Part of the Hitachi Repair Manuals.
This 512-page Hitachi Technical Manual covers the EX27U, EX30U, EX35U, EX29UE, EX32UE and EX36UE excavators in one book: the technical volume up front (p2-180) and the workshop volume behind it (p181-512). It walks the hydraulic system from the pump device and control valve through the swing and travel circuits, gives you the operational performance tests with their standard values, the troubleshooting trees for engine and actuator faults, and the full disassembly, inspection and reassembly of the upperstructure, undercarriage, front attachment and the Isuzu engine. Wiring and hydraulic circuit diagrams close the book (p508-512).
Complete the set for your EX27U to EX36UE
