HYDRAULIC CRAWLER EXCAVATOR SPIN ACE 75
This excavator has been designed and built to the highest standards of quality. It conforms to all current safety
regulations. However, the risk of accidents can never be completely excluded. That is why it is essential to observe
elementary safety rules and precautions.
Read this manual carefully, paying particular attention to the instructions concerning safety, operation and
maintenance so as to avoid the risk of injury while operating or servicing the excavator.
The standard attachments and tools of this excavator are designed to carry out all kinds of earthmoving and
rehandling operations. If you want to use this excavator to handle a load (pipes, culverts, formwork, etc.), make
sure that it is designed to carry out this kind of work.
Do not use this excavator for any application or purpose other than those described in this manual. If the excavator
is to be used for work involving the use of special attachments, accessories or equipment, consult your LBX
Link-Belt dealer in order to make sure that any adaptations or modifications made are in keeping with the
excavator's technical specifications and with prevailing safety requirements.
Any modification or adaptation which is not approved by the manufacturer may invalidate the excavator's initial
conformity with safety requirements.
The excavator must undergo regular inspections, the frequency of which varies according to the type of use.
Consult your LBX Link-Belt dealer.
Before permitting a new operator on this excavator, make sure:
1. That the operator has received the necessary training on how to operate the excavator correctly and safely in
one of our training centers or from an approved organization.
2. That the operator has read and understood the instructions given in this manual.
Always keep this manual in the operator's compartment (in the seat back, behind the operator's seat). Make sure it
is always complete and in good condition. If you wish to obtain extra copies, or a copy in Latin American Spanish,
consult your LBX Link-Belt dealer.
Your LBX Link-Belt dealer is at your disposal for any further information. They will also provide any after-sales
service you may require, and genuine LBX Link-Belt spare parts, your guarantee of quality and match.

MAIN COMPONENTS
The Spin Ace 75 is a fully hydraulic excavator. They consist of an undercarriage fitted with tracks and a turntable
bearing which supports the upperstructure frame. The upperstructure frame supports the attachment, at the front
end of the excavator, plus the engine, hydraulics and cab. When the operator works the controls, the engine-driven
pump delivers hydraulic fluid to the control valves. The control valves distribute the hydraulic fluid to the various
cylinders and motors concerned. A cooling system maintains the hydraulic fluid at normal operating temperature.

UTILITY SAFETY
Safety precaution MUST be followed when working
near buried and over head utility lines.
During operation it is likely that you will be working
around or near buried or over head utility lines which
may include, but are not limited to:
• Electrical Power Line
• Gas Line
• Water Line
• Communication Line - Telephone or Cable
Television
Before beginning any excavator operation, it is
your responsibility to be aware of all such utility
lines buried and over head in the area of your
project and to avoid them.
ALWAYS have all local utility companies mark the
location of their lines.
In U.S.A. and Canada call one of many “One Call
System Director” services. If you do not know the
local number, call the national number (U.S.A. and
Canada only): 811.
Check with local authorities for laws, regulations
and/or strict penalties requiring you to locate and
avoid existing utilities.

4. Drain the fuel tank and fill with a mixture of 90%
diesel fuel and 10% anti-corrosive oil. Run the
engine at idle speed for five minutes to allow the
anti-corrosive oil to reach the lines, filters, pump
and injectors.
5. While the engine is still warm, drain the oil sump,
fill with anti-corrosive oil and replace the engine

6. When the engine is cold, clean the outer parts of
the engine with diesel fuel.
7. Clean or replace the air filter element.
8. Drain the cooling system, leave the drain valves
open and do not tighten the radiator cap.
9. Remove the batteries, clean the battery housings
and make sure not to leave any traces of acid.
Store the batteries in a cool, dry place, where
temperature is always above freezing.
10. Paint any areas where the paintwork is not good.
11. Plug the air filter inlet and the exhaust pipe.
12. Remove the starter switch key and place a “Do
not operate” label on the right-hand control arm
and then raise the gate lock lever (safety bar in
inward position).
13. Lock the hoods and the cab door.
WARNING: Check the excavator for leaks or for any parts that are broken,

NOTES
FUSES
NOTE: Before changing fuses or relays, turn the
starter key switch to the Shut down position.
IMPORTANT: Never replace a fuse with a fuse of a
different amperage.
The fuse box is located in the operator ’s
compartment at the back on the left-hand side.
Figure 1
To access the fuses, remove the cover of the box.
A notice on the cover gives the function and
amperage of each fuse.
NOTE: To remove and install a fuse, use the plastic
pliers located inside the box.
NOTE: Two spare fuses (10 amp and 20 amp) are to
be found on the inside of the cover.

• Lift capacities shown should not be exceeded. The weight of all lifting accessories and the weight of all other
auxiliary attachment devices such as couplers and thumbs must be deducted from the above lift capacities.
• Lift capacities are based on the machine sitting on a firm uniform level supporting surface. The user must make
allowances for job conditions such as soft or uneven ground.
• The lift capacities shown do not exceed 75% of the minimum tipping loads or 87% of the hydraulic capacities.
Capacities marked with an asterisk (*) are limited by hydraulic capacities.
• Lift capacities shown are with Auto Power Boost engaged.
• The least stable position is over the side.
• The operator should be fully acquainted with the Link-Belt Excavator Operator's Manual and the Hydraulic
Excavator Safety Manual furnished by LBX before operating the machine.
• Lift capacities apply only to excavators as originally manufactured and normally equipped by LBX Company,
LLC. Lift capacities must be adjusted for excavators equipped with buckets other than that specified on the lift
chart and for excavators equipped with thumbs and couplers.
• Lift capacity ratings are based on SAE J1097, reissued DEC2005, “Hydraulic Excavator Lift Capacity Calculation
and Test Procedure”.
