SAFETY
PREVENT BURNS
Hot spraying fluids:
After operation, engine coolant is hot and under
pressure. Hot water or steam is contained in the
engine, radiator and heater lines.
Skin contact with escaping hot water or steam can
cause severe burns.
• To avoid possible injury from hot spraying water.
DO NOT remove the radiator cap until the engine
is cool. When opening, turn the cap slowly to the
stop. Allow all pressure to be released before
removing the cap. SA-039

• The hydraulic oil tank is pressurized. Again, be


sure to release all pressure before removing the
cap.

Hot fluids and surfaces:


Engine oil, gear oil and hydraulic oil also become
hot during operation.
The engine, hoses, lines and other parts become
hot as well.
• Wait for the oil and components to cool before
starting any maintenance or inspection work.

505-E01B-0498 SA-225

REPLACE RUBBER HOSES


PERIODICALLY

Rubber hoses that contain flammable fluids under


pressure may break due to aging, fatigue, and
abrasion. It is very difficult to gauge the extent of
deterioration due to aging, fatigue, and abrasion of
rubber hoses by inspection alone.
• Periodically replace the rubber hoses. (See the
page of “Periodic replacement of parts” in the
operator’s manual.)
Failure to periodically replace rubber hoses may
cause a fire, fluid injection into skin, or the front SA-019

attachment to fall on a person nearby, which may


result in severe burns, gangrene, or otherwise
serious injury or death.

SAFETY
AVOID HIGH-PRESSURE FLUIDS
Fluids such as diesel fuel or hydraulic oil under
pressure can penetrate the skin or eyes causing
serious injury, blindness or death.
• Avoid this hazard by relieving pressure before
disconnecting hydraulic or other lines.
• Tighten all connections before applying pressure.
• Search for leaks with a piece of cardboard; take
care to protect hands and body from
high-pressure fluids. Wear a face shield or SA-031

goggles for eye protection.


• If an accident occurs, see a doctor familiar with
this type of injury immediately. Any fluid injected
into the skin must be surgically removed within a
few hours or gangrene may result.

SAFETY
PREVENT FIRES
Check for Oil Leaks:
Fuel, hydraulic oil and lubricant leaks can lead to
fires.
• Check for oil leaks due to missing or loose
clamps, kinked hoses, lines or hoses that rub
against each other, damage to the oil-cooler, and
loose oil-cooler flange bolts.
• Tighten, repair or replace any missing, loose or
damaged clamps, lines, hoses, oil-cooler and
oil-cooler flange bolts.
• Do not bend or strike high-pressure lines.
• Never install bent or damaged lines, pipes, or SA-019

hoses.

Check for Shorts:


Short circuits can cause fires.

If a fire breaks out, failure to release pressurized air
inside the hydraulic tank will escalate fire, hamper-
ing fire fighting.
• Check the emergency engine stop switch func-
tion every 250 hours:
1) Start the engine and run it at slow Idle.
2) Turn the emergency engine stop switch to the
EMERG. STOP position.
3) Confirm that both engines stop and that
pressurized air inside the hydraulic oil tank is
released (a hissing sound should be heard).
• If any abnormalities are found, be sure to repair
them before operating the machine.

Check Heat Shields:


Damaged or missing heat shields may lead to fires.
• Damaged or missing heat shields must be
repaired or replaced before operating the

OPERATIONAL PERFORMANCE TEST / Introduction
PREPARATION FOR PERFORMANCE
TESTS
Observe the following rules in order to carry out
performance tests accurately and safely.

THE MACHINE
1. Repair any defects and damage found, such as
oil or water leaks, loose bolts, cracks and so on,
before starting to test.

TEST AREA
1. Select a hard and flat surface.
2. Secure enough space to allow the machine to
run straight more than 20 m (65 ft 7 in), and to
make a full swing with the front attachment ex-
tended.
3. If required, rope off the test area and provide
signboards to keep unauthorized personnel
away.

PRECAUTIONS
1. Before starting to test, agree upon the signals to
be employed for communication among cowork-
ers. Once the test is started, be sure to commu-
nicate with each other using these signals, and to
follow them without fail.
2. Operate the machine carefully and always give
first priority to safety.
3. While testing, always take care to avoid acci-
dents due to landslides or contact with
high-voltage power lines. Always confirm that
there is sufficient space for full swings.
4. Avoid polluting the machine and the ground with T105-06-01-003

leaking oil. Use oil pans to catch escaping oil.


Pay special attention to this when removing hy-
draulic pipings.

MAKE PRECISE MEASUREMENT


1. Accurately calibrate test instruments in advance
to obtain correct data.
2. Carry out tests under the exact test conditions
prescribed for each test item.
3. Repeat the same test and confirm that the test
data obtained can be produced repeatedly. Use
mean values of measurements if necessary.

ENGINE SPEED
Summary
1. Measure the engine speed using the built-in di- 2
agnosing system or Dr. ZX. If the built-in diag-
nosing system or Dr. ZX is not available, use an 1
engine speed meter or a pulse counter. (Refer to
the TROUBLESHOOTING / General group.)
2. Measure the engine speeds in each mode.

NOTE: Measure the engine speed before per-


forming all other tests to check that the
engine speed meets specification. Be-
cause, if the engine speed is not adjusted
correctly, all other performance data will be
unreliable. T107-06-02-002

Preparation: 3
1. Select the monitor function of the built-in diag-
nosing system (In case of Dr. ZX, connect it first).
When using an engine speed meter, install speed
pickup (2) to injection pipe (1).
When using a pulse counter, disconnect the
N-sensor connector.
2. Warm up the machine until the engine coolant
temperature reaches 50 C (122 F) or more, and
hydraulic oil is 50 5 C (122 9 F).

IMPORTANT: Never attempt to the readjust stop-


per (3).

ENGINE COMPRESSION PRESSURE
Summary:
1. Measure compression pressure in the cylinders
to check for a decline in engine power.
2. Check exhaust gas color. Keep track of engine oil
consumption.
3. Check for abnormalities in the intake system, in-
cluding the air filter.

Preparation:
1. Confirm that valve clearances are correct.
2. Confirm that the batteries are charged properly.
3. Run the engine until the coolant temperature
gauge reaches the operating range.
4. Stop the engine. Remove glow plugs from each
cylinder.

NOTE: Unless the fuel delivery pipes are discon-


nected, fuel will ignite in the cylinders so
that pressure in the cylinders will increase.
T105-06-02-001

5. Install an adaptor (Isuzu 5-85317-001-0) and


compression gauge in place of the glow plug in
one cylinder. (Be sure to sufficiently tighten the
adaptor and compression gauge to prevent air
leakage.)

Measurement:
1. Turn the starter to crank the engine. Record the
compression pressure of each cylinder.
2. Repeat measurement three times for each cylin-
der and calculate the mean values.

Evaluation:
Refer to T4-2 Operational Performance Standard.

Remedy
Refer to engine shop manual.

3. Move push rods for the intake and exhaust
valves on the No.1 cylinder up and down by hand.
If any clearances on the both ends of the push
rods are found, piston No.1 is positioned at TDC
in the compression stroke. (If the exhaust valve
of cylinder No.1 is pushed down, piston No.6 is
positioned at TDC in the compression stroke.
Start measurement from the cylinder (No.1 or
No.6) positioned at TDC in the compression
stroke.

NOZZLE CHECK
Summary:
1. Check the injection pressure and the spray pat-
tern with a nozzle tester.
2. Before starting work, clean the nozzle holder
mounting area to avoid contamination in the en-
gine.

Preparation
1. Remove the nozzle holders.
Remove all nozzle holders and fuel injection pip-
ings from the engine.
2. Attach a nozzle holder to the nozzle tester.

Measurement:
CAUTION: Never touch spray directly. The
fuel spray from the nozzle may penetrate the
skin, resulting in serious injury. If fuel pene-
trates into the blood stream, it may cause
blood toxication.

1. Injection pressure
After attaching the nozzle holder to the nozzle
tester, strongly make several strokes of the tester
to inject fuel. Then, while operating the tester at T107-06-02-006
approx. 60 time strokes a minute, measure the
fuel injection pressure.
If adjustment is required, loosen the lock nuts
and adjust the adjusting screws. Turn clockwise
to increase the pressure, and counterclockwise
to decrease the pressure.
2. Spray pattern
For this test, turn the pressure tester knob to by-
pass the pressure gauge. Attach the nozzle
holder to the nozzle tester. Strongly make several
strokes of the tester and check the fuel spray pat-
tern.
3. Oil tight condition
Keep the pressure slightly below the injection
pressure. Check for fuel leak from around the
nozzle tip.

NOTE: Use clean diesel oil.

TROUBLESHOOTING / General
DIAGNOSING PROCEDURE
These six basic steps are essential for efficient
troubleshooting:

1. Study the System


Study the machine’s technical manuals. Know the
system and how it works, and what the
construction, functions and specifications of the
system components are.

2. Ask the operator T107-07-01-001

Before inspecting, get the full story of


malfunctions from your star witness the
operator.

(a) How is the machine being used? (Find out if


the machine is being operated correctly)

(b) When was the trouble noticed, and what


types of work the machine doing at that
time?

(c) What are the details of the trouble? Is the


trouble getting worse, or did it appear
suddenly for the first time?

(d) Did the machine have any other troubles


previously? If so, which parts were repaired
before?

TROUBLESHOOTING / General
3. Inspect the machine
Before starting the troubleshooting procedure,
check the machine’s daily maintenance points, as
shown in the operator's manual.

Also, check the electrical system, including the


batteries, as troubles in the electrical system
such as low battery voltage, loose connections
and blown fuses will result in malfunction of the
controllers, causing total operational failure of the
machine.
If troubleshooting is started without checking for
blown fuses, a wrong diagnosis may result,
wasting time. Be sure to check for blown fuses
before troubleshooting. Even if a fuse looks
normal by visual inspection, a fine crack is
difficult to find. Always use a tester when
checking the fuses. T107-07-01-003

4. Operate the machine yourself


Try to identify the trouble by operating the
machine yourself.
If the trouble cannot be confirmed, stop the
engine and obtain further details of the
malfunction from the operator.
Also, check for any incomplete connections of the
wire harnesses.

T5-1-3

TROUBLESHOOTING / General
5. Perform troubleshooting
CAUTION: Never attempt to disconnect
harnesses or hydraulic lines while the engine
is running. The machine may malfunction or
pressurized oil may spout, possibly resulting
in personal injury. Be sure to stop the engine
before disconnecting harnesses or hydraulic
lines.

Perform diagnosis by connecting Dr. ZX to the


machine or by operating the built-in diagnosing
system. In case any fault code has been dis-
played by diagnosis using Dr. ZX (or the built-in
diagnosing system), delete the fault code once T107-07-01-005

and retry self-diagnosis again. If the fault code is


displayed again, check the cause of the trouble
by referring to Troubleshooting A in this section.
After the machine trouble has been corrected, the
fault code (displayed by the built-in diagnosing
function) will be deleted. Therefore, in case prob-
lems, which are not easily re-predicable are
encountered, use Dr. ZX to display the fault code.
In case no fault codes are displayed, check all re-
lated parts/component operating condition using
the monitor function of Dr. ZX (or the built-in di-
agnosing system) while referring to troubleshoot-
ing B in this section.

Note that the fault codes displayed do not


necessarily indicate machine trouble. The T107-07-01-006
controller stores even temporary electrical
malfunctions, such as a drop in battery output
voltage or disconnections of the switches,
sensors, etc., for inspections.
For this reason, the “RETRIAL” is required to
erase the accumulated fault codes from the
controller memory and to confirm if any fault
codes are indicated after the “RETRIAL”.

6. Trace possible causes


Before reaching a conclusion, check the most
likely causes again. Try to identify the actual
cause of the trouble.
Based on your conclusion, make a plan for T107-07-01-007

appropriate repairs to avoid consequent


malfunctions.

NOTE:
1. Don’t quickly decide that oil is leaking when a stain around the clutch and/or gasket is found. A
slight oil seepage will appear due to the seal construction. However, this oil seepage will not
cause malfunction. Be sure to accurately check whether oil is leaking or seeping only.
2. When gas detector is used in the high sensitivity range, normal gas leaks from rubber hose sur-
face may be detected. As long as the specified rubber hoses are used, the problem should not
occur. (In case a large leaks is detected, the hose may be broken.)
3. After allowing the compressor to idle for 10 to 15 minutes, normal pressure difference between
2
high-pressure side and low-pressure side is 0.49 MPa (5 kgf/cm ) or less. When the clutch is
turned OFF, the pressure difference between high-pressure side and low-pressure side will dis-
appear within about 10 seconds.

PRECAUTIONS FOR INSPECTION AND
MAINTENANCE
1. Disconnect the power source.
Be sure to remove the negative terminals from
the batteries first when taking wire harnesses
and connectors off for repair or replacement work.
Failure to do so can result in damage to the wire
harnesses, fuses, and fusible links and, in some
cases, cause fire due to short circuiting.
2. Color coding of wire harnesses. Code Color Code Color
The color codes of the wire harnesses in the R Red W White
electrical system are shown in the table on the L Blue G Green
right. Or Orange Lg Light
In cases on the design sheet where two colors green
are indicated for one wire, the left initial stands Y Yellow B Black
for the base color, while the right initial stands for Br Brown P Pink
the marking color.
Gr Gray V Violet

NOTE: 1) Code BW indicates a black base wire


with white fine-line marking.
2) Initials “O” and “Or” both stand for the
color orange.
3) Wires with longitudinal stripes printed
on them are not color coded. Be sure
not to confuse them with color coded
wires.

3. Precautions for connecting and disconnecting
terminal connectors.
1) When disconnecting harnesses, grasp them
Right Wrong
by their connectors. Do not pull on the wire
itself. Be sure to release the lock first before
attempting to separate connectors, if a lock
is provided. (Refer to “Instructions for
Disconnecting Connector” on page T5-6-3.)
2) Water-resistant connectors keep water out T107-07-06-001

so that if water enters them, water will not


easily drain from them. When checking
water-resistant connectors, take extra care
not to allow water to enter the connectors. In
case water should enter the connectors,
reconnect only after the connectors are Right
thoroughly dried.
Rust
3) Before connecting terminal connectors,
check that no terminals are bent or coming Wrong
(Deformation)
off. In addition, as most connectors are
made of brass, check that no terminals are Wrong
rusting. (Separation)
4) When connecting terminal connectors T107-07-06-002
provided with a lock, be sure to insert them
together until the lock “clicks.”
5) Pull the harness near the connector to
check if it is correctly connected.

4. Precaution for using a circuit tester.


1) Before using a circuit tester, refer to the
instructions in the circuit tester manual.
Then, set the circuit tester to meet the object
Wind a Piece of Wire Tester Probe
to be measured, voltage range and current
polarity.
2) Before starting the connector test, always
check the connector terminal numbers,
referring to the circuit diagram. Sharpen the end of the Wire
When the connector size is very small, and T107-07-06-003

the standard probe size is too large to be


used for testing, wind a fine piece of
sharpened wire or a pin around the probe to
make the test easier.

HOW TO TROUBLESHOOT ALTERNATOR
MALFUNCTIONS
In general, the alternator indicator remains off when
the alternator is generating power.
If the alternator indicator comes on while the engine is
running, the alternator might be defective.

How to check the circuit

1. Stop the engine. Turn the key switch to the ON


position. Confirm that the alternator indicator
comes on.

2. Measure the voltage between teminals B and E B


terminals of the alternator. If the measured
voltage is around 24 V, the alternator circuit can
be considered normal. If the measured voltage
is low, a shortage in battery capacity or
looseness of the wire connectors of the alternator
circuit might be the cause of the malfunction.
When the voltage is 0 V, the wiring between the
fuse box and alternator might be loose or E
disconnected.
Also, the alternator cannot generate electricity if
the ground line is disconnected.

3. Next, start the engine and measure the voltage T157-07-06-003


generated while as the alternator rotates.
As described above, measure the voltage
between terminals B and E on the side of the
alternator. If the voltage is around 28 V, the
alternator is operating normally.
If the rated voltage is not being generated, there
is some trouble with the alternator or the regula-
tor.
