INTRODUCTION
Read this manual carefully to learn how to operate and
service your machine correctly. Failure to do so could
result in personal injury or equipment damage.
This standard specification machine can be operated
under the following conditions without being modified.
Atmospheric Temperature: −20 °C to 40 °C (−4 °F to 104 °F)
Altitude: 0 m to 1500 m (0 ft to 4900 ft)
In case the machine is used under conditions other than
described above, consult your authorized dealer.
This manual should be considered a permanent part of
your machine and should remain with the machine when
you sell it.
This machine is of metric design. Measurements in this
manual are metric. Use only metric hardware and tools as
specified.
• SIUnits(InternationalSystemofUnits)areusedinthis
manual.
ForreferenceMKSsystemunitsandEnglishunitsare
alsoindicatedinparenthesesaftertheSIunits.
Example:24.5MPa(250kgf/cm²,3560psi)
Right-hand and left-hand sides are determined by
facing in the direction of forward travel.
Write product identification numbers in the Machine
Numbers section. Accurately record all the numbers
to help in tracing the machine should it be stolen.
Your dealer also needs these numbers when you order
parts.Ifthismanualiskeptonthemachine,alsofilethe
identification numbers in a secure place off the machine.
UseonlydieselfuelwithqualityspecifiedinJISK-2204,
EN-590,ASTMD-975,GOSTR52368orGB252.
Failure to use diesel fuel with quality as specified
abovemayallowtheenginetoemitexhaustgaswhich
cleanness can not conform to the requests in various
relevant regulations. In addition, serious damage to the
engine may result. Consult with your authorized dealer for
detailed information.
Warranty is provided as a part of Hitachis support
program for customers who operate and maintain their

Avoidstoringtransparentbottlesinthecab.Donot
attach any transparent type window decorations on
the windowpanes as they may focus sunlight, possibly
starting a fire.
Refrainfromlisteningtotheradio,orusingmusic
headphones or mobile telephones in the cab while
operating the machine.
Keepallflammableobjectsand/orexplosivesawayfrom

matchand/ortobacco.
Donotleavecigarettelightersinthecab.Whenthe
temperature in the cab increases, the lighter may
explode.
Use proper floor mat dedicated to the machine. If another
floor mat is used, it may be displaced and contact with
the travel pedals during operation, resulting in serious
injury or death.
SAFETY
S-5
Use Handrails and Steps
Falling is one of the major causes of personal injury.
Whenyougetonandoffthemachine,alwaysusethe
crawler instead of the step for safety. Also get on and off
from the position of the crawler that can secure your feet
space enough.
Whenyougetonandoffthemachine,alwaysfacethe
machine.
Maintainathree-pointcontactwiththestepsand
handrails.
Donotuseanycontrolsashandholds.
Never jump on or off the machine. Never mount or
dismount a moving machine.
In case adhered slippery material such as oil, grease,
or mud is present on steps, handrails, or platforms,
thoroughly remove such material.
Adjust the Operator's Seat
A poorly adjusted seat for either the operator or for the
workathandmayquicklyfatiguetheoperatorleadingto
misoperations.
The seat should be adjusted whenever changing the
operator for the machine.
The operator should be able to fully depress the pedals
andtocorrectlyoperatethecontrolleverswithhisback
againsttheseatback.
Ifnot,movetheseatforwardorbackward,andcheck
again.
Adjust the rear view mirror position so that the best rear
visibility is obtained from the operator’s seat. If the mirror
isbroken,immediatelyreplaceitwithanewone.

Fasten Your Seat Belt
If the machine should overturn, the operator may become
injuredand/orthrownfromthecab.Additionallythe
operator may be crushed by the overturning machine,
resulting in serious injury or death.
Priortooperatingthemachine,thoroughlyexamine
webbing,buckleandattachinghardware.Ifanyitemis
damaged or worn, replace the seat belt or component
before operating the machine.
Besuretoremainseatedwiththeseatbeltsecurely

machine starts to move.
Use a signal person when moving, swinging, or operating
the machine in congested areas. Coordinate hand signals
before starting the machine.
Useappropriateillumination.Checkthatalllightsare
operable before operating the machine. If any faulty
illumination is present, immediately repair it.
Ensurethecabdoor,windows,doorsandcoversare
