3.14.3 Air conditioner operation precautions

• When running the air conditioning system, always start with the engine running at a low speed.
Avoid starting the air conditioner when the engine is running at a high speed, or possible dam-
age to the air conditioner may result .
• If water should get on control panel or sunlight sensor, an unexpected failure may result. Always
keep these components clear and free from water. In addition, keep these components away
from naked flame.
• For the auto function of the air conditioner to work properly, always keep the sunlight sensor
clean and free from debris, or it will influence the function of sunlight sensor.

1. Ventilation

• When the air conditioner has been operat-


ing for hours, the "fresh air/recirculation

3-70 Operation & Maintenance Manual-May-2020


SY305C LC (Stage Ⅴ)Hydraulic Excavator System Functions

mode" shall be switched to "fresh air mode"


every hour for ventilation.
• If you smoke when air conditioner is run-
ning, the smoke may hurt your eyes. In this
case, the "fresh air/recirculation mode" shall
be switched to "fresh air mode" in order to
eliminate the smoke through continuous
cooling.

2. Temperature control

• When the compressor is working, set the


temperature (5 or 6°C (9 or 10.8° F) above
outdoor temperature) that just makes you
feel cool after entering the cab. This tem-
perature difference is considered as the
most healthy temperature. Therefore, the
temperature shall be adjusted properly.

3. Inspection and maintenance of air con-


ditioned machine

• When checking and maintaining the air con-


ditioned machine, follow the instructions in
the Maintenance section.
• When the air conditioner has not been used
for a long time, it is necessary to often run
the engine at low speed and conduct cool-
ing, dehumidifying and heating operations
for several minutes in order to prevent loss
of oil fi lm on each component.
• The air conditioner will not work if the inter-
nal temperature of cab is low. You can cir-
culate fresh air into the cab so as to
increase the temperature. Switch on the air
conditioner again to make it work.

5.Maintenance
5.1 Maintenance Information
Never conduct any inspection and maintenance work other than the scope specified in this
manual.

Service hour meter reading

Check the service hour meter reading on a daily basis and determine whether the machine re-
quires the specified maintenance.

Genuine Sany parts

Always use genuine Sany replacement parts listed in the Parts Manual.

Genuine Sany lubricants

Always use genuine Sany oil and grease. Select oil and grease of suitable viscosity according to
ambient temperature.

Window washer fluid

Use automotive windshield washer fluids only. Make sure it is not contaminated by foreign
substances.

Using clean lubricants

Always use clean oil and grease and keep the container clean. Keep oil and grease free of any
impurities.

Checking the drained oil and used filter elements

After oil change and filter element replacement, check the used oil and filter element for signs of
metal particles and foreign material. If large amount of metal particles and/or impurities are ob-
served in the used oil and filter element, take immediate action or inform your boss in time.

Fuel strainer

If a fuel strainer is equipped in the fuel tank filler opening, do not remove it when filling the tank.

Welding instruction

• Disconnect the negative (-) post of the battery one(1) minute after turning off the start switch.
• Connect grounding cable in a place where is more than 1 meter from the welding location. The
meters and gauges will fail if the grounding cable is connected to the instrument, connectors or
other attachments.

Operation & Maintenance Manual-May-2020 5-5


Maintenance SY305C LC (Stage Ⅴ)Hydraulic Excavator

• If any sealing part or bearing is present between the welding location and the grounding point,
change the grounding point to avoid such parts.
• Never use a grounding point in the vicinity of the work equipment pin or hydraulic cylinder.
• Never apply more than 200V continuously.

Preventing things from falling into machine

• When opening the access window or tank filler for inspection, make sure that the nuts, bolts or
tools are not left inside the machine. Failure to do so may result in unexpected failure or damage
to the machine, or accidents. In case that any materials fall into the machine, remove it
immediately.
• Do not carry unnecessary items in your pockets except those necessary for inspection.

Dusty work site

Observe the following items before working in a dusty place.


• When inspecting your machine or changing the oil, park your machine in a dust-free place in or-
der to prevent dust from getting into the oil.
• Clean the air filter cartridge immediately if the filter's alarm indicates clogging.
• Clean the fins and other heat exchanger parts frequently to avoid them being clogged.
• Clean and replace the fuel filter frequently.
• Clean the electrical components, especially the start motor and the alternator, to prevent dust
from building up on them.

Lubricants of different brands

Never mix lubricants of different brands and/or grades together. If you need to use the lubricant of
another brand or grade, drain the old lubricant completely and replace with the new brand.

Securing access cover

When servicing the machine with the access covers open, use a locking lever to secure the cover
to certain position. Otherwise, the cover can be swung close by wind and cause bodily injury.

Purging air from hydraulic system

When any hydraulic units have been repaired or replaced or any hydraulic lines have been re-
moved or installed, always bleed the air from the system.

Connecting hydraulic hoses

• In removal of parts with O-rings or gaskets, clean the installation surfaces and replace with new
parts. Remember to install the O-rings or gaskets.

5-6 Operation & Maintenance Manual-May-2020


SY305C LC (Stage Ⅴ)Hydraulic Excavator Maintenance

• Do not twist or bend the hydraulic hoses when assembling. Failure to do so could cause damage
to the hoses and considerably reduce their service life.

After inspection and maintenance

If no checks have been made after inspection and maintenance, unexpected failure may occur,
causing severe injury or damage. The following items must be observed:
• Checks when machine is running

– For more information, see "Maintenance with engine running".

– Whether the checked or maintained parts work normally.

– Whether oil leakage occurs when the engine speed increases and the oil is under pressure.

• Checks after the operation (when the engine has been shut down)

– Whether you have missed the items to be checked or maintained.

– Whether all the checks and maintenance have been performed correctly.

– Whether any tools and parts are left in the machine. It is very dangerous to have a foreign ob-
ject blocked in the linkage.

– Whether leakage of water or oil occurs; whether all the bolts have been screwed tightly.

Closing engine hood properly

When the engine hood is closed after inspection and maintenance, hold the lever and lift the en-
gine hood slightly in order to check whether the lock is securely engaged. An unlocked hood may
be opened and cause accidents.

5.2 Oil, fuel and coolant


5.2.1 Oil

• The oils in engine and hydraulic units keep deteriorating when operating your machine under ex-
treme conditions, such as high pressure and high temperature.
• Always use recommended type of oil which shall also be applicable under extreme ambient
temperatures.
• Within the specified oil change interval, the oil must be changed even if it is not dirty.
• Lubricant shall be handled carefully in order to prevent impurities such as water, metal particles
and dust.
• Most troubles of the machine are caused by impurities. Pay special attention to the prevention
of any impurities when storing or filling the oil.
• Fill the amount of oil as specified. Failure to do so could result in abnormality.

Operation & Maintenance Manual-May-2020 5-7


Maintenance SY305C LC (Stage Ⅴ)Hydraulic Excavator

• Do not mix oils of different grades or brands together.


• Contact Sany dealer when the oil in your work equipment has been contaminated by water or
air.
• To know the condition of your machine, regular oil quality analysis is recommended. Contact
Sany dealer if you need such service.
• In replacement of engine oil filter element, acceptable clean oil shall be filled into the new filter
element prior to installation.
• Please use the oils approved by Sany.
• Do not use the hydraulic oil that has not been approved by Sany, which can block filter cartridge.
• Remove the remaining oil as much as possible from the lines and cylinders when changing the
hydraulic oil. A small amount of different residual is acceptable.

5.2.2 Fuel

• To prevent the moisture in air from condensing in the fuel tank, the tank must be fully refueled
after each workday.
• The fuel injection pump is a precise component, which may not work normally if the fuel contains
water or other foreign substances.
• The sediment and water in the fuel tank must be drained before starting the engine or after 10
minutes since injection of oil.
• Flush the fuel tank and the fuel system in case of any impurities found in the fuel tank.
• The air in fuel path must be eliminated in case that the engine runs out of fuel or the filter car-
tridge has been replaced.
• Always use the type of fuel specified in the "Maintenance" section.
• The fuel can freeze below the specified temperature (especially lower than -15°C (5°F)).
• When the fuel is used above the specified temperature, its viscosity and output power will de-
crease .
• When the fuel is used above the specified temperature, its viscosity and output power will de-
crease .

NOTE:
• Always use diesel oil as the fuel.
• To ensure favorable consumption and exhaust of the fuel, the engine installed to your machine
uses high-pressure oil injection unit with mechanical control. The unit contains high-precision
components that require high-quality lubrication. Therefore, the use of low-viscosity fuel with low
lubricating capability will considerably reduce the service life of the unit.
• Sulfur content in fuel generates sulfur oxide in combustion, which reacts with water and produces
dilute sulphuric acid that will impair the engine. To prevent such fault, always use a fuel whose
sulfur content is lower than 0.2%.

5-8 Operation & Maintenance Manual-May-2020


SY305C LC (Stage Ⅴ)Hydraulic Excavator Maintenance

5.2.3 Coolant

• The coolant is an important fluid against corrosion and freezing.


Anti-freezing coolant is also necessary in regions where freezing prevention is unnecessary.
• Sany recommends TEEC-L35 antifreeze. This antifreeze has a concentration of 50% and needs
no dilution. TEEC-L35 antifreeze has excellent performance in anticorrosion, anti-freezing and
cooling, and can last for one year or 2000 hours.
Sany does not recommend you using coolants other than TEEC-L35 antifreeze. The use of oth-
er coolants is possible to cause serious problems, such as corrosion of the light metal parts of
the engine and cooling system.
• If you buy antifreeze from the market, make sure that the antifreeze's concentration is within the
range 30-68% in order to ensure its performance against corrosion.
• The ratio of mixing antifreeze with water is determined by the minimum ambient temperature, as
shown in the following table.

Water-antifreeze mixing ratio


Min. ℃ -10 -15 -20 -25 -30 -35 -40
temperature ℉ 14 5 -4 -13 -22 -31 –40
Mixing ratio (%) 30 36 41 46 50 54 58

NOTE:
• Use distilled water or tap water (softened water) to dilute anti-freezing coolant.
• Natural water, such as river water and well water (hard water), contains large amount of minerals
(calcium, magnesium, etc.), which can easily scale in the engine and radiator. The scale is hardly
removed once formed in the engine and radiator. Overheat can occur due to unfavorable heat
exchange.

5.2.4 Grease

• Grease is used to prevent distortion and noise of joints.


• It is necessary to add grease to any component that appears inflexible or noisy after operation
for a long period.
• Always use the recommended greases. Select the grease according to change interval and am-
bient temperature recommended in this manual.
• Wipe off the used grease that has been squeezed out when greasing. Make sure to wipe off the
used grease that has been contaminated by sand or debris, which can otherwise lead to wear of
rotating components.

Operation & Maintenance Manual-May-2020 5-9


Maintenance SY305C LC (Stage Ⅴ)Hydraulic Excavator

5.2.5 Oil and fuel storage

5.2.5.1 foreword

• Store the oils and fuel indoors in order to keep them free from water, dust and other foreign
substances.
• To store the barrel of oil or fuel for a long period, it is necessary to place the barrel with its open-
ing facing the side in order to prevent intake of moisture. If you have to place the barrels out-
doors, cover them properly with waterproof canvas or take other protective measures.
• To prevent deterioration of oil or fuel during long-term storage, use the oil or fuel that has been
stored earlier than others.

5.2.5.2 Filter element

• Filter element is extremely important for safety. It can prevent failures by keeping important devi-
ces free from impurities coming from oil path or air path. All filter elements must be replaced reg-
ularly. For more information see related sections in this manual.
• When operating in severe conditions, the filter elements shall be replaced more frequently ac-

• To keep your machine at the maximum state for a long period of time, it is necessary follow the
oil instructions described in this manual. Failure to do so can cause over-wear and service life
reduction of the engine, power train, cooling system and other components.
• The additives available in market could benefit your machine, but they could impair your ma-
chine as well. We do not recommend any lubricant additives.
• The specific capacity refers to the overall oil volume in tanks and lines. Supplementary volume
refers to the amount of oil used to make up the system in inspection and maintenance.
• The use of multigrade oils is strongly recommended when starting the engine at temperatures
below 0°C (32°F), even if the daytime temperatures rises above 0°C (32°F).
• Use the recommended oils according the ambient temperatures given in the following table.

Recommended oils:

1. Engine oil
Select the oil of proper viscosity according to the temperature range given in the oil change
schedule.
Engine oil grade: Above API CI-4
Recommended engine oil brand and type: Caltex CI-4 15W-40

2. Engine fuel
Light diesel oil (GB252.81)

3. Hydraulic oil
The hydraulic system uses Caltex HDZ46 hydraulic oil (code B420106000036).

CAUTION
• In most cases, the use of fuel ASTH2 and the diesel oil (minimum cetane number is 40) can
achieve the best economic result and operating performance. At where the elevation is high or
the ambient temperature is too low, it is necessary to use the fuel whose cetane number is more
than 40 in order to prevent flameout and too much smoke.
• When the fuel of low sulfur content is used, its cloud point shall be at least 10ºC lower than the
expected minimum fuel temperature. Cloud point is the temperature at which the waxy crystals
begin to form.
• The universal diesel fuel of commercial brands shall contain sulfur that is less than 0.2%. If it is
more than 0.2%, Please shorten the change interval. Be sure to conduct according to the fol-
lowing table:

sulfur containing change interval


0.2 ~ 0.5% 1/2 standard interval
0.5 ~ 1.0% 1/4 standard interval

• Clean fuel free from water and/or impurities shall be ensured before refueling.
• The diesel fuel that contains more water and/or impurities can cause clogging, Please change
the filter when it is clogged.

5.8.4.2 Track tension - inspect/adjust

Wear of the undercarriage pins and bushings


may vary with operating conditions and soil
type. Therefore, the tracks shall be inspected
often so as to maintain a proper track tension.

Operation & Maintenance Manual-May-2020 5-25


Maintenance SY305C LC (Stage Ⅴ)Hydraulic Excavator

Park the machine on a hard and level ground


before checking and adjusting track tension.

Track Tension Inspection

1. Run the engine at low idle speed. Travel the


machine forward for a distance equivalent to 2
the length of the track on the ground. Then, a
stop the machine slowly.

2. Place a straight piece of wood bar on top of


the track grousers between the idler [1] and
the carrier roller [2]. 1
CZ335-1104016
3. Measure the gap [a] between the bottom
the wood bar and the top surface of the track Fig.5-10

grousers just below the bar.

Standard dimension of gap (a): 10~30mm


(0.4~1.2in)

Adjustment

If track tension is beyond the standard range,


adjust it as per the following procedures.

WARNING
• When adjusting track tension, failure to ob-
serve maintenance procedures as speci-
fied may cause the grease discharge plug
to eject and result in serious injury or CZ335-1102081

death.
Fig.5-11
• Do not have your face, hands, feet and
other body parts directly facing the grease
discharge plug when adjusting track
tension.

SY305C LC (Stage Ⅴ)Hydraulic Excavator Maintenance

Increasing track tension

WARNING
• Never loosen the grease discharge plug
when increasing the track tension. Failure
to follow this warning could result in seri-
ous injury or death.

To increase track tension, prepare a grease


CZ335-1102080
gun.
Fig.5-12

To increase track tension, prepare a grease


gun.
1
1. Inject grease through the grease fitting [2]
2
with the grease gun. (The grease fitting [2]
and the grease discharge plug [1] form an in-
tegral part.)

2. Slowly travel the machine forward (7~8 m


{23 ft ~26 ft 3 in}) in order to check whether
the track tension is suitable. CZ335-1104020

3. Check the track tension again. Make further Fig.5-13


adjustment if track tension is still beyond the
standard range.

4. Continue to add grease till the distance (S)


becomes null (0). If the track is still loose, it is
probably because the pin roll and bushing are
over-worn. In this case, the pin rolls or bush-
ings must be swapped or replaced. Contact
S
Sany dealer for repair.

under high pressure. Never loosen the
plug more than one turn.
• Do not loosen any other components ex-
cept the grease discharge plug.
CZ335-1102080
To reduce track tension, prepare a long socket
wrench. Fig.5-15

1. Slowly turn the grease discharge plug [1]


counterclockwise with the long socket wrench.
Grease will come out from the grease fitting
[2].
Do not loosen the plug [1] more than one turn.

2. If the grease does not come out smoothly,


travel the machine back and forth for a short
distance.

3. When suitable track tension is obtained,


tighten the discharge plug [1].
To check whether proper track tension is
achieved, run the engine at low idle speed,
travel the machine forward (for a distance that
is equivalent to the length of the track on the
ground), and then stop the machine.

4. Check the track tension again. Make further


adjustment if track tension is still beyond the

WARNING
• The accumulator contains pressurized ni-
trogen, which may explode due to improp-
er operation and result in machine damage
and personal injury.
• Be away from fire sources.
• Do not bump or roll the accumulator. Keep
it free from any impacts.
• Vent the air completely when handling the

dealer to do this job.

NOTE:
In continuous operation with low nitrogen
pressure in the accumulator, the remaining
pressure in hydraulic circuit will not be re-
leased once failure occurs to your machine.

Functions of the accumulator

The accumulator stores the pressure of the


control circuit. Even if the engine is turned off,
the control oil circuit allows you to achieve the
following operations:
• Operate the control lever to lower the work
equipment. The work equipment will fall
due to gravity.
• The pressure in hydraulic circuit can be
released. CB13041502-1

The installation location of the accumulator is Fig.5-95


shown in the right illustration.

Maintenance SY305C LC (Stage Ⅴ)Hydraulic Excavator

If there is the possibility that contaminated


DEF has gone through the DEF dosing sys-
tem, check the DEF filter prior to discarding it.

Check the diesel exhaust filter for evidence of


contaminated DEF. Use visual and aroma
characteristics of the filter to determine if con-
taminated fluid has passed through the dosing
system.

Inspect the DEF filter for debris. If debris is


evident, also check:

5.8.12.2 Aftertreatment Diesel Particu-


late Filter - Check

WARNING
During regeneration, exhaust gas temperature could reach 800°C [1500°F], and exhaust system
surface temperature could exceed 700°C [1300°F], which is hot enough to ignite or melt common
materials, and to burn the skin. The exhaust and exhaust components can remain hot after the
vehicle has stopped moving. To avoid the risk of fire, property damage, burns, or personal injury,
allow the exhaust system to cool before beginning this procedure or repair and make sure that no
combustible materials are located where they are likely to come in contact with hot exhaust or
exhaust components.

CAUTION

The aftertreatment diesel oxidation catalyst (DOC) elements contained in the aftertreatment sys-
tem are made of brittle material. Do not drop or strike the side of the aftertreatment system as dam-
age to the aftertreatment DOC element can result.

The aftertreatment system (DOC/DPF) is


composed of three sections. These sections
are:

1. Aftertreatment DOC

2. Aftertreatment Diesel Particulate Filter


(DPF)

3. Outlet.

Fig.5-119

Maintenance Check

If the aftertreatment DPF is being removed for


an ash cleaning or soot cleaning maintenance
interval, the aftertreatment DPF will need to
be removed and cleaned using a cleaning tool
approved by SANY. Refer to a SANY Author-
ized Repair Location for information regarding
parts and operation of SANY approved clean-
ing tools. Conventional cleaning can not be
Fig.5-120
used to clean aftertreatment DPFs.
While air cleaning is allowed, the SANY preferred method would be to exchange the DPF at the
recommended maintenance interval.

Because it can be difficult to determine if an aftertreatment DPF is plugged with ash or soot, it will
be necessary to clean the aftertreatment DPF before performing a stationary regeneration to

5-86 Operation & Maintenance Manual-May-2020


SY305C LC (Stage Ⅴ)Hydraulic Excavator Maintenance

prevent any system damage from occurring. For information on how to perform a stationary regen-
eration, refer to a SANY Authorized Repair Location.

Performing the ash and/or soot cleaning procedure will:

(1) Remove excess soot to allow a stationary regeneration without damaging the aftertreatment
DPF.

(2) Allow the aftertreatment DPF to be reused after a 1981 and/or 1922 fault code occurs.

(3) Remove excess ash and improve regeneration frequency.

Performing a stationary regeneration after cleaning the aftertreatment DPF for ash and/or soot will:

(1) Remove any residual soot from the system that was not removed during the cleaning
procedure.

(2) Test the diesel oxidation catalyst efficiency.

(3) Test the aftertreatment system functionality.

6-6 Operation & Maintenance Manual-May-2020


SY305C LC (Stage Ⅴ)Hydraulic Excavator Troubleshooting

• Workers in the same team must use the same signal system. Keep other personnel a safe dis-
tance away from the machine.
• If the radiator cap is removed when the engine is hot. Hot coolant may squirt out and cause
burns, wait for the engine to cool down before troubleshooting.
• Take care not to touch any hot parts or be caught by any rotating parts.
• Before disconnecting any electrical wiring, always disconnect the negative (–) post of battery.
• Before removing the plug or cap from any vessel that contains pressurized oil, water or air, re-
lease the internal pressure. When installing a measuring equipment, be sure to connect it
properly.
The aim of troubleshooting is to pinpoint the basic cause of the failure, to carry out repairs swiftly,
and to prevent reoccurrence of the failure.

When carrying out troubleshooting, it is important to understand the structure and function.

However, a short cut to effective troubleshooting is to ask the operator various questions to form
some idea of possible causes of the failure that would produce the reported symptoms.

1. When carrying out troubleshooting, do not hurry to disassemble the components.


If components are disassembled immediately any failure occurs:
• Parts that have no connection with the failure or other unnecessary parts will be disassembled.
• It will become impossible to find the cause of the failure.
It will also cause a waste of man-hours, parts, or oil or grease, and at the same time, will also lose
the confidence of the user or operator.
For this reason, when carrying out troubleshooting, it is necessary to carry out thorough prior in-
vestigation and to carry out troubleshooting in accordance with the fixed procedure.

2. Points to ask user or operator:

1) Have any other problems occurred apart from the problem that has been reported?

2) Was there anything strange about the machine before the failure occurred?

3) Did the failure occur suddenly, or were there problems with the machine condition before this?

4) Under what conditions did the failure occur?

5) Had any repairs been carried out before the failure? When were these repairs carried out?

6) Has the same kind of failure occurred before?

3. Check before troubleshooting

1) Check the oil level.

2) Check for any external leakage of oil from the piping or hydraulic equipment.

3) Check the travel of the control levers.

Operation & Maintenance Manual-May-2020 6-7


Troubleshooting SY305C LC (Stage Ⅴ)Hydraulic Excavator

4) Check the stroke of the control valve spool.

5) Other maintenance items can be checked externally, so check any item that is considered to be
necessary.

4. Confirming failure
• Confirm the extent of the failure yourself, and judge whether to handle it as a real failure or as a
problem with the method of operation, etc.
• When operating the machine to reenact the troubleshooting symptoms, do not carry out any in-
vestigation or measurement that may make the problem worse.

5. Troubleshooting
• Use the results of the investigation and inspection in Items 2 – 4 to narrow down the causes of
failure, then use the troubleshooting flowchart to locate the position of the failure exactly.
• The basic procedure for troubleshooting is as follows.

1) Start from the simple points.

2) Start from the most likely points.

3) Investigate other related parts or information.

6. Measures to remove root cause of failure


• Even if the failure is repaired, if the root cause of the failure is not repaired, the same failure will
occur again. To prevent this, always investigate why the problem occurred. Then, remove the
root cause.

6.2.3 Electrical circuits troubleshooting precautions

1. Always turn the power off before disconnecting or connect connectors.

2. Before carrying out troubleshooting, check that all the related connectors are properly inserted.
• Disconnect and connect the related connectors several times to check.

3. Always connect any disconnected connectors before going on to the next step.
• If the power is turned ON with the connectors still disconnected, unnecessary abnormality dis-
plays will be generated.

4. When carrying out troubleshooting of circuits (measuring the voltage, resistance, continuity, or
current), move the related wiring and connectors several times and check that there is no change
in the reading of the tester.
• If there is any change, there is probably defective contact in that circuit.

6-8 Operation & Maintenance Manual-May-2020


SY305C LC (Stage Ⅴ)Hydraulic Excavator Troubleshooting

6.2.4 Hydraulic components handling precautions

With the increase in pressure and precision of


hydraulic equipment, the most common cause
of failure is dirt (foreign material) in the hy-
draulic circuit. When adding hydraulic oil, or
when disassembling or assembling hydraulic
equipment, it is necessary to be particularly
careful.

1. Be careful of the operating environment

Avoid adding hydraulic oil, replacing filters, or


repairing the machine in rain or high winds, or
places where there is a lot of dust.

2. Disassembly and maintenance work in the


field

If disassembly or maintenance work is carried


out on hydraulic equipment in the field, there
is danger of dust entering the equipment. It is
also difficult to confirm the performance after Fig.6-1
repairs, so it is desirable to use unit exchange.
Disassembly and maintenance of hydraulic
equipment should be carried out in a specially
prepared dust-proof workshop, and the per-
formance should be confirmed with special
test equipment.

3. Do not let any dirt or dust get in during refill-


ing operations.

Be careful not to let any dirt or dust get in


when refilling with hydraulic oil. Always keep
the oil filler and the area around it clean, and
also use clean pumps and oil containers. If an
oil cleaning device is used, it is possible to fil-
ter out the dirt that has collected during stor-
age, so this is an even more effective method.

4. Change hydraulic oil when the temperature


Fig.6-2
is high.

When hydraulic oil or other oil is warm, it flows


easily. In addition, the sludge can also be
drained out easily from the circuit together
Operation & Maintenance Manual-May-2020 6-9
Troubleshooting SY305C LC (Stage Ⅴ)Hydraulic Excavator

with the oil, so it is best to change the oil when


it is still warm. When changing the oil, as
much as possible of the old hydraulic oil must
be drained out. (Drain the oil from the hydraul-
ic tank; also drain the oil from the filter and
from the drain plug in the circuit.) If any old oil
is left, the contaminants and sludge in it will
mix with the new oil and will shorten the life of
the hydraulic oil.

5. Flushing operations

After disassembling and assembling the


equipment, or changing the oil, use flushing
oil to remove the contaminants, sludge, and
old oil from the hydraulic circuit. Normally,
flushing is carried out twice: primary flushing
is carried out with flushing oil, and secondary
flushing is carried out with the specified hy-
draulic oil.

Fig.6-3

6. Cleaning operations

After repairing the hydraulic equipment


(pump, control valve, etc.) or when running
the machine, carry out oil cleaning to remove
the sludge or contaminants in the hydraulic oil
circuit. The oil cleaning equipment is used to
remove the ultra fine (about 3μ) particles that
the filter built into the hydraulic equipment
cannot remove, so it is an extremely effective

6.3 Measures Taken When Failure Occurs


6.3.1 Failure-like phenomena

Note that the following phenomena are not


machine failures:
• The arm speed may drop suddenly when
retracting the arm with the work equipment
lowering unloaded and the arm in a nearly
vertical position.
• When the bucket tips are nearly parallel to
the ground, the bucket speed may drop
suddenly.
• The brake valve produces noise when start-
ing or stopping swinging operation.
• The travel motor produces noise when the Fig.6-5
machine travels downhill at low speed.

towing the machine are strong enough, A

which may otherwise result in accidents.


B
• While towing the machine, do not use wire
cables with broken wires (A), reduced di-
C
ameter (B) or knot (C) in order to prevent
rupture of the wire cables.
• Always wear protective gloves when han- CZ335-1102063

dling wire cables.


Fig.6-7
• Never tow the machine on a slope.
• Never stand between the towing machine
and faulty machine when performing tow-
ing operation.
• Operate the machine slowly and avoid im-
posing sudden load on wire cable.

NOTE:
The towing operation must be performed with-
in the maximum towing capacity.
CZ335-1103216
• If the machine is trapped in mud and cannot
move out of the mud with its own force, or Fig.6-8
the towing force of excavator is occupied by
heavy object, wire cables can be used as
shown in the right illustration.
• Place wood blocks or other protective mate-
rials between where the wire cable contacts
the machine in order to prevent friction be-
tween the wire cable and the machine.
• Keep the wire cable parallel to the ground
and align its direction with that of the track
frame.

6.4.2 Coolant temperature high

WARNING
• Never remove the radiator cap when the
coolant is still hot. Hot water or steam may
squirt and cause burns.
• Wait the coolant to cool down before re-
moving the radiator cap.

CAUTION
• Do not stop the engine immediately. Sud-
den rise of coolant temperature can cause
engine parts to burn.
• Refill the coolant slowly in several times.
Quick filling of low-temperature coolant
can cause engine cracks.

When the coolant temperature gauge shows


a temperature higher than 100°C, the coolant
temperature alert indicator will be on. Stop op-
erating your machine and keep engine run-
ning at a speed a little higher than idle in order

Troubleshooting SY305C LC (Stage Ⅴ)Hydraulic Excavator

to reduce temperature. When the pointer of


coolant temperature gauge returns to the mid-
dle position, the alert indicator is off. Now,
stop the engine and perform the following
steps.

Check radiator hoses for coolant leak.

Check V - belt for rupture. Check the belt


tension. 1

Check coolant level. Refill coolant if


necessary.

• Remove the radiator cap (1) and refill cool-


ant to the opening. Tighten the cap
properly.

6.4.3 Engine oil pressure low

• When the engine is just started, the oil pres-


sure gauge indicates high pressure before
the engine is preheated. Check oil pressure
after the engine is fully preheated.
• When engine oil pressure is abnormal,
which is shown on the monitor, stop operat-
ing your machine, shut down the engine im-
mediately, and proceed as the following.

after refilling the fuel, purge the air through
the following steps.

Operation & Maintenance Manual-May-2020 6-19


Troubleshooting SY305C LC (Stage Ⅴ)Hydraulic Excavator

WARNING
• Never use a lighter, smoke, or use other
fire sources when purging the air. A fire
source can cause fire.
• Completely remove engine oil or fuel
splashed onto the exhaust pipe and other
places. These oil and fuel can cause fire or
slipping accident.
• The space for air-purging operation is lim-
ited. Take care not to be cut by the edges

1. Turn the handle (1) of hand pump counter-


clockwise to unlock it.

no foam is seen in the vent.

Fig.6-16

4. Screw on the vent plug (2) when no foam is Fig.6-17


observed.

5. Keep pumping the fuel until high resistance


is felt.

With the fuel temperature is low, the pressure


of hand pump may not grow. It is important to
operate the hand pump many a time continu-
ously .

6. After eliminating the air, completely remove


the splashed fuel before starting the engine.

6.4.5 When engine rotates reversely

WARNING
• Reverse rotation of engine can burn the
engine within several minutes or cause se-
vere injury. Shut down the engine immedi-
ately once reverse rotation is found. The
exhaust gas from air cleaner is possible to
cause fire.

The following symptoms can be used to iden-


tify reverse rotation of engine.
• High colliding sound produced after
starting.
• Heavy smoke coming out air cleaner.
• Tachometer and oil pressure gauge giving
no response.
• Low oil pressure alert indicator on.

WARNING
• Remove the battery from the machine be-
fore charging it.
• Stop the engine and turn the key switch to
the OFF position when checking or han-
dling the battery.
• Wear goggles and rubber gloves when
handling the battery.
• A loose terminal can result in improper
contact, which may cause sparks and
explosion.

6.6.2 Battery removal and installation

• Disconnect the grounding cable (generally


the one in connection with the negative ter-
2
minal (-)) before removing the battery. 1

• Sparks can occur if your tool touches the


positive terminal and the chassis.
• Secure the battery with clamping plates
when changing the battery. 1

• Always disconnect the ground cable (nega-

6.6.3 Battery charging

Improper handling can result in explosion


when charging the battery. Follow the instruc-
tions below:

6-28 Operation & Maintenance Manual-May-2020


SY305C LC (Stage Ⅴ)Hydraulic Excavator Troubleshooting

Improper handling can result in explosion


when charging the battery. Follow the instruc-
tions below:
• Regulate the charger to the voltage applica-
ble to the battery. Incorrect voltage can over
heat the charger and cause explosion.
• Connect the charger's positive clip (+) to
the battery's positive terminal (+). Connect
the charger's negative clip (-) to the bat-
tery's negative terminal (-). The wire clips CZ335-1103220
must be fixed.
Fig.6-20
• Regulate the charging current to 1/10 of the
rated capacity of battery. In case of quick
charging, regulate the charging current to a
level below the rated capacity of battery.
Larger charging current may cause leakage
or evaporation of electrolyte, hence fire and
explosion.
• If the battery electrolyte freezes, do not
charge the battery, or use an alternate
power supply to start the engine. Charging
a frozen battery may cause electrolyte to
catch on fire and the battery to explode.

8.Optional Equipment

8.1 Safety Information


8.1.1 foreword

Observe the following precautions when selecting, installing and operating attachments or optional
equipment of the machine.

8.1.2 Optional equipment selection

• Please consult Sany dealer before installing any optional equipment to your machine. You may
need to install front guard, top guard or other protective structures to your machine according to
the type of attachment or other optional equipment selected.
• You are only allowed to install Sany-approved optional equipment. Sany assumes no responsi-
bility to accidents, loss or failures caused by any optional equipment not approved by Sany.

8.1.3 Read equipment instruction

• Make sure you have read and understand the instruction manuals of your machine as well as
the optional equipment before installing and operating any optional equipment.
• If the instruction manual of the machine and/or the optional equipment is lost, please contact the
maker of the optional equipment or Sany dealer to obtain a new one.

8.1.4 Optional equipment removal and installation precautions

The following items must be observed in order to ensure safety when removing or installing the op-
tional equipment.
• The removal or installation operation shall be performed on a hard, level ground.
• When the job is shared by two or more persons, a commander is to be assigned and his/her in-
struction must be followed.
• Crane shall be used when handling heavy object above 25 kg. (Only eligible, experienced per-
sonnel with official license are allowed to operate the crane.)
• Never stand under any lifted objects by the crane.
• Do not operate your machine when an object is being lifted with crane during removal or installa-
tion. Support can be used to prevent falling from the object when necessary.
• When a heavy part is to be removed, it is necessary to consider the impact to machine balance
after removal. To prevent the machine from tipping over, support your machine, if necessary, be-
fore removing the heavy component.
• Before or after the optional equipment has been installed or removed, make sure that it is stable
without the danger to tip.
• For more information about removal and installation please consult Sany dealer.

Operation & Maintenance Manual-May-2020 8-5


Optional Equipment SY305C LC (Stage Ⅴ)Hydraulic Excavator

8.1.5 Optional equipment operation precautions

Keep the following procedures in mind when installing a larger or heavy optional equipment. Prior
to the operation, move your machine to a safe ground for trial operation. Make sure that you know
very well the movement, center of gravity, and working range of your machine.
• If the machine stays inclined, swinging operation is not allowed in order to prevent tipping of the
machine.
• Keep a safe distance to surrounding barriers during operation.
• Pay attention to the following points when installing a heavy optional equipment.

– Heavy optional equipment probably requires a larger space for swinging operation. There
might be the danger of impacting other objects if the swinging range has not been calculated
accurately. A larger space must be prepared before performing the swinging operation.

– When the lifting of heavy optional equipment is held, the distance moving downward is rela-
tively longer due to gravity. In this case, it should be lowered to the ground instead of being
held in air.

– Never swing, lower or stop your machine suddenly in order to prevent it from tipping over.

– Never extend or retract the boom cylinder suddenly in order to prevent impact that may
cause the machine to tip.

ute to longer swing radius when operation the
bucket of other attachments. As a result, the
work equipment may interfere with the cab or
boom of the machine.

If a quick coupler has been installed, retract


the bucket fully (bucket cylinder fully ex-
tended) before retracting the arm. To avoid in-
terference with the boom, never retract the
arm fully (arm cylinder fully extended) before
CZ335-1105037
retracting the bucket.
