Komatsu PC88MR-11E0 Hydraulic Excavator Operation and Maintenance Manual (WENAM00502)

This PC88MR-11E0 is a tight-tail excavator that spends its life in tight urban jobs, road work, utility trenches, and around structures where you can’t afford downtime. This Operation and Maintenance Manual is what I keep handy to plan daily checks, schedule services, and keep the hydraulics and engine behaving under steady workload. If, for example, the boom starts moving a bit jerky on a cold morning, I’d use this book to verify proper warm‑up, check recommended inspection points, and trace whether it’s likely an operator habit, a filter issue, or something that actually needs a shop visit.

Applications & Use Cases

Plan preventive maintenance so you’re not guessing when to grease, inspect, or change wear items.
Set a consistent daily walk-around routine to catch leaks, loose hardware, or track problems early.
Align service timing with job schedules to minimize pulling the machine off a site unexpectedly.
Verify correct operating practices for tight spaces, lifting, and working near utilities.
Help new operators understand limits so they don’t abuse the machine and shorten component life.

FAQ

Q: Can I keep this manual on a tablet in the cab?

A: Yes, it’s practical to use digitally; you can zoom diagrams and search terms much faster on-site.

Q: Is it worth printing certain pages?

A: I’d print the daily/periodic check pages and keep them in a binder or plastic sleeve right in the job trailer.

Safety Note

Always follow the manual’s safety instructions before inspecting, adjusting, or working around any moving components.
