Description

Hitachi EX3600-5 Excavator Workshop Manual — W146E-00

This Hitachi EX3600-5 Excavator Workshop Manual is the complete mechanical service and repair reference for the EX3600-5, issued under publication number W146E-00. Written for the experienced technician, this Hitachi EX3600-5 workshop manual supplies the tools and devices required for maintenance and repair, the maintenance standards that keep the machine within specification, and the step-by-step removal/installation and assemble/disassemble procedures needed to carry out the work correctly.

Unlike a general excavator repair guide, this is a machine-specific workshop manual dedicated to one model. Every procedure, tolerance, and component illustration in the EX3600-5 service documentation was written around this machine’s actual systems, so the technician is not left guessing whether a torque figure or assembly sequence from a different model will apply.

What This Manual Gives the Technician

The EX3600-5 workshop manual is built around the actual repair workflow. Each component group follows a logical sequence: removal from the machine, disassembly on the bench, inspection against maintenance standards, reassembly, and installation back onto the machine. Torque values appear throughout — from the 6860 N·m counterweight bolts to the 9810 N·m swing bearing and main frame mounting bolts, the 400 N·m travel reduction gear fasteners, and the 1950 N·m drive tumbler cover bolts.

Maintenance standards are included for the major wear components — plunger-to-cylinder block clearances, spring free lengths, shoe thickness, retainer heights, bushing dimensions, and brake plate thicknesses — so a technician can measure wear and decide whether a part can be reused, repaired, or must be replaced.

The undercarriage section is particularly detailed, covering the travel reduction gear and travel motor disassembly/assembly, the drive tumbler with its floating seal handling procedures, the front idler, upper and lower rollers, track shoes, and the accumulator with its nitrogen gas charging procedure. A dedicated welding repair procedure covers track shoe lugs, rollers, and the drive tumbler, including preheat temperatures, welding rod specifications, and post-weld cooling requirements.

The front attachment section covers both Backhoe and Loading Shovel configurations, with separate removal and installation procedures for the bucket, arm, and boom, as well as complete cylinder disassembly and assembly for the boom, arm, bucket, level (Loading Shovel only), and dump (Loading Shovel only) cylinders. Nut tightening specifications for cylinder assembly, cushion bearing dimension checks, and air bleeding points are all documented.

Safety and Service Precautions

The manual opens with a comprehensive safety chapter covering safety alert symbols and signal words, protective clothing, machine inspection, handholds and steps, seat adjustment and seat belt use, safe machine operation, and the correct procedures for parking, servicing, and returning the machine to the customer. Specific hazards addressed include high-pressure fluids, battery explosions, exhaust fumes, asbestos dust, chemical products, and fire prevention — all relevant to working on a machine of this size.
