What's in it

The structure and function chapter covers the hydraulic pumps, control valve, swing and travel motors and cylinders. The electrical system and sensors follow. Testing, adjusting and troubleshooting gives you the pressures and checks for slow or weak functions. Disassembly and assembly comes next, then the maintenance standards and wear limits.

These 16 to 18-tonne excavators are common in general construction and plant hire. Owners and mechanics will use the book for hydraulic faults, swing and travel problems, and pin, bushing and undercarriage wear.

Good to know

Most people use a book like this one section at a time. Look up the system that's giving trouble, read how it's meant to work, test it against the standard values, and only then order parts. That order saves money, because a reading that's close to spec usually points somewhere other than the part you suspected first. You can print the pages for the job and keep the PDF on a tablet for everything else. A tip from shops that use these books every day: read the structure and function pages for a system before you start testing it. Knowing how the valves and circuits are meant to work makes the test results much easier to read. The standard values then tell you whether a reading is normal, borderline or out of spec, and the wear limits decide whether a part goes back in.

Before you buy

Check the model plate and serial. There are three models in this book, and the NLC is the narrow-gauge one.
