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.

1. To ensure the safety of this machine during usage, the user must adhere to replace the parts listed in the above table
regularly due to the importance of these parts in the security and fire prevention.
2. The materials of these parts will degenerate along with the passage of time, corrode, or more easy to wear. 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 safety and their
performance.
3. If the parts fail to work even though not within the time schedule 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. Replace the O-ring, seals and other parts like these at the same time when replacing the hose.

● When the ground is too soft or the ground is
not level, the truck can not be used.

towing ropes or the towing bar overload. This
could cause the towing ropes or the towing
bar to break. A smooth machine movement
helps towing operation easier.
8. Normally, the towing machine should be as
large as the disabled machine. The towing
machine must have enough brake capacity,
enough weight, and enough power for the
grade and for the distance that is involved.
9. During towing, all personnel should keep
from the both sides of the towing ropes so as
to avoid injury caused by break.
10. It may be necessary to connect a large
machine or additional machine to the
disabled machine in order to provide
sufficient control and sufficient brake. This
will prevent the disabled machine from rolling
away on a downgrade.
11. When towing the disabled machine downhill,
to get enough control and brake ability, it is
necessary to connect a larger truck or
additional machine on the back to avoid a
rolling accident.
It is impossible to list all the requirements for all
different situations. Refer to liugong dealer for
more information of towing the disabled
machine.

Towing with a Running Engine

If the engine is running, the machine can be


towed for a short distance under certain
conditions. The power train and the steering
system must be operable. Tow the machine for a
short distance only. For example, pull the
machine out of mud or to the side of the road.
The operator on the towed machine must turn
the machine in the direction of the towing ropes.
Carefully obey all of the instructions that are
outlined in this topic.

. CAUTION: Do not mix oils of different brands even if they have the same specifications.
Clean the system before refilling the different oil.

If the machine is used at low temperature in severe cold areas for a long time, HM-36 low

Replace the lubricant periodically even though the lubricant is very clean because the lubricant
might go bad after a long time use.

● When welding near the earth point of an
electrical appliance, always disconnect the
ground cable before welding and make sure
the welding circuit does not pass through the
appliance so as to prevent damage to the

● Never weld on or cut containers or tanks
which contain or may have contained
