Perform the following steps to remove the counterweight:
1. Locate the backup camera wiring harness (4), behind
the right rear access door. Identify and disconnect
the wiring harness connector.
NOTE: When removing the counterweight fasteners from
the frame, note the location and type of shims
used to level the counterweight. Replace the
shims exactly the same way when reattaching the
counterweight.
2. Remove the eight fasteners (6) and spacers (5) that
secure the counterweight to the machine frame.

3. Start the machine and set the throttle to low idle.


4. Access the Tool Select screen. See “Tool Select

WARNING
Do not move the counterweight onto a surface or
area that cannot support its weight. The
counterweight is heavy and could possibly break
through surfaces that are not strong enough to
support it, which could result in death or serious
injury.

NOTE: Make sure the ground is firm under the


counterweight. Do not let the counterweight sink
more than 1 ft. (32 cm) into the ground, or the
machine may not be able to pick up the
counterweight.

NOTE: Use any engine oil meeting Cummins® Engine Standard Classification (CES) 20081. Due to its
comparatively better lubricating characteristics (including improved oil consumption, engine operation in frigid
climates, and continued lubrication in high temperatures), SAE 15W-40 is recommended for a majority of climates.
In some circumstances, short-term use of low-viscosity engine oil in cold temperatures (below 23°F [–5°C]) is
acceptable; however, long-term use can reduce engine life.

A variety of optional one-way and two-way flow
equipment is available for use on this machine. A 2
hydraulic breaker is an example of one-way flow
equipment, and a shear is an example of two-way flow

The equipment control valves are two stop valves and a
return flow selector valve. The two stop valves are
mounted on the machine arm, and the return flow
selector valve is near the base of the boom, in the center
of the machine.
NOTE: Consult a SANY dealer for hydraulic flow and
pressure adjustment needed for the attached
equipment.
