Precautions for slinging work and making sig-

nals
q Only one appointed worker must make signals
and co-worker must communicate with each
other frequently. The appointed signaler must
make specified signals clearly at the place
where the signaler is well seen from the opera-
tor's seat and where the signaler can
see the working condition easily. The signaler
must always stand in front of the load and
guide the operator safely.

2. Do not step on the load.

k Slinging with one rope may cause turning
of the load during hoisting, untwisting of
the rope, or slipping of the rope from its
original slinging position on the load,
which can result in a dangerous accident.
q Hanging angle must be 60 degrees or smaller
as a rule.
q When hanging a heavy load (25kg or heavier),
the hanging angle of the rope must be nar-
rower than that of the hook.

q The chapter of maintenance standard shows judgement criteria to determine the products to be
replaced or to be reused. The judgement criteria are described by using the following terms.
Standard dimension and tolerance q When some parts are repaired, the value of
q To be accurate, the finished dimension of a performance/function is set to the standard
part is slightly different from one to another. value.
q To specify the finished dimension of a part, a
certain dimension is set for the part and an
allowable difference from that dimension is
indicated.
q The above dimension set is called the “stan-
dard dimension” and the range of difference
from the standard dimension is called the “tol-
erance”.
q The standard dimension and tolerance are
indicated by attaching the symbols of + or -
and a number on the right side of the standard
dimension.
Example:
Standard dimension Tolerance
–0.022
120
–0.126
q The tolerance may be indicated in the text and

a table as “standard dimension (upper limit of
tolerance/lower limit of tolerance).”
Example: 120(-0.022/-0.126)
q Usually, the dimension of a hole and the
dimension of a shaft to be inserted into the
hole are indicated by the same standard
dimension and different tolerances of the hole
and shaft. The tightness of fit is decided by the
tolerance.

SEN06260-00 Explanation of terms for maintenance standard
Repair limit and allowable value or allowable

dimension
q The dimensions of parts change because of
the wear or deformation while they are used.
When the dimension changes exceeding cer-
tain value, the parts can not be used any
longer. This value is called “repair limit”.
q If a part is worn to the repair limit, it must be
replaced or repaired.
q The performance and function of the products
lower while they are used. When the value of
the performance and function lowers exceed-
ing a certain limit and it influences the opera-
tion etc., this value is called the allowable
value or allowable dimension.
q A product whose dimension is out of the allow-
able value, must be repaired. However, since
the allowable values are generally estimated
through various tests or experiences in most
cases, the judgement must be made in consid-
eration of the operating condition and cus-
tomer’s requirement.
Allowable clearance
q Parts can be used until the clearance between
them is increased to a certain limit. The limit at
which those parts cannot be used is called the
“allowable clearance”.
q If the clearance between the parts exceeds the
allowable clearance, they must be replaced or
repaired.
Allowable interference
q The allowable maximum interference between
the hole of a part and the shaft of another part
to be assembled is called the “allowable inter-
ference”.
q The allowable interference shows the repair
limit of the part of smaller tolerance.
q The parts whose interferences are out of the
allowable interference must be replaced or
repaired.

Flushing operations
q After disassembling the equipment or when
changing the hydraulic oil with new one, flush
the system to remove the contaminant and
sludge left in the hydraulic circuit as well as the
oil which includes them. Normally, flushing is
performed twice. Primary flushing is performed
by use of the flushing oil and the secondary
flushing is performed by use of the specified
hydraulic oil.
Cleaning operations
q After repairing the hydraulic equipment (pump,
control valve, etc.) or when the machine is in
operation, perform oil cleaning to remove the
sludge or contaminant in the hydraulic oil cir-
cuit. The oil cleaning equipment can remove
the ultra fine (approximately 3 Œºm) particles
that the filter built in the hydraulic equipment
can not remove. So, it is an extremely effective
device.

q To maintain the performance of the machine over a long period, and to prevent failures or troubles
before they occur, correct “operation”, “maintenance and inspection” “troubleshooting”, and “repairs”
must be performed. This section deals particularly with correct repair procedures for mechatronics com-
ponents and is aimed at improving the quality of repairs. For this purpose, it describes the working pro-
cedures in “Handling of electrical equipment”.
Precautions for handling electric equipment

Handling wiring harnesses and connectors
q Wiring harnesses consist of wires connecting
one component to another component, con-
nectors used for connecting and disconnecting
one wire from another wire, and protectors or
tubes used for protecting the wires.
q Compared with other electrical components fit-
ted in boxes or cases, wiring harnesses are
more likely to be affected by the direct effects
of rain water, heat, or vibration. Furthermore,
during inspection and repair operations, they
are frequently removed and installed again, so
they are likely to suffer deformation or damage.
For this reason, it is necessary to be extremely Defective crimping or soldering of connectors
careful when handling the wiring harnesses. q The pins of the male and female connectors
are attached to wires by crimping or soldering.
If excessive force is applied to the wire, the
joining area may become loose, which may
result in a defective connection or breakage.
Main failures occurring in wiring harness

Handling of electrical equipment SEN06260-00
Oil, mud or dirt stuck to connector

q If any oil or grease is stuck to the connector
and an oil film is formed on the mating surface
of the male and female pins, the oil prevents
electricity from passing through, resulting in
defective contact. If any oil or grease, mud or
dirt is stuck to the connector, wipe it off with a
dry cloth or blow it with compressed air and
spray it with electrical contact restorer.
a When wiping the joint portion of the con-
nector, be careful not to apply excessive
force or deform the pins.
a If there is oil or water in the compressed
air, it causes the contacts to become dirt-
ier. So, remove the oil and water from the

for water to enter (drip-proof structure), but if
high-pressure water is sprayed directly on the
connector, water may enter the connector,
depending on the direction of the water jet.
Accordingly, take care not to spray water over
the connector.
The connector is designed to prevent water
from entering, but once water does enter, it is
difficult to drain it. If water should get into the
connector, the pins will be short-circuited by
the water. So if any water gets in, immediately
dry the connector or take other appropriate
action before passing electricity through it.
Removing, installing, and drying connectors

and wiring harnesses
Disconnecting connectors
1. Hold the connectors when disconnecting.
q Disconnect connectors by holding the
connector bodies. For the connectors held
by a screw, loosen the screw fully, then
hold the male and female connectors with
each hand respectively and pull them
apart horizontally. For the connectors with
lock stopper, press down the stopper with
your thumb and pull the connectors apart.
Entry of water, mud or dirt when disconnecting a Never pull the connector with one
a connector hand.
q If any water, mud or dirt is stuck to the outside
surface of a connector, it can enter inside the
connector when the connector is discon-
nected. Before disconnecting the connector,
wipe off any stuck water or dirt by using a
piece of dry cloth or blow it with compressed
air.
PC300, 300LC, 350, 350LC-8M0 00-200 21

a If the machine is left disassembled for

a long time, it is particularly easy for
improper contact to occur, so always
cover the connector.
2. When removing from clips

q Both of the connector and clip have stop-
pers, which are engaged with each other
when the connector is connected.
Connecting connectors
1. Check the connector visually.
q Check that there is no oil, dirt or water
stick to the connector pins (joint portion).
q Check that the connector pins are free
from deformation, defective contact, corro-
sion, or damage.
q Check that external surfaces of the con-
nectors are free from damage or break-
age.
a If any oil, water or dirt is stuck to the con-
nector, wipe it off with a dry cloth. If any
water is inside the connector, warm the

Drying wiring harness
q If there is any oil or dirt on the wiring harness,
wipe it off with a dry cloth. Avoid washing by
using steam. If the wire harness must be
washed in water, do not apply high pressure
water or steam directly to the wiring harness.
If water gets directly on the connector, do as
follows.

Conversion table SEN06260-00
Conversion table 1
Method of using the conversion table
q The unit conversion table enables the simple conversion in the figures between the different units. For
further details of the method of use of the conversion table, see the examples given below.
Example: Method of using the conversion table to convert a unit from millimeters to inches
Conversion of 55 mm into inches

1. Locate the number 50 in the vertical column at the left side, take this as (A), and then draw a horizontal
line from (A).
2. Locate the number 5 in the row across the top, take this as (B), then draw a vertical line down from (B).
3. Take the point where the two lines cross as (C). This point (C) gives the value when converting the unit
from millimeters to inches. Therefore, 55 mm = 2.165 in.
Conversion of 550 mm into inches

1. The number 550 does not appear in the table, so divide it by 10 (move the decimal point one place to
the left) to get 55 mm.
2. Then convert 55 mm to 2.165 in by the same procedure as above.
3. The original value (550 mm) was divided by 10, so multiply 2.165 inches by 10 (move the decimal point
one place to the right) to get the original value. This gives 550 mm = 21.65 in. Therefore, 550 mm =
21.65 in.

Function
q The pump converts the engine rotation trans-
mitted to the shaft to oil pressure and delivers
pressurized oil corresponding to the load.
q It is possible to change the discharge amount
by changing the swash plate angle.

q Rocker cam (4) conducts high pressure oil to
cylinder surface (B) with cradle (2), which is
secured to the case, and forms a static pres-
sure bearing when it slides.

q With center line (X) of rocker cam (4) at a

swash plate angle (a) in relation to the axial
direction of cylinder block (7), flat surface (A)
acts as a cam in relation to shoe (5).
q In this way, piston (6) slides on the inside of
cylinder block (7), so a difference between vol-
umes (E) and (F) is created inside cylinder
block (7).
q A single piston (6) sucks and discharges the oil
by the amount (F) – (E).
q As cylinder block (7) rotates and the volume of
chamber (E) becomes smaller, the pressurized
oil is discharged.
q On the other hand, the volume of chamber (F)
grows larger and, in this process, the oil is suc-
tioned.
10-401 10 PC300, 300LC, 350, 350LC-8M0

Control of discharge amount

q If the swash plate angle (a) becomes larger,
the difference between volumes (E) and (F)
becomes larger and pump delivery (Q)
increases.
q Servo piston (12) is used for changing swash
plate angle (a).
q Servo piston (12) carries out linear reciprocal
movement according to the signal pressure
from the PC and LS valves.
q This linear movement is transmitted to rocker
cam (4) via slider (13).
q Being supported by cradle (2) on the cylindrical
surface, rocker cam (4) slides on the surface
while continuing revolving movement.
q Space of the pressure receiving area of servo
piston (12) are not identical on the left side and
right side. Main pump discharge pressure (self
pressure) (PP) is always brought to the pres-
sure chamber of the small diameter piston
side.
q Output pressure (PEN) of the LS valve is
brought to the chamber receiving the pressure
at the large diameter piston end.
q The relationship in the size of pressure (PP) at
the small diameter piston end and pressure
(PEN) at the large diameter piston end, and
the ratio between the area receiving the pres-
sure of the small diameter piston and the large
diameter piston controls the movement of
servo piston (12).

Function Front pump

q The LS (load sensing) valve detects the load
and controls the discharge amount.
q This valve controls main pump delivery (Q)
according to differential pressure (EPLS)[= PP
– LS], called the LS differential pressure (the
difference between main pump pressure PP
and control valve outlet port pressure PLS).
q Main pump pressure (PP), pressure (PLS)
(called the LS pressure) coming from the con-
trol valve output, and pressure (PSIG) (called
the LS selector pressure) from the proportional
solenoid valve enter this valve.
q The relationship between the LS differential
pressure between the main pump pressure
(PP) and LS pressure (PLS) (EPLS) [= (PP) – Rear pump
(PLS)] and the pump delivery (Q) changes as
shown in the diagram according to LS selector
current (ISIG) of the LS-EPC valve.
q If (ISIG) changes from 0 to 1A, setting force
the spring changes, too. As the result, the
specified median of the pump delivery volume
switching point changes as shown in the dia-
gram. As for the front pump side, it will change
in the range of 0.98 to 2.45 MPa {in the range
of 10 to 25 kg/cm2] and as for the rear pump
side, it will change in the range of 1.08 to 2.55
MPa {in the range of 11 to 26 kg/cm2}.

also changes the position of spool (6). (Setting
force of the spring is changed)
q Before the engine is started, servo piston (12) is
pushed to the right. (See the figure)
q If the control lever is at the neutral position
when the engine is started, LS pressure (PLS)
will be set to 0 MPa {0 kg/cm2}. (It is intercon-
nected to the drain circuit via the control valve
spool)

q When spool (6) moves, port (D) and port (E)
are interconnected and connected to the PC
valve.
q The PC valve is connected to the drain port, so
the pressure across circuits (D) and (K)
becomes drain pressure (PT). (The operation
of the PC valve is explained later.)
q The pressure at the large diameter end of
servo piston (12) becomes drain pressure
(PT), and pump pressure (PP) enters port (J)
at the small diameter end, so servo piston (12)
is pushed to the left side. Therefore, the swash
plate is moved in the direction to make the dis-
charge amount larger.
10-401 14 PC300, 300LC, 350, 350LC-8M0

3) Action for the direction of minimizing the pump delivery
q When LS differential pressure (EPLS)

becomes larger (for example, when the area of
opening of the control valve becomes smaller
and pump pressure (PP) rises) because of the
rightward move (it reduces discharge amount)
of servo piston (12), pump pressure (PP)
pushes spool (6) to the right.
q When spool (6) moves, main pump pressure
(PP) flows from port (C) to port (D) and from
port (K), it enters the large diameter end of the
piston.
q Main pump pressure (PP) also enters port (J)
of the small diameter end of the piston, but
because of the difference in area between the
large diameter end and the small diameter end
on servo piston (12), it is pushed to the right.
As the result, servo piston (12) moves into the
direction of reducing the swash plate angle.
q As LS selector pressure (PSIG) is input to port
(G), setting force of spring (4) is reduced.

trol valve stroke. Namely it is intended at con-
trolling the horse power for the pumps so that it
may not exceed the engine hose power.
q If the pump discharge pressure increases due
to increased load during operation, this valve
decreases the pump delivery.
q And if the pump delivery pressure goes low, it
increases the pump delivery.
q In this case, relation between the mean dis-
charge pressure of the front and rear pumps

will becomes as shown in the diagram if the
relation is represented as the parameter the

q The controller continues counting the actual
engine speed.
q If the engine speed is slowed down due to
increased load, the controller reduces the
pump delivery to recover the speed.

q The relationship between the average pump

pressure (PP1 + PP2)/2 and servo piston (9) in
terms of their positions can be represented by
the broken line in the figure springs (4) and (6)

q The relationship between the average pump
pressure (PP1 + PP2)/2 and average pump
delivery (Q) becomes as shown below.
q If command voltage (X) sent to PC-EPC valve

solenoid (1) increases further, the relationship
between average pump pressure (PP1 + PP2)/
2, and pump delivery (Q) is proportional to the
force of the PC-EPC valve solenoid and moves
in parallel.
q Namely, the force of PC-EPC valve solenoid
(1) is added to the pushing force to the right
because of the pump pressure applied to the
spool (3), so the relationship between the aver-
age pump pressure (PP1 + PP2)/2 and the
pump delivery (Q) moves from (A) to (B) as the
command current (X) is increased.

Control valve 1
Outline
q The control valve consists of a 7-spool valve
(6-spool valve + boom Hi, arm Hi valve) and a
set of service valves. A merge-divider valve, a
back pressure valve, a boom drift prevention
valve are installed to it.
q Since all the valves are assembled together
with connecting bolts and their passes are con-
nected to each other inside the assembly, the
assembly is compact and easy to maintain.

q Inlet pore (a) inside main spool (2) has a small
diameter concurrently serving as a throttle.
Operation
q When main spool (2) is operated, the pump
pressure enters port (c) via inlet pore (a) and is
led to the LS circuit.
q When the pump pressures rises to reach the
load pressure of port (B), check valve (5)
opens.

q The pressure compensation valve closes
under LS pressure of port (D), and the spool
meter-in downstream pressure of port (B)
becomes equivalent to the maximum pressure
of other work equipment.
q Since the spool meter-in upstream pressure of
port (A) is the pump pressure, the spool meter-
in differential pressure [upstream pressure port
(A) pressure] - downstream pressure [port (B)
pressure] becomes equivalent to all the spools
in operation.
q Pump flow is divided according to the ratio of
the meter-in opening area.
Operation
q Spring chamber (E) is interconnected to port
(D).
q Piston (4) and valve (2) operate in the closing
direction (to the right) under the LS circuit pres-
sure from other work equipment of port (F).
q Valve upstream pressure (= spool meter-in
downstream pressure) of port (B) is controlled
with LS pressure.

3. Pressure compensation valve area ratio
Function
q The state of division changes according to the
area ratio of pressure compensation portion
(A1) and (A2). Area ratio = (A2)/(A1)
q If area ratio = 1 : the spool meter-in down-
stream pressure will be equal to the maximum
load pressure, and the pressure will be divided
according to the opening area ratio.
q If area ratio = 1 or over : the spool meter-in
downstream pressure will be greater than the
maximum load pressure, and the pressure will
be divided smaller than the opening area ratio.
q If area ratio = 1 or under : the spool meter-in
downstream pressure will be smaller than the
maximum load pressure, and the pressure will
be divided greater than the opening area ratio.

Function
q The EPC valve consists of the proportional solenoid portion and the hydraulic valve portion.
q When it receives signal current (i) from the pump controller, it generates the EPC output pressure in pro-
portion to the size of the signal, and outputs it to the control valve.
PC300, 300LC, 350, 350LC-8M0 10-403 17

Operation
1) When signal current is 0 (coil is de-energized)

q When there is no signal current flowing from the controller to coil (4), coil (4) is de-energized.
q Spool (2) is pushed to the left by spring (3).
q Port (C) closes and the pressurized oil from the front pump does not flow to the control valve.
q The pressurized oil from the control valve is drained to the tank through port (C) and port (T).
10-403 18 PC300, 300LC, 350, 350LC-8M0

2) When signal current is very small (coil is energized)

q When a very small signal current flows to coil (4), coil (4) is energized, and a propulsion force is gener-
ated on the right side of plunger (5).
q Push pin (6) pushes spool (2) to the right, and pressurized oil flows from port (P) to port (C).
q Pressures on port (C) increases and the force to act on surface (a) of spool (2) and the spring load on
spring (3) become larger than the propulsion force of plunger (5).
q Spool (2) is pushed to the left, port (P) is shut off from port (C) and ports (C) and (T) are connected.
q Spool (2) moves so that the propulsion force of plunger (5) may be balance with pressure of port (C) +
spring load of spring (3).
q The circuit pressure between the EPC valve and the control valve is controlled in proportion to the size
of the signal current.
PC300, 300LC, 350, 350LC-8M0 10-403 19

3) When signal current is maximum (coil is energized)

q As the signal current flows to coil (4), coil (4) is energized.
q When this happens, the signal current is at its maximum, so the propulsion force of plunger (5) is also at
its maximum.
q Spool (2) is pushed to the left by push pin (6).
q The maximum volume of pressurized oil is conducted from port (P) to port (C), increasing the circuit
pressure across EPC valve and the control valve to the maximum level.
q Since port (T) is closed, pressurized oil does not flow to the hydraulic tank.

Operation of parking brake

1) When starting travel
q As the travel lever is operated, pressurized oil

from the pump activates counterbalance valve
spool (15), opening the parking brake circuit.
q The pressurized oil is conducted to chamber
(a) of brake piston (10) and compresses brake
spring (9), pushing brake piston (10) toward
right.
q Since the pushing force to plate (11) and disc
(12) disappears, plate (11) is separated from
disc (12) and the brake is released.

2) When travel is stopped
q As the travel lever is placed in neutral, counter-

balance valve spool (15) returns to the neutral
position and closing the parking brake circuit.
q The pressurized oil in chamber (a) of brake
piston (10) passes through orifice (f) of brake
piston (10) and is drained to the motor case.
q Brake piston (10) is pushed to the left by brake
spring (9).
q Plate (11) and disc (12) are pushed together,
and the brake is applied.
q As brake piston (10) returns, flow of pressur-
ized oil is reduced with slow return valve (8).
q The time delay will be set to activate the brake
only after the machine has stopped.

1. Counterbalance valve and check valve (14B) and counterbalance valve spool (15), so
the pressure at the supply side rises.
Function
q When traveling downhill, the machine travel
speed tends to get faster than the motor
(engine) speed because of the downward force
generated from its own weight.
q If the machine travels with the engine at low
speed, the motor may rotate without load,
causing the machine to run away, resulting in a
very dangerous situation.
q These valves are used to prevent above by
controlling the machine to travel according to
the engine speed (pump delivery).

q The pressure at the outlet port side rises, gen-
erating rotation resistance on the motor to pre-
vent the machine from running away.
q The spool moves to a position where the pres-
sure on outlet port (MB) can be balanced
against the machine's own weight and the inlet

q Oil flow from the outlet circuit is reduced to

2) When travel is stopped (low-pressure set-

ting)
q When the travel lever is placed in neutral, the
pressure in chamber (PA) drops and counter-
balance valve spool (15) returns to the neutral
position.
q When counterbalance valve spool (15) is in the
process of returning to the neutral position, the
pressurized oil in chamber (J) flows to cham-
ber (PA) via passage (H) and chamber (G).
q Piston (3) moves to the left side, decreasing
the set load.
q The safety valve is caused to the low pressure
setting, thereby attenuating the shocks when
the speed is reduced.

When it happens, the engine controller checks

the signal voltage from the fuel control dial and
sets the engine speed to the speed set by the
fuel control dial.
Engine speed control

q The fuel control dial sends a signal voltage cor-
responding to the rotation angle to the engine
controller.
q The pump controller receives the fuel dial posi-
tion information from the engine controller
through the network.
q The pump controller calculates the engine
speed in accordance with the working mode,
the decelerate, and the like, and sends an
instruction to the engine controller.
q The engine controller determines the fuel injec-
tion quantity based on the instruction received
from the pump controller.

the travel motor capacity will automatically
change to low speed (equivalent to Lo).
(The travel speed switch will stay at Hi or
Mi.)
If the load decreases, such as when trav-
elling on level ground or travelling down-
hill, and the travel pressure goes below
18.6 MPa {190 kg/cm2} for more than 0.5
sec, the travel motor capacity will auto-
matically change and will return to Hi or
