3.1 Engine
3.1.1.1 Schematic
Fig. 64 : Solenoid ether valve Y128 Fig. 65 : Batteries G1, G2, G3 and G4
3.1.1.3 Function
• Start
When turning the key in contact position, it is necessary that the emergency stops are not switched in
order to have the current Kl 15.
The current kl15 issued from the fuse F137 supplies the “key switch input” of the QUANTUM U18 (the
switch QUANTUM S9.1 must be closed). The engine is ready to start.
To start the engine, turn the key in position 3.
If the hydraulic valve is opened (contacts in B73 and B74 are closed), the current Kl50 supplied the
first relay start prelub U27 via the time lag relay TS2 (0 – 10 sec.) in A1008_2. The prelub procedure
begins. The prelub system establishes the correct lub oil pressure in the engine.
The relay U27 is actuated and allows to the prelub motor M14 to be supplied. When the pressure in
the engine has reached the prescribed value, the pressure switch B87 is switched and send a signal
to the relay U27. The prelub motor M14 is no more supplied. After 3 seconds, the prelub relay U27
actuates the relays K16_1 and K16_2, so the starter motors M1 and M2 are supplied and are both
running.
As soon as the engine is running, it drives the alternator G5. The charging current Kl61 actuates the
relay BO2 on the printplate A1008_2 and so the relay TS2. The current Kl50 can no longer supply the
relay U27. No additional lubrication and starting procedures can be triggered.
• Cold start
A cold start system is standard equipment, which makes it easier to start the engine at low
temperatures. If the engine does not start, or at the beginning of a starting procedure, use this
procedure to spray starter fluid (ether) into the intake manifold.
To use the cold start, press the switch S36. It actuates the relay ST2 on the printplate A1008_2. The
current “kl50 / start” coming from U27, which also supplies the starter motors M1 and M2, actuates the
relay BO3 which engages the ether solenoid valve Y128 for engine cold starting.
As soon as the engine is running, it drives the alternator G5. It actuates the relay BO2 and so the relay
TS2 on the printplate A1008_2. The current Kl50 can no longer supply the relay U27. No additional
lubrication and starting procedures can be triggered and the cold starting stops.
• Stop
To stop the engine of the hydraulic excavator, reduce the engines RPM to low idle via the arrow key
S70, and continue to run the engine for 3-5 minutes to lower the temperature. Then turn the ignition
key to turn the engine off. The current kl15 issued from the fuse F137 no longer supplies the “key
switch input” of the QUANTUM U18. The engine shuts down.
3.1.2.1 Schematic
Fig. 70 Fig. 71
3.1.2.3 Function
The LED indicator displays the engine RPM. It divides the complete RPM range into 10 stages.
The engine RPM can be set either using the arrow keys S228 and S229, or the mode key S86.
For the use, see the Operation and Maintenance Manual.
• Mode automatic
The signal goes from the keyboard S2 to the interface plate A1016. The signal is then sent to the
regulation plate A1019.
This signal is a current of 24V, which frequency varies between 160 and 370 Hz (1Hz corresponds to
5 RPM).
The signal is then sent to the QUANTUM U18 threw the wire “Vehicle speed VSS+” and the
QUANTUM U18 adjusts the RPM.
• Mode manual
If the engine can not be started, monitored or operated safely, due to a functional problem in the
electronic control of the excavator, the engine operation can be continued by using the manual mode.
The RPM control becomes manual by pushing the button S23. The relay K6 of the plate A1019 is
actuated and the wire “Remote throttle select” coming from the QUANTUM U18 is connected to the
ground X300.
To adjust the RPM value, the QUANTUM will now take the signal coming from the throttle R6 threw
the wire “Remote throttle signal”.
The throttle R6 transforms the signal (+5V) coming from the QUANTUM U18 (wire “Remote throttle
supply”) into a signal, which varies between 0,8V and 2,5V depending on the position of the throttle
R6.
The engine CUMMINS QSK 45 mounted on the excavator R 9350 / R 994B is equipped with the
Electronic Control Module QUANTUM. This system analyses the data provided by the sensors
mounted on the engine. All the troubles appearing on the engine are centrally indicated on the control
board (see OMM 3.10). This system also controls the engine speed and the fuel pressure in order to
optimise the exhaust emissions.
The option CENSE can be installed. It provides more information thanks to several sensors.
This option allows a better control of the engine.
As the engine cooling system is specific to LIEBHERR France, the sensors concerning the coolant
level and the coolant temperature are mounted by LIEBHERR France.
The excavatoR 9350 / R 994B is equipped with several sensors (pressure, temperature, clogging),
which allow to supervise several parameters. When a parameter is not in its normal range, a symbol
appears on the display and an error code is stored in the display.
This system allows to detect the eventual troubles and to prevent any damages to the excavator. The
details of the connection between sensors and the display, the symbols and the error codes are
described in the chapter “display”.

The emergency stops are used to stop the engine instantaneously during operation or to prevent the
engine to be started. The five emergency stops are mounted in line.
In normal conditions, the emergency stops are not locked. The key of the starting switch S1 turning on
the position 1 allows the current to supply the engine via S100-1, S100-2, S100-3, S100-4 and S100-
5.
If one of the emergency stops is pushed, the engine is no longer supplied and shut down. In the same
time, the relay timer KT10 is actuated and supplies the shut off valve Y13. The opening of this valve
depressurise the hydraulic tank in order to prevent any injuries due to leaks from a hose and
mechanical damages. This valve is automatically closed again after 10 minutes.
In addition a fire alarm can be installed. The relay K139 is then mounted in line with the emergency
stops. When a fire is detected, the relay K139 is actuated and prevents the engine to be supplied
during one hour. In the same time, the relay timer KT10 is actuated and supplies the shut off valve
Y13. After the fire system has been actuated, the operator must wait 1 hour before attempting to
restart.
For a pontoon excavator, an additional emergency stop has to be mounted. Its function is the same as
the other emergency stops.

4.3 Function
4.3.1 Batteries
The excavatoR 9350 / R 994B is equipped with 6 batteries: 4 principal batteries and 2 service
batteries.
The four principal batteries G1, G2, G3 and G4 supply:
- The starter motors M1 and M2
- The principal circuit kl30 in E1003
The two service batteries G6 and G7 supply:
- The motor M10 for ladder and service trap depending on fuse F139
- Service lighting depending on fuse F138: access ladder, engine, control valve (see §
lighting).
- Control board depending on fuse F138
When the batteries are discharged, it is possible to supply the electrical circuits of the excavator with
external sources (24V) thanks to the connectors X60-1 and X60-2.
4.3.2 Alternator
The engine thanks to a belt drives the alternator G5.
As soon as the alternator runs, it sends a current via its pole B+. This current charges the principal
batteries (G1, G2, G3, and G4) and supplies the principal circuit via the fuses F21_1 and F21_2 and
via the connector X354.
In the same time, the alternator sends a current via its pole D+. The relay B02 in the plate A1008_2 is
then actuated. It allows the current kl15 to actuate the relay K11. The current Kl30 issued from the
connector X354 can then supply the service circuit and charge the service batteries.
4.3.3 Ground
The electrical system of the hydraulic excavatoR 9350 / R 994B is an important part. So for more
safety the ground of every electrical circuits have been regrouped on the rotating deck.
To protect the electrical systems, you can isolate electrically every circuit. The switch S9_1 permits to
isolate the batteries and the switch S9_2 permits to isolate the QUANTUM and so the engine. This
operation allows to repair the hydraulic excavator in safety conditions.

4.4.6.1 Definition
A BUS is a wiring system connecting several terminals in the same way. The CAN (Controller Area
Network) protocol is associated with a chip (5 x 5 mm) which is fast (100 KBD to 1 Mbd) and can be
used in severe conditions (vibrations, variable temperatures, …) as it is the case with the LIEBHERR’s
hydraulic excavators.
4.4.6.2 Principle
The BUS is used to transmit, via a two cables system, numerical information between terminals.
Several terminals can send out a message at the same time: there is no “master/slave” relationship.
The messages are processed using an established priority order.
Fig. 201
When a message is send, all terminals receive it but only the concerned terminal takes the message
into account and processes it.
The high data transfer rate produces some signal distortion corrected at reception by the CAN
processor. This processor allows each terminal to control the messages on the bus stopping those
containing an error and sending an acknowledgement message when the message is correct. This
system enables the detection of faulty terminals and minimises the perturbation generated by them to
the detriment of the other terminal transmissions.
4.4.7.1 Function
The BBT (Baggerbedientastatur in German, see Fig. 94, Fig. 96, Fig. 97 and Fig. 102) is the
information dealer between the BST and the display. The BBT allows the modification of the diesel
motor states, the hydraulic pumps, the washer and the viper, the heating, the lighting, the orientation
and the translation brakes.
An essential function of the BBT is that the BST error signals and the error messages from the
sensors are stored and can be transmitted on a laptop. The error messages from the sensors are
stored at the time when the incident occurred during the working time, the duration of the error and its
frequency.

5 Components
5.1 Alternator
• Niehoff, model C653 A2-211 including A6-141 fan guard
• Specifications
Peak drive requirements at 13,3 kW / 17,9 HP at 8000 RPM and a 314 Ampere load
22°C / 72°F machine temperature at 28 Volts
These terms are used to bring attention to presence of hazards of various risk levels or to important
information concerning product life.
CAUTION indicates presence of hazards that will or can cause minor personal injury or property
damage.
NOTICE indicates special instructions on installation, operation or maintenance that are important but
not related to personal injury hazards.
NOTICE Until temperatures of electrical systern components stabilize, these conditions may be
observed during cold start voltage tests.
• Maintenance/low maintenance battery:
- Immediately after engine starts, system volts are lower than regulator setpoint with medium amps.
- 3-5 minutes into charge cycle, higher system volts and reduced amps.
- 5-10 minutes into charge cycle, system volts are at, or nearly at, regulator setpoint, and amps are
reduced to a minimum.
- Low maintenance battery has same characteristics with slightly longer recharge times.
• Maintenance-free battery:
- Immediately after engine start, system volts are lower than regulator setpoint with low amps.
- 15-30 minutes into charge cycle, still low volts and low amps.
- 15-30 minutes into charge cycle, volts increase several tenths. Amps increase gradually, then
quickly to medium to high amps.
- 20-35 minutes into charge cycle, volts increase to setpoint and amps decrease.
• High-cycle maintenance-free battery:
- These batteries respond better than standard maintenance-free. Charge acceptance of these
batteries may display characteristics similar to maintenance batteries.
The volt and amp levels are a function of the battery state of charge. lf batteries are in a state of
discharge, as after extended cranking time to start the engine, the system volts, when measured after
the engine is started will be lower than the regulator set point and the system amps will be high. This
is a normal condition for the charging system. The measured values of system volts and amps will
depend on the level of battery discharge. In other words, the greater the battery discharge level the
lower the system volts and higher the system amps will be. The volt and amp readings will change,
system volts reading will increase up to regulator set point and the system amps will decrease to low
level (depending on other loads) as the batteries recover and become fully charged.
• Low Amps: A minimum or lowest charging system amp value required to maintain battery state of
charge, obtained when testing the charging system with a fully charged battery and no other loads
applied. This value will vary with battery type.
• Medium Amps: A system arnps value which can cause the battery temperature to rise above the
adequate charging temperature within 4-8 hours of charge time. To prevent battery damage the
charge amps should be reduced when battery temperature rises. Check battery manufacturer's
recommendations for proper rates of charge amps.
• High Amps: A system amps value which can cause the battery temperature to rise above
adequate charging temperature within 2-3 hours. To prevent battery damage the charge amps
should be reduced when the battery temperature rises. Check battery manufacturer's
recommendations for proper rates of charge amps.
• Battery Voltage: Steady-state voltage value as measured with battery in open circuit with no
battery load. This value relates to battery state of charge.
• Charge Voltage: A voltage value obtained when the charging system is operating. This value will
be higher than battery voltage and must never exceed the regulator voltage set point.
• B+ Voltage: A voltage value obtained when measuring voltage at battery positive terminal or
alternator B+ terminal.
• Surface Charge: A higher than normal battery voltage occurring when the battery is removed
from a battery charger. The surface charge must be removed to determine true battery voltage
and state of charge.
• Significant Magnetism: A change in the strength or intensity of a magnetic field present in the
alternator rotor shaft when the field coil is energized. The magnetic field strength when the field
coll is energized should feel stronger than when the field is not energized.
• Voltage Droop or Sag: A normal condition which occurs when the load demand on the alternator
is greater than rated alternator output at given rotor shaft RPM.
C653A alternator is self-rectifying. All windings and current-transmitting components are non-moving,
so there are no brushes or slip rings to wear out.
Controlled by the A2-211 regulator, this alternator is externally energized through the E terminal,
connected to a switched power source to turn on regulator. See wiring diagram on this page.
A2-211 reguator has:
• D+ terminal to provide signal to vehicle electrical system, confirming alternator operation.
• R terminal to provide an optional AC voltage tap.
• Overvoltage cutout (OVCO). Regulators with OVCO (overvoltage cutout) will trip at vehicle
electrical system voltages above 33 volts that exist longer than 3 seconds. OVCO feature detects
high voltage and reacts by signaling relay in F+ alternator circuit to open. This turns off alternator.
Restarting engine resets OVCO circuit. Regulator regains control of alternator output voltage.

SYMPTOM ACTION
5.1.6.3 BasicTroubleshooting
• Inspect charging system components for damage
Check connections at B- cable, B+ cable, and alternator-to-regulator harness. Repair or replace any
damaged component before troubleshooting.
• Inspect all vehicle battery connections
Connections must be clean and tight.
• Determine batteries voltages and states of charge
If batteries are discharged, recharge or replace batteries as necessary. Electrical system cannot be
properly tested unless batteries are charged 95% or higher. In addition, open circuit voltages must be
within ± 0.2 V.
• Connect meters to alternator
Connect red lead of DMM to alternator B+ terminal and black lead to alternator B- terminal. Clamp
inductive ammeter on B+ cable.
• Operate vehicle
Observe charge voltage.
lf charge voltage is above 33 volts, immediately shut down system.
CAUTION Electrical system damage may occur if charging system is allowed to operate at high
voltage.
If voltage is at or below regulator setpoint, let charging system operate for several minutes to
normalize operating temperature.
• Observe charge volts and amps
Charge voltage should increase and charge amps should decrease. lf charge voltage does not
increase within ten minutes, continue to next step.
• Batteries are considered fully charged if charge voltage is at regulator setpoint and charge amps
remain at lowest value for 1 0 minutes.
• lf charging system is not performing properly, go to second chart (test OVCO circuit) on the last
page.
• Check OVCO circuit
Shut down vehicle and restart engine. If alternator functions normally after restart, a "no output
condition" was a normal response of voltage regulator to "high voltage" condition. Inspect condition of
electrical system, including loose battery cables, both positive and negative. If battery disconnects
from system, it could cause "high voltage" condition in electrical system, causing OVCO circuit to trip.
lf you have reset alternator once, and electrical system returns to normal charge voltage condition,
there may have been a one time, high voltage spike, causing OVCO circuit to trip.
If OVCO circuit repeats cutout a second time in short succession and shuts off alternator F+ circuit, try
third restart. If OVCO circuit repeats cutout, go to second chart (test OVCO circuit) on the last page.

5.2 Batteries
Important: before repair on the electrical system, or before using an arc welder on the machine, the
negative battery terminal should be disconnected first and reconnected last.
In order for the batteries to function properly, it is important to keep them clean at all time.
The battery poles and cable clamps in particular should be cleaned regularly and then coated with
acid resistant grease.
To check the electrolyte level, open battery compartment door, lift up rubber cover and remove caps.
The electrolyte level should be ½” (10-15 mm) above the plates. If the electrolyte level is low, add
distilled water.
Regularly check the specific gravity with hydrometer. A fully charged battery should have a value of
1.28 kg/l (31,5°). Batteries with a lower value should be recharged. Reinstall caps, check if battery is
mounted securely and close the battery compartment door.
Danger
Wear protective gloves and safety glasses when handling batteries!
Keep sparks and open flame away from battery. Battery fumes are highly flammable and explosive.
Batteries contain acid, which should not be touched. In case of contact, flush with water and get
medical attention.
