Undercarriage Assembly (Procedures 1–5)

Detailed instructions for mounting crawler segments to the side frames, assembling the undercarriage, fitting the cable reel unit, mounting final drives, closing the chains, and installing the auxiliary weight. Includes pin orientation guidance, track tensioning procedures, and torque tables for M20 and M24 fasteners.

Slew Ring and Superstructure (Procedures 6–8)

Covers mounting the slew ring underneath the superstructure platform, assembling the platform onto the undercarriage, and installing the prime drive unit. Includes slew ring bolt torque determination, backlash adjustment references, and drive unit alignment specs.

Boom, Stick and Attachment (Procedures 9–10, 25–26, 30–32)

Preassembly of boom and stick cylinders, mounting the boom, installing bucket cylinders, mounting the stick, and assembling the Bullclam bucket or backhoe attachment. Includes pin seal mounting procedures with inner and outer seal diagrams.

Counterweight, Fuel Tank and Cab (Procedures 11–14)

Mounting the counterweight, fuel tank or main switch cabinet, cab support, and operator cab. Includes cable transfer element installation for sealing the cab support, and cab air cleaner mounting.

Hydraulic and Cooling Systems (Procedures 15–16, 23–24, 27–28)

Mounting the hydraulic oil tank and hydraulic oil coolers, installing hose connections on the tank and coolers, HP hoses between filters and main valve blocks, and filling the hydraulic tank. Includes bleeding procedures for main pumps, gear pumps and axial piston pumps.

Electrical and Fire Suppression (Procedures 22, 33)
