What's in it

It starts with safety and the safety labels, then explains the controls, the monitor panel and normal operation, from start-up and travel to digging, parking and shutting down. The maintenance section gives the service schedule, the lubricants and fluid specs, and step-by-step routine jobs such as filter changes, greasing and checking track tension. Specifications and a section on attachments and options finish it.

If you've bought a used machine without its book, this is worth having. It tells you what the monitor warnings mean, which oil grades and capacities to use, and how often each job is due. Missing service intervals is behind many expensive hydraulic and engine failures.

Fleet managers also use these books to set up service sheets and train new operators on a machine they haven't run before.
