Link Belt 210LX Excavator Shop Manual

The Link Belt 210LX is a production excavator that spends its life in dirt, rock, and mud—digging foundations, loading trucks, trenching utilities. This shop manual is what I’d pull when I need to trace wiring, locate components, and plan a repair without tearing half the machine apart. If, for example, your boom won’t lift and I suspect an electrical issue, I’d use this to find the right relay and fuse in the battery compartment, verify power paths, and avoid guessing.

Applications & Use Cases

Track down relay and fuse locations so you can quickly isolate electrical faults.
Plan cab and exterior teardown so you only remove what’s necessary to reach a bad harness or switch.
Verify component routing and mounting points before reassembly to prevent rub points and repeat failures.
Use the location views to double-check that hoses, looms, and brackets are aligned and secured after a repair.
Support field diagnostics by matching what you see on the machine to clear diagrams, reducing trial-and-error.

FAQ

Q: Can I use this manual on a tablet in the field?

A: Yes, it’s practical to keep it on a tablet or laptop so you can zoom in on diagrams while you’re at the machine.

Q: Is it worth printing sections of this manual?

A: Printing key pages you use often—like component locations—is handy for greasy jobs where you don’t want a device nearby.

Safety Note

Always lock out, tag out, and release stored energy before following any teardown or inspection steps from this manual.
