5 Basic Precautions

Wear proper clothing and safety items

• Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry that can be caught
on the control levers and other machine parts. Also avoid
wearing working clothes stained with oil as they can ignite.
• Be sure to wear a helmet, safety goggles, safety shoes, a
mask, gloves and other protective items, as appropriate.
Take particular precautions when generating metal debris,
when striking metal objects with a hammer or when clea-
ning components with compressed air.
• Also make sure there are no persons near the machine.

Alcohol
• Never operate the machine while you are under the in-
fluence of alcohol or when you are ill or feel unwell as this
results in accidents.

Provide adequate ventilation when working in

an enclosed area
• Engine exhaust fumes are harmful to the human body and
their inhalation is extremely hazardous. When starting the
engine in an enclosed area, open the windows and doors
for ventilation.
• Also do not idle the engine unnecessarily or leave the en-
gine running while the machine is not in use.

Caution for the protection of plants from hot air

• Hot air is exhausted from the muffler and the radiator. If this
hot air hits plants directly, they will die.
• Give a cover board to protect plants from the hot air when
working near the arranging fence or plant.

Keep fuel and oil away from sources of ignition

• Open flames can ignite fuel, oil, hydraulic oil or antifreeze
solutions, which are flammable and dangerous..
Special attention must be paid to the following matters:

• Keep flammable materials away from lighted cigarettes or

matches, or any other sources of ignition.
• Never refuel while the engine is running. Smoking during
refueling must be strictly prohibited.
• Firmly tighten the caps on the fuel and oil tanks.
• Store fuel and oil in a cool and well-ventilated place where
they are not subjected to direct sunlight.
• Fuel and oil must be stored in a place which meets all ap-
plicable safety regulations. Unauthorized persons should
not be allowed entry.

12
 5 Basic Precautions

Avoid removing filler caps while temperatures

are high
• The engine coolant, engine oil and hydraulic oil are hot and
under pressure immediately after the machine stops ope-
ration.
• Removing caps, draining coolant or oil, or replacing a filter
at such a time may cause burns. Allow temperatures to
cool down and follow the procedures in this manual.
• When removing the radiator cap, stop the engine and allow
the coolant to cool down, then turn the cap slowly to relieve
all pressures.
• Before removing the cap from the hydraulic oil tank, stop
the engine and turn the cap slowly to relieve all pressure to
prevent oil from spouting out.

Avoid harmful asbestos dust

• Air containing asbestos dust is carcinogenic and is hazar-
dous to humans. Inhalation of the air may cause lung can-
cer. When handling materials that may contain asbestos,
keep in mind that:
• Compressed air must not be used for cleaning.
• Water must be used to clean the machine to prevent as-
bestos from scattering in the air.
• You must work on the windward side when operating the
machine in a place where there may be asbestos dust.
• You should wear breathing apparatus as necessary.

Prevent crush injuries by the implements

• Keep hands, arms and all other parts of your body away
from all the moving parts, particularly between the imple-
ments and the machine and between the hydraulic cylinder
and the implements, as pinch points are created in those
areas.

Keep a fire extinguisher and first aid kit handy

• The workplace must be provided with a fire extinguisher.
Read instructions on the label to familiarize yourself with
how to use it.
• Keep a first aid kit in a prescribed place.
• Advise what to do in the event of fire or accidents.
• Indicate who to contact in an emergency and keep their te-
lephone number in a prominent place.

13
5 Basic Precautions

Avoid unauthorized modifications

Precautions for installing optional parts and

attachments
• Modifications not recommended by AMMANN YANMAR
may cause safety hazards.
• When you wish to modify your machine, contact your dea-
ler. The implementation of unauthorized modifications or
the use of unauthorized attachments could result in bodily
injury, since those actions would also violate, the terms of
AMMANN YANMAR's Warranty, it would be voided.
• When installing or using optional attachments, read the
operating instructions for the attachments and the Manual
Sections relating to the installation of attachments.
• Use only attachments authorized by AMMANN YANMAR.
The use of unauthorized attachments may affect not only
the safety of the machine but also the proper operation and
life of the machine.
• The use of unauthorized attachments would also violate
the terms of AMMANN YANMAR's Warranty, so that it
would be voided.

Caution for cabin glass

• If the glass of the cabin should be broken by accident, it is
very dangerous since the operator’s body might contact
the implement directly.
• Immediately stop working to replace the broken glass with
a new one.

Emergency escape from operator’s cab

(for cabin)
• If the door of the cabin should not open, break the window
glass with a hammer which is provided inside the cabin to
escape from the operator’s cab in an emergency.
• Remove the broken pieces of the window glass from the
window frame to prevent any injury by those broken pie-
ces. Besides, watch your step not to slip on the broken pie-
ces of the window glass which dropped around your feet.

hazards in your working area.
• Examine the terrain and soil, and decide the best way to
do the work.
• When working on the street, provide a signal person or
fence for the safety of vehicles and pedestrians.
• If there are underground utilities at the work site, such as
water pipes, gas pipes, high-voltage conduits or others,
contact the responsible companies to locate them exactly,
so as not to damage them.

Inspect around the operator's seat

• Dirt, oil and snow on the floor, levers, handrails or steps are
slippery and hazardous. Remove them all completely.
• Keep parts and tools away from the operator's seat as they
may damage the control levers or switches or create any
other hazards.

Signal before starting the engine

• Check the machine carefully before initial start up for the
day.
• Make sure there are no persons near the machine before
getting on it.
• Never start the engine when the "SERVICING IN PRO-
GRESS" tag is attached to the control system.

ment close to the ground. Never run over obstacles that
may cause the machine to tilt more than 10 degrees.
>10°

Running the machine on a slope

1 • Run the machine carefully on a slope to avoid overturning
or skidding sidewards.
• When running the machine on a slope, keep the bucket
90°-110° 20 to 30 cm above the ground so that you can immediately
lower it to the ground and stop the machine in an emer-
gency.
20-30 cm
• Never turn the machine on a slope or run it across the
slope.
2
• Move down to flat ground and then make a turn.
• On grasses, dead leaves or a wet metal plate, even with a
90°-110° slight gradient, the machine will easily slip. Under those
circumstances, run the machine carefully at low speed to
prevent it from skidding.
20-30 cm (1) Going down a slope
(2) Going up a slope

Note: For the maximum accepted gradient, refer to the

specification table.

Braking when going down a slope

• When going down a slope, you can automatically brake the
machine by setting the travel levers to the neutral position.

When the crawler is slipping

• If you cannot climb a slope by operating the travel levers
because the crawler is slipping, retract the arm and make
use of the pull-back power of the implement to climb the
slope.

When the engine stops

• If the engine stops while climbing a slope, set the travel le-
vers to the neutral position, stop the machine, and restart
the engine.

sents a very serious hazard and special precautions must
be taken. For purposes of this manual you are considered
to be working in the vicinity of overhead power lines when
the attachment or load of your machine, in any position,
can reach to within the minimum distances shown in the
table.
• The following procedures are effective in preventing acci-
dents or injuries.
1) Wear shoes with rubber soles.
2) Use a signal person to warn the operator when the ma-
chine is getting too close to a power line.
• If the machine should contact a wire, the operator must not
leave the seat.
• When working near power lines, caution all ground person-
nel to stand clear of the machine.
• To determine the transmission voltage at the working site,

 6 Operating Precautions

Prevent bumping the implements

• When traveling through tunnels or under bridges, or wor-
king at a site near other overhead obstacles, operate the
machine carefully so as not to bump the boom, arm, or the
implement against those overhead obstacles.

Work only where visibility as good

• When working in a dark place, light up the area with the
work lights and head lights, and prepare extra lighting
equipment as necessary.
• Stop working when fog, snow or rain impedes your view.

Work carefully in a snow-covered areas

• A snow-covered ground and icy roads are dangerous as
they may cause the machine to skid even on a slight slope.
Run the machine at low speed, and never start, stop or turn
abruptly on such ground or under such road conditions.
• Be careful removing snow as road shoulders or other ha-
zards may be buried under snow.

Unstable ground creates a high possibility of

overturn
• Keep away from cliffs, road shoulders or trenches if possi-
ble as the ground near them is unstable. The ground may
crumble due to the weight or vibrations of the machine, re-
sulting in an overturn or fall of the machine. Be particularly
careful when working immediately after rainstorm or after
blasting as the ground may be unstable.
• Ground-fills or ground near a ditch may be unstable and
may crumble due to the weight or vibrations of the ma-
chine, causing the machine to tilt. Much caution must be
taken in working in these areas.
• When working in an area where there is a high possibility
of falling rocks, wear a hard-hat and stay under the canopy.

Allowable water depth

IMPORTANT
When driving out of water, if the machine climbs a slope
at an angle of more than 15 degrees, the rear of the
upperstructure may submerge too deeply in the water,
which may damage the radiator fan since the radiator fan
paddles the water. Avoid this if possible when driving out
< 15° of water.

19
6 Operating Precautions

• The limit of the water depth in which the machine can be

used in is up to the center of the shoe slide plate.
• Apply a generous amount of grease to the moving parts
(especially bucket pin) that have been submerged in the
water for a long time until the used grease is extruded out
of the bearings.
• Wipe the extruded used grease off with a waste cloth.

Working on a slope
• Be aware that the machine may tip over when swinging the
upperstructure or swinging the implement on a slope.
• Never swing the upperstructure toward the downward side
of the slope with earth loaded in the bucket.
(See the illustration)
• If swinging is unavoidable, level off a work area to maintain
the machine as horizontal as possible, then swing.
(See the illustration)

Note: For the maximum accepted gradient, refer to the

specification table.

6.4 Precautions for parking

Parking the machine

• Park on level ground. If park on a slope is unavoidable,
block the tracks with solid pieces of wood and dig the buc-
ket into the ground. (See the illustration)
• If necessary to park the machine on the side of a road, set
up a warning flag, fence, or lamp that can be easily reco-
gnized by passing cars and pedestrians but does not im-
3 pede them.

(1) Ramp plate
<15° (2) Block
(3) Stoppers
(2) (3) (3)
• Be careful in loading and unloading the machine, because
it is a job of high hazard potential.
• Load or unload the machine at a low engine speed, and
low travel speed.
• Load or unload the machine on the level, solid ground
away from the shoulder of the road.
• Use ramp plates of adequate strength with hooks on their
ends.
• Check to see that the ramp plates are wide, long, and thick
enough to sustain the load so that you can load or unload
the machine safely. Support the ramp plates with blocks, to
provide additional strength.
• Securely hook the ramp plates to the deck of the truck so
that they will not come off.
• Remove grease, oil, and other slippery deposits from the
ramp plates, and remove mud from the tracks to prevent
the machine from skidding on the ramp plates.
• Do not load or unload the machine if the ramp plates are
slippery because of rain, snow or ice.
• Never change travel direction while on the ramp plates. If
you need to change travel direction, go down the ramp pla-
tes, and change direction on the ground.
• After loading the machine, block it with lumber and secure
the machine with a chain or a wire rope so that the ma-
chine will not move during transit. (Refer to Chap. 12.2
'Machine tie-down' in this manual.)

Precautions for transporting

• Transport the machine safely in accordance with the laws
associated with applicable law.
• Select a travel route consistent with the width, height and
weight of the machine loaded on the truck.

CAUTION
Load or unload the machine on level, solid ground far
away from the shoulder of the road.

22
 6 Operating Precautions

After loading the machine in a safe position on the truck, se-

cure the machine as follows:
1) Place the blade down on the ground.
2) Extend the bucket and arm cylinders to the maximum
limit, and slowly lower the boom down on a block of
(a) wood (a).
3) Stop the engine and take the key out of the starter switch.
(The brake works to lock the swing motor.)
4) Be sure to lock the control levers with the lock levers.
5) Provide wood blocks in the front and back of the crawler
A and secure the machine with a chain or a wire rope so that
B the machine will not move during shipping. In particular,
be sure to secure it to prevent skidding.

IMPORTANT
To protect the bucket cylinder from being damaged
during shipping, place a wooden block under one end of
the bucket to prevent it from directly touching the deck of
the truck.

6.7 Precautions for the battery

DANGER
Be careful in handling the battery

• The battery electrolyte contains dilute sulfuric acid, which

can severely burn the eyes or skin. Always wear safety
goggles and protective clothing when servicing the battery.
If contact with the eyes or skin should occur, flush with a
large amount of water and obtain prompt medical treat-
ment.
• Because flammable hydrogen gas is produced by the bat-
tery, ignition and explosion may occur. Keep flames and
sparks away from the battery.
• If you swallow battery electrolyte by mistake, drink a large
amount of water, milk, or fresh eggs, and obtain medical
treatment immediately.

23
6 Operating Precautions

• Before checking or handling the battery, be sure to stop the

engine and turn the starter switch to the "OFF" position.
• Be careful not to cause a short circuit by placing a tool
across the terminals of the battery.
• If a terminal connection is loose, sparks may be generated
due to contact failure, causing possible ignition and explo-
sion. Be sure to connect the terminals securely.

ATTENTION
Observe the procedures for starting the engine using
booster cables

• When you start the engine using booster cables, wear sa-
fety goggles.
• If you start the engine by taking electric power from ano-
ther machine, do not allow your machine to contact the
other machine.
• To connect the booster cables, begin with the positive ter-
minal, and to disconnect them, begin with the negative ter-
minal (ground side).
• If a tool simultaneously touches the positive terminal and
the machine, potentially hazardous sparks may be genera-
ted.
• Do not connect the booster cables to the terminals in re-
verse polarity. In other words, never connect the negative
terminal on one machine to the positive terminal on the
other machine.
• As the last step, connect the negative booster cable termi-
nal to the upper structure frame. At that time, sparks will be
generated. Consequently, connect the terminal to a point
as far away from the battery as possible.

24
 7 Precautions for Servicing

7 Precautions for Servicing

7.1 Precautions before servicing

• Attach the "SERVICING IN PROGRESS" tag to an imple-
ment control lever.
• If another person should start the engine or operate the
control levers while service is in progress, the service per-
sonnel can sustain serious bodily injury.
• Attach the "SERVICING IN PROGRESS" tag indicating
"Servicing in Progress" to one of the implement control le-
vers.

Use appropriate tools

• Using damaged or worn tools or using tools inappropriate
for the required application is very dangerous, and may
also cause damage to the machine. Make sure to use the
tools that are appropriate for the specific job.

7.2 Replacing Essential Parts

Periodically
• For safe operation, the machine must be serviced periodi-
cally. To increase safety, be sure to periodically replace the
parts listed in the table of safety parts on the next page. A
fire could result if they deteriorate or are damaged.
• These parts are vulnerable to age and wear or deteriora-
tion and it is difficult to determine the degree to which they
have deteriorated on the occasion of periodic service. To
maintain their proper function at all times, therefore, re-
place them with new ones after using them for a specific
period of time even if no abnormality is found with the
parts.
• If you find abnormalities in these parts before their schedu-
led replacement time is reached, repair or replace them
immediately.
• If a hose clamp is deformed or cracked, replace it imme-
diately.
• Check the hydraulic hoses (which are not periodic replace-
ment parts). If any abnormality is found in them, retighten
them or replace them immediately.
• When replacing the hydraulic hoses, replace the O-rings
and seals at the same time.
• For further information about replacing the safety parts,
ask your dealer.

25

7 Precautions for Servicing

7.3 Precautions during servicing

Keep unauthorized persons away

• Never admit any persons into the work area who are not
taking part in the work. Be conscious of the safety of other
persons.
• Be especially careful when grinding, welding, or using a
large hammer.

Removed attachments
• When an attachment is placed on the ground or against a
wall after removing it or prior to reinstalling it, be sure that
it is stable to prevent it from falling down.

Working under the machine

• Before performing service or repairs underneath the ma-
chine, place the implement on the ground in its lowest po-
sition.
• Be sure to apply blocks to the tracks to lock the tracks se-
curely.
• Never perform service underneath the machine if it is not
completely stable.

Pressure equipment (accumulator)

• The machines are equipped with an accumulator. This
pressure equipment complies with the prescriptions of Ar-
ticle 3 Paragraph 3 of the European directive (97/23/CE)
on pressure equipment. In view of Article 3 Paragraph 3,
the acronym EU cannot be affixed on this device.
• The pressure equipment (accumulator) is pressurized. Re-
pair, maintenance and commissioning must be done only
by qualified personnel.
• Do not open and carry out modifications to the pressure
equipment.

Keep the machine clean

• Spilled oil or grease, or scattered parts are dangerous and
can cause falls. Keep the machine clean.
• Getting water into the electrical system may cause it to
malfunction, resulting in faulty operation of the machine.
Also it may permit electrical leaks that could cause a fire or
electric shocks.
• Never clean the sensors, connectors or the operator's seat
with water or steam.

28
 7 Precautions for Servicing

Radiator cooling water level

• Before checking the radiator cooling water level, stop the
engine and wait until the engine and the radiator have coo-
led down.
• Slowly loosen the cap to release the inner pressure before
removing the cap.

Use an explosion-proof lighting source

• Use an explosion-proof lighting source when checking the
fuel, the oil, the cooling water, or the battery electrolyte.
Failure to use an explosion-proof lighting source may
cause ignition to occur, inducing an explosion.

Precautions for handling battery

• When welding or repairing the electrical system, discon-
nect the negative terminal of the battery to interrupt the
electric circuit.

Handling high-pressure hoses

• Leaks of fuel and oil could cause a fire.
• Do not bend a high-pressure hose forcibly, or strike it with
a hard object. Because abnormally bent or damaged pi-
ping, tubes, and hoses easily burst under high pressure,
never use them.

Be careful of hot oil under high-pressure

• The hydraulic system for the implement operates under
high pressure. When replenishing or draining hydraulic oil,
be sure to first relieve the high pressure.
• The emission of hot oil under high-pressure from a small
leak could result in serious bodily injury. Wear safety gog-
gles and thick gloves when checking for leaks. Use a piece
of cardboard or a plywood block to detect emissions of hot
oil.
• If the hot oil should contact your body, obtain prompt medi-
cal treatment.

Hazards from the high-pressure grease when

adjusting the track crawler tension
High-pressure grease is enclosed in the track crawler adjuster.
Failure to use the specified procedures for adjusting the track
crawler tension, could cause grease plugs or nipples to eject,
which could result in bodily injury.
• Do not loosen the grease draining plug more than one turn.
• Never position your face, hands, legs, or body in line with
the grease draining plug and valve.

29
7 Precautions for Servicing

Rotating radiator fan and fan belt

• Never contact the rotating radiator fan or fan belt with any
object.
• Contacting the rotating radiator fan or fan belt with any ob-
ject can result in serious bodily injury.

Processing wastes
• Do not dispose of waste oil in the sanitary sewer system.
• Always drain the oil from the machine into a secure contai-
ner, and never directly to the ground.
• When disposing of toxic wastes such as fuel, oil, cooling
water, solvent, filters, and spent batteries, comply with all
applicable disposal regulations.

11 Instructions

11.1 Break in period

The machine should not be subjected to severe stresses and
loads during the initial break in period although it has been
prepared well and stringently inspected before shipping.
Otherwise the machine's performance may be affected and its
service life shortened. Thus it is essential to break in the ma-
chine for the first approx. 100 service hours (reading of the
hourmeter).
In breaking in the machine:

• You should warm up the engine by idling for 5 minutes be-

fore starting operations.
• You should not operate the machine under heavy loads or
at high speed.
• You should not start and accelerate the engine too
abruptly, or stop it too abruptly.
• You should not change travel direction too abruptly.
The safety instructions for operation and maintenance that
are presented in this Manual are applicable to each of the in-
tended tasks. Never misuse this machine by violating the ap-
plicable safety instructions or by attempting to perform unin-
tended tasks, because of the danger of serious bodily injury.

11.2 Checking before starting the

engine

Walking check (visual inspection) around the

machine

CAUTION
• If there are any combustibles in any heat build-up
areas, or if there are any fuel and/or oil leaks, a fire can
result.
• Check for possible fire causes carefully. If there is any-
thing abnormal, be sure to take corrective action or
contact your dealer.
1) Checking the implement, hydraulic cylinders, linka-
ges, and hoses for damage, wear and loose connec-
tions.
2) Removing dust deposits from around the engine, bat-
tery, and radiator.
3) Checking the engine and its accessories for oil or wa-
ter leakage.

Checking and replenishing the hydraulic oil

tank

CAUTION
When removing the plug of the oil supply port, slowly
loosen it to release the pressure in the tank to prevent a
dangerous high-pressure leak.

IMPORTANT
Do not replenish hydraulic oil above the upper limit mark
on the oil level gauge. An excessive amount of hydraulic
oil may damage the hydraulic system by placing stress
on its components, causing a dangerous high-pressure
leak.

Note:
Note that the oil level varies with the oil temperature. When
reading the oil level, follow these guidelines:
• Before start-up, the oil level gauge should read the level
around the midpoint of the gauge scale [oil temperature :
50 to 86°F (10 to 30°C)].
• During normal operation, the oil level gauge should read
the level around the upper limit mark of the gauge scale [oil
temperature : 122 to 176°F (50 to 80°C)].

11.6 Operation of the air conditioning

heater (depending on model)
The control panel is installed on the machine dashboard.

63
11 Instructions

Advice for using the air conditioning

• The air conditioning operates when the temperatures in-
side the cab are above 18°C, the vehicle engine is running
and the inside blower is working.
• When air conditioning is working, it is advised to fully close
the windows.
• The air conditioning removes the humidity from the cool air
blown into the operator compartment (condensation) and it
can therefore be seen a small pool of water when the ma-
chine is parked. This is normal.
• In hot weather, when you enter the vehicle, it is recommen-
ded to open the windows for a few minutes to remove the
hot air from the operator compartment. This will improve
the air conditioning performance.

System operation:
A = Control panel
1 = Ventilation speed
2 = Red light = Door closed
3 = Recycling door control
4 = Green light
5 = Temperature (increase)
6 = Temperature (decrease)
7 = On/Off
8 = Display of the required temperature

Installed on the vehicle dashboard, the control panel contains

the main processor and comprises a keypad for operational
programming of the air conditioning system, as well as a digi-
tal screen to display parameters, operating statuses, fan
speed and temperature.

On/Off
• Once energised with 12V, the regulator display indicates
for a few seconds the soft version, then a green LED (4)
flashes on the top LH corner of the display (the self-test is
completed).
• To switch on the screen, press (7) (On/Off) and it will dis-
play the set point. The luminous point (2) located on the
side of the screen will indicate whether recycling is active
(ref. system parameters).
• To switch off the control panel, just press (7) (On/Off).
Digital screen
• The screen normally displays the temperature set point. It
is also used to give the alert when a breakdown occurs in
the system and display the system parameters.

64
 11 Instructions

Temperature sensor
• When the system is on, the temperature set point is dis-
played by default. However, by keeping the On/Off button
depressed for three seconds, it is possible to display the
temperature inside the cab. This change in display is indi-
cated by the decimal point flashing. After a while, the dis-
play will indicate again the set point value and the decimal
point will stop flashing.
Set point
• The set point is the temperature required inside the vehi-
cle. To set it, press (5) (+) or (6) (-) and the set point value
will flash on the screen. Press again one of these keys un-
til obtaining the temperature required. Depending on the
temperature difference between the set point and that pro-
vided by the probe, the regulator transmits the information
required to operate the air conditioning or the heater.
Ventilation
• The ventilation function will operate even if the refrigera-
tion function is not operating. The display has a 3-speed
ventilation option: U1 (slow speed), U2 (average speed)
and U3 (high speed). The system will always start in the
AU position, which means an automatic speed adjustment,
that speed being controlled according to the set point va-
lue. To modify the speed, activate the ventilation function
by pressing (1) (Ventilation) before determining the requi-
red speed using keys (5) (+) and (6) (-).
Air recycling
• The air renewal door is manually controlled. To modify its
status, press (3). When the luminous point is on, the air re-
newal is active, which corresponds to opening the outside
air door. When the indicator diode is off, the air renewal is
de-activated. When the appliance is switched off then on
again, the last recycling door status will be restored.
Faults
• The appliance may indicate two faults:
OP' probe switched off,
'SC' probe shorted.

14.1 Phenomena that are not

breakdowns
The following phenomena are not breakdowns:
• Shaking of the bucket.
When the boom is raised immediately after extending the
arm while curling the bucket, the bucket may shake. This
phenomenon is not a breakdown.
• Discontinuous arm movement.
When digging the ground with the arm, the arm may slow
down at the almost vertical position momentarily. This phe-
nomenon is not a breakdown. Especially, this phenome-
non will occur when the engine speed is low.

A = Slow-down is remarkable over this range.

• Shift in upperstructure position.

When turning the machine sharply such as spin-turning or
pivot-turning, the upperstructure may be slightly shifted.
This phenomenon is not a breakdown.
A
• Thermal shock of the travel motor.
If, in cold weather, the temperature of the hydraulic oil is
raised 60°C higher than the outside temperature by relief
operation without traveling after the engine has started, so-
metimes the machine cannot pivot-turn because of thermal
shock. This phenomenon is not a breakdown.
• The swing cylinder is extended when digging.
The swing cylinder may be extended in some digging si-
tuations or postures. This phenomenon is not a
breakdown.
• Time lag in travel speed change response.
At low engine speed, a time lag in response may occur
when the travel speed is changed from high-speed to low-
speed. This phenomenon is not a breakdown.

 15 Precautions for Servicing

15 Precautions for Servicing

Do not use any inspection or servicing procedures that
are not described and recommended in this manual.
Park the machine on solid, level ground to inspect and
service it.

Attach the warning tag

When the oil or the cooling water is drained, attach the "SER-
VICING IN PROGRESS" tag to the operator's seat so that
other persons will not start the engine.

Observe the precautions for welding

• Make sure to disconnect the battery cables (positive and
negative terminals).
• Do not apply more than 200 V continuously.
• Ground the machine within 1 m from the welded part.
• Make sure that there is no seal or bearing between the wel-
ded part and the grounded part.
• Do not ground around the pins on the implement or the hy-
draulic cylinder.

Observe the precautions for cleaning the

machine
• Do not spray steam directly at the connectors.
• Do not splash water on the monitors in the cabin.
• Do not spray high-pressure water directly at the radiator
and the oil cooler.

Do not mix oils

Never mix oils of different makes or types. If you have to re-
plenish an oil with a different make or type than the one
already in the tank, remove the remaining oil completely.

16 Basic Servicing Practices

16 Basic Servicing Practices

16.1 Filter
The filters are very important parts which prevent impurities
from getting into critical devices through the lube oil, fuel and
air systems. Replace the filter elements periodically according
to the instructions of the Operation Manual. Under difficult
conditions, you need to replace the filter elements earlier than
suggested in the Operation Manual depending on the type of
oil and fuel (sulfur content).

• Never reuse the filter elements (cartridge type) by cleaning

them.
• When replacing an oil filter element, check that no metallic
dust or foreign solids are present on the old filter.
• If they are found to be present, contact the nearest dealer.
• Do not unpack the filter element before use.
• Use AMMANN YANMAR genuine filter elements.

17 Fueling, Oiling and Greasing Based on

Temperature Range

17.1 Fuel and oil

Select fuel and oil based on the temperature range.
If you start the engine at air temperatures lower than 32°F
(0°C), use SAE10W, SAE10W-30, or SAE15W-40 even if the
temperature in the daytime rises to 50°F (10°C) or so.
Machines can operate using B-type BIO diesel.

17.2 Cooling water

Because a AMMANN YANMAR genuine long-life coolant
(LLC) is added to the cooling water, you need not change it
unless the temperature falls bellow -31°F (-35°C).

19 Maintenance Table

19 Maintenance Table

Daily and periodic inspection are important to keep the ma-

chine in its best condition. The following is a summary of ins-
pection and servicing items by inspection interval. Periodic
inspection intervals vary depending on the use, loads, fuels
and lube oils used and handling conditions. The following
should be treated only as a general standard.
When the time for an inspection approaches, study the rele-
vant pages in the Operation & Maintenance Manual. Keep a
record of daily operation and the results of maintenance work.

19.1 Service intervals when using the

hydraulic breaker
When a hydraulic breaker is used, the hydraulic oil deteriora-
tes earlier than in usual bucket excavating work. Set up the
service time intervals as follows:

• Replacing the hydraulic oil return filter element

Replace the hydraulic oil return filter element on the new
1 machine once after the first 100 to 150 hours. After that, re-
place it referring to the chart at left.
• Replacing the hydraulic oil in the hydraulic oil tank
Replace the hydraulic oil according to the chart at left.

 20 Procedures for Maintenance

20 Procedures for Maintenance

20.1 Checking and adjusting the rubber

crawler tension

CAUTION
• When adjusting the crawler tension while raising the
machine, do not support the machine with the imple-
ment only. The control levers could move or the hy-
draulic oil could flow out accidentally so that the ma-
chine would fall.
• When raising the machine, support it with safety
blocks of sufficient strength. When the machine is
being checked or adjusted by two persons, one must
operate the machine in response to signs from the
other.
How the crawler wears out depends on the working conditions
and the nature of the ground. Be sure to check the crawler for
wear and tension from time to time. When a new crawler is
mounted, perform the first check after 30 hours operation.
Working with the crawler loosened can cause the detrack of
the crawler or an earlier wear out.

1) Lift the machine with the implement. To do this, operate

the control lever slowly.
a 2) The tension of rubber crawlers is proper if the clearance
between the outside rolling surface of the second track
roller from the idler side and the inside surface of the
crawler is within the specified value: H (see the specifica-
tion table)

1 1 = Nipple valve
a = Cap
b b = Track roller
c = Crawler
H 3) The tension of steel crawlers is proper if the clearance
between the lower center of the track frame and the upper
c surface of the shoe plate is within the specified value: H
(see the specification table)

Increasing the crawler tension

4) By using a grease gun, inject grease through the nipple
valve (1) until the crawler tension is within the specified
value: H

85
20 Procedures for Maintenance

Loosening the tension

5) Slowly loosen the nipple valve (1) and discharge the grease
to adjust the crawler tension to the specified value: H
(If the grease is not discharged completely, put down the
machine and move the machine back and forth slightly.)
Tighten the nipple valve (1). Tightening torque : 49.0 N•m

CAUTION
• Grease is under high pressure. If the nipple valve (1) is
loosened suddenly, the grease could be ejected or the
valve could blow, which causes bodily injury.
• Do not look at the valve to determine whether grease
has been discharged or not, but check that by the ten-
sion of the crawler.
• Do not loosen the nipple valve more than one turn.
• It is very dangerous to discharge the grease by any
procedure other than that described above.
• If the rubber crawler cannot be loosened, contact your
dealer and ask for intervention.
6) To check that the tension is proper, put down the machine
and move the machine back and forth slightly.
7) Put back the cap (a).

IMPORTANT
The rubber crawler is not grease-resistant.

Completely wipe off the grease because grease will

shorten its service life.

20.2 Checking and adjusting the fan

belt tension
1) Stop the engine.
2) Open the engine hood rear cover.
3) Press the fan belt between the fan pulley and the genera-
tor with a finger to check the fan belt tension.
Pressing load : Approximately 98,1 N•m
Adequate slack : 10 to 15 mm

20.8 Servicing the air conditioning

heater (depending on model)

Every 15 days
• Operate the air conditioning.
• Check suction filters on the air conditioning heater for clog-
ging and replace them if required.
• Check the correct operation (ventilation and speeds) of the
heater evaporator and the ventilation on the condenser.
• Check the condenser for clogging: Should it be seriously
clogged (impaired air conditioner performance), you can
clean it using pressurised air or water; be careful not to da-
mage the condenser blades.
• Very important: Do not place anything in the condenser
compartment (rags, papers, straps, etc.) to avoid obstruc-
ting the air passage on this exchanger and the risk of im-
pairing the air conditioning performance or even breaking
the refrigeration system (compressor breakage)

Every year

WARNING
In the case of operation in extreme atmospheric and
mechanical conditions, these checks should be carried
out every month.

Check the system operating condition:

• Condenser cleanliness and operation of its ventilation.

• Ventilation speeds on the hot cold exchanger and its clean-
liness.
• Temperature regulation.
• Have a refrigeration engineer check the refrigerant charge
in R134a.

• Maintain the ground in a good condition.
• Use the machine under suitable conditions, by considering
the actual ground conditions and the specific effects of vi-
brations caused by the actual operating mode of the ma-
chine.
• It is recommended that the operator acquaint himself with
and retain the instructions relating to the setting up and
use of attachments.
