Foreword
This manual will help users to operate and maintain the machine correctly.
It is particularly important that the machine operator should read these instructions carefully
not only prior to using the machine for the first time (in order to become acquainted with its
operation and special features), but also to take full advantage of its capabilities during use,
or for lubricating and servicing operations. Otherwise accidents or damage may occur.
The manual should be regarded as the permanent part of machine and kept in the cab for
consultation at any time. And the manual should be attached when the machine is transferred
or sold.
The machine is designed according to the metric system, all the data presented are metric
and only metric parts and apparatus can be used.
Position definition: RIGHT and LEFT always mean the left and right of an operator seated
correctly in the machine. The drive sprockets of undercarriage are located at the rear.
Sunward guarantees to keep machine in good repair in term of service. The service details
are showed in Maintenance Card supplied by distribution.
Maintenance Card guarantees can you get service or not in service period. In some
conditions, even if machine is out of service term, Sunward can also supply the in site free
service in normal. Warranty claims will not be considered provided ：1. Reassemble and
repair machine without any notice to Sunward; 2.Disaassemble, welding and add parts in
machine; 3.Use the parts which is not from Sunward or do not get approval by Sunward;
4.Assemble, operate, park the machine which do not follow the operator’s manual; 5. Fuel
oil and lubricating grease is not fit for the manual request; 6.Do not complete routine
maintenance base on the manual.
Possible warranty claims may be considered only provided that all operations are made by
qualified operator and scheduled inspections are made at the specified times by qualified
technician.
Regarding SAFETY in particular, we recommend carefully reading the SAFETY RULES in
this manual and complying with all the safety rules.
The equipment covered by this manual meets the applicable technical specifications
effective as of its date of issue. The manufacturer SUNWARD reserves the right to make
from time to time and without prior notice any modification or amendment of any nature,
deemed useful or necessary, to any machine component, without any obligation to amend
the content of this manual accordingly. Pictures and data contained in this manual are not
binding. Consequently, no claim raised in this respect will be considered.

1 SAFETY RULES
1.1 SAFETY INSTRUCTION
1.1.1 Safety Level
The security matters of this regulation are divided into three grades: “Danger”
“Warning” ”Attention”
Danger：If not avoided, death or serious injury may occur.
Warning：If not avoided, death, serious injury and heavy equipment loss may occur.
Note：If not avoided, operator may be hurt or equipment may be damaged.
1.1.2 Safety Signs
Safety signs are used to alert safety. If you see this sign in the machine or in the operating
instructions, you should be aware of the danger of injury.
Read and understand carefully, follow all the safety on the machine, as well as the safety
of this manual.
Need to maintain and update the security logo in time, always keep the sign clear,
eye-catching and firm.
1.1.3 Safety Scutcheon
Different parts of the machine have different safety
signs, which are labeled with different degrees of hazard,
such as “Danger”“Warning”“Attention” (See right FIG.).
Danger---indicates an imminently hazardous
situation which, if not avoided, will result in death or
serious injury.
Warning---indicates a potentially hazardous situation
which, if not avoided, could result in death or serious injury.
Attention---indicates a potentially hazardous situation which, if not avoided, may result in
minor or moderate injury
“Danger” and “Warning” are set to specific locations within the range of possible hazards.
General Announcements are on “Attention”. In this manual, “Attention” is also used remind of
safety instructions.

1.1.4 Other Signs
Oil level sign Temperature sign Battery sign
Hoist direction sign Warning sign Direction sign
1.2 ALLOWED WORKING SLOPE
1.2.1 Regulation of Parking Space
The allowable grade of slope is calculated on firm ground without any ascend, so when the
machine is on rough and loose ground, the valve should be reduced.
Forbid to travel over the allowable value so as to prevent the tilting danger.
1.2.2 Travel on Slope
When travel in falling gradient，grade of slope in longitudinal must be no more than 5°，and
adjust the mast backward no less than 10°～15°.
When travel in up grade，grade of slope in longitudinal must be no more than 5°, and adjust the
mast backward no less than 10°～15°.
