OPERATION AND
MAINTENANCE MANUAL
Important Safety Information

Most accidents involving product operation, maintenance and repair are caused by failure to observe
safety rules or precautions. An accident can often be avoided by recognizing potentially hazardous
situations before an accident occurs. A person must be alert to potential hazards. This person should
also have the necessary training, skills and tools to perform these functions properly.
Improper operation, lubrication, maintenance or repair on this product can be dangerous and could result
in injury or death.
Do not operate or perform any lubrication, maintenance or repair on this product, until you have read and
understood the operation, lubrication, maintain and repair information.
Safety precautions and warnings are provided in this manual and on the product. If these hazard
warnings are not heeded, bodily injury or death could occur to you or other persons.
The hazards are identified by the "Safety Alert Symbol" and followed by a "Signal Word" such as
"WARNING" as shown following.

The meaning of this safety alert symbol is as follows:


Attention. Be alert. Your safety is involved.
The message that appears under the warning, explaining the hazard, can be either written or pictorially
presented.
Operations that may cause product damage are identified by NOTICE labels on the product and in this
publication.
LiuGong cannot anticipate every possible circumstance that might involve a potential hazard. The
warnings in this publication and on the product are therefore not all inclusive. If a tool, procedure, work
method or operating technique not specifically recommended by LiuGong is used, you must satisfy
yourself that it is safe for you and others. You should also ensure that the product will not be damaged or
made unsafe by the operation, lubrication, maintenance or require procedures you choose.
The information, specification, and illustrations in this publication are on the basis of information
available at the time when it was written. The specification, torques, pressures, measurements,
adjustments, illustrations, and other items can change at any time. These changes can affect the service
given to the product. Obtain the complete and most current information before starting any job. LiuGong
has the most current information available.

CALIFORNIA PROPOSITION 65

Diesel engine exhaust and some of its constituents are known to the state of California to cause cancer,
birth defects and other reproductive harm.

Maintenance Intervals

Use the service hour meter to determine


servicing intervals. Calendar intervals shown
(daily, weekly, monthly, etc) can be used instead
of service hour meter intervals if they provide
more convenient servicing schedules and
approximate the indicated service hour meter
reading. Recommended service should always
be performed at the interval that occurs first.
Under extremely severe, dusty or wet operating
conditions, more frequent lubrication than is
specified in the "Maintenance Intervals" may be
necessary.
Perform service on items at multiples of the
original requirement. For example, at every 500
service hours, also service those items listed
under every 250 service hours, 50 service hours
and every 10 service hours or daily.
All the information, figures, tables and
specifications are the latest product information
obtainable at the time of publication. Guangxi
Liugong Company will reserve the right to make
change without notice.

large as the disabled machine. The towing
machine must have enough brake capacity,
weight, and power for the grade and distance
that is involved.
9. During towing, all personnel should keep
away from the both sides of the towing ropes
so as to prevent injury in case of a break.
10. It may be necessary to connect a large
machine or additional machine to the
disabled machine in order to provide
sufficient control and brake ability. This will
prevent the disabled machine from rolling
away on a downgrade.
11. It is impossible to list all the requirements for
all different situations. Refer to LiuGong
dealer for more information about towing a
disabled machine.

Towing the Machine with a Running Engine

If the engine is running, the machine can be


towed for a short distance under certain
conditions. The power train and the steering
system must be operable. Tow the machine for a
short distance only. For example, pull the
machine out of mud or to the side of the road.
The operator on the towed machine must turn
the machine in the direction of the towing ropes.
Turn the shift control lever to NEUTRAL position,
lift all implements and strictly observe all the

The maintenance intervals stated in this manual are determined according to the service hour meter or
calendar intervals shown (daily, weekly, monthly, etc). Liugong recommends that maintenance should be
performed according to whichever of the above-mentioned intervals occurs first.
Under extremely severe, dusty or wet operating conditions, more frequent lubrication than is specified in
the "Maintenance Intervals" chart may be necessary.
Perform service on items at multiples of the original requirement. For example, at every 500 service
hours or 3 months, also service those items listed under every 250 service hours or monthly, every 50

the circuit, if necessary.

Replacing fuses with the same type and size


from different brands is allowed. Do not use
copper wire, otherwise the circuit could be
damaged.
It is recommeded to use fuse supplied by
LiuGong if it needs to replace the fuse when
repairing. Do not buy the fuse randomly in
the market as fuse of poor quality will bring
bad effect to the machine, even could cause a
fire.

If it is necessary to replace fuses frequently,


an electrical problem may occur. Contact
your LiuGong dealer.

The fuse box is located in the cab, open the


cover to maintain the fuses.
Check and replace the fuse as follows:
1. Turn the start switch to OFF position.
2. Open the fuse box cover. Take off the broken
fuse with a clamp.
3. Replace the broken fuse with a new one with
same specification.
4. Install the fuse box cover.
