CAUTION:
1. Do not keep the access doors open when the
machine is parked on a slope, or while the
wind is blowing hard. The access doors may
close accidentally, possibly resulting in per-
sonal injury.
2. When opening or closing the hood and the ac-
cess doors, take extra care not to catch
fingers between the base machine and the
hood or the access doors.

have been adjusted at the factory. Do not
attempt to disassemble or turn the ad-
justing screws, as they are very difficult
to readjust.
Consult your authorized dealer if any
trouble should occur.

7. When connecting hydraulic hoses and pipes, take
special care to keep seal surfaces free from dirt and A couple of threads left unwrapped
to avoid damaging them. Keep these precautions in
mind:
a. Wash hoses, pipes, and the tank interior with a
washing liquid and thoroughly wipe it out before
reconnecting them.
b. Only use O-rings that are free of damage or
defects. Be careful not to damage them during Direction of
reassembly. Tape Winding
c. Do not allow high pressure hoses to twist when
connecting them. The life of twisted hoses will be M114-07-041
shortened considerably.
d. When connecting screw type joints, apply seal
tape to the threads of male screw. Be sure to
leave a couple of threads at the male screw top
unwrapped, as shown. Do not overwrap. Apply
seal tape around threads as shown, so that the
tape does not loosen when the female screw is
tightened.
e. Carefully tighten low pressure hose clamps to
following torque specifications. Do not
overtighten.

8. When adding hydraulic oil, always use the same
brand of oil; do not mix brands of oil. As the machine
is filled with Super EX 46HN when it is shipped from
the factory, use it as a general rule. When selecting to
use another brand of oil listed in the table “Brand
Names of Recommended Hydraulic Oil”, be sure to
completely replace the oil in the system.

Use a proper coolant mix of water, antifreeze and anti-
corrosive agent DCA4.
1. Water
Use soft water with fewer impurities or tap water as a
coolant (lather will easily from with soft water).
If hard water with many impurities is used, the anticor-
rosive agent DCA4 will be neutralized and loose its
effect as an anticorrosive agent.
2. Long-Life Coolant
Long-Life coolant protects the cooling system from
rusting and freezing.
Long-life coolant can be used throughout the year
without changing.
As long as Genuine Hitachi Long-Life Coolant is used,

6. In case the reagent color corresponds to that between
the color specimens, take the intermediate value. If it
is difficult to determine which value should be taken,
adopt the lighter color side concentration as a safer
value.
