Part of the Hitachi Repair Manuals.
Wrenching on a Hitachi EX27u or 35u? This 539-page Hitachi EX27u, 35u Technical and Workshop Manual PDF covers both mini excavators, from pump device to final drive. Inside: hydraulic circuit diagrams for each model, a full electrical circuit diagram, troubleshooting flowcharts for engine and actuator faults, and page after page of tightening torque charts. You also get operational performance standards, so you can test cycle times, main relief pressure, and swing motor drainage against real factory numbers instead of gut feel. Measure your bucket cylinder pin against the 35 mm standard before ordering parts; on the EX27u, ground pressure runs 29.1 kPa. No more chasing hydraulic gremlins with forum guesses and crossed fingers. Bookmarked with a full text layer, so you can jump straight to a section or search any spec from any device in the shop.
