Fits the Liebherr R 900 C Litronic and R 904 C Litronic crawler excavators, both powered by the D 924 TI E A2 engine. The R900C runs an LPV 150 pump at 88 kW. The R904C gets a DPVO 165 and 99 kW. This is Liebherr order number 10069965, issue 01/2008, in English.
On a 20 t excavator, a guessed torque or pump setting can cost you a head gasket or a pump, plus a day with the crew standing still. This book gives you the factory figures, the test points and the adjustment check lists for both machines.
The main group index covers groups 1 to 18. It starts with general information and runs through the engine, LSC hydraulics, BST electrics, swing, travel, undercarriage, options and the schematic sheets. Find your group in the index, turn to it and start work.
