Hot hydraulic oil under high pressure can remain in the
components of the hydraulic system or the power train system

after the engine has been stopped. The uncontrolled release of
the hydraulic oil can cause sudden machine movement and can
also result in the following conditions:

Burns

Other personal injury
Death
ntia Inc
If hydraulic oil penetrates body tissue, the injury must be treated
.
immediately by a doctor who is familiar with this type of injury.
lG
Use a board or a piece of cardboard to check for a hydraulic oil
leak. Make sure that all of the attachments have been lowered to
ree
the ground and that all trapped pressure has been released from
the hydraulic system and the power train system. Also, make
n
sure that the hydraulic oil is cool before the removal of any
components or lines. Remove the hydraulic oil filler cap only
when the engine is stopped and the filler cap is cool enough to
touch with your bare hand.
NOTICE
Care must be taken to ensure that fluids are contained during
performance of inspection, maintenance, testing, adjusting, and
repair of the product. Be prepared to collect the fluid with
suitable containers before opening any compartment or
disassembling any component containing fluids.

Note: When removing pins there is the possibility of a sudden release of stored energy, which could result in damage to the electric shovel. Note
the ratchet-lever hoist and safety sling securing the pins have the proper support to release the load and that personnel are out of the line of fire.
Note: Hydraulic hoses must be depressurized before disconnecting from the sleeve. The hydraulic fluid is under high pressure and could spray out
with enough force to penetrate exposes skin.
Note: Ensure that you have constant radio contact with the crane operators when equipment parts are moved with the mobile crane. Many of these
lifts are "blind" and radio communication helps to prevent accidents such as dropped loads, which could cause serious injury or equipment
damage.
Note: When working at heights, use approved fall protection, man, lifts, and stepladders.
Note: Put identification marks on the hose assemblies, the tube assemblies, and the wire harnesses for installation purposes. Plug all open ports,
the hose assemblies, and the tube assemblies to prevent fluid loss and prevent contaminants from entering the system.

1. Park the Shovel straight ahead with the dipper centered between the crawlers.
4. Position dipper (2) with cylinder arrangement (1) fully extended and dipper (2) heeled on the ground.
Note: Ensure that there is sufficient clearance to remove the guide bushings and the crowd position sensor cable (transducer).
Note: Never attempt to remove the hydraulic cylinder and sleeve if the dipper has been detached or removed from the dipper handle.
a. For (S/N: ER6 and ER8) machines refer to Testing and Adjusting Machine Preparation for the correct procedure.
b. For (S/N: R3R and R3F) machines refer to Operation and Maintenance Manual Prepare the Machine for Maintenance for the correct
procedure.

9. Position dipper teeth (10) into the ground to position dipper (9) to rest on top of the load of material. Move the shovel forward until dipper
handle (8) becomes vertical. Avoid boom (7) jacking.
Make sure all attachments have been lowered, oil is cool and the
pressure has been released from the hydraulic system before
removing any components or lines.
10. Attach Tooling (C) (not shown) to the hoses to check the hydraulic system pressure.
Note: This initial position will ensure that the boom is not jacked.

return hoses to zero energy.
16. Connect the auxiliary hydraulic hose to the main tank and transfer the hydraulic oil until the auxiliary tank oil level is at 25 percent.
