• Be sure to fully pull up the ladder before traveling.
• Be sure to thoroughly warm up the machine before
ascending steep slopes. If hydraulic oil has not warmed
up sufficiently, sufficient performance may not be
obtained.
• Before descending a slope, turn the travel mode switch
to the SLOW position on level ground. Do not operate
the travel mode switch while descending a slope. The
machine may slip, possibly causing safety accident.
• When descending a steep slope, avoid quick start or stop
traveling in the FAST mode. Failure to do so may result in
damage to the travel motors. Travel Motor

• Before moving machine, determine which way to move
travel pedals/levers for the direction you want to go.
When the travel motors are in the rear, pushing down
on the front of the travel pedals or pushing the levers
forward moves the machine forward, towards the idlers.
• Select a travel route that is as flat as possible. Steer the
machine as straight as possible, making small gradual
changes in direction.
• When traveling on a level surface, position the front
with boom (1) fully raised, and arm (2) fully retracted, as
illustrated, in order to apply the load as evenly as possible
to all of the lower rollers. M145-05-004
• Before traveling on them, check the strengths of bridges
and road shoulders, and reinforce if necessary.
• Do not make contact with electric wires or bridges.
• When crossing a river, measure the depth of the river

using the bucket, and cross slowly. Do not cross the river
when the depth of the river is deeper than the upper
edge of the upper rollers.
• When traveling on rough terrain, reduce engine speed.
Select slow travel speed. Slower speed will reduce
possible damage to the machine.
• Avoid operations that may damage the track and
undercarriage components.
• During freezing weather, always clean snow and ice from
track shoes, to prevent the machine from slipping. M145-05-027

• Place the bucket teeth on the ground with the bottom of
the bucket at a 45 degree angle to the ground. 100 mm (4”)
• Pull the bucket toward the machine using the arm as the
main digging force.
• When soil sticks to the bucket, remove it by moving the
arm and/or bucket rapidly back and forth.
• When lowering the boom, avoid sudden stops that may
cause shock load damage to the machine.
• When operating the arm, avoid bottoming the cylinder to
prevent cylinder damage.
• When digging at an angle, avoid striking the tracks with M145-05-008
the bucket teeth.
• When digging a deep excavation, avoid striking the boom
or bucket cylinder hoses against the ground.
• When trenching a straight line, position the tracks parallel
to the trench. After digging to the desired depth, move
the machine as required to continue the trench.
f NOTE: When crowding the arm, it is normal for the arm
to pause briefly at the lowest point of its curve, as
shown. This is due to the fact that the force of gravity
pulls the arm down quickly, and it takes a moment
for the hydraulic force in the cylinder to catch up. This
does not indicate machine trouble.

Operating Tips
Do not hit the track with the bucket when digging.
Whenever possible, position your machine on a level surface. WRONG
Do not use the bucket as a hammer or pile driver. Do not
attempt to shift rocks and break walls using swing motion.

OPERATING MACHINE
• Straight Retraction
When the arm cylinder is retracted, the arm top moves
horizontally, as oil escaping from the level cylinder flows to
the bottom end of the boom cylinders, raising the boom.
Prohibited Operation
• Never dig with the bucket retracted too closely to the
undercarriage, as the machine components will be
subjected to excessive force.
If closely retracted digging is unavoidable, keep a distance
of at least 3 m between the rear end of the bucket and the
front end of the undercarriage.
• Never dig with the bucket fully retracted and the bucket
teeth stuck in the ground as the front attachment will be
WRONG
subjected to excessive force.

have been adjusted at the factory. Do
not attempt to disassemble or turn the
adjusting screws, as they are very difficult
to readjust.
Consult your authorized dealer if any
trouble should occur.
• Oil from the main and swing pumps flows through the
control valves to the cylinders and motors. Most return oil
from the control valves flows back to the hydraulic oil tank
via the full-flow filters; a small amount returns via oil coolers
directly. High pressure strainers are provided in the pump
delivery lines between the pumps and control valves.

coolant is once every 2 years, or every 4000 hours, whichever comes first.
Coolant
Use a proper coolant mix of water, antifreeze and
anticorrosive agent DCA4.
1. Water
Use soft water with fewer impurities or tap water as a
coolant (Soft water is easy to lather).
If hard water with many impurities is used, the
anticorrosive agent DCA4 will be neutralized and loose
its effect as an anticorrosive agent.
2. Long-Life Coolant
Long-Life coolant protects the cooling system from
rusting and freezing.
Long-life coolant can be used throughout the year
without changing.
As long as genuine Hitachi Long-Life Coolant is used, the
service interval between changing the coolant is once
every 2 years, or every 4000 hours, whichever comes
first.

Check DCA4 Concentration in Coolant
--- every 500 hours
Anticorrosive Agent DCA4
Be sure to use the anticorrosive agent DCA4 in your
Cummins Cooling System. DCA4 protects the cooling
system from rusting, makes an anticorrosive film on the
cylinder liner to prevent the liner from corroding, and
reduces sediments in the engine coolant passages. Maintain
the acceptable concentration range of 1.2 to 3 units per 3.78
L (1 US gal) of coolant.
DCA4 concentration is adjusted by replacing the DCA4-
containing filter and/or adding DCA4 liquid.
• Coolant Filter
The following solid DCA4 containing coolant filter is
available.
• DCA4 Liquid
The following DCA4 liquid units are available for refill.
7-84
MAINTENANCE
• Precautions for using DCA4
• Exposure tolerances
Slight skin exposure to DCA4 will cause no serious
problems. However, longer or repeated exposure
times, inhaling, swallowing or splashing DCA4 in
your eyes will cause serious problems. Take the
emergency measures shown below.
• Disposal
Be careful not to spill DCA4 on machine or ground.
If DCA4 is spilt, wipe it up and clean contaminated
surface thoroughly.
Use a container to collect spilt DCA4 and consign it
to professional disposers. Disposal of surplus DCA4
when changing coolant should also be assigned to
professional disposers.
