    This ought to help. An Operation & Maintenance Manual is Cat publication reference SEBU6933. Here's one on eBay for $33 + S&H. https://www.ebay.com/itm/SEBU6933-C...n-Maintenance-Manual-CD-6TL-7ML-/312542851801

    it seems every country makes some creative connections. this one has connected a level, turning and bucket fixing separate system connected. they made extra switches ,to control .. turning level now works. only to find the fixing is a challenge . as this is a system with no monitor. any ideas are most welcome .

    today i think of crying , started the excavator , drove 20 m ,then engine start by itself a very high rpm . then i stopped it . now it wont start ?? anyone a idea ? diesel enough , although the manual small diesel pre pump pump on the engine itself seems to have no real pressure when i turn up and down but i dont know if this is standard at cat. i was mechanic for many machinery but this one is a new challenge

    diesel is leaking from the injection pump ,and between pump and engine so can not see exacly where anyone has a picture how it looks , maybe there is a loose screw ??
