4. When raising heavy components, use a hoist or crane. Check that the wire rope, chains and hooks are free from damage.
Always use lifting equipment which has ample capacity. Install the lifting equipment at the correct places. Use a hoist or
crane and operate slowly to prevent the component from hitting any other part. Do not work with any part still raised by
the hoist or crane.

5. When removing covers which are under internal pressure or under pressure from a spring, always leave two bolts in
position on opposite sides. Slowly release the pressure, then slowly loosen the bolts to remove.

6. When removing components, be careful not to break or damage the wiring. Damaged wiring may cause electrical fires.

7. When removing piping, stop the fuel or oil from spilling out. If any fuel or oil drips on to the floor, wipe it up immediately.
Fuel or oil on the floor can cause you to slip, or can even start fires.

8. Never use flammable liquids to clean parts, use only non-flammable approved cleaning solutions to clean parts.

9. Be sure to assemble all parts again in their original places. Replace any damaged part with new parts.
• When installing hoses and wires, be sure that they will not be damaged by contact with other parts when the machine
is being operated.

10. When installing high pressure hoses, make sure that they are not twisted. Damaged tubes are dangerous, so be extremely
careful when installing tubes for high pressure circuits. Also check that connecting parts are correctly installed.

11. When assembling or installing parts, always use the specified tightening torques. When installing protective parts such as
guards, or parts which vibrate violently or rotate at high speed, be particularly careful to check that they are installed
correctly.

12. When aligning two holes, never insert your fingers or hand. Be careful not to get your fingers caught in a hole.

13. When measuring hydraulic pressure, check that the measuring tool is correctly assembled before taking any
measurements.

14. Take care when removing or installing the tracks of track-type machines. When removing the track, the track separates
suddenly, so never let anyone stand at either end of the track.

15. Precautions for disconnecting and connecting hoses and tubes in air conditioner circuit.
A. Disconnection

WARNING! Collect the air conditioner refrigerant gas (R134a).

If the refrigerant gas (R134a) gets in your eyes, you may lose your sight. Accordingly,
when collecting or adding it, you must be qualified for handling the refrigerant and put on
protective goggles.

B. Connection

i. When installing the air conditioner circuit hoses and tubes, take care that dirt, dust, water, etc. will not enter
them.

ii. When connecting the air conditioner hoses and tubes, check that O-rings (1) are fitted to their joints.

iii. Check that each O-ring is not damaged or deteriorated.

iv. When connecting the refrigerant piping, apply compressor oil for refrigerant (R134a) (DENSO: ND-OIL8,
ZEXEL: ZXL100PG (equivalent to PAG46)) to its O-rings.

FOREWORD SAFETY
★ Example of O-ring (Fitted to every joint of hoses and tubes)
★ For tightening torque, see the precautions for installation in each sec-
tion of "Disassembly and Assembly".

16. When jump starting the machine, only use a machine of similar size and voltage. Never use an arc welder or other electri-
cal generating equipment to jump start the machine. Carefully review the safety and procedures for jump starting the
machine.

HANDLING ELECTRIC EQUIPMENT AND HYDRAULIC
COMPONENTS 00

To maintain the performance of the machine over a long period, and to prevent failures or other 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 and is aimed at improving the quality of repairs. For this purpose, it gives
sections on "Handling electric equipment" and "Handling hydraulic equipment" (particularly gear oil and hydraulic oil).

Points To Remember When Handling Electric Equipment 00

1. Handling wiring harnesses and connectors.

• Wiring harnesses consist of wiring connecting one component
to another component, connectors used for connecting and
disconnecting one wire from another wire, and protectors or
tubes used for protecting the wiring.
• Compared with other electrical components fitted 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 careful when
handling wiring harnesses.
2. Main failures occurring in wiring harness.
A. Defective contact of connectors (defective contact between male
and female).

• Problems with defective contact are likely to occur because

the male connector is not properly inserted into the female
connector, or because one or both connectors are deformed
or the position is not correctly aligned, or there is corrosion
or oxidation of the contact surfaces.

B. Defective crimping or soldering of connectors.

• The pins of the male and female connectors are in contact at

the crimped terminal or soldered portion, but if there is
excessive force brought to bear on the wiring, the plating at
the joint will peel and cause improper connection or
breakage.

FOREWORD HANDLING ELECTRIC EQUIPMENT AND HYDRAULIC COMPONENTS
C. Disconnections in wiring.

• If the wiring is held and the connectors are pulled apart, or

components are lifted with a crane with the wiring still
connected, or a heavy object hits the wiring, the crimping of
the connector may separate, or the soldering may be
damaged, or the wiring may be broken.

D. High-pressure water entering connector.

• The connector is designed to make it difficult 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 splash water over the connector.
The connector is designed to prevent water from entering,
but at the same time, if water does enter, it is difficult for it
to be drained.
• Therefore, 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.

E. Oil or dirt stuck to connector.

• If oil or grease are stuck to the connector and an oil film is

formed on the mating surface between the male and female
pins, the oil will not let the electricity pass, so there will be
defective contact. If there is oil or grease stuck to the con-
nector, wipe it off with a dry cloth or blow it dry with com-
pressed air and spray it with a contact restorer.
★ When wiping the mating portion of the connector, be
careful not to use excessive force or deform the pins.
★ If there is oil or water in the compressed air, the
contacts will become even dirtier, so completely
remove the oil and water from the compressed air
before cleaning with compressed air.

FOREWORD HANDLING ELECTRIC EQUIPMENT AND HYDRAULIC COMPONENTS
3. Removing, installing, and drying connectors and wiring harnesses
A. Disconnecting connectors.

• Hold the connectors when disconnecting.

When disconnecting the connectors, hold the connectors.
For connectors held by a screw, completely loosen the
screw, then hold the male and female connectors in each
hand and pull apart. For connectors which have a lock
stopper, press the stopper down with your thumb and pull
the connectors apart.
★ Never pull with one hand.

B. When removing from clips

• Both of the connector and clip have stoppers, which are

engaged with each other when the connector is installed.

• When removing a connector from a clip, pull connector in a

parallel direction to the clip for removing stoppers.
★ If the connector is twisted up and down or to the left or
right, the housing may break.

C. Action to take after removing connectors.

After removing any connector, cover it with a vinyl bag to
prevent any dust, dirt, oil, or water from entering into the
connector portion.

★ If the machine is left disassembled for a long time, it is

particularly easy for improper contact to occur, so always
cover the connector.

FOREWORD HANDLING ELECTRIC EQUIPMENT AND HYDRAULIC COMPONENTS
4. Connecting connectors
A. Check the connector visually.

• Check that there is no oil, dirt, or water stuck to the

connector pins (mating portion). Check that there is no
deformation, defective contact, corrosion, or damage to the
connector pins. Check that there is no damage or breakage
to the outside of the connector.

• If there is any oil, water, or dirt stuck to the connector, wipe

it off with a dry cloth. If any water has got inside the
connector, warm the inside of the wiring with a dryer, but
be careful not to make it too hot as this will cause short
circuits.
• If there is any damage or breakage, replace the connector.

B. Fix the connector securely.

• Align the position of the connector correctly, and then insert

it securely. For connectors with lock stopper, push in the
connector until the stopper clicks into position.

C. Correct any protrusion of the boot and any misalignment of the

wiring harness.

• For connectors fitted with boots, correct any protrusion of

the boot. In addition, if the wiring harness is misaligned,
or the clamp is out of position, adjust it to its correct
position.

★ If the connector cannot be corrected easily, remove the

clamp and adjust the position.
★ If the connector clamp has been removed, be sure to
return it to its original position. Check also that there
are no loose clamps.

D. Connecting DT connectors

• Since the DT 8-pin and 12-pin heavy duty wire connectors

have two latches respectively, push them in until they click
two times.

1. Male connector
2. Female connector
★ Normal locking state (Horizontal): a, b, d
★ Incomplete locking state (Diagonal): c

FOREWORD HANDLING ELECTRIC EQUIPMENT AND HYDRAULIC COMPONENTS
E. Drying wiring harness

• If there is any oil or dirt on the wiring harness, wipe it off

with a dry cloth. Avoid washing it in water or using steam.
If the connector must be washed in water, do not use
high-pressure water or steam directly on the wiring harness.
If water gets directly on the connector, do as follows.
• Disconnect the connector and wipe off the water with a dry
cloth.
★ If the connector is blown dry with compressed air,
there is the risk that oil in the air may cause defective
contact, so remove all oil and water from the
compressed air before blowing with air.

• Dry the inside of the connector with a dryer.

• If water gets inside the connector, use a dryer to dry the
connector.
★ Hot air from the dryer can be used, but regulate the
time that the hot air is used in order not to make the
connector or related parts too hot, as this will cause
deformation or damage to the connector.

• Perform a continuity test on the connector.

• After drying, leave the wiring harness disconnected and
perform a continuity test to check for any short circuits
between pins caused by water.
★ After completely drying the connector, blow it with
contact restorer and reassemble.

5. Handling controller
A. The controller contains a microcomputer and electronic control
circuits. These control all of the electronic circuits on the
machine, so be extremely careful when handling the controller.

B. Do not place objects on top of the controller.

C. Cover the control connectors with tape or a vinyl bag. Never

touch the connector contacts with your hand.

D. During rainy weather, do not leave the controller in a place

where it is exposed to rain.

FOREWORD HANDLING ELECTRIC EQUIPMENT AND HYDRAULIC COMPONENTS
E. Do not place the controller on oil, water, or soil, or in any hot
place, even for a short time. (Place it on a suitable dry stand).

F. Precautions when performing arc welding.

• When performing arc welding on the body, disconnect all

wiring harness connectors connected to the controller. Fit
an arc welding ground close to the welding point.

6. Points to remember when troubleshooting electric circuits.

A. Always turn the power OFF before disconnecting or
connecting connectors.

B. Before performing troubleshooting, check that all the related

connectors are properly inserted.

• Disconnect and connect the related connectors several

times to check.
C. Always connect any disconnected connectors before going on to
the next step.

• If the power is turned ON with the connectors still

disconnected, unnecessary abnormality displays will be
generated.
D. When performing troubleshooting of circuits (measuring the voltage, resistance, continuity, or current), move the
related wiring and connectors several times and check that there is no change in the reading of the tester.

• If there is any change, there is probably a defective contact in that circuit.

Points To Remember When Handling Hydraulic Equipment 00

With the increase in pressure and precision of hydraulic equipment, the most common cause of failure is dirt (foreign material)
in the hydraulic circuit. When adding hydraulic oil, or when disassembling or assembling hydraulic equipment, it is necessary
to be particularly careful.

1. Be careful of the operating environment.

• Avoid adding hydraulic oil, replacing filters, or repairing the
machine in rain or high winds, or places where there is a lot of
dust.

2. Disassembly and maintenance work in the field

• If disassembly or maintenance work is performed on hydraulic
equipment in the field, there is danger of dust entering the
equipment. It is also difficult to check the performance after
repairs, so it is desirable to use unit exchange. Disassembly and
maintenance of hydraulic equipment should be performed in a
specially prepared dust proof workshop, and the performance
should be checked with special test equipment.

3. Sealing openings
• After any piping or equipment is removed, the openings should
be sealed with caps, tapes, or vinyl bags to prevent any dirt or
dust from entering. If the opening is left open or is blocked with
a rag, there is danger of dirt entering or of the surrounding area
being made dirty by leaking oil so never do this. Do not simply
drain oil out onto the ground, but collect it and ask the customer
to dispose of it, or take it back with you for disposal.

4. Do not let any dirt or dust get in during refilling operations

• Be careful not to let any dirt or dust get in when refilling with
hydraulic oil. Always keep the oil filler and the area around it
clean, and also use clean pumps and oil containers. If an oil
cleaning device is used, it is possible to filter out the dirt that has
collected during storage, so this is an even more effective
method.

5. Change hydraulic oil when the temperature is high

• When hydraulic oil or other oil is warm, it flows easily. In addi-
tion, sludge can also easily be drained out from the circuit
together with the oil, so it is best to change oil when it is still
warm. When changing the oil, as much as possible of the old
hydraulic oil must be drained out. (Drain the oil from the hydraulic tank, also drain the oil from the filter and from the
drain plug in the circuit.) If any old oil is left, contaminants and sludge in it will mix with the new oil and will shorten
the life of the hydraulic oil.
