2 Construction & operation of the lubrication system

The machine is serially fitted with a centralized lubrication system.
With this system all or nearly all of the lubrication points of the machine which require at least daily
lubrication are lubricated via an electrical driven grease pump which is turned on during machine op-
eration.
This grease pump is mounted in the area behind the driver's cab.
The grease delivered by the pump U4 is distributed to the different lubrication points LP in metered
quantities, first via the main distributor 2 and further via the secondary distributors 3, 4, 5, ... mounted
to the front of the upper carriage and to the working attachment.
The lubrication unit complete U4 mainly consists of a transparent grease container 13, and an electric
motor 14 driving a lubrication pump 15.

14 Electric motor 15 Grease pump
U4 Lubrication pump complete LP Lubrication points
During a lubricating procedure, all of the lubrication points LP connected to the system are lubricated
one after the other in a predetermined sequence (progressive system).
The flow sequence and amount of lubricant for each lubrication point depend on the combination of
the distributors and lubrication lines and on the piston sizes of the different distribution elements.
Lubrication points connected to the central lubrication:

the ball bearing races of the swing ring,
the housing around the output pinion of the swing ring, which contains the grease reserves for the
swing ring teeth lubrication,
all (or the most of) the lubrication points of standard working attachments.
the seat of the swing gear inside the uppercarriage structure (only for R 954C).
Lubrication points not connected to the central lubrication system:
Caution!
When operating a machine and especially if it is fitted with a special working attachment, make sure
to lubricate daily all the lubrication points which may be installed separately, i. e. which are not con-
nected to the central lubrication system.
On some backhoe attachments, some grease fittings may be installed separately in the area of
the connector bracket and shifting lever for the digging tool.
With special attachments (telescopic stick, hydraulic offset boom, ...) some bearing points at the
attachment or at the working tool are possibly not connected to the central lubrication system.
This bearing points have to be lubricated daily via separately mounted, red marked lubricating nip-
ples and using a grease gun or a manual grease pump.
Notice!
The standard undercarriages of crawler excavators do not require daily lubrication.
On undercarriages with special design necessitating regular lubrication (undercarriages with adjust-
able track width, ...) the lubrication points are not connected to the centralized lubrication. For de-
scription of the corresponding lubrication works, see the subgroups related to the special
maintenance for these undercarriages.

In the semi automatic system, the pump is controlled by the push button S84 on the rear control
desk of the driver's cab.
With the Diesel engine running,

Depress the button S84.
The control light in the button lights up.

Operation of the full automatic lubrication system
Note!
The time necessary for the lubrication is dependent on the grease viscosity and temperature and
on the design and number of connected components. At very low temperatures up to 30 minutes
may be necessary for sufficient lubrication.
During lubrication, the delivery of grease can be checked visually while observing, through the
transparent cap 27.2 of the stroke controller 27 mounted to the top of the main distributor 2, that the
indicator stem 27.1 moves alternately in and out.
Lubrication intervals.
Under normal working conditions a semi automatic lubrication must be performed daily.
If the machine is used under hard conditions (working under water, in very abrasive material,
) or in multi shift service, it is necessary to lubricate more often (up to once a working shift
or every 4 hours).
4 Operation of the full automatic lubrication system
4.1 Function of the lubrication system

After turning on the excavator the control light inside the touch S84 and the green LED 17 of the in-
tegrated control unit 16 light up for approximately 1,5 sec. to show that the electric pump is operative.
.A lubrication procedure will begin automatically after a "cycle time" is over and stop after all points
have been lubricated, this without any action by the operator.
During a lubricating procedure, all lubrication points are lubricated one after the other in a certain se-
quence (progressive system).
After completion of a lubrication procedure, the pump is turned off by a proximity switch B51 mounted
to a distribution element of the main distributor 2.

At each stroke of a piston in this element, the switch B51 gives a pulse signal to the control unit 16,
which stops the lubricating procedure as soon as the preadjusted number of strokes has been
reached.
Starting an additional lubrication procedure

If the lubrication system is in working order, an additional lubricating procedure of the lubrication unit
can be started any time by depressing either the push button S84 on the rear control desk or the touch
19 on the motor housing.
4.2 Monitoring of the automatic lubrication system

During a lubrication procedure of the lubrication unit 2, the control light inside the push button S84
and the green LED 17 are on continuously.
In case of a failure in the lubrication circuit (no stroke signal delivered by the proximity switch B51
about 20 minutes after begin of a lubrication procedure) both LEDs 17 and 18 and the control light
inside S84 will start blinking simultaneously.
The possible causes are:
a plugged or kinked lubrication line, (in this case the grease will flow out of the relief valve 26),
a failure of the switch B51 or of its connecting wire,
the use of too viscous grease at very low temperatures,
not enough grease in the grease tank 13,
a problem in the 24 V electrical circuit for the motor 14.

4.4 Emergency lubrication with defective lubrication system

In case the lubrication pump 15 does not work, all lubrication points connected to the centralized sys-
tem may be lubricated via the lubrication fitting 25 using a lubrication gun.
In this case, press daily or per working shift approximately 200 cm3 grease into the fitting 25.

15 Grease pump 25 Emergency lubrication fitting
5 To refill a grease container

The grease level in the container 13 of the pump must be checked weekly, and if necessary, the con-
tainer refilled.
See the lubricant chart for grease specification.
The refilling of the grease container should only be done via the special fitting 21.

Arrangement of distributors and lubrication points
Note!
Avoid refilling the container 13 via the upper cover 23, since it could create an air pocket in the con-
tainer and cause the pump 15 to run dry.
Insert a grease cartridge in the special filling pump 31 (Id. No. 10009239)
connect the pump to the fitting 21
push the whole content of the cartridge into the container 13.
For indication of ordering number of grease cartridges, refer to subgroup "lubricants specifications".
If the special filling pump 31 or the grease cartridges are not available:
refill the container 13 through the grease fitting 22, using a grease gun.

Lube pump description
18.51: Lubrication pump
This subgroup describes the fully automatic lube pump comprising a controller unit 16 which triggers
the lubricating procedures.
However the descriptions in this group are also valid for the semi-automatic pump (started and
stopped by a button in the cab). For this second pump, only the informations concerning the control-
ler unit 16 (mainly the parts 4 and 5) do not apply.
1 Lube pump description
The set of the lubrication unit U4 is constituted of a transparent grease tank 13, of an electric motor
10 which drives the lubrication pump 15 and the stirrer 12 and of an integrated controller unit 16 sit-
uated underneath, which triggers the lubrication procedures.
The lubrication pump can be fitted with up to three pumping elements working independent one of
the other .

Function
2 Function
The DC motor 10 continually drives the

eccentric cam 5 with the pressure ring
6. The eccentric moves the delivery
piston 7 which changes between a
suction stroke and a delivery stroke,
whereby the integrated non-return
valve 8 prevents the delivered lubricant
from being sucked back from the main
greasing line. The agitator blade 12
pushes the lubricant from the supply
container 13 through the screen plate
4, which reduces any air bubbles, to
the suction area in the pump housing
3. A scraper mounted on the agitator
blade 12 enables a visual check of the
lubricant volume still present in the
transparent supply container 13. The
pressure relief valve 9 ensures con-
stant pressure in the lubricating pump
cycle and is set to a fixed value. During
each revolution of the eccentric 5 a
predefined volume of grease (deter-
mined by the piston diameter and the
stroke travel) enters the plunger cham-
ber and is then pumped into the main
line .
For indication of the preset relief pres-
sure at valve 9 and the delivery rate of
the pump, refer to the subgroup cen-
talized lubrication system before in
this manual.

proximity sensor B51 generates an impulse.
The controller unit 16 stops the pump as soon as a complete lubrication procedure is over, that
means, as soon as the impulses number reaches the preset value NS (Number of strokes)

Integrated control system (EP-tronic)
During a lubrication procedure of the lubrication unit 2, the control light inside the push button S84
and the green LED 17 are on continuously.
After completion of the lubrication procedure, when the preset number of strokes NS has been de-
tected by the proximity switch B51 the controller unit stopps the pump.
The next lubrication procedure will begin automatically after the predefined "cycle duration" CD is
over .
In case of a failure in the lube circuit (no stroke signal delivered by the proximity switch B51 about 20
minutes after begin of a lubrication procedure) both LEDs 17 and 18 and the control light inside S84
will start blinking simultaneously.
The possible causes are:
a plugged or kinked lubrication line, (in this case the grease will flow out of the relief valve 9),
a failure of the switch B51 or of its connecting wire,
the use of too viscous grease at very low temperatures,
not enough grease in the grease tank 13,
a problem in the 24 V electrical circuit for the motor 14.
Immediately locate and remedy the cause of the trouble.
A data memory holding all the relevant parameter data (i.e. times, number of strokes, ...) is integrated
in the electronic control unit.
When the ignition of the machine is turned off, either during a lubrication procedure or during the
break between two procedures, the number of completed strokes and the cycle times are recorded.
When the ignition is switched on again, the relevant data concerning the interrupted cycle are read
from the memory and the lubrication cycle restarts, going on at the point it was stopped.
If the internal battery of the controller unit is defective, the red LED 18 flashes at intervals of 0,5 sec-
onds.
If the lubrication system is in working order, an additional lubricating procedure of the lube unit can
be started any time by depressing either the push button S84 on the rear control desk or the touch
19 on the motor housing. This additional procedure might also be started for test purposes. The pump
immediately starts a new lube cycle, and the previously recordedcycle data (strokes, time, ...) are re-
set

Service manual Progressive distributor SX-E
Function
18.61: Progressive distributor SX-E
1 Function
The progressive piston distributors SXE-2 are distribution units with hydraulic sequence control,
whose pistons are controlled by the lubricant supply so that the lubricant is forced in sequence
through the individual outlets. If faults occur in the lubricant flow, e.g. blockage of lubricant lines or
lubricant points, this will block the distributor.
This blocking is used to monitor the distributor. A strong counter-pressure that is difficult to overcome
occurs in manually operated pumps if there is a blockage. In automatic pumps, the lubricant escapes
via the pressure-relief valve. The progressive distributors SXE-2 are produced in variable modular
formats. This has the advantage that the distributor, i.e. the number of lubricant points and their vol-
umes can be changed as required without too much outlay.
The progressive distributor SXE-2 consists mainly of distributor panels. These consist of a basic unit
and a dosing unit or a blind unit. Basic units are divided into start units, middle units and end units.
This modular design means that both the delivery rate of individual outlets and the number of outlets
themselves can be modified.
The various delivery rates per piston stroke are achieved by the different piston diameters of the dos-
ing units, which can be exchanged as required. A blind unit can be used to reduce the number of lu-
bricant points in an existing distributor or a basic unit with dosing unit can be removed. The distributor
can be expanded at any time by adding another basic unit with dosing unit.

Description
Note!
Three delivery elements are always required for correct functionality of a progressive distributor
SXE-2, i.e. each distributor must have at least three metering elements.
Blind elements which do not contain distribution pistons as well starting element are not counted.
Fig. 2 Starting element , a = distributor outlet, b = distributor inlet

Basic units are divided into start units, middle units and end units (see figures 2 - 4 - 5). Each dosing
or blind unit fits every basic unit.
Each distributor must consist of a start unit, one to eight middle units and an end unit. The units are
sealed with O-rings, which have to be installed in the middle and end units.
Any of the inlet threaded fittings can be screwed into the distributor inlet of the start unit. The outlet
threaded fittings can be screwed into the distributor outlets.

2.2 Progressive distributor SXE-2 - Metering element

The progressive distributor SXE-2 dosing units are responsible for the precise distribution of the lu-
bricant supply. They contain pistons with various diameters that are used to achieve the required de-
livery rates.
The dosing units are screwed onto the distributor units. The dosing and basic units are sealed with
O-rings.
Dosing units are screwed onto the basic units with two Allen screws M5x35, tightening torque of
5 Nm.

2.3 Progressive distributor SXE-2 - Blind unit

A blind unit can be used if a lubricant point in the system is no longer required or distribution outlets
are added for future additional lubricant points. This unit does not have a piston, therefore the distrib-
utor must consist of at least 4 distributor panels, i.e. a start unit, at least two middle units, an end unit
and three dosing units.
Fittings are sealed with O-rings like the dosing units. The O-ring set used for dosing units can also
be used in this case.
The blind units, like dosing units, are screwed onto the basic units with two Allen screws M5x35 and
a tightening torque of 5 Nm.
2.4 Progressive distributor SXE-2 - Combination of outlets
2.4.1 Progressive distributor SXE-2 - 2 outlets combined

It may be necessary to combine two or more outlets on the progressive distributor for larger lubricant
points. Each basic unit in the progressive distributor has two outlets.

Description
It is possible to combine the delivery rate of two outlets from the same basic unit or the delivery rates
of outlets from two different, but neighbouring, basic units.
To combine the delivery rates from two outlets on the same basic unit, the two outlets are combined
by removing the sealing screw between the outlet sides and plugging one outlet with a plug screw.
The delivery rate from the sealed side is now forced through the open side, i.e. the delivery rate of
the open side doubles.
To separate combined outlets on the progressive distributor, reinsert the sealing screw and sealing
ring.

2.4.2 Distributor SXE-2 - Combination of 3 - 4 oulets with a distributor link

If the overall delivery rate of a distribution panel in the progressive distributor is still insufficient with
combined outlets, e.g. with very large lubricant points or main distributors, it is possible to combine
the outlets of several distribution panels.
Two, three or four outlets of different, but neighbouring, distributor panels can be combined together
with help of distributor links.
The delivery rates of two outlets on different distributor panels can be combined with help of a distrib-
utor link with outlet. Remove the outlet threaded fittings of the two outlets being combined and insert
a distributor link 3 with outlet instead. The sealing screws 1 located between the outlets of each indi-
vidual distributor unit must remain in place. The delivery rates from the outlets of the two distributor

A distributor link with outlet replaces, on one side, the outlet threaded fittings of the neighbouring dis-
tributor panels whose outlets are being combined. When the sealing screw 1 is removed from the out-
let on the basic unit opposite the distributor link 3, it must be replaced by a plug screw 2. The delivery
rates of all three outlets are then forced through the distributor link outlet.
If four outlets are combined, the sealing screws 1 in both basic units must be removed and a plug
screw 2 inserted in both outlets opposing the distributor link 3. The delivery rates of all four outlets
are then forced through the distributor link 3 outlet.

lets of the distributor panels concerned.
The distributor links can be combined together to combine five or more outlets. The procedure is as
described above.

An optical stroke monitor can be installed on the progressive distributor SXE-2 instead of a proximity
sensor. This can only be installed on dosing units 400 SXE-2 to 769 SXE-2. Retrofitting is not possi-
ble, therefore optical stroke monitoring must be requested when ordering.

Service manual Progressive distributor MX-F
Function
18.66: Progressive distributor MX-F
1 Function
The progressive piston distributors are distributor devices with a hydraulic sequence control, the pis-
tons of which are regulated by the supplied lubricant in a way that the lubricant inevitably and suc-
cessively escapes at the individual outlets. In the case of malfunctions during the flow of lubricant,
e.g. clogging of lubricating line or lubricating points, the distributors will block up. This blockage is
used for the monitoring of the distributors. In the case of manually operated pumps a virtually insur-
mountable counter pressure occurs during the blockage. In the case of automatic pumps such as e.g.
the electropump EP-1 the lubricant escapes at the relief valve. The progressive distributors are man-
ufactured in a variable disk construction, permitting a variable configuration according to the amount
of lubricating points, their positions on the vehicle and their necessary lubricant dose. Which also of-
fers the advantage that the distributor can be extended or shortened according to the hydraulic
scheme to realise. Due to this disk construction there is also the possibility of constructing an overall
progressive distributor from individual distributor disks with different outputs per piston stroke. The
difference in output per piston stroke is achieved by different piston diameters. To ensure the proper
functioning of a progressive distributor a minimum of three pistons, i.e. a minimum of three output
elements is required.

2.2 Progressive distributor MX-F - Combination of outlets
2.2.1 Distributor MX-F - Combining 2 outlets

For larger lubrication areas the assembly of two or more outlets at the progressive distributor may be
required. The individual disks of the progressive distributor have two outlets. When assembling two
outlets at the progressive distributor the two outlets of one disk are connected. To achieve this, the
grub screw F separating the two sides is removed and a lock screw G screwed in to the side, which
is to be closed. The output of the closed side is now escaping on the other side, i.e. the output of the
open side is doubled.

2.2.2 Distributor MX-F - Combining several outlets

If the total output of the outlets assembled in one disk of the progressive distributor is not sufficient,
e.g. in the case of large bearing spots or main distributors, there is the possibility of assembling the
outlets of several distributor disks. To achieve this, two distributor disks are connected with a pipe or
distributor bridge as described here. Depending on which element the grub screw separating the two
sides of a distributor disk is removed from, in this way three outlets are connected. Subsequently, the
output of the closed outlets escaped at one outlet. The dosage is calculated on the basis of the output
value of all assembled piston sides.

a pipe bridge H, always concerns at least three outlets, as the output must be directed through one
of the disks of the progressive distributor. Furthermore, the grub screw F must always be removed
from one of the two distributor disks assembled with a pipe bridge. One pipe bridge H can also be
used for the assembly of four outlets. To achieve this, the grub screws must be removed from both
distributor disks and one of the two outlets must be closed off from the pipe bridge with a lock
screw G. Also individual parts of pipe bridges H can be ordered.
Fig. 11 Pipe bridge H with 2 reductions 7, lock nut B and double cone ring C
Two types of distributor bridges are available

Shipment 1 - Distributor bridges without outlet I
They have the same function as pipe bridges H.
Fig. 12 Distributor bridge without outlet I

Shipment 2 - Distributor bridges with outlet J
Two, three or four outlets can be connected at different adjacent distributor disks by using distributor
bridges with outlet J. For the connection of four outlets the grub screw F must be removed from both
distributor disks and a lock screw G must be screwed into the outlets situated opposite the distributor
bridge. As a result, the output of all four outlets escapes at the outlet of the distributor bridge. For the
connection of three outlets the grub screw must be removed from one of the two concerned distributor

disks. As a result, the output of all three outlets escapes at the outlet of the distributor bridge. For the
connection of only two outlets (on different adjacent distributor disks) the grub screw F may not be
removed from either of the two concerned distributor disks. As a result, the output of both the outlets
escapes at the outlet of the distributor bridge.

b Already conveyed
c Subsequent delivery stroke
Phase B
The piston (I) is shifted to the left and the lubricant is pressed from the left pressure range of the de-
livery piston to the outlet 1. After that, the proportioning pistons (II) and (III) are progressively shifted
and the lubricant is primed to the outlets 2 and 3.

Phase C
After the piston (III) has been shifted, the lubricant is directed to the left side of the delivery piston (I)
(figure C) and primed from the right pressure range of the delivery piston to the outlet 4. Subsequent-
ly, the delivery pistons (II) and (III) are shifted and the lubricant is pressed to the outlets 5 and 6. After
the delivery piston (III) has been shifted, the lubricant is once more directed to the right side of the
delivery piston (figure A) and a new cycle of the progressive piston distributor is initiated. The de-
scribed function is repeated as long as lubricant is fed to the progressive distributor.

Service manual Lube hoses repair instructions
18.81: Lube hoses repair instructions

In the event of damage to lubrication hoses (breakage, tearing, kinking, etc...) Liebherr provides a
special repair kit that allows you to repair the hoses, so that they do not have to be replaced (espe-
cially efficient for very long hoses that are part of an attachment).
The repair kit enables you to repair efficiently and safely damaged and torn hoses. Short lines show-
ing damage are best replaced, which is also possible with the repair kit (spare connecting elements).
The procedure for installation is the same as for repair (no need for straight screw connection 5).
Product ID no.: Hose size (ND)
Hose repair kit 10114979 4 / 6,3
Repair kit for connecting pieces, complete 10014611 4 / 6,3
Mounting of collet
Hold the lubrication hose 1 using gripper tongues 2.
Grease or oil the hose end.
Turn the collet 3 (WS17) anticlockwise to open it.
Open it until dimension X is reached, see Fig. 1.
Remove the gripper tongues 2.
Fig. 1 Mounting of collet
Mounting of pipe nozzle

Oil the thread and the conical end of the pipe nozzle 4.
Turn the pipe nozzle 4 (WS12) into the mounted collet 3 (WS17) to the stop.

Fig. 2 Mounting of pipe nozzle
Note!
The diameters of hoses might vary slightly, due to manufacturing processes. If the hose diameter is
smaller, it might be possible to mount the collet 3 onto the hose without the need of force or tools,
so that the hose is not properly held in place in the collet.
Corrective :
Slightly press the tip (1 or 2 mm) of the collet 3 at the hose insertion side to an oval shape.
This prevents that the hose is pushed off the collet when the pipe nozzle 4 is screwed in.
Connecting lubrication hoses

Use straight screw connectors 5 to connect high-pressure hoses 1.
Tighten the screw connection 5 with the prescribed torque.
The hose repair is now completed.

Fig. 4 R 954 C with demolition attachment

When changing between a demolition attachment and an earthmoving attachment
The machines equipped ex factory with the original kit for the operation with a demolition attachment
are fitted with a three ways valve 3WV, the commutation of which realises the necessary lube circuit
adaptation between demolition and earthmoving attachment.
The 3 ways valve 3WV must be turned to d position when the machine is working with a demolition
attachment, or when working with an earthmoving attachment having no lubrication for the connect-
ing rod connected to the central lubrication circuit (variant A in schematics below).
The 3 ways valve 3WV must be turned to e position when the machine is working with an
earthmoving attachment, and only if the lubrication for the connecting rod is connected to the central
lubrication circuit (variants B, C, D and E in schematics below).
