Komatsu PC290LC-11E0D, PC290NLC-11E0 Hydraulic Excavator Operation and Maintenance Manual (UENAM01603)

On a PC290 working in quarry faces, pipe trenches, or demolition piles, this Operation and Maintenance Manual is what I keep handy to run the machine day in, day out without surprises. It walks you through how to operate the excavator correctly and set up a solid service rhythm so you’re not learning the hard way on the job. If, for example, the boom feels sluggish on a cold morning or you’re seeing odd fuel consumption, this is what I’d use to verify operating procedures, check basic inspections, and rule out simple misuse before calling in heavier diagnostics.

Applications & Use Cases

Plan daily and weekly checks so you catch loose hardware, leaks, or cracked hoses before they sideline the excavator.
Set up a preventive maintenance schedule that fits your hours and conditions, keeping the machine predictable on big pours or long shifts.
Trace early wear signs in undercarriage, work equipment, and swing area using the recommended inspection logic.
Verify correct warm-up, shutdown, and work modes to avoid stressing the engine and hydraulics in tough environments.
Train new operators on safe, efficient habits that reduce abuse and unplanned downtime.

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 quickly while the machine is parked.

Q: Is it worth printing certain pages?

A: Many techs print the inspection checklists and maintenance charts to hang in the workshop or keep in a service binder.

Safety Note

Always follow the manual’s safety instructions and lock-out procedures before inspecting, adjusting, or servicing this excavator.
