INTRODUCTION
©2020- Hitachi Construction Machinery (Europe) NV
All rights reserved.
For All Machine Users
This instruction manual describes the basic knowledge for the operation and inspection and maintenance procedures
applied when a super long front is mounted to the hydraulic excavator (main system).
This manual contains only the additional information related to the Super Long Front operation that differ from the
parts in the Operation Manual for the standard Hydraulic Excavator. Be sure to thoroughly read and understand the
Operator's manual for the standard machine (base machine) before operating this machine.
Contents described in this manual have priority.
Before starting to operate the machine, read this manual thoroughly and understand the contents.
Operate and service the machine safely and correctly.
Keep the operator's manual at the operating seat so that an operator can check the content anytime he/she needs. Any
operation that does not conform to contents of this manual will lead to serious accidents and/or system failure.
In addition, when you are replacing consumable parts, refer to the list of consumable parts before ordering them. Also,
always use Hitachi genuine parts. Using other than genuine parts will lead to serious accidents and/or system failure.
If you have any questions regarding the machine, provide the Model/type (model name) and the PIN (Product
Identification Number) of your machine.
Model/type and PIN are marked on the nameplate at the front side of the main frame.
Confirm the information beforehand and make a note in the blank after “PIN indication” on the first page of this
manual.
This manual is an important part of this machine. If you hand over your machine, surely attach this manual to the
machine for the new user. Any operation that does not conform to contents of this manual will lead to serious
accidents and/or system failure.
Due to modifications of the machine, contents of this manual and delivered machine may partially differ from each
other.
If you have any questions or find any part that concerns you, contact our branch office or our sales office nearest to
you.
This manual mainly applies SI (international) units for descriptions of amounts and quantities. In addition, it provides a
numeric value in traditional (MKS) or conventional unit as a reference value in parenthesis followed as needed.
Ex. 25.0 MPa (255 kgf/cm2)
Be sure to use fuel that complies with JIS K-2204, EN-590 or ASTM D-975 which contains 15 ppm or lower sulfur. Also
use fuel that complies with solid contamination level of class 18/16/13 of ISO4406-1999 (solid contamination includes
dust). If the fuel specifiedabove is not used, exhaust gas that exceeds the regulation values may be discharged, causing
serious problem on the engine. Consult your authorized dealer.

Drive Machine Safely
Before driving the machine, always confirm that the travel
levers/pedals direction corresponds to the direction you
wish to drive.
Be sure to detour around any obstructions.
Avoid traveling over obstructions. Soil, fragments of rocks,
and/or metal pieces may scatter around the machine. Do
not allow personnel to stay around the machine while
traveling.
Driving on a slope may cause the machine to slip or
overturn, possibly resulting in serious injury or death.
Never attempt to ascend or descend 30 degrees or steeper
slopes.
Be sure to fasten the seat belt.
When driving up or down a slope, keep the bucket facing
the direction of travel, approximately 0.2 to 0.3 m (A) above
the ground. Expand the arm from vertical position on the
face of a slope.
If the machine starts to skid or becomes unstable,
immediately lower the bucket to the ground and stop.
Forbid swinging on a slope. Or it may cause the machine
to skid or turnover. If the direction must be changed, move
the machine to level ground, then, change the direction to
ensure safe operation.

Transport Safely
Take care the machine may turn over when loading or
unloading the machine onto or off of a truck or trailer.
Observe the related regulations and rules for safe
transportation.
Select an appropriate truck or trailer for the machine to
be transported.
Be sure to use a signal person.
Always follow the following precautions for loading or
unloading:
1) Select solid and level ground.
2) Always use a ramp or deck strong enough to support the
machine weight.
Loading docks must have an incline of less than 15
degrees.
3) Turn the auto-idle switch OFF.
4) Always select the slow speed mode with the travel mode
switch.
5) Never steer the machine while on the ramp. If the
traveling direction must be changed while the ramp,
unload the machine from the ramp, reposition the
machine on the ground, then try loading again.
6) The top end of the ramp where it meets the flatbed is a
sudden bump. Take care when traveling over it.
7) Place blocks in front of and behind the tires. Securely
hold the machine to the truck or trailer deck with wire
ropes.
Be sure to further follow the details described in the
TRANSPORTING section.

SAFETY
S-3
Avoid Rapid Machine Operation
Quick operation may cause the machine to tip over.
Especially never attempt to do quick travel or boom lowering
operation.
Avoid Work Other than Specified
This machine increases in weight of the counterweight and
has dedicated hydraulic system to operate the super long front
attachment.
Therefore, the standard front attachment can not be installed
on this machine.
Never install the front attachment of this machine to another
machine and never install front attachment of another
machine to this machine. Failure to do so may cause machine
turnover or damage, serious injury or death may result.
Be sure to use a bucket that has specified capacity, weight and
width. Otherwise, serious personal injury or death may result.

SAFETY
S-4
Take extra care when removing the stay pin. If the pin of
stay is removed, the stay will suddenly drop, your fingers
may be pinched by the stay.
Sign indicates a hazard of
being hit by the working
device of the machine. Keep
away from machine during
operation.
