Documented applicability

Documented market
U.S. publication. The brochure does not establish a production-year or serial-number interval.
Base configuration
Unless otherwise noted: canopy unit, standard arm, full fuel tank, 79 kg (175 lb) operator; 457-mm (18 in.), 0.7-m3 (2.3 cu. ft.) bucket, 300-mm (12 in.) rubber track, and 292-kg (644 lb.) counterweight. The manufacturer’s metric and imperial base-bucket volumes disagree.
Limits of the source
  • Maximum digging reach is printed without a ground-level qualifier.
  • AUX flow is shown in L/m and gpm as printed. Hydraulic relief pressure is not determined by these figures.
  • The general base-equipment footnote specifies 300-mm rubber tracks; the machine-dimensions track-width row prints 305 mm. Retain both with their context.

Review
Record reviewed by Codex and Claude (AI-assisted review; no independent human review). Each original unit cell was checked against an independent image reading, with the printed arm, operator station, and counterweight column. The dimensions and base-equipment footnote were checked separately.
