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.

Compressed air can cause personal injury. When


using compressed air for cleaning, wear a
protective face shield, protective clothing,

work on hills, on banks and on slopes. Also, the
machine can tip when the machine goes across
ditches, hillocks or other unexpected

To prevent the machine from tipping over or
damaging the attachment due to overloading,
never exceed the machines rated capacity. See

1. To ensure the safety of the machine during usage, the user must adhere to replace the parts listed in the above table
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.
4. If the pipe folder of the fixed hose has any damage, such as distortion or cracks, it should be replaced together with
the hose.
5. Please replace the O-ring, seals and other parts like these at the same time when replace the hose.
6. Please contact the designated dealer of Liugong Machinery Co., Ltd. to replace the safety key parts.
