The recommended maintenance schedule for the Kubota KX080-3 includes daily checks of engine oil, coolant levels, and hydraulic fluid. Regular maintenance intervals are every 250, 500, and 1000 hours for more comprehensive checks and servicing.
To troubleshoot hydraulic issues, check for leaks in hoses and fittings, ensure that the hydraulic fluid is at the proper level, and inspect the hydraulic filters for clogs. If problems persist, consult the service manual or a professional technician.
The Kubota KX080-3 typically requires ISO VG 46 hydraulic oil, but it's important to consult the operator's manual for specific recommendations based on your operating environment.
To adjust the track tension, first lift the machine to relieve pressure from the tracks. Then, use a grease gun to add grease to the tensioner until the proper tension is achieved, as indicated in the operator's manual.
For winter storage, clean the excavator thoroughly, check all fluid levels, lubricate moving parts, and disconnect the battery. Store the machine in a dry, covered area to protect it from the elements.
To improve fuel efficiency, ensure regular maintenance, operate the machine at optimal RPMs, and avoid unnecessary idling. Properly inflating the tracks can also help reduce fuel consumption.
If the engine overheats, immediately shut down the machine and allow it to cool. Check the coolant level and radiator for leaks or obstructions. Ensure that the cooling fan is operational and consult the service manual for further guidance.
To replace the air filter, locate the air filter housing, remove the cover, and take out the old filter. Insert the new filter, ensuring it is properly seated, and replace the cover securely.
Common signs of wear include uneven track tension, visible wear on sprockets and rollers, and excessive movement in the track links. Regular inspection can help identify these issues early.
To transport the Kubota KX080-3, ensure the machine is clean and secure all attachments. Use a trailer with adequate weight capacity, and properly chain down the excavator according to transportation regulations.
