PREFACE
This manual is intended to fullfil a space between „Operation and maintenance manual“
containing basic information of operation (safety regulations, machine control, maintenance)
and „Workshop manual“ containing dismantling and reassembly procedures and repair
procedures of particular hydraulic elements.
It is following the knowledge that for identification of any malfunction in a system it’s
important to know how the system is connected and how its individual elements work. The
information is complemented by figures with a concise description (diagrams, section views,
graphs) with notice of differences among individual machine types.
The manual is designed as a help for dismantling-free diagnosis of machine malfunctions for
authorized service of the producer. It provides basic information of hydraulic system and
electric wiring where the malfunctions may occur most likely. Also some other malfunctions
that could occur during operation are described. Some information and figures in this manual
are taken from available manuals of Bosch-Reroth, the producer of hydraulic elements.
The „diagnostic service box“ is recommended to use for diagnosis of hydraulic system
malfunctions. It contains all necessary manometers and connections. A standard measuring
unit from retail shops is suitable for diagnosis of electric wiring.
Hydraulic systems of machines consist of individual working circuits which take care of their
specific functions.

Hydraulic part of the controller is connected to the control pressure from electrohydraulic
valve. Proportional valves (fig. 15) act by means of the plunger (9) when the joystick is tilted.
They open inlet of the control poressure to hoses and pipelines leading to a desired element.
Controllers of particular machine types differ from each other in some details (wiring of an
electrical section) therefore they cannot be exchanged. The following table contains ID
numbers shown on body of each controller for an easier reference.
Machine type Left joystick Right joystick
Cleanliness of hydraulic oil is the basic condition for a correct function of the controller.
Detailed information on maintenance and repairs can be found in a manual published by the
producer.
Electrohydraulic valve of shovel levelling used on machines L 853 and L 903 opens or
closes inlet of control pressure to faces of shovel section slider on distributor SX12. Each
valve of a pair servers for levelling during jib movement in one direction – one upwards, the
second one downwards.
Additionally, so called logical valves are connected to this circuit (of shovel). They direct
control poressure coming from two directions (from joystick or electrohydraulic valve) to one
outlet – to the face of shovel section slider. Their interconnection is shown on a diagram (fig.
9, 10, 17).
Control pressure coming from the right joystick (7, fig. 17) at closed valve (1) is directed to
section of the jib (3). After the valve is open, the control pressure is directed through the
logical valve (2) also to the section of shovel (4).
Control pressure coming from the left joystick is directed through the logical valve (2) to
shovel section only.

a case on the left side plate of the frame (fig. 69).
Detailed information on checking and setting can be found in chapter 2 (page 62) of this
manual.
Purpose of this valve is to open inlet of control pressure to a control section of hydromotor.
The control pressure works on a hydraulic slider that changes direction of working pressure
flow to a rotating section of hydromotor.
The valve is located under the front cross beam of the frame at the right side (fig. 18).

Note:
Measurement of control pressure is recommended to be performed on connector E.
WARNING
Do not touch joysticks inside of cabin when measuring control pressure on
connectors A, B, C, D.
In most cases impurity of safety valve (fig. 25) is the cause of control pressure malfunction.
The pressure value can be changed (increased) by inserting of washer 7 (fig. 25) under the
spring of the valve.
Front and rear stages of control pump A10VG45 of travel are equivalent therefore the safety
valve of control pressure is set to the same value.
Summary:
Control pressure taken from the front stage of control pump A10VG45 serves for:
- automatic braking / unbraking of the machine after the engine is stopped / started,
- switching on of emergency and park brake by means of left foot pedal and a switch
on the control panel,
- control of control pumps of travel and distributor of working equipment,
- switching of change of travel gear in hydromotor.
The relief valve of the control pressure is common for both stages of A20VG45 pumps and
is situated on the entry block of safety valves (fig.1-29)

The L752 circuit consists of: Suction filter built in the tank (fig. 31), gear pump AZPN-11-28
(fig. 32), 3-section distributor SM12 with open center (fig. 33, 35), hydraulic cylinders (linear
hydromotors), valves, hoses, pipelines.
Fig. 31- Suction filter Fig. 32- Gear pump AZPN-11-28 (L752)
AZPN-11-28 is a standard constant gear pump driven from the front stage of the tandem.
Together with distributor SM12 and hydraulic cylinders it works in an open hydraulic circuit.
Hydraulic distributor SM12 with electrohydraulic control differs from the original one by
modified section of auxiliary attachment with intake of control pressure from the ROX valve.
Primary safety valve on the input is set to pressure of 16.5 ± 0.5 MPa. A secondary safety
valve set to pressure of 18.5 MPa is connected into a section circuit of hydraulic cylinders of
quick clamp (shovel). Another (anticavity) valve is connected in the opposite side.

In case of inner leakage of one valve of a pair controlling the jib of shovel, an unwanted
behaviour occurs – falling of lifted jib or opening of shovel even if engine is stopped. There is
no outer leakage of oil, therefore it’s not easy to find out which valve of the pair is faulty.
A knowledge that temperature of faulty valve is significantly higher can help when doing
a dismantlingless diagnostics.
Circuit of L853, L903 consists of: Suction filter (fig. 31) built in the tank – axial pump
A10VO45 – three section distributor SX12 with LS signal – hydraulic cylinders, valves,
hoses, pipelines.
Levelling of shovel to jib: Hydraulic, both-sided, electronically controlled.
A10VO45 is an axial piston control pump driven from the front stage of the tandem.
Two valves are located on the body of the pump: one for flow rate control, another one for
pressure control and mechanical stop of swinging plate inclination of pump volume setting.

If no part of working equipment works and primary safety valve on the distributor is working,
check (clean) valve 2, fig. 38.
Hydraulic cylinders of the same construction as those in fig. 28 have the following
parameters:
Circuit of L1203 consists of: Suction filter (fig. 31) built in the tank – axial pump A10VO45
(fig. 37, 38) – three section distributor SX14 with LS signal (fig. 42, 43) – hydraulic cylinders,
valves, hoses, pipelines.
Levelling of shovel to jib: Hydraulic, both-sided.
In difference to L853, L903, levelling of shovel to jib is done by means of double self-
balancing valve EATON.
Hydraulic cylinders, as for other types, are connected in pairs. Throttling valves are
connected to the outlet of oil under cylinder pistons of jib lifting to slow down its lowering.
The valve (fig. 44) is reachable after opening of the rear cover. It enables lowering of a lifted
jib to its basic position in case of hydraulics or engine failure.
If a failure occurs when only the jib lifting doesn’t work, it’s important to check if this valve is
not opened.
It is a double self-levelling valve that serves for levelling of shovel position in regard to the jib
in both directions and in the whole working range.
Jib cylinder
Distributor
Shovel cylinder
If the slider of the working section of shovel is in neutral position and slider of the jib section
is in position for lifting, then oil from distributor inputs channel „B“ of the „Eaton“ valve and
outputs through channel „A“ under the piston of lifting cylinder. Oil from the opposite side of
the lifting cylinder is directed to channel „C“ of the „Eaton“ valve where it is divided by
a throttling diaphragm. Flow division ratio is given by size of the throttling diaphragm. Part of
oil is led through channel „E“ under the pistons of shovel cylinders, rest of oil returns through
channel „D“ back to distributor. Shovel cylinder piston extends when pressure in channel
„E“ opens a relieving slider so that a flow from channel „F“ to channel „D“ and back to
distributor is possible.
● Tilt the cabin and lock it opened while the engine is stopped.
● Unscrew the connection plug of the inflow pipeline before the distributor (fig. 46 – L752,
fig. 47 – L1203), or on the distributor (fig. 48 – L853, L903) and connect there a hose
together with necks and a manometer (0 - 25 MPa).
● Start the engine and perform any working function to its end (limit) position (jib, shovel,
AA). Keep the joystick in the end position and read the pressure value on the manometer.
(The correct value is 16 ± 0.5 MPa for L752, L1203 and 18 ± 0.5 MPa for L853, L903).
● If the pressure is not correct, adjust it using the control screw after the safety nut is loosen.
A B
Pollution or other problem (broken sealing ring) of a safety valve are the most frequent
causes of a failure (pressure loss) in the working equipment circuit. If a failure is related to
the primary safety valve then all functions are affected in the same way.
WARNING
If the safety valve is working and the pressure still cannot be adjusted (pressure is low
and manometer doesn’t respond to the control screw tigheting) then the pump is the most
likely source of a problem.
For machines with LS signal (L853, 903, 1203), a pressure (1,9 MPa) rises in the branch
between the pump and distributor after the engine is started. It can be read on a connection
adapter for measurement of working pressure (fig. 46).
Fig. 46- Measure point of working Fig. 46a- Measure point of working pressure
pressure of AA for L853, of AA for L 903
(Distributor SM12 Type) (Distributor SX12 Type)
Measure point of working pressure of AA serves also for check of secondary valves. When
doing it, keep in mind that the secondary valves are connected after the primary valve of the
distributor, therefore it’s necessary to change pressure of the primary valve to a higher value
than pressure of the secondary valve is.
● Tilt quick clamper to its end position, keep it there and read pressure value on the
manometer. (Correct value is 17 MPa – L752, L1203 and 19 MPa – L853,L903).
● Return pressure on the primary valve to the normal value after check or adjustment
(16 ± 0.5 MPa for L 752, L1203 and 18 ± 0.5 MPa for L853, L903).
● Secure control screws with safety nuts and replace all broken seals.
● If you don’t want to break seal of the primary valve, unscrew both valves (primary and
secondary one) and exchange them one for the other. Then proceed as for
measurement of the primary valve pressure but without tilting of the quick clamper.

Maximum cleanliness of hydraulic oil for the whole machine lifetime is the basic condition for
failure-free operation of control pumps and the whole hydraulic system.
Even small impurities can cause severe damage to control pumps taking their construction
into account.

Tilting plate 6 (fig. 52) is mechanically connected to the piston of servo-cylinder 9, that tilts it
from its neutral position. Direction of plate tilting corresponds to direction of oil flow and
thus the hydromotor rotation direction as well. Size of tilting angle of the plate corresponds
to oil amount from the pump and thus the hydromotor rotation speed as well. The servo-
cylinder is controlled by direct inflow of control pressure from a controller (for the LOCUST
machines) to one or the other side of its piston.
So called short circuit valve 3 (if connected) reads current working pressure in the circuit and
if its preset value is exceeded then it connects the active space of the servo-cylinder to the
tank what returns the tilting plate to its neutral position.
The working pressure for each side and travel direction is set on an individual valve 1 (fig.
52) whose construction enables its use for two work modes (fig. 53):
- Return valve mode, meaning filling of low pressure branch of the control pump. Valve cup
2 (together with pos. 3, 4, 5, 7) moves against the spring 6 when filling.
- Safety valve mode, when the working pressure impacts the valve cone 3 against the
spring 5.

10- Oporný krúžok 20,1X25 X1,4
Pressure control is done by change of spring 5 tension by means of control screw 4, after the
safety piece 7 is loosen.
Check condition of sealing ring 9 during each dismantling of the safety valve. Replace
a broken ring with a new one.
All four safety valves on each machine are the same and mutually interchangeable.
Hydromotor MCR (hydro base is the basic part of a hydromotor without an output shaft)
works by means of piston movement on a crank. Oil (pressure) is led through channel „A“ to
underneath of piston 3 in the moment when it locates right after the crank peak. Oil pressure
causes the piston to move to the lowest point of the crank where channel „A“ is closing for
the active piston and channel „B“ is opening for draining. Contact of piston with the crank is
by means of cylinder 2. There are 8 pistons placed in the rotor.
Disc brake of hydromotor is controlled by inflow of control pressure „G“ from the fronst stage
of pump A10VG45 through electrohydraulic valve ROX.
Check the safety valve (fig. 53) if the pressure doesn’t reach specified value and adjust it if
necessary. Safety valves are mutually exchangeable on both stages what can help to identify
a malfunction quickly.
The same procedure can be used to measure or adjust working pressure in hydraulic circuits
of travels of all machine types for each side and travel direction individually.
The following applies (fig. 57):
Should the machine visibly direct to the left or right when both joysticks are equally tilted (to
the maximum), check pressure in tyres first. If the pressure is equal and according to
specifications, then check working pressure of relevant valves for the problematic travel
direction (on front and rear stages of control pump A10VG45). If this pressure is equal as
well, then correct mechanical stops of servo cylinders.
Fig. 58- Regulation point of servo cylinder stops for machine turning
1- Hex key 4, 2- Box end wrench 13.
The servo cylinder body of control pump is marked with marks X1 and X2 for each side
(travel direction) on its top part. Maximum tilt of regulating plate for travel forwards and
backwards can be set with mechanical stops. (Screwing in of the stop decreases tilting range
of the plate, screwing out increases it.)
Access to stop bolts is protected with leaden seals that cannot by removed without damaging
them. After loosening of safety nut do as follows: (basic pattern for L752)
This is only valid if pumps and hydromotors are correctly interconnected. That means that
top output of pump leads to top input of hydromotor and bottom output of pump leads to
bottom input of hydromotor.

Hydraulic circuits of travel (right and left sides) are identical so connection and possible
malfunctions are the same.
Control pressure output from the front stage is the only difference.
WARNING!
Measurement and adjustment of pressure on safety valves during the warranty period can
only be done by service attendants or personnel trained by the producer.
2. Electric wiring
Electric and electronic systems, whether we like it or not, interfere with our lives more and
more and the Locust loaders are no exception to it.
Building machines usually use electromagnetic coils together with hydraulic sliders, so called
“electrohydraulic valves”. Therefore it’s necessary to identify reasons of malfunction of any
system function separately for its electric and hydraulic parts.
A lead accumulator 12 V / 50 Ah is the primary source of electric energy of the machine.
The energy from the accumulator is actually used for combustion engine starting only. So the
secondary source of electric energy - alternator - is activated.
The negative (-) terminal is grounded by means of the main switch located close to the
accumulator (on the right side) on all machines.
Distribution to individual appliances is provided by distinctive conductors or cable bundle.
Individual electric circuits are protected from overload by fuses located in a fuse box of the
control panel. In case of failure of any function it’s recommended to first check a fuse of the
relevant circuit and eventually replace it.
Arrangement of control units (switches, relays, electromagnetic valves, appliances) and their
interconnection is shown on diagrams that are part of „Operator’s manual“ of each machine
type.
Location of the fuse box is the same for all machine types.

Plate A
Plate B
Segment
Sensor 1
Plate C
Sensor 2
When the jib moves upwards, sensor 1 reads raised part of plate B (marked by hatching).
The shovel levelling is disengaged in this time. When the piston of the jib cylinder extends to
approx. 130 mm the B plate gets to the position that is unreadable by sensor 1 and
additional movement of the jib upwards engages the shovel levelling. If sensor 1 begins to
read the raised part of plate C, hapenning about 2 mm before the full extension of the jib
cylinder, the shovel is levelled no more.
When the jib moves downwards, the shovel levelling works from its top position until sensor 2
begins to read the raised part of plate A, happening about 30 mm before facing surface of
the jib sits on the front cross beam of the machine frame. The shovel levelling works no more
for additional jib movement downwards.
Check connection markings in case of problems with the levelling system (defective relay
replacement) for their correct reconnection. Purpose of the (general) relay is shown on fig.
69, 70.

2.3.3 Controller
If blue wires are not marked (little color partex), they can be identified by measurement. Find
wires from switches using a multimeter (Ω) and put them aside. Three wires are left. Measure
them using a multimeter on a crossing of diodes (mV). Voltage between blue and blue-yellow
wires must be 190 to 250 mV. Voltage between blue and blue-green wires must also be 190
to 250 mV. There is no voltage between blue-yellow and blue-green wires. This
measurement shows which wire is blue, blue-yellow and blue-green. Two wires are two-
colored (one for L and another one for P valve). The pure blue wire is common for both
valves.

The voltages must be in range of min. 0.7 V to max. 4.3 V. If this is not valid then the AA
section will not work. These voltages can be measured on connector pins 3 and 2 of the
distributor as well. If all the measured voltages are in the range then the failure of AA
control is not in wiring.
Electric shock absorber, located on the frame beside the electrohydraulic valve of the 2nd
speed gearing, serves for softening (slowing down) of process of switching on (and off) of the
selected speed and thus elimination of machine tugging.
2.5 Multifunctional electronic switch
This switch was built into all machine types. Its purpose is to control the process of switching
on and off of some functions (AA locking, speed changing, shovel levelling switch-off). It
substitutes function of electronic blocks (fig. 77) that were located in the control panel.
Some components can be put out of work and electronic blocks replaced with multifunctional
switch in case of repeating problems with control of functions described above (shock
absorber). In such a case it’s necessary to use an adapter (fig. 78a) for connection of the
switch. It’s delivering together with the switch.

3. Side gears
Side gears serve for transmission of torque from hydromotor to machine wheels. Working
principle is the same for all machine types, construction differs in gearing ratios and
dimensions.
Every gear box is equipped with a pinion (4) for input of the torque from the hydromotor and
with two output shafts for traction of the wheels. The torque is transmitted by four inserted
gear wheels placed on sliding bearings. The box is filled with gear oil. Oil level is determined
by position of a check hole on the inner side of the gear box.
In case of hydraulic oil level decrease, when the leak is not visible from outside, check the oil
level in both side gears. If (gear, mixed with hydraulic) oil flows out when the check plug (on
the inner side of the gear box) is open, the problem is in untightness of the gufero (6)
between the cover (3) and the pinion (4). Broken gufero must be replaced with a new one.
Procedure:
• dismantle the hydrobasis,
• remove safety ring 5
• unscrew nuts 2 (6 pcs.)
• screw three nuts M8x1.5 into displacing holes and press out cover 3 with bearing 7
and gufero 6,
• pull off the bearing and replace the gufero,
• mount the cover and hydrobasis back on the gear box in a reverse order.
Drain all the oil from the side gear and fill it with a new gear oil.
This construction solution is identical for all types of side gears. Differences of individual
types are shown in table of selected parameters.
WHEELBASE
There are two drain plugs located in the end (lowered) part of the gear box.
4. Oil specifications
The winter marking defines usage by low temperatures (e. g. oil SAE 15W has a pumping
limit at -25 °C).
If only one class is used for marking, it means the oil is monograde (winter or summer).
If a combination of summer and winter classes is used (e. g. 5W-40), it means the oil is
multigrade or all-year. Nowadays almost all used oils are multigrade. The most common
class for our climate region is SAE 15W-40.
Temperature exterior
GL-4- Oils with high additives designed mostly for manual gear boxes and low loaded hypoid
gearing
GL-5- Oils designed for high loaded hypoid gearing working in the toughest conditions.
GL-6- Oils for hypoid gearing working in extreme conditions. They are rarely used.
Producers of gear boxes recommend oils according to load specification, e. g. API GL-4, API
GL-5 and viscosity specification of SAE, e. g. 75W, 80W-90.
Viscosity index is a numerical indication of oil sensitivity to temperature change. The higher
viscosity index indicates a more flat viscosity curve, meaning lower viscosity variation by
temperature.
Viscosity index of oils Paramol HM 32, 46, 68 etc. is 110, solidification point is -40, -34, -30.
Viscosity classes of oils are marked by letters „VG“ and a number 32, 46, 68…
