1-46 Safety
 XE75DA HYDRAULIC EXCAVATOR OPERATOR’S MANUAL

There is always pressure within the hydraulic system, check up if the pressure within the hydraulic oil pipe
is released when checking or replacing pipe or hose. If there is still pressure in the oil pipe, it may cause
serious injury or damage, so do as the following provisions:
• When the hydraulic system has pressure, do not carry out inspection or replacement before releasing the
pressure.
• If the surrounding area of the pipes or the hoses is wet, the pipes or the hoses should be checked for
breakage, and whether the hoses inflate. When checking, goggles and leather gloves should be worn.
• The high-pressure oil leaking from small orifices can penetrate into skin, and cause blindness if contact
directly. If the high pressure oil flow hits the skin or eyes and cause injury, wash with clean water and
immediately go to hospital for treatment.

Safe Operation of High Pressure Hose

• If the hose leaks, it may cause fire or faulty operation, resulting in serious injury or damage. If the bolt
loose is found, stop operations and screw up/down the bolts to the specified tightening torque. If you
find any damage of the hose, stop operation immediately and contact the dealers of XCMG Excavator

• Drag it slowly to keep the rope level and
parallel with the track.

3.7 Hydraulic Knapper

Installing a hydraulic knapper and its line without authorization from our company may cause
serious malfunction. This is beyond the warranty coverage of the excavator.

A. Selecting hydraulic knapper

3-28 Operation
 XE75DA HYDRAULIC EXCAVATOR OPERATOR’S MANUAL

If you want to install a hydraulic knapper, take the stability of the equipment into account, and ensure that
this modification is appropriate. Also, proper pressure and flow should be allowed for. Then, you can con-
tact an agent to select an appropriate hydraulic knapper.
B. Hydraulic hoses and hard tubes of knapper
1. When installing the hydraulic knapper, do the job according to the drawings coming with the unit.
If you want to remove the knapper from the excavator, close hoses and hard tubes with plugs and covers
to prevent entry of foreign materials into the hydraulic system. Prevent impurities from entering the hy-
draulic system.
3. Close the knapper joints with covers and plugs to prevent entry of foreign materials.
4. Before start of operation, check all hydraulic joints for evidence of leakage or looseness.
C. Hydraulic knapper operations
Notice:Settings of hydraulic oil pressure and flow may require modifications.

1. Be sure to read and comprehend the owner's

manual of the knapper.
2. Check all mechanical and hydraulic
connections.

3. Do not use the knapper as a hammer. Do not

drop the knapper from a very high place The
knapper is comparatively heavy and drops fast, so,
do not drop the knapper from a very high place;
Otherwise, its top structure will be damaged.
When operating the knapper, do not extend the
boom or stick cylinder completely. A 50 mm or
larger clearance should be maintained between the
cylinder rod end and the cylinder end so as to
prevent the cylinder from damage when you
operate the knapper.

Operation 3-29
 XE75DA HYDRAULIC EXCAVATOR OPERATOR’S MANUAL

5. If the cylinder hoses vibrate excessively, do not

use the knapper. Such as Fig. 78. Check the
hydraulic accumulator of the knapper for damage;
if needed, repair. If the excavator works in such
conditions, its structure and hydraulic package
may be damaged.

6. If related equipment is unavailable, working

underwater will not be allowed. When the knapper
body immerges into water, the knapper seals will
be damaged and become rusty so that the external
materials or water can enter the hydraulic system
to cause failure. Only head of the knapper can be
inserted into water.

7. Do not use the knapper to lift or haul any

object.

8. The knapper can work only when mounted at

front or tail of the excavator. Do not mount it at
left or right side for the purpose. When operating,
do not swing back and forth.

3-30 Operation
 XE75DA HYDRAULIC EXCAVATOR OPERATOR’S MANUAL

If top body of the excavator is normal to the crawler, the knapper operation may cut service life of
the machine or result in machine rollover.

9. When walking or parking. During travel or

parking, do not retract the knapper to the bucket
stick or boom.

10. Do not use the knapper or bucket to move

crushed objects, especially, avoid moving using
turning power; otherwise, the boom, bucket stick
and knapper will be damaged.

D. Change periods of hydraulic oil and filter element

When using the hydraulic knapper, the hydraulic oil will be contaminated rapidly and its viscosity will
drop. because this operating condition is more severe than that during digging operation. Refer to the fol-
lowing table to change hydraulic oil and replace hydraulic oil filter element In order to prevent service life
cut of hydraulic parts due to composition changes of hydraulic oil (especially, main pump).

3.8 Operations in Special Conditions

Notice:seeFig. 4－51“Maintenances in special conditions”.
A. Operations in extremely cold conditions
If the machine works in extremely cold days, protective measures must be taken to ensure normal opera-
tion. The following detailed inspection can ensure normal operation of the machine at extremely low
temperature.
• Check if correct antifreeze is added in the cooling system at extremely low temperature. Check the cool-
ing system carefully and record status of leakage.
• Keep the battery fully charged to prevent freezing. If water has been added into the battery, run the en-
gine for at least 1 hour to enable the water mix with the electrolyte.
• Maintain the engine at optimum so that it is easy to start and operate the engine even in adverse weather
conditions.
• Select engine oil of proper specification according to temperature. Refer to “Lubrication and Specifi-
cations” in engine manual for details.
• Ensure that the fuel tank is full of fuel at any time. Before operation, drain condensate in the fuel tank.
Take out and service the fuel filter element, drain concretions (e.g. wax), and ensure that the solid point
of the fuel used is lower than the lowest ambient temperature.
• Lubricate the machine fully according to “Lubricants and Maintenance Schedule” or the lubrication
diagram on the machine.

3-32 Operation
 XE75DA HYDRAULIC EXCAVATOR OPERATOR’S MANUAL

• Start the engine to warm it up to normal temperature before load-on operation.

– When the machine is under idle state, if dirt and ice are frozen on running gears, heat up to thaw the
frozen substances before machine operation attempt.

– Operate the hydraulic units with care until the temperature that normal operation requires is reached.

– Check all machine control units and their functions to ensure normal working.

• Put a spare outer air cleaner, for changing the freezing parts conveniently and limit the air flowing to
the engine parts.

B. Operations in extremely hot conditions
• When it is extremely hot, continuous operation to the machine will cause overheat. When necessary,
monitor engine temperature and stop the machine to allow it to cool down.

– Under high temperature, the dirt in the cooling system will be produced more quickly. Change anti-
freeze yearly to keep corrosion resistant effect.

– When necessary, flush the cooling system periodically to keep its passages clean. Avoid use of high
alkalinity water; otherwise, dirt and rust are produced more easily.

• Check electrolyte level daily. In a high-temperature environment, please use weaker electrolyte. Dilute
the electrolyte with specific gravity of 1.280 into that with specific gravity of 1.200~1.240, and then
charge it fully. Whenever reading of specific gravity reaches 1.160, recharge. If stored for an extended
period of time under high temperature, the battery will discharge automatically at high rate.

Do not store acid batteries near large numbers of tires; the acid gases will do harm to rubber.

• Repair the fuel system according to Part 5 “Engine Fuel System” of this manual. Please check the
moisture content before refueling. High temperature and refrigeration will cause substance concentra-
tion of storage tank.
• Lubricate according to “Lubricants and Maintenance Schedule” or the lubrication labels on this
machine.
• Do not park the machine under sunlight for an extended period of time. Park the machine under a cover-
ing to keep sunlight, dirt and dust out.

tect your eyes.

4. In case of any accident, let the doctor

who’s familiar with this type of wound
cure immediately.

Any fluid injected into skin must be

removed through surgery within several
hours, otherwise the dermal gangrene
will be caused.
• Treatment of accumulatorThe pilot control system is equipped with an accumulator filled with high-
pressure nitrogen, so the pressure of system must be relieved during the maintenance of pilot control
system.
1. Don’t drill on the accumulator, or don’t make it contact the flame, fire or heat source.
2. Don’t weld the accumulator, or don’t attach any article on it.
3. In case of removing, maintaining or treating the accumulator, the filled gas must be discharged. Con-
tact with our company or supplier.
4. In case of treating the accumulator, wear the safety goggles and protective gloves. The high-pressure
hydraulic oil will stab the skin or cause the injury.
• Safety maintaining air-conditioning systemThe splash of refrigerant on skin will cause the frost
injury.
•
1. During the maintenance of air-condition-
ing system, use Freon correctly as per
the instructions for Freon container.

2. Adopt the recovery or recirculation sys-

tem to prevent Freon from discharging
into the atmosphere.

3. Don’t make Freon fluid contact the

skin.

4.3.2 Maintenance

• Check and maintenance of hydraulic device

Note: during the operation, the parts of hydraulic system will become very hot, and cool the ma-
chine before starting the check or maintenance.

1. During the maintenance of hydraulic device, ensure that the machine shall be placed on the flat or
hard ground.
2. Fall the bucket to the ground, and turn the engine off correctly.
3. Maintain the hydraulic device after cooling the machine part, hydraulic oil and lubricating oil fully,
because the residual heat and pressure will exist in the hydraulic device soon after finishing the
operation.

1) Drain the air in the hydraulic oil tank to release its inner pressure.

2) Cool the machine. Check and maintain the high-temperature or high-pressure parts, because they
may cause the sudden fly out or spray of parts or hydraulic oil and the personal injury.

Lubrication, maintenance and repair 4-19

 XE75DA HYDRAULIC EXCAVATOR OPERATOR’S MANUAL

3) In case of removing the plug, don’t make your body and face against them, because any hydraulic
part may still have a certain pressure even if the part has been cooled.

4) Don’t try to maintain or check the traction or rotary motor circuit on the slope, because they can
have high pressures due to their own weights.

4. During the connection to the hydraulic hose and pipe, pay special attention to the seal surfaces to en-
sure no dirt exists on them, and avoid the damages to them. Please remember the following points:

1) Clean the inner face of hose, pipe or oil tank with cleaning fluid, and dry them thoroughly before
connecting them.

2) Use non-destructive or defective O rings, and don’t damage them during the assembling.

3) During the connection of hose, don’t make the high-pressure hose distorted, because the lifetime
of twisted hose will be greatly reduced.

4) Tighten the low-pressure hose clamp cautiously, and ensure they can’t be screwed too tight.

5. In case of filling the hydraulic oil, use the oil of the same brand always, and don’t mix the oils of
different brands. In case of wishing to use the oil listed in “Brands and Names of Recommended

problem shall not be used. If any dis-

turbance is found, resolve it in time.
• Adjustment of bucket joint gap
There is a regulation system of bucket joint gap capable of eliminating the connection sloshing. When
the connection slashing is increased, remove or attach the tab as described below.

a) Park the machine on flat ground, fall the

bucket to ground with its plane down to avoid
rolling the bucket.
b) Run the engine at low idle speed, turn the
bucket clockwise on the ground until left boss
top of bucket contacts the bucket rod.
c) Stop the engine. Pull the safety locking rod to
LOCK (lock).

Note: in the case of removing the tab, there

is no need to remove the bolts (1 shown in the
Figure). The tabs are half round in shape, so it’s
easy to push them out with a screwdriver after
the bolt is loosened.
d) Loosen the bolt slightly with a spanner. Push
all the tabs out of the gap (c) between the
pressure plate and the bucket.
e) Push the bolt to one side of bucket rod, and
eliminate the whole clearance a between bucket
rod and cam. Push the cam onto the bucket rod to
increase the gap (b), and measure the gap (b)
with a feeler gauge, which shall not be adjusted
below 0.5mm.
f) Attach the adjusting shims as much as possible
in the clearance b.

Note: be sure to mount all the remaining

tabs in the gap (c) to avoid damage to the bucket
rod tail end face or bolts.

g) Attach the residual tabs in the clearance c, and tighten the bolt.

Note: the total number of tabs used is 12 (6 pairs).

If the measured value d is below 5mm, replace the cam.
• Removal of traction control lever

• Check and replacement of safety belt

Check the safety belt every day; replace
the safety belt every 3 years.

Always keep the safety belt in good con-

dition, and replace it if necessary to en-
sure its sound performance.

• Check of track sag

4-38 Lubrication, maintenance and repair

 XE75DA HYDRAULIC EXCAVATOR OPERATOR’S MANUAL

Check the track sag every day.

As shown in figure, rotate the upper car

by 90°, and then fall the bucket to lift the
crawler away from the ground, keep the
angle between the movable arm and
Figure4-46
bucket rod within 90° to 110°, place the
arc part of bucket on the ground, place
the cushion block under the frame of
chassis to support the machine, rotate the
crawler back by two circles, rotate it for-
ward by two circles, and measure the
distance A between frame bottom and
track plate back from middle part of
chassis frame.

Requirements of track sag:

XE75DA：A=300～335mm.

Note: check the slag of crawler

after removing the soil on the track
plate.
• Adjust the sag of crawler.
1. Points for attention for adjusting the track sag

1) If the track sag is not within the desired range, loosen or tighten the track as per the steps below.

2) During the adjustment of track sag, fall the bucket to ground, and jack the track on one side. Apply
the same methods to the crawler on the other side. Place the cushion block under the frame every
time to support the machine.

3) After adjusting the track sag on both sides, move the machine forward and backward several
times.

4) Check the sag of track again. If the track sag can’t reach the specified value, continue to adjust it
until it’s satisfactory.

2. Slacken the track:

Lubrication, maintenance and repair 4-39

 XE75DA HYDRAULIC EXCAVATOR OPERATOR’S MANUAL

Notice:

1) Don’t loosen the valve body

rapidly or Excessively, otherwise
the grease in the tensioner will
spray. Loosen the valve body
carefully, and don’t make the
body and face against it.
Figure4-47
2) Don’t loosen the grease
coupler. 1.Valve body 2.Lubricating grease
Important: if the crushed stones
or soils are clipped between the
driving wheel and track, remove
them .

1) In case of loosening the crawler, rotate the valve body slowly anticlockwise with a deep socket
wrench.

2) Rotate the valve body by 1 to 1.5 circles enough to loosen the track.

3) If the grease can’t be smoothly drained, lift the track away from the ground, and rotate the track
slowly.

4) After reaching the proper track sag, tighten the valve body clockwise.

3. Tighten the track

Note: if the crawler is still too tight after tightening the valve body anticlockwise, or it is still
loose after applying the grease into the grease coupler, this is abnormal. At this time, don’t
try to remove the track or track-tension device, because the high-pressure grease of track-ten-
sion device is dangerous. Therefore, overhaul it or contact with your assigned dealer.

If it’s necessary to tighten the track, connect the grease gun to grease coupler, add in the grease until
the track sag reaches the specified value.
• Check of air conditioner

4-40 Lubrication, maintenance and repair

 XE75DA HYDRAULIC EXCAVATOR OPERATOR’S MANUAL

1－Liquid reservoir 2－Connector

1. Check the air conditioner every day.

2. Check the cooling gas at the connections of pipe for leaks (as shown in above figure). If the oil leaks
are found near to the connections of pipes, the air leak may occur to these connections.
3. Check of refrigerant amount: after running the engine at 1500r/min for 1 to 3 minutes, check the
amount of refrigerant through a sight glass on the liquid reservoir.
4. Check of condenser: if the blade of condenser is blocked by dirt or bugs, its cooling effects will be re-
duced. Therefore, always keep them clean.
5. Check of compressor: after using the air conditioner 5 to 10 minutes, touch the pipes on high- and
low-pressure sides. If they are normal, the pipe on high-pressure side shall be hot, while that on low-
pressure side shall be cold.
6. Check the mounting bolt for loosening: ensure the mounting bolt and other mounting or tightening
bolts of compressor are well tightened.
7. Check of belt and adjustment of tension: Check the compressor and fan belt for wears visually. Check
and adjust the belt tension with reference to the figure above. Fan and compressor belt (by pressure):
about 98N, deflection: 7 to 10mm.
• Check of bolt and nut tightening torque
Check the tightening torques of bolt and nut every 250 hours.
After the first 50 hour breaking-in period of machine, check the tightness of bolt and nut, and then
check it once every 250 hours. If loose, tighten the bolt up to the torque shown in Tightening of Bolt. In
case of replacement, replace it with the same or higher-class bolt and nut. For the bolt and nut outside
Tightening of Bolt, refer to “Tightening Torques”.
Important: check or tighten the bolt and nut with a torque wrench.
