Regeneration Inhibit Switch

NOTICE!

Operating the machine with the regeneration inhibit switch turned on for an extended period
of time will cause the soot level to increase and can damage the exhaust aftertreatment
system.

Use the regeneration inhibit switch (1) to deactivate


automatic regeneration. The exhaust system regeneration
inhibited icon (2) on the monitor will illuminate when
regeneration is being inhibited. See “Home Screen
Notification Icons” on page 3-36.
1
Use the regeneration inhibit switch when the machine is
operating in an environment not suitable for regeneration,
such as in confined areas, near flammable materials, or
other areas that could create a safety hazard.

The operator should turn off the regeneration inhibit switch


as soon as possible to avoid soot buildup. If the operator
inhibits automatic regeneration for an extended period of
time, the DPF system will become clogged, causing the Fig. 3-25 0005313

machine to operate in a derated power mode where engine


rpm and power will be reduced and the machine will
require a stationary regeneration.

NOTE: When the regeneration inhibit switch is off,


the exhaust system regeneration inhibited icon
(2) is off. The engine will perform a
regeneration automatically when needed.

NEW MACHINE BREAK-IN

CONTENTS
TABLE OF
NOTICE!

The machine has been throughly tested and adjusted before shipment. However, initial
operation of the machine under severe conditions can adversely affect the performance of the

INTRODUCTION
machine or shorten the machine life. SANY recommends a break-in period of 100 service
hours for a new machine. Properly break in a new machine is crucial for a long service life by
allowing time for internal engine parts to break in.

1. Stat the engine and run at low idle until it reaches proper operating temperature. Do not move the controls.

2. Avoid operating the machine under heavy loads or at high speeds during the break-in period. Operate as much
as possible in the 1/2 to 3/4 throttle or load range. Do not operate this machine with a full load during the

SAFETY
break-in period.

3. Avoid sudden starts, movements, or stops, except in an emergency.

4. Monitor the instruments frequently – especially the engine oil pressure and engine coolant temperature.

CONTROLS
MACHINE
5. Avoid operating the engine at low idle for extended periods of time.

6. Manage engine power to allow acceleration to governed speed when conditions require more power. Do not
over-rev the engine.

Hydraulic Oil Description


Hydraulic oil is an important part of the hydraulic system. Hydraulic oil lubricates hydraulic system components,
carries heat away from components, and contains anti corrosion additives and detergents.

Hydraulic system malfunctions are often caused by poor machine maintenance practices. Following the guidelines
below will result in proper hydraulic system maintenance:

• Do not use any additives in the hydraulic oil.

• Replace hydraulic oil that has been subjected to overheating or damaged components.

• Change the hydraulic oil filter as recommended.

• Keep the hydraulic oil tank filled to the full level with hydraulic oil.

• Keep the hydraulic oil cooler free of dust and debris.

• Cap and plug all openings after removing components for service or repair.

Lubrication and Grease


Always use clean extreme pressure (EP) grease when greasing the machine. Avoid using low-viscosity grease.
SANY recommends EP2 or equivalent lubricants for heavy-duty plain and rolling element bearings operating
under severe conditions, including shock loading in wet environments.

Windshield Washer Fluid


Only use clean automotive windshield washer fluid. Do not mix concentrates into the washer fluid. In cold weather
areas, use washer fluid with a low temperature rating.

Diesel Exhaust Fluid (DEF)


SANY recommends using diesel exhaust fluid (DEF) that meets DIN 70700 or ISO 2224101.

Never open a hydraulic component under pressure. Escaping hydraulic oil is under high
pressure and can penetrate the skin and cause serious injury or death. Do not use hands to
check for leaks. Wear gloves, eye protection, and other personal protective equipment (PPE)
and use a piece of cardboard or paper to search for suspected leaks.

Check all hydraulic hoses and lines for leaks. Replace damaged or leaking hydraulic hoses and lines immediately.

Make sure there is sufficient distance between all lines and hoses and the high-temperature engine components (for
example, the exhaust system).

Prepare the machine for service. See “Maintenance Safety” on page 2-8. Examine hydraulic hoses and lines for the
following:

• Couplings that are cracked or have become loose.

• Damage, cuts, or abrasions.

• Hardening, chapping, or burning of hose.

• Cracks or serious corrosion on the couplings.

• Leaks at the couplings.

• Twisted, broken, flat, or distorted hoses or lines.

• Blisters or softness in the external hose layer.

Stop valves stop or allow the flow of hydraulic oil:

• In the ON position (1), the stop valve is rotated 3


counterclockwise until it contacts the stop (3). The
ON position is shown. This allows hydraulic oil to
flow to the equipment.

• In the OFF position (2), the stop valve is rotated


clockwise until it contacts the stop (3). This
prevents hydraulic oil from flowing past the stop
valve.

NOTE: Turn the stop valve to the closed position when Fig. 7-2 0005331
