Factory relief settings, gear clearances and circuit logic for the Kawasaki KSS70, KSS80Z Super Shovel live in one place: this 242-page shop manual PDF, Kawasaki publication S0701-5. Wiring diagrams trace the starter, charging and regulator circuits through every key position, including the KSS70 AC circuit, while hydraulic schematics follow oil from the gear pump through the control valve, relief valves and the bucket and dump positioners. Teardown work takes the largest share of the book: torque converter, transmission, differential, steering gear, and the brake line from air master to disc brake, plus troubleshooting tables for power, axle, hydraulic, steering and positioner faults. Set your control valve main relief at 175 kg/cm², and replace parts if differential gear to spider clearance runs past 0.105 mm. Some days it's just you, a stalled shovel, and nobody to call. Print the sections you need and let them get greasy at the bench; the bookmarked, text-searchable original stays clean on your drive.
