Link-Belt 80X3 Spin Ace Excavator Instruction Manual

Link-Belt 80X3 Spin Ace Excavator

Cab

The Link-Belt X3 cab is the strongest and roomiest LBX has ever offered. The X3 cab is ROPS and FOPS Level 1 certified and is designed to be strong and safe without sacrificing operator comfort. These improvements leave plenty of room to rest work boots on the two foot rests on either side of the travel pedals.

High-Definition 7” LED Monitor

The Link-Belt X3’s from LBX are equipped with an all new High- Definition LED monitor. The full-color 7-inch monitor is one of the largest in the industry and rivals the resolution and quality found in luxury automobiles. The X3’s user-friendly monitor panel includes an engine-idle shutdown option that safely shuts off the engine after 3 minutes of idling, conserving fuel. Another idle feature accessible from the monitor panel is the auto-idle feature that, when selected, takes the engine speed down to an idle level, conserving fuel while waiting for that next truck to show up.

145 X3 and 235 X3 Models

The 145 X3 and 235 X3 models use a “passive” regeneration process and the monitor clearly lets the operator know what is going on and if they need to do anything with the machine. The on-screen DPD gauge shows the level of particulate matter that the DPF is capturing and will clean it out every 8 hours by way of an Auto Regeneration. During the Auto Regeneration process, the operator does NOT have to do anything with the machine other than keep working. During a parked, or Manual Regeneration, the monitor will give the operator the appropriate instructions on what to do with the machine, making it as simple as possible.

In-Cab Control

• Track or monitor up to 13 service interval reminders
• Engine idle shutdown, which, when selected, safely shuts off the engine after 3 minutes of idling to conserve fuel
• Adjust hydraulic flow
• 18 languages available

Monitor

Engine

The fuel-efficient, powerful, productive, quiet and longlasting Isuzu engine LBX uses in the Link-Belt X3 series meets the EPA’s Interim Tier 4 (Tier 4a) requirements by way of cooled exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) technology and a diesel particulate diffuser system (DPD) in the 145 X3 and 235 X3. The DPD consists of a diesel oxidation catalyst (DOC) and a diesel particulate filter (DPF) for “passive regeneration” of exhaust emissions. The 75 X3 and 80 X3 are Final Tier 4-certified and are not equipped with a DPF; therefore, they do not require any regeneration. A new variable geometry turbocharger (VGT), available on the 145 X3 and 235 X3, helps optimize the combustion process and ensures consistent boost pressure during low engine rpm’s. This maintains efficient machine performance and helps eliminate harmful nitrous oxides (NOx) from forming.

The X3 has three engine work modes to give the operator full control of the machine for the job at hand:

• Speed Priority (SP mode) is the fastest and most productive mode giving the operator peak machine performance to get the job done quickly.
• Heavy (H mode) is a perfect combination of fuel efficiency and productivity. It really is the best of both worlds!
• Applied Power (A mode) gives the operator 13 different engine rpm settings to choose from to easily fine tune the machine to the specific job at hand. This mode is perfect for heavy lifting, fine grading or leveling work, and pipeline contractors use it to safely set pipe down into the trench.

Intelligent Design

• Quiet
• Long-lasting
• One-touch idle and auto-idle functions conserve fuel
• Idle start protects a cold engine from over-revving
• Auto engine warm up feature gradually increases engine speed until normal operating temperature is achieved.

Hydraulics

The Link-Belt X3’s from LBX are equipped with two Kawasaki variable- displacement axial-piston pumps and one Kawasaki gear pump installed in-line with the engine. This is the most efficient hydraulic pump layout — keeping engine rpm’s low while producing plenty of hydraulic muscle. The X3 uses an open center hydraulic system which refers to the open passage in the control valve that allows the hydraulic oil to return to tank when the control valve is centered. This design gives the machine a much smoother feeling when operating and also eliminates excess pressure throughout the system, which, in turn, helps to conserve fuel.

Powerful & Productive

• Available on the 145 X3 and 235 X3, Auto Power Boost gives 9% more hydraulic pressure (power) for 8 seconds
• More speed through larger hydraulic lines
• Improved oil regeneration circuits

Safe

• Boom and arm holding valves
• Standard hydraulic control pattern change valve to move between ISO and SAE
• Optional “Free Swing” auto-centers the machine over the load and takes out the pendulum effect of large, long loads

Long-lasting

• Continuous filtration of 5000-hour hydraulic oil through a 6 micron, full-flow return filter
• Less wear due to reduced back pressure.

Serviceability

Easy to maintain

• Ground level access to:
  • Batteries
  • Dual fuel filters with water separators
  • Engine oil filter
  • Dual element air filter
  • Cab fresh air filter
• Green drain plug and hose
• Easy-open engine hood
• Easy-access in-cab fuse box accessible while seated in cab seat
• Side-by-side oil cooler/radiator design is easy to clean
• Quick and easy access to grease all attachment pivot points
• Grease cylinder track adjusters make adjusting track tension a breeze

Maintenance reminders

• In-cab monitor will track 13 different serviceable items:
  • 5 reminders for engine items
  • 5 for hydraulic items
  • 3 other reminders

Simple

• Flexible and heat-resistant color-coded wiring harnesses
• External fuel site gauge can be viewed from ground level to see fuel levels
• Lube and maintenance charts posted inside toolbox for readability and protection from the elements

Performance

Improvements and Optimizations

• 15% increased lift capacity over previous series
• 18% better fuel efficiency than previous series
• 8% faster cycle times
• Time will be saved in switching out the attachment tools via the in-cab monitor.

Durability

LBX built the Link-Belt X3 series to last, and they come with one of the best standard warranties in the industry. We back our machines with a 1-year / 1,800 hour full machine warranty, a 2-year / 3,000 hour engine warranty, and a 3-year / 10,000 hour XtraStructure warranty that even covers the turntable bearing and tub.

EMS (Extended Maintenance System) chrome pins and grease impregnated brass bushings with graphite inserts reduce wearand- tear and can be found throughout the attachment. This design makes it possible to extend lube intervals to 6 months or 1,000 hours at all pivot points excluding the bucket which is monthly or 250 hours, whichever comes first.

Strong

• X-Pattern carbody made with high tensile strength steel
• Turntable bearing tub extends through the carbody and is welded on top and bottom
• Factory standard belly pan guard
• D-channel sideframes provide excellent impact resistance
• Cab is FOPS level 1 and ROPS certified
• Thicker steel plating on the attachment
• Standard HD linkage on 350 X3 and 470 X3 and on all Link-Belt X3 excavators ordered with factory hydraulic packages
