Written by Kawasaki for its 70ZIV wheel loader, the original 157-page factory operator's book is reproduced here as a Kawasaki 70ZIV operator manual PDF. Maintenance takes up the biggest share of the book, starting with daily walkaround checks, moving through the 50, 250, 500, 1000 and 2000 hour service lists, and ending with a lubricant, capacity and coolant chart. Earlier sections explain the pedals, levers, switches and dash indicators in your cab, cover towing and jump starting, and lay out troubleshooting charts for engine, electrical, steering, hydraulic, brake and torque converter faults. Plan on 140 liters (37 gal.) for the hydraulic tank and 20 liters (5.3 gal.) of transmission oil, and keep compressed air at 2 kg/cm² (30 psi) or less when you blow out the air cleaner element. An hour parked is an hour of material not moving. Bookmarks and a searchable text layer take you straight to the 500 hour list without paging through the whole book.
