Service Information Document Title: Function Group: Information Type: Date: Description, general 000 Service Information 2014/4/7 0 Profile: CEX, ECR38 [GB] Description, general The ECR38 is a Compact excavator with caterpillar drive The engine is a water-cooled Volvo diesel engine with direct injection of the D1.6C/D1.6A type. 3-cylinder low emission engine with automatic idle shut-off. The drive movement takes place via two tracks. Each track is driven by an axial piston engine with two speeds and a planetary gear. The hydraulic system is a hydraulic load-sensing system which guarantees complete independence of the individual movements. The superstructure swivel movement is guaranteed by a hydraulic radial piston motor which directly (i.e. without reduction gear) drives a ball-mounted swing ring gear with internal toothing and remote lubrication. The undercarriage consists of a centre section in X-form to increase the torsional rigidity and chamfered side members. Figure 1 Compact Excavator ECR38

Service Information Document Title: Function Group: Information Type: Date: Transporting and lifting the machine 050 Service Information 2014/4/7 0 Profile: CEX, ECR38 [GB] Transporting and lifting the machine NOTE! On transport of the machine, the relevant regulations concerning weight, width, height, length and security of load must be observed. A suitable loading ramp must be used. To prevent slipping of the machine, mud, grease, oil etc. must be removed from the ramp and trailer. After loading, block both tracks and secure the machine with chains or straps designed for a corresponding load. Charging 1. 2. 3. Align machine tracks to the ramp with the dozer blade to the back (to serve as a safety support in the event of incorrect operation). The excavator equipment should face the front (position A). NOTE! If the dozer blade is at the rear (construction rotation through 180°), control of the direction of travel is reversed. Figure 2 Lashing Advance to the end of the ramp, extend the excavator equipment (position B), the machine tips onto the trailer loading surface. Lower excavator equipment and dozer blade onto the loading platform. Secure both tracks with wedges. Lash the machine to the loading platform of the transport vehicle using chains or straps. Unloading 1. 2. 3. Turn excavator equipment and dozer blade through 180°. Slowly advance to the start of the ramp, extend excavator equipment (position B), proceed until the machine tips in the direction of the ramp slope. Slowly drive down until the machine is on the ground again. Lifting WARNING Never lift the machine with a person in the cab.
WARNING Only use lifting devices with adequate capacity. WARNING Never lift the machine in any other way than described below. Figure 3 Lifting NOTE! Only lift the machine as shown. Incorrect lifting can lead to the load shifting, which can cause damage or injury. To lift the machine, use the lashing points provided. The location of the lashing points is shown on the picture. 1. 2. Park the machine on a firm flat surface if possible. Lift the machine with a suitable lifting tool
Service Information Document Title: Function Group: Information Type: Date: Hydraulic cylinders, dieseling 091 Service Information 2014/4/7 0 Profile: CEX, ECR38 [GB] Hydraulic cylinders, dieseling If air enters the hydraulic cylinders during work on the hydraulic system, this can lead to spontaneous ignition, an effect known as dieseling. This occurs if a favourable mixture of air and hydraulic oil is compressed when the piston approaches its end position in the cylinder. A sufficiently high temperature can be reached for the mixture to spontaneously ignite. NOTICE The dieseling effect may result in burnt piston seals and bushings. In order to prevent dieseling, the lines for the hydraulic cylinders must be bled after work is completed, as follows: Operate the digging equipment several times with no load and full cylinder strokes. Position the dipper arm and bucket cylinders so that any air collects at the cylinder's outlet side, that is, it should be the highest point. The piston should be at the opposite end of the cylinder. Wait approx. 1 minute from the time that the cylinder has reached its position before running the piston towards the outlet side. Repeat 3 to 5 times. The boom cylinders, which cannot be pointed downward, must be run in and out approx. 5 times without bucket load. NOTICE If the cylinders are pressurized either through lifting of the machine or lifting of a load in the bucket, without first performing the mentioned bleeding movements, the seals will likely be damaged. If a cylinder is to be pressure-tested after a repair, the piston rod should be run in and out a few times before increasing the pressure to testing pressure.
