Link Belt 290X2 Excavator Shop Manual

On a 290X2 that spends its life digging foundations, loading trucks, or working in rocky trench jobs, this shop manual is what you reach for when the work goes beyond basic checks. It helps you tear down, inspect, and reassemble major systems in a way that makes sense in the field. Say you’ve got slow boom response and suspect an internal leak in the work circuit—this manual guides how to trace the issue, pull the right components, and put everything back together without guesswork or repeat failures.

Applications & Use Cases

• Planning a teardown of upper and lower structure components so you don’t miss hidden fasteners, seals, or shims.
• Checking wear points on pins, bushings, swing gear, and travel components before you order parts.
• Following a logical sequence to isolate hydraulic or travel faults instead of just swapping parts.
• Verifying alignment and clearances during reassembly to avoid early failures or noise complaints.
• Confirming hose routing and clamp locations after major repairs so nothing rubs through later.
