A missed service interval or a loose track shoe is how a 460 LX ends up parked, and the Link-Belt 460 LX operator manual PDF (Book No. 6-34490, 246 pages) is the factory book that keeps that from happening to your excavator. Controls take up a large share of the book: the systems display and control panel, both control arms, the control pattern selector, and the travel levers and pedals. A full lubrication chapter follows with the service interval chart, grease points for the turntable teeth and swing reduction gear, travel reduction gear checks and fluid capacities. After it come track tension, idler and roller inspection, and lifting capacity tables for retractable and fixed side frames. Expect 95 gpm (360 L/min) from each main pump, and torque track shoe bolts to 912 to 1,114 ft lb (1,236 to 1,510 Nm). Every hour the machine sits idle, your crew sits with it. You buy it once, and the bookmarked, text-searchable PDF stays yours for as long as you run this machine.
