Doosan Daewoo DX420LC Common Problems This Manual Covers
Doosan Daewoo DX420LC hydraulic functions weak and slow, pump whining and oil overheating under load
Check the hydraulic oil level and condition first; the reservoir holds 265 liters and low oil lets the pump pull air. Drop the suction strainer and clean it, that intake screen is 177 micron and plugs with sludge. Replace the 10 micron return filter, then work through the troubleshooting procedures starting on page 311 before condemning the pump.
Manual Section: Hydraulic System Troubleshooting, Testing and Adjustment p. 311Travel motor will not rotate, machine will not travel or one track drags
Verify the parking brake releases before condemning the motor; pilot pressure at the brake port must reach 15.7 kg/cm2, the spec is on page 443. Measure case drain pressure next, anything over 2 kg/cm2 means internal leakage past the rotary group. Drain the planetary gearbox and check the oil for metal before reassembly.
Manual Section: Travel Motor (with Gearbox) p. 437Hydraulic oil temperature climbs fast under load, relief valves hissing during hard digging
Test main relief pressure at the pump with a gauge; the spec on page 74 is 320 kg/cm2 normal and 350 kg/cm2 in pressure-up mode. A relief valve stuck low dumps flow across the seat and cooks the oil. Clean the cooler fins with compressed air and check fan drive condition while you are in there.
Manual Section: Hydraulic Problems TroubleshootingEngine cranks slowly or will not start at all, especially on cold mornings
Load test the batteries and clean both ground cable connections before blaming the starter. Trace the crank circuit using the wiring diagram if the relay clicks but nothing turns. If it spins but will not fire, bleed air from the fuel system, replace both fuel filters, and check the pickup in the 550 liter tank for sludge.
Manual Section: Electrical SystemMetallic glitter in hydraulic oil, filters loading up with grey paste at every service
Drain a sample from the reservoir bottom into a clean jar and let it settle; grey paste or metal flake means the rotating group is eating itself. Tear the pump down and measure piston to cylinder bore clearance against the 0.037 to 0.050 mm spec on page 459. Flush all 420 liters of system oil before restart.
Manual Section: Main Pump p. 493Frequently Asked Questions
How do I check for fault codes on the Doosan DX420LC?
To start the self-diagnosis, turn the starter switch to the ON position, set the temperature to 25°C or 77°F, and press the SEL switch more than 3 times in 5 seconds while pressing the A/C switch. The auto-diagnosis will start, and error codes will blink in a 0.5-second cycle on the display. p. 847
What is the procedure for resetting the operating hours for filters and oils?
To reset the operating hours, navigate to the 'Filter / Oil Info' mode in the main menu. After changing the filter and oil, use the reset function to clear the operating hours so that the time until the next service interval can be tracked accurately. p. 779
What is the tightening torque for the main relief valve cap on the control valve?
When reassembling the main relief valve, the cap (8) should be tightened to a torque of 9.48 - 11.01 kg•m (69 - 80 ft lb). Ensure the installation portion is clean before installing. p. 608
What is the fuel tank capacity for the DX420LC?
The fuel tank capacity for the DX420LC is 550 liters (145 U.S. gal). p. 149
What is the tightening torque for the counterweight mounting bolts?
The mounting bolts for the counterweight on the DX420LC should be torqued to 250 kg•m (1,807 ft lb). p. 140
How will I receive this Doosan Daewoo DX420LC Shop Manual?
A single searchable PDF file of 900 pages, downloadable right after payment. Nothing ships, nothing waits in the mail.
Am I able to print pages from this Doosan Daewoo DX420LC manual?
