Link Belt 360X2 Rubber Tired Material Handler Service Manual

Out in scrap yards, ports, and log yards, this 360X2 rubber-tired material handler spends its life creeping, grabbing, and swinging under load. This service manual is what I’d pull when I need to trace a drive issue or sort out why the machine won’t move right after a hard day in rough ground. For example, if the handler starts hesitating when you shift or feels weak on travel, this book walks you through a logical path to isolate whether it’s in the transmission, the hydrostatic side, or a control problem before you start throwing parts at it.

Applications & Use Cases

• Track down travel faults like no-move, slow-move, or harsh shifting by following step-by-step diagnostic checks.
• Plan disassembly and reassembly of the transmission so you don’t miss seals, shims, or alignment steps.
• Verify adjustments on linkages, pressures, and controls after repairs to make sure the machine drives straight and responds correctly.
• Test and confirm repairs with proper procedures instead of guessing, especially after replacing major components.
• Support preventive maintenance by showing where to inspect for early wear, leaks, and contamination in the drive system.

FAQ

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

A: Yes, it works well digitally; you can zoom diagrams and use search to jump to the checks you need beside the machine.

Q: Is it worth printing sections of this manual?

A: Many techs print just the procedures they’re doing that day, so they can mark notes, oil types, and test results without risking a tablet around grease and sparks.

Safety Note

Always isolate the machine, support it securely, and depressurize systems before opening any part of the transmission or hydraulic drive circuit.
