2. Project Check
1) Check Coolant Level, Add Coolant

 Do not open the radiator cap unless necessary. Wait for the engine to cool down before
checking the coolant in the sub-tank.
 Immediately after the engine is stopped, the coolant is at a high temperature and the
radiator is under high internal pressure.
 If the cap is removed to check the coolant level in this condition, there is a hazard of burns.
Wait for the temperature to go down, and then turn the cap slowly to release the pressure
before removing it.

A. Open the door (1) the left of the machine and lock it with
the link rod (2), and check if the coolant in sub-tank (3)
(shown in the diagram on the right) is between the FULL and
LOW marks. If the coolant level is low, add coolant to the
FULL level through the filler port of sub-tank (3).
B. After adding coolant, tighten the cap securely.
C. If the sub-tank (3) is empty, there is probably leakage of
coolant. After inspecting, repair any problem immediately. If
there is no problem, check the coolant level in the radiator. If
the coolant level is low, add coolant to the radiator and fill the
sub-tank (3).

2) Check Oil Level, Add Oil

Parts and oil are at high temperature immediately after the engine is stopped and may cause
serious burns. Wait for the oil temperature to go down before performing this operation.

1. Open the engine hood.

2. Remove dipstick, and wipe the oil off with a cloth.
3. Fully insert dipstick into filler pipe, then remove it.
4. The oil level should be between the H and L marks on dipstick. If the oil level is below the L
mark, add oil through oil filler.
5. If the oil is above the H line, open drain valve at the bottom of the engine oil pan, drain the
excess engine oil, then check the oil level again.
6. If oil level is correct, securely tighten the oil filler cap (1) and close the engine hood (3).
REMARK
Before checking the oil level, the engine should have kept stopping for at least 15 minutes.
If the machine is on a slope, park it to a flat ground before checking.

General Operation Information

Traveling
Traveling over boulders, tree stumps, or other obstacles
will cause a big shock to the chassis (and in particular to
the tracks), and this will cause damage to the machine.
For this reason, always remove any obstacles or travel
around them, or take other steps to avoid traveling over
such obstacles as far as possible.
If there is no way to avoid traveling over an obstacle,
reduce the travel speed, keep the work equipment close
to the ground, and try to travel so that the center of the
track passes over the obstacle.
High Speed Travel
On uneven roadbeds such as rock beds or uneven roads with large rocks, travel at low speed.
When traveling at high speed, set the idler in the forward direction.
Permissible Depth of Water

When driving the machine out of water, if the angle of the machine exceeds 15°, the rear of the
upper structure will go under water, and water will be thrown up by the radiator fan. This may
cause the fan to break.
Be extremely careful when driving the machine out of water.

Do not drive the machine in water deeper than the center

of carrier roller (1).

Supply grease to the parts which have been under water

for a long time until the used grease is projected out of
the bearings (around the bucket pin, in particular).

 OPERATION

Traveling on Slopes

 Turning or operating the work equipment when

working on slopes may cause the machine to lose it
balance and turn over, so avoid such operations.
 It is particularly dangerous to swing downhill when the
bucket is loaded.
 If such operations have to be performed, pile soil to
make a platform on the slope so the machine is kept
horizontal during operation.
 Do not travel up or down steep slopes. There is a
danger that the machine may turn over.
 Never turn on slopes or travel across slopes.
 Always go down to a flat place to perform these
operations. It may be longer, but it will ensure safety.
 Always operate or travel in such a way that it is
possible to stop safely at any time if the machine slips
or becomes unstable.
 When traveling uphill, if the shoes slip or it is
impossible to travel uphill using only the force of the
tracks, do not use the pulling force of the arm to help
the machine travel uphill. There is danger that the
machine may turn over.

When traveling down steep hills, use the travel lever and fuel control dial to keep the travel speed
low. When traveling down a steep hill of more than 15°, set the work equipment to the posture
shown in the diagram on the right and lower the engine speed.

REMARK

When traveling up a steep hill of more than 15°, set the

work equipment to the posture shown in the diagram on
the right.
1. Traveling Downhill
Put the travel lever in the neutral position. This will cause
the brake to be automatically applied.
2. If the track shoe is slippery
When walking uphill, if the track shoes are slipping or the force of the track alone cannot be uphill,
the pull of the bucket can be used to help the machine to climb uphill.
3. Engine Stopped on Slope
If the engine stops when traveling uphill, move the travel levers to the neutral position, lower the
bucket to the ground, stop the machine, then start the engine again.

 OPERATION

4. Cab Doors on Slope

If the engine stops when the machine is on a slope, never use the left work equipment control
lever to carry out swing operations. The upper structure will swing under its own weight.

Take good care when opening or closing the sliding door (the cab specification). There is the
danger that it will likely gain momentum due to its own weight and open or shut suddenly.

Escape from Mud

Always operate carefully to avoid getting stuck in mud. If the machine does get stuck in mud, do
as follows to get the machine out.

1. Track on One Side Stuck

NOTICE
When using the boom or arm to raise the machine, always
have the bottom of the bucket in contact with the ground.
The angle between the boom and arm should be 90° to
110°.
The same applies when using the bucket installed in the
reverse direction.

When only one side is stuck in mud, use the bucket to raise the track, then lay boards or logs and
drive the machine out.

2. Tracks on Both Sides Stuck

When the tracks on both sides are stuck in mud and they
slip making it impossible for the machine to move, lay
boards or logs as explained above, and dig the bucket into
the ground in front. Then pull in the arm as in normal
digging operations and put the travel levers in the
FORWARD position to pull the machine out.

Recommended Applications
In addition to the following, it is possible to further increase the range of applications by using
various attachments.

Backhoe Work
A backhoe is suitable for excavating areas that are lower
than the machine.
When the condition of the machine is as shown in the
diagram on the right (angle between [bucket cylinder and
link] and [arm cylinder and arm] is 90°), the maximum
excavation force is obtained from the pushing force of
each cylinder.
When excavating, use this angle effectively to optimize
your working efficiency.
The range for excavating with the arm is from a 45°
angle away from the machine to a 30° angle towards
the machine.
There may be some differences depending on the
excavation depth, but try to stay within the above range
rather than operating the cylinder to the end of its stroke.

Ditching
Ditching work can be performed efficiently by attaching a
bucket which matches the digging operation and then
setting the tracks parallel to the line of the ditch to be
excavated.
To excavate a wide ditch, first dig both sides and then
finally remove the center portion.

Loading Work
In places where the swing angle is narrow, work
efficiency can be enhanced by locating the dump truck in
a place easily visible to the operator.
Loading is easier and capacity greater if you begin from
the behind of the dump truck body than if loading is done
from the side.

1. Forbidden operation
Do not do the following types of work:
 Rubber tracks and road liners can be damaged by handing and steeling on crushed
stone,extremely hard rock,i-beams,scrap iron,or sharp corners of steel plates.
 In places such as riverbeds with lots pebbles,rocks can push in and damage rubber tracks
and road liners,or cause tracks to fall off.If bulldozing operation is carried out when the
track board slips,the service life of rubber track board and road liner will be shortened.
 Be careful not to let oil,fuel or chemical solvents get on the rubber tracks and road liners.If
the material sticks to the shock plate,remove it immediately.Also,don’t walk on oily roads.
 When storing the machine for a long time(three months or more),store it indoors to protect
it form the sun and rain.
 DO not used the machine in hot areas,such as places with burning wood,steel plates
exposed to the hot sun,or places with asphalt.

Battery Discharges and Charges

1. Battery Discharges

 It is dangerous to charge a battery when mounted

on a machine. Make sure that it is dismounted
before charging.
 When checking or handling the battery, stop the
engine and turn the starting switch key to the OFF
position.
 The battery generates hydrogen gas, so there is a
hazard of explosion. Do not bring lighted
cigarettes near the battery, or do anything that will
cause sparks.
 When handling batteries, always wear safety
glasses and rubber gloves.
 Battery electrolyte is dilute sulfuric acid, and it will
attack your clothes and skin. If it gets on your
clothes or on your skin, immediately wash it off
with a large amount of water. If it gets in your eyes,
wash it out with fresh water and consult a doctor.
 When removing the battery, first disconnect the
cable from the ground (normally the negative (-)
terminal). When installing, install the positive (+)
terminal first. If a tool touches the positive terminal
and the chassis, there is danger that it will cause a
spark, so be extremely careful.
 If the terminals are loose, there is danger that the
defective contact may generate sparks that will
cause an explosion.
 When removing or installing the terminals, check
which is the positive(+) terminal and which is the
negative (-) terminal.

2. Battery Charges
When charging the battery, if the battery is not handled correctly, there is a hazard that the battery
may explode. and the instruction manual accompanying the charger, and do as follows.
 Set the voltage of the charger to match the voltage of the battery to be charged. If the correct
voltage is not selected, the charger may overheat and cause an explosion.
 Connect the positive (+) charger clip of the charger to
the positive (+) terminal of the battery, then connect
the negative (-) charger clip of the charger to the
negative (-) terminal of the battery. Be sure to attach
the clips securely.
 Set the charging current to 1/10 of the value of the
rated battery capacity; when carrying out rapid
charging, set it to less than the rated battery capacity.
 If the charger current is too high, the electrolyte will
leak or dry up, and this may cause the battery to catch
fire and explode.
 If the battery electrolyte is frozen, do not charge the battery or start the engine with a different
power source. There is a danger that this will ignite the battery electrolyte and cause the
battery to explode.

 MAINTENANCE

Dusty Jobsite
When working at dusty worksites, do as follows:
 Clean the radiator fins and other parts of the heat exchange equipment more frequently, and
take care not to let the fins become clogged.
 Replace the fuel filter more frequently.
 Clean electrical components, especially the starting motor and alternator, to avoid
accumulation of dust.
 When checking and replacing the oil or filters, move the machine to a place where there is no
dust and take care
 To prevent dust from entering the system.

Avoid Mixing Lubricants

If a different brand or grade of oil has to be added, drain the old oil and replace all the
oil with the new brand or grade of oil. Never mix different brand or grade of oil.
Locking the Inspection Covers
Lock inspection cover securely into position with the lock bar. If inspection or maintenance is
performed with inspection cover not locked in position, there is a danger that it may be suddenly
blow shut by the wind and cause injury to the worker.
Hydraulic System - Air Bleeding
When hydraulic equipment has been repaired or replaced, or the hydraulic piping has been
removed and installed again, the air must be bled from the circuit.
Hydraulic Hose Installation
 When removing parts at locations where there are O-rings or gasket seals, clean the
mounting surface, and replace with new parts.When doing this, be careful not to forget to
assemble the O-rings and gaskets.
 When installing the hoses, do not twist them or bend them sharply. If they are installed so,
their service life will be shortened extremely and they may be damaged.

Checks After Inspection and Maintenance Works

If you forget to perform the checks after inspection and maintenance, unexpected problems may
occur, and this may lead to serious injury or property damage. Always do the following:
Checks after operation (with engine stopped)
 Have any inspection and maintenance points been forgotten?
 Have all inspection and maintenance items been performed correctly?
 Have any tools or parts been dropped inside the machine? It is particularly dangerous if parts
are dropped inside the machine and get caught in the lever linkage mechanism.
 Are there any leakages of coolant or oil? Have all nuts and bolts been tightened?
Checks when operating engine
 For details of the checks when operating the engine, see "Maintenance of the Engine" and
pay careful attention to safety.
 Are the inspection and maintenance items working properly?Is there any leakage of fuel or oil
when the engine speed is raised?

SHANTUI CONSTRUCTION MACHINERY CO., LTD 131

 MAINTENANCE

Lubricant, Coolant, and Filters

1. Oil
 Oil is used in the engine and hydraulic equipment under extremely severe conditions (high
temperature, high pressure), and deteriorates with use.
 Always use oil that matches the grade and maximum and minimum ambient temperatures
recommended in the Operator’s Manual. Even if the oil is not dirty, always change the oil at
the specified interval.
 Oil corresponds to blood in the human body, always be careful when handling it to prevent
any impurities (water, metal particles, dirt, etc.) from getting in.
 The majority of problems with the machine are caused by the entry of such impurities.
 Take particular care not to let any impurities get in when storing or adding oil.
 Never mix oils of different grades or brands.
 Always add the specified amount of oil.
 Having too much oil or too little oil are both causes of problems.
 If the oil in the work equipment is not clear, there is probably water or air getting into the circuit.
In such cases, please contact your SHANTUI distributor.
 When changing the oil, always replace the related filters at the same time.
 We recommend you have an analysis made of the oil periodically to check the condition of the
machine. For those who wish to use this service, please contact your SHANTUI distributor.
 When using commercially available oil, it may be necessary to reduce the oil change interval.
 We recommend that you use the SHANTUI oil clinic to carry out a detailed checks of the
characteristics of the oil.
2. Fuel
 To prevent the moisture in the air from condensing and forming water inside the fuel tank,
always fill the fuel tank after completing the day's work.
 The fuel pump is a precision instrument, and if fuel containing water or dirt is used, it
cannot work properly.
 Be extremely careful not to let impurities get in when storing or adding fuel.
 Always use the fuel specified for the temperature in the Operator’s Manual.
 If the fuel is used at temperatures lower than the specified temperature (particularly at
temperatures below -15°C (5°F), the fuel will solidify.
 If the fuel is used at temperatures higher than the specified temperature, the viscosity will
drop, and this may result in problems such as a drop in output.
 Before starting the engine, or when 10 minutes have passed after adding fuel, drain the
sediment and water from the fuel tank.
 If the engine runs out of fuel, or if the filters have been replaced, it is necessary to bleed
the air from the circuit.
 If there is any foreign material in the fuel tank, wash the tank and fuel system.
3. Coolant and Water for Dilution
 When using antifreeze, always observe the precautions given in the Operator’s Manual.
 SHANTUI machines are supplied with SHANTUI Coolant. SHANTUI Coolant has excellent
anticorrosion, antifreeze and cooling properties and can be used continuously for1 years or
2000 hours.
 When diluting the antifreeze coolant, use distilled water or tap water (soft water).

132 SHANTUI CONSTRUCTION MACHINERY CO., LTD

 MAINTENANCE

 Antifreeze coolant is flammable, so be sure to keep it away from flame.

 The ratio of coolant to water differs according to the ambient temperature. In this case, never
add diluting water.
 If the engine overheats, wait for the engine to cool before adding coolant.
 If the coolant level is low, it will cause overheating, and will also cause problems with
corrosion due to air entering the coolant.

4. Grease
 Grease is used to prevent seizure and noises at the joints.
 This construction equipment is used under heavy-duty conditions. Always use the
recommended grease and follow the change intervals and recommended ambient
temperatures given in this Operator’s Manual.
 The nipples not included in the maintenance section are nipples for overhaul, so they do not
need grease.
If any part becomes stiff after being used for long time, add grease.
 Always wipe off all of the old grease that is pushed out when greasing.
Be particularly careful to wipe off the old grease in places where sand or dirt sticking in the
grease would cause wear of the rotating parts.

5. Storing Oil and Fuel

 Keep indoors to prevent any water, dirt, or other impurities from getting in.
 When keeping drum cans for a long period, put the drum on its side so that the filler port of the
drums is at the side to prevent moisture from being sucked in.
 If drums have to be stored outside, cover them with a waterproof sheet or take other
measures to protect them.
 To prevent any change in quality during long-term storage, be sure to use in the order of first
in - first out (use the oldest oil or fuel first).

6. Filters
 Filters are extremely important safety parts. They prevent impurities in the fuel and air circuits
from entering important equipment and causing problems.
 Replace all filters periodically. For details, see the Operator’s Manual.
 However, when working in severe conditions, replace the filters at shorter intervals according
to the oil and fuel (sulfur content) being used.
 Never try to clean the filters (cartridge type) and use them again. Always replace with new
filters.
 When replacing oil filters, check if any metal particles are attached to the old filter. If any metal
particles are found, contact your SHANTUI distributor.
 Do not open packs of spare filters until just before they are to be used.
 Always use SHANTUI genuine filters.

SHANTUI CONSTRUCTION MACHINERY CO., LTD 133

 MAINTENANCE

Electric System Maintenance

 It is extremely dangerous if the electrical equipment becomes wet or the covering of the wiring
is damaged. This will cause an electrical short circuit and may lead to malfunction of the
machine. Do not wash the inside of the operator's cab with water. When washing the machine,
be careful not to let water get into the electrical components.
 Service relating to the electric system is checking fan belt tension, checking damage or wear
to the fan belt and checking battery fluid level.
 Never install any electric components other than those specified by SHANTUI.
 External electron-magnetic interference may cause malfunction of the control system
controller, before installing a radio receiver or other wireless equipment, contact your
SHANTUI distributor.
 When working at the seashore, carefully clean the electric system to prevent corrosion.
 When installing electrical equipment, connect it to the special power source connector.
 Do not connect the optional power source to the fuse, starting switch, or battery relay.

Maintenance of hydraulic system

 The hydraulic device is in high temperature during and after operation.In addition, due to the
high pressure in the process of operation, the following matters should be noted during the
inspection and maintenance of the hydraulic device:
 Leave the machine in a flat place so that the bucket is completely lowered to the ground,
and check and maintain it without pressure applied to the oil path of the cylinder.
 Be sure to stop the engine
 After the operation, the hydraulic oil and lubricating oil are still in the state of high
temperature and high pressure, and the maintenance can only be carried out after the oil
temperature of each part drops.
 Sometimes even though the temperature has dropped, the internal pressure is still there.
The internal pressure should be released before maintenance.At the same time, slowly
loosen the screw plug, screw and screw loose pipe joint, avoid the front of the body, and
remove it while releasing internal pressure.
 During the inspection and maintenance of the hydraulic oil circuit, please be sure to
discharge the air in the hydraulic tank and release the internal pressure.
 Inspection and maintenance includes inspection of hydraulic oil level, filter and replacement of
hydraulic oil.When removing the high pressure hose, be careful not to damage the o-ring.If
there is any damage, please replace it.
 When replacing and cleaning the filter element and screen of the hydraulic oil filter, when
repairing, replacing and removing the hydraulic piping of the hydraulic device, air shall be
discharged from the oil path.

before checking.
 When checking the oil level before the engine has
been operated, or wait for at least 15 minutes
after stopping the engine before checking.
 Oil level should be checked every day, while oil
too much or too little will cause fault.

1) Open the engine hood and ensure that the gas

spring is locked.
2) Pull out the oil level gauge (G) and dry the oil with a
clean cloth.
3) Re-insert the oil gauge (G) completely into the oil
pipe and pull it out.Observe the oil level of the oil level.
4) If the oil level is between H and L, it indicates
normal.If the oil level is lower than the L mark, it
should be filled through the filler port (F).Appropriate
amount of oil and then check the oil level.

Cooling System
If engine temperature is too high, you should clean the radiator even if coolant level is normal.
If engine temperature remains too high, you must contact an authorized service center for remedy.
The coolant could antifreezing and rust proofing, and it should check antifreeze properties every
500h.
Coolant should be changed every 2,000h or 1year, whichever comes first.
When delivered, the cooling system has been filled with mixture of coolant-water and concentrated
antifreeze which can lower freezing point of coolant and raise its boiling point.
The concentrated antifreeze solution contains effective rustproof additives which are used to
protect the engine and radiator. The endurance of these additives is limited.

NOTICE:
Never mix the concentrated antifreeze solution with any antifreeze or additive produced by other
manufacturer. The mixture may bring adverse effects.
Antifreeze content should not be less than 40%.
Cooling system capacity is approx 28L.
The 40% antifreeze can lower freezing point to -25℃.
The 50% antifreeze can lower freezing point to -37℃.

(1)Checking coolant level and pipeline

After the engine is just turned off, coolant is still hot. Do not directly open the radiator cap rapidly
before coolant cools down. Instead, open it slowly to release internal pressure.

Check coolant level on a daily basis as follows:

1) Open left side door , lock the support frame .
2) Check coolant level in surge tank .
 If liquid level is between “FULL” and “LOW”, it is OK.
 If liquid level is below “LOW”, fill surge tank(3) with coolant up
to between “FULL” and “LOW”.
 If the surge tank(3) is empty, check and fix it in time.
3) Open engine cover (5).

4) Open main radiator cap(4) and check coolant volume. Put water
to water tank if the liquid level is low.

Air Filter
(1) Air cleaner overview
The air cleaner can prevent dust and other foreign materials from entering the engine. Air enters
the outer main filter first and then the safety element.
The degree of wear of the engine largely depends on the cleanliness of the suction air. Therefore,
you must check the air cleaner periodically and service it properly. This is very important. When
working with the air cleaner, maintain high cleanliness.
NOTICE:
 Under any circumstances, never run an engine without filter or with a damaged filter.
 Regular check pipes of the air filter to the engine intake manifold to be sure not happen leak
and damage.
 To prepare a standby air filter and save it at drying and fine dust place.

The air filter adopts radial sealing and

double-layer filtering, and its structure is as
follows:
A. Dust alarm sensor
B. Air cleaner element hood
C. Safety filter
D.Main filter
E.O-ring
F.Cap
G.SHANTUI label
H. Check number label
J. Dedusting valve

 If inspection, cleaning, or maintenance is carried out with the engine running, dirt will enter the
engine and cause damage to the engine. Always stop the engine before carrying out these
operations.
 When using compressed air, there is danger of dirt flying and causing personal injury.Always
wear protective glasses, dust mask, or other protective equipment.

(2)Check Air Intake Resistance

Do not clean the air cleaner element until the air cleaner
clogging monitor on the monitor panel light up. If the
element is cleaned frequently before the air cleaner clogging
monitor light up, the air cleaner will not be able to display its
performance fully, and the cleaning efficiency will also go
down.

1. Compressor oil perfusion
The air conditioning system is injected with a
certain amount of oil to lubricate. The compressor
oil is dissolved in the refrigerant and circulates
throughout the system. When the air conditioning
system is shut down, the compressor oil is retained
when the system components are replaced with
the main components. If you do not add the right
amount of oil to the system, it will result in
insufficient lubrication.
The amount of oil that should be replenished
when replacing the main components is as shown
on the right:
NOTE:
·The amount of oil required for the circulation
system has been injected into the new
compressor. When replacing the compressor, the
excess oil in the machine should be drained.
·Unsuitable amount of compressor oil injection: If
excessive compressor oil is injected into the air
conditioning system, the cooling capacity will
decrease. If there is too little compressor oil in the
system, the compressor will be abnormally worn and stuck.
·When removing the compressor, protect the pipe joints and the O-rings from cleaning.

Windshield washer fluid inspection and perfusion

If there is gas in the cleaning solution, open the left door and check the level in the scrubber. Add
window cleaning fluid if needed.
When adding liquid, be careful not to allow dust to enter.
Lock cylinder

 After the door lock is used for a period of time, there will be dust and impurities in the lock core,
which will cause the lock core to become stuck and fail to open. Do not force it to open,
otherwise the lock core will be damaged.
 Fill the oil every 250 hours.

When the key is inserted halfway, the lock core dust cover is opened. At this time, the carburetor
cleaning agent is sprayed into the lock cylinder. The key is fully inserted into the lock cylinder for
several rotations, half of the key is pulled out, and the cleaning agent is sprayed again. It can
effectively remove internal impurities.
After cleaning, add a small amount of diluted lubricant.
In addition, pre-tighten the hood lock shaft and apply a small amount of lubricant to the lock shaft
and lock contact.

SHANTUI CONSTRUCTION MACHINERY CO., LTD 187

 ATTACHMENTS AND OPTIONS

Safety First
When installing attachments or options to the machine, it is necessary to pay attention to safety.
Please obey the following precautions strictly when selecting, installing, or using attachments or
options.
Install only attachments or options authorized by SHANTUI. SHANTUI cannot accept any
responsibility for any accident, damage, or failure caused by the use of attachments or options not
authorized by SHANTUI.

 Please consult your SHANTUI distributor before installing attachments or options to the
machine. Depending on the type of attachment or option, it may be necessary to install a front
guard, overhead guard, or other safety structure to the machine. There may also be problems
of the attachment or option hitting the operator's cab.
 Before installing or using any attachment or option, make sure that you thoroughly read and
understand the instruction manuals for the machine and the attachment or option.
 To prevent serious accidents due to misoperation, do not put your feet on the pedals except
when you operate the pedals.
 Before operating, set alarm lines around the machine to prevent personnel from entering. Do
not operate the machine while someone is near the machine.
 According to the attachments, vibration noise will make it difficult for colleagues to convey the
instructions, before operating, to assign a command, and determine the signal to be used.

Precautions when removing or installing

When removing or installing the attachment or option, obey the following precautions, and take
care to ensure safety during the operation.
 Carry out the removal and installation operation on a flat, firm ground surface.
 When the operation is carried out by two or more workers, choose the leader and follow his
instructions.
 Use a crane when handling heavy objects (more than 25 kg (55 lb)). (The crane must be
operated by a qualified operator.)
 Never go under a load raised by the crane.
 Do not carry out operations with the load kept raised by the crane. Always use a stand to
prevent the load from falling.
 When removing a heavy part, consider the balance after it is removed. To prevent the
machine from tipping over, set a support in position if necessary before removing the part.
 Before installing or after removing the attachment or option, set it in a stable condition to
prevent it from falling over.

Note
For details of the removal or installation operation, please consult your SHANTUI distributor.

 ATTACHMENTS AND OPTIONS

Attachment Installation

When long or heavy work equipment is installed,

remember the following precautions.
 Before starting operations, move the machine to a
safe place and carry out a test operation to make sure
that you fully understand the movement, center of
gravity, and working range of the machine.
 Do not swing the work equipment if the machine is at
an angle. If the work equipment is swung with the
machine at an angle, there is danger that the machine
will tip over.
 Always maintain a safe distance from obstacles in the
surrounding area when operating. If long work
equipment is installed, the working range becomes
larger.
 If heavy work equipment is installed, pay careful
attention to the following precautions.
 The swing overrun (the distance the work equipment
moves before completely stopping after the swing
brake is applied) will be greater. There is danger of
hitting objects if the swing overrun is miscalculated,
so allow extra space to the swing position when
swinging.
 The hydraulic drift of the work equipment (the amount
of the work equipment moves down under its own
weight when it is stopped in a raised position) also becomes greater. Do not stop the work
equipment in a raised position; always lower it to the ground.
 Do not swing, lower, or stop the work equipment suddenly. There is danger that the machine
may tip over.
 Do not suddenly extend or retract the boom cylinder. The shock may cause the machine to tip
over.

Main Applications
 Crushed rock
 Demolition work
 Road construction
This attachment can be used for a wide range of
applications including demolition of buildings,
breaking up road surfaces or slag, tunnel work, rock
crushing and breaking operations in quarries.

 Keep the chisel pushed perpendicularly against

the impactsurface when carrying out breaking
operations.

 When applying impact, push the chisel against

the impact surface and operate so that the
chassis rises approx. 5 cm (2 in) off the ground.
Do not let the machine come further off the
ground than this amount.

190 SHANTUI CONSTRUCTION MACHINERY CO., LTD

ATTACHMENTS AND OPTIONS

 When applying continuous impact to the same

impact surface, if the chisel does not penetrate
or break the surface within 1 minute, change
the point of impact and carry out breaking
operations closer to the edge.

 The direction of penetration of the chisel and

the direction of the breaker body will gradually
move out of line with each other, always adjust
the bucket cylinder to keep them aligned.

 Always keep the chisel pressed against the

impact surface properly to prevent using the
impact force when there is no resistance.

Prohibited Works
To ensure that the machine has a long life, and to ensure that operations are carried out in
safety, do not operate the machine in any of the
following ways.
 Do not operate all cylinders to the end of their
strokes. Always leave approx. 5 cm (2 in) to
spare.
 Using the mount to gather in pieces of rock.

 Operations using the swing force

Supply Grease in the Correct Position

NOTICE
If the breaker is greased in an improper posture, it is filled with more grease than necessary. As
a result, soil and sand will enter the hydraulic circuit and can damage the hydraulic components,
while the breaker is in use. Therefore, be sure to grease the breaker, holding it in the right
posture.

Other specific steps refer to "hydraulic breaker

operation and maintenance manual"
