on some type of sturdy work platform and
drain all oil. Rotate cylinder so piping ports are on top, to
allow trapped air to vent.

Figure 18

2. Position piston rod so it is extended approximately one half


meter (20").

Figure 19

3. Remove bolts (27) on the end of cylinder.


NOTE: Wrap a cloth or other protective material around
piston rod, to avoid possibility of accidentally
scratching or scoring rod surface while
fasteners are being loosened and removed.

REASSEMBLY

IMPORTANT
Before reassembly:
• Inspect and replace damaged or excessively worn
parts.
• Clean parts and lubricate with clean hydraulic oil.
• Make sure work area is clean.
Replace any part that shows evidence of damage or
excessive wear. Replacement of all O-rings and flexible
seals is strongly recommended. Before starting the cylinder
reassembly procedure, all parts must be thoroughly
cleaned and dried, and/or prelubricated with clean
hydraulic fluid. Prepare the work area beforehand to
maintain cleanliness during the reassembly procedure.

NOTE: Reassemble the subassemblies of the cylinder in the


following order:
1. Body of the cylinder.
2. Piston rod.
3. Piston assembly.
4. Cylinder head assembly.
1. Reassemble pin bushing (2), (4) to piston rod and body of
cylinder.

Figure 35

DX480LCA-K/DX520LCA-K Cylinders

2. Following reassembly of rod cover components, install the
dust wiper (11) and rod bushing (6) to the rod cover (5).
Insert retaining rings (7 and 12).

Figure 36

3. Prelubricate O-rings and seals before reassembly (Figure


37).

Figure 37

4. Before starting to rebuild piston assembly, heat slipper seal


for 5 minutes in an oil bath warmed to 150° - 180°C (302° -

ELECTRICAL SUPPLY SYSTEM
The electric power circuit supplies electric current to each
electric component. It consists of a battery, battery relay, starter
switch, circuit breaker and fuse box.
The negative terminal of the battery is grounded to the vehicle
body.
Even when the starter switch (5) is in the "OFF" position, electric
current is supplied to the following components through battery
(1)  circuit breaker (3)  fuse box (6).
1. Terminal "1" of DC-DC converter
2. Terminal "B" of starter switch
3. Hour meter
4. Engine controller
5. Fuel feeder pump switch
6. Terminal "6" of wiper motor
7. Terminal "13" of wiper controller
8. Terminal "CN7-5, CN7-6" of instrument panel
9. Terminal "CN9-6" of air conditioner panel
10. Cabin light
When the starter switch (5) is in the "ON or START" positions,
the current flows from the battery (1)  circuit breaker (3) 
fuse box (6) "B" terminal of starter switch (5)  "BR" terminal
of starter switch (5)  "BR" terminal of battery relay (2) which
activates the coil of the battery relay and the electric supply
system is energized.
When the battery relay's contacts are connected, all electric
devices can be operated.
While the engine is not running, the electric power for all electric
devices are supplied by the battery. Once the engine is started
the power is supplied from the alternator (7).

ENGINE STARTING CIRCUIT

Start Operation
When the starter switch is turned to the "START" position.
The pinion gear of the starter (9) is pushed forward and makes
contact with the ring gear of the flywheel and the internal
contacts of the starter are connected. The current flows from the
battery (1)  "B" terminal of the starter (9). The starter motor
activates the engine to start.
If the instrument panel has the password function activated,
input number should match the set number, otherwise the start
circuit closes and the engine does not start.
NOTE: If the security system is "LOCKED," a four-digit
Owner Password
password will be required to start the engine. If the
system is "UNLOCKED," no password will be
required and this display screen will not appear.
In the event the security system is locked, current
flows from battery (1)  circuit breaker (3)  fuse

terminal of starter switch (5)  "86" terminal of starter Enter Owner Password
relay (8)  "CN1-15" terminal of EPOS (12) 
ground. This current flow causes the coil in starter
relay (8) to be activated, opening contacts at "87a" EX1301416
terminal. This prevents starter relay (8) from Figure 2
functioning.

9-1-9
After Start
Once the engine has been started, the belt driven alternator (10)
generates a current.
If EPOS senses the frequency is over 450 rpm via Speed
sensor, current flows from battery (1)  fuse box (6)  "B"
terminal of starter switch (5)  "BR" terminal of starter switch (5)
 "86" terminal of starter relay (8)  "CN1-15" terminal of
EPOS (12)  ground.
This current flow causes the coil in starter relay (8) to be activated,
opening contacts at "87a" terminal.
As a result the rotation of the starter (9) is stopped. Once the
engine is running, the starter (9) will not operate even if the
starter switch (5) is moved to the start position, preventing
possible damage to the starter.

ENGINE PREHEATING SYSTEM
An air heater (8) is installed in the intake manifold of the engine.
When the starter switch (5) is turned "ON" the current flows from
the battery (1)  circuit breaker (3)  "C" terminal of preheat
relay (7)  "CN1-16" EPOS ground. This current flow causes
the coil in the preheat relay (7) to be activated, closing contact.
When the contacts of the preheat relay (7) are closed, the
heating coils of the air heating device are heated by current
flowing from the battery (1)  preheat relay (7)  air heater (8)
 ground.
The duration of the heating time is approximately 20 seconds.
After 20 seconds later to start preheating, the preheat indicator
light will be turned "OFF" by the timer in the EPOS controller.

ENGINE STOP
Engine Stop circuit consists of starter switch (5), engine stop
solenoid (9) and timer (8). The current flowing into the "ACC"
terminal of starter switch allows the engine’s start and stop
function.
When the key switch is "ON", the HOLD coil is energized, and
the PULL coil is energized for 1 second through timer. After 1
second, the power supply to the PULL coil is stopped, but the
PULL coil remains pulled by the magnetic field of the HOLD coil.
This is a state in which the engine can operate.
When the key switch is "OFF", the HOLD coil stops supplying
power and returns to its original position, the PULL coil also
returns to its original position.
At this moment the fuel supply to the engine is cut off and the
engine is turned off.

CHARGING SYSTEM
When the starter switch (5) is turned to the "ON" position, an
initial excited current flows to the field coil of the alternator (7)
through the battery relay (2) and circuit breaker (4). When the
engine is started from this condition the alternator (7) starts
charging. The current flows from the "B(B+)" terminal of
alternator (7)  circuit breaker (4)  battery relay (2) battery
(1).
The alternator also supplies electric current to other electrical
components. When the alternator (7) starts to operate, a current
flows from the "R(I)" terminal of alternator  diode (8)  battery
relay (2) coil securing a path for the charging current to the
battery (1). Thus preventing the possibility of a high voltage build
up and possible damage to the electric system.

Max Flow (ATT)/Min Flow (ATT)
The max flow (ATT) /min flow (ATT) can be set up as
the max/min flow rate value of the attachment by the
user according to the attachment's specifications.
For instance, if the relevant attachment's use
capacity is 90 ~ 120 lpm (23.8 ~ 31.7 gpm), the user
can set up 120 lpm (31.7 gpm) for the max. flow rate,
and 90 lpm (23.8 gpm) for the min. flow rate.

The user setting max flow is designed to set up the flow
rate segment of the attachment to be used by the user.
Within the above setup max. flow rate (pump), max.
flow rate (ATT), and min. flow rate (ATT) scope, the
user can set up the max. flow rate value of the
attachment to be used.
The setup method is the same as the above max

The power mode switch permits the selection of the appropriate
engine power depending on the working condition. One of the
two, Power Mode or Standard Mode, setting can be selected.
When the engine start switch is turned "ON," the power mode is
automatically defaulted to standard mode. The desired mode
can be selected by pressing the select button on the instrument
panel. When the power mode is selected, the indicator lamp will
turn "ON" to display the selected mode.
The quantity of oil discharged by the pump and the engine
speed are determined by the mode selected by the operator.
The pump output in each mode is determined by the mode
selection and is listed in the following table

Mode Economy Mode Standard Mode Power Mode


Output (%) Approximately 70% Approximately 85% 100%

DX480LCA-K/DX520LCA-K Electrical System

Operation

1. Power Mode
This mode should be selected for high speed work. In this
mode the engine output is most efficiently utilized due to
the discharged oil volume being controlled based on the
equivalent horsepower curve at various loaded pressures.
The EPOS controller compares the target engine speed POWER
with the actual engine speed and controls the signal to the
E.P.P.R. (Electromagnetic Proportional Pressure
Reducing) valve which in turn varies the pump output
quantity.
FG015516
If the load increases, the engine speed will fall below the
rated speed. When this occurs, the controller senses this Figure 114
decrease and immediately reduces the pump discharge
volume to maintain the engine speed at the rated level.
On the other hand, if the load is decreased the controller
increases the discharge volume of the pump to maintain
the engine speed at the rated level.
By repeating these control operations, the engine speed is
maintained at the rated speed so that maximum power can
be generated.
In Power Mode, the EPOS controller receives engine
speed signals from the engine control dial and converts it
to an operating signal current and is then transferred to the
pump's E.P.P.R valve. At this time the E.P.P.R. valve
converts the electric signal to the corresponding control
pressure and sends it to the two pumps, adjusting the
pump discharge volume to the desired level.

9-1-68
2. Standard Mode
Standard Mode is used for general work. When this mode
is selected it will reduce noise and fuel consumption in
comparison with Power Mode. The EPOS controller
compares the target engine speed with the actual engine
speed and controls the signal to the E.P.P.R. valve which
in turn varies the pump output quantity and it is the same
method with power volume.

3. Economy Mode
Economy mode is used for light load work. When this
mode is selected, it will reduce noise and fuel consumption
in comparison with standard mode. The current to the
E.P.P.R. valve is shut off and pump discharge volume is
controlled by pump regulator.
The EPOS controller compares the target engine speed
with the actual engine speed and controls the signal to the
E.P.P.R. valve which in turn varies the pump output
quantity and it is the same method with power volume.

4 Operation in Case of Failure in the Control System


(Aux Mode Operation)
Though it is impossible to control current of the E.P.P.R
(Electromagnetic Proportional Pressure Reducing) Valve
controlling the discharge volume of pump due to fault in
control system, the machine can be operated in the aux
mode.
Upon turning "ON" the aux mode switch, the E.P.P.R Valve
controlling the discharge volume of pump comes into
contact with the aux mode resistor to let current of a certain
value flow. At this time, the discharge volume of pump
follow the control by the pump regulator, nearly at quantity
roughly similar to that in the standard mode.

When the engine control dial is moved, the output voltage


changes according to the dial position, and this signal enters the
engine throttle controller. The engine throttle controller drives
the motor according to the dial command position by comparing
the value of dial voltage and the value of potentiometer voltage
which is used to observe the motor position (Feedback signal)
contained within the engine control motor.
The throttle controller stops the motor by cutting off the motor
drive current when dial command signal and feedback signal are
the same.
A cable is attached to the engine control motor and the end of
this cable is connected with the lever which adjusts fuel injection
of engine. Thus, this lever is always driven with motor, so the
speed of the engine is controlled.

The engine control motor uses the DC motor and has a


potentiometer (a variable resistor) that is used to observe the
position within it. When the engine control motor has unusual
loads (in case of aging of control cable or folded cable), the
engine throttle controller shuts off current to the engine control
motor for protecting the system in the event the engine control
motor does not drive. In this situation, it can drive normally if the
start switch is moved from OFF position to ON position after
removing the cause of unusual loads.
NOTE: Change or Adjust the engine control motor in
accordance with adjustment way of engine control
device. Wrong adjustment causes unexpected
performance of the equipment.

If the machine is idling without the controls being operated or is


waiting for a dump truck the engine speed is automatically
lowered. Once the controls are operated and work is being
started the machine will be restored to the previous settings. As
a result, noise and fuel consumption will be reduced. This
function can be selected or cancelled through the Auto Idle
Selector Switch on the instrument panel.
The initial setting at start-up is with this switch in the select
position. Approximately 4 seconds after this function is selected,
if all work levers are in the neutral position, the EPOS controller
compares the automatic reduction signal with the signal set by
engine control dial. The lower of the two signals is selected, the
EPOS controller sends a signal to the engine controller to
control the engine speed.
The neutral status of the machine is detected by the two
pressure switches in the control valve. When the work levers are
in the neutral position, the switch is in the "OFF" position.

When the engine coolant temperature increases to over 107°C


(225°F), the gauge panel detects it from the sensor mounted in
the coolant line of engine and send a signal to the EPOS
controller and turns on the buzzer simultaneously.
The EPOS controller returns an overheat signal to the engine
throttle controller and changes from power mode to standard
mode. The engine speed is then set to a low speed by the engine
throttle controller. That is, when the engine coolant temperature
increases, a warning buzzer turns on, power mode is changed to
standard mode and engine speed set to a low speed.
When coolant temperature falls below 95°C (203°F), normal
operation will resume.

The Power Boost function is used to temporarily increase the


main relief pressure to enhance excavation ability. When the
breaker/boost/shear selector switch is set to "BOOST" and the
power boost button on the center of the right-hand work lever
(joystick) is pressed during work, the EPOS controller will
activate the power boost solenoid valve and increase the relief
valve pressure from 330 ~ 350 kg/cm2 (4,700 ~ 5,000 psi). The
excavation ability is increased by approximately 6%.
When the power boost function is in activated, a power boost symbol
appears on the information display department of instrument panel.
NOTE: Do not use this switch for more than 10 seconds.

Electric Breaker Pedal
• How to use the electric breaker pedal
To operate the breaker, select the breaker mode and then
press the electric breaker pedal.
NOTE: Note: The use of the electrical breaker pedal is
an option. You can use the joystick’s breaker
button alternatively since both commanding
devices are parallel-wired to the breaker.
• How the electric breaker pedal works
Once the working mode switch is shifted to the breaker
mode, the EPOS is accordingly signaled at pin CN2-8 so
that it enters the breaker mode.
When pressed in this mode, the electric breaker pedal lets
the 24V power from the fuse be sent through the working
mode switch to the breaker solenoid valve.
At the same time, the EPOS receives a signal demanding
the operation of the breaker at pin CN2-10 and in turn
stops its 24V power supply from pin CN2-10 to the breaker
solenoid valve.
As a result, the breaker solenoid valve is powered to opens
due to this 24V potential difference.

If the automatic travel speed control switch is set to the "OFF"


position, the travel motor will run in the I-speed (low speed)
range. If the selector switch is set to the "I" position, the travel
motor will run in the II-speed (high speed) range. If the selector
switch is set to the "II" position, the EPOS controller will monitor
the main pump discharge pressure and automatically select the
"ON" - "OFF" status of the II - speed travel solenoid valve based
on the travel load. The travel speed is changed between the
I-speed and the II-speed mode.
The travel load is monitored by the two pressure sensors in the
discharge lines of the front (upper) and rear (lower) pumps.
When the travel load is high (pressure over 300 kg/cm2 (4,300
psi) the solenoid valve is turned "OFF" and I-speed (low) is
selected. In the case when the travel load is low (pressure under
160 kg/cm2 (2,280 psi), the solenoid valve will be turned "ON"
and the II-speed will be selected. But, if the engine speed control
switch dial is set below approximately 1,400 rpm, the travel
speed will be set to I-speed mode.

REFRIGERANT SYSTEM REPAIRS

WARNING
AVOID DEATH OR SERIOUS INJURY
Always wear protective glasses and gloves when handling
refrigerant. If refrigerant comes in contact with the skin or
eyes, immediately flush with clean, running water and
consult a physician.
Select a clean and well ventilated area to work.
The refrigerant container is under high-pressure and
should be stored below 40°C (104°F). Be careful not to drop
the container from a high location.
The contents are under high-pressure and should not be
used with compressed air or near an open flame.

The following procedures should be observed for safe handling


of refrigerant during vacuum and charging process.
1. Use an approved recovery / charging device which can
safely perform vacuum and charge work simultaneously.
2. The new refrigerant has improved cooling characteristics
than the old type and care should be used not to
overcharge the system.

Electrical System DX480LCA-K/DX520LCA-K


9-1-110
3. Do not over tighten connections when working on
refrigerant system.
4. The new refrigerant system standards require new tools,
equipment and parts. DO NOT attempt to use equipment
use in servicing the old refrigerant system.
5. The new refrigerant oil (PAG type) has a high moisture
absorption characteristic. When the refrigerant system
vacuum seal has been broken, immediately plug up all
openings to prevent moisture from entering into the
system.
6. When joining unions which use O-ring seals, lightly coat O-
rings with refrigerant oil. Be careful not to drip oil on the
threads of the nut.
7. Be certain the O-rings are seated properly on the
refrigerant line lip. Always use new O-rings when
reassembling parts. Do not reuse old O-rings.
8. Use a vacuum pump to evacuate refrigerant system of air.
9. When charging the refrigerant system with the engine
running, do not open the high-pressure valve on the
manifold gauge as the reverse flow of high-pressure
refrigerant will rupture the hose.
10. When releasing the high-pressure hose after completing
the charging process, quickly disconnect the hose to
minimize refrigerant released to the air.

Repair and Replacement Procedure


1. Work Procedure
A. Before repairing or replacing any refrigerant
components first, return all refrigerant oil to the
compressor and perform recovery procedures.
2. Operating Condition
A. Run engine at maximum engine speed.
B. Select 'HI' blower fan speed and select A/C switch to
'ON'.
C. Set the temperature control switch for maximum
cooling and leave running for approximately 20
minutes.
NOTE: The manifold gauge dial pointer can vary
depending on the outdoor temperatures.

Wiper Operation

Continuous Operation
- Operation of wiper motor
Pressing the successive operation switch on the wiper switch
panel (7) changes the voltage of the "5" terminal of the wiper
controller (6) from HIGH (about 5.5 ± 0.5V) to LOW (0+0.5V) and
also current flows via the "3" terminal of the wiper controller (6) 
the "2" and "4" terminals of the wiper motor (5)  the "4" terminal
of the wiper controller (6) to run the wiper motor (5) continuously.
- Stop of wiper motor
Pressing again the successive operation switch on the wiper
switch panel (7) changes the voltage of the "5" terminal of the
wiper controller (6) from LOW (0+0.5V) to HIGH (about 5.5 ±0.5V).
As the "5" and "6" terminals of the wiper motor are connected still
that power is supplied to the "6" terminal of the wiper controller (6),
However, the controller (6) runs the wiper motor continuously
and then rotates the motor reversely by " letting current flow via
the "4" terminal of the wiper controller (6)  the "2" and "4"
terminals of the wiper motor (5)  the "3" terminal of he wiper
controller (6) when the "1" and "6" terminals of he wiper motor
(5) are connected and thus power voltage is supplied to the "7"
terminal of the wiper controller (6).
The Wiper motor (5) stops reverse revolution when the contact
of a cam switch connected to the "6" terminal of the wiper motor
(5) moves to an insulation area of the cam plate to disconnect
the "5" and "6" terminals of the wiper motor (5).
When the wiper motor (5) stops, arm and blade connected to it
move to the stop positions of the right pole in the cabin.

Intermittent operation
- Intermittent 1st (3-second)
Pressing once the Intermittent switch in the switch panel (7)
changes voltage of the "8" terminal in the wiper controller (6)
from HIGH (about 5.5 ±0.5V) to LOW (0+0.5V) and current flows
through the "3" terminal in the wiper controller (6)  the "2" and
"4" terminals in the wiper motor (5)  the "4" terminal in the
wiper controller (6) to start the cycle that wiper stops 3 seconds
after every operation.
- Intermittent 2nd (6-second)
Pressing twice the Intermittent switch in the switch panel (7)
changes voltage of the "10" terminal in the wiper controller (6)
from HIGH (about 5.5 ±0.5V) to LOW (0+0.5V) and current flows
through the "3" terminal in the wiper controller (6)  the "2" and
"4" terminals in the wiper motor (5)  the "4" terminal in the
wiper controller (6) to start the cycle that wiper stops 6 seconds
after every operation.
- Stopping the intermittent action
Pressing three times the Intermittent switch in the switch panel (7)
while the wiper is operating stops the action of the wiper motor.
NOTE: The wiper system does not work when the wiper
cutoff switch (9) is "ON."
