Manual No. EM8RA-1-3
Read this manual carefully to learn how to operate
and service your rigid dump truck correctly. Failure to
do so could result in personal injury and/or rigid dump
truck damage.
This manual should be considered a permanent
part of your rigid dump truck and should remain with
the rigid dump truck when you sell it.
Measurements in this manual are given in both met-
ric and customary U.S. unit equivalent. Use only cor-
rect replacement parts and fasteners. Metric and inch
fasteners may require a specific metric or inch
wrench.
Write product identification numbers in the Rigid
dump truck Numbers section. Accurately record all the
numbers to help in tracing the rigid dump truck should
it be stolen. Your dealer also needs these numbers
when you order parts. File a copy of the identification
numbers in a secure place off the rigid dump truck.
Warranty is provided as a part of Hitachi’s support
program for customers who operate and maintain
their equipment as described in this manual. The
warranty is explained on the warranty certificate which
you should have received from your dealer.
This warranty provides you the assurance that Hitachi
will back its products when defects occur within the
warranty period. In some circumstances, Hitachi also
provides field improvements, often without charge to
the customer, even if the product is out of warranty.
Should the equipment be abused or modified to
change its performance beyond the original fac-
tory specifications, the warranty will become void
and field improvements may be denied.
Setting fuel delivery above specifications or otherwise
overpowering rigid dump trucks will result in such ac-
tion.
Moreover, when replacement parts are required, be
sure to use genuine Hitachi parts. Failure to do so
may re
