Caution!
The service trap must be moved down only if the uppercarriage and the undercar-
riage are aligned.
Caution!
For safety reasons, the machine can only be operated if the service trap is locked
in its top position. This means that the swing and travel movements remain locked.
If the service trap is not on its top position, the warning light H68 on the control board
comes on.
This safety measure can be bypassed as long as the button S122 on the control
board is activated.

According to the oil type used for the hydraulic system, the fans speed regulation
must be set specifically ("STANDARD", "COLD" or "EXTRA-COLD").
Before first start of the excavator or if an oil type change is done afterwards, the fans
speed regulation setting must be checked and corrected if necessary.

Requirements
Caution!
Minimum ambient air temperature for extra-cold start depends on oil type and brand
and equals to oil pourpoint temperature +5 degrees K.
Recommended and approved are engine oils, which conform to the following speci-
fications:
LEC/en/Edition: 01 / 2016
SAE10W30 "STANDARD"
SAE10W40 "STANDARD"
SAE20W-20 (ISO VG68) "STANDARD"
SAE15W40 "STANDARD"
Requirements
Caution!
Minimum ambient air temperature for extra-cold start depends on oil type and brand
and equals to oil pourpoint temperature +5 degrees K.
Warm-up procedure
The black bar C indicates that the ambient temperatures are maximum 20 °C below
the operating range B.
In the event of a cold start at an ambient temperature included in range C, the follow-
ing warm-up instruction applies to the hydraulic oil:
1. Start the diesel engine and run it at approx. 1/2 rated speed. Carefully activate
the working hydraulic circuits. Operate a hydraulic cylinder (Stick for example)
and move them to the stop quickly and many times. After approx. 5 minutes, start
the travel hydraulic circuits.
Warm-up duration: approx 10 minutes
For temperature below the limits A :
2. Preheat hydraulic oil in the tank before starting the engine.
Caution!
LIEBHERR recommends to limit the use of HEES oils to areas where HEES oils are
mandatory by local regulations.
Lifetime of components made out of rubber material such as hoses, seals, compen-
sators might be reduced while using HEES oils!
When mixing ester-based biodegradable hydraulic oils with mineral oils, there is a
risk of agressive chemical reactions, which might damage the hydraulic equipment.
Oil mixing
In principle, oil mixing between two different oil types must be avoided. Mixing two
different oil types leads to an unknown lubricant with resultant unknown physical
properties (viscosity, pourpoint, flash point, ageing behaviour, lubricity, reaction with
additives...).
However, if mixing is absolutely necessary, respect the following maximum mix-
ing proportions:
– Mixing LIEBHERR oils with hydraulic oils, or LIEBHERR oils with mineral oils, or
hydraulic oils with mineral oils, or two different mineral oils together, or two differ-
ent hydraulic oils together:
max. 10%
– Mixing HEES oils with hydraulic oils or mineral oils or LIEBHERR oils:
max. 2%
Note!
Environmentally acceptable hydraulic fluids should generally be checked at
regular intervals by oil analysis.
Oil analysis is recommended for mineral oils.
LEC/en/Edition: 01 / 2016
Note!
Oil change in pre-set intervals are only permitted for mineral oils. When using envi-
ronmentally friendly hydraulic fluids, oil sample analysis reports must be used to de-
termine the time of the oil change, see "Optimised oil change intervals determined
through oil sample analysis reports".
Note!
For a given machine operating temperature range, and if different viscosity grades
are approved according to the following specifications, always choose the lubricant
with the highest viscosity grade.
Caution!
Gears flushing is necessary when switching from mineral oil to synthetic oil.
Use new oil to flush the gear when switching from mineral oil to synthetic oil.
Flushing with cleaning fluid or Diesel fuel is not permitted.
Use gear oil meeting following viscosity classes and specifications (depending on the
ambient temperature):
Use gear oil with viscosity classification SAE 90 or SAE 80W90 and meeting speci-
fications API-GL-5 and MIL-L-2105 B, C or D.
Lubricating grease
Use grease which agrees with the specifications that follow (depending on the ambi-
ent temperature).
Lubricating grease for the swing ring, attachment bushings and swing gear bearing / general lubricating
points:
– KP2K or KPF2K according to DIN 51502

Engine oil
Refer to the Operation and Maintenance Manual for the CUMMINS Diesel engine.
First filling
Use BP Vanellus Ultima 5W30 from -40°C to +30°C (if the excavator is equipped with
a preheating the temperature range can start at -50°C instead of -40°C).
Hydraulic oil
Refer to the section "Lubricating and operating material specifications" of this
manual.
Gear oil
SAE 75W90 API GL5 with pourpoint < -54°C:
– BP gear oil Syntrax Universal Plus 75W90
– AVIA gear oil Synthogear FE 75W90 EP from -50°C to +40°C
Sampling intervals
– For each component, get an oil sample according to the Control and maintenance
LEC/en/Edition: 01 / 2016
chart.
– When changing oil, get an oil sample of the used oil immediately before draining
it.
– For new oil, get an oil sample twice a year and when changing to another oil sup-
plier.
Sampling instructions
Use a sampling pump if you get the sample directly in the tank or on the compo-
nent (machine stopped).
Always use a new sampling hose.
Cut the sampling hose to the correct length (e.g. dipstick length plus 20 mm).
First, let sufficient oil flow to flush the sampling hose.
If you get the oil sample in the tank, take the sample in the middle of the tank.
Sampling material
You can order LIEBHERR approved sampling material to get the samples:
Note!
These sampling kits are prepaid kits and include the cost of the analysis.
LEC/en/Edition: 01 / 2016
Before ordering these sampling kits, check for sample export licence: make sure
that the export of the sample is authorized from your location to Europe.

Analysis standards
LIEBHERR recommends to submit the oil samples to OELCHECK GmbH for oil anal-
ysis.
If another laboratory is used, the oil analysis must be done according to these stand-
ards:
– DIN 51 396-1, DIN 51391-3 (wear metals, contamination and additives by ICP)
– DIN 51 562 (viscosity)
Caution!
If three analyses one after the other give out-of-range results:
Contact LIEBHERR Customer Service with the related analysis records.
Caution!
Comments and recommendations given by the laboratory on the analysis report
must also be taken into account.

Refer to the Cummins operation and maintenance manual for detailed description
of maintenance work to be performed.
The engine manufacturer reserves the right to change information, specifications
and maintenance guidelines in its manuals at any time. Thus, to make sure that
you have the latest version of its documentation, contact your local representative
of the engine manufacturer.
In addition, accurately observe the following items and perform all maintenance
work according to the intervals given in the control and maintenance chart.

Danger!
Risk of burning.
The engine oil is hot when it is at operating temperature.
Avoid contact with hot oil and components containing oil as it can cause dangerous
burns.
Add oil through the quick change coupling of the service trap until the oil gets the
maximum mark of the dipstick 10.
A small quantity of oil can also be filled through the filler neck 20.
For oil quantities, oil specifications and oil change intervals, see lubrication and
maintenance chart.
For detailed description of maintenance work to be performed, see also Cummins
operation and maintenance manual.
Danger!
Risk of burning.
When you remove the filter, be careful to avoid contact with hot oil as it can
LEC/en/Edition: 01 / 2016
cause dangerous burns. Use gloves to avoid burns and personal injury because
of possible sharp edges on the filter elements.
To prevent personal injury, make sure that the engine and the rotation of the
bowl are completely stopped before any disassembly. Wait at least 5 to 10 min-
utes after stopping the engine before disassembling the filter.
