OPERATION AND
MAINTENANCE MANUAL
Important Safety Information

Most accidents involving product operation, maintenance and repair are caused by failure to observe
safety rules or precautions. An accident can often be avoided by recognizing potentially hazardous
situations before an accident occurs. A person must be alert to potential hazards. This person should
also have the necessary training, skills and tools to perform these functions properly.
Improper operation, lubrication, maintenance or repair on this product can be dangerous and could result
in injury or death.
Do not operate or perform any lubrication, maintenance or repair on this product, until you have read and
understood the operation, lubrication, maintain and repair information.
Safety precautions and warnings are provided in this manual and on the product. If these hazard
warnings are not heeded, bodily injury or death could occur to you or other persons.
The hazards are identified by the "Safety Alert Symbol" and followed by a "Signal Word" such as
"WARNING" as shown following.

The meaning of this safety alert symbol is as follows:


Attention. Be alert. Your safety is involved.
The message that appears under the warning, explaining the hazard, can be either written or pictorially
presented.
Operations that may cause product damage are identified by NOTICE labels on the product and in this
publication.
LiuGong cannot anticipate every possible circumstance that might involve a potential hazard. The
warnings in this publication and on the product are therefore not all inclusive. If a tool, procedure, work
method or operating technique not specifically recommended by LiuGong is used, you must satisfy
yourself that it is safe for you and others. You should also ensure that the product will not be damaged or
made unsafe by the operation, lubrication, maintenance or require procedures you choose.
The information, specification, and illustrations in this publication are on the basis of information
available at the time when it was written. The specification, torques, pressures, measurements,
adjustments, illustrations, and other items can change at any time. These changes can affect the service
given to the product. Obtain the complete and most current information before starting any job. LiuGong
has the most current information available.

CALIFORNIA PROPOSITION 65

Diesel engine exhaust and some of its constituents are known to the state of California to cause cancer,
birth defects and other reproductive harm.

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 10 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 keep 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.

CLG4140 Cautions about Machine Operation

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 in time.
Always raise all implements as much as possible
while driving. Keep the mold board blade inside
the width of the machine, to ensure the wheels
don't touch the mold board blade when turning.
During continuous operation after rain, always
remember the ambient condition has been
changed, be extra careful.
Be extra careful during operation in snow or
cleaning snow, because a small slope can cause
sideslip. When snow is pushed to one side of the
machine, pay extra attention to the obstacles
buried under snow.

Do not go close to the edge of a cliff, a dyke, or a


hillock to avoid collapse.

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.
Avoid operating the machine across a slope. If it
is necessary, operate the machine directly to up
