Foreword
READ THIS MANUAL carefully; learn how to operate
and service your machine correctly. Failure to do so
could result in personal injury or equipment damage.
This manual and safety signs on your machine may
also be available in other languages. (See authorized
dealer to order.)
THIS MANUAL SHOULD BE CONSIDERED a
permanent part of your machine and should remain
with the machine when you sell it.
MEASUREMENTS in this manual are given in both
metric and customary U.S. unit equivalents. Use only
correct replacement parts and fasteners. Metric and
inch fasteners may require a specific metric or inch
wrench.
RIGHT-HAND AND LEFT-HAND sides are determined
by facing in direction of forward travel.
WRITE PRODUCT IDENTIFICATION NUMBERS (PIN)
in the Machine Numbers section. Accurately record all
the numbers to help in tracing the machine should it
be stolen. Your dealer also needs these numbers
when you order parts. File the identification numbers in
a secure place off the machine.
WARRANTY is provided as part of Hitachi’s support
program for customers who operate and maintain their
equipment as described in this manual. The warranty
is explained on the warranty certificate which you
should have received from your dealer.
This warranty provides you assurance that Hitachi will
back its products where defects appear within the
warranty period. In some circumstances, Hitachi also
provides field improvements, often without charge to
the customer, even if the product is out of warranty.
Should the equipment be abused, or modified to
change its performance beyond the original factory
specifications, the warranty will become void and field
improvements may be denied. Setting fuel delivery
above specifications or otherwise overpowering
machines will result in such action.
