PICTURE CT45 STRUCTURE
This machine comprises working system, upper dial and chassis travel system. Working system and upper dial is
connected by turning connector; while upper dial and chassis travel system is connected by rotating bearing
Power installation is a 4 cylinder water cooled diesel engine. It drives a hydraulic pump.
Every action of the excavator is under hydraulic pilot control. The working speed could be adjusted with stepless
shift. The two pilot valves besides the driver's chair control the turning around of the working system and revolving dial.
When a pilot handle lies between two positions，pushing control piston cup could achieve multiple action of the two
parts.
The hydraulic oil which goes through lift arm, arm or bucket cylinder could control the bucket and arm’s action. It
also could control the lift arm and arm’s raising and falling. It could control the working system’s location and pose.
The hydraulic oil which goes through multiple valve and rotary motor could make the motor turning either in
44
forward direction or in reverse direction. The motor drives the turning speed reducer to implement the revolving dial’s
360ºturning.
The turning speed reducer is multistage planetary shift. The output shaft of the speed reducer has a gear wheel
which is in gear with annular gear of rotating bearing。The annular gear and outer ring of the rotating bearingare
respectively connected with revolving dial and chassis. The output shaft of the speed reducer make annular gear and
outer ring do relative motion, which leads to the turning around of the revolving dial.
The turning motor is equipped with a valve which supplies oil could prevent air pocket emerging. And it’s also
equipped with mechanical braking system.
The hydraulic oil which goes through multiple valve to left and right travelling motor makes the motor turning in
forward or reverse direction. Then the multistage planetary shift speed reducer drives the two pedrails and makes the
excavator move, reverse and turning. The motor is equipped with balance valve to make sure the machine is not
overspeed.
There is big room and good visual field in the cabin. It could be overturned 30ºand easy for maintenance. There is a
handle of safety mechanism for the pilot control system on the left side of the cabin. Before the driver left his chair,
pull up the handle to cut oil source of all the pilot valves.
The travelling speed of this machine is fast to transfer field. But if there is a long distance to go, it could also be
transported by truck.
Warm air blower is optional.

5.3.5 COOLANT
Coolant is mixture of water, antifreeze and antiseptic. When temperature below 0℃, antifreeze is
necessary for coolant according to antifreeze manufacturer’s guidance.
Coolant water should be soft water, tap water or bottled water.
If you can not make sure if it is soft water, you can wash your hand with it. If it is soft water, there will be bubble.
Antifreeze feature of coolant: -20℃ for temperate zone; -30℃ for frigid zone.
Before winter, must examine concentration of coolant and test its antifreezing ability.
In torrid zone with temperature above +35℃, too hot engine will reduce coolant conductibility. In this case, coolant
should be water; meanwhile add aseptic to avoid erosion and lime deposit.
Aseptic for water is 0.101L.
Attention please!
1 when coolant has consists of antifreeze, aseptic is unnecessary. Coolant with -20℃ antifreezing ability is 5.7L.
2 when working temperature below -20℃, antifreeze proportion should be increased.
3 do not pour water and antifreeze into radiator before their complete mixture in another vessel.
4 be careful that antifreeze is poisonous.
5 when antifreeze into eye, must clean eye with pure water firstly, then sending the sick to hospital.
6 storage of antifreeze and coolant should accord to all product instructions.
