• Never attempt to work on the machine without securing

the machine first.
• Always lower the attachment to the ground before you

work on the machine.
• If you must work on a lifted machine or attachment,
securely support the machine or attachment with stays
or blocks strong enough to support the machine
and/or attachment weight.
SA-527
STAY CLEAR OF MOVING PARTS
• Contact with moving parts can cause serious injury or

death due to amputation or entanglement.
• To prevent accidents, care should be taken to ensure

that hands, feet, clothing, jewelry and hair do not
become entangled when working around rotating
parts.
SA-026
SA-20
SAFETY
PREVENT PARTS FROM FLYING
• Grease in the track adjuster is under high pressure.

Failure to follow the precautions below may result in
serious injury, blindness, or death.
• Do not attempt to remove GREASE FITTINGS or

VALVE ASSEMBLIES.
• As pieces of parts may fly off, be sure to keep body
and face away from the valve.
• Travel reduction gears are under pressure.

SA-344
• As pieces of parts may fly off, be sure to keep body

and face away from AIR RELEASE PLUG to avoid
injury.
• GEAR OIL is hot. Wait for gear oil to cool, then
gradually loosen the air release plug to release
pressure.

and blades can fall and cause serious injury or death.
• Securely store attachments and implements to prevent

falling accidents.
• Keep children and bystanders away from storage
areas.
SA-034
SA-21
SAFETY
PREVENT BURNS
Hot spraying fluids:

• After operation, engine coolant is hot and under pressure.
Hot water or steam is contained in the engine, radiator
and heater lines.
Skin contact with escaping hot water or steam can cause
severe burns.
• To prevent possible injury from hot spraying water,

stop the engine. Begine to work after the engine and
radiator are sufficiently cooled
• DO NOT remove the radiator cap until the engine is
cool. When opening, turn the cap slowly to the stop. SA-039
Allow all pressure to be release before removing the

cap.
• The hydraulic oil tank is pressurized. Again, be sure to
release all pressure by slowly removing the cap.
Hot fluids and surfaces:

• Engine oil, gear oil and hydraulic oil also becomes hot
during operation.
The engine, hoses, lines and other parts become hot as
well.
• Wait for the oil and components to cool before starting

any maintenance or inspection work.
SA-225
SA-22
SAFETY
REPLACE RUBBER HOSES PERIODICALLY
• Rubber hoses that contain flammable fluids such as

hydraulic oil or fuel under pressure may break due to
aging, fatigue, and abrasion. It is very difficult to gauge
the extent of deterioration due to aging, fatigue, and
abrasion of rubber hoses by visual inspection alone.
• Periodically replace the rubber hoses. (Refer to the

“Periodical Replacement Parts” section in the
operator’s manual.)
• Failure to periodically replace rubber hoses may cause a

SA-019
fire, fluid injection into skin, or the front attachment to fall
on a person nearby, which may result in severe burns,
gangrene, or otherwise serious injury or death.
AVOID HIGH-PRESSURE FLUIDS
• Fluids such as diesel fuel or hydraulic oil under pressure

can penetrate the skin or eyes causing serious injury,
blindness or death.
• Avoid this hazard by relieving pressure before

disconnecting hydraulic or other lines. Make sure that
all connectors are completely connected before
applying pressure.
• Search for leaks with a piece of cardboard; take care
SA-031
to protect hands and body from high-pressure fluids.

Wear a face shield or goggles for eye protection.
• If an accident occurs, see a doctor familiar with this
type of injury immediately. Any fluid injected into the
skin must be surgically removed within a few hours or
gangrene may result.
SA-292
SA-044
SA-23
SAFETY
PREVENT FIRES
Check for Oil Leaks:

• Fuel, hydraulic oil and lubricant leaks can lead to fires,
possibly resulting in personal injury or death.
• Check for missing or loose clamps, kinked hoses,

lines or hoses that rub against each other, damage to
the oil-cooler, and loose oil-cooler flange bolts, for oil
leaks.
• Tighten, repair or replace any missing, loose or
damaged clamps, lines, hoses, oil-cooler and
oil-cooler flange bolts. SA-019
• Do not bend or strike high-pressure lines.

• Never install bent or damaged lines, pipes or hoses.
Check for Shorts:

• Short circuits can cause fires.
• Clean and tighten all electrical connections.

• Check before each shift or after eight (8) to ten (10)
hours operation for loose, kinked, hardened or frayed
electrical cables and wires.
• Check before each shift or after eight (8) to ten (10)
hours operation for missing or damaged terminal caps.
• DO NOT OPERATE MACHINE if cable or wires are
loose, kinked, etc.
SA-24
SAFETY
Precautions for Handling Flammables
• Spilled fuel and oil, and trash, grease, debris,
accumulated coal dust, and other flammables may
cause fires.
• Prevent fires by inspecting and cleaning the machine

daily, and by removing spilled or accumulated
flammables immediately.
• Don’t store flammable fluid near open flames.
• Don’t burn or crush a pressurerized container.
• Don’t store oily cloths. They are liable to catch fire.
• Don’t wind easy-to-absorb-oil asbestos or glass wool
around high-temperature parts such as a muffler or
exhaust pipe.
Check Heat Shield Covers around Engine

Compartment
• If the engine compartment heat shield cover becomes
broken or lost, fire may break out.
• If the engine compartment heat shield cover becomes

broken or lost, repair or replace it before operating the
machine.
Check Key Switch:

• If fire breaks out, failure to stop the engine will escalate
the fire, hampering fire fighting.
• Always check key switch function before operating the

machine every day:
1) Start the engine and run it at slow idle.
2) Turn the key switch to the OFF position to confirm
that the engine hasstopped.
If any abnormalities are found, be sure to repair
them before operating the machine.
SA-25
SAFETY
EVACUATING IN CASE OF FIRE
• If fire breaks out during machine operation, evacuate the

machine in the following way:
• Stop the engine by turning the key switch to the OFF

position.
• Use a fire extinguisher if there is time.
• Exit the machine using handrails and/or steps.
• In an emergency, if the cab door or front window can
not be opened, break the front or rear window panes
with the emergency evacuation hammer to escape
SA-393
from the cab.
Refer to the explanation pages on the “Emergency
Evacuation Method” in the operator’s manual.
SS-1510
BEWARE OF EXHAUST FUMES
• Prevent asphyxiation. Engine exhaust fumes can cause

sickness or death.
• If you must operate the machine in a building, be sure

there is adequate ventilation. Either use an exhaust
pipe extension to remove the exhaust fumes or open
doors and windows to bring enough outside air into the
area.
SA-016
SA-26
SAFETY
PRECAUTIONS FOR WELDING AND GRIND-
ING
• Welding may generate gas and/or small fires.
• Be sure to perform welding in a well ventilated and

prepared area. Store flammable objects in a safe
place before starting welding.
• Only qualified personnel should perform welding.
Never allow an unqualified person to perform welding.
• Grinding on the machine may create a fire hazard. Store
flammable objects in a safe place before starting grind-
ing.
• After finishing welding and grinding, recheck that there SA-818
are no abnormalities such as the area surrounding the

welded area still smoldering.
AVOID HEATING NEAR PRESSURIZED FLUID

LINES
• Flammable spray can be generated by heating near

pressurized fluid lines, resulting in severe burns to
yourself and bystanders.
• Do not heat by welding, soldering, or using a torch

near pressurized fluid lines or other flammable
materials.
• Pressurized lines can be accidentally cut when heat
goes beyond the immediate flame area. Install
temporary fire resistant guards to protect hoses or
other materials before engaging in welding, soldering, SA-030
etc.
AVOID APPLYING HEAT TO LINES

CONTAINING FLAMMABLE FLUIDS
• Do not weld or flame cut pipes or tubes that contain

flammable fluids.
• Remove flammable fluids thoroughly with
nonflammable solvent before welding or flame cutting
pipes or tubes that contained flammable fluids.
SA-27
SAFETY
REMOVE PAINT BEFORE WELDING OR
HEATING
• Hazardous fumes can be generated when paint is

heated by welding, soldering, or using a torch. If inhaled,
these fumes may cause sickness.
• Remove paint before welding or heating.

• Avoid potentially toxic fumes and dust.
• Do all such work outside or in a well-ventilated area.
Dispose of paint and solvent properly.
• Allow fumes to disperse at least 15 minutes after
SA-029
welding or heating.
• Use attention to the following points when removing
paint.
1. If you sand or grind paint, avoid breathing the dust
which is created.
Wear an approved respirator.
2. If you use solvent or paint stripper, remove stripper
with soap and water before welding.
3. Remove solvent or paint stripper containers and
other flammable material from area.
PREVENT BATTERY EXPLOSIONS
• Battery gas can explode.

• Keep sparks, lighted matches, and flame away from
the top of battery.
• Never check battery charge by placing a metal object
across the posts. Use a voltmeter or hydrometer.
• Do not charge a frozen battery or start engine with
frozen battery.
There is fear of explosion. If battery electrolyte is fro-
zen, wait until it is liquefied completely in an atmos-
pheric temperature room.
• Do not continue to use or charge the battery when the SA-032
electrolyte level is lower than specified. Explosion of

the battery may result.
• When a terminal become loose, it may induce sparks.
Securely tighten all terminals.
• Battery electrolyte is poisonous. If the battery should
explode battery electrolyte may be splashed into eyes,
possibly resulting in blindness. If electrolyte is splashed
into eyes, flush your eyes continuosly with water for
about 15 minutes. Seek medical attention immediately.
• Be sure to wear eye protection when checking

electrolyte specific gravity.
SA-28
SAFETY
PRECAUTIONS FOR HANDLING REFRIG-
ERANT
• If refrigerant is splashed into eyes or spilled onto skin,

blindness or a cold contact burn may result.
• Refer to the precautions described on the refrigerant

container for handling refrigerant.
• Use a recovery and recycling system to avoid venting
refrigerant into the atmosphere.
• Never allow the skin to directly come in contact with
refrigerant.
SA-405
HANDLE CHEMICAL PRODUCTS SAFELY
• Direct exposure to hazardous chemicals can cause

serious injury. Potentially hazardous chemicals used with
your machine include such items as lubricants,
electrolyte, coolants, paints, and adhesives.
• A Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS) provides

specific details on chemical products: physical and
health hazards, safety procedures, and emergency
response techniques.
• Check the MSDS before you start any job using a
hazardous chemical. Then follow the correct
procedures and use recommended equipment. SA-309
• See your nearest Hitachi dealer for MSDS.
SA-29
SAFETY
DISPOSE OF WASTE PROPERLY
• Improperly disposing of waste can threaten the

environment and ecology. Potentially harmful waste
used with HITACHI equipment includes such items as oil,
fuel, coolant, brake fluid, filters, and batteries.
• When draining fluid, use a leakproof container with a

capacity larger than the drained fluid volume to
receive it.
• Do not pour waste onto the ground, down a drain, or
into any water source.
• Inquire on the proper way to dispose of harmful waste SA-226
such as oil, fuel, coolant, brake fluid, filters, and
batteries from your local environmental or recycling
center.

SYSTEM / Control System
OUTLINE
There are three controllers on this machine:
• Monitor controller
• Engine controller
• Travel alarm controller (optional)
Signals from the engine control dial, various sensors,

and switches come to respective controllers for proc-
essing with logic circuits.
Each controller drives the governor actuator, solenoid
valve and others; and controls the engine and valve.
T2-1-1
• Monitor controller:
The monitor controller activates the hour meter, fuel
gauge, coolant temperature gauge, etc. by signals
from sensors and switches; and turns ON the indi-
cators at the monitor.
• Engine controller:
The engine controller, when receiving signals from
the engine control dial, governor actuator, auto-idle
pressure sensor and auto-idle switch, drives the
governor actuator, and controls engine speed.
• Travel alarm controller (optional):

The travel alarm controller, when receiving signals
from the travel pressure sensor, sounds buzzer.
Alarming can be cancelled by turning ON the buzzer
deactivation switch.

creases absorption torque of the main
pump, and controls so that the total load to
the main pump and compressor does not to
exceed the engine horsepower.
(Refer to COMPONENT OPERATION
/Pump Device group.)
Operation:
1. When turning ON the air conditioner switch, #30 0 Pressure (P)
terminal is grounded in the air conditioner con-
troller.
2. When the displacement change relay is excited,
current flows from #7 fuse to the torque control
solenoid valve, thus switching the torque control
solenoid valve.
3. As a result, pressure oil from the pilot pump
passes through the control piston in the main
pump.
4. The main pump swash plate is subjected to a
force from the control piston to reduce its dis-
placement angle.
5. As a result, the absorption torque of the main
pump decreases, keeping it below the engine
horsepower.

SYSTEM / Hydraulic System
OUTLINE
The hydraulic system consists of the main circuit and
the pilot circuit along with their related items.
• Pilot Circuit
Supplies the pressure oil which is delivered from
the pilot pump to the machine operation control
circuit, the pump control circuit, the travel mode
control circuit, and the swing parking brake re-
lease circuit.
• Main Circuit
Controls the pressure oil which is delivered from
the main pump to the control valve which in turn
drive the cylinders and the hydraulic motors.
T2-2-1
PILOT CIRCUIT
The pressure oil which is delivered from the pilot pump
is supplied to each circuit as is described below.
• Machine Operation Control Circuit

• Pump Control Circuit (Flow Rate Control Circuit)

Controls the main pump swash angle. This circuit
consists of the main pump, the revolution sensing
valve, and the control valve differential reducing
valve. Oil pressure (PGR) from the revolution
sensing valve and oil pressure (PLS) from the
control valve differential reducing valve are sup-
plied to both spool ends of the main pump PS
valve respectively. The PS valve controls the
main pump swash angle in response to the pres-
sure difference between PGR and PLS pressures
to regulate the main pump flow rate. (Refer to
COMPONENT OPERATION / Pump Device
group.)
• Travel Mode Control Circuit

Controls the travel mode. This circuit consists of
the travel speed selector switch, the travel speed
changeover solenoid valve, and the travel speed
selector valve. In response to travel speed selec-
tor switch position (Fast↔Slow), the travel speed
changeover solenoid valve is shifted so that the
travel speed control oil pressure is supplied to the
travel motor. (Refer to COMPONENT OPERA-

Machine Operation Control Circuit
Controls the control valve operation. The major com-

ponents in this circuit are the pilot valves. In response
to the control lever stroke, the pilot valve regulates the
pressure oil supplied to the spool end in the control
valve according to the control valve operation.
Also, during boom lowering operation, pressure oil
from the pilot valve acts on the boom anti-drift valve
and the end face of the spool in the control valve.
(Refer to COMPONENT OPERATION / Control Valve
group.)
NOTE: The boom raise operation is explained here

as an example.
1. When the pilot control shut-off lever is lowered,

the pilot shut-off switch, located below the pilot
control shut-off lever, turns ON, thus switching the
pilot shut-off solenoid valve.
2. When the control lever is moved in the boom
raise position, the pressure oil from the pilot
pump is routed to the right pilot valve via the
2-unit solenoid valve.
3. Then, after being reduced at the pilot valve to the
pressure corresponding to the control lever stroke,
the pressure oil is supplied to the boom spool end
so that the spool is moved in response to the con-
trol lever stroke.
4. The pressure oil from main pump (P1) is routed
to the boom anti-drift valve via the boom spool.
(Refer to COMPONENT OPERATION / Control
Valve group.)
5. After passing through the anti-drift valve, the
pressure oil is routed to the boom cylinder bottom,
extending the boom cylinder so that the boom is
raised.

switch position (Fast↔Slow), the travel speed
changeover solenoid valve is shifted so that the travel
speed control oil pressure is supplied to the travel
motor. (Refer to COMPONENT OPERATION / Travel
Device group.)
Swing Parking Brake Release Circuit
Releases the swing parking brake. This circuit con-

sists of the pilot shut-off switch, and the pilot shut-off
solenoid valve. In response to the pilot control shut-off
lever position raise/lower (pilot shut-off switch position
(ON↔OFF)), the pilot shut-off solenoid valve is shifted
so that the swing parking release oil pressure is sup-
plied to the swing motor. (Refer to COMPONENT

MAIN CIRCUIT
Neutral Circuit (When the control lever is in neu-
tral)
1. Main pump (P1) draws hydraulic oil from the hy-

draulic oil tank and delivers it to the control valve.
2. When the control lever is in neutral, the delivered
oil is blocked by the control valve spool. Accord-
ingly, oil pressure in the circuit up to the control
valve increases.
3. When the oil pressure increases more than the
set pressure of the unload valve, the unload valve
is unseated. (Refer to COMPONENT OPERA-
TION / Control Valve group.)
NOTE: When the control lever is in neutral, the
unload valve set pressure is kept at low
pressure.
4. The delivered oil from the main pump is returned

to the hydraulic oil tank via the unload valve, back
pressure valve and the oil cooler.
5. The back pressure valve, provided in the return
line of the main circuit (between control valve and
oil cooler), maintains the pressure constant at 0.3
MPa in the main circuit.
6. As a result, the absorption ability of the actuator
can be improved in the case of cavitation.
7. When the oil temperature is low (high viscosity),
the oil flow resistance to pass through the oil
cooler increases. Therefore, the bypass check
valve is opened so that the hydraulic oil is re-
turned directly to the hydraulic oil tank without
flowing through the oil cooler, allowing the oil
temperature to quickly increase.

employed. Only the boom raise operation
is explained here.
1. The pressure oil from main pump (P1) is routed

to the swing, travel (left), blade, travel (right),
boom swing, boom, arm, bucket and auxiliary
spools in the control valve.
2. When the boom spool is moved, the pressure oil
from main pump (P1) is routed to the boom
anti-drift valve via the boom spool. (Refer to
COMPONENT OPERATION / Control Valve
group.)
3. After passing through the boom anti-drift valve,
the pressure oil is routed to the boom cylinder
bottom, causing the boom to raise.

ated.
Pump Operation
1. When controlling pump delivery flow rate, the dif-
ferential reducing valve handles a pressure dif-
ference, which is caused between pump delivery
pressure and highest load pressure in either
boom or swing circuit controlled by lever, as the
PLS pressure.
NOTE: The PLS pressure, accordingly, varies de-
pending on the load pressure change in the
control valve.
2. The PLS pressure delivered from the differential
reducing valve is routed to the main pump and
the pressure compensators to control their opera-
tion. (Refer to COMPONENT OPERATION /
Control Valve group.)
3. The main pump flow rate is controlled so that the
PLS pressure (the differential pressure in the cir-
cuit between before and after the control valve
spool) supplied from the differential reducing
valve and signal pressure (PGR) delivered from
the revolution sensing valve become balance.
(Refer to COMPONENT OPERATION / Pump
Device group.)
NOTE: Signal pressure (PGR) is used to control
the actuator speeds.
4. As mentioned above, the differential reducing
valve converts the differential pressure in the cir-
cuit between before and after the control valve
spool into the PLS pressure and supplies it to
control the main pump so that the main pump de-
livers oil flow meeting the volume the control
valve requires (equivalent to the load pressure in
the control valve).

eration is performed. • As differential pressure (PLS) between before
spool pressure (PIN) and after spool pressure
(PL) in the swing circuit is large, the pressure
compensator is pushed by before spool pressure

move to the left. Thereby, the pressure compen-
sator closes the opening port area, restricting the
main hydraulic oil flow to the swing spool via the
pressure compensator.
• As differential pressure (PLS) between before
spool pressure (PIN) and after spool pressure
(PL) in the boom circuit is small, the pressure

lowing the main hydraulic oil to flow more to the

MAIN PUMP P1
Supplies pressure oil to the main circuit.
The cylinder block is splined to the shaft. The plungers

are inserted in the cylinder block. When the engine
rotates, the shaft is driven so that the cylinder block is
rotated together with plungers. The plunger slides
along the shoe plate while oscillating in the cylinder
block due to tilt of the swash plate, drawing and deliv-
ering oil.

POWER CONTROL
Purpose:
Controls the oil flow rate from main pump P1 so that
the total power to drive main pump P1 and pilot
pump P2 doesn’t exceed the engine power.
Operation:
1. When the main pump P1 delivery oil pressure in-
creases more than the load pressure, the in-
creased pressure acts on the plunger.
2. The pressure force on the plunger pushes the
swash plate around the oscillation pin until the
pressure force increases to balance with the
spring force.
3. Then, main pump (P1) decreases the delivery oil
flow rate.
4. Accordingly, depending on the own delivery oil
pressure, the delivery oil flow rate from main
pump (P1) is controlled so that the total power to
drive main pump P1 and pilot pump P2 is main-
tained lower than the engine power.

5. When the actuator load increases, more oil flow is
required to drive the actuator so that the PS valve
increases the pump delivery flow rate. When the
actual load decreases, the pump delivery flow
rate is reduced.

6. If the air conditioner is switched ON, the PC
pressure is sent to the pump from the torque

7. As the PC pressure pushes plunger (12), swash

and lowers the pump absorption torque.

vented in the heavy load condition with the air

COMPONENT OPERATION / Revolution Sensing Valve
OUTLINE
The revolution sensing valve converts change in the
pilot pump delivery flow rate to signal pressure (PGR)
to be used for controlling the pump flow rate. (The pilot
pump is a fixed displacement pump so that the delivery
flow rate changes directly in proportion to the engine
speed.)
The revolution sensing valve is located in the pilot cir-

cuit between the pilot pump and the solenoid valve. In
response to change in the engine speed, the pressure
PGR is routed to the main pump swash angle control
system from port PGR to regulate the pump tilt angle.
The revolution sensing valve consists of the variable
metering valve and the differential reducing valve.

COMPONENT OPERATION / Swing Device
OUTLINE
The swing device consists of the valve unit swing mo-
tor and swing reduction gear.
The valve unit prevents cavitation and overload in the
swing circuit.
The swing motor is a swash-plate-type axial plunger
motor incorporating a parking brake. The swing motor,
driven by pressure oil from the pump, transmits the
rotation force to the swing reduction gear. The swing
reduction gear converts the swing motor rotation power
to a slow but large torque which rotates the upper-
structure.

SWING MOTOR
The inner rotor is splined to the shaft, and the plunger
is inserted in the rotor.
When the pump supplies pressure oil to the swing
motor, plungers are pushed down with pressure oil
while sliding along the swash plate, developing turning
force. As the shaft is splined to the rotor and sun gear
in the swing reduction gear, the rotor torque is trans-
mitted to the swing reduction gear unit.

VALVE UNIT
The valve unit consists of the make-up valves and

relief valves.
The make-up valve prevents the occurrence of cavita-
tion in the circuit. The relief valve also protects the
circuit from surge pressure and overloading.
Make-Up Valve
When stopping swing operation, the swing spool is in
neutral by returning the swing lever and the flow rate
to swing motor stops flowing.
But the swing motor rotates by inertia, so cavitation
occurs in the circuit.
To prevent cavitation, when the oil pressure in the
circuit is lower than the pressure at port M (hydraulic
oil tank pressure), the poppet opens to draw hydrau-
lic oil into the circuit so that the pump oil flow rate is
replenished.

Relief Valve
The relief valve functions to reduce shocks devel-
oped when starting or stopping swing movement
(shockless) and to protect the circuit from overload-
ing (relief).
• Shockless Operation
When the pressure in the circuit increases, the
pressure oil enters in the piston chamber via the ori-
fice of poppet and housing, to move the piston to the
left. Piston
The pressure in the spring chamber is kept low dur- Poppet Orifice Chamber Spring
ing the movement of piston. Therefore, the pressure
at port HP opposes the spring set force only, and the
poppet opens to relieve the hydraulic oil under low LP
pressure whenever the pressure at port HP is low.
Therefore, the pressure stops temporally increasing HP

and shocks are reduced when starting or stopping
the swing operation. When the piston moves to the
stroke end, the pressure in the spring chamber be-
comes equal to the pressure at port HP. As a result, S1 S2 Housing Spring

the relief set force becomes to the normal pressure, Chamber
so the poppet closes.
• Relief Operation
When the pressure in the circuit increases, the force
which acting on poppet (Pressurized Area
(S1-S2)×Pressure at Port HP) exceeds the spring
force, so the poppet opens to allow the hydraulic oil
to be relieved.

• Quick Return Operation of Piston

This operation is to return the piston to the original LP
position. The shockless operation is performed as
the piston moves from right to left. Therefore, when

HYDRAULIC CIRCUIT
Main pump P1 supplies pressure oil to the control
valve. When the spools in the control valve are in neu-
tral, the pressure oil from main pump P1 flows back to
the hydraulic oil tank via the unload valve. When the
spools in the control valve are operated, the pressure
oil from main pump P1 flows to the cylinders and/or the
motors after passing through the pressure compen-
sator and the operated spools.
In each section of the control valve, a pressure com-

pensator is provided. While the spools are being op-
erated, by the function of this pressure compensator,
flow corresponding to the lever input is distributed to
the respective actuators regardless of load during a
combined operation.
Beside the pressure compensators, boom anti-drift

valve, unload valve, differential reducing valve, and
variable relief valve are provided in the control valve.
NOTE: Only the pressure compensator for the

swing motor receives PLS pressure coming
through the orifice. This is for moderating
swing bounce at the moment of operation

swing and others to the swing operation
alone.

OVERLOAD RELIEF VALVE
The overload relief valve is provided in the secondary In Neutral

is opened to port P, allowing pressure oil in port P
to flow into the output port.
2. Oil pressure in the output port acts on the bottom

5. As spool (6) is moved upward, hole (7) is closed
so that pressure oil from port P stops flowing into
the output port, stopping pressure oil in the output
port to increase.
6. As spool (6) is moved downward, balance spring
(4) is compressed, increasing the spring force.
Therefore, oil pressure in the output port be-
comes equal to the oil pressure acting on the

tion with the spring force.

When the control lever is moved further, hole (9) of Pressure
spool (6) reaches port P. The pressure oil in port P (Pilot Pressure)
flows into the output port via the passage in spool (6), D
so the pressure at output port increases.
The pressure at output port acts on the bottom of C
spool (6), to push spool (6) upwards.
If the acting force on spool (6) is smaller than the A B

will not be pressed. As a result, spool (6) will not be
pushed up, and the pressure at output port increases Output Diagram
continuously.
If the pressure at output port increases further, the
force to push up spool (6) increases. When this force
becomes larger than the spring force of balance
spring (4), spool (6) pushes balance spring (4) and
moves upwards.
When spool (6) moves upwards, hole (7) closes, so
the pressure oil does not flow into the output port
from port P. Thereby, the pressure at output port
stops raising.
Accordingly, the amount the balance spring (4) is
compressed is equal to the amount spool (6) is
pressed down, so the balanced pressure between
the spring force and the force acting on spool (6)
becomes the pressure at output port.

When the control pedal is in neutral, spool (7) blocks

When the control pedal is moved slightly, cam (1)

connected to port T and the pressure oil does not
flow into the output port.

When the control pedal is moved further, the hole on sure
spool (7) is connected to notch. The pressure oil in
port P flows into the output port via the hole in spool C
(7) from notch, so the pressure at output port in-
creases.
A B
The pressure at output port acts on the bottom of Lever Stroke
spool (7), to push spool (7) upwards. Output Diagram T567-03-04-002
If the acting force on spool (7) is smaller than the
spring force of balance spring (5), balance spring (5)
will not be pressed. As a result, as port P is con-
nected to the output port, the pressure at output port
increases continuously.
If the pressure at output port increases further, the
force to push up spool (7) increases. When this force
becomes larger than the spring force of balance
spring (5), spool (7) pushes balance spring (5), and
moves upwards.
When spool (7) moves upwards, notch (B) closes, so
the pressure oil does not flow into the output port
from port P. Thereby, the pressure at port P stops
raising.
Accordingly, the amount balance spring (5) is com-
pressed is equal to the amount spool (7) is pressed
down, so the balanced pressure between the spring
force and the force acting on spool (7) becomes the
pressure at output port.

The travel pilot valve has the damper enabling Travel Lever
damping of the speed change shock by the lever.
The damper is composed of the support, gears 1 Support
and 2, and others. Gear 1 is connected with the
support. Bracket
The support is secure to the bracket with the
spring pin. And the travel lever and the travel Pin
pedal are secure to the bracket.
At this time, support sway transversely around the Gear 2

Operation
1. If the travel lever is released from the hand during
traveling, return force of the return spring returns
the travel lever to the neutral position.
2. At this time, gears 1 and 2 inside the damper re-
ceive opposing force due to friction.
3. Therefore, the travel lever gradually returns to the
neutral position, thus moderating the extent of
sudden stop at the time of abrupt release of the T1M7-03-04-002

Motor Swash Angle (Travel Mode) Control
The swash plate angle is changed by moving the
control piston to control the motor rotation speed.
When the swash plate is in the maximum angle posi-
tion, the motor runs at slow speed and in the mini-
mum angle position at fast speed. The maximum
swash plate angle (slow) is automatically selected if
travel load increases more than the specified value
when the motor is running at the minimum swash
angle (fast).
• Maximum Swash Angle (Slow Motor Speed)
1. At slow speed mode, pilot pressure from travel

mode solenoid valve does to come to pilot port Ps.
Thus, spool moves to the left due to motor load
pressure Pin acting in chamber A plus spring
force.
2. As a result, ports M1 and M2 of travel speed se-
lector valve on its high-pressure side and
low-pressure side are blocked by spool 1.
NOTE: When motor is in action, pressure oils from
both high and low pressure sides always
act to travel speed selector valve.
3. Therefore, pressure oil does not flow to control

piston.
4. Consequently, the swash plate angle increases so
that the plunger stroke is extended, increasing the
motor displacement. Then, the motor runs at slow
speed.

• Minimum Swash Angle (Fast Motor Speed)
1. When pressing fast travel speed mode switch,

pressure oil flows from travel mode solenoid valve
into pilot port Ps of travel speed selection valve.
2. Then, spool in travel speed selector valve moves
to the right.
3. As a result, pressure oils from ports M1 and M2
on high and low pressure sides come to control
piston through the rear side of spool.
4. Control piston presses swash plate, causing up-
per surface of swash plate to contact housing.
5. Consequently, the swash plate angle decreases
so that the plunger stroke is retracted, decreasing
the motor displacement. Then, the motor runs at
fast speed.

• Auto Swash Angle Control (Fast → Slow)
At fast speed position (at small swash plate angle),

switching to slow speed position (at large swash plate
angle) is made automatically due to motor load.
1. When traveling at fast speed, the motor load

pressure Pin acts in the oil chamber composed of
the spool and piston, and pushes the spool left. If
the motor load pressure increases, this force be-
comes larger.
2. When the force (the sum of force due to negative
pressure pin in motor × pressurized area of piston
and spring force), which moves spool to the left,
exceeds the force due to pressure oil from travel
mode solenoid valve × pressurized area of spool,
which moves spool to the right, spool moves to
the left.
3. Pressure oils from ports M1 and M2 are blocked
with spool. Thus, pressure oil does not come to
control piston.
4. Pressure oil acting on control piston is returned to
hydraulic oil tank.
5. Consequently, the swash plate angle increases so
that the plunger stroke is extended, increasing the
motor displacement. Then, the motor runs at slow
speed.
6. Also, if the motor load pressure Pin lowers re-
sulting in the condition of [(motor pressure Pin x
pressurized area of piston) + spring force] <
[pressure from travel speed changeover solenoid
valve x pressurized area of spool], the spool
moves right again, and the motor runs at fast
speed.

OPERATIONAL PERFORMANCE TEST / Introduction
OPERATIONAL PERFORMANCE TEST
Use operational performance test procedure to quan-
titatively check all system and functions on the ma-
chine.
Purpose of Performance Tests Definition of “Allowable Limit”

1. To comprehensively evaluate each operational 1. Normal machine performance cannot be accom-
function by comparing the performance test data plished after exceeding this limit.
with the standard values.
2. According to the evaluation results, repair, adjust, 2. Repair or adjustment is impossible after exceed-
or replace parts or components as necessary to ing this limit.
restore the machine’s performance to the desired
standard. 3. Therefore, in consideration of operation efficiency
3. To economically operate the machine under op- and maintenance expense, proper maintenance
timal conditions. shall be carried out before reaching the “Allow-
able Limit”.
Kinds of Tests
1. Base machine performance test is to check the
operational performance of each system such as
engine, travel, swing, and hydraulic cylinders.
2. Hydraulic component unit test is to check the op-
erational performance of each component such
as hydraulic pump, motor, and various kinds of
valves.
Performance Standards
“Performance Standard” is shown in tables to evalu-
ate the performance test data.
Precautions for Evaluation of Test Data

1. To evaluate not only that the test data are correct,
but also in what range the test data are.
2. Be sure to evaluate the test data based on the
machine operation hours, kinds and state of work
loads, and machine maintenance conditions.
The machine performance does not always deteriorate

as the working hours increase. However, the machine
performance is normally considered to reduce in pro-
portion to the increase of the operation hours. Accord-
ingly, restoring the machine performance by repair,
adjustment, or replacement shall consider the number
of the machine’s working hours.
Definition of “Performance Standard”

1. Operation speed values and dimensions of the
new machine.
2. Operational performance of new components
adjusted to specifications. Allowable errors will be
indicated as necessary.

OPERATIONAL PERFORMANCE TEST / Introduction
PREPARATION FOR PERFORMANCE
TESTS
Observe the following rules in order to carry out
performance tests accurately and safely.
THE MACHINE
1. Repair any defects and damage found, such as
oil or water leaks, loose bolts, cracks and so on,
before starting to test.
TEST AREA
1. Select a hard and flat surface.
2. Secure enough space to allow the machine to run
straight more than 20 m (65 ft 7 in), and to make
a full swing with the front attachment extended.
3. If required, rope off the test area and provide
signboards to keep unauthorized personnel away.
PRECAUTIONS
1. Before starting to test, agree upon the signals to
be employed for communication among cowork-
ers. Once the test is started, be sure to commu- T105-06-01-003
nicate with each other using these signals, and to
follow them without fail.
2. Operate the machine carefully and always give
first priority to safety.
3. While testing, always take care to avoid accidents
due to landslides or contact with high-voltage
power lines. Always confirm that there is sufficient
space for full swings.
4. Avoid polluting the machine and the ground with
leaking oil. Use oil pans to catch escaping oil. Pay
special attention to this when removing hydraulic
pipings.
MAKE PRECISE MEASUREMENT

1. Accurately calibrate test instruments in advance
to obtain correct data.
2. Carry out tests under the exact test conditions
prescribed for each test item.
3. Repeat the same test and confirm that the test
data obtained can be produced repeatedly. Use T505-06-01-003
mean values of measurements if necessary.

OVERLOAD RELIEF VALVE SET PRES-
SURE
Summary:
1. With the return circuit from the control valve
blocked, the circuit pressure must be increased by
applying an external load. This checking method
is hazardous and the results obtained with this
method are unreliable.
2. Pressure setting of the overload relief valve must
be made at a specified oil flow rate normally far
smaller than the delivery flow rate of main relief
valve. Accordingly, even if the main relief valve set
pressure can be reset higher than the set pres-
sure of overload relief valve, the main pump sup-
plies too much oil to correctly measure the set
pressure of overload relief valve.
The main relief valve has pre-leaking function.
In this case, the set pressure of main relief valve
at pre-leaking function need to be set higher than
that of overload relief valve.
Accordingly, the main relief valve pressure setting
may not be reset higher than the set pressure of
overload relief valve plus the pressure at
pre-leaking.
Therefore, when the set pressure of overload re-
lief valve must be checked correctly, remove the
overload relief valve assembly from the machine
and check the overload relief valve unit perform-
ance using the test stand and test block prepared
for this purpose.
If the poppet of overload relief valve seats to the
body of control valve, the test block requires pre-
cise machining.
Use other control valve unit for the measurement
instead of the test block.
3. As an easier method, however, measure the relief
pressure of each cylinder in the same method as
of main relief pressure setting in previous section.
Then, when each relief pressure meets its re-
spective specifications, judge that the set pres-
sure of overload relief valve is correct.

TROUBLESHOOTING / Diagnosing Procedure
INTRODUCTION
Troubleshooting charts shown in this section indicate
the orderly procedures for inspecting and finding out
the cause(s) of problems in the machine.
This section is comprised of five groups: Outline,

Troubleshooting A (diagnosis of machine by system
failure indicator), Troubleshooting B (diagnosis of
machine by symptom), Troubleshooting C (diagnosis
of monitor), and Electric System Inspection.
• General
• Troubleshooting A (diagnosis of machine by

system failure indicator)
This procedure is used when system failure
indicator of the monitor flickers or is lit.
Example) System failure indicator: Flickering

every 1 second (engine control dial wire breakage
and shortcircuit)
• Troubleshooting B (diagnosis of machine by

symptom)
This procedure is used for diagnosis by
symptoms.
This is used in case flickering and lighting do not
take place after diagnosis by system failure
indicator.
Example: Even if the engine control dial is

operated, engine speed remains uncharged.
• Troubleshooting C (diagnosis of monitor)

This procedure is used when there are
malfunction on components regarding monitor,
such as gauges or indicators.
Example: Fuel gauge does not operate.
• Electric System Inspection

This procedure is used when the information on
precaution for electric system inspection or
inspection method is needed.
Example: Fuse inspection.
T5-1-1
DIAGNOSING PROCEDURE
Follow the five basic steps shown below for efficient
troubleshooting.
1. Know the system

Study the appropriate technical manuals. Know
what the system is composed of and how it works,
as well as the construction, functions and
specifications of the system components.
2. Ask the operator

T107-07-01-001
Before inspecting, get the full story of
malfunctions from a witness --- the operator.
• How the machine has been used and properly
operated?
• When was the trouble noticed, and what work
was the machine doing at that time?
• What is the character of the trouble? Did the
trouble slowly get worse, or did it appear suddenly
for the first time?
• Did the machine have any trouble previously?
• If so, which parts were repaired or replaced
before?
3. Inspect the machine

Before starting troubleshooting, check the
machine's daily maintenance points, as shown in
the operator's manual.
T107-07-01-002
Check the electrical system, including batteries.
Trouble in the electrical system such as low
battery voltage, loose connections and blown
fuses will result in malfunction of the controllers,
causing total operational failure of the machine.
Note that if the troubleshooting is performed

without noticing that the fuse is blown, it may lead
to the incorrect diagnosis results which causes
significant loss of time. Make sure to check the
fuse before performing the troubleshooting.
Fuse failure is often caused by a fine crack in the
fuse, and such fine cracks are very hard to detect
by visual inspection.
T107-07-01-003
T5-1-2
4. Inspect the actual trouble on the machine
Reproduce the trouble on the machine and make
sure the actual phenomenon.
In case some trouble cannot be actually
confirmed, obtain the details of the malfunction
from the operator.
Also check for any incomplete connections of the
wire harnesses.
5. Check by Each System

CAUTION: Always stop the engine before
disconnecting the harnesses or lines. If they T107-07-01-004
are disconnected while the engine running, it

may cause improper operation of the
machine, or the pressurized oil may spout.
Use "Troubleshooting A, B, C" in this chapter to

confirm the operation condition for each
equipment.
6. Trace causes
Before reaching a conclusion, check the most
suspect causes again. Try to trace what the real
cause of the trouble is.
Make a plan of appropriate repairing procedure,
to avoid consequential malfunctions.

FRONT ATTACHMENT SYSTEM TROU-
BLESHOOTING
All front attachment functions are weak.
• Not only the front attachment but also other func-

tions will have the problem. If the travel function is
also abnormal, refer to “All actuators do not work
or do slowly (T5-3-10).” In case only the front at-
tachment is abnormal, check the pilot valve.
T5-3-15
Only Specific cylinder(s) does not work, or it
(they) does slow and weakly.
• In case the cylinder speeds are slow, the pump

flow rate may be reduced. If the pump flow rate is
reduced due to some problems, only actuators
requiring more oil flow rate than the reduced pump
flow rate look to be slow.
• In case the cylinder works weakly, the relief valve
set pressure may be lower than specific one. Be
careful not to mix the problem of slow with that of
weak because these symptoms are different from
each other.

Only specific cylinder works fast.
• Even if the pump flow rate increases due to some

problems in the pump, the oil flow rate is con-
trolled so that the optimum oil flow can be sup-
plied to the actuators by the flow Pressure Com-
pensator in the control valve. Accordingly, any
problems in the pump will not cause the actuator
speed to increase. However, in case the flow
pressure compensator is stuck in the open posi-
tion, the flow pressure compensator will be unable
to control the optimum oil flow to the actuators
(excessive oil more than required will be supplied
to the actuators). Therefore, stuck flow pressure
compensator in the control valve may be the most
possible cause in this case.

If oil comes out from disconnected and opened
pipe on boom cylinder and the rod of that is re-

oil is leaking in the control valve.

of the load on boom cylinder.
2. If oil is leaking from bottom side (A) to

WORK AFTER REPLACING COMPO-
NENTS
The following work is required after replacing
compressor, high pressure hose, low pressure hose,
condenser, receiver-dryer, liquid hose, and air
conditioner unit.
The same work is required when gas leakage is found.
1. Add compressor oil

Compressor oil quantity: 100 cm
2. Charge air conditioner with refrigerant

• Purging
• Charge air conditioner with refrigerant
• Warm up operation
• Inspection
T5-3-45
CHARGE AIR CONDITIONER WITH
REFRIGERANT
Necessity of Purging
Be sure to purge the air conditioner circuit with a
vacuum before charging with refrigerant (HFC-134a)
because the following problems can arise if air or
other gases remain in the A/C circuit.
Air
1. Pressure rise in the high pressure side
If air remains in the air conditioner circuit, this

disturbs the heat exchange between refrigerant
and air in the condenser, causing pressure to rise
in the high pressure side (compressor side).
Usually, refrigerant gas is easily liquefied;
however, air cannot be liquefied and remains as a
gas in the condenser because the temperature at
which air liquefies is extremely low. That is, Pressure increases if air
W115-02-10-001
liquidation of the refrigerant gas in the condenser remains in the air
conditioner circuit
decreases by the amount of air in the circuit, and
the gas pressure in the high pressure side
increases accordingly.
2. Metal corrosion
If air remains in the air conditioner circuit, a

chemical reaction between refrigerant and
moisture in the air takes place, and as a result,
hydrochloric acid, that corrodes metals such as
aluminum, copper and iron, is produced.
Hydrochloric acid Hydrochloric acid W115-02-10-002
corrodes metals if
moisture exists
Metal corrosion
3. Plugging of the expansion valve by moisture
When high pressure refrigerant gas passes

through the expansion valve, gas pressure
decreases and temperature drops. Moisture
included in high pressure refrigerant gas in the air
conditioner circuit freezes at the expansion valve
orifice, plugging refrigerant flow. Operation of the Plugged refrigerant
air conditioner becomes unstable and cooling flow

IMPORTANT: If the air conditioner is operated with
very low refrigerant, a bad load will
be exerted on the compressor. If the
air conditioner is overcharged with
refrigerant, cooling efficiency will
lower and abnormal high pressure
will arise in the air conditioner
circuit, causing danger.

TROUBLESHOOTING / Electrical System Inspection
PRECAUTIONS FOR INSPECTION AND
MAINTENANCE
1. Disconnect the power source.
Be sure to remove the negative terminals from
the batteries first when taking wire harnesses and
connectors off for repair or replacement work.
Failure to do so can result in damage to the wire
harnesses, fuses, and slow blow fuse and, in
some cases, cause fire due to short circuiting. Code Color Code Color
2. Color coding of wire harnesses. R Red W White
The color codes of the wire harnesses in the L Blue G Green
electrical system are shown below. O Orange Lg Light Green
In cases on the design sheet where two colors Y Yellow B Black
are indicated for one wire, the left initial stands for Br Brown P Pink
Gr Gray V Violet
the base color, while the right initial stands for the
marking color.
NOTE: 1) Code BW indicates a black base wire

with white fine-line marking.
2) Initials “O” and “Or” both stand for the
color orange.
3) Wires with longitudinal stripes printed
on them are not color coded. Be sure
not to confuse them with color coded
wires.
Right Wrong
3. Precautions for connecting and disconnecting
terminal connectors.
• When disconnecting harnesses, grasp them by
their connectors. Do not pull on the wire itself.
Be sure to release the lock first before attempting T107-07-06-001
to separate connectors, if a lock is provided.

• Water-resistant connectors keep water out so that
if water enters them, water will not easily drain
from them. When checking water resistant Right
connectors, take extra care not to allow water to

enter the connectors. In case water should enter
Wrong
the connectors, reconnect only after the
(Deformation)
connectors are thoroughly dried.
• Before connecting terminal connectors, check Wrong (Coming off, Separation)
that no terminals are bent or coming off. In
addition, as, most connectors are made of brass, T107-07-06-002
check that no terminals are rusting.

• When connecting terminal connectors provided
with a lock, be sure to insert them together until
the lock "clicks."
T5-5-1
4. Precaution for using a circuit tester.
Wind a piece of wire Tester Probe
• Before using a circuit tester, refer to the
instructions in the circuit tester manual.
Then, set the circuit tester to meet the object to
be measured, voltage range and current polarity.
• Before starting the connector test, always check
Sharpen the end of wire
the connector terminal numbers, referring to the T107-07-06-003
circuit diagram.
When the connector size is very small, and the
standard probe size is too large to be used for
testing, wind a fine piece of sharpened wire or a
pin around the probe to make the test easier.
• When performing the connector test with the
circuit tester, be sure to insert the tester probe
from the connector harness side in order not to
damage the terminals in the connector.
T5-5-2
FUSE CONTINUITY TEST
Fuse failure is often caused by a fine crack in the fuse,
and such fine cracks are very hard to detect by visual
inspection.
Checking fuse continuity with a tester is far superior to 1
sight inspection. 2

3. Connect the negative probe to the vehicle ground,
and touch the outside terminal of each fuse with
the positive probe of the tester.
When normal continuity of a fuse is intact, the
tester will indicate 12 volts.
