Preface
Maintenance Intervals
Use the service hour meter to determine

servicing intervals. Calendar intervals shown
(daily, weekly, monthly, etc) can be used instead
of service hour meter intervals if they provide
more convenient servicing schedules and
approximate the indicated service hour meter
reading. Recommended service should always
be performed at the interval that occurs first.
Under extremely severe, dusty or wet operating
conditions, more frequent lubrication than is
specified in the "Maintenance Intervals" may be
necessary.
Perform service on items at multiples of the
original requirement. For example, at every 500
service hours, also service those items listed
under every 250 service hours, 50 service hours
and every 8 service hours or daily.
All the information, figures, tables and
specifications are the latest product information
obtainable at the time of publication. Guangxi
LiuGong Company will reserve the right to make
change without notice.
Certified Engine Maintenance
Correct maintenance and repair methods are

essential to keeping the engine and machine
systems operating correctly. As the owner, you
are responsible for performance of required
maintenance listed in the Maintenance Manual
for this machine. It is prohibited for person
engaged in the business of repairing, servicing,
selling, leasing or trading engines or machines to
remove, alter or render inoperative any
emissions related device or element of design
installed on or in an engine or machine that is in
compliance with the regulations. Certain
elements of the machine such as exhaust
system, fuel system, electrical system, air intake
system and cooling system may be emission
related and should not be altered unless
approved by LiuGong.

Safety Information
Observe machine movements and listen

carefully for unusual noises. If there is any fault
or abnormality, you should stop the engine
immediately. Locate the source of the problem
and fix before further operation.
Do not start the engine until seated in operator s

seat and the seat belt is firmly fastened.
Never run the engine in a closed or poorly

ventilated environment. If working inside a
building, open the doors and windows to ensure
enough ventilation and try to prevent exhaust

Safety Information
Machine Operation
Before operating the machine on roads, check

whether the machine meets the requirements of
the local laws and regulations for road operation.
Make sure that you get the road operating
permission from relevant road administration
offices. Observe the local traffic regulations when
driving the machine on roads.
Before driving the machine, you should carefully
observe the surroundings, and find out the
relations between the direction that you want to If driving or operating the machine with a bad

Note any needed repairs during machine
operation such as an abnormal noise, vibration,
smell, wrong reading of gauges, gas or oil
leakage, etc., stop what you are doing and report
any needed repairs.
Dust, heavy rain, and heavy fog will blur your
vision. You should keep windows, mirrors and
lights clean and in good condition. When the
visibility decreases, you should decrease speed
and apply the proper lights.
63
Safety Information
Avoid any conditions that can lead to the

machine tipping. The machine can tip when you
work on hills, on banks and on slopes. Also, the
machine can tip when the machine goes across
ditches, hillocks or other unexpected
obstructions.
If the machine begins to slip sideways on a

slope, immediately remove the load and turn the
machine downhill.
To prevent the machine from tipping over or
damaging the attachment due to overloading,
never exceed the machines rated capacity. See
Applications and Specifications for details.
Avoid operating the machine across a slope. If

possible, run the machine in reverse when going
down the slope with a load, and run forward
when going up the slope.
64
Safety Information
When digging down deeply, you should prevent

the bottom of the boom and the hose of the
bucket cylinder from bumping against the
ground. The bucket is used for digging only, and
should not be used for crushing rock or chiseling
holes in rock. Before digging, you should be
aware of the locations of cables, gas pipes and
water pipes, and mark out the underground
utilities.
The machine can only be used within its

capability. Any operation beyond its capability will
bring damage to the machine. Refer to
Specification section for the capabilities.
Always keep the Rollover Protective Structure
(ROPS) installed during machine operation.
Never hoist heavy articles by directly hanging
slings on the bucket teeth.

regularly due to the important of these parts in the security and fire prevention.
2. The materials of these parts will degenerate along with the passage of time, or more easy to wear, corrosion.
Moreover, it is very difficult to determine the state of these parts simply according to the regular maintenance.
Therefore, no matter what usage state they are, it is necessary to change these parts regularly in order to ensure their
performance.
3. If the parts not work properly even less than the time for replacement, they should be repaired or replaced
immediately.

Preparing Machine for Travel

When travelling on the road or on site there are
usually local rules and safety regulations for the
machine traveling position. The Road Travelling
Position and Site Travelling Position described
on the following pages are recommendations
that should help you meet the requirements of
these regulations; Please make sure that before
travelling on the road or on site, you and your
machine comply with all the relevant local laws.
Choosing the correct travelling position will
Whether driving on the road or on site, there are depend on the type of machine you are operating
two possible travelling positions: and the type of attachment you have fitted to the
backhoe.
1. The 'tucked-in' position, i.e. the backhoe is
placed across the back of the machine, as
shown below. Backhoe Attachments
We recommend that all backhoe attachments be

removed before travelling on the road. However,
if the machine is driven on the road with
attachments fitted, then the conditions listed
under the headings Tucked-In Travel Position
and Central Protruding Travel Position should be
maintained.
Tucked-In Travel Position
