Description

Hitachi EX8000-6 Hydraulic Excavator Operator’s Manual – Loading Shovel

The Hitachi EX8000-6 is one of the largest hydraulic excavators in service, an 811,000 kg (1,788,000 lb) mining-class machine powered by twin Cummins QSKTA60-CE diesel engines producing 1,450 kW (1,970 PS) each. This is the complete Hitachi EX8000-6 Hydraulic Excavator Operator’s Manual for the loading shovel configuration, supplied as a single PDF covering machine identification, safety, controls, operation, driving, maintenance, special-environment service, storage, troubleshooting and full specifications. It is the document a new operator, trainer, or maintenance planner works through before the machine moves a bucket of overburden.

• Storage – storing the machine, removing from storage and transporting the machine
• Troubleshooting – Cummins fault code lamps and diagnostic switches, engine, electrical system, mode selection, hydraulic system and auto-idle
• Specifications – full machine specifications and working range for the loading shovel configuration
• Index – complete alphabetical index

Read together, these chapters give the operator a full working picture of the EX8000-6: which switch does what, what each monitor indicator means, how the two-engine start sequence is timed, how the 24 grease points on the swing bearing are serviced, how the auto-lubrication injectors are checked, how track sag is measured and corrected, and how the machine behaves under load, on a grade, or near an excavation edge. The maintenance interval guide alone is worth the download, because it lays out every 10, 50, 250, 500, 1,000, 1,500 and 2,000 hour task in one table.

Swing speed is 3.2 min-1 and travel speed is 2.0 km/h fast and 1.4 km/h slow, with gradeability of 30 degrees. Working range figures cover minimum digging distance, level crowding distance, maximum digging reach, maximum cutting height, maximum dumping height, maximum digging depth and maximum bucket opening width.

Who This Operator’s Manual Is For

This Hitachi EX8000-6 operator’s manual is the right document for mine site trainers, new operators moving onto the EX8000-6, maintenance planners scheduling 250-hour and 500-hour services, and owners who need the original operating and safety text in front of them before signing off a pre-start inspection. It is also a valuable reference for anyone maintaining a fleet that includes the EX8000-6 loading shovel, because the safety, start-up, shutdown and emergency procedures are documented exactly as Hitachi issued them.
