Service intervals from the daily walkaround through the 2000-hour inspection take up the biggest share of this 238-page Kobelco SK210-8 operator manual PDF (OEM ID YN91Z00041P1). Around that schedule sits everything the operator of this crawler excavator deals with: safety decals, hand signals, cab controls and cold-weather starting. The I.T.C.S. controller CPU display has its own walkthrough in the controls chapter, so you know what every screen and indicator means before one lights up. Lifting capacity charts, component weights, undercarriage care and transport procedures fill out the back half. Fill the cooling system to 26.0 L (6.7 gal), put 1.8 L (0.5 gal) of oil into a new engine oil filter before you fit it, and keep compressed air under 2.8 bar (40 psi) when you blow out the outer air element. Guess at a hydraulic oil grade and you could end up paying for a pump. The bookmarked, text-searchable file prints cleanly, so the maintenance pages can go to the bench and get greasy.

Kobelco SK210-8 Common Problems This Manual Covers
Kobelco SK210-8 engine oil pressure warning on the I.T.C.S. display followed by automatic engine shutdown
Check engine oil level against the H level before restarting; the oil pan holds 15.5 liters per page 127. If you just changed the filter, verify it got the 1.8 liters of oil shown on page 152. Do not keep restarting with the warning lit; the shutdown is the system protecting the engine from low oil pressure.
Manual Section: Engine Oil Pressure DisplayEngine coolant temperature display lit during work and engine RPM dropping on its own
Check coolant level only after the engine cools; never open a hot radiator. The radiator holds 13.5 liters and the full cooling system 26.0 liters per page 128. Top off using the fluids listed in the Lubrication, Filters, and Fluids section, then run the machine under load and watch the temperature display.
Manual Section: Engine Coolant Temperature DisplayClogged engine air cleaner warning showing on the cab display and engine stopping
Remove the outer element and clean it with compressed air at less than 2.8 bar (40 psi), following page 172. Inspect the element before reinstalling and replace it if it is damaged. Refit the cover and confirm the air cleaner warning clears after restart.
Manual Section: Engine Air Cleaner DisplayEngine hard to start and running poorly after the low fuel warning was ignored
Fill the tank first; it holds 370 liters per page 128. Then bleed air from the fuel system following the procedure in the Maintenance and Adjustments section before cranking again. Check whether the water separator warning is also lit on the display. Avoid long cranking cycles while air is still in the lines.
Manual Section: Bleeding Air From Fuel SystemPilot controls giving erratic or delayed operation after hydraulic repair work on the machine
Check hydraulic oil level first and top off if low; the tank holds 146 liters per page 127. Then bleed the pilot system following the procedure in the Maintenance and Adjustments section. Run the controls at low speed afterward and confirm response is smooth before putting the machine back to work.
Manual Section: Bleeding the Pilot SystemEngine quits suddenly with the boom and arm raised and attachment stuck in the air
Clear everyone out from under the attachment first. Lower the boom and arm using the emergency lowering procedure in the Maintenance and Adjustments section. If the machine must be towed, release the travel motor brakes manually per the same section, and release the swing brake manually if the upper must be turned.
Manual Section: Lowering Attachment When Sudden Engine Failure Occurs p. 191Frequently Asked Questions
How do I reset the service-hour counter on an SK210-8?
The service-hour counter is reset by recalibrating the engine oil change interval. After performing the oil change, you must proceed to re-calibrate the engine oil change interval as described in the maintenance section. p. 65
What are the engine oil filter replacement specifications for the Kobelco SK210-8?
The engine oil filter should be changed after the first 50 hours of operation on a new machine, and then every 500 hours thereafter. One new oil filter is provided in the support kit for the initial 50-hour service. p. 151
What is the torque specification for the track shoe mounting bolts on the Kobelco SK210-8?
The shoe mounting bolts for the track assembly must be torqued to 853 ± 27 N·m (628 ± 36 ft-lbs). p. 147
What is the total engine oil capacity for the SK210-8?
The total engine oil volume for the SK210-8 is 18.3 Liters (4.8 Gal). This includes 15.5 Liters in the oil pan (H level), 2.8 Liters for the filter, and 4.9 Liters of residual oil. p. 127
How do I bleed the pilot system after hydraulic repairs?
With the engine running at low idle, loosen the pilot lines from the top side of the spools in the Control Valve one at a time. Operate the function for the spool being bled to remove air, then tighten the hose connections to 50 N·m (37 ft-lb). p. 198
